Chapter 5

 

Next day at Hogwarts, all the students were arriving, term had started. Once everyone was seated at their house's tables Dumbledore stood up to make his usual announcements.

 

Dumbledore: Welcome to another year at Hogwarts. I have some announcements before we began the sorting. First, no magic while going to your next class. And the forbidden forest is off limits for those who don't wish to die a very painful death. And now, the sorting.

 

Professor McGonagall walked in with the first years. Some were crying which annoyed Prof. McGonagall. So she put a "Shut-Up!" charm on them. The sorting finally finished. Oliver was sitting up at the staff table and he was looking at Beatriz. :)

 

Draco was staring at Jamie from the Slytherin table and cant get his eyes off of her. Jamie looked up and saw Draco and she blew him a kiss from the Gryffindor table. Neville noticed this and looked to see who she blew a kiss to.

 

Neville: (mumbling) Draco Malfoy.

Jamie: Did you say something Neville?

Neville: Um no, I was just wondering. Are you in a relationship with anybody?

Jamie: Yes I am, why?

Neville: (sigh) No reason.

 

Jamie flipped her hair aside and Neville was just about to began eating again when he noticed the hickey on Jamie's neck.

 

Neville: Jamie! Where did you get that hickey?!

Jamie: Shh! Everyone will hear, and anyway... (she covers her neck with her hair again) its not a hickey.

Neville: (grinning) Who's the lucky boy?

Jamie: There is no boy.

Neville: But you just said you were in a relationship with someone. No wait a second...(whispering) is it a girl then?

Jamie: Thank heavens no! There is no one. I just...ran into the door.

Neville: (confused) With your neck? I find that hard to believe.

Jamie: Believe what you want then.

Neville: Liar. Come on, tell me, who's the lucky guy?

Jamie: OK if you MUST know. (grins) Its...Draco Malfoy.

Neville: WHAT?! (he feels queasy...and he faints)

Jamie: Neville! Neville! Wake up!

Neville: (opening his eyes) Huh? Oh sorry. Draco Malfoy...why him?!

Jamie: (grinning) Cause I love him.

 

Neville abruptly gets up and heads towards the Slytherin table. Draco spots Neville coming towards him and he stands up.

 

Draco: (smirking) Come to visit me Longbottom?

Neville: What did you do to her? What did you do to Jamie?!

 

By now the teachers have the wands out and ready...and the whole place is silent.

 

Draco: (still smirking) I hardly know what your talking about.

Neville: Liar! You know what Im talking about!

Draco: (whispering) No one can resist a Malfoy...not even you.

 

Tears sprang into Neville's eyes and he couldnt take it anymore. He took a swing at Draco but missed. The teachers ran towards them and McGonagall took Neville by his collar and pulled him out of the Great Hall. Draco was made to follow them.

 

Neville: Its not my fault! Let me go!

Draco: Quit your bitching Neville. No one wants to hear it.

 

Jamie on the other hand was sitting in shock. She finally came back to her senses and walked towards Prof. McGonagall.

 

Jamie: Im sorry Professor, but I think this ordeal contains me.

McGonagall: Come along, we need to sort this out.

 

Professor McGonagall dragged Neville out the Great Hall and Draco was following. He stopped when he got to Jamie and Jamie took his hand and they walked out the Great Hall hand in hand. Neville began to cry. The students in the Great Hall were left in shock of seeing Jamie and Draco walk out holding hands. Finally when they were gone, Professor Dumbledore got up to get everyone's attention.

 

Dumbledore: Now lets get back to the feast. I must say, do not go questioning Mr.Malfoy, Mr.Longbotton, or Ms.Peters when you see them again.

Everyone began to eat and already everyone was talking about what just happened.
