"one down two to go, one down two to go, one down two to go," Higgs was chanting lightly, skipping lightly around the section of the library that I had settled down in.
"What the hell are you doing?" Pucey asked, one eye brow raised.
"oh, I just had the best idea ever!" Higgs grinned happily jumping onto the seat next to Adrian.
"you say that every time," I commented drily, skipping a couple of pages in my text book in search of one that may be of use.
A frown replacing his grin Higgs defended that "they are all brilliant!"
Shaking his head slightly in an attempt to wake up a little bit more, Adrian turned to face me "so, what's your next move?"
"not a clue," I sighed, not really wanting to talk about it anymore.
After all, the whole thing was rather depressing. At first, the thought of being with a Gryffindor was enough to make me want to have nothing to do with it, but after I got used to it I began to realise that the real reason I was dreading this was because I couldn't honestly see myself with any of them.
It sounds sappy, but honestly If I was going to be forced to the same woman for the rest of my life, I'd rather it would be one I am actually attracted too at least.
"earth to Flint."
"eh?" Pushing the waving hand away from my face I turned to look at Terrance, "what were you saying?"
Frowning at my lack of attention Higgs whined "I just spent the last 10 minutes explaining my super-awesome-chocolaty-fudge-coated-super-plan, and you weren't even listening?"
"...no?"
Rolling his eyes at Higgs Pucey interrupted his mini-rant to point out who had just entered the library.
Turning in what I hoped was a subtle manner, I looked in the direction he was pointing to see what looked like the entirety of the Gryffindor Quidditch team complete with Mini-potter and his two sidekicks enter the Library.
Groaning internally, I turned to face Higgs once again so my back was now pointing at the clan.
"Just great," I muttered Under my breath at Higgs who had his eyebrows raised at me.
"Want to leave?" Pucey muttered just loud enough for me and Higgs to hear.
"What? And let them win!" I growled angrily, thumping my fist down upon the desk infront of me causing Madam Pince to shoot me an annoyed glance.
"Win what?" Pucey questioned curiously Looking between Higgs and me,
"Win nothing pucey," Higgs rolled his eyes, "Flint just tries to make everything into a competition,"
"Do not!" I argued, folding my arms over my chest childishly "But after what happened yesterday at detention they are probably looking for us to have a go, no way am I running away from that!"
"easy for you to say!" Higgs scowled, His hand resting lightly on his cheek "You're not the one who was slapped!"
Rolling my eyes, I sunk lower into my chair despite Puceys aggravated huff.
The looks that Higgs and Pucey kept sending each other when they thought I wasn't looking grew tiresome, and so I closed my eyes and blocked their obscene gestures out.
But I had only a few moments of peace before I felt pressure beneath my arms begin to lift me upwards from me seat. My eyes flew open to see Pucey and Higgs gripping me from both sides, matching smirks upon their face.
"what are you doing?" I retorted trying to pull my arm free of their grip.
"Well seeing as you have way to much pride, me and Pucey decided that we didn't really want to hear you pine over the Gryffindor chasers OR hear you moan that you wanted to leave but couldn't, so we just decided to make the decision for you,"
"Jeez, thanks soo much," I said sarcastically squirming my arms around to make it more difficult for the two of them to latch on, "Pucey Higgs Let me go or so help me I will beat you senseless."
"Oh really?" Terrance said sceptically, eyeing my slender figure. I almost growled in frustration at my new body, last year I could have easily fought the two of them off, but since the change they easily overpowered me. I mean don't get me wrong, I could have easily taken them on by themselves, after all I still had muscle, but it was very disorientating knowing I could no longer dominated in every fight I fought.
Eventually I relented and let them man-handle me out of the library without much resistance aside from the angry scowl set upon my face.
"You okay their Marc?" Montague said a bit later on as I collapsed into the largest sofa in the common room.
Groaning In response, I pulled my satchel off my shoulder and began to rummage through its contents in search of my Potions text book.
Feeling my hand make contact with the glossy cover of the book I retraced my hand and examined my prize.
My text book practically lay in pieces, I'd only had this book for a few weeks and already it was falling apart.
Rolling my eyes at the awful appearance of my book, I threw it upon the table in front of me catching the attention of those sitting around me.
"Dude, you okay?" Warrington questioned, one eyebrow raised at my furious expression.
Nodding unconvincingly, I slipped further into the back of my chair and let my head roll onto the head rest leaving myself to drown in my thoughts.
The truth be told, I'd been thinking a lot lately, and I was scared as hell.
It wasn't the whole 'new body' thing, I mean sure it was a little disorientating at first, but I could get used to it. It was really the whole 'one love forever' sort of thing.
