Chapter 10

'Boris, who tipped you off?'

He scowled at me before rather sheepishly saying, 'I don't know, I over heard a group of boys yesterday saying that d'hey over heard some girls saying that d'hey were going to try an' infiltrate de house yonder nigh…'

'Yonder whata?'

'Yonder nigh, lass Tonight! You know for a smart girl you're not very quick are ya?'

Well I gave him a withering look which rather appropriately caused his knees to knock, audibly together. Now when you're in the same house as the Marauders and you go to a school full of silly and insecure girls. You get used to hearing crazy plans, from girls trying to sneak into different houses to see their boyfriends… this most probably being the problem caused me to let out an exasperated sigh of frustration.

'Boris, were these boys talking about their girlfriends by any chance?'

'I don't know… d'hey may have made some rather disgraceful comments that suggested d'hey were.'

'Right and how often have you faced girlfriends trying to sneak into the house?'

'Well d'hey're never stupid enough to use de port hole lass. D'hey normally use the window to the side… or a broom…' then in a conspirators whisper muttered, 'at least that's what I tell them to do, got to let de boys have d'heir fun. (insert chortle) although I'll hav you know I tell the boys that come knockin' at my door where they can stick their…'

'Yes thank you Boris. Now I hate to point the obvious, like you said for a smart girl I'm not very quick, but if you have no issues with girlfriends sneaking in to see their boyfriends, then why are you keeping your hard working Ravenclaws' out in my hallway?'

'Did I mention you looked very pretty dis evenin?' A large beaming smile and an irish accent is hard to resist, even if it is from a painting.

So I smiled and rolled my eyes, 'now that's all cleared up, you couldn't let my friends sneak through could you?' I whispered batting my eyelashes and dazzling him with my most charming smile. 'Lottie's Olivia's sister and well she's worried and from what you've been saying she has a right to be… so would you mind?' it was worth a shot…

Unfortunately it crashed and burned.

'No lass! You know the rules… you either use de window or a broom' wink, 'now be off with ya so I can let dis sorry lot in.' And that was all I could get from him, so I signaled to Lottie and Katie to come away and quickly filled them in on what had happened.

I thought that would be the end of the 'sneaking into Ravenclaw plan'… but no. Lottie quickly got taken with the window idea, and before I could stop her thought it would be a fantastic plan to jump through the window and sneak in.

Well I couldn't let her go on her own now could I? so I went to make sure she didn't cause too much mayhem and Katie stayed behind talking to Boris and keeping watch.

Right now the window thing might not make much sense, but this is how it works. Ravenclaw is a tower like Gryffindor, unlike Gryffindor it had a window right next to the port hole, that does not lead into the tower but rather just had a rather large ledge on the outside which one could use, if one so desired, to walk around the side of the tower until you got to a window that happened to lead into what we thought would be the common room.

Unfortunately there turned out to be another reason why Boris didn't suggest the window ideas to boys… the first window you come across, does lead to the common room but it doesn't open, except for a small vent at the top, and it's a long drop to the floor from there so you would be insane to do that. The second window leads into one of the boys dorms.

Now whilst I stayed shivering on a ledge, contemplating how it had not crossed the teachers' minds that students where horny enough to risk death, Lottie checked to see if anyone was actually in the dorm. It was empty which was odd as it was past curfew. But still seduced by the warmth and the fact that I was much less likely to die on the other side of the window we snuck in.

Now this was the easy bit we cast a silencing bubble around ourselves and quickly sneaked from the boys dorm to the common room to Olivia's dorm, after getting it wrong twice, where we found her diary. Lottie sat down to read the whole thing… in a room full of sleeping girls. I had the fantastic idea of copying it so we could get out as quickly as possible I was starting to get nervous, and as it turned out for good reason.

We sneaked back down to the common room and almost made it back to the boys dorm, when we heard voices coming from there… the door opened, we ran and dived behind one of the sofa's.

Audley and his friends came out, which of course had to include the Ravenclaw prefect, Johnny Kensingthorpe. As he never attended any of the prefect meetings it was unlikely he would recognize me… I hoped.

Anyway they sat on the sofa's and began talking, at first we paid no attention; we crawled around the edge of the sofa's in our silent bubbles trying to get to the port hole. Then however Audley sat up abruptly and said, 'Oh you'll never guess what has finally happened? Potter finally got with that Evans girl!' I immediately stopped moving which meant Lottie crawled right into my arse.

Well I was shocked, and mouthed 'what does he mean finally?' to Lottie she didn't get it so we finally removed our silent bubbles and I repeated it in a whisper. However I didn't have to wait long to get an answer because Johnny piped up, 'really?! Dam I knew I should have gone in on the pool! He's liked her for so long now and done nothing I thought he never would… good on him though, she's hot.'

I couldn't believe it, both Lottie and I were in shock we couldn't speak let alone move, but there was more.

'Yeh, saw them talking outside DADA today, I got the impression he hasn't exactly won her over yet…'

'Really?'

'Yeh, she looked very flustered, and was being rather waspish' he laughed 'might have had something to do with that odd goblin though…'

'I noticed that whats with that,' laughs from all round which was followed with a debate about Smyth… whilst I was frozen with shock, more from the fact that I was feeling defensive about Smyth rather than from this sudden revelation about Potter. Lottie nudged me and so we started crawling toward the port hole again.

