Chapter 7: Mudbloods and Murmurs
After Draco gave me that new Alchemy book I haven't been able to put it down. Fred and George walked down very tired as they plopped down beside me. "Hey Brighteyes!" I giggle slightly and look up from the pages smiling at the Twins.
"Hiya boys, going to practice?" they nodded with a shrug "Yeah but you know…" Fred started a smile on his face "It would be great if we had someone special in the stands while we're practicing." I laugh and brush some of my red bangs from my eyes "Oh and is this me?" they nodded their head "Of course!" Annie was walking down the stairs but when she saw the twins she gulped and tried to hide.
"Annie?" I whisper confused staring at my new friend hiding behind a chair? "Hello Lizzy." I smile and stand up "Want to come to Quidditch Practice with us? I'll be super bored." She nodded her head vigorously "I'd love to!"
I smile brightly before facing the boys. "You ready?" Fred smiled brightly wrapping an arm around Lizzy's shoulders "Of course!" I smile brightly and watch as George brought a blushing Annie outside like Fred had done with me.
Oh I get it. Annie has a crush on one of the twins. I hope it's not Fred, I mean I like Fred a lot and I've known him longer! Okay I'm sounding a bit jealous but wouldn't you be if some girl was trying to steal the guy you've had a crush on for the longest time.
Oh who am I kidding Fred would never like me! He had a bunch of girls along with George lined up to date if he wanted to. Stop it Lizzy! As we reached the Quidditch Field and parted ways, the boys had to change of course. Annie and I left to get seats to watch.
"So you like the twins huh?" Annie's face heated tremendously as she looked away "W-What? No way!" I laugh softly "Well it's okay I like one of them too," her eyes widen in shock "Really?" I nodded my head thinking of Fred and all his amazing qualities. "How can you tell them apart?" I laugh again "Well Fred he had this mark on the side of his neck and George doesn't. Now that I say it out loud I feel like a little creeper. But you can't really tell who is who sometimes." She nodded her head. Some of her blonde hair fell softly into her eyes as she waits excitedly.
"Oh my gosh! Are you Elizabeth Potter?" I laugh slightly turning my head to see a boy with He had mousy brown hair and brown eyes and was maybe an inch or two shorter than me if I was standing. "Yeah that's me." He took out his camera and snapped a picture. I felt my eyes flash as the bright light blinded me.
"Wow!" he cried out smiling brightly "I'm Colin Creevey, first year." I feel him shake my hand with both of his. So for the maybe an hour Colin kept asking me questions like what is my home like, what do I like to do for fun? And so on. "I'm so excited to see Harry play!" I laugh at the kid "Really? It's just practice I've seen a few it's not that exciting."
Hermione and Ron came out and sat on the stands. Hermione sent a wicked glare directed my way I didn't even care right now. "Hey Lizzy, who's your new friend?" Ron smiled at Annie "This is Annie, Annie this is Ron Weasley. Fred and George's little brother." He smiled and waved at the girl "Hi, what have you guys been up to?"
I shrug my shoulders "Lizzy has been answering questions for Colin here." Annie explained smiling at Ron. "Well I guess he finally met the other Potter." I laugh slightly shaking my head I yawn stretching my arms above my head bored.
"Aren't you finished yet?" Ron called incredulously. "Haven't even started," Harry said looking at the toast and marmalade the two had brought out of the Great Hall. "Wood's been teaching us new moves." Harry mounted his broomstick and kicked at the ground, soaring up into the air.
Fred and George laughed racing Harry around the Quidditch stadium. I think I was going to be blind though. Colin was clicking his camera; the flash was killing my eyes. "Look this way, Harry! This way!" Colin cried in his shrilly voice. I shield my eyes in pain leaning onto Annie for support. God this kid has to kill it with the flash.
I'm trying to fix my eyes from the bright lights but all I could see was black dots. I yelp being picked up in someones arms. "Hey bright eyes don't fall on me." I blink a few more times before seeing who was holding me. It was Fred. I could tell by that little mark on his neck. "Hey Freddy." He laughed smiling brightly "Want a ride?"
