Harry Potter and the Consequences of Gossip
Chapter Two - Good Girls Go Bad
Gossip Girl here, and I bet you're wondering what I am doing up so early. Well, truth is I never went to bed, why waste time dreaming when waking life is so much better. Especially when there is going to be a new Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher introduced…
"Serena, are you sure you're okay?" Nate asked in a comforting tone as he watched Serena move her eggs around on her plate. 'If I can just get her to know that I care about her…' he thought to himself as she was clearly worried about Blair's threat.
"I'll be fine" she responded with a half-smile, but she still continued to play with her food.
"Serena?" Hermione asked tentatively, "I know I've only just met you, but if Blair is your best friend like you say she is, she probably won't do anything" she added with a squeeze of Serena's shoulder.
"You don't know Blair" Jenny commented as she took a seat beside Ginny.
"Yeah she is a bitch" Erik stated before he perched on the edge of the bench.
"She is a manipulative, scheming bitch who likes nothing more than to get revenge and watch people suffer" he added.
"Look Erik, we all know how Blair can be but still…" Serena sighed and looked over at the Slytherin table just as Blair's eyes locked on her, cold and scheming.
"No, Serena. Just face the fact that you and Blair always have arguments and you're the one who goes running back to her. You need to stick up for yourself because you are better than her" he stated, before he noticed his new friends Ernie McMillan and Susan Bones waving him over.
"I'm gonna go but just think about what I said, okay" Erik said as if he were the protective older brother.
"And you know if you don't, yellow was always your colour" Erik teased as he made his way back over to this table.
"Attention" Dumbledore's voice suddenly rang out across the Great Hall, silencing it at once as he had never given a morning speech before.
"Now, I am sure you are all aware that last night there was a space missing on the staff table. Our new Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher had to finish some business at the Ministry of Magic last night but he has arrived in time to begin classes. I would like you to give a warm welcome to Mr. Jack Bass, your new Defence Against the Dark Arts professor" Dumbledore announced, clapping and the rest of the school followed as well as some murmurs about the potential family relationship between the professor and the new exchange student.
"You cannot be serious" Blair hissed to Chuck as he sat next to her looking just as shocked as she was.
"What the hell is he doing here?" Chuck seethed as he glared daggers at his Uncle.
"Like hell I know" Blair bit back, "he's probably here to stop you taking over the family business after you finish school since he isn't an Auror anymore" she added as an afterthought.
"Or maybe he has some unfinished business to attend to" Chuck said darkly and Blair almost choked on her yoghurt. She turned her face to him, eyes darker.
"I never asked for it" she breathed. "I didn't know it was him" she whispered, but there was an icy edge to it.
"Yeah well that doesn't change what you did" Chuck scoffed. "I guess it was just lucky I walked in on you when I did… who knows what compromising position someone else could have found you two in… or if someone else knew about it" he quipped back with a hint of warning in his voice. Chuck stood from the table and made his way out of the Great Hall as Blair watched him before her gaze turned to her Defence Professor. The other Bass' eyes were already on her, gazing at her lustfully and it made her want to rush to the bathroom and throw up the food she had just eaten. She hadn't felt that way for a while and cursed him for making her wish to be so weak. He gave her a subtle wink as he turned to engage Professor Snape in conversation. Blair shivered involuntarily before she summoned her new minions and made her way out of the Great Hall, Draco Malfoy watching her every step of the way.
Better watch your back B as someone clearly has their eye on you. I guess it's true when they say the past always comes back to haunt us. But what's even worse is when someone stumbles upon a secret that should be buried – and we all know that some things are bound to resurface at one point or another…
"So, this is Potions?" Serena asked in a glum voice as she stood outside the classroom with Nate and the Golden trio.
"Yep, and the only thing worse than the class itself is the teacher" Ron said bluntly.
"What was that Weasel?" Malfoy taunted, "you do realise I am a Prefect and can dish out detention whenever I see fit" he added with his signature smirk.
"You can clean out the broom cupboard tonight with Filch. It should be easy, considering it's the same size as your pathetic excuse for a house" Malfoy quipped before making his way to the back of the classroom.
