Chapter 10 Discoveries
Sam and Riley plopped down in the common room with half an hour to spare before supper. Their arms were covered in burns from the skrewts. "That was the most painful detention I've been through yet" Riley said, tears stinging her eyes because she had been burned far worse than Sam had.
Sam looked at Riley. "Are you sure you don't want to go to the hospital wing?" she asked and Riley shook her head no. "I'm a tough witch. I can deal with it...as long as no one touches it anyways" she sniffed. Sam glanced towards the portrait hole and saw Draco and Blaise clamber through. "Guy alert" Sam said and Riley took of towards the bathroom to get herself to stop crying.
Draco watched her go and then turned to Sam. "Where's she going?" he asked her. "Where does it look like? Obviously the bathroom" she said while rolling her eyes, catching a glimpse of Blaise who sat down beside her.
"Why was she crying?" he demanded. "Detention, skrewts, burned the worst. Need I say more?" Sam asked and Draco headed towards the bathroom. "Umm you might wanna stay out of there, she's really sore" Sam said, but Draco merely shrugged and said
"We had skrewts in fourth year, and luckily I still have some of the antidote left we made from the burns." Sam raised and eyebrow but let Draco go and turned to Blaise and talked to him for a while.
By dinner Riley was feeling better, much to Draco's relief. He couldn't stand it when she cried. The antidote had not healed her burns, but had stopped the constant pain. "Saaaaam." Riley sang and she plopped down next to her . "I love you!" She gushed, pulling Sam into a hug. "Oook. Can you let go now?" Sam asked weakly patting her on the back.
Sam didn't really like hugs. At least not in public. "Awww muffin. Ok." Riley released her and then turned to give Draco a hug. Draco was used to this by now and continued to eat as Riley clung to him.
Sam rolled her eyes. "I'm glad to see you're feeling better." Riley let go of Draco. "Yeah I'm feeling happy. And Cool." She grinned. "Like an ice cube?" Sam asked. "Yeah man." "Cool." Riley suddenly noticed the empty seat next to Sam. "Hey, where did Blaisey go?" Sam frowned. "I don't know. He was bein' all weird and I was like pffft fine you be that way and then he was. The end." She shrugged. "It's all a mystery."
Riley smiled "I know why he's acting alll weird. Cause he thinks I told you!" Sam looked at her curiously. "Tell me what!" "That he likes you!" Riley giggled. "He told me while we were cleaning out poop!"
Sam looked at her in disbelief "Really?" "Well...he didn't actually SAY he liked you but I got the drift." "Oh...well that's great. But it probably wrong. The point being. I like chicken and there is none tonight." She looked sadly at the table. It had every food imaginable but no chicken.
Sam stalked back to the common room with Draco and Riley, still pouty that there had been no chicken. "Aww, I know something that will cheer Sammy Wammy up!" Riley said all bubbly and cheery. "Does it involve chicken or mashed potatoes?" Sam asked thoughtfully.
Riley thought for a minute. "Nah, past supper but come on let's go to the kitchens!" Riley skipped down the hallways singing to her favorite Spice Girl song as Draco and Sam walked behind her.
"What have I gotten myself into?" Draco asked while laughing slightly at Riley's behavior. Sam turned to him. "She gets like this, but man you do NOT want to see her on the rag, she's a monster!" Draco chuckled a bit. "I'll keep that in mind." "But hey" Sam suddenly said, "You were the one who had sex with her, not me!" Sam broke out laughing as Dracos pale cheeks tinged pink.
"Tickly tickly tickly pear!" Riley sang while tickling the pear. The door opened and Riley ran in and whispered something to the elves who scurried about anxiously.
"Sam you're so going to love me for this!" Riley said and plopped herself between Sam and Draco. Suddenly a very large lemon pie and three cafe mocha's popped up on the table and Sam grinned. "Aww, how did you know?" She asked while taking a hunk of pie on her fork.
She then took a sip of her cafe mocha and snuggled down into her chair. "I've missed you my friend" she then said to her cup and started petting it. Riley looked up at Draco. "See, I can make everyone happy!"
"I know how you can make me happy." Draco said suggestively and place a hand on her thigh. Riley giggled and turned slightly pink. She looked up at him and he smiled seductively. "Maybe later...?" He said. Riley nodded "Yeah" She said quietly.
Luckily Sam was missing this entire exchange, too caught up in her coffee and pie to notice. Had she noticed it she would have gone into hysterics. "Mmmm...pie." She said dreamily. "How do I love thee? Oh let me count the ways." "Aww Sam's so smart. Quoting Shakespeare." Riley smiled and patted her on the head.
