"I told Kelly you were stalking me!" Daisy said with a raised voice. "I told her countless times, but she told me I was imagining things, but here is the proof. You are stalking me!" And to believe she had almost starting to believe her best friend!
"Here is your medicine, dear," madam Abbott said, to intervene in the tantrum rage her pupil was throwing. It was exactly what Daisy needed to remind her that she was in the hospital wing and healers had to be professional. It was the best time to practice doing so. Daisy bit the inside of her cheek, to keep in her screams, before she took the vial out of madam Abbott's hand and gave it to Potter.
"I hope it will stop your nosebleed," Daisy said with a forced smile on her face. Okay, she also did it, because she did wanted to see his face when he drank the disgusting 'potion'. He deserved it for what he did to her all these years.
Potter kept quiet while he took the vial from Daisy's hands and didn't even sniff it, but downed it all at one go, his face scrunched up in disgust. Daisy couldn't help but let a chuckle escape her lips. She was mad, extremely so, but she could see the humor in the situation.
"Perhaps it would be time to eat the other half of the candy," madam Abbott said with an amused smile on her face. Fred's and Potter's faces went instantly red.
"You knew?" Fred asked in surprise. Daisy gave the prankster a look, they really thought they were smart by attempting this trick?
"I went to school here, when your father and uncle tested those," madam Abbott said with a smile on her face and even with the smile on her face, she still looked stern. Daisy admired the look, it would be cool if she could put off the same face. It looked like it needed a lot of practice. Did they teach that in healer school? It looked like something to come in handy when she was a healer.
Fred quickly took out the candy from his pocket and silently gave it to his cousin. As soon as Potter started chewing on the candy, his nosebleed that had been bleeding non-stop, stopped. Daisy put the map in her pocket. Not going unnoticed with Fred, but he knew he was in no position to argue. They had been using the map to spy on her. A look of shame crossed his face.
"Albus, wait!" Daisy yelled at the black haired Slytherin, when she saw him in the hallway. She quickly run up to him, when the younger boy stopped. The young blond boy next to him, looked at her in question. She only saw Scorpius on the party's they both were forced to attend because of their parents and even there they only exchanged pleasantries.
"Can I help you?" Albus asked, taking on his perfect roll. Daisy gave an easy smile to the boy. She grabbed the map out of her bag and gave it to him. Not wanting to steal the map from his older brother, but not wanting to give it back to said person. Her best bet, was to give it to his younger brother.
"Here," Daisy said to the younger boy, while she gave him the map. Albus looked at the map in wonder, before recognition crossed his facial expression. His head shot up, to meet Daisy's.
"Where did you get this?" Albus said, with narrowed eyes. He pointed his wand on it and said "Mischief managed." The parchment went blank again. Daisy looked at it in surprise. So that was how Potter was never caught with it. He would just make it blank, too bad for him he hadn't been able to do so in time when she caught him.
"From your brother," Daisy said sour. She wished it had been all in her head that Potter was stalking her, but the proof was right in front of her. The narrowed eyes, became once again one of recognition. "I'm giving it to you, because it wasn't my intention to steal it and it looked important. I have however once condition."
"What condition?" Albus asked in caution, like a true Slytherin. Never agree to something if you don't know what you are agreeing to. She could respect that and Albus probably knew this fact, since he was waiting for her to tell her condition, not expecting her to complain. She wouldn't, he was right about that.
"Don't give it back to your brother," Daisy said, her voice still latched with sourness. He wouldn't know where she was any time of the day when he wouldn't have the map. She had a feeling that Fred or Potter would approach her soon for wanting the map back and she could truthfully tell them then that it wouldn't be in her possession.
"What did he do?" Albus asked with his eyebrows frowned. This time it was Daisy's time to narrow her eyes at the boy. He knew about the map, but he didn't know what his brother had done?
"Like you don't know he has been stalking me," Daisy said in frustration, she almost regretted giving the younger Potter boy the map back, but she had a feeling he wouldn't give it back to his older brother. Since Daisy already knew about the map, she would know right away if he was using it again. Then again, the younger Potter boy had sounded to annoyed at his brother for it to be fake.
"I swear, I didn't," Albus said sincere. Daisy nodded to let him know she believed him. He stuffed the map in his bag, not letting it out of his sight. "Don't worry, James will regret stalking you. Just wait a few days for my owl to reach my parents."
Daisy looked at the boy confused. What had parents to do with this? For the first time, Scorpius opened his mouth since she had started talking to the duo. "I didn't get it at first either. Apparently it's a sibling thing. When one does something wrong, the parents get notified and the one in the wrong will get punished. Their mother is famous for her howlers, saying she learned from her mother."
It would explain why she didn't get it, she had no siblings to tell on. If she did anything wrong and the teachers didn't know about it, her parents would have been none the wiser. If she would have a sibling, her mother would be furious, because she could only imagine what he or she would tell about her dating habits. Maybe it was a good thing she was an only child. "Thanks," Daisy said gratefully to the younger boy in front of her, but also to the blonde since he had given her the explanation she needed. "Got to run, before I'm too late." With that she turned on her heels and ran the way to Charms, thankfully the first lesson of that day she actually shared with her best friend. She couldn't wait to tell her the news.