"And we have this class with the Slytherins?" Nate moaned, "I can see now why everyone hates it so much" he added until he suddenly spotted Dan and Vanessa wander into the classroom.
"Huh? Dan, V – what are you guys doing here?" Serena asked.
"It's nice to know you're so happy to see us" Dan replied sarcastically, earning him a playful punch in the arm from Serena.
"But seriously, we thought Ravenclaws were teamed up with Hufflepuffs" Nate said, confusion clear in his voice.
"They are, we just swung by to say 'hi' and see how you're getting on cause we've got frees now" Vanessa explained. She, Nate and Serena engaged in conversation which Hermione and Ron idly joined in, leaving Harry and Dan – 'just what I wanted' Harry thought sarcastically.
"Hey Harry" Dan said with a smile. "Did you know the Daily Prophet has a competition for people like us to become a short time journalist for them?" he asked.
"Erm…no. I didn't" was his reply as he shifted his feet uncomfortably.
"Well, I was thinking that I could about you trying to live normally at Hogwarts while being a celebrity. They seem to like writing about you and I thought it would give me a good chance of getting it" Dan asked him hopefully as Serena smiled Dan's awkwardness – he wouldn't be the Dan Humphrey she knew and loved without it.
"Well, there isn't really anything interesting here…" Harry started, but when he saw the disappointed look on Dan's face he quickly changed tactic. "Sure you can" he answered simply and gave a half smile when Dan beamed. He just didn't have the heart to disappoint anyone.
Suddenly the front door of the classroom banged open and Snape appeared in the doorway, just as the last few Slytherins – Blair and Chuck included arrived at the classroom. He took one look at Dan and Vanessa and his lip curled up in a cruel manner.
"I don't have Ravenclaw until third period, surely you have memorised your timetable. Or perhaps the Sorting Hat is losing its touch" Snape jeered. Dan and Vanessa, nodded mutely before turning on their heels and sped walked out of the Dungeons, trying to bump into people in their haste as Snape's cold eyes returned to his students.
"Under the Headmaster's orders I will be choosing pairs for the first term's Potions Project" Snape sneered. There was a collective moan from the Slytherins and Gryffindors at the prospect of being paired with their arch enemy.
"There will be none of that unless you want detention" Snape threatened with an evil smirk before he drew his wand and conjured a scroll of parchment out of thin air.
"When I call your names you'll sit down at the front row on the far side and work your way back" Snape called as he began to read the names off the list.
"Potter and Miss. Waldorf" he called and Harry looked gutted that he'd be in the front row, clearly that was Snape's plan. He swung his bag over his shoulder and moved towards the door, but not before Blair pushed past him, knocking his shoulder on the way in.
"Was that meant for me or you?" he whispered to Serena who shrugged in response.
"Ten points from Gryffindor Potter for taking your time. This class doesn't revolve around you, no matter how much of a celebrity you think you are" Snape said darkly, earning a glare from Harry as he smiled half-heartedly at Serena.
"Movie it Potter. We don't have all day" Snape snapped and Harry hurried quickly to his seat next to Blair whose books, parchment and quill were already out on the desk.
"Weasley and Miss. Parkinson" Snape called and Harry watched as Pansy's face contorted in disgust before she 'accidentally' stepped on Ron's foot as she made her way into the classroom.
"Mr. Bass and Miss Granger"
"Miss. Patil and Mr. Knott"
"Mr. Archibald and Miss. Greengrass"
As more pairs filed in, there were only a few left to be called including Serena who really hoped she would be spared by the wrath of Snape and paired with someone who wasn't a Slytherin… But that really was just wishful thinking.
"And finally, Mr. Malfoy and Miss. Van der Woodsen" Snape finished as the two pairs took their seats at the back of the class just as Vanessa turned around from the seat in front to give them sympathetic looks.
"Now, this term will be different to the others as it's half your grade for you N.E.. If you fail this year you'll be dropped next year. In your pairs you'll brew 5 potions and write an in depth analysis on each of them, to be at least ten pages long. First, I want you to chose your 5 potions and note them down for me. They are not to be changed once you chose them. Now get to work, I want this finished by Christmas break" Snape ordered and went to his desk to complete his next lesson plan.
