I yanked out my earbuds, that noise had to be a scream. Since I was head boy, and currently sitting in my room, that meant the scream could have only come from Rose Weasley. Knowing that Rose had a tendency to overreact I wasn't in much of a rush. Rose was currently standing on the couch in our shared common room pointing to a spot on the ground.
"Oh thank Merlin Malfoy kill the blasted thing," she cried her eyes still glued to the ground.
"Really Weasley, a spider. This is a new low even for you."
"Just kill it!"
"I'm not touching that thing!"
"Scorpy! Pweeze," she said pouting her lips and batting her eyelashes.
"Ugh, fine, but I refuse to kill this poor helpless creature," I sighed giving into her pleas.
After finding the tiny arachnid, I set the poor spider on the counter before covering it with a paper cup. I would have to let the thing go tomorrow seeing that it was past curfew.
"Alas, you are safe fair maiden," I chuckled taking a mock bow.
"My prince charming," she laughed jumping from the couch to my arms, wrapping her legs around my waist. "How will I ever repay you?"
"I have a few ideas."
