Chapter 4

"Nikki! You have to get up! We have to get going to our double potions class. You don't want to have to deal with Snape giving you a detention." Hermione said shaking me away. I waved at her to go away. I didn't want to have to get up yet. I had a hard day yesterday, and I barely finished my charms essay before it was two in the morning.

"Cover for me! Tell him that I don't feel well..." I covered my head with my blankets. Then Hermione stopped shaking me. I let out a happy sigh. I was happy that she stopped trying to wake me up. Maybe I could go back to sleep now and waste my whole time up here. That would be so relaxing.

"Don't make me go get the Twins." She said.

I jumped up out of my bed and started shaking my hands in front of me. "No need to do something so rash Hermione. I'm up! Don't worry about it. I'm ready to go! Let's get to breakfast." I grabbed my bag and threw my books in it with some of my writing utensils. I quickly got dressed and brushed my untamable hair.

Hermione was sitting there laughing at me. I rolled my eyes at her. "If I knew all I had to do is threaten to go get the Twins to wake you up. I would have done that sooner. It would have saved us some time."

We walked out of our dorm room and headed to the Common Room. When we got down there, I noticed that the Twins weren't there. They probably headed down with Lee. Well, the less that I had to see Fred and George the better for me.

Ron and Harry were standing patiently in front of the Common Room door. They probably were waiting for us to get down there. Harry started laughing and so did Ron. They both were looking at me before they started laughing. A hand went up to my hair figuring that I had tranfigured my look with out realizing it again.

"Hermione, is there something wrong with me?" I asked her. I knew that she wouldn't lie to me unlike the two morons standing in front of me. It was pretty bad when I trusted her over my own blood.

Hermione looked at me. Her eyes opened wide in shock. Then she stiffled a giggle. "Umm, you might want to know that you have red hair and brown eyes." Why was that so funny? I really couldn't find a reason for the both of them to be laughing at me for my accidental transfiguration.

I put my hands on my hip, "And how is that so freaking funny?" Ron and Harry looked at each other and started laughing even harder. I swear that if it wasn't illegal to kill those two, they would have been dead about a couple minutes ago.

When Ron and Harry finally calmed down, Harry smiled, "Well you kind of look like a mix between yourself and George..." My mouth dropped open. There was no way that I partially looked like him. That was impossible.

I stormed out of the Common Room not wanting to deal with Harry, Ron, and Hermione. The only thing is I knew that they had followed me out of the Common Room because they were probably afraid that I was going to go prank an older Slytherin. As tempting as that thought was, I just couldn't. I didn't have the time to deal with all of this. I had other things to worry about like my grades.

Just like I stormed out of the Common Room, I had stormed into the Great Hall ticked off still. I hadn't changed my appearance back to what I really looked like. It really didn't bother me that I had red hair and brown eyes. I promise you that. It just ticked me off that Harry had said that I looked like a mix of myself and George. I think I had a reason to be mad in the first place at Harry.

I sat down next to the Twins. Harry and Ron sat down in front of me and Hermione sat next to me. The Twins noticed that something was up. So they both looked at me. Fred started laughing at me. I glared at him for laughing at me. Like I said, it wouldn't have bothered me if Harry hadn't said anything, but I guess it was better him then having somebody else say it and have me hex the crap out of them.

I looked at George to see his mouth hanging wide open in shock. I rolled my eyes at him and put some food on my plate so I wouldn't end up starving til it was time for lunch.

"So if you don't mind me asking so terribly much... Nikki, why is your hair red and eyes brown?" Fred asked trying to keep a straight face. It was terribly hard for him to do. What I want to really know is why was he asking me this. He leaned in close to whisper in my ear, "Is it because you like George?"

I choked on the piece of toast that I had been in the process of eating. "W-what do you mean?" I could feel my face start to heat up. Everybody, who know's me, gave me a knowing smile. It was kind of creepy for me. I didn't understand why though. "Can you guys stop giving me that smile! It's kind of freaking the crap out of me!"

Lee and Fred both started laughing at each other. I smiled evilly and stood up with my bag. "You know what... I think I'm just going to go to class." I picked up a bowl of cereal and dumped it on Fred's head. I walked away from them. I could hear there laughter. That was when I also decided that it wasn't enough to do to him. I turned as a couple feet away from them.

I pointed my wand at Fred's hair and turned it green and silver. Everybody's mouth dropped open, but then they all started laughing. Ahhh, mission complete. Now he will know never to mess with me and try to embarrass me with false information.

Then somebody from the Slytherin table shouted, "Hey! We don't want a blood traitor supporting Slytherin!" Then the whole Great Hall started laughing at Fred. That was more then I was expecting from anybody. I grinned as I headed to my potion's class.

"Nikki! That was awesome!" Ron yelled in my ear. I looked up at him and grinned. I shrugged to him, to tell him that it didn't matter.

Hermione huffed and tried to put a scowl on her face, but it didn't work out so much because she started grinning at me also. "Remind me to never get on your bad side, unless it has to do with waking you up for classes." I rolled my eyes. I would never prank Hermione. She was the only one that I had to do homework with because we all know that my brother and Ron don't like doing their homework.

I sat down at a desk and Ron and Hermione went to go sit next to each other. I wonder when those two will finally figure out that they have feelings for each other. I mean I understand Ron being oblivious to it, but Hermione? Come on, she's one of the top witches in our year. She should have had this figured out during the second year when Malfoy decided to call her a mudblood.

