I'm going to say Aqua's water thing is over. Sorry for the long update!
Chapter 6 the walk and Christmas
After saying good night to Ron and Harry she went to the Slytherin common room.
Once she arrived she saw it was completely empty except for a figure next to the fire. She walked closer to see Draco.
"What are you doing so late up?" She asked.
"I was waiting for you, since you disappeared in the crowd."
"oh, I heard Granger was in Moaning Myrtle's bathroom and came to get her."
"Why would you want to help a Mud- muggleborn?" Draco corrected himself after seeing Aqua flinch.
"Just because she is a muggleborn doesn't mean I wouldn't want to try to save her life, seeing as she is a human like you."
Draco didn't argue at all, just nodded.
"Good night, Draco. Thanks for waiting for me, you didn't have to do that."
"Good night, Aqua." he said and she started walking away. She didn't hear Draco whisper, "I will always wait for you."
The next day Aqua woke up, took a shower, dressed, and walked downstairs. Since it was the weekend before Christmas Break she dressed in muggle clothing, a sky blue long sleeves shirt, a black skirt with black stockings, and black flats with a little bow on it.
When she went downstairs she saw Draco their, playing Exploding Snap with Blaise, Theo, and Goyle. Crabbe was just watching. She sneaked behind Crabbe and covered his eyes, wrapped her arm around his neck, and said in a deep voice. "You have 5 seconds to live."
Crabbe's face was priceless after that and started screaming.
"Good Morning" Aqua said cheerfully after they stopped laughing.
"Morning!" they chorused together.
"So, seeing as today is a weekend, I'm going to take a walk. Anyone care to join me?"
When it looked like no one was going to answer she said, "I guess not."
"Sorry Aqua, but after this game I have to finish my homework." Draco apologized.
"It's alright."
"I will!" everyone's head turned to Theo.
"You?" Blaise laughed.
"Hey!"
"Alright, race you out the castle, Theo!" Aqua yelled as she started running.
"Hey, you had a head start!" he yelled as he started running too.
"Yes, but your bigger and I'm smaller."
Draco, Blaise, Crabbe, and Goyle watched Theo and Aqua run out the common room.
Theo won the race.
On the walk
"So." Theo said awkwardly.
"So." Aqua said equally awkwardly. "Did you sleep well?"
"yeah. You?"
"good" Aqua answered.
They continued walking until Aqua said, "Look flowers!"
On the left on them was a bush of roses and jasmines.
"Roses and jasmines are my favorite kind of flowers." Aqua said as she knelt down next to the bush of flowers.
"Really?"
"yes, I loved them ever since I was a little girl and found them in the nearby forest of my house."
"Wow." Theo said as he plucked a jasmine from the bush and put it in her hair. "just as beautiful as you."
"Theo you flirt." she said with a small blush on her cheeks.
They started walking again in silence, but this time a comfortable silence.
"Why don't we sit here?" she said as she stopped next to a tree that was taller than all the other trees outside.
"Alright."
Aqua smiled and climbed up the tree.
Theo asked with a smile, "and how am I going to climb up there?"
Aqua laughed her dark brown hair framing her smiling face. She got down.
"I'll help."
"Really, thanks."
"A Slytherin excepting help, this isn't possible!" she joked.
"A slytherin offering help, no way!" Theo joked back.
"Fine we're equal. Put your hand on the nearest branch and hoist yourself up and your on the tree."
He did as she instructed and found himself later on sitting on a branch below Aqua's.
"You seem like you always climb trees." Theo said.
"'cause I always do. Ever since my dad taught me how to climb a tree without low branches, you were lucky that a I picked a tree with a low branch. I mostly climb trees with Draco."
"Why?"
"Because he was always there right next door when dad and mum were on a business trip and I was alone at the manor." Aqua answered.
"You always talk fondly about your father, why?" Theo asked.
"He always was there, when I was little, when I was sick, and when I needed someone and Draco wasn't there. I don't know what I would do without him."
"What about your, mom?"
"She's always at work."
"What does she do?"
"It's breakfast time. Come on."
"But you didn't answer my question."
"I'm so hungry." Aqua said as she started walking up the castle with Theo.
