Jayde's POV
I waited till I knew everyone was asleep, that's when I knew it was time. Pansy was going to have a little surprise when she woke up. I slowly tip-toed over to Pansy's bed, "Engorgio," I whispered taking my wand and pointing it toward her head. It slowly began to swell. I smiled, hope you like that Pansy, have fun. I got back into bed, and fell asleep easily.
Damon's POV
I awoke suddenly to the sound of tweeting birds. "Crap!" I screamed, "Alice, wake up, were late for practice!" She sat up in bed wide eyed,
"Ugh," she said pulling herself out of bed, and began to look for her uniform. I can't believe it, it's the first day of qidditch practice. I've been able to ride a broom since I was three. My older brother played, but stopped after he was injured. I'm a Beater, Alice is a Keeper. Neither of us made the team first try, second year we made it; Alice and I celebrated for days.
"Ready?" I asked Alice. She nodded, as we grabbed our brooms and left the dormitories.
Alice's POV
I can't believe Damon or I didn't wake up, I thought to myself as we ran onto the qidditch field. Simon, our captain, stood waiting for us. He looked up angrily,
"And where have you to been?" he said staring at me mostly. Simon seemed to fancy Damon, in fact, most boys fancied Damon. That's why I would be taking the heat for this.
"Schweped in," I quickly put my hand over my mouth. Crap, crap, crap! I though, I forgot to take my retainer out this morning. Damon quickly covered for me,
"We slept in, sorry." She said with a smile. He smiled back,
"I guess its ok, just this once." He turned and frowned at me, and began to give us instructions for practice. Zoe and Jayde walked outside, they usually watched us practice. Suddenly, Durmstrangs quitich team flew in. Apparently they thought they could practice. Not happening, I mounted my broom, and flew up to meet them, Damon was close behind.
"Hey," I said not sure how to approach the situation,
"Practicing," answered Viktor Krum,
"well," Damon started, "You have to book the field, in order to practice on the field," I knew an opportunity when I saw one, especially one that would help Zoe. I leaned over to Damon, and whispered my plan. She nodded, her evil smile plastered on her face.
"1, 2..." we counted together. On the count of three, we both flew to Viktor's side, and kicked him. He plummeted to the ground, it wasn't that bad of a fall; a twisted ankle was the worst. Both of us looked at Zoe, who apparently got the plan. She ran down the bleacher stairs, and was at Viktor's side, helping him up. In fact, the whole qudditch team was helping him to the infirmary. Damon and I gave each other high-fives. Simon shrugged and went on with what we were going to do in practice. The rest of practice was uneventful, I wouldn't dare talk though.
We were still able to get changed into our school uniforms, and make it to breakfast. When we got there a surprise waited for us. Pansy's head was HUGE! I looked over at Jayde, who was smiling devilishly,
"Jayde, Jayde, Jayde," I smiled. "What a wonderful twick." She laughed,
"She better think twice, before messing with Jayde Penelope Grayling Joyce Grasim Bucklebe!" I burst into a laughing fit, rolling on the ground, when Snape came over.
"And what do you find so funny Ms. Inheart?"
"Nothing, Profethesor." I said standing up,
"What is making your speech impaired Ms. Inheart?" he said in his slithery voice.
"You thee thir, I'm wearing my retainer. I forgot to take it out thith morning." He nodded,
"Try to take it out next time." He said flatly walking away. I shrugged and Jayde laughed.
"Where's Damon?" Jayde asked, eating a bit of her toast.
"We decthited that, one of uth thoud apologies to Viktor." I said sipping some tea. We both finished and left the great hall.
DADA, was my next class. That strange teacher, mad eye or something started to torture a spider-thing. Zoe leaned over,
"Thanks for your little stunt." She said smacking her gum.
"No prob," I said with my retainer voice. Zoe laughed.
"What are you laughing at Ms. Flaws?" with that mad-eye made the spider fly onto Zoe's face. Jayde, began to laugh like a manic.
