The next morning at breakfast was weird for Alyssa, she kept looking over at Seamus to see if he was looking back, and Katelyn just sat mumbling to herself on ways she could "accidentally" bump into Draco.
Seamus's breakfast was a whole different experience. "Harry, why did you throw a pillow at me last night, was I snoring?" "No" Harry answered with a smile. "You had a late-night visitor. I tried to wake you, but you only mumbled some foolish nonsense, I told her it wasn't the best time to talk." "Really?" Seamus asked getting excited, "who was it?" "Do you think I should tell him Ron?" Ron looked up from his toast and eggs. "Of course Harry, he should know, though it would be fun to watch this go on for weeks." "Oh all right. It was that girl..." Harry paused making the moment for intense "Alyssa." he finally let out. Seamus smiled, a girl had never liked him before, but he liked how it felt. Seamus kept looking at Alyssa the rest of lunch, conveniently at the times she wasn't looking at him.
Everyone was excited as they left the great hall for their first classes of the year. "What do we have first?" asked Katelyn. "Potions with the Slytherins." "Time to put my plan into action!" Katelyn walked away leaving Alyssa puzzled. Alyssa knew she should worry what her friend was planning, but saw Seamus and soon forgot all about it. She ran in to Katelyn minutes later. "The plan has been put into effect." Katelyn said grinning evilly.
Alyssa walked into the classroom and sat down beside Katelyn, there was an empty seat beside both girls. "What is it that you planned?" questioned Alyssa not really wanting an answer. "You'll see" was all Katelyn would let on. Seconds later Draco appeared at the door. Goyle got out of his chair and mumbled something to Draco. Looking confused Draco went to the back row of desks and took a seat beside Katelyn. She winked to show her plan had worked. Seamus came in afterward, and with out a second thought plopped down beside Alyssa. She almost died when he said "Hello" in that oh-so-cute Irish accent. "Hi" was all she could work out of her mouth.
Snape walked in slamming the door behind him, startling everyone. "Today we will be working on a potion to cure foot odor" he started to pair students, Ron and Neville, Harry and Dean. To Alyssa and Katelyn's amazement he paired Katelyn with Draco, and Alyssa with Seamus.
"Are you any good with this?" Alyssa asked Seamus. "Oh yeah I'm great!" he lied. "That's good," she said smiling "I'm not." Seamus got an uneasy felling in his stomach, he could tell they were going to blow something up. This felling was justified three minutes into the potion process apparently you should stir the first set of ingredients before adding the next. The foul smelling concoction blew up. The putrid green slime was all over them, and others close by. Draco stood up, covered in the oozing slime. "I'll get you two back for this!" he thundered. "Calm down Draco," soothed Katelyn, "it was only a little accident." " I guess your right, but if it happens again mark my words I will get both of you!" he vowed. "Sommers! Finnigan! Twenty points from Gryffindor!" Snape growled from his desk in the front of the large dungeon classroom. "Now clean it up!"
"Scary guy, that Malfoy." Whispered Seamus to Alyssa. It was late at night a few days after the potions fiasco. They were both chatting in the Gryffindor common room. "What's scarier is that Katelyn likes him!" Alyssa confessed. They continued talking even later into the night. "I've got to get to bed." Alyssa said sadly. "Oh, I guess I'll see you at breakfast. Good night." He called heading to the boy's dormitory.
Alyssa strolled into her room knocking over Katelyn who had fallen asleep listening to their conversation. "Katelyn!" Alyssa complained "how could you? Can't I have any privacy?" Katelyn started laughing. "'I'm a Virgo!' 'Oh my God, I'm a Virgo too!'" se quoted. "Ugh! And you even memorized it?" "Not only did I memorize it, I recorded it!" she said pulling out her muggle made tap recorder.
I'm still mad at you, you know." Alyssa pointed out as she sat beside Katelyn and Seamus at lunch the next afternoon, looking lovingly at Seamus and angrily at Katelyn. "Bit of a conflict between you two I've noticed, what's wrong?" asked Seamus. I don't know why she is so mad, all I did was preserve a moment in time for you to cherish forever." Katelyn said innocently. "Seamus not only did she listen to out conversation, she recorded it!" said Alyssa in the high pitched voice she always gets when she is quite enraged. Seamus blushed, he gotten a bit intimate in their conversation, and was fearing what Katelyn would do with the information. Katelyn noticed Seamus's uneasy look. "Don't worry Alyssa is my friend and your practically her boyfriend I wouldn't do anything with the tape." "Practically my boyfriend?" Alyssa asked voice high pitched once again. "Yeah, you two talk more then even we do. Plus, you know you like him!" Alyssa and Seamus turned a matching shade of bright red. "Well I have to go ask Draco about our potions essay, see you in class." Katelyn said getting up from the Gryffindor table. "Katelyn, wait why do you have to ask Malfoy, when I'm in your class, and I know for a fact you finished it yesterday." Alssy said puzzled. "Alyssa, you still don't get the plan, do you?" "What plan, every time I ask you about it you get a creepy smile and mumble some stuff about Draco." Alyssa said still confused. "Exactly my point! It's all about Draco! I don't actually want to talk about the essay, I want to talk to him.." "Oh!" Alyssa nodded as if the world had suddenly become clear.
Ok that was chapter 2. I noticed no one has reviewed yet... Does it suck that much??? Tell me if it does.
