6. Chapter 6

Chapter 6

It was a rather clear starry night and Emma decided to go on the roof – something which wasn't allowed but she desperately wanted to see the stars, so at 8 o'clock she shut her door after dressing in something warm and went up the fire stairs which led to the roof. It was rather a large area and she leaned over the railing and gazed out at the sky. She was there for half an hour when someone found her.

"Why are you on the roof? Are you crazy?" said the voice. She turned to see it was Malfoy. He was leaning against the door, looking at his nails.

"No, I'm looking at how nice the sky is at this time of night, I hardly ever see it, except from my bedroom," she replied coldly.

"Only the suicidal come up here. Are you sure that's the only reason you're up here?" he said, walking closer to her.

"If that's what you want by constantly annoying me, then maybe I am up here to jump off,' she joked but he thought she was being serious.

"No don't, I didn't mean it like that," he rushed.

"Wait, I'm annoying you?" he asked, seconds later. Emma continued to look out at the sky, hoping he would figure the answer or himself. After he stared at her hard, she looked at him and saw that he looked a little offended.

"I've been annoying you? And I didn't even realise?" he said in a mean voice.

"Yeah, you have and it's really not funny."

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to-"

"Just leave it," she said and left before he could do anything. She locked her door and once she felt he wasn't going to barge in any second, she pulled out a book which was written about wandless magic.

She was going to get him back for annoying her, no matter which rules she would be breaking. She spent the next two weeks in her apartment, practicing wandless magic. It involved a lot of concentration of the brain and sometimes would give her headaches, so she would rest for a day or two until she felt she could do it again. Now she could perform levitation spells, basic jinxes and hexes, retrieving spells and a few others. She hadn't received a warning letter yet about her use of magic.