I shake my head "No but I'll meet you after practice." He sighed "No fair, oh well." I giggle staring at my handsome savior. Oh my gosh did I really just say he was my handsome savior? Oh boy I have it bad. "See ya later love!" he flew off and all I could feel was the heat on my face and my heart beating rapidly.
He called me love. Oh god I why? Why did I have a crush on him. Ron's brother. Glancing to my left I saw Ron smirking slightly and Hermione have a small smile but that turned into a glare soon. So she was happy and mad at me still.
"Seems like Fred likes you." I scuffed with a roll of the eye. "Yeah right, your brother only likes me as a friend that's all." I look down and saw that the Slytherin team was coming onto the field. Whats going on? Watching on the field there it looked like there would be a bit of a tussle soon.
"What the…?" I ask confused "Whats going on?" Hermione whispered staring at them "Let's go check it out." We nodded even though Hermione was still mad at me, she still made sure I could walk fine. Really sweat of her too. We ran across the grass to check out what was going on.
"What's happening?" Ron asked Harry. "Why aren't you playing? And what's he doing here?" He said looking at Malfoy. I look over at Draco and was slightly shocked to see him in Slytherin Quidditch Robes. "I'm the new Slytherin Seeker, Weasley," He said smugly smiling at me. "Everyone's just been admiring the brooms my father bought our team." I glance at the brooms while Ron gaped, open mouth.
"Okay…? You got a new broom big deal." Ron smacked me in the back of the head "Lizzy! It's a 2001! They are supposed to be the best racing brooms out." I rub the back of my head in pain "How the bloody hell was I supposed to know that!" I snapped whacking him with my book "Don't hit me." I growl out.
The Slytherin Team started laughing except for Draco who was giving death glares at Ron. "You okay Brighteyes?" I nodded my head smiling when Fred pulled into his arms holding me to his chest so I was still facing the Slytherin group.
"Perhaps the Gryffindor team will be able to raise some gold and get new brooms, too. You could raffle off those Cleansweep Fives; I expect a museum would bid for them." The Slytherin team howled with laughter yet again.
"At least no one on the Gryffindor team had to buy their way in," Hermione said sharply. "They got in on pure talent." The smug look on Draco's face flickered into annoyance. "No one asked your opinion you filthy little Mudblood," he spat out.
My eyes widen, my mouth dropped "DRACO!" I yell horrified. I wasn't sure what it was that he said but it was a horrible thing to say to her. It was obvious Draco Malfoy didn't like Hermione but to say that? I knew it was worse now because Flint had to dive in front of Draco to protect him from Fred and George, Alicia shrieked yelling "How dare you!" and Ron, he pulled out his wand yelling "You'll pay for that one, Malfoy!" and pointed it at him under Flints arm.
A loud bang echoed around the stadium and a jet of green light shot out of the wrong end of Ron's wand, hitting him in the stomach and sending him reeling backward onto the grass. "Ron! Ron! Are you alright?" Hermione shrieked worried.
I growl glaring at him before turning to Ron worried about him. "Ron! What happened?" Annie asks worried. Ron was throwing up slugs and the juice would dripple into his lap. The Slytherin team was paralyzed with laughter. Flinch was doubled over hanging onto his new broomstick for support. Malfoy was on the ground banging his fist on the grass laughing too much.
"Give me that!" I snapped snatching a broomstick about to beat the crap out of Malfoy. It was his fault! Fred held me back as I struggled "Let me go!" I snapped struggling even more. "No, don't you realize if you do something you'll get in trouble." I face Hermione "But it's his fault! At least let me break his nose." I snapped growling.
"What did he do?" Annie asks worried "He called her a mudblood." Hermione winced and Fred slapped his hand over my mouth "Don't you ever say that again! You are too good to say something so foul!" Fred yelled down at me. He sounded so serious, it was strange. I nodded my head in understanding.
His hold was tight. It was silent for a while till Annie yelled. "DU WIDERLICHES WIESEL!SIEH ZE, DASS DU LAND GEWINNST!" I stare at her shocked. What in the world did she just say? It was quiet again the Slytherins slowly stopped laughing "What?" Draco said utterly confused.
