Chapter 6
Alice and hypothia were listening to claire tell them about her escapades with snape when draco walked down the stairs. Hypothia followed him with her eyes un til they met his. He smiled and acknowledged her presence, but then he broke the gaze and went off to talk to Crabbe and Goyle. She couldn't help but keep looking. Why did she like him? He only showed affection for her in private and then ignored her in public. Hypothia was completely into her own thoughts until she heard, "hy, you there?" Alice was calling her back into the convorsation.
"oh, yeah, so what happened next?" hypothia asked, turning to claire.
"okay. What's going on with you and draco?" Alice asked her as she folded her arms across her chest. (it was really eerie how much her and draco acted alike.)
"n-nothing." Hypothia replied.
"hy, you were looking at him for 10 minutes." Claire pointed out.
"well, uh..." she said as she stumbled on her words.
"out with it!" alice demanded.
"I like him so much!" hypothia said loudly, but somehow still whispering. "he acts like he likes me too, but only when we're alone. Damn his stupid pride.!" She said as she shook her fist in the air right infront of her face.
Alice leaned back in her chair and grinned. "don't worry, you leave that to me." she said as though she was up……….…to something.
The next day, the girls went to the dungeon for potions with the gryffindors. Snape was at the head of the class and spoke to everyone. "oh, by the way everyone, professor dumbledore thinks there is oo much hostility between houses." Everyone could taste the hint of sarcasm in his voice. "so, everyone, pair up with a person from a different house." He walked around the class and "accidentally" brushed claire's arm as he passed. She was paired up with a gryffindor named colin creevy. Hypothia was with ginny and alice was left with seamus finnigan. Seamus was actually a 6th year, but he had to retake potions because he had failed so many times. "now!" snape made most of the students jump at the sound of his voice. "follow the directions exactly." He turned his gaze to seamus when he said this. "begin!"
'great.' Alice said to herself. 'not only do I have to work with a gryffindor, but I have to work with a half-blood!' she sat and looked completely miserable.
"I remember how to do this one!" seamus exclaimed. "we'll be done in no time!" he said, exited that he actually knew something.
Alice sat unamused with her head resting in her hand. 'that's only because you've done it so many times' she thought to herself. She looked pver as he started putting ingredients into their cauldron. 'look at him. he looks like a little lost puppy.' She looked at him as he searched for something in his potions textbook. 'he looks so adorable when he's confused.' At the thought of this, Alice sat up straight. 'what?! No alice! He's a gryffindor! He's half muggle! No! stop thinking that!' she hit her head with her hand until her arm was pulled away.
"alice, are you okay?" seamus asked her.
"I'm fine!" she snapped as she pulled her arm away.
"sorry." He said as he went back to work.
Alice rested her head on her folded arms on her desk. She continued to day dream. 'great. I've got a crush on seamus finnigan, the screw up of hogwarts! Just wonderful.' She looked over at him.
"okay, so I put one rat's tail and--" Then there was a loud explosion. Alice looked at seamus, her eyes as wide as they've ever been. Everyone looked to see what seamus had done this time. His hair was standing on end, but it was not the way it usually looked when he usually messed up a potion. It was short and went up into several blue spiked. His clothes changed from his robes, to a white, long-sleeved shirt, and over that, was a gold and scarlet striped t-shirt.
Snape ran over to seamus, looking as stern as ever. "what have you done now finnigan?!"
"I…uh…" he tried to say.
"fifty points from gryffindor!" snape yelled. "gods! Can't you get ANYTHING right?!" he said as he quickly stormed off.
Seamus looked down at his feet under the table. "come on finnigan, it's okay." Alice said as she put her hand on his shoulder, but quickly pulled it back. 'what the hell am I doing?! He's a gryffindor. You're a slytherin! Even worse! You're a malfoy! He's a 1/2 blood! Why am I trying to comfort him?!' She put her hands on the table. 'okay, what is wrong with me?' she turned to face him, and while doing so, accidentally knocked her wand on the floor. She bent over to pick it up, but seamus was doing the same. Their hands reached for the fallen wand at the same time. Seamus' hand was on the want and alice's fell on top. They looked at their hands, still one atop the other and they both glanced up and their faces met. They looked eachother in the eyes for a while until alice snapped at him, "gimme my damn wand finnigan!"
"sorry." He said as he leaned up and started to gather his things up. Seconds later, the bell rand and everyone filed out of the class. However, Alice stayed in her seat and thought to herself. 'why was I so mean? He's so cute. No! stop it alice! Even if he DID like you, you can't be together! Slytherins and gryffindors don't date! Even worse, you're a malfoy!' her thoughts were put to a halt when snape came up to her and told her to get out claiming he needed to help clairewith her homework. As alice walked out, she said softly to herself. "funny, she has the highest grade in the class and stil gets tutored everyday."
