Sorry about slow updates, I know this chapter is really short, but I promise that the next chapter will be much longer and much more exciting!
"I still refuse to believe it." Georgia grumbled.
"I know, it's madness." Draco agreed.
"An outrage." Georgia shook her head in slightly fake disbelief.
"Oh, look, here he comes now, should we show off our badges?" Draco smirked.
"If it will make you shut up, then go right ahead." Georgia sighed as they spotted Potter coming from lunch in the Great Hall. Georgia was with Draco and a few other Slytherins in the courtyard as they waited for classes to begin again and for the perfect opportunity to strike. As they saw him, surprisingly only accompanied by Granger, they all stood up from sitting on the ground and surrounded him.
"Like them, Potter?" Draco asked as he pointed to the badge pinned to his robes. Georgia looked down on her own, with glowing red text displaying the words "Support Cedric Diggory, The REAL Hogwarts Champion". She felt slightly bad for wearing it because it kinda ticked off Ginny, who has had a crush on Potter for the longest time and despite her brother being on bad terms with Potter at the moment, she was on his side, but how could she not support Cedric?
"And this isn't all that they do- look!" Draco exclaimed, and, taking his cue, everyone, except Georgia, who thought this part was far too immature, tapped their badges and the red text turned to green text spelling out "POTTER STINKS". All the Slytherins started laughing, especially Parkinson and her friends, who were howling with laughter louder than anyone else.
"Oh Parkinson, cut it out, you're embarrassing us." Georgia snapped, and Parkinson shut up almost immediately, causing Potter and Granger to stare for a second in shock, probably due to the fact that a lone Muggle-born had such authority in Slytherin house to make Pansy Parkinson of all people to zip it.
"Want one, Granger?" Draco asked Granger, offering her one. "I've got loads. But don't touch my hand now. I've just washed it, you see; don't want a Mudblood sliming it up." Draco said. Georgia kicked his leg upon use of the word, making sure that the heel of her shoe got him hard in the shin.
"Funny you say that, considering that there's a girl of the same blood as Hermione right beside you, and you seem to not have a problem with that." Potter snapped. Draco looked speechless, but Georgia took over for him.
"It's because he made the mistake of introducing himself to me and now he's too scared to step a toe out of line, ask Parkinson what happens when you call me the M-word." Georgia said, glancing over at Parkinson, who tensed up slightly.
"And I know this is hard to process, Potter, but Granger here isn't exactly the most loved around here, not only with the prejudiced, but with almost everyone in her year. You aren't very popular with everyone either, you know, so the both of you are going to make Draco here a wittle jealous." Georgia said, intimating a baby voice at the end. "He's jealous that Potter is a champion and he isn't, although we'd all know that he'd die long before the first task." Draco glared at Georgia, who retorted with a smirk.
"Don't think I didn't see that, Potter." Draco said, motioning to Potter's hand, which gripped onto his wand tightly. "Go on, then, Moody's not here to look after you now – do it, if you got the guts." He sniggered.
"Bad idea, Dra- "Georgia started, but it was too late.
"Furnunculus!" Potter yelled.
"Densaugeo!" Draco screamed.
Potter's and Draco's spells hit each other in midair and rebounded off each other; Draco's hitting Granger and Potter's nailing Goyle in the face. Georgia laughed under her breath as Goyle's face broke out in boils and glanced over at Granger. She felt slightly sympathetic for her, as the girl's front teeth had already grown three times their normal size and kept growing as she tired her best to cover her face. Draco seemed satisfied at the sight of Granger like this, so she muttered a "Anteoculatia" and laughed to herself as she walked away from the scene, glancing over her shoulder to have a look at Draco, who was now screaming as antlers spouted from his head.
"Oh, you should have seen the look on his face! Priceless, it was, I only wish I got it on camera or something. It was like how Ronald was when Ginny put that spider in his room before we went to the World Cup and he ran out of his room screaming like a girl, only better, because the slimy git deserved it." Georgia grinned, taking a sip of her hot chocolate. Ginny and Luna both look amused.
"If I remember correctly, it was you that put the spider in Ron's room." Ginny corrected.
"Whatever you say." Georgia said, but smiled. The three were in their usual hangout of the kitchens, mainly because it was quite this time of day, they got free food, and it would be unsafe if Georgia were to step foot in the Gryffindor common room, based on her somewhat good terms with Malfoy at the moment.
"Well, let's put all this drama talk to the side for now, let's focus on the fact that our first ever trip to Hogsmeade is in less than two weeks." Ginny said.
"Oooh, I almost forgot! First thing I'm doing is trying a nice warm Butterbeer. I've had the cold bottled stuff before, Malfoy brought it back for us once, but I would love to try it warm. If I could try some Firewhisky, now, that would be even better." Georgia smirked.
"I really want to head to Honeydukes, it sounds so amazing, from what my brothers have said." Ginny sighed. Georgia rolled her eyes.
" Everyone wants to go to Honeydukes. Come on, at least tell me that you'll have a butterbeer with me?" Georgia asked.
"Of course. I wouldn't even dream of not doing so." Ginny said. "What about you, Luna? What are you going to do in Hogsmeade?" Ginny asked the blonde, who was carefully listening to them while nibbling lightly on a biscuit.
"Oh, it all depends on weather conditions, but I hope to possibly sight a Blibbering Humdinger. If not, then I'll probably stay inside and go with you guys. Whatever we do, I'm sure we'll have a lovely time." Luna said. Georgia and Ginny exchanged looks before turning to Luna.
"Yes, I'm sure we'll have a good time."