"I love this man!" she whispered. Suddenly, mad-eye made the spider crawl on Draco's face. Jayde's tone dramatically changed, "Boooooooooooooo!" she said sticking her thumb down.
"What was that, Ms. Bucklebe?" the spider flew onto Jayde's face. She began to laugh like a manic,
"IT TICKLES!" she screamed, still laughing. After a while, mad-eye killed the spider. Jayde booed, because she had been mumbling that she wanted it for a pet, which I objected to; because I knew it would need good night hugs. The rest of the class was uneventful, except when I messed up a spell. Instead of saying Expecto Patronum, I said, Expulso; luckilyI only exploded a stack of books. Seriously, if you talk fast with a retainer in, you can think one thing, but something completely different.
Damon and Zoe had potions next, so Jayde and I walked to Herboligy.
"So, how's it going with Draco?" I asked,
"I haven't talked to him all day," she mumbled looking at her shoes. I sighed,
"What's up, with you, you seem out of it?" she stopped, and thought for a minute,
"You know our new professor, mad-eye moody?" I nodded, curious to see where this was going "My dad interviewed him awhile back for the prophet. He let me come to the interview, I've met him before…"
"Your point being?" I interrupted,
"Let's just say, I'm one of those people you just don't forget," we both laughed. "So, he should have remembered me."
"Jayde," I said grabbing her shoulders, "How long ago did you meet him?"
"Eight years ago." She answered,
"You were six; you probably look and sound a little different. He probably doesn't remember you." She shook her head,
"Whatever, you don't believe me." she said walking away from me. I rolled my eyes and fallowed her,
"Well, what's your theory?" she stopped again and looked at me, a serious expression on her face.
"It's not him. Whoever mad-eye is, is an imposter!" a couple people in the hall stared at us.
"Ok, it's a possibility." Jayde looked at me smiling.
"Ok, tonight, we break into his office." I shrugged,
"Sounds good."
We walked toward the Herbology department, everyone in our class, including Professor Sprout were standing outside.
"What's going on?" asked a tall Hufflepuff girl.
"Well," Professor Sprout started, "There was a little incident in the green house."
"What type of incident?" I asked,
"The Fanged Geranium has gotten lose, and it's quite dangerous for us to be in there. You can all go do something productive, class is dismissed." Jayde and I exchanged happy glances (neither of us like this class. We began to walk away when Professor Sprout called me over. Jayde waved and walked away.
"Yes?" I asked,
"Last year we discussed you having a tutor, because of you not succeeding in this class." I couldn't help it, but I laughed; probably making Professor Sprout hate me more. She gave me a cold stare then continued. She pointed behind her, "This is Neville Longbottom, your tutor." He waved awkwardly, I smiled back. "Neville," she said to him, "Try to help." She walked away.
"Hey," I said trying to seem friendly. He averted his eyes. I looked from his robe to mine. "Oh," I said grinding my teeth. "It's my uniform!" I huffed, sitting down on the grass. He stuttered,
"O-h-h, it's not that…" I cut him off,
"Yes it is! Just because I'm a Sylytherin doesn't mean I'm a mean jerk. What would you say if I said you must be a saint, and have a heart of gold?" He looked at me, surprised from my outburst.
"S-s-sorry," he stuttered,
"You better be," I muttered playing with the grass. I stood up, brushed myself off, and stuck my hand out, "I'm Alice Inheart, and your Neville Longbottom." He shook my hand, speechless. "Now that I got my little break down over with, could you say something?" he nodded, and gulped,
"I've never meet a nice Syltherin." He tried to smile,
"Well, for starters, were not nice, we've got attitude." We both laughed.
"How about we head to the library, to study a little?" I tilted my head,
"Sure," we began to walk toward the school, I didn't know why; but i had a weird feeling in my stomach.