"You heard her!" I snapped crossing my arms glaring at him. "We'd better get him to Hagrids, its nearest," Harry said to Hermione. I pull out of Freds grip and help Ron up "What happened, Harry? What happened? Is he ill? But you can cure him, can't you?" Colin had run down from his seat and was now dancing alongside Harry.
Hermione and Harry were helping him off the field when he barfed another load of slugs. "Oh Ron…" I whisper worried. "Oooh,"Colin said fascinated and raising his camera. "Can you hold him still, Harry?" I cringe at the sight and gathered his things glaring at Draco again. He smacked his head in annoyance.
"Elizabeth, Professor Snape said he wishes to speak with you later on today." I glare at Flint "Bite me." I snapped. I stare at his broom tempted to smash his new broom across his face. I'm starting to hate Slytherin more and more now. Draco smacked his head in shame "Merde…" He muttered under his breath "Come on Annie lets make sure Ron is okay." She nodded and we rushed after my brother.
"Lizzy wait." I face the twins walking backward "Thanks for looking after Ron." I nodded my head and sighed "You should have let me beat him up." George smiled softly "Worry about Ron and tell us what happens okay?" I nodded and we run off to Hagrid's hut.
"What exactly did you say anyway?" Annie laughed with a shrug "You disgusting weasel! Go jump off a cliff." I was shocked was that really what she said. "Um…isn't that a bit harsh?" She glared at me slightly "He called Hermione a mudblood. It is a horrible thing to say that purebloods call muggleborns. It means dirty blood." I knew it!
Okay no I didn't but I was so going to deal with Malfoy myself. We finally caught up but when we made it to the hut Gilderoy Lockhart where was Harry, Hermione, and Ron? "It's a simple matter if you know what you're doing!" Lockhart said loudly to Hagrid. "If you need help, you know where I am! I'll let you have a copy of my book. I'm surprised you haven't already got one…I'll sign one tonight and send it over. Well, good bye!" he turned away from Hagrid "Oh Elizabeth so good to see you, what are you doing out here if I might ask?"
I felt my eyes widen in horror I had turned to leave but he saw me! "Merde!" I cursed under my breath before facing Lockhart "Oh nothing much just wanted to see Hagrid I haven't seen him in a while and I missed him." He nodded and smiled brightly "Oh wonderful! I was just showing Hagrid how to do a few things. I'm glad I've caught you, since you didn't do so well on the first quiz I have decided to give you a retake. Now as kind as I am right now it will be just the one."
I felt my eye twitch as I stare at this man. "Um thank you sir but I…" he cut me off starting to ramble about how wonderful he is. "Oh mon dieu, s'il yous plait, allez-vous-en, homme stupide." I mumble feeling my eye twitch again.
"Why thank you very much Miss Potter but flattery will not keep your grades up." I nodded my head. This proves it! Gilderoy Lockhart is supposed to be fluent in many languages French being on of them. I just said oh please will you go away you stupid man. He took that as a compliment? He had to be faking it.
"Well goodbye!" he strode away toward the castle. I hear Harry walk over with Ron and Hermione "Why did you leave me to deal with him!" I snapped annoyed. "Sorry…" Annie rolled her eyes and knocked on Hagrids front door very urgently.
Hagrid appeared looking very grumpy but his expression brightened when he saw us. "Bin wonderin' when you'd come ter see me. Come in, come in, thought you mighta bin Professor Lockhart back again." Harry and Hermione supported Ron over the threshold into the one roomed cabin, the enormous bed in the corner and fire crackling in the other felt nice right now. Hagrid didn't seem all that disgusted by Ron's slug problem. Harry hastily explained as he lowered Ron into a chair.
"Better out than in," he said cheerfully , plunking a large copper basin in front of him. "Get 'em all up, Ron." I frown worried for Ron, how long was thing going to last? "I don't think there's anything to do except wait for it to stop," Hermione said anxiously, Ron bent over the basin hurling up some more slugs.
"That's a difficult curse to work at the best of times, but with a broken wand…" Annie said softly "Hagrid this is my new friend Annie, Annie this is Hagrid." I introduce quickly checking over Ron worried. I felt Fangs whimpering against my arm his big wet nose nuzzling under my arm for some attention. "What did Lockhart want with you, Hagrid?" I turn around and got a big wet kiss from Fang. My face was covered in slobber now.
