Okay, I got my three reviews-thank you MissBubblyJayy, BroklieManda and Lone Dark Wolf-so here is chapter 4. It's very short but I felt it was kind of necessary. Tell me if you think the same. Anyways, enjoy!
Chapter 4:
Suspicions, Detentions and Forgiveness
I walked up to the Defense against the Dark Arts classroom. I had just finished dinner and was making my way to detention. I didn't know where Cedric was. He was probably wasting all the time he could or decided not to come at all. I was personally hoping for the second. Because, for one; he would get in more trouble and I would take pleasure in that. For two; I don't think I could handle him for one more minute! He wouldn't leave me alone! He kept finding me and apologizing. It was annoying. I walked into the classroom. The office door at the back of the class was open. I took a deep breath before walking to the office. I stopped at the doorway. He seemed to be brewing something. A potion maybe? I thought this was suspicious. I knocked on the open door. Mad Eye jumped and turned to face me, wand drawn and pointed directly at my chest. This made me jump.
"Miss-" his voice sounded different, like slime kind of. He must have noticed it to because he cleared his throat. "Miss Baker," that's better…I think. "I was just in the middle of something." He went on.
"What?" I asked. Oh, Chloe you weren't supposed to ask. You were just supposed to nod! You idiot.
"I was just…helping Professor Snape with his potions class."
"What year?" Shut up, shut up, shut up! Stupid head.
"Uh…first years," I nodded. Oh yeah, now you nod! Sheesh, he told me to sit in one of the two seats in front of the desk and to start writing a one page essay on Demontors. I noticed he didn't ask about Cedric. Oh well, maybe Cedric asked if he could do his detention on another day. That wouldn't bother me actually.
There was a light tapping on the door.
Or not, what is it with this guy and always bursting my bubble? First the train now this! Is it ever going to stop? Moody pointed to the empty chair beside me. Cedric sat down and I did my best to focus on my essay. I was surprised that he didn't try whispering or writing notes to me during the whole detention. Probably because he didn't want to get in trouble and was going to corner me in the common room or once we were outside the classroom. On that note, I hurried up and finished my essay. I handed it to Moody and ran out of there. I was running down the stairs, careful not to trip over my own feet and tumbling the rest of the way.
"Chloe, wait up!" What?! He was done to? What is the world coming to?! I slowed down to a complete stop and turned to face him. He was running to catch up with me.
"If you want to apologize again, I really don't want to hear it. You're sorry, I get it." I said. "It wasn't your fault; I was just mad and felt the need to blame someone." I continued. He was in front of me now.
"So, does that mean I'm forgiven?" He asked, his cocky grin spreading across his face. I couldn't help but smile back. I couldn't stay mad at him forever. He wouldn't let me. He would keep bugging me and bugging me until I gave in. Besides, I really wasn't that good at holding a grudge.
"Yeah, I guess. Since you won't leave me alone until I do," I replied. "And all that apologizing was starting to get really annoying." He laughed as we continued to the Hufflepuff common room. All the while, two things were bugging me. Since when did I start acting all buddy-buddy with Cedric Diggory? The very boy who I hate?! And what was Moody really doing with that potion? Was it really for Snape's class? Or was it something sinister? My bet was on the second. Now what about this Cedric thing? I mean, I know that he couldn't ever leave me alone-though I don't know why-but I was actually starting to like him now? I could only hope that things would go back to normal in the morning.
Yeah, really short chapter I know. I hoped you enjoyed it anyways. R&R!