Jayde's POV
I sat in the common room, playing with my pet snake Nagini. I came here, because I had nowhere else to go. I was also hopping to see Draco, he usually ditched class and came here sometimes. I looked up, as the door opened. I laughed, it was Pansy, her head still huge.
"Bucklebe," she spat, a look of pure disgust on her face. I ignored her, and picked up a book that was lying on a table next to my chair. "I know it was you, it had to be you. You can bet that I'll have my revenge!" she scowled. She began to walk up to the dormitories,
"Whatever pug face…" I said loud enough for her to hear, she turned around and started toward me. I quickly whipped out my wand and said,"Bat-Bogey!" I screamed. Pansy suddenly stopped, her bogeys grotesquely enlarged, grew wings, and started attacking her. She began to scream, and run around in circles, and eventually out of the common room. I fell on the floor laughing and began to roll around, I didn't know it would be this much fun to bother her.
Alice's POV
Neville and I sat in the library; I bit the end of my quill. Trying to understand Herboligy, was in fact, quite hard.
"So, you know what a Mandrake is?" he asked. I flipped through some pages in the textbook I was reading,
"Uh..." I flipped through some more pages, "A nasty thing that screams like hell?" He shook his head yes.
"Good job!" he smiled, "I really think your starting to get it!"
"Only, all the other plants in the universe..." I mumbled reading some blurb on Bubotuber.
A few awkward seconds later,
"So, what's it like being a Gryffendork?"I asked.
"Well, for starters it's Gryffendor not Gryffendork," I smiled, he continued. "We have high-expectations on our heads. We have to be perfect, good, and pure. In all honesty being a Gryffendor is hard." He looked at me. "So, what's it like being a Slytherin?" I smiled,
"Being a Slytherin is actually kind of fun. People are scared of us, they think we'll like kill them, or something. In reality, most of us probably would be fine in Gryffendor." He looked confused. I looked at my watch, "Oh, we better get going, I have divination next." I stood up,
"Me to," Neville said, "How about we walk together?" he added shyly. I shrugged, at least I would have company.
Damon's POV
Jayde and I were walking to divination class when we noticed, Harry Potter, and his two friends. Hermione was actually, a really good friend of mine.
"Hey Mione," I said, as we neared them.
"Oh hello Damon," Hermione said casually. Her two friends stared with surprised faces. Jayde walked up and stood behind me. Since she was so skinny, you couldn't see her behind me. She began to do the wave with her arms, so it looked like I had four arms. "Uh…" Hermione said, pointing behind me.
"I am the god of freakishly large fluffy clouds!" she said in her creepy voice. Everyone stared at her.
"Hey, I'm Jayde." She said sticking her hand toward each one of them. Just as she was shaking hands with Harry, Draco entered the hallway.
Jayde's POV
Nothing will ever compare to the look on Draco's face, hurt, agony, and betrayal.
"What are you doing, shaking hands with him?" he said making his hands into fists. I began to talk,
"we might not be a completely free country, but I think I have the right to talk to who I want!"
"So you want to talk to a mud-blood, a Wesley, and the so called "chosen" one?" now I was mad,
"Well excuse me, but I'd rather talk to them then Pansy!" he scowled and took out his wand. I reacted quickly,"Reducto!" a flash of light came out of my wand, and hit one of the chandeliers in the hallway. It came crashing down a few feet away from Draco. While he was distracted I yelled "Expelliarmus!" another flash of light came out of my wand.
"Flagrate!" Draco called. He swiped his wand, and long, jagged burns appeared on my arms. I fell to the ground and hugged my arm. How could he? I thought as, Damon flew to my side. That's the last thing I remember before I blacked out from the pain.
Zoe's POV
Alice and I, were in divination class when we heard the news. Professor McGonagall, walked in, everyone's attention turned to her.
"I need Zoe Flaws, and Alice Inheart." I looked at Alice, and we booth stood up, and fallowed her out of the room.
