Hey, this is my newest story; I hope it'll be better than the other two. I guess I just had to find something that would work and didn't have too many already set rules. Please review, everything is welcome!
Disclaimer: (the usual again) deep sigh Unfortunately the world of Harry Potter and company does not belong to me, but to the great Rowling.
Me, a Typical Day
I looked up from my book and placed it neatly on my lap, angrily folding my arms and staring back. Minutes slowly ticked by on the grandfather clock opposite me and our staring match was no different from when it started.
"What the hell is there to stare at?" I asked finally. Idiot, he has done it so many times and I have put up with it. But not this time.
"You are interesting to look at when you're reading." Came his smooth, but lame reply. Insufferable fool.
"Well don't!" I snapped, "It's bloody annoying and for your information I'm studying, not reading. I would like to get a decent grade, what about you?" I added sarcastically.
"Touch a nerve did I Pyscia?" he asked silkily giving me his charmingly arrogant smile. Charmingly arrogant? Why the hell did I say that? Must be the studying getting to my head.
"Sev!" I heard a very familiar voice call; at this rate I would never memorize that Invisibility Potion. Shaking my head, I made a tutting noise.
Why! Ours N.E.W.Ts were SO close, why won't they just shut up and study?
"Problem Pyscia?" For Merlin's sake!!! Beyond my limit I stood up ready to depart to my dorm, where hopefully it'll be slightly more peaceful there. But not before I elbowed Severus nicely in the rib as I pushed past.
"What the bloody hell was that for!?!" he yelled after me, rubbing his side. Good. It had the desired effect.
"She got something up her ass, she does." Lucius Malfoy stated as he seated himself luxuriously on the sofa, mentioning his friend Severus Snape to follow suite.
"Might have something to do with the fact that no other than Sirius Black was ogling at her throughout the entire double potions." Came his reply, "And may I remind that he got 50 points docked and a weeks worth of detention?"
"Ahhh... Sweet memories!" Lucius exclaimed, as if it were a memory of a happy Christmas party.
"Yes, very true..."
"But...." Lucius prompted.
"Is of course a cause for concern." Severus finally said, not sure whether it'd be wise idea to bring it up.
"Don't worry, Pyscia more able than we thinks she is. Her mother has some very powerful talents. Or that's what Narcissa said." Lucius said smoothly, not noticing the fatal mistake he made.
"So on the topic of Narcissa..." Severus began teasingly.
"Drop it!"
"Alright!" Severus said shrugging, giving his annoying knowing little grin, "You said it!"
"What about a topic we love so dearly!" Lucius suggested.
"Yes!" Severus said sarcastically, and then going into a mock serious tone, "Let us discuss the best methods of harming, physically and mentally, the Gryffindors without much damage to our side and the least paperwork involved."
"Excellent topic!" Lucius replied eagerly leaning and forward rubbing his palms together.
Only five minutes after seating myself behind my desk, the door was swung open and in came Narcissa, panting and flushed like she had run a marathon. Luckily those five minutes had been just enough to finish my memorization of the entire method of making and brewing the Invisibility Potion. Or I would not have been as understanding towards my best friend.
"You will never guess what Lucius Malfoy just asked me!!!" she said seating herself opposite me and clasping my hands.
"Do you remember the assignment that was set by McGonnagal?" I said in a serious tone.
"No! Try again!" came her feverish reply.
"Hmmm.... Let me see..." I said putting my hand to my chin in pretending to think, but really amusing myself with the anguish it was causing her.
"I know! He asked you if you saw his book on the Dark Arts! He asked me that anyway..."
"NO!!!" she screeched bouncing up so high that her golden head just brushed the bed hangings.
"Or perhaps... He asked you to accompany him to Hogsmeade this coming weekend." the sarcastic, but very welcome voice of Hazel Haroldson said.
"YES!!!" Narcissa screamed jumping from the bed and doing a little happy dance around the room.
"Delirious if you ask me!" Hazel snorted.
"I-mean-what-more-could-a-girl-wish-for!" she said jumping around in circles on the spot.
"Well if you don't sit down honey, Lucius might think you are slightly insane." I smiled, trying to force her into a chair. "Hazel did you close the door on your way in?"
"He thinks! She IS!!!" Hazel said standing up and giving the door a swift kick.