"Hey! Don't touch the hair. It's working for me today!" Sam said, and smoothed her hair back into place. "Well fine. You just be a jerk." Riley sniffed. "Your mom's a jerk!" Sam said. "No she's not. People love my mom." "It's a true story. They do. I love her 'cause she cooks for me."
Draco coughed "Well I'm going to go look for Blaise. I'll see you later." He shot Riley a meaningful look and headed for the door. Riley smiled insanely. "What was that about?" Sam asked, eyeing her friend. Riley feigned innocence.
"What was what about?" "That...'I'll see YOU later' and then the look." "I have no idea what you're talking about." Riley said and grabbed a huge spoonful of pie. "Suuure. Fine then don't tell me." Sam said. "Ok I wont." Riley shoved the pie in her mouth and smiled.
Sam continued to stare at Riley. "He said he'd see me later, no biggie" Riley said and took come more pie. Sam snorted. "He meant in the sack didn't he?" she asked, pie dribbling down her chin from grinning so broadly.
Riley turned red. "Or in the closet, or the shower, or you know even the owlery, whichever way you wanna put it." Sams jaw dropped. "You've done it in the owlery!" Riley turned, if possible, even more red. "Well we were going to but Mrs. Norris caught us so we stuck to the shower." Riley tried to hide her face behind her mug but that didn't work.
"You did it in the shower? I've always wanted to do it in the shower. What's it like?" Sam asked grinning insanely. Riley giggled. "Why don't you grab Blaise and find out, meow!" Sam pushed Riley who laughed and they both finished up the pie.
After the pie they headed back to the common room where they started working on the astronomy charts that were due the next day. "Why are your Saturn and my Saturn in completely different places?" Sam groaned. "Because you're looking at my chart upside down" Riley said matter-of-factually.
Draco and Blaise came over and sat down with them. "The next Hogsmeade trip is posted. It's this weekend" Blaise said to no one in particular. They continued talking until 11 then they all departed for their dorms, except for Draco and Riley who stayed a few extra minutes to 'talk'.
Sam sniggered as she hid behind the corner listening to the conversation. "Meet me down here around 12:30?" Draco asked Riley while holding her hands. "You betcha" she grinned and kissed Draco and headed for the staircase that Sam dashed up quickly.
"So what do YOU have planned tonight?" Sam asked Riley as she came into the dorm. "None of your business" Riley said and then got dressed and turned to act as if she were sleeping, but Sam heard her an hour and a half later get up and creep down to the common room.
She smiled slightly. "She's such a lying liar. They're having hott sex." Her pillow was the only one that heard this. Sam rolled and pulled the covers over her head. "Stupid poop..." She muttered sleepily.
The next morning she was rudely awoken by loud screams. Sam sat up drowsily and poked her head out of the bed curtains. She saw Riley doing the same. "What IS it?" Riley asked. Sam shook her head and looked at the clock. They still had at least another hour of sleep before they had to get up for breakfast. "I don't even care." She grumbled and fell back in bed.
Riley was about to get up and see what it was about when Pansy came charging out of the bathroom, with two of her 'friends' behind her. "Pink no more!" She shrieked triumphantly. Riley just blinked. "That's was what you were screaming for?" Pansy smiled "Yes. Waking you up was just a bonus." She nodded to her followers and headed for the door.
"Freakin bitch." Riley heard Sam mutter. "Your mom is." Riley said, before plopping back in her own bed. "Riiiiley?" Sam called. "Yeah?" "We're gonna have to do something else to her you know." "Yeah. Something super evil!" "Yeah man! Totally!"
The dormitory settled into sleepy silence once more. Riley was just asleep when she heard Sam. "So how was the sex last night?" Riley grinned widely, though nobody could see her. "Great even though the astronomy tower is REALLY chilly at night." She grinned even wider as she heard Sam dissolve into giggles.
They were finally up for good and off to Defense Against the Dark Arts with Professor Stravan. He was new this year and fairly good although he was balding and slightly nervous at times. He was quite jumpy when loud, unexpected noises were made, which is why Sam always made sure to bring extra noise makers from Hogsmeade to class with her. Once she had even made the poor guy pass out.
Riley and Sam sat together at the back of the room, Draco and Blaise in front of them. "So people on our list to do stuff to hmmm.." Riley said while twirling her quill between her fingers. Draco turned around suddenly and said "Do stuff to in a kinky way? Cause I definitely wouldn't mind that." Riley blushed and then said "Oh you." Sam cleared her throat. "You had your fun last night, now shhh quiet, we're making a revenge list" Sam said.