I blink a few times before laughing softly petting him "Givin' me advice on getting' kelpies out of a well," Hagrid all but growled out moving a half plucked rooster off his scrubbed table and setting down his teapot. "Like I don' know. An' bangin' on about some banshee he banished. If one word of it was true, I'll eat my kettle."
I glance at Hermione worried. I huffed annoyed with myself. Hermione liked the guy but I didn't but if it would get my friend back then whatever. "Isn't that a bit unfair?" I ask softly. Harry stared at me shocked he knew how I despised this teacher. "Professor Dumbledore obviously thought he was the best man for the job…" Hermione started picking up where I left off.
I gave her a small smile and saw a bit of joy in her eyes. "He was the on' man for the job," Hagrid said offering us some treacle fudge, "An' I mean the on' one. Getting' very difficult ter find anyone fer the Dark Arts job. People aren't too keen ter take it on, see. They're startin' ter think it's jinxed. No one's lasted long fer a while now. So tell me," Hagrid jerked his head at Ron.
"Who was he tryin' ter curse?" I growl clenching my fist yet feel Fang nuzzle into my face giving me three more wet kisses. "Malfoy called Hermione something…it must've been really bad, because everyone went wild."
"It was bad," Ron said hoarsely emerging over the tabletop looking pale and sweaty. "Malfoy called her 'mudblood' Hagrid…" he dived out of sight as a fresh wave of slugs made their appearance. I glare out the window clenching my teeth "He didn'!" Hagrid growled at Hermione.
"He did," she said. "But I don't kow what it means. I could tell it was really rude of course…" I walk away and felt my tears brim about to fall. Why was I crying? Well Hermione is my best friend. "It's about the most insulting thing he could think of," Ron gasped coming back up.
"Mudblood's are a really foul name for someone who is Muggle-born, you know, non magic parents. There are some wizards like the Malfoy's family who think they're better than everyone else because they're what people call pure blood."
Annie frowned shaking her head "It is the worst thing to say to someone. My father would have a field day if anyone of my family ever called someone a mudblood..." she whispered clenching her fist "I mean, the rest of us know it doesn't make any difference at all. Look at Neville Longbottom. He's pureblood and he can hardly stand a cauldron the right way up."
"An' they haven't invented a spell out Hermione can' do," Hagrid said proudly making Hermione go a brilliant shade of magenta. "It's disgusting thing to call someone," Ron whispered wiping his sweaty brown with a shaking hand. "Dirty blood, see. Common blood. It's ridiculous. Most wizards these days are half-blood like me. If we hadn't married Muggles we'd've died out." Annie explained petting Fangs head lovingly.
"Well, I don' blame yeh fet tryin' ter curse him, Ron," Hagrid said loudly over the thuds of more slugs hitting the basin. "Bu' maybe it was a good thing yer wand backfired. 'Spect Lucius Malfoy would've come marchin' up ter school if ye'd cursed his son. Least yer not in trouble."
Harry sighed shaking his head "Lizzy almost broke his new broom on his head if Fred didn't hold her back." I blush slightly and blink away my tears "He insulted Hermione I would have sent him to the hospital wing in pieces if I could have." I feel arms hold me tightly "I know you would have, thank you for sticking up for me." I wrap my arms around Hermione and hold her tightly. "I'll always stick up for my friends you know that."
"Harry," Hagrid said abruptly as though struck by a sudden thought. "Gotta bone ter pick with yeh. I've heard you've bin givin' out signed photos. How come I haven't got one?" Harry looked furious "I haven't been giving out signed photos," He said hotly. "If Lockhart's still spreading that around…"
Hagrid started laughing smiling at Harry "I'm on'y jokin'," He said patting Harry genially on the back sending his face first into the table. "I knew yeh hadn't really. I told Lockhart yeh didn' need the. Yer more famous than him without tryin'." I giggle letting go of Hermione "Bet he didn't like that," Harry said sitting up rubbing his chin.