"Fine, I'll drop the subject for now."
Aqua was relieved.
When they got to the Great Hall, they found Draco, Blaise, Crabbe, and Goyle, and sat next to them.
"So how was your walk?" Draco asked.
"Good, did you finish your homework?"
"yep, Blaise wanted to copy off my homework but I wouldn't let him. Crabbe and Goyle just want to fail. Where did you get the flower?" Draco asked.
"Theo gave it to me. Where's Daphne?"
"In the library finishing up her homework."
Draco couldn't help be a little jealous only a little.
A couple days before Christmas break they boys, Aqua, and Daphne were talking.
"So who's going home for Christmas break?" Aqua asked.
"We all are, Aqua. Remember the ball." Blaise answered.
"Oh yeah, I totally forgot. Dad can't because he's off on a business trip and mum is going with him so I guess I'm not going to the ball. I'm staying here so I'm a loner."
"You want to stay with me?" Draco asked.
"I can't because dad told me to stay in Hogwarts."
"Maybe next time." Draco said. "I can't stay this year because my dad wants me to seeing as the ball is taking place in my manor."
"Bye Draco, Theo, Blaise, Crabbe, and Goyle Happy early Christmas and see you in a week! I'll give your present when you guys some back."
"Bye!" they all chorused together.
They all started walking away except Draco.
"Here Aqua." Draco said giving Aqua a small box. "Happy early Christmas"
"I'll send my gift with Scarlet. Bye."
"Bye." Draco started walking away. Aqua waving behind him.
Aqua decided to go to the library and do her homework so she doesn't have to worry about it later. When she entered she found Ron and Harry sitting next a table hunched over a book.
"Where's Hermione?" Aqua asked from behind.
"She went home for the break." Ron answered.
"What are you boys looking for?"
"we are looking for a guy named Nicolas Flamel." Ron answered. Harry stepped on his foot.
"Ow!"
"I know almost all about him. My Grandfather was a good friend of his for awhile at least."
"Really," Harry asked. "can you tell us about him."
"Only if you tell me why."
"Alright." Harry said after thought and whispering with Ron.
They filled her in about Fluffy ,Snape, and all that.
"ok, Nicolas Flamel is on Dumbledore's chocolate frog card. He is the only known person who made the Sorcerer's Stone."
"we already know about that, but what's the Sorcerer's Stone?" Ron asked.
"you guys don't know what that is! I at least expected you to know that." Aqua said pointing towards Ron. Ron started turning a light shade of red.
"The Sorcerer's Stone is a legendary substance with astonishing powers. The stone will transform any metal into pure gold. It also produces the Elixir of Life, which will make the drinker immortal." Aqua added at Ron's confused face. "The only stone currently in existence belongs to Nicolas, the noted alchemist and opera lover. Nicolas also celebrated his birthday last year and turned 656 lives with his wife, Perenelle who is 658, lives in Devon." She finished explaining with a smile Dumbledore would have after plopping a lemon drop in his mouth.
"A stone that make gold and stops you from dying! No wonder Snape wants it I mean who wouldn't?" Harry said.
"I wouldn't and I don't think Snape would want it either. Think about it. You living while everyone you love dies around you, then you get bored of life. Anyways I don't think Snape would want the stone because what would he live for he has no wife, kid, or family, not even a pet."
"But he tried to kill Harry!'' Ron almost shouted.
"You don't know that. I know what spell Snape or anyone else casted. Harry would've fell right off that broom. I would know because I did that spell before with my little cousin he was like 2 feet off the floor so it was alright. Anyways did you see anyone else with a wand pointed, no you couldn't have because you were focused on Snape." Aqua explained.
"But when Hermione lit Snape's robes Harry was balanced again." Ron pointed out.
"If someone else was casting the spell, maybe they were distracted when they saw movement at the teacher's spot.
"She has a point, Ron." Harry said after processing the information. "but why are you defending him?"
"Because he was my father's friend, and I trust my fathers judgment."
"What are you talking about, Ronykins?" Fred asked from behind.
"Hi Fred and George!" The Weasleys liked Aqua ever since they met her and her father.
Flashback:
"Daddy where are we going?" nine-year old Aqua was whining. Her face hasn't changed at all.