Pansy turned to Draco and batted her eyelashes at him which made Riley snap her quill in half. "Number one, Pansy" Sam said seeing Riley's reaction. "Sorry" Riley said while running a hand through her hair. "I tend to get jealous. Even ask Cody...""I don't wanna hear about the horrible ex. Remember, all I need is bacon and lions and I'm all set" Sam said interrupting Riley's talk of the ex.
Hermoine then raised her hand to answer a question and Sam immediately put her name down. "Anyone else?" she asked Riley. "How bout Snape? Or McGonagall?" Riley asked. Sam just stared at her. "They're teachers. No WAY!" Riley pouted at Sam's comment.
"Ok well can we at least make plans for the day we graduate?" Riley asked. Sam thought about that for a moment. "You're on!" "Awesome!" Riley grinned. "They wont know what hit them." "Yeah. It will be like they were bum raped." Sam said.
Riley, Draco, and Blaise stared at her "How would you know how that feels?" Riley asked. Sam blinked. "I was obviously bum raped before." She said. They continued to stare and Sam giggled. "Riley did it!" "OOooooo! YEAH! I remember that!" Riley nodded, "That time with the lasagna right?" "Yeah totally! That was sooo hott!" Sam smiled. "I'm not sure I really want to know what you're talking about." Draco said.
Sam and Riley managed to go the whole day without getting a detention, and hurried down to Hagrids as soon as potions was finished. "Are you two ready to take the skrewts for their walks?" Hagrid asked handing them their leashes. Sam took hers but Riley gulped. "Do we have to?" She whined. Hagrid gave her a stern look. "I just don't wanna get burned again. Did you see my arms yesterday! How can you keep those things here! Why are they even allowed! Has Dumbledore even seen these things!"
Hagrid just stared at her in shock. "Well er if you two don't think this is an appropriate detention then maybe I should get you to look after one of the other creatures" He said, looking slightly hurt from Riley's blow up.
Both faces lit up as he led them to an area with fences all around. He gave a loud whistle and out from the forest came three female unicorns. "Ooo shiny!" Sam declared. "Well" Hagrid beamed.
"We have to keep them here away from Lord Voldemort so he doesn't try to become immortal again. No one would like that now, would they?"
Harry became curiously quiet at the mention of Voldemort. Sam and Riley weren't really aware of how serious the threat of the Dark Lord was. "No way." Riley said. "Dude! That guy is so creepy!" Sam shuddered. Riley nodded her agreement.
"I mean he's like Hitler. But a wizard. And he didn't have a moustache either. And instead of Jews we have half blood wizards and muggle borns. And then you have the Polish..." Sam was silenced mid rant by all the looks she was receiving. "What! So I took a muggle history course." "How do you remember all that junk?" Riley asked, amazed. Sam shrugged, "Don't know." "Who's Hitler and what the bloody hell are Jews?" Ron demanded. "Hitler was this guy that burned Jews." Sam explained. Ron still looked confused. "Never mind man." Riley said.
"Let's play with the unicorns now!" She smiled and pranced over to a unicorn happily.
After playing with the unicorns for a while, Riley and Sam skipped back up to the castle, leaving Ron and Harry alone with Hagrid for some of his "specialty" cakes.
They continued to skip arm-in-arm into the Great Hall and plopped down at the Slytherin table. "Why does it always seem like we have chicken?" Riley asked. "No clue" Sam said, biting a chunk out of a chicken leg. "But it sure is yummy!"
Sam and Riley ate quickly and went up to their common room. Draco and Blaise were in a low conversation and didn't bother looking up as the girls enter. "Pfft fine, don't look when the hottest girls in Hogwarts walk in" Sam exclaimed dramatically.
Pansy walked over with her eyebrow raised. "You really think you're the hottest girl in Hogwarts?" She asked, sniggering slightly. "You aren't even Slytherin material so there is no way that you're hott" Pansy finished. "You want a bet?" Riley asked through gritted teeth. And before Pansy could even think of answering, both Sam and Riley lunged at her.
And just like that Pansy was down and out. Of course Blaise and Draco eventually had the sense to break up the fight. In the process Draco received a punch in the eye and Blaise was elbowed hard in the stomach. Pansy was taken in the hospital wing in hysterics, screaming threats at Sam and Riley.
Draco swore loudly and clutched his face. "Aww I'm sorry! I didn't mean to!" Riley cried, giving him a hug. "That messed up my hair." Sam sighed, trying to fix her tangled hair. "Nice left hook by the way." She added to Riley. "Thanks. It was slick when you kneed her in the box." Riley said, dusting herself off. "Yeah it was pretty sweet." "Sweet Ass!" "You two are insane." Blaise breathed heavily. "She called us unhot! We had to!" Riley sniffed. "Yeah she deserved it." Sam agreed.
