Chapter 7 The First Riddle
Aphelia thought that her first week of Hogwarts was going to suck, especially since Ron cheated on her in front of her face, but things were looking up. Harry, Draco and Aphelia were all hanging out together and avoiding Ron and Hermione completely.
"You know what's weird?" Aphelia asked as she joined the two of them in a discussion.
"No, what?" Draco asked as he just checked Harry's king in a game of wizard's chess. Harry always knew he wasn't very good at it.
"It seems like you and I are taking the place of Ron and Hermione, and Hermione and Ron are taking our places! Well, except the fact that I wasn't as slutty as Hermione, and you aren't as big an asshole as Ron!" Aphelia added.
"You know, you're right!" Harry said as he took Draco's knight. Draco nodded as he check mated Harry.
"I think I'm getting sick of playing Wizard's chess!" joked Harry as he tossed Draco a chocolate frog and some Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans. "Hey! I didn't know we had owl mail at this hour!" Harry added as Hedwig swooped down at them. Harry, who was expecting the letter, stuck out his hand to catch what Hedwig dropped, but it fell into Aphelia's lap.
Who I am, you'll never guess,
But you can go ahead and try your best.
You know me and I know you,
But that doesn't matter, because it'll never do.
Because of me, you're life's a mess,
So come on now and take a guess.
"That was REALLY weird!" said Aphelia as she passed the riddle around for Harry and Draco to read.
"So, who do you think it's from?" Draco asked as he handed her the note back. Harry tilted his head to the side in a 'thinking' sort of way.
"Duh! HELLOO? It HAS to be Voldemort! I mean, who ELSE has ruined my life?" Aphelia asked as she put the letter she had received in her backpack. "Oh, Draco? Girlfriend at ten o'clock!" Aphelia said as Hermione approached them.
"Oh, right! I've been meaning to dump her, haven't I?" Draco asked as He welcomed Hermione.
"Hey Draco, BABY!" she said with a triumphant smirk at Aphelia. Aphelia, who knew that Hermione was going to get dumped, just waved and sweetly smiled.
"Oh, it's YOU," was all he said, and when Hermione tried to touch him he scooted closer to Aphelia. "There's something I've been meaning to tell you. I'm dumping you, you heartless bitch!" and when Hermione heard those words she stalked off.
"Good one!" yelled Aphelia and Harry at the same time as they all three high fived each other. Not too long after Ron approached.
"So, you dumped my sweet Hermione for that… THING?" he asked as he pointed at Aphelia. Aphelia felt more insulted than she had ever been in her life.
"Actually, no. Aphelia and I aren't going out, we're just FRIENDS, but I don't want to be dating a filthy SKANK!" he said, so loudly that Hermione could hear.
"Who cares, Ronny! They'll regret it! They ALL will!" Hermione said as she pulled Ron away. Harry made himself busy by trying to reassemble the broken chess pieces without magic.
"Come ON guys! Let's DO something!" Aphelia said, becoming bored. Harry picked up his wand and put the chess pieces into their places.
"Like WHAT? There's NOTHING to do!" he said as he quickly finished the task. Draco pulled out a book and began to read.
"Oh MY GOSH! Draco is ACTUALLY reading! We HAVE to do something! Come ON we know MAGIC, how can we NOT have something to do?" Aphelia asked.
"Uh, maybe it's because every time we want something to do with Magic Hermione's the one who knows it!" snapped Draco as he put his book away.
"Oh. Right. Well, I'm just as smart as she is! I'm sure I'VE read something somewhere," Aphelia said as she started to search through her books. She had NO idea what she was looking for, but she looked anyways.
"Right, well, this IS boring!" Harry said as he finished floating the Chess pieces around with his wand. Aphelia slammed her book shut.
"I've GOT it!" she claimed as she put her stuff into her bag. "Have you guys ever seen that movie Beetlejuice?" the boys looked dumbstruck. "It's this movie! Well, anyways towards the end the ghost people float the girl into the air and she starts to dance and stuff! Want to try?" she asked.
"Why not? We haven't got anything better to do, have we?" asked Draco as he stood up. Harry briskly followed.
"Okay! This is going to tingle!" and with that she floated them high into the air. The three of them started dancing around, and Aphelia floated them around the whole school. The three of them were having a blast, and not very long after Aphelia had forgotten about the riddle.