"He comes from such a respectable family!" Narcissa started, "And he's the- "
"Man of your dreams!" Hazel finished for her, having heard this countless times. "We know! WE KNOW!"
"So you two will have to go without me and get me a dress robe, alright!" Narcissa pleaded, giving us her puppy look.
"Obviously!" Hazel retorted, "You'd bring us too much shame if you went naked!"
"Only if you let us be your bridesmaids!" I said.
"Thank you so much!!! And of course you'll be my bridesmaids! I couldn't think of anyone better! " she yelled engulfing us with a hug, before lying back on her bed in dreamland.
"If they get that far.." Hazel muttered.
"Talking of dates..." she said slightly louder.
"Yes!" Narcissa responded bolting upright again.
"Regelus Black asked me to the Dance..." she replied smugly.
"Really!!!"
"YES!!!"
"That is SO great!"
"I know!"
"Hazel you're infected!" I warned.
"What is your problem?" Narcissa asked.
"Too quiet for it to be normal." Hazel said, "Aren't you the one who gets exited and squeals over dates?"
"I never 'squeal'! That's Cis's specialty."
"Are you sick? Bad mark? Pet die? Gryffindors being a pain?" Came the flow of questions as Narcissa ticked them off on her fingers.
"Close..." I murmured.
"Which one?" Narcissa asked frustrated, "I listed four, surely not all!"
"Last one."
"Sirius Black." Hazel said in an accusing voice.
"What did he do to you!?" Narcissa asked with a sharp intake of breath.
"Stared at her for the entire double lesson." Hazel read the accusation.
"Bloody loser..." I muttered, "Thinks all girls will swoon over him."
"Well he's got that wrong hon." Hazel said comforting, "He went wrong with the Slytherin Girls."
"It's just bad luck Py!" Narcissa said brightly, "But on the bright side-"
"There is none." I said moodily.
"Severus was also giving you side glances, every so often."
"She's right you know!" Hazel said noticing my silence.
"Who cares about Severus's short attentoin span?" I said dully. Big lie... I would never admit though.
"And to add to the silver lining..." Hazel said seeing that it wasn't cheering me up. "Black won't be able to go to Quidditch practice for a week, giving us the an extra whole week to work on new skills and strategies."
"You know Professor Weining, he gives the most severe detentions to Gryffindors. They last on the average about five hours per night!" Narcissa declared.
"Besides he probably won't stare at you anymore after scrubbing all the cauldrons by hand." Hazel said matter-of-factly.
"And I could get Lucius to push him into line a bit." Narcissa said hopefully.
"Those Gryffindors are really too much!" Hazel said viciously.
"Someone should wipe out all those impurities." Narcissa said, "That is what farther said."
"Especially Potter and his gang!" I declared, "And that flimsy whore, Evans, can go along with them."
"Very precise, the Dark Lord is already seeing to it." Hazel said dreamily.
My mother wouldn't have approved if she heard all this, even if she saw the folk in Gryffindor. Her ancestors came from a long line of Atlantic merpeople, they were rather peaceful serene creatures who passed their peaceful nature onto her. It was the reason that my father hadn't joined the Dark Lord. He loves my mother dearly and doesn't want to see her upset.
He's head of the Auror Department in the ministry and so is at a rather difficult position. He and the Dark Lord have an unwritten truce. As long as he doesn't harm or kill any Death Eaters, he will leave us alone and exempt us from joining his ranks. My father was happy with this, but just to be extra precautious he did in fact now and then tell his friends about on going 'events' in the ministry...
"Pyscia Maraquelle!" Hazel yelled, "I asked you a question!"
"Oh, what... sorry!" I said quickly sitting up straight.
"We were wondering if you too would like to use your talent to help us win more corridor duels." Narcissa informed me.
"They are getting so pathetic, they like to catch Severus along with all our other fellow Slytherins when we are alone."
"Ganging up are we Potter?" I said coldly, "So pathetic you can't duel properly? Only when your other mates are around?"
"See our point Py, if you could just lure them once and do your little thing they will never try to set foot on our ground again." Hazel asked hopefully.
"No, I'm sorry I can't... My badge... and the staff would eventually find out." I began, but scenes of first year Slytherins getting bashed against walls and girls getting tied up by their plaits flashed across my mind, I flinched. "But if I see it I will act accordingly." I said finally.
"You will not regret!" Narcissa said. "I promise!"
"I doubt I will." I answered.
