Chapter 44: Another friend
I was in the common room with the twins, in our corner, one week after they found out about the secret. We just came back from the Shrieking Shack, and Sirius was more and more secretive. I was struggling to pluck up the courage to tell them about one other thing I found out.
"Boys...I think I have to tell you something else that I found out last week."
"What was it? Is..."
"...it a bad thing, can we help you with it?"
"No it's ok, I just...I found out I can't talk to mum anymore. Or any of them"
"What? Did that..."
"...ever happen before?"
"Never. I think it's because of me finding out about you-know-what. Maybe the shock made me lose that power."
I didn't have time to come up with any other idea tough, cause a first year girl came to us.
"Are you Selene Povans?" she asked me
"Yes, why?"
"Professor Lupin asked you to come to his office as soon as you can."
"Oh, thanks. C'mon guys, let's go."
"Well, he asked you to come, maybe it's..."
"...better if we just wait here for you."
I practically fled to Moony's office and as soon as I knocked on the door, he told me to enter.
"Hey, you asked me to come?"
"Yes, Selene, there was an event some time ago, but I had to think more about it and decided to confront you now."
"What event? What happened?"
" Why is your Boggart that way?"
I froze when I heard him.
"How-"
"I was there that night Selene. Don't beat round the bush. Tell me."
"Well, I...it's complicated and a long story."
"I have time. "
"Well, I...do I really have to tell you this? Please I'm not ready."
"Well, hmmm, I guess I could wait a little more."
"Thank you, thank you a lot. I have to go now, solve some other business thanks again."
When I got into our dorm, Hermione still had Harry and Ron under scolding, and my brother had his Firebolt into his hands again.
"Hey, Mione, calm down, what happened this time? "
"What happened? I'll tell you what happened. McGonagall gave Harry his broomstick back and now he thinks that just because this wasn't cursed, then he can just accept gifts from random strangers from now on."
"Well, that's a very wrong way to think. But you can scold them later, he has a big game tomorrow and has to rest. Now go boys straight to sleep or you won't have that broom at the next game anymore."
Next morning at breakfast everyone was nervous about the Quidditch match and the rivalry between Slytherin and Gryffindor was more powerful than ever, even though the game was Gryffindor against Ravenclaw.
Still, everyone in a Quidditch team came to our table to see Harry's broom with their own eyes. Fred and George being on the team anticipated the nervous atmosphere and prepared a Howler. We already sang that song, but it felt good to sing so loud along with everyone in the room.
"I GOT THIS FEELING"!"
inside my bones
It goes electric, wavy when I turn it on
All through my city, all through my home
We're flyin' up, no ceilin', when we in our zone
I got that sunshine in my pocket
Got that good soul in my feet
I feel that hot blood in my body when it drops (ooh)
I can't take my eyes up off it, movin' so phenomenally
Room on lock, the way we rock it, so don't stop
And under the lights when everything goes
Nowhere to hide when I'm gettin' you close
When we move, well, you already know
So just imagine, just imagine, just imagine
Nothin' I can see but you when you dance, dance, dance
Feel a good, good creepin' up on you
So just dance, dance, dance, come on
All those things I shouldn't do
But you dance, dance, dance
And ain't nobody leavin' soon, so keep dancin'
I can't stop the feelin'
So just dance, dance, dance
I can't stop the feelin'
So just dance, dance, dance, come on
Ooh, it's something magical
It's in the air, it's in my blood, it's rushin' on (rushin' on)
I don't need no reason, don't need control (need control)
I fly so high, no ceiling, when I'm in my zone
'Cause I got that sunshine in my pocket
Got that good soul in my feet
I feel that hot blood in my body when it drops (ooh)
I can't take my eyes up off it, moving so phenomenally
Room on lock, the way we rock it, so don't stop (stop, stop, stop)
Under the lights when everything goes
Nowhere to hide when I'm gettin' you close
When we move, well, you already know
So just imagine, just imagine, just imagine
Nothing I can see but you when you dance, dance, dance
Feel a good, good, creepin' up on you
So just dance, dance, dance, come on
All those things I shouldn't do
But you dance, dance, dance
And ain't nobody leavin' soon, so keep dancin'
I can't stop the feelin'
So just dance, dance, dance
I can't stop the feelin'
So just dance, dance, dance
I can't stop the feelin'
So just dance, dance, dance
I can't stop the feelin' (yeah)
So keep dancin', come on
Oh, yeah, yeah
I can't stop the, I can't stop the
I can't stop the, I can't stop the
I can't stop the feelin'
Nothin' I can see but you when you dance, dance, dance (I can't stop the feelin')
Feel the good, good, creepin' up on you
So just dance, dance, dance, come on (I can't stop the feelin')
All those things I shouldn't do
But you dance, dance, dance (dance, dance, dance) (I can't stop the feelin')
And ain't nobody leavin' soon, so keep dancin'
Everybody sing (I can't stop the feelin')
Got this feeling in my body (I can't stop the feelin')
Got this feeling in my body (I can't stop the feelin')
Wanna see you move your body (I can't stop the feelin')
Got this feelin' in my body
Break it down
Got this feelin' in my body (ah)
Can't stop the feelin'
Got this feelin' in my body, come on (ooh)
After breakfast, we all headed to the Quidditch pitch. The game went smoothly, not considering that Harry kept watching Cho instead of the Snitch and Wood kept yelling at him. But at one point, two dementors appeared on the pitch, scaring everyone. Harry didn't even blink. He sent a stag patrons their way and then caught the Snitch.
It was revealed though that those weren't actual dementors, but Crabbe, Goyle, Flint and Draco. The Slytherins lost 50 points and they had detention.
I met with Draco during dinner that day and started scolding him for what he did and during my rant, Zabinni appeared.
Draco paled.
"Blaise...you see, I was-"
"Save it for the others mate. I know about your soulmate connection."
"What? Zabinni, how-"
"Well, c'mon Draco isn't really good at hiding his arms and I had so many fathers that I know a lot about connections like this in the wizarding world."
"Blaise, you have to promise not to tell."
"I've known since Easter in the first year Drake. You were reaching for your sweets on the top of your bed when your sleeves fell to your shoulders. I didn't tell anyone. You're my best friend. Besides, you're cute together, I don't want to ruin this." he smirked at us when the two of us blushed.
Well, at least I had another friend. Even if he was a Slytherin. And he seemed nice too.
