"AHEM!"
This made the two stop and in a snap were away from each other as Sakura and Diaz looked at Madam Pomfrey who was looking at them with an arched brow.
"I would like to inform you Mr. Clawford that you are fully healed and could go back in your house, but I would like for you to rest up for a few days and not exhaust yourself." She said as Diaz nodded as he stood up help by Sakura, when they were near the door.
"And no snogging either!" she said making the two stop and flushed as they turn and looked at the grinning Pomfrey.
"MADAM POMFREY!" Sakura hissed
She laughed, "Snogging could exhaust Mr. Clawford, Ms. Haruno." She said teasingly earning a glare from Sakura and a laughed from Diaz who nodded as they both headed out the infirmary and headed to the great hall for dinner.
…
On to the story…
Slytherin Table…
Draco arched a brow as he noticed Sakura and Diaz entered and headed to their table, Sakura who was still flushed and Diaz who was grinning at them widely, as they all wondered what happened in the infirmary.
Pansy then asked what's in everyone's mind, "Why are you grinning like that Clawford? Did something good happen in the infirmary?" she asked looking at Diaz then to Sakura who blushes more and looked away from their stares.
Diaz chuckled and putted an arm in Sakura's waist, "I got a date this weekend in Hogsmeade." He replied earning a gape from all of them except Draco who was looking at Sakura.
Pansy then squealed and putted and holds Sakura's hand, "You and Diaz are going out now? I'm so happy from you guys."
Sakura blinked as she flushes again but was able to answer, "We are just going out, because of the bet. That doesn't mean that he is already my boyfriend." She said earning a sigh of relief from Crabbe and Goyle.
Diaz frowned as he gotten an idea and lean to Sakura's ear and whispered, "If I'm not your boyfriend yet, why did I feel in your kiss earlier that you want me to be."
Sakura shivered and flushed more and pouted, "Shut it, Diaz." She replied as she then headed to a seat beside Draco.
Diaz laughed while the others wondered what he said to her earning a flushed from the non-magic muggle as he seated in front of Sakura and Draco with the others.
Sakura then looked at Draco and smiled, "What are you guys talking about when we were still in the infirmary?"
"Nothing much, mostly about how we lost the match." He replied still frustrated from their teams lost.
Sakura chuckled, "You did well Draco, it's not your fault that the team lost just because you can't get the snitch early than Harry."
"I guess you're right."
She smiled, "You were really good too! You were so fast." She cheered Draco up as he looked at her and smirked.
"Of course I am! I'm the fastest seeker." He said earning a laughed from Diaz who was a bit jealous seeing the two.
"Yeah, but you always lost to Potter." He said earning a glare from Draco.
Draco and Diaz looked at each other, Draco with an arched brow and Diaz with an antagonistic smirk.
(Clawford— just because you have a date with Sakura, doesn't mean she's yours.. She is mine! And every Malfoy gets everything that they want.) Draco thought
(Malfoy—no way I'll let you have Sakura's attention all the time.) Diaz thought
Sakura went to Pansy and the other guys, "I wonder when will they stop debating in their minds." She said to them
Pansy laughed, "Well—they seem to be fighting on something, that's for sure."
Crabbe snorted, "I think I know who they are fighting for. Right, Goyle?" he said looking at Goyle who nodded.
"Surely it is her."
"Her?" Pansy asked widening eyes full of horror, "Draco has someone he likes!" she screeched making Sakura putted a hand in her ears and also Crabbe and Goyle while Diaz and Draco stopped and looked at them.
Pansy run and clutch into Draco, "Draco- tell me you don't like someone. Please tell me that's not true." She said
Diaz laughed, "Well—Malfoy here does like the girl I also like."
Pansy looked at him, "What's the name of the girl?"
Diaz looked at Sakura who shook her head, "I think it's still not time to tell you who the girl is."
