The next morning
" This year Hogwarts has decided to add
co-curriculum activates to out timetable." Announced Professor Dumbledore,
smiling looking around the great hall. " The reason is that we want you to learn
more than the usual. Oh yes. Quidditch is a CCA. But you can join more than one
CCA. There will be chess and medical arts for the mean time. There will be more
coming up soon. Oh yes, duelling is part of you timetable. I feel that
everybody needs to know how to duel."
The whole hall
was buzzing over the annoucment of the CCAs. Ron straight away announced that
he wanted to join chess. Hermione was deciding between the two and as Harry was
in quidditch so the choosing of CCAs did not matter so much to him. It did not bother Draco either but Laura
like Hermione could not decide.
Laura ran over to
the Gryffindor table dragging a very grumpy Draco along. " Hermione!" she said
excitedly," which CCA are you going to chose?"
Hermione
excitedly replied back. While Harry and Ron starred at each other and mouthed
girls exasperatedly, Draco just starred on with a look of pure disgust.
Duelling
Class (Debra's P.O.V.)
" All right
class. As you all know who I am, all please call me Debra." Said Debra to the whole
class. She noted that all the Gryffindors sat at one end of the class and all
the Slytherins sat at the other end.
All the
slytherins sniggered rudely. Debra stared at them. 'Now that's the most
annoying house.' She thought to herself.
" All right class,
you are here to learn to duel, have any of you been in a duel before?" I asked looking around the class. Everybody
seemed to be starring at a boy with glasses and messy hair. Oh, that was Harry
Potter. Nobody seems to be raising their hands." Well? Anybody? Harry?" I
asked. All the Slytherins seem to snigger simultaneously at the sound of
Harry's name. Ah well, life can't be perfect for everyone. A few people raised
their hands. I noted that a lot of Slytherins had raised their hands and of
course Harry Potter and a couple of Gryffindors. " Can I have two volunteers to
demonstrate to the class how to duel?" I asked, hoping for some response but as
usual there was none. I ran my hand down the register and randomly picked out
two pairs. I could not resist picking Harry Potter. I also chose a pair of
twins, Draco and Laura, I cannot tell them apart. Wonderful. Just wonderful.
And also another person called Neville.
Heavens forbid,
Neville to duel. He just can't. Laura easily won by doing the full body bind
curse. I don't think the Gryffindors were very pleased, because she started
putting an itching spell on him after that.
Draco and Harry?
Goodness. They both can duel. Very well. Who does not know? Harry of course can
duel. I mean after fighting the Dark Lord for so long can definitely duel. As
for Draco, we all know he is Lucius Malfoy's son. He is definitely is
underhand. Draco won by taking Harry's glasses away, and so Harry zapped the
spell in the wrong direction. Injuring, unfortunately me. Sigh. Hermione
luckily knew the counter spell. Thank goodness, or I'll have jelly legs for a
long time.
And so, I got
Draco and Laura to duel. There is only one way to describe it hilarious. Draco
was serious and Laura was laughing non-stop all the while. Thank goodness she
stopped laughing in time to duel. If not the consequences will be too ugly to
see. Draco first shot a jelly legs curse, which Laura jumped away, returning it
with a stunning curse. Which Draco expertly blocked. And on and on it when. The
spells used were more and more dangerous and were way beyond their level.
Unfortunately for them, one or both of their hexes exploded up the whole room,
injuring nearly the whole class.
Professor Mc
Gonagall who though the class nearby came rushing in. She nearly threw a blue
fit when she saw my whole class. I could do nothing but grin sheepishly back at
her. Sheesh, she always was a strict teacher, I felt like a student once again.
With the help from the class that she was teaching, she managed to bring the
whole class to the hospital wing.
She was giving me
a lecture like I was a student on letting the Malfoy twins to duel. The injury
list was long and many. Draco had a badly burnt arm, so did Laura. Harry had
numerous bruises and cuts everywhere. Poor Neville was knocked out. The rest of
the class had cuts and bruises and burns. I made a mental note to myself not to
let the Malfoy twins duel unless necessary with precautions. If not I will go
crazy. Ron and Hermione were quite furious at Draco. Luckily for Laura, they
did not blame her. Madam Promfrey made
me stay in the hospital wing with Harry, who was a mess of blue, Draco, Laura
and Neville. The rest of the class were told to rest in their dorms after being
treated. Well, they were happy, they got to miss lessons.