Blaise and Draco shook their heads and started to talk in low voices again. Sam bounced over to them. "Watcha doing?" She asked, her face in between the both of theirs. "Could you leave us alone? It's private" Draco said in a bored tone.
Blaise then turned to Sam. "I need to talk to you later so stick around if you can" he said and turned back to Draco. Sam walked back over to Riley. "And?" Riley asked. "They won't let me talk to them! I think they're planning their gay sex." Riley just stared at Sam. "Sorry to disappoint you, but Draco is NOT gay. He's with me remember?"
Sam looked at Riley for a moment. "But you're forgetting. Blaise is le single. And the two have known each other for how long? They're obviously attracted to each other!" Riley just rolled her eyes. "Whatever you say mate."
"Did you just call me mate!" Sam giggled. "Anyway whatever. I think they'd be hott together don't you?" Riley hid a smile. "NO! That's my boyfriend we're talking about!" She said. "Yeah you think they'd be hott." Sam grinned. "I don't!" Riley blushed. "Whatever you say mate." Sam mocked Riley's tone. "Shut up jerk." Riley glared at her.
Sam shrugged "Can't help it that I know you so well. Blaise said he wanted to talk to me after they were done. What does he want to talk to me for?" Riley rolled her eyes "To ask you to Hogsmeade silly!" She smiled. "And you'll say yes and then you two will be a couple and have hott and kinky sex and then we can go on double dates!" "You really have this all planned out don't you?" Sam chuckled. Riley nodded "Friggin right I do! And it WILL happen. Or else..."
About an hour later Blaise and Draco had finally gotten out of their little corner of the room (God knows what they were doing…maybe Sam was right) and headed over to where the two girls were doing their potions essay. "Pfft finally done with your gay sex?" Sam asked as Blaise sat down next to her.
Draco and Blaise exchanged glances before pulling out their potions homework as well. "Man, this is so boring" Riley complained and then looked over to Sam and Blaise. Blaise had his arm along the couch where Sam was sitting. Riley nudges Draco in the rib cage and he flinched.
"Owww" he complained but shut up as he looked at the two of them. "Umm come on Riley, I'm feeling kinky. Let's try the owlery again, and if not there then the prefects bathroom since I can get us in" He said with a small wink in Blaises direction.
Sam bit on the end of her pencil while thinking of a conclusion and Blaise turned to face her. "So umm got a date for Hogsmeade?" Blaise asked. "Nope" Sam mumbled. "Wanna go with me?" he asked.
Sam looked up from her potions essay and blinked. "Huh?" She asked blankly. Blaises cheeks were slightly flushed. "Do you want to go to Hogsmeade with me?" He asked again. Sam smiled widely "Ok." She said.
Blaise let out a sigh of relief and smiled back at her. "Excellent. Yeah..." He sighed. Sam laughed at his reaction. "Yeahhh Excellent." She grinned, before turning back to her potions essay.
Blaise sat silently for a moment before speaking again. "So uh..that's it?" Sam raised an eyebrow "Yes...? Was there supposed to be something else?" Blaise turned red again before shaking his head. "No...no." He mumbled.
Sam shot him a strange look and then began writing once again. He pushed his hair back a few times. "It's just that-" Blaise began . "BLAISE! What the hell is wrong with you!" Sam demanded, chucking her quill and paper to the side. "Christ on a cracker! Just say whatever it is you're trying to say!"
"Well erm never mind then. I'll see you tomorrow. I should probably get some sleep" he said and hurried up the stairs quickly but not before quickly kissing Sams cheek. "Wah…" Sam said to herself and held her hand to her cheek as he disappeared into his dorm.
MEANWHILE… "There are way too many feathers in here!" Riley exclaimed as they entered the owlery. "And poop too!" She said dodging some owl poop that was falling from the ceiling. Draco frowned.
"You're right" he sighed and took her hand and led her to the prefects bathroom. Draco whispered the password quietly, but stopped himself when he heard noises coming from the inside. "Who's that?" Riley asked but Draco covered her mouth with his hand.
Riley pouted as Draco turned around the corner to peek inside but he suddenly dropped his hand. Riley moved to where Draco was and popped her head around the corner.
"THEODORE AND HERMOINE!" Riley gasped in shock. Both heads turned and tried to cover their nakedness with towels as Riley and Draco ran down the hallway.