Crabbe approach Pansy and ruffled her hair, "Yeah, Diaz is right. You might hex the girl if you find out who she is, Diaz is only cautious."
Diaz wave his hand, "Now—now, enough of the girl both Draco and I like.. It's time for dinner so let's all eat now." He said as they all nodded as they started to eat.
….
They were eating quietly making Sakura think of the howler that Sasuke send earlier lunch time, when a finger snaps in front of her making her look at the grinning Diaz who was now seating beside her, making her in the middle of Draco and him.
"Glad I have your attention now." He said making Sakura frowned
Crabbe then looked at Sakura, "What's wrong?"
Goyle added, "You seem to be thinking deep."
Sakura looked at them and noticed their concerned faces, "I'm just worried about a while ago, with the howler that everyone have even me."
"The howler with the ancient language?" Draco asked making Sakura looked at him and tilted her head in question.
Pansy chuckled, "The professors were saying that it was an ancient language three hundred years ago." She informed her as she nodded.
"It is also said that it is use by the ancient warrior." Diaz added
Sakura was now thinking deep in her thought biting her lower lip which made Diaz and Draco noticed her nervousness.
(Shit! If they studied this ancient language which is our language, things are going to get ugly. What am I going to do?) she thought panicking in her mind.
She then looked at them and asked, "Did you guys studied it, the language of the ancient warriors?"
Pansy shook her head to her, "No one studied it, not even the professors. They don't even know how to translate it even just a few words."
Sakura heave a sigh of relief which noticed by the two beside her, (I thought they would find out.. Good thing they don't know how to translate it.) she thought
Diaz frowned looking at Sakura's worried face then relief when no one knows about the language, (Why does she seemed worried about the professors if they know the language.) he thought
Draco met Sakura's eyes who look away, (It seems you are hiding something more, Sakura. Do you know how to speak Ancient.) he was still looking at Sakura who was looking away and biting her lower lip.
He leaned over at her making Diaz cock a brow and others frowned as he whispered, "Are you an ancient warrior?" he asked as Sakura fully stiff at him making him chuckled in his mind. (Bingo!) he thought happily.
Diaz glared at Draco, "Are you okay Saks?"
Sakura looked at Diaz and smiled, "I'm okay, Draco is just being an ass."
"Hey!"
"Anyway—shouldn't professors studied it?" she asked looking at them
Pansy shrugged her shoulders, "They said that it's hard to understand that language, that is why they didn't bother on studying it. Are you interested in that language?" she asked
Sakura gulped knowing full well that Draco is looking at her intensely waiting for her answer, "Yup. I think it's cool learning that language." she replied to them.
Draco chuckled, "I think you shouldn't learn that language, it is from a hundred years from now and use only by their ancient warrior. You a muggle shouldn't learn it." He leaned again and whispered, "Or should I say you already know it, because you're an ancient war- OUCH!" he rubs his stomach where Sakura elbowed.
Sakura glared at him making him laughed inside, (Be thankful I only elbowed you lightly, or else you will have broken ribs.) she thought
"DRACO!" Pansy hissed on Draco's remark but is wondering what Draco whispered making Sakura elbowed him.
"Even if it's an ancient warrior language, I like to learn it. I guess not this time, I still need to study more first in our class because I'm new to this things." she replied
Diaz sighed, (I guess I won't find out, what Draco seem to know about Sakura.) he thought as he said, "Enough of that you guys, let's just head to the common room and rest our mind about that ancient thing." Diaz said to them who nodded.
When they were finished eating all of them then headed to the Slytherin Lair.
…..
Slytherin Common Room…
When they were about to arrive Sakura stops making them look at her.
Pansy tilted her head, "What's wrong Saks?" she asked.
Sakura smiled to them and scratches her head, "I kinda forgot to go to professor Dumbledore, he said he wants to talk to me more." She said to them as her eyes meet Draco who was a bit concerned at her which Diaz noticed as he feels a sting in his heart on the two's eye exchange.