"Don' think he did," Hagrid said his eyes twinkling. "An' then I told him Id never read one o' his books an' he decided ter go. Treacle fudge, Ron?" He added as Ron reappeared at the table. "No thanks," Ron said weakly. "Better not risk it."
I squeak as Fang yet again nuzzled into my body in some way begging for attention. "He's bin like that all summer. Missed you Lizzy." I giggle petting his head happily "Oh I missed you too Fang," He licked my face again his tail wagging happily. "Hagrid whatever happened to Fluffy?"
Hagrid sighed and looked out the window "He's in the Forest now, Dumbledore has been lookin for a home fer Fluffy." I raise my hand as tall as I could "Can I have him? I'll take real good care of him!" Hagrid chuckled and Harry gave me the look of pure horror "Do you plan on having him eat the dursleys?" He flat out said making me giggle.
"No, but Fluffy is so cute! How can't you want him?" Hagrid laughed patting on my head causing me to fall slightly under the weight "No Lizzy, yeh can't have Fluffy." I pouted slightly crossing my arms "Oh well…" Annie was confused "Who is Fluffy?"
I giggle "He's this three headed dog Hagrid was taking care of." Her eyes widen in shock "You had a three headed dog! Neat!" I giggle with Annie "You two are insane that dog was scary!" Harry yelled at me.
I roll my eyes and smile "That's what you think! But we think he's adorable." Hagrid laughed smiling down at us before standing up "Come an' see what I've bin growin'," Hagrid said as Harry and Hermione finished the last of their tea.
In the small vegetable patch behind Hagrid's house were a dozen large pumpkins. They had to be size of a large bolder! I felt my eyes widen and my jaw drop. "Getting' on well, aren't they?" Hagrid said happily. "Fer the Halloween feast…should be big enough by then." I stare at Hagrid my jaw still slightly dropped. "What have you been feeding them?" Harry said just as shocked.
Hagrid looked over his shoulder to check that we were alone. "Well, I've bin givin' them, you know, a bit o' help…" I stare at the flowery pink umbrella leaning against the back of the cabin wall. That pink umbrella was what Hagrid used to do magic. You see he was expelled his third year of Hogwarts and had to have his wand broken. I believe Hagrid had the left over pieces of his wand inside that umbrella so he was able to do the magic. Yet he wasn't a loud to use magic.
I'm not sure why he got expelled but it had to be something bad. "An Engorgement Charm, I suppose?" Hermione said halfway between disapproval and amusement. "Well, you've done a good job on them." I giggle slightly "That's what yer little sister said," Hagrid said nodding at Ron. "Met her jus' yesterday."
Hagrid looked sideways at Harry, his beard twitching probably because he was smiling. "She said she was jus' lookin' round the grounds, but I reckon she was hopin' she might run inter someone else at my house." He winked at Harry. I giggle even more. Oh this would be fun. "If yeh ask me, she wouldn' say no ter a signed…"
I laugh shaking my head Hagrid was just getting under Harry's skin now. "Oh, shut up," Harry said, Ron snorted with laughter and the ground was sprayed with slugs. "Watch it!" Hagrid roared, pulling Ron away from his precious pumpkins.
I squeak as a slug landed on my foot. Some of the slime and his spit was on my leg. "Ew!" I kick it over at Harry who jumped away "Gross!" I face Harry and saw him holding back laughter. "Laugh I dare you." His smile brightened and he burst into laughter with Hermione.
Annie joined in and soon Ron did as well. More slugs sprayed the ground at that. It was nearly lunchtime and my stomach was growling yelling at me for food. Thanks to Fred and George I wasn't able to get some breakfast they wanted me to watch them practice and I missed breakfast!
We said bye to Hagrid and walked back up to the castle, Ron hiccoughing occasionally, but only bringing up two very small slugs. We barely set foot into the entrance hall when Professor McGonagall was walking toward us. "There you are, Potter, Weasley. You will both do your detentions this evening."
"What are we doing, Professor?" Ron said nervously suppressing a burp. "You will be polishing the silver in the trophy room with Mr. Filch," Professor McGonagall said. "And no magic, Weasley. Elbow grease."