As pathetic as it sounds I don't think I'm ready for that yet. I mean it's not even that I want to 'play the field' at least not anymore, Truth be told I seemed to have lost any sort of attraction I used to feel for the girls around me.
Last year I had been somewhat attracted to most females that walked the hall, given they were old enough. I mean any girl I had a chance to shag would have been enough, but now even if I tried really hard I couldn't find a single quality about the girls around me that I found attractive.
I figured at first it was just because the Veela in me was trying to keep me faithful to my 'one true love' or whatever, but I'd already deduced it to be one of the three chasers, but I couldn't find even a quality in them that I liked.
It was very terrifying.
At first I thought it was just me adjusting to the whole 'veela' deal, but it had been weeks and still nothing.
That was what was terrifying, being tied to someone who I wasn't even attracted to. No feeling's I could live with, but this was just unbearable.
And not only that, I'm not attracted to ANYONE.
It was more than a little overwhelming to say the least.
"Flint, Flint?" Graham was calling.
"Yeah?" I said looking up in shock.
"We are heading down to the hall, coming?"
Nodding my head in assent, I made to stand up only to be held back by Higgs grip on my arm.
"what?" I snapped, shaking his hand of my arm.
"This whole Veela thing is tearing you apart, the sooner we figure out which one it is, the sooner you can get on,"
Sighing, I nodded in understanding before following the others out of the common room.
As we all began to make our way to the great hall, the conversation turned onto Quidditch.
"So Marc, when are we going to start practising?" Pucey questioned, "we are going to need to work Malfoy into the team, none of us know how well he flies,"
Giving an awkward sideways glance at Higgs, who was determinedly ignoring our conversation (he was still bitter at being thrown of the team for Malfoy, who for all we knew, flew worse than him), I answered with a quick shrug, although after realising that this wouldn't be enough for the team, I added "probably soon, as soon as the detentions are over,"
I was answered with a collective groan from the team members, and several moans of "McGonagall is such a bitch." Nodding in approval, I decided to skip over the line of conversation for Higgs's sake, and instead mover onto Pucey's recent girlfriend, a Slytherin in the year below and a complete bimbo.
"So, how's whatsername Pucey?"
"Flora? Meh" Pucey shrugged.
"Meh?" Higgs raised an eyebrow, eager to rejoin the conversation, "what does that mean?"
"It means...meh," Pucey shrugged once more, as if that explained everything.
Rolling his eyes Bletchley was about to contribute, but was interrupted when he walked straight into Angelina Johnson.
I winced in anticipation of what was to come, and I could feel Higgs move close beside me to stop me from making any rash movements.
"Move Bletchley," Johnson spat viciously. Her arms folded over her chest.
I looked around for a few moments as if expecting Gryffindor's to sprout out of the ground, but none came leaving Johnson on her own but no less confident.
I was tempted to just walk away and leave them too it, preferably somewhere where I wouldn't lose my self-control but Higgs hissed "this may be a way of finding out which one it is, bell or Johnson" Into my ear, making me reconsider.
Instead I fell back slightly further then I normally would and awaited the indefinite carnage.
"Move Johnson," Bletchley retorted, completely ignoring her previous comment but matching her menacing tone.
Instead of backing down however she took a step closer her eyebrows knitted together in frustration.
Bletchley did precisely the same thing, but repeated his previous demand. I could feel Higgs grip tighten on my arm now as the tension between the Gryffindor and the Slytherin heated up suggesting a fight any minute now.
"or you could just fuck off?" Johnson suggested in a sickly sweet tone, as the other Slytherins looked on leering.
Snarling Bletchley gave up the pretence of wit and instead shoved Angelina to the side into a wall, and with barley a backwards glance walked past her.
Higgs grip was now almost vice like but he need not have bothered, I barley flinched as Angelina made contact with the wall, and I felt no sympathy.
Higgs gave me a questioning glance, and I shrugged back answering his question completely.
"So I guess it's Bell then?" Higgs grinned at me as we entered the Great hall.
" I guess," I sighed. Thinking more about me being with Bell made me feel a little nauseas to be honest. But It kind of makes sense, it seemed to affect me more, seeing her with that idiot Wood. And the way Wood looked at her like she was the best damn thing that ever happened to him. Or when he would rap his arms around her infuriated me.
After all Bell was mine! Right?
Anyway, I still couldn't see any reason why I would be attracted to Bell.
I'd figured that as soon as I knew which one it was, I'd be able to start falling for them, but I still couldn't see it, not yet.
I just had to hope I'd start feeling for her and soon.
:D so now he 'knows' its bell ;) xD
Aha I personally dislike his 'inner thoughts' moments but meh :P
Anyway, I hope YOU liked it xD
I'll try update again real soon!