(You're going to talk about the howler. I knew it, you know something about it Sakura.) Draco thought
Diaz then putted a hand in her waist making Sakura snap in her thought and look at him, "Diaz?" she asked
"Do you want me to come with you? I can't leave you alone in the halls- you know." He said protectively.
Sakura chuckled, "Don't worry too much Diaz, it's just a few walks from professor Dumbledore's room." She said making Diaz frowned
"But!- a girl walking alone in the hall is still dangerous." He protested making Sakura smiled
"I'll be fine Diaz." She said as she look at the others, meeting Draco's eyes who cocks a brow as if saying you-are-going to-tell-me-about-it-later-ancient. "I'll see you guys later." She said to them as she then headed out the common room to go to professor Dumbledore room.
….
Near the entrance to Dumbledore's room…
Sakura saw Professor Snape came out the entrance as it close again with the gargoyle.
Snape turned around as he heard footsteps heading his way, and was surprised seeing the non-magic muggle looking at him in return.
"What are you doing roaming around this late at night Ms. Haruno? Shouldn't you be in your house by now with the others." He said in a strict voice narrowing his eyes and looking at her eyes as he noticed that she has the same color like the ancient warrior making him remember what happened before.
Sakura then noticed Professor Snape in deep thought making her confused, "What's wrong professor?" she asked tilting her head.
Snape shook his head and coughed, "It's nothing.. Now What are you doing here this late? Give me a good reason or I'll deduct points even if I'm the head of your house."
(She has the same eyes like her. The only difference is that the girl is older and also different hair color.) he thought as he shook his head again. (I shouldn't think of her, she is an enemy! A warrior that could kill us in an instant.) he thought
Sakura pouted at Snape, "Well- Professor Dumbledore said if I have some time he wants to ask me on what I think of Hogwarts as a non-magic muggle. That is why I am here, because this is my free time." She replied making Snape looked at her if she is indeed lying but sees she is saying the truth.
Sakura crosses her arms and frowned, "You don't believe me, don't you professor?"
He smirked and crosses his arms, "I'm a bit suspicious, but I guess you won't be lying about talking to Dumbledore." He said and walk towards her, "Sherbet Lemon." He said to her
Sakura tilted her head, "Hmmm?"
"The password on the gargoyle statue that leads you to his room." He replied as she nodded
"Yes, thank you professor." she replied with a bow as he heard her said the password in front of the gargoyle and headed to Dumbledore's room.
(Why do I remember that girl when I saw Sakura's eyes, they almost looked the same.) he thought walking in the halls to see if some students are still roaming around.
…
Dumbledore's room…
The door open again as Dumbledore wonder why Snape came back to his room again, "Yes, what is it again Severus?" he said as he turned around and saw Sakura instead.
Sakura smiled, "I thought you might need me to give you information about what that letter said." She stated as Dumbledore nodded and motioned her to sit in the chair near him.
She then looked at Dumbledore seriously, "It seems they are much looking for you than Harry.." she informed her making Dumbledore's eyes twinkling on what he found out as she looked at Fawkes.
"Why did you say that? Shouldn't Harry be much more important than me? That they will definitely look for him than me." he asked looking at her who is now playing with the phoenix.
"Phoenix are rare for a pet, but it's said that their tears could heal any kinds of wounds." she said then realize that she was out of topic, "Sorry professor."
Dumbledore chuckled as he shook his head, "There is nothing to be sorry about. You are indeed right about Fawkes, phoenixes have great healing magic." He then looked at her, "Now let's get back to what we are talking about earlier. What is it that letter said during lunch time?"
"It seems he is desperately looking for you and Harry."
"Doesn't he know I'm the Headmaster of Hogwarts?"