Harry turned to Ron who was luckily sitting on the table next to him.
"Hey mate…" he began, just as Snape peered over his work.
"Weasley, Parkinson swap places" he commanded with a smirk before returning to his work. 'That prick' Harry fumed.
"Who knew that Potter could get so angry" Blair taunted from beside him so that he turned to face her, a little surprised.
"What do you mean?" he asked her. Blair just laughed at him quietly, but there was iciness to it and sent chills down his spine. That laugh let him know exactly what she thought of him and for some reason it bothered him, unlike any of Slytherin so he looked at her; really looked at her. She was arrogant, authoritative, cold, controlling… beautiful. 'Wait, back up a minute, Harry' his inner voice said. 'Beautiful - she's a Slytherin for crying out loud?'
Harry looked at her perfectly curled hair, manicured fingers and his eyes trailed down over her figure, unintentionally running his tongue over his lips.
'Yeah, really don't think she's beautiful do you?' he questioned himself as he silently watched her continue scribbling on her parchment with her delicate hands, wondering what it would feel like if those hands ran down his chest...
"Here's your copy of potions" Blair said, bringing him out of his reverie - thankfully, while using her wand to produce a copy of her list.
"Now, go and hand this in" she commanded as she opened her book to the potion labelled 'Elixir of Life'.
Thinking it better than to argue with her, Harry made his way over to the desk but not before checking what Potions she had in store for them:
Elixir of Life
Amortentia
Polyjuice Potion
Draught of the Living Death
Veritaserum
'Oh yeah, and I clearly forgot pretentious over-achiever in my list. Why'd she have to choose the hardest ones' Harry thought to himself as he handed in the list to Snape, who looked momentarily surprised at the list of Potions, before it reverted back to his signature stoney look.
'Maybe I'll get to spend more time with her though…wait what the hell! Pull it together' Harry thought as he made his way over to the desk, tripping on the chair leg as he went to sit back down. 'Yes! She didn't see' he smiled broadly as he sat back down, then proceeded to shake his head. 'What the hell am I thinking?'
"You know, you drew quite a lot of attention at our table yesterday" Draco drawled as he flipped through his potions book, looking for potential ideas for their project.
"How so?" Serena asked flippantly. Draco stared at her – was she really as oblivious as she looked; guess so.
"Haven't seen yourself in the mirror lately?" Draco asked with a smirk and Serena could feel heat rising to her cheeks so she turned away.
"You know, you might actually find a way to end the Slytherin Gryffindor rivalry" Draco smirked suggestively, making Nate accidentally snap his quill having overhead the Slytherin Prince hitting on his girl, or was it just a ploy to make her anxious? 'Better get in there quickly' he thought to himself, just in case it wasn't the latter.
"Well, not only that - but your little scene with Blair" Draco sneered. "I'd watch out if I were you because when it comes to getting revenge we have no moral compass, unlike you Gryffindorks" he added dangerously.
"Look Draco, let's just get on with this okay" Serena shifted uncomfortably in her chair and tucked one of her blonde tresses behind her ear. How Draco Malfoy enjoyed making people squirm, 'I love how much power I have over people' he thought happily.
"Fine" Draco replied as though nothing had happened, leaning back in his chair. "I'm thinking this one" he said, pointing to his Potions book. Serena leaned in closer to get a better look.
"Wolfsbane?" she asked, "well alright then" she added casually, and wrote it down to complete their list as her worry over Blair's threat increased slightly.
Hermione's hand flew across the parchment as she wrote down the five Potions she was sure would get her an 'Outstanding' in her N.E..
"Why have you written down Potions that require so much more work? Unlike you, I actually have a social life" Chuck drawled from beside her.
Hermione said nothing but flipped her page to their first potion 'The Draught of Peace'.
"I thought Gryffindors were supposed to defend themselves" Chuck jeered as he leaned back in his chair, casually, like a King looking down in his subjects. Hermione still said nothing, but continued to read through the ingredients and make notes. That is until Chuck slammed her book shut, barely missing the finger she had just removed to turn the page.
