CHAPTER 4- Way to go
Soon enough it was only Harrison, a few others and I left in the common room. Harri and I where playing wizards chess while shouting and laughing loudly, like nothing had happened the past few weeks.
"CHEAT!" He shouted.
"NO WAY? I did not cheat!" Sam walked through the door, soaking wet from the pouring rain outside.
"Where you been, Sammy boy?" I asked curiously.
"Nowhere." He replied with a smirk.
"You where with a girl, weren't you?" Harrison said. "Don't deny it."
"Yeah, so I was." He replied still with a massive grin on his face.
"Who is she?" Harri quickly asked.
"A girl, just a girl."
"Right..." They carried on talking but I was oblivious to everyone around me, all I could think about was when Alice and I first kissed. There was a big part of me missing now and hearing them talk about girls didn't help at all.
"Hugo?" I came round to my senses and realised someone was calling my name.
"Pardon?" I asked.
"Where you even listening to anything we said?"
"No."
"San was just saying he's sorry."
"Oh right."
"I am real sorry Hugo, Harrison made me do it." He smirked.
"Blame it all on me why don't you?" Harrison laughed.
"It's cool don't worry." I told them, while they both nodded their heads.
"Oh and I'm also sorry I couldn't go out with you and the boys that night." Sam said. There was an awkward silence, all I could hear was the rain falling onto the windows.
"Don't worry about it. I'm gonna go to bed. Night."
"Night Huggle." I walked up the stone cold stairs and the door to the 7th year boys dorm, It was welcoming seeing it again. Sam and Harri's trunks where at the end of their beds, as was mine, I walked over to it, carefully trying not to wake Jeff or Demy/Demetrius, and clicked it open. It was like a place of the unknown, a jumbled mess, everything looked as though it had just been thrown into the suitcase, which it had, But what do you expect from a 17 year old boy? I scrambled through the mess and quickly found what I was looking for. I don't know what I though was going to happen when I got back to Hogwarts, maybe I thought she'd want to get back with me and we'd live happily ever after, but whatever I thought it wasn't going to happen, so there was no point in hoping for hopeless things. The ring was gold 24 carat. It took a lot of money, but with working at zonkos I managed to save up. I twisted it around my finger, looking down at the writing carved into it, 'You are my one and only.' I stood up and walked over to the window, wondering if I should do it or not, opened it, threw the ring outside and quickly turned away so I couldn't see where it landed, as a tear fell down my face and I went over to my bed and collapsed on it falling into the darkness of sleep.
"So then I said, "What the hell is a Hufflepuff?" Everyone laughed, as Sam told his story about an argument with a Hufflepuff. I smirked, remembering it clearly. We where in our 5th year and this boy walked over and started talking to... Alice. See everything in my life use to revolve around her... Now it doesn't. I can't cope, every time I see her I want to hug her because shes crying.
"7th years enter." It was professor Glipped, he teaches us Potions and is a right bastard, he hates me especially, don't ask why I don't know why. Anyway so we all walked in and I sat in my normal place, that's when she sat next to me in her normal place. I tried to avoid eye contact but Alice alway did have beautiful eyes, a tear came into her eye and she quickly looked away. Glipped droned on with the lesson luckily quickly getting to the making potions bit, this time we where making a sadness potion, which would obviously make you sad in an instant. Obviously I had to work with Alice and it was hard work, and we both made sure we only used short sentences like "Pass the tear drops." And things like that. But then I asked for the book pages and she passed them to me and accidentally put my hand on hers. I looked into her eyes and this time we made eye contact. Maybe I had been right, maybe it could work for us. But then a tear dropped down her face and she picked up her bags and ran out of the class. I leant against the desk with my head in my hands, I heard Harrison walk over.
"What happened?" He asked.
"I... We looked at each other and she burst out crying and walked off." I replied still not looking up.
"It will be okay, Lily's gone to look for her." He told me.
"Weasley, Longbottom don't socialise in class, don't want Gryffindor losing more points do you?"