Sakura shrugged, "It seems not, because he said wherever you are hiding he will kill you." She said looking at her as she added, "He was saying he's going to kill you Albus Dumbledore." She then crosses her arms and putted a finger in her chin, "I think I have a little hint why he wants to kill you, but still- let's not jump to conclusions. For now I'll protect you and Harry with my life." she said with a smile.
"Thank you Ms. Haruno." Albus replied with a bow.
"I should be going now it's already late. Professor Snape already warn me about deducting house points." She then looked at her, "I'll inform you again professor if I found out something new." She then headed out.
…..
While Sakura was heading to the stairways she bumped into someone and stumbled in the floor.
"Sorry about that." Someone said as he helps Sakura up.
"It's okay." She said as she stood up.
"George let's hurry before Percy saw us." Another one said from behind the guy who was carrying some stolen food.
Sakura watch the two guys, tilting her head a bit, (I've seen them before.. Ahhh! They're Ron's twin brothers.) she thought.
"I'm really sorry about that, Miss." The one who helped Sakura said
The other looked at her, "You know- you shouldn't wonder this kind of late." The guy said.
"Dumbledore wanted to talk to me in my free time, and this is my free time so I went to his room." Sakura reasoned
The guy grinned and looked at his twin, "Hey bro! Maybe we could reason that to Percy?" he said
The other shook his head, "No way- I'm sure he'll know were lying to him."
"Umm.." Sakura began.
The other guy looked at her, "What is it?"
She intertwined her fingers and looked at her feet, "Are you Ron's brothers?" she asked shyly.
They were shocked hearings Ron's name from a cute girl the one who helped her then putted his hands in Sakura's shoulder, "Are you our brother's girlfriend?"
The other twin also looked at her making her blush, "Ron never said she had a cute girlfriend."
Sakura then flushed more, "I'm not really he's girlfriend but a friend of his."
"WHAT!" they both said
The one whose hand is in Sakura's shoulder shook his head, "Ron is wasting the time of his life."
The other twin nodded, "This is his chance to have a girlfriend and all."
Then they stopped and looked at her again, "I'm George by the way." he said with a grinned and move to the other his right arm in his shoulder.
Then Fred's left arm are putted in George shoulder, "and I'm Fred." he also said with a grinned.
Sakura chuckled, "Sakura Haruno, nice meeting you both." she said with a smile making them blush.
….
"HEY YOU TWO! I KNEW IT! YOU GUYS WERE THE ONE THAT STOLE FOOD!"
They all looked and saw a prefect.
"Oh no! Percy saw us!" Fred shouted in panic as he then holds Sakura's hand as they ran, with George in the long stairways.
"HEY! STOP!" Percy shouted behind them.
"Let's go back to our house, Sakura." Fred added still holding at her while they ran through the stairs
(But I'm not a Gryffindor..) She thought.
When they were almost at the Gryffindor tower Fred's hand slips making Sakura loose her balance and was about to fall in the stairs.
"Sakura!" Fred shouted while George was shocked, Percy was just in time on seeing this as he then ran as fast as he could and hold Sakura to steady her.
Sakura was a bit shock not because of her slipping up, but from Percy helping her up like a helpless girl. (After all I am a ninja, I can't get hurt with just falling in some stairs.) she thought
Fred and George ran through her, "Are you okay?" they both asked full of concern
Sakura shook her head, "I'm okay.." she replied to then as she looked at Percy, "Thanks for rescuing me." she said to him.
Percy sighed a relief and glared at his brothers, "You two are going to be punish for doing this! Why did you drag Haruno anyway?"
"You know her, Percy?" Fred asked with a cock of eyebrow
George clapped his hand, "Maybe she's Percy's girlfriend?" he said with a grinned as the twins saw the two flushed.
Percy shook his head and said, "She's the non-muggle Dumbledore introduced. Don't you two remember." he informed the twin.
"Oh! Yeah! You do-"
"Look like her."