"No one ignores Chuck Bass, especially a filthy little mudblood" he hissed dangerously. "Do you actually think you're better than me?" he asked dangerously. Hermione shook her head vigorously as tears stung her eyes. "You're worthless" he spat as though she was nothing but dirt underneath his shoes. Hermione continued to look at the table, hands in lap, her lip quivering from unshed tears.
"Aren't you going to say something?" Chuck smirked.
"What am I supposed to say?" Hermione whispered as she faced him for the first time. Chuck could see the fresh tears in her eyes and watched as one escaped and slid down her rosy cheek just as the bell sounded for the end of class. Hermione quickly wiped her eyes on her robes and threw her things into her bag before she headed with their list to the front and fled the room, Harry and Ron following behind her. Blair led her minions out of the classroom, followed by Draco and his cronies. Soon it was just him and Serena left.
"That was uncalled for Chuck" Serena said, disappointed, as she stood beside him. The disappointment clearly showed all over her face too as she shook her head and made her way out of class. She stopped by the door and turned back to him.
"Don't turn into your father Chuck" she said, and Chuck could hear the strained plea in her tone. Before he could reply she left to go and comfort Hermione, leaving Chuck alone again as he had been practically his entire life.
Spotted: Chuck Bass, losing something we never thought he would – his pride.
"Hermione, Chuck is a prick. Don't let him get to you. You should listen to your friends when they say that you are the smartest witch in the school" Vanessa comforted as she squeezed Hermione's shoulder in support.
"I just don't know what I did to deserve it. I did nothing wrong" Hermione replied quietly as fresh tears formed in her eyes.
"Chuck is… well he's Chuck. He's not worth this Hermione. You can't let him get to you; if you do it'll destroy you. Trust me, I've seen it happen before" Dan said, squeezing her other shoulder, while looking over at his sister who threw her head back laughing uncontrollably with Ginny and Erik. 'At least she's happy now' he thought.
"Mione, remember when you punched Malfoy in the face in our third year after he spoke crap about you. Well just think that Bass will get his own too" Ron told her with a smile.
"Yeah…you're right" Hermione said, looking up to him after a moment's silence. "Thanks" she added with a small smile.
"It's been known to happen" Ron chided her. "Now, lets eat" he exclaimed while the others rolled their eyes – typical Ron always thinking about food, even while a certain girl sitting next to him was thinking about him.
"I've got a Quidditch lesson now girls" Blair said, as she stood up, commanding the attention of everyone at the Slytherin table. "Come on, let's go" she commanded, and she made her way out of the Great Hall with three of her closest minions following behind her. Jack Bass couldn't help but gaze lustily at Blair (like many men at the Slytherin table) as she walked in her 'Waldorf' tailored school uniform and Christian Lamboutin heels. Ever since he'd seen her at Bart Bass' gala over the summer and heard her quick way with words, saw her undeniable fashion sense and how she commanded the room with a cold air of authority he knew he wanted her in every way possible. In fact, he had been so close to satisfying himself had Chuck not walked in on them – the look on his nephew's face was priceless and Jack knew, in that moment, that Chuck had feeling for Blair. Jack Bass wanted the 'Bass Industries' to be handed over to him at Bart's retirement and he was a man who always got what he wanted, no matter what the cost. By taking Blair for himself, he would not only ruin his nephew but end up with the two things Chuck wanted and finally Jack Bass would be satisfied.
Careful Uncle Bass, you should remember that "the best laid plans go oft astray", especially when we play dirty and you'll have to suffer the consequences of your actions…
"Okay, Dumbledore has asked me to spend your afternoon frees teaching you Quidditch" Madam Hooch commented. "Now, you probably know about the sport already as there is an American team and according to your Headmistress, the school grounds were not big enough or appropriate to play" she added and made her way over to a battered brown trunk on the floor. She opened it and took out a large, red sphere-like ball.
"This is a quaffle and it's thrown between the Chasers and then into one of those three hoops at the end of the field" she explained, pointing to the goals at the far end of the Quidditch Pitch. "I want you to toss it around to each other and get a feel of it" she added before throwing the quaffle to Nate which he caught with ease. With that, the eight students rose into the air, to hover above the field.
