The Floo Powder Accident
Chapter 4
Katniss walked back into her house; previously in Haymitch's seeing if he was awake. "Peeta?" she yelled as she walked in.
"Yeah, Katniss?" Peeta said getting off the couch and walking over to Katniss.
"Just checking if you're still here, I honestly don't know how you're handling being with wizards, how do you keep your sanity?" she sighed.
"I just do, but Draco gets me angry a bit," he replied. "Are you hungry?"
"Not really, I've been thinking about the next games coming up. I feel miserable for the next kids being reaped and hopefully it won't be a wizard like one of them." she whispered.
"Yeah, I'm not hungry anymore too now." Peeta said pushing away a plate filled up with cheese buns.
The two of them walked into the living room, Draco making the rest of the Hogwart's students irritated. "So now that I know what the Hunger Games are, I hope you get reaped, Mudblood," Draco smirked.
"Oh yeah?" said Hermione who walked up to him once more and punched him. Draco fell against the wall and onto the floor. "I doubt you can fight like the muggles do," Hermione smirked now. Draco groaned.
"Okay, I think that's enough," said Peeta not wanting anyone to get too hurt as all the others were throwing pillows at each other and tripping. "How about we-" he began but Hermione cut him off.
"Do you have any books?" Hermione asked interested in muggle books as well.
"Yeah. They're all in the study. I can show you." Peeta says, Hermione follows him into the study and she squeals in excitement of all the books.
"I'm totally reading!" All of them heard from the living room.
"Okay," said Peeta walking out into the living room again. "What do you guys like doing?" Peeta asked. No one responded quickly but Draco.
"I like hexing Potter." Draco said with a bleeding nose from Hermione earlier. "Get me a cloth," he demanded.
"No," said Katniss coldly, "Say please at the least," she said now leaning against the wall.
"Fine, I'll get it myself, muggle," Draco sneered as he walked past Katniss, and grabbed a towel that was white instead and got it went.
"Not that towel," Peeta began but he already got blood on it, "Never mind," he said now annoyed.
"I'll do what I want, and my father will hear about this, Granger!" Draco yelled. There was no reply from Hermione but a page being flipped to the other side.
"Do you guys have any sweets?" Ron asked. "I really want something sweet, or salty."
"We don't have any," said Katniss, "We could walk you down to the sweet's shop though."
"Sure!" Ron exclaimed as everyone got up. "Hermione, we're going to the sweet's shop, come on if you want some!" Ron yelled.
"I'm alright," they heard Hermione squeal.
"Well, stay out of trouble." Peeta walked to Hermione.
"As if I cause trouble." Hermione laughed still not letting her eyes leave the pages of her book.
The rest of them walked out into the spring, the games were approaching. They walked down into the richer part of District 12. Draco kicked rocks on the way, Ron and Harry talked about what they hope to find, Luna just strolled behind in her daydream, Neville stumbled on the rocks that Draco kicked, and Ginny walked besides Harry.
Once they arrived to their destination, Harry and Ron ran around the small store looking at all kinds. They all grabbed bags and filled them up. Draco filled the most up with chocolate and gummies. Katniss and Peeta picked up some peppermints. Ginny searched the small decorated expansive candy as well as Luna. Neville just strolled around the store as he looked at all of the candy.
"Okay, do all of you have what you want?" Peeta asked. They all moaned at the thought of leaving but after the moan there was a mumble of yes' said. Peeta and Katniss pulled out some money and gave it to the cashier, the cashier didn't say anything. He just looked astonished at all of the bags of candy they were buying.
"I'm getting something for 'Mione," Ron said. "She will definitely want something! Even if she does read and eat it at the same time."
Once they finished buying it, Draco pushed his way up to Peeta to grab his bags of candy. "Are you sure you want all that?" Peeta asked as he grabbed more than five bags of candy.
"Who wouldn't want all this, muggle?" Draco smirked at the bags. He then ran out of the store and back to the house before they even walked out.
Harry, Ron, Ginny, Luna, and Neville talked on the way back about their candy while Katniss and Peeta didn't say anything to each other. They just thought of how bad the games will be, and who will be reaped, what if they're not home by then, they'll have to stay somewhere, not at Haymitch's supervision.
They got home just in time to see Draco have a sugar rush and jump on the couches.
"Please get off the couches!" Peeta yelled at Draco sincerely.
"Who said I couldn't have any fun!" Draco questioned Peeta.
"Us," said Katniss looking down at Draco who fell down and was now sitting on the couch.
"You guys are no fun, no wonder why my father says muggles are the worst people EVER!" Draco whines.
"Well too bad, you're stuck with us for right now," Katniss says with no expression written on her face.
Hermione came into the room, said hi again, and sat down on the opposite couch of Draco.
"I brought you some candy," Ron said handing her a bag, "Chocolate and some gummies, I didn't know which one you'd prefer."
"Thanks, Ron," Hermione said opening the bag but still reading, and not looking up. "She grabs a gummy and starts to chew on it. "These taste different," her eyes got a bit wide.
"Like a bad different?" Ron said getting nervous for no reason.
"Nope, they're better," Hermione smiled at her book.
"That's good then." Ron sighed.
Peeta and Katniss went upstairs to talk while the others played downstairs. "What will we do when we're at the reaping? We can't leave them." Katniss already said, her eyes tearing up a bit.
"Maybe we could… I think they're responsible enough, it'll be alright," said Peeta, wiping away Katniss' tears.
"Should we hide them? Or should we – how do we get them back, Peeta?" Katniss yelled almost.
"We'll find away, and the games are only for a couple of weeks, so we'll be back for them." Peeta calmed Katniss.
"Yeah, alright," Katniss croaked. Katniss went to the bathroom and washed the tears off, she didn't wear makeup. "Let's go back downstairs; we'll come up with a plan with them."
"Alright," said Peeta. The two of them walked down the stairs and into the living room where they found Hermione bleeding badly. Her nose was probably broken. "What happened?" Peeta demanded, not in the calming voice, but in a cold voice, he walked over to Hermione.
"Draco punched me really hard!" Hermione yelled, helping herself up off the ground. She walked over to Draco and punched him really hard.
"Merlin's BIG HEAD! That's twice in one day you, MUDBLOOD!" Draco yelled getting his wand out.
"Petrificus Totalus!" Hermione yelled before Draco could cast a spell. Draco fell frozen but his blood still oozed out. Katniss and Peeta looked shocked at Draco now.
"Hermione… What'd you do? Unfreeze him or whatever!" Peeta demands, still in a cold voice.
"One minute," Hermione said, "Episkey," Hermione said to her nose which now was fixed. She after says a counter-curse which makes Draco come back.
"YOU MUDBLOOD! My father will hear about this!" Draco yelled loudly at Hermione grabbing his wand again but instead of hexing her too he just said, "Episkey," to his nose which fixed it.
"I don't really care if your father hears about this," Hermione said in a bossy voice even though she wasn't even bossing him around.
"I think I'll take your wands away for the time…" Peeta said holding his hands out for their wands. All of them gasped and that made Katniss suppress a laugh even. They all handed their wands over though.