Percy glared at the twins who rub their head, "Now apologize to her. You guys drag her into your mess." He ordered making the two stiff in the intense glare Percy is giving,
The two then bow their head to Sakura, "Sorry, we drag-" Fred said
"You into our mess." George finish.
Sakura chuckled, "It's okay—I guess I'll be heading to my house now. They might get worried about me."
The twins tilted their head in confusion, "You're not Gryffindor?" George asked making Fred frown not getting to say anything.
Sakura smiled to them, "Nope George, I'm Slytherin."
Percy cocked a brow as he observed his siblings and Sakura, (Are you sure that is George that you are talking to? Even I get confuse on those two.) He thought.
The twins were surprised that Sakura know their difference but they were able to hide it in their faces as they tried to play with her.
George then pointed to himself, "I'm not George."
She tilted her head and looked at him, "You are- and that's Fred.." she replied as she pointed at Fred
Fred crosses his arms while Percy watch now in interest, "I'm not Fred." he said
Sakura crosses her arms and pouted, "All right, all right! Stop playing games you two cause I'm not! I'm not in the mood for games, but if you two want to know how I know the difference of you two it's the eyes." she said to them. (I don't need to be played at, especially if he's in here, looking for Dumbledore and Harry.) she thought
"Why'd you say that?" Fred asked
She then looked at Fred who disturbed her thoughts, "I know that you are twins with almost the same appearance and everything, but despite all that you two are still different. I guess the way your eyes react on what you're doing shows who's who." She replied as she then looked at Percy and smiled.
"Thanks for rescuing me again, I should be going now." she said as she waved goodbye to them and headed to the Slytherin Lair.
…..
Percy looked at the retreating form of Sakura then to his brothers who seemed amazed by the girl's words, "This is your first time before mom that someone guess right from the two of you." he said
Fred then rubbed his head, "I think she just guess that right today."
George then added, "It's called beginners luck, Percy.."
Percy laughed at the awe and amaze faces of his brothers.
"WHY ARE YOU LAUGHING?" they both said
"I take it that you two are now interested on our non-magic muggle?" he asked looking at their reaction who both blush as the twins look at each other.
"You like her!" Fred shouted to George
"So are you!" he replied
Percy chuckled and putted his hands on both their shoulders, "Now, now- let's head back before the professors notice you two mopping around." He said to them as they headed back to the Gryffindor tower.
….
Gryffindor Common Room…
The three then entered and saw the trio still awake..
The twins then waved their hands, "Hi Harry, Ronnikins and-" George said
"Hermione. We bought you guys some food.." Fred finished as they both grinned at them
Percy just seated in the couch as he drinks some hot chocolate.
The trio looked at Percy who aren't lecturing the two about stealing as they looked at the two who was still grinning at them, "YOU STOLE AGAIN?" Hermione hissed
"Is there a chocolate frog?" Ron asked while Fred nodded as he tossed him some
"Aren't the professors going to get angry about knowing this?" Harry asked looking at the stolen chocolate and some other snacks
Percy then replied for him, "I didn't report them- for now."
The twins looked at their brother and thumbs up, "That's our brother!" they both said
Percy then looked at Ron, "Hey Ron?" he asked
"``at?" he asked as he chew a chocolate
"That Haruno is interesting.." he said making Ron choked as Harry stood up and immediately help him.
Hermione then seated next to Percy, "You met Sakura today?"
"Yup."
Harry then intervened, "Oh yeah! Maybe she went to Dumbledore, he did say that he wanted to talk to her." He said to them
Ron then cock a brow looking at his brother, "What made you say that? Are you interested on her—dear brother?" Ron teased.
Percy chuckled, "No—I'm not. She just knows who is Fred and George in just one looked and also they are the ones who like her."
Both twins then blushed and replied. "We don't like her!"
Ron then smiled evilly as he looked at his brothers, "Maybe I'll tell her tomorrow that my two brothers like her."
George and Fred glared at him, "No, you won't!"