"No sir." Harrison walked off. Glipped didn't even seem to care that Alice had walked out, and that's why I stormed out after her. All I could hear was his shouting and threat to give me 5 months detention, but I carried on having no Idea where I was going and some how made my way to an empty classroom. I walked in and threw my bag down, kicked a wall and sat on a desk with my head in my hands. The door clicked open and there where footsteps. I wish people would just leave me alone, but I didn't expect this. They pinned me against the wall and pointed their wand at my neck. I looked into their almost grey eyes, and frowned at their evil grin.
"What do you want?" I grunted.
"To kill you, simple as." The guy replied with a smirk. I'd never seen this guy in my life ever before, why would he want to kill me?
"Oh seems like a fun task, I might have enjoyed doing that."
"Don't start fooling around with me boy."
"Really? Because you can't joke around. Pity."
"You'll regret you ever said tha-"
"Oh will I, or will you." I kicked him, forcing him backward, he didn't fall over but it gave me time to get out my wand.
"CRUCIO!" He shouted. Luckily it narrowly missed. Wow I was hardly any match for this guy.
"STUPIFY!" I shouted, hoping that it didn't miss and it didn't it hit him, making him crash into the wall. He was defiantly knocked out now. I pointed my wand at him, wanting to at least kill him for even daring of thinking of killing me. I wanted to make him suffer and-
"HUGO?" It was Professor Longbottom.
"Erm..." I quickly turned around.
"What is going on here?" He asked.
"This guy... He threatened to kill me." He looked as shocked as anything.
"Can you run and get Professor Moonglint Hugo... Quickly!" I stood there still frozen from shock of this attack. "Hugo go!" I quickly came back to my sense and ran off towards the headmasters office.
Everyone was gathered in the hall, I was sat on the side on a bench. That's where Professor Longbottom had told me to stay, I looked over at Harrison and Sam and they had questioning looks on my face, I shrugged. I looked for Alice but couldn't find her in the crowd. What if they where after her to? What if they'd got to her? I quickly jumped up, pushing people out of the way, calling her name making it to the entrance doors to the great hall, where all the teachers where stood, I pushed past them, running still calling her name. I ran up the steps and around everywhere, I finally came to a classroom where I heard sobs. Alice. I pushed the door open slowly and walked in standing still as I looked down at her crying. I gulped, as she looked up.
"Hugo?" That was Professor Goodchilds voice, he was one of the nicest teachers apart from professor Longbottom, but it would have been awkward for him to turn up. Goodchild had brown spiky hair and he was tall and slim, he had blue eyes and glasses. He walked in.
"Hugo, there you ar-" he saw Alice, "Do you want me to leave a minute or?"
"No, I'm leaving." I set for the door, no one called me back so I carried on walking until I got to the great hall. I was angry, most probably at myself, I didn't care who stopped me, I just carried on until I got back to the bench and sat down. Moonglint made his way to the front, speaking up.
"Good afternoon, teachers and students. Now I'm sorry you have been pulled out of your classes but we have to talk to you all. Some how today a man entered into Hogwarts when he wasn't meant to. If anyone knows anything about this please. These men are dangerous and could lead to trouble, I don't want to worry anyone but these men are... Death Eaters." I nearly chocked, he didn't just say that. No way could they be back. No way. And why me? Why not anyone else? They didn't go after Lily. Moonglint looked over at my confused face as if to say something.
"We want you all to be careful, but especially some of you, they might want something that you have." I'm guessing that was directed at me. "Or they may just want you dead." Oh yeah that was really comforting. "Anyway everyone get back to classes." I stood up walking over to Harrison and Sam, starting from when I heard the door click open.
"Oi! Weasley!" It was that Slytherin boy that had annoyed me on the train again. His name was Clyde Macbeth and he was one of the enemy's I had at school. My worst in fact.
"What?" I asked.
"Is it true-"
"Can you stop with all the questions please, your not that smart I know but you have to understand that some questions are better left not answered."
"You bastard."
"What you gonna do about it?" He went for a punch, but I really couldn't be bothered for a fight so I dodged it.
"Control your anger." I told him.
"Before you tell me to control my feelings maybe you should sort out yours." I punched him, hitting him to the floor.
"HUGO! CLYDE!" It was Professor Longbottom. I pushed Clyde across the room, dodging his two friends and running down the stairs ignoring the calls after me. That's when in the distance I heard a more familiar voice, it turns out he'd been visiting Professor Longbottom.