I sighed. I pulled out my parchment, my pen (never like using quills during class), and my potions book. Today was going to be a long class. I just hope that I don't have to worry about Slytherin's talking to me about Draco.. I was willing to put what happened behind me, but I swear to Merlin if he tries what he did again, he won't be having any children at all.

I started doodling little hearts on the corner of my paper, waiting for Snape to come into the room. To tell you the truth, I may dislike Proffessor Snape, but he was my favorite teacher. I was the best in the class. Nobody could out due me in this class. Snape, during class, doesn't treat me like much like a Gryffindor, but that's because he know's that I'm better then the kids from his House.

"Potter.." a cold male voice drawled. I rolled my eyes, knowing exactly who the boy was standing next to me. I turned and looked at him. I raised an eyebrow at him. "Can I be your partner today?" My mouth dropped open. Did he remember anything from what I told him yesterday? Or did he knew that I had forgiven him to a point?

I shrugged, turned back to my parchment, and started doodling again. I jumped when I heard the door slam shut. My gaze caught that Proffessor Snape had walked in and it was time to start taking class. I sighed at least I wouldn't have to sit here in awkward silence.

"We will be discussing some of the ingredients and how to do your next potion." Snape snapped at everyone in the room. I had to stiffle a giggle because everytime he did this I found it really funny. Then I would feel bad because I knew it was because of my dad and godfather that he was like this... Oh and the fact that he became a Death Eater, and my mom stopped being his friend in the fifth year.

I felt somebody pushing a piece of paper towards me. I tried to ignore it, but the person didn't get the hint that I really don't want to talk right now. Malfoy kept pushing the paper towards me. I sighed and grabbed it.

How mad are you at me? Draco wrote on the piece of paper. I was still suprised that he had such nice handwriting for a boy.

I couldn't help but smile lightly as I wrote, Hmmm depends on how sorry you are. I slipped the piece of paper to him under our table. He opened it and started writing on the piece of parchment so furiously. I had a feeling that I was going to be reading a story.

He put it on top of my potions book. He didn't fold it up at all, so if anybody wanted to read what we were writing just could look over my shoulder. I rolled my eyes at how stupid he was being.

It read, I'm really sorry. Its just that I had gotten jealous that Weasel got to kiss you and he doesn't even fancy you... I really like you. My mouth dropped open. Draco Malfoy, fancied me. How funny was that? I guess everyone was right.

Sorry Draco. I don't exactly feel the same way about you. Your like my best friend. I just can't like you like that... I'm sorry. I passed the note to him. He read it and I could feel him start getting mad at me.

He threw his hands up in the air. I have never seen Draco this ticked off at anything. Draco put the piece of paper on fire so their wasn't any evidence that we had been passing a note. I sighed in relief at least he wasn't going to use it as blackmail against me.

"IS THAT BECAUSE YOU HAVE FEELINGS FOR THAT BLOOD TRAITOR!" Draco shouted at me. His face was flushing with anger. It kind of freaking me out. I sort of expected him to drop everything after he burned up the note. Guess I was wrong once again.

Snape turned around and looked quiet amused at us. Everyone in the room turned and looked at us. Harry, Ron, and Hermione all looked concerned at me. Harry and Ron it almost looked like as if they were trying to decide if the detention for hitting Malfoy in the face was worth it. I put my hand on his arm, "Malfoy, shut up... We can talk about this later."

"NO! WHY NOT TALK ABOUT IT NOW? YOU MUST HAVE FEELINGS FOR HIM BECAUSE YOU LOOK EXACTLY LIKE HIM! ITS SO DISGUSTING!" He yelled at me. Tears started falling down my face involuntarily. I couldn't believe that he was yelling at me for something so stupid. Plus it wasn't any of his business about who I fancied or not.

"Mr. Malfoy? Is there a problem?" Professor Snape asked the stupid blonde hair boy that was sitting right next to me.

Malfoy turned to face the head of his House. He smirked, "Nothing, besides that your best student has fallen for a Weasley. Those stupid blood traitors." I gasped. He just didn't do that to me. All the students started muttering to each other and then they would look back at me. I felt my face turn red. I couldn't believe the mess that I am in now.

Proffessor Snape turned his gaze to me. It seemed that he was waiting for me to snap. Oh boy he didn't have to wait all. I got up and pointed my wand at his hair and face. His hair turned Gryffindor colors and his eyes turned a very pretty shade of pink. If I wasn't so upset, I would have probably been laughing so hard that I would be in the Hospital Wing.

I turned to see Snape's reaction, but he looked some what angry, but he didn't say that I had a detention. I stormed out of the room and ran right in to the Twins. What the hell were they doing down in the dungeons? They didn't have any classes down here til tomorrow. Fred and George was smiling from ear to ear.

I threw my hands up in the air, angrily. I stormed to the Common Room leaving my bag behind with the rest of my books. This was going to be a long long day for me. It wasn't even nine yet and I already got into a fight that could give me a detention.

I heard a couple of footsteps following behind me. I figured that it was the Twins. I wasn't about to blow up on them, because they didn't do anything to me. Oh wait I lied. I could totally take this out on Fred.

The tears that had been falling during class while Malfoy yelled at me were still falling down my face as I walked into the Common Room. I plopped my self down on the couch in front of the fire. I couldn't understand why I felt so embarrassed and why I was still crying over something so stupid.

George sat down beside me and put his arm around me and hugged me. Fred sat there looking shocked at me. Fred opened his mouth to say something, but he just closed as quickly as he opened it. I was somewhat glad that they haven't asked me what happened, but I knew it was going to last very long.