"We're going to this place called The Burrow to meet Arthur Weasley and give him his briefcase back, okay."
"Yes, daddy."
"Are you ready darling?"
"Yes daddy."
Aqua and John disaparated to the Burrow and went to the door and knocked. Aqua felt like she was sucked up a tube when they disaparated. The door opened and identical boys with red hair and freckles.
"Hello is your dad here?"
"no, bye." they shut the door. Aqua was about to walk back but John stayed put. Then they heard yelling of "Fred and George Weasley how many times do I tell you not to shut the door on people!" the door opened again and this time Arthur answered the door.
"I'm sorry, John. Thanks for bringing my briefcase and hi you must be Aqua. Please come in."
While John and Arthur were talking Fred and George walked up to her.
"Hi I'm Fred and that's George if you notice I'm the handsome one and George here has a small freckle right there." Fred said pointing right on top of his eyebrow.
"hi!" Aqua said and that was how there friendship started.
"We'll be right back." Fred and George quickly ran out the room and came back a couple minutes later with a smaller red-haired boy and an even smaller red-haired girl.
"Hi I'm Ginny and that's Ron he's shy." Ginny whispered the last part.
"Ginny!"
"What Ron?"
"It's not shyness it's a allergy!"
"Oh I know someone who had a allergy like yours he had to go to an asylum." Ron went white.
"I'm kidding." Aqua said after she realized Ron was still pale, he then turned red.
"Gosh Ronny your so….." Fred started.
"slow" George finished and that was how their freindship started with the Weasleys.
"Here you go Fred." Aqua handed him a small box from her pocket, she shrunk them,filled with money, taffy, and bottles.
"Thank you!" Fred and George said at the same time.
"No problem, but when you open up the shop remember to say I sponsored you."
"A pleasure." George said.
Aqua smiled a thanks.
"I got to do my homework care to join me?" Aqua asked after Fred and George left.
"Why? It's the beginning of the break." Ron asked.
"Well, I don't want to do it last minute and if you do it with me Hermione would be so surprised and lay off from scolding you."
"Yeah."
After half an hour Aqua was done with all her homework.
"you guys done?" Aqua asked the boys.
"No this is so boring. What is this?" Harry asked.
After Aqua told them what to write on their essays in different words they were done.
"There, nothing is wrong show this to Hermione and she'll be pretty impressed." Aqua said after revising it.
"thanks." Harry said.
"yeah thanks Hermione will be so surprised."
"your welcome." Aqua said happily.
"Good luck!" Aqua said walking away.
"Why?" Harry asked confused.
"Because I just wanted to say it."
Aqua couldn't sleep so she put a disillusion charm on her and started wondering around the castle. She knew her way all around the cast because she explored and made a map similar to the Marauder's map but not the same at the same time. The difference was Aqua had important objects down like the Mirror of Erise and the statue that is blocking the tunnel to Honeydukes. (Aqua doesn't know about the Marauder's Map yet.) She decided to visit the Mirror of Erised. She always saw the same thing in that mirror, her father, mother, Draco, Theo, Blaise, the Golden Trio, and last but not least her pets. All alive and happy.
She was about to stand right in front of the mirror when she ran into a invisible object or person and fell on the floor.
"Ow!"
Aqua started feeling around when she suddenly felt fabric against her hand. She tugged at it and there in front of her was Harry Potter.
"Aqua." Harry gasped. "Do you see them?"
"Who?"
"my parents."
"where are they?" Aqua asked looking around.
"In the mirror." immediately Aqua understood.
"Harry you see what your heart deepest desires. Your's is your parents and mine is seeing my friends and family alive and happy, nothing to worry about."
"oh." was all Harry could say.
"Now Harry I need you to listen closely. Do not come here again."
"Why not?"
"because you will become addicted with it. You would come every single night, then you would soon become too tired to the full extent but you would think it's worth it, it's not. I see though you already became partially addicted with the Mirror of Erised"
"but-"
"She's right Harry." a voice said behind them.
Harry and Aqua turned to see Albus Dumbledore sitting on a desk.
"er-Hello proffesor Dumbledore." Aqua said slowly.