"HUGO GEORGE WEASLEY GET HERE NOW!" I stopped in my tracks, turning back up the stairs and ascending up them again, slowly making my way to my dad.
"Your coming with me." He pushed me forwards and guided me towards an empty classroom. His face was red with anger and he looked like he was about to burst.
"Hugo." He was nearly ripping his hair out of his head. "Your the most impossible child ever! Why do you do it?"
"He was annoying me! What was I suppose to do? Ignore him?"
"Yes! You need to grow up, in the real world when you get angry you can't just punch someone!" he sighed, I didn't answer. "Just go. Leave. Come back when you are more mature!" He pointed at the door, I didn't want to disagree so I just walked out the door, pushing people out of the way to get to the Gryffindor common room.
"Hugo, did you hear that your sister and Scorp split up." Sam told me. I nodded.
"Shes moving to Hawaii, so she doesn't have to see him again."
"Poor Rose." Harri said.
"Well I suppose it weren't meant to be." I said.
"True."
"Harrison." It was Alice. "Can I talk to you for a second please." She was avoiding making eye contact still. It had been a few months since the mistake I made.
"Yeah sure. Be back guys." Harri told us, following Alice.
"Sam, I didn't leave this spot yeah."
"Your gonna eavesdrop?"
"Yeah, I need to find out if she talking about me."
"What you still like her?"
"Course, I always have."
"Well, the other day... She asked me out, but I said no and told her I couldn't because you still liked her. She seemed pretty shocked, maybe even pleased."
"Really?"
"Yeah."
"Wait she asked you out?"
"Yeah."
"Oh." Harrison walked back over, with a frown on his face.
"What?" Sam asked.
"You wouldn't believe what she's done! She told me so I wouldn't find out from other people, shes gone and decided to go out with a Slytherin and not just any Slytherin, Clyde Macbeth!"
"WHAT?" I shouted. "I'm gonna kill him!"
"But... She knows we hate him!" Sam said.
"Exacty! Why would she do that?" Harrison asked.
"I don't know." I replied.
Them next 3 months sucked, I got into too many fights with Clyde and his crew, so did Sam and Harri. We got too many detentions, but something that did brighten all of our life's, was that we heard that Dom and Scorp where finally together and not only that.
"Dom and Scorp, who would have know." Sam said.
"Well, I'm guessing we all took it as a joke, but now it's not." I replied.
"Yep and not only that but Dom's pregnant! Why did no one tell use they'd been going out for 2 months before hand?" Harri said.
"They better have a boy, then they can call it Hugo." I smirked.
"Hugo she only found out she was pregnant last week name choosing is a long time off, but they'd choose Harrison." He replied.
"No way! It would be Sam." We all laughed.
"Okay I'll give you the middle names, it can be Hugo Harrison Sam Malfoy, happy?"
"No how come your name gets to be first it should be Sam first!"
"No it should be Harrison, obviously!"
We wrote this all down in the letter we wrote to her and I'm sure she had a right laughed as did we, but as half-term drew closer I got angrier about Clyde and Alice who where still dating. Everywhere I turned they where standing there. Together.
One time I was walking back from my daily press ups I do in the grounds, when I walked towards them as I walked past Alice started snogging Clyde. I don't know why I did it but I did, I pushed him away.
"HUGO!" Alice shouted.
"Sorry, I don't know what-"
"Stupid!" I didn't stick around to hear the rest of Clyde's sentence, I just wanted to run. I wish I'd never cheated on her, never been so stupid. But they say without mistakes the universe wouldn't have been created. I ran, ran as far as I could, wanting to get away from everyone, to just have a break.
Luckily it was the start of half-term tomorrow, I was going home.
Harrison, Sam and I where packing for going home on the last friday at school. My owl, flew through the window dropping a letter on my bed. I picked it up.
"Its from my parents." I threw it back on my bed, continuing to pack up my stuff. Harrison picked it up, and tore it open.
"Dear Hugo,
Your Father and I are going away to your sisters in Hawaii for this half-term. Enjoy yourself.
-Mum xx" He read out.
"House party at mine, tell everyone. Tell them on Wednesday next week." I told them both.
"Sure, can't wait. We'll tell everyone!" Sam said.
So maybe the term hadn't ended that bad. But I should maybe think about thinking to soon.