Ron gulped. Argus Filch the caretaker hated every student in this school. "And you, Potter, will be helping Professor Lockhart answer his fan mail." Professor McGonagall said sternly. "Oh n…Professor, can't I go and do the trophy room, too?" Harry asked desperately. "Certainly not," Professor McGonagall said raising her eyebrows. "Professor Lockhart requested you particularly. Eight o'clock sharp, both of you."
Harry and Ron slouched their shoulders and walked into the Great Hall in such depression. I got my food and ate quickly. I still needed to see Professor Snape. "Filch'll have me there all night," Ron said heavily. "No magic! There must be about a hundred cups in that room. I'm no good at Muggle cleaning."
I smile slightly. "I'd swap anytime. I've had loads of practice with the Dursleys. Answering Lockhart's fan mail…he'll be a nightmare…" I face Harry my eyebrows scrunched together "I usually am stuck doing the cleaning. You're outside most of the time for your punishments."
I sighed and got up "I'll see you all later, off to see Professor Snape." Annie's eyes widen in fear "How can you say that so happily!" I smile and was about to answer when Ron spoke again. "Scratch that I'd rather deal with Filch than Snape any day!" I laugh and shake my head "Whatever you say later boys." I leave the great hall walking down to the dungeons.
"Elizabeth…" I growl walking faster "Come on please talk to me." Draco begged walking faster. "Leave me alone! How could you say something like that about Hermione! She didn't do anything at all!" He glared at me.
"What do you mean didn't do anything! She insulted me saying I have no talent that I had to buy my way in!" I growl glaring at him "Well didn't you? What new Quidditch player buys their entire team new brooms? And what they probably cost 900 gallons each?" I just took a guess but it was high up there, I remember seeing the price of that broom it was I think 850? But I don't remember.
"Lizzy I got in on my own. Father bought the brooms after I told him I got on the team. He was thrilled I was the new seeker that he gave it as a gift." I huffed annoyed. I can't believe this. "Please you got to believe me." I walk away heading to Professor Snapes office.
"I don't care if you got in if you bought yourself in or you got in because your good. You insulted Hermione. How can I be okay with the fact that you called her a…" I promised Fred I wouldn't say that.
"What a mudblood? She is one!" I smack him hard watching as his head twisted to the right. My eyes were burning with rage "Don't you dare call her that. She doesn't have dirty blood. Let me ask you this. What color is your blood?" He blinked a few times. "Red." I nodded "Hermione has Red blood. What a shocker you both have the same type of blood."
I walk down the hall again "We do not! Just because we both have red blood doesn't mean anything." He grabbed my wrist stopping me. "Let me ask you another question. You like me yes?" he gulped and nodded his head. "Now how can you be friends with me someone who has dirty blood."
He scuffed "You aren't a Mudblood." I cross my arms ripping my wrist from his grip. "My mother was a muggle born. My mother met my father and they had Harry and I. Are you calling my mother a Mudblood as well?" I hope Fred doesn't find out I said it.
"Well I…um…she…" I cut him off by walking away. "It's different if it's my mom but if it's Hermione? God what a pureblooded pig." He cringed yet continued to follow me as finally made it to Professor Snape's office. "I'm sorry okay; I didn't mean to hurt you." I face him with a blank look.
"You just don't understand. She gets on my last nerve and has to be the best at everything!" I cross my arms again. "Yes so? What muggle student doesn't want to be the best at everything? A muggle born just finding out they are a witch/wizard is incredible. It shows them that they aren't like everyone else." I sighed shaking my head before knocking on the door "I got to talk to Professor Snape."
He frowned as an annoyed voice sounded muffled "Come in." I open the door and walk inside. Professor Snape was grading papers the most annoyed look on his face as he stared at the papers. "What do you want?" He snapped never looking up "Well I was told by Marcus Flint that you needed to see me sir." He looked up and smiled softly.
"Elizabeth… I was wondering when you would be coming to see me." I smile at my favorite Professor at this school. "Yet I did not ask for you to see me." I scrunch my eyebrows confused before shrugging my shoulders "Oh well, how was your summer sir?" I ask walking forward to sit in one of the chairs. "My summer was swell, and yours?" I shrugged my shoulders.
