Chapter 11 Realization

"Aphelia! Wake up! We have to start walking if we are going to make it to Hogwarts tonight!" James called to Aphelia. She woke up and found herself moved to her own bed. She really didn't care though, except she noticed that her scars had been uncovered. *that's odd?* she thought to herself as she got up and left the tent, but she stopped paying attention quickly as they left off towards Hogwarts. She had started to walk behind the two boys, not wanting to flirt with James nor get Draco even more ticked off than he was. It seemed as if Draco didn't want James and Aphelia conversing either, but the hair pricking up on the back of James' neck told Aphelia that he was watching his back with her behind it. She stopped abruptly.

"Okay, this is absurd! WHAT is your problem James? You are acting MIGHTY afraid of me, and guys know better than to show their fear to me, isn't that right Draco?" Aphelia asked. She couldn't help it, all of this was ticking her off majorly!

"Right as Rain!" he answered. Aphelia looked at him oddly, and he replied to it with a look that said 'don't ask!' so she didn't.

"Are you going to answer me? Or am I going to have to TORTURE it out of you?" she laughed a little at this, she couldn't help it! She was having too much fun!

"Did you really go evil and beat the hell out of Draco once?" he asked, biting his lower lip. She could tell he was afraid.

"UGH! I should have KNOWN you had something to do with this, Draco! Yes I did, but it was a TOTAL accident that I kicked the shit out of Draco, though I'm glad now that I did!" she scolded Draco with. He smirked to her.

"See, I told you! She's a total bitch!" Draco said to James and that made him back off even more. Aphelia knew what Draco was doing.

"Draco! You shouldn't be jealous of James! No offence James, I mean, you ARE cute and all, but you aren't my type! I'm more for a bad boy who can take my wicked advances!" she said, glancing at Draco quickly, and then back to James. She was sure no one noticed, " so, you have nothing to worry about, for I don't hurt the weak!" Draco smirked again.

" Oh yeah? What about Hermione?" he asked, crossing his arms in front of his chest.

"You mean Hermione Granger? I hate to break it to you, Draco, but she ISN'T weak! She nearly kicked my ass!" Aphelia said to them, and they went on their way again.