~. ~
" Well, Potter
nice to see that you are once again in the hospital ward." Said Draco.
" Nice to see
Malfoy that you have not lost your scarsity even when burnt." Replied Harry.
" Wonderful."
Muttered Laura to herself. " Do the both of you ever stop arguing?"
" No!" replied
Harry and Draco.
" Why don't the
both of you try to get along?" Laura asked." I'm sure you argue a lot, but you
both admire each other. I can see and sense that."
" Laura." Draco
said in a warning tone.
" Sorry." Replied
Laura sounding not sorry at all.
" Huh? I don't
get the both of you." Said Harry, not catching head or tail of the
conversation.
" Never mind."
Replied Draco and Laura, sighing.
~.~
Their wounds
healed fast and were down for dinner at the great hall. The other levels were
asking what had happened. The other houses were equally curious and furious
that they had to miss duelling lessons.
" All your
duelling lessons will be held outside next to the quidditch pitch in future,
after what had happened today." Announced Professor Dumbledore.
A few whys where
heard across the hall. Dumbledore cleared his throat and said," After what had
happened today after the first duelling lesson of the week. Some students
managed to tear down the whole duelling classroom." Draco and Laura were blushing, and the whole of the Gryffindor
fifth years seem to be staring at them.
*.*
" I cannot
believed this happened!" exclaimed Laura, sitting on the floor of the Slytherin
Common room. Draco nodded his head in agreement.
"Yeah. It was so
embarrassing." Draco replied. " Wonder what Potter, Weasley and Granger thought
of it."
"Oh for goodness
sake Draco. Will you please for once be nice to Harry, Ron and Hermione? "
" Yeah right."
" Says who?"
"Says me."
And the argument
went on for a while. The result was a very furious Draco and Laura. Crabbe and
Gyole knew better and left the common room.
Suddenly an
explosion occurred right infont of Draco and Laura's face. The whole slytherin
common room could hear it. A very black Laura and Draco appeared from the
smoke, eyeing each other wearily. Laura
walked out of the common room, leaving Draco alone.
A very furious
Laura walked towards the Gryffindor common room, while doing a quick clean up
spell on herself. Upon reaching the potrait, she realised she did not know the
password. She hit herself on the forehead and left muttering a stream of curses
quite loudly. That a trio of students who were walking pass were surprised.
" Laura!" said
Hermione, disaprovingly. " I'm surprised at you."
" Yeah why?"
replied Laura.
" Don't curse
that loudly. What happens if you were holding your wand!" exclaimed Hermione.
" Yeah what
happens if you were holding your wand." Mimicked Ron in jest.
" This would
happen." Said Laura holding out her wand, black and blue sparks flying out of
it, face as red as Ron's hair.
" So, anyway what
are you doing here." Asked Harry amiably.
Laura explained
the whole thing. Harry and Ron kept on bursting into fits of laughter. Hermione
was lecturing Laura.
" I did better
go." Laura said suddenly. " it has became a habit of mine to irritate Draco at
this time."
" Laura!" said
Hermione disapprovingly.
Harry and Ron
said nothing but burst into silent laughter, which earn them strict looks from
Hermione.
" Sorry Hermione
the perfect." Said Ron in a straight face.
" Bye!" Laura
said, walking off.
" You know what?"
said Harry staring at Laura who was walking off.
" What." Said
Ron." If I knew better, I bet Harry is going to fall in love again."
" Oh no." said
Hermione in a mock tone of concern." We won't want that to happen."
" Oh shut up the
both of you." Said Harry turning red.
`.`
An explosion
greeted Draco. He knew his sister had returned and decided to irritate him. He
sighed and turned around. Staring at the exact replica of his face. She just
shrugged and sat on his bed.
" Hi Draco."
Laura said smiling.
" Mnn" Draco
nodded back in a form of response.
" Could you be
nice to Harry? Ron? And Draco?"
" What do you
think."
" Yes."
" NO."
" Fine. I will
announce to the whole school your crush tomorrow."
" Alright."
" Deal?"
" Deal."
" Good night."

All right. I know. I received enough flames. I'm
using them to burn my drawings. Any way. I am rewriting most of the chapters.
So, if any thing does not match, don't come and find me…