"Well there was this house elf who wouldn't give me my letters thinking if I didn't get mail I wouldn't want to come back to school." He seemed interested staring down at me. "A house elf?" I nodded my head "He kept saying something bad would happen this year."
He frowned curious "And did he say what bad would happen?" I shake my head no. "No, he said he couldn't tell us. I think he was the reason why Harry and Ron couldn't get through the barrier." Professor Snape shook his head "If your brother was anything like you he would have been smart and sent us an owl and not jeopardize showing off every Muggle in London of the wizarding world."
I nodded my head "I know sir, and I yelled at him for that. Both of them, but I think they got good punishments. Knowing Mr. Filch Ron will be cleaning until tomorrow, and Harry is stuck with Lockhart and Harry isn't the biggest fan of him."
A small smile made its way to his lips. "You really don't like my brother at all do you." He sighed and stood up shaking his head "Your older brother is quite the trouble maker. He is not one of my best students. Yet I do not hate your brother. He has your mothers eyes." I smile softly staring at him.
He face me again "Do not tell him I told you that." I nodded my head extending my hand holding out my pinky to him "Pinky swear." He nodded hooking his pinky with mine "Thank you," I nodded and smile "Can I work for you again around your classroom? I really liked working with you sir." He raised an eyebrow.
"I assumed you only chose to continue working with me was to keep an eye on me." I roll my eyes annoyed "That's what the others thought, I enjoy working for you sir. Honest sir." He stared me down before smiling showing off his teeth. Some would think it's creepy but I wasn't to me. It looked nice on him. Well in my opinion. "I suppose it would be nice to have one of my favorite students working for me again."
I smile brightly "Really? Oh thank you Professor!" He nodded and left to finish grading his papers. "Oh Professor can I ask how you feel about Professor Lockhart?" He rolled his eyes "I am not a fan of his work." I frown shaking my head "If it's any consolation I'd rather see you as the new DAtDA teacher. At least with you we wouldn't have to deal with who we have now and his annoying teachings."
Professor Snape smirked down at me "I see you are not a fan as well?" I gag slightly "No, I suspect it is all an act but that's just me. I don't see how one man is able to do so much and not be mentally scared. Or at least acting like Quirrell did when he was acting."
Ugh Quirrell. He nodded in agreement "I agree completely." I giggle slightly "Has he tried to teach you how to brew potions yet?" he grunted annoyed "Several times, yet every direction he said was wrong. He wanted to destroy the entire school."
I cock my head to the side "What potion were you making?" I ask softly "A revival potion. Madam Pomfrey had asked me personally to make her some more." I smile and surpress a giggle. "Well I'd rather ask you for a potion than Lockhart. In our first class he made us take a quiz on himself." I say annoyed.
"Really?" I nodded my head in annoyance. "Then he let out a cage of Cornish Pixies expecting us to put them back inside the cage." He nodded "That is quite extreme? Did you know how to?" I laugh nervously "Um I used one of his books to whack a bunch of them." He chuckles ruffling my red hair.
"A good way to get rid of a Cornish Pixie would be by either using the spell Immobulus curse. It renders any living target immobile." I nodded in understanding "Dang it! I should have known that. Thanks Professor Snape." He nodded and looked over some of his books. "I have some spell books you could borrow if you wish to study your spells yet Professor Flitwick would have more." I nodded my head. "Thank you Professor Snape I would like that. I won't learn many spells from Lockhart's books."
He chuckles and nodded handing me a book on Dueling "You shall have a dueling lesson coming up I sugjest you study this well. And I will see you Monday afternoon." I nodded my head excitedly.
"Yes sir! See you Monday!" I ran out the room clutching the new book to my chest a big smile on my face. I wonder how Fred and George are doing. They seemed pretty worried about Ron.
So what did you think? Hope you all liked it my little creatures! I wonder what Flint has planned, why would he ask Lizzy to see Professor Snape when he didn't ask for her? Or why is Draco begging Lizzy to forgive him? Well we know why for Draco but what is going to happen next! We'll see on Sunday! Later everyone Hope you all have a good Easter!