At first they passed it to each other while stationary to get the hang of it before Blair took the initiative to fly with it. She flew with such grace and elegance that it came as a shock when she launched the ball at Serena, barely missing her face by inches as she struggled to catch it. Blair shot her the innocent, doe eyed look to avoid suspicion, but Serena knew better. Instead of stooping to Blair's level she threw the quaffle to Jenny, who took off towards the goal posts.
Chuck and Blair made a beeline for the posts, ready to stop Jenny.
"What is that?" Blair shouted, pointing over Jenny's head and when she turned, Blair swooped in and stole the quaffle from her before flying in the opposite direction.
Dan, wasn't exactly steady on the broom but when he saw Blair pull a fast one on Jenny he chased after her as she made her way to the goal posts. He made his way up beside her so they were neck and neck and as she was about to throw the quaffle into the goal, he lost balance on the broom and smashed into her, causing her to not only drop the quaffle but lose balance on her broom.
The others watched as Blair nearly fell off her broom and ended up dangling upside-down, unable to right herself. They snickered as they watched her struggle, before Madam Hooch flew up to right her again.
"Let's move onto the bludgers" she said as they all landed back on the ground. Blair's face was red, clearly from being upside down, but the 'Waldorf stare' she gave with it made Serena and everyone else want to crawl under a rock and hide there.
Madam Hooch introduced the bludgers as well as the role of the beaters and in an instant they were off, she held out two bats and before she could hand them to anyone Blair had stepped forward and asked to play 'beater'.
'Oh crap, I'm in for it now…" Serena thought, knowing full well that Blair would jump to conclusions and think that she and Dan had set her up for humiliation.
Erik and Jenny quickly passed the quaffle to each other as Blair eyes passed over them, like a hawk watching for its prey. Serena made sure to stay near Chuck and tail him, as there was no way Blair would send a bludger at her that way. 'Wait… why would she anyway, she wouldn't risk everything to get even with me – right?' Serena thought.
"I thought Gryffindors were supposed to be brave" came a very familiar voice from behind her. "Did you really think you could get away with that?" Blair seethed and Serena knew she was definitely in trouble now – the look of pure hatred on her face said it all.
"I'm bringing out the snitch, remember that only the seeker has to find it and catch it to win the game" Madam Hooch called and suddenly Blair saw a golden ball with wings fly into the air.
"Take this" she called over to Jenny, who took the bat which Blair handed to her when she gotten close enough and turned back to Serena.
"It's between you and me Serena" she said, "this way you can't take anything away from me anymore!" she said raising her voice a little,
"I will show everyone that I am better than you" she added, with a look of pure arrogance.
Blair immediately sped off to fetch the ball, pushing her broom to its limit as she sped to catch the winged ball, so close to the ground. Serena, out of daring, chased after Blair and hoping to end their rivalry by winning she came up closer to Blair and soon they were neck and neck. The others had stopped playing and stared as the two girls fought for power over the golden ball, and soon enough when they were mere inches from the ground and the speed of Serena's broom took her past Blair, Blair kicked out her leg ever so subtly, causing the broom to shift and Serena to fall off it, onto the ground – luckily for her it was mere inches away – while Blair caught the snitch with her delicate fingers.
"Miss. Van der Woodsen" Madam Hooch called over, "are you alright?" she asked.
"I'm fine" she replied through gritted teeth before she pushed herself up off the floor and stalked towards Blair.
"That was no accident!" Serena cried, accusing Blair.
"How do you mean Serena? You were going so fast, I guess you just lost your balance" Blair responded, innocently – but the others knew she definitely was not.
"Yes, Serena, sometimes these things do happen. Congratulations Blair on your skill in flying. It was most impressive" Madam Hooch said. "Now return to the castle, dinner will be shortly" she added.
Serena glared daggers at Blair who just smiled wickedly as she returned the snitch to the trunk.
"Look, Blair. I'll stop if you will. It's enough okay" Serena said, in a commanding tone.