Unfortunately, as was probably inevitable, they saw us.

It started with one of his friends saying, 'er what are you doing?'

We didn't realize they were talking to us so we carried on before Audley piped up, 'Girls, crawling on the floor, what are you doing?'

Shit, I think is a marvelous word which pretty much describes how we felt.

'Erm… sorry,' we got up, much more dignified standing. 'We…well we erm…' I couldn't speak, luckily Lottie jumped in.

'We got midnight munchies, but we know that it's past curfew and didn't want to be caught by the prefect.' Good enough excuse I could have beamed at her but my face was numb with panic.

'Right and you thought by crawling on the floor we wouldn't notice?' one of the friends piped up… I don't know his name so I shall call him pie-face.

'That was the general idea,' Lottie smiled whilst speaking through her teeth.

'You're not in Ravenclaw!' Audley suddenly stated.

'Yes I am!' Lottie said defensively, 'the world doesn't just revolve around your year you know!'

'No I know you might be, although I've never… noticed you before, but I know Evans isn't. What are you doing here?' Suddenly alert, 'How long were you crawling behind the sofas?

I couldn't speak, so Lottie did… thinking about it, she actually came out with some good excuses.

'She was visiting me, we forgot the time… real reason we didn't want you to see us.' She stared at Audley defiantly. He tried to stare her down, when she didn't budge he smirked an infuriating smile, I could see her hands clench in irritation.

'Ok' he muttered still smiling, 'Boris let her in?'

'No,' she replied casually, 'She had to use the ledge.'

'The ledge? What ledge?' Pie-face obviously never had a girl sneak in to see him.

'The ledge mate!' Audley rolled his eyes, 'so she snuck in through our dorm?' he was still smirking at Lottie. Her face turned moody, and she looked at the ceiling before looking at me. Now this may sound odd, but that is generally how Lottie reacts when she's around someone she's attracted to, but also feels uncomfortable around… Unfortunately Audley it seems had come across that before, his smirk just got bigger.

'Apparently so.' Short and too the point… another sign that I somehow needed to get Lottie out of there… but I couldn't talk, not to mention I was painfully embarrassed.

He pouted slightly, 'Kitchens…' he said looking at her through lowered lashes, nodding slightly, 'I may join you.'

'Awe yeh kitchen trip!' pie-face appears to be a well placed nickname.

'I could murder a butter-beer…' Johnny muttered.

Lottie looked at me then suddenly put a coy smile on her face, her tone remained dark but partnered with the smile it gained a completely different meaning 'why don't you give me a list? I'll bring back a basket, we can have feast…'

Pie-face giggled, 'butter bear, some pie, and cookies and oh whats that other thing that I love?'

'Butter-beer for me then thanks, and I let this one slide… for both of you,' Johnny smiled kindly, he reminded me a bit of Remus.

Audley however had lost his smile, Lottie's change in attitude must have alerted him to something, his eyes remained bright but piercing, Lottie didn't budge so he turned his stare to me. I was surprised at myself, my face remained blank, 'Ok yeh same,' corners of his mouth twitched

We turned; I was out of the port hole, when Johnny suddenly piped up, 'if you're going for a midnight feast why are you still in uniform?'

Lottie turned and flashed a smile over her shoulder at him, before jumping out and slamming the portrait shut, of course Boris complained, then she muttered run.

So we did, grabbing Katie by the arm we half dragged her down the hall before she found her feet, we could here people following us and then the oddest thing happened, one minute I was running the next I was on the floor, as if I'd run into someone but there was no one in the hallway.

Lottie grabbed me and dragged me behind a tapestry; Katie was crouching behind a statue.

They appeared, Audley, and Johnny, pie-face and the others obviously couldn't be bothered…

'Where did they go?' Johnny muttered.

'I have no idea, but I can tell you one thing, that brunette was not in Ravenclaw!'

'What gave it away? The bad excuses or the coy looks?' Audley shook his head laughing good heartedly at his friend's sarcasm.

'God Potters going to kill me!' Audley muttered pulling at his hair.

'He may not find out…'

'True but when he does… He's going to kill me,' Audley grinned laughing, before asking, 'Kitchens?' and they both disappeared.

We waited five minutes then pegged it back to Gryffindor tower where I immediately documented everything in here….

I can't believe he likes me!

My life is so screwed up, why, why do bad things happen to good people… maybe if I go to sleep I won't wake up!

Argh one can hope!

A/N:

Hey, well I'm back for a little bit! I know I haven't updated in about 4 years but I randomly checked my reviews yesterday and couldn't believe someone had reviewed this year! So I decided to give it another go seeing as I'm at uni at the moment and have exams, I wouldn't hope for another up-date soon!

Now I don't have a beta anymore, so spelling, punctuation and grammar don't exist and I haven't written it for years, so it may not be what you're expecting! But let me know what you think!

Also… I am aware that I have made a mistake when it comes to the Ravenclaw commonroom :D but have yet to figure out how to fix… anyway enjoy and I promise it will be fixed!

And remember to REVIEW

Thanks SP
