Chapter 34: What's to like and not to like?
His Circumstances
When you're asked to choose whether you like the first person or the second one you've loved. Go with the second, because you know you won't love anyone else but the first…
What is taking Weasel so long? She must be brewing Amortentia. I wonder why she likes Vaughen, I mean c'mon, there are tons of good looking guys out there who are so handsome and brilliant and talented. But of course no one can ever be better than I am at everything…Except cooking.
"Aren't you excited Rose? We get to make chocolates for Valentine's Day secretly in the 2nd floor of the girl's bathroom. I couldn't believe Gina could talk Moaning myrtle out" Stupid Prince Girl said, Enthusiasm written all over her face.
"Yeah, I know. Who are you going to give it to anyways? Potte- I mean my cousins? Which one of them?" I pried.
She blushed almost instantly, but it was clear that she didn't know whom to give the chocolates to.
"I guess you'd better give each of them one, since both of them are your friends"
"You're right Rose, Thank you" and with that she hug me.
Yuck
So Disgusting
Vile
Toxic
Waste
"And who are you making chocolates for? She asked after realizing me from the horrible hug she just launched a second ago.
"For are friends you know, my cousins, cousins, anyone who's a friend of mine will do" I just had to blabber and go on with keeping stupid things.
"Oh will you give chocolates to my cousin as well? He seems pretty friendly towards you I wonder…"
"Of course he does, it's because I like reading books too but nothing more than that. He doesn't even speak to me in normal conditions. Not even a greeting in the corridors." Of course, I made things up. Since what's been happening is the entire opposite of it.
Vaughen's treating me like I'm a new Ermine, since Ermine's gone, it's like I'm the replacement, WEASEL'S THE REPLACEMENT. I wonder what that idiot of a friend of mine is thinking, or is it that he's conspiring something that I should know.
"Well then, I'll go on ahead of you James class will start in five minutes. I want to give it to him before class starts, I bet there'd be tons of other chocolates made from the other girls that like him, and it's hard to compete. I think your chocolates going to burn so look after them with love and care" Prince Girl said and gave me another disgusting hug.
I hate Cooking; I don't enjoy cooking since it has nothing to do with me. I'm just dragged to make stupid chocolates for nothing, as if I'm going to give someone a chocolate. What am I nuts? I'm a guy for heaven's sake!
After arguing by myself in the pretty empty bathroom, there was a soft knock on the door. Turns out it was me who entered.
"Weasel"
"I heard from the other girls from Gryffindor. Shh, I'm ditching history class so I can make the chocolate" she whispered. She paled my things on the ground and directly examined the hot cauldron in front of me.
"That's the first time you ditched something" I said bored.
"It's alright as long as I'm not the one who ditched it" She said with a grin.
"Stop grinning, you're making me fall for myself" I replied.
"Good thing I came here before you let the chocolate burn, I mean look at this it's been so warmed up that you should just, put the fire out." And with that she reached for my wand and chanted a fire expel charm.
"Tell me again why I'm doing this?" I asked I mean there's really no point in giving Vaughen a piece of chocolate that I know he won't take a bite from.
"For the sake of FRIENDSHIP" she eagerly replied. Yeah right, I can't believe I got tricked into doing this.
"So, after I give him that I'm supposed to kiss him and stuff right? Perhaps offering my virginity on Valentine's Day isn't bad either"
"What are you talking about? Stop being so sarcastic! You already agreed to do this"
"Yeah yeah whatever"
After that silence engulfed the stinky bathroom. I got bored, so bored that I just stared at myself, at weasel for no reason at all. Even when she's inside my body, I could still see her perfectly well, her Bushy hair, untamed yet kind of alluring. Her brown eyes gleaming with delight as she mixed the chocolate with the white chocolate she just brought. Her swift but gracious movement as she took ingredients inside of my bag.
I just stared…
And stared…
…Until I felt something throbbing in my rib cage.
It felt heavy, I didn't know why though, I felt relieved of seeing her yet it was kind of bitter sweet. Knowing the fact that she's happily making something… not for me
But
…For someone else…
"Why are you staring at me? You're becoming more and more obsessed with yourself that it's kind of scary you know" She said.
"Yeah, maybe I am"
After Weasel finished her stupid chocolate it was time for me to get a move on and head for the library. My mission was to give Vaughen the chocolate without someone noticing me. It was a stupid task bestowed upon me by Weasel, as if I had a choice to begin with.
The corridors were all empty, even the always busy great hall was empty; I guess everyone's dating in Hogsmeade now since it Friday. Not to mention the fact that it's 7 o'clock in the evening.
I arrived at the library with no bombarding insults and harassment from the other girls. Everything inside the library was quiet and still that it was kind of unnatural to even see Madam Pince absent from her usual desk in front of the counter of the Library.
…Strange…
"You're here" said a cold voice.
"Hey" I replied.
"I was waiting for you" Vaughen replied.
"Really? I don't remember promising to give you a chocolate, oh but well here. A friendship chocolate" I said and shoved the neatly wrapped boxed at Vaughen's free hand.
His other hand held some sort of vile with a bitter green liquid inside, it looked super disgusting.
"W-What's that?" I asked.
"It's for you" he shortly replied.
"Valentines present for me too? You shouldn't have"
He really didn't have to!!
"No… it's to return you back to your body…Malfoy"
WHAT? H-how does he know?
WHEN?
HOW?
A new chapter! I know I know its been long since I wrote a new chapter, there were lots of things going on and so… well I'm back again to finish what I've started all I can say is sorry everyone and thank you! Thank you for still reading my story!