"You're only saying that because you lost today and you are going to keep losing until I say it's enough" Blair responded icily before she made her way towards the changing rooms.
"Serena, it's okay" Jenny comforted.
"Yeah, eventually she'll get bored and move on" Vanessa added.
Dan and Nate watched as Serena's hands began to shake and she was overcome with anger. It came as a surprise to everyone, Chuck and Madam Hooch included, when she took off at a sprint towards Blair and threw herself at her, tackling her to the ground.
Blair fell flat onto her face and soon enough the two of them struggled for dominance as each kept pinning the other down and being thrown to the floor again.
"Girls, break it up" Madam Hooch called over, as she paced forward and tried to pull the girls off each other.
"Something this hot should be filmed" Chuck commented. Little did he know that Colin Creevey had been out for a stroll to take pictures of the grounds with his camera, when he found something much more interesting to photograph…
"Get off of me!" Blair screeched, her usually cool exterior crumbling as she struggled against Serena who pinned her arms above her head and straddled her.
"Have you had enough yet?" Serena screamed back, before she got off Blair and got ready to storm back to the castle.
"Ow, my back…" Blair said, bending over and holding her back, faking injury.
"Miss Van der Woodsen go and see the Headmaster immediately for your behaviour. Twenty points from Gryffindor – and you're lucky it's not fifty" Madam Hooch called angrily.
"I've never seen such wild behaviour" she commented under her breath. "Are you alright Miss Waldorf?" Madam Hooch asked, sympathetically as she helped Blair walk into the castle.
Serena turned to face at the others, all oh which had the same pitying look on their faces and with that she turned on her heel and stormed off to the castle to speak to McGonagall and Headmaster Dumbledore.
"Who won that one?" Erik asked the others.
"I dunno" Jenny replied.
"They're at a stand-still, the next fight will be the one to end it" Chuck replied casually before he followed after Blair and their professor.
"At least it'll be over soon then" Vanessa sighed, "I really get sick of Blair's games you know" she added.
"Yeah, that's why nothing ever happened between Blair and I - she liked to play games too much" Nate admitted as the five of them returned to the castle.
There's nothing Gossip Girl loves more than a power struggle! Did B really think that S would go down without a fight, and did S really make the mistake of underestimating B? And more importantly how will these two rivals work it out?
"McGonagall has decided to give me detention cleaning out different rooms every night this week" Serena told the Golden trio that night at dinner.
"I really dunno what came over you Serena, but I can't believe Blair faked injury – that is below the belt" Nate commented as he stabbed at his chicken with his fork.
"I wish I had been there to see the fight" Ron added with his mouth full.
"She kicked my broom, okay. I felt it" Serena stated, in an annoyed tone.
"There's no way for you to prove that" came the cold sneer of none other than Blair Waldorf behind her,
"Unlike the proof there is of you attacking me. Next time you should think before you act. Enjoy detention" she smirked before she and her minions made their way over the Slytherin table as Serena leant her head on the table and let out a sigh. Little did either of them know that the proof was in the upmost tower of the school, inside the Gryffindor fifth year boy's dormitory.
Colin Creevey didn't feel like going down to dinner, so instead he decided to develop the film of the pictures he'd taken from the new exchange student's Quidditch lesson which ended in a bang. He wondered whether it really was Serena just acting out, or if she was provoked? He'd seen her around school and at the Dining table a lot and she was always so nice and casual to everyone. So Colin was shocked to find that among his brilliant action shots of film was incriminating evidence, proving that Blair had endangered the life of a fellow student purposefully…
'Merlin's beard' he thought as he wondered decided that it would be best to show Serena the picture at the first chance he got. Maybe if she was in detention he'd catch her in the Common Room soon – the best thing to do would be to wait for her there, right?
Ah, Gossip Girl loves irony and judging by the new found evidence, Blair's hopes to go to the best Wizarding University could be washed down the drain. However, everyone knows that when a crime happens, not all evidence is accounted for because sometimes it can go missing… or something can happen to the person who has the incriminating proof. Better watch out little Creevey because if the Queen B finds out about this, she'll be coming after you and she's not one to play fair… You know you love me – XOXO, Gossip Girl.