"Hello Aqua and Harry." Dumbledore said in a bright smile.
"sir, is it true the mirror is called The Mirror of Erised?"
"yes, Harry."
"I see my parents in the mirror."
"and your friend Ron sees himself as Head Boy."
"How did you know?"
"I don't need a cloak to be invisible, Harry."
"Well, I need to go to bed so goodnight, Harry and Professor Dumbledore." She nodded her head towards them and went back to Slytherin common room without any trouble.
On Christmas morning she woke up to a medium sized stack of presents. She smiled, she sent Draco peacock feathers, Daphne Bertie Bott's every flavor beans, Theo the book, Phantom of the Opera, Harry chocolate frogs, Hermione Hogwarts; a History Limited Edition, Ron a new broom, Ginny a new doll,Fred and George test dolls that have a charm that reacts like a human would with a note that says,
"So you don't have to use a real person."
Arthur a muggle cd player with some cds and a note explaning how to use it, Molly new pots with a note saying,
"sorry about sending Mr. Weasley a muggle thing but I hope this conphistkates for that. I heard you needed new pots."
Her dad a new cloak, and her mom a new white comb with a rose wrapped around a stick.
She got out of bed left to take a shower. When she left the bathroom fully cloathed with a dark long-sleeved green t-shirt, jeans, and a green headband. She was about to grab a present when she heard pecking. She looked towards the window and recognized Daphne's dark brown owl, Jake. Aqua opened the window and Jake flew in and landed on her desk. She walked to Jake, untied the letter, and opened it to see Daphne's neat curly cursive,
"Go down to the common room, I got a surprise for you!"
Aqua sniled and walked down to the common room. When she got there she saw everyone jump out of the couches and heard, "Surprise!"
"What are you guys doing here?" Aqua asked.
"we decided to come visit you and open our presents together!" Daphne answered.
"Thank you! Let me get my presents." Aqua quickly ran upstairs and came back with her presents.
"Are you ready?" Draco asked.
"yup."
They then started opening presents. Aqua got a ocean blue turquoise necklace with a gold chain from Draco, a silver charm bracelet from Theo, chocolate frogs from Daphne, a music box from her mom, a book about potions from her father, and a sky blue with a green sweater with a red A on it from the Weasleys much to Draco's dismay.
"Thank you all for the presents! Where is Blaise?"
"He said he couldn't make it so he is going to give you your present when you get back." Theo answered.
"Ok, I still got his present too."
"This conversation is boring, I bet Aqua and I can beat Draco and Daphne to a snowball fight!" Theodore shouted in triumphet.
"I'll take that bet. I bet 2 galleons each." Draco challenged back.
"okay." Theo and Draco shook hands. Aqua got her jacket and they started a major snowball fight. Draco and Daphne was winning, until Aqua crept up behind Draco and jumped on his back covering his eyes. He started yelling and spinning in circles and fell back. She laughed and he turned and started tickling her. She laughed with glee, all the while Daphne had nothing against Theo and immeadatly lost the flag to their fort. Marking that Aqua and Theo won.
Theo pushed Draco off of her and helped her up.
"We Won!" He picked her up and spun her around!
She laughed and kissed him on the cheek, Draco looked jealously.
"Victory is ours!" Aqua yelled,once he let her go. "Now, I'm ready for hot chocolate and cookies!"
"Me too! Race you, guys!" Daphne yelled and started running, Aqua close behind seeing as Daphne had a head start.
"Come on Draco and Theo last one there is a rotten egg!" Aqua yelled.
Draco and Theo started running to the castle too.
When they made it to the castle, Theo being the last one because Draco pushed him, they sat down in the Slytherin Common Room.
Aqua called Fizzy the houseelf, "Fizzy, can you please bring us some hot chocolate and chocolate cookies?"
"Yes, misses Shwin!" and with that Fizzy left and came back a couple minutes later with hot chocolate and cookies.
"thank you, Fizzy!" Aqua said and Fizzy left. "Enjoy!"
"When are you guys going to give us the 2 galleons you guys promised?" Theo asked.
"Later!" Draco groaned.
I'm sorry if I made mistakes. I did this chapter just in time for Christmas so yay! Please Review!
