Chapter 4:
"I can't stand that Larcisa Malfoy!" Frank barked. The four of them, Danielle, Greg, Frank, and Candy were all headed back to the Gryffindor Common Room to work on their latest Potions assignment; an essay on how mold grows. Of course, this has nothing to do with Potions at all, as Frank had also pointed out, but thanks to Larcisa Malfoy, extra homework was assigned to all Gryffindors. Frank was especially peeved, for him and Greg had been planning to take the afternoon off and work on a new prank.
Danielle snorted, "She's only doing these things because she likes you Frank."
Frank spun his head towards her, his eyebrows knitted in a, for once, serious expression. "Malfoy's do not fancy Longbottoms. And even if she did, which I doubt that she does, it doesn't mean that I fancy her as well."
"Meaning…you don't fancy her, Frank?" Candy asked, watching as his expression changed from serious to annoyed.
"Of course I don't fancy her!" he shouted, turning his glance to Candy. "Imagine…me, Frank Longbottom, fancying a Malfoy. That's imposturous! That's insane! That's…"
"He likes her," Danielle murmured to Greg and Candy, causing them both to nod in agreement.
"I DO NOT LIKE LARCISA MALFOY," Frank exploded, throwing his books to the ground and grabbing the two girls by the arm, causing them to drop their things as well.
"Hey!" Danielle squealed, trying furiously to free herself from his grip. "You grotesque monster. I order you to remove your slimy paws from me immediately!"
"Look what you made me do!" Candy cried, staring down at all of her scattered papers on the floor. "This is going to take me forever to get it sorted out again…"
"You listen here, you two," Frank shouted, causing both girls to stop their whining and stare back at Frank in a mix of fear and anger. "I do not like Larcisa Malfoy. Understood? And if I hear one more word out of either of you, I'll put toads in your beds to keep you company while you're sleeping." He gave them another murderous glance before releasing their arms and stomping off towards the common room, leaving his papers and books behind.
Danielle was the first to say anything. She bent down and began scrambling up her parchment and papers. "Did you see all those people staring at us? Did you? What if Cameron saw? He already thinks I like Longbottom…bloody hell…when he wants attention he sure knows how to get it. 'Eh?"
Candy, too busy staring at her papers to even realize that Danielle was talking, let everything in one ear and out the other, except one thing. "So what if Cameron saw?" She swung her head over to Danielle, eyes full of curiosity. Of course, every third year girl and younger was head over heels in love with Cameron Potter; his devilish good looks and brilliant green eyes won every girls heart.
Danielle, her back turned towards Candy and Greg, said nothing and did nothing. She squatted on the ground, frozen in the midst of gathering her papers. Most of the other students had already hurried to their next class, but the few who did walk by stared at the three of them.
Greg snorted and bent down quickly to help gather up the papers, since neither of the girls was bothering to pick up the mess. Quicker than you could say Quidditch, Danielle spun around and lunged on Greg, sitting on him so he couldn't move; she held a fist to his face, and clenched his robes with the other. "Something funny, Longbottom?" she snarled, pinning him down on the ground. Greg looked up at her in disbelief and fear before shaking his head slowly no. "Good," Danielle said, letting him go, then pouncing on him again. "Because if anything was funny…anything that shouldn't be funny…" she eyed him, "I wouldn't hesitate to make you eat this fist."
"That's enough out of the both of you," Candy said, helping Danielle back to her feet, but leaving Greg to fend for himself.
"Y-you know," Greg said, adding emphasis to voice, trying to sound brave, "if you weren't such a b-beautiful girl I would…I would've hit you right now!"
"Excuse me?" Danielle stepped on his stomach, and Candy hurried to pry her off. "You couldn't hit me if you tried, Longbottom! You couldn't hit me if you tried!" The girls both exited quickly, Candy pulling on Danielle the whole way back to the dormitories.
"Stupid Longbottom…" Danielle said that night while the three girls were in the dormitories, getting ready for dinner. Surprisingly, Leah had decided to get ready with them, for once. Her argument, she said she had none, that she was just getting sick of having dinner with the same people. "You know she likes one of them," Danielle had whispered later.
"They're not so bad," Candy said, peering over the edge of her magazine at Danielle, who was brushing her hair furiously in the mirror.
"Not so bad?" Danielle asked, staring at Candy from the mirror and slamming her brush down on the table. "Not so bad!"
"I think they're charming," Leah perked up, looking nervously between the two of them. "Especially Frank."
Danielle quickly picked up the brush again and began once again brushing her hair. "Bah to both of them," she murmured. "Charming…not so bad…I have no idea what you two are smoking…"
That night at dinner, even though Danielle claimed not to fancy either of the Longbottom's, she and Leah had almost gotten into a fistfight on who got to sit next to whom. Leah sat glumly across from Candy, who was sitting next to Greg, who was sitting next to Danielle, who was sitting next to Frank, who was sitting across from Maxwell Finnigan, Leah's older brother. "She doesn't even fancy them," Leah said, complaining softly across the table to Candy, "but she'll fight over a seat. Stupid git…"
"So!" Frank called down from the end of the table, loud enough for Candy to hear, "I'm trying out of the beater position this year."
"First years never get picked for the house teams," Greg said, rolling his eyes.
"Harry Potter did," Frank pointed his fork towards Greg, "so that means I can, too. You should try out as well, Greg. They're looking for replacements for Uncle Fred and George's positions. We're just the ones to do it."
"I'm not one for Quidditch," Greg said, stuffing a roll into his mouth.
"Yea," Frank agreed, "you never were."
"I'm not one for Quidditch either," Danielle said. "Afraid of heights." (MWAHAHA stole from you PotterPrincess)
"I would like to be a keeper, or maybe a chaser…" Leah drifted into her own daydream.
"What about you Candy?" Greg looked over at her with interest. "Not much for Quidditch either?"
Candy shrugged. "I don't know. I've never played it, and I've only heard a small bit about it." All of the forks and knives, spoons and food, were all dropped at the words that came out of her mouth.
"N-never played Q-quidditch?" Fred asked, his mouth hanging open. Greg gaped at her, as did Leah and Danielle as well.
"My mother's a muggle," Candy went on. "All she said was that Harry Potter played the seeker position. That's all I know. Honestly."
"Your mum's a Muggle?" Max asked, sliding down a few seats and staring at Candy. "Me Granda's a muggle as well. Into Quidditch quite a bit, though. I could teach you about it sometime, if you want to learn more about it."
Candy smiled. "That'd be great, thanks for offering."
"I could teach you too, Candy," Greg interrupted. "I see you more anyways. Thanks for the offer Maxwell but I think I can teach her plenty about Quidditch…"
Maxwell turned to Greg, his brow knitted. "You're not much for Quidditch anyway, Longbottom. I'll teach her." Greg looked at him in resentful defeated and turned towards Danielle and Frank. Maxwell, turning back to Candy, said, "What do you say, Candy? Meet me tomorrow on the Quidditch fields, will you?"
~~Blah…short chapter, I know. I promise to get another up A.S.A.P! Please review! PLEASE!!~~
