I went to the bathroom to sort my hair and make-up and headed down to the common room to find Draco teaching Mell how to play wizards chess. She was playing against Blaise and it looked like he was losing….again.
"Hey guys," I said sitting down "How long was it out?"
"About 2 hours" Mell replied looking up from the game.
"Woooow, I must have been tired. So what have you lot been up to?"
"Well we did our homework and then the boys decided to teach me how to play wizards chess."
"Oh yeah, homework. I better start that now."
For about 15 minutes I sat and did half my homework leaving the rest till after dinner.
"Come on you three, its time for dinner and I'm hungry"
"Hold your horses Emma, let us put this away then we will go for dinner"
They put away the wizard's chess then we headed down to dinner. After dinner we went back to the common room to wait for pug face….no wait Pansy. She turned up 15 minutes later. I told her to check her trunk for the book before we went library.
After she left to look for it Blaise said "Reckon she is lying about not remembering which book it was"
"Quite possibly" Draco replied. After 5 minutes she came back down without a book so we headed to the library. 'I can't believe your making me go to the library with you I don't even want to be seen with you four let alone go to the library itself' Pansy snorted.
'Sorry but don't you remember the part where you put a curse Mell and you're threatened with expulsion and possibly your wand being snapped in half?' I snarled as I sent a hateful look towards her in which she immediately backed off and became silent.
Once in the library we silt up into 3 groups Blaise and me, Draco and Pansy and then Mell by herself.
We all took to different sections in the library; me and Blaise took to the Dark Arts section.
'Do you think we'll find it? The book?' Blaise asked.
'I'm not sure. I think Pansy isn't telling the truth to us I think she still has the book' I replied.
"Can you remember what colour the curse was?"
"No"
"Wait here while I go ask pug face."
Walking to where Draco and Pansy where I said "Oi, pu...Pansy what colour was this curse?"
"Erm…" She stuttered.
"Any time today"
"Pink"
"Good, now carry on"
'Shhhh!' Madam Prince hissed.
I mimed an apology and walked back to Blaise as he was rummaging through all sorts of books.
'She said the curse was pink' I whispered.
'Pink? Wow not an ideal colour for a curse if you ask me surely something appropriate like black or something' he chuckled.
'Well atleast we have some information now' I commented.
After a good hour and a half of searching we decided to call it a day and headed back to the common room.
'Guys I need to go and see Hermione she promised she'd help me with something' Mell called as we exited the library.
'Oh okay Mell catch you later then' I called back with a smile.
As she left she grabbed Draco's arm and dragged him with her.
I turned and raised an eye-brow to Blaise who just shrugged and chuckled.
'They should just go out they already practically are' I laughed.
'Draco really surprises me I mean he would normally just ask the girl out but with Mell he seems reluctant like she's something different, this all being in a good way' Blaise said as he entwined his hand into mine.
'I think you should talk to Mell and I'll handle Draco' I suggested.
'Shouldn't you be with Mell? You are sisters'
'Yes but I like to mix things up plus your his best friend she'll want to know more about him and get tips form you anyway and Draco will want to do the same with me' I stated.
'Haha sounds like a brilliant plan I don't mind playing Cupid for a while' He laughed.
We heard a quiet growl and turned back and realised Pansy was walking behind us for the whole of the conversation and looked quite pissed off but she quickly regained composure as she noticed we were looking at her.
'This could lead to some drama some where along the lines' I whispered so she couldn't hear me.
Blaise nodded in response.
When we got to the common room most of the Slytherins were there. Blaise sat on the sofa and seeing as there was no room I went to go sit on the floor near the fire place but suddenly Blaise grabbed my waist and pulled me onto his lap. I yelped in surprise extremely loud earning some amused glances from other Slytherins. The four of us (being me, Mell, Blaise and Draco) get on well with the rest of the house excluding Pansy of course.
