Ch.4 – Boils, Revenge, and Hardship
*Draco's POV*
Draco had just woken up and was getting dressed, and he started to think about things he couldn't stand. Well of course, #1 was Potter and his friends, #2 school, #3 all the other houses, and... Something else came to his mind. Sarah, her eyes, her smile, everything about her. Everything he hated about her. He couldn't stand how Sarah was always smiling at him, with her perfect teeth. She was always trying to be his "buddy". He had talked to her on the train, but that was before she was a Gryffindor. Even worse she was friends with Potter, Granger, and Weasel. How could it get any worse? Then why did he feel jealous when he saw her smiling at another guy? He decided that he was just tired. He walked down to the common room. He looked around for someone to walk to breakfast with, and he saw Crabbe and Goyle. They walked to the Great Hall, and immediately his eyes went to the Gryffindor table. He caught himself and looked away. He sat in-between Crabbe and Goyle. He looked up and sure enough there was Sarah smiling at him. He glared at her, and then looked down at his plate. He finished eating and was waiting for his goons to finish. He began to look around the room. What a bunch of Mudbloods and uncivilized savages. At this time Pansy Parkinson got up and walked over to the Gryffindor table. She tapped Sarah on the shoulder and bent down and whispered in her ear. Then Sarah stood up and followed her out of the Great Hall. What was that? Crabbe burped and asked if he and Goyle were done, Goyle grunted a yes. So they got up and walked to their 1st class.
Pansy had asked Sarah if she could help her with a potion for Potions. Pansy led Sarah down a long hallway and into an abandoned classroom. It was very dusty and dirty there were a few desks and in the center of the room was a cauldron. On one of the tables were several different types of plants and insects. "I was working on this potion and I can't remember the last ingredent." Sarah thought a moment, "What potion is it?" Pansy looked at the cauldron, "The one that Snape went over yesterday in class." Sarah looked a little confused, "Oh, I remember." She went over and looked into the simmering cauldron, "I think your missing 2 Snagglepuss leaves." She reached over and grabbed them and dropped them in the cauldron. There was a loud bang, and about 10 other Slytherins came in from outside. Sarah turned around and Pansy took a picture of her. All of them left the room laughing. Sarah didn't know what had happened. She looked around the room and she saw a mirror. She picked it up and looked at it. She gasped. She threw the mirror down, and ran immediately to the infirmary. Madame Pomfrey saw her and gasped. "What happened dear?" Sarah started to cry, and Madame Pomfrey hugged her. She led her to a bed and pulled the curtain around it. Madame Pomfrey went to get some cream and a book of spells. Sarah opened her eyes for crying and saw a mirror, and she saw a girl that looked like her but was covered in boils. Her hair was singed. Madame Pomfrey came back and put the cream on her face and then performed a spell, and only a few of the boils went away. "Here, have some water." Sarah took a sip, "Thank you. How long will it take to get the rest of them to go away?" Madame Pomfrey looked at her," I truly don't know. Here let me try it again." She performed the spell again. She still had about 7 boils left, but they were big. "Can I stay here until they go away?" Madame Pomfrey looked at her with honest eyes, "Yes, you may stay. And I may have something to make your hair get un-singed." She did the spell and her hair looked good as new. She sat there for 3 hours, and finally the last boil vanished. "Thank you," she said to Madame Pomfrey. "Anytime deary." Sarah left, but her heart was very bitter. She had missed her lessons, and they had taken a picture of her. She felt like such a fool. How could I let them trick me?
She told Harry, Ron, and Hermione about what happened. They were all very angry. Sarah told Harry that she would have to delay their meeting until Saturday afternoon (it was Wednesday). They sat there and came up with a scheme. It was so devious and awful that they knew that they would finally get their revenge on the Slytherins. They would need to get Fred and George's help. Fred and George decided to help them with their awful plan, and they knew just what to do.
They all went to bed, and the next morning there were pictures everywhere of Sarah and her boils. She didn't seem to upset. She and her partners in crime got there a little early. They sat at the Gryffindor table Sarah stood up and looked at Fred and then to George and nodded her head. They walked to the kitchens and handed the house elves some Weasley Wizard Wheezes desserts, and they told them to send them to the Slytherin table. They came back just in time to see them appear on the table. All of the Slytherins grabbed one once they realized none of the tables had them. They were showing them off. They started to eat them. One by one, they started turning into canaries, purple rabbits, etc. The perfect crime, only Draco didn't eat one. He was the only human left at the table. The Hall erupted in laughter. Sarah had never felt so good before. She liked playing practical jokes; maybe she'll do it quite often. Draco looked right at Sarah and smiled. It was like he knew that she had planned this, and he was showing his approval. At this time all the teachers ran down and were leading all of the Slytherins to the infirmary.
What a good week it was. Sarah had gotten back at the Slytherins, done all her homework, written Oliver a letter, Draco started to be nice... She had forgotten about Harry. She dreaded the fact that tomorrow she would have to him about his "outburst". What Sarah didn't know was that Neville with his big mouth had told Seamus what he heard Ron and Harry say. Seamus told Parvati, so on and so on. Her life would only get worse.
Note- I know this chapter sucked, but I needed a new one and this was the best that I could do. If you have any suggestions please let me have them.
Lady Ravenclaw- I hope you like this chapter better. I hope Sarah's bad enough, there's enough Draco, and there's enough action. Thanks for the review. I really appreciate it. Please keep r/r-ing.
Little Ray of Moonlight05- thanks for your reviews. Did you read the suggestions I left for you? On the 9th chapter of Here Comes the Sun. I really like that story!
Thanks for the reviews!
