Chapter 10 Newspaper Clippings and Riddles
Aphelia was released from the Hospital Wing before Hermione was, which made Aphelia feel better about being sent to the Hospital Wing by Hermione, and she was happy to know that the school now believed that Aphelia was more power than Hermione. She wasn't even mad when she found out that the boys laughed when she was inside, for she was laughing with them. after taking a long shower to cleanse the feel of dirty jinx's off of her body, she headed down to the Great Hall to join the Slytherins in dinner. As she entered the Great Hall errupted in cheers, so she bowed gracefully and took her seat next to Pansy. "That was brilliant, Lea! You and Hermione totally screwed each other up! That was Hilarious!" Pansy laughed as she patted Aphelia on the back. APhelia started to giggle. "it was pretty funny, wasn't it?" she said as she smiled and began to stuff her face with food. looking at the Gryffindor table, she noticed that Hermione was present and looking directly at her. tilting her head in confusion, she shrugged it off and began to eat more until she was enterupted by a flying breadstick being shoved into her robes. "What the?" she asked, but then she looked at Hermione who was trying as hard as ever to not pay attention to Aphelia. Putting a siliencing spell over the teachers' table, Aphelia marched straight up to Hermione. "You bitch!" she yelled as she grabbed Hermione by the hair and threw her on the ground. "OUCH! I just got my hair straightened you idiot!" Hermione said as she put a hand to her hair. Aphelia heard a click from behind her but she paid no attention as she grabbed Hermione and through her out the doors to the Great Hall all without breaking a sweat. Watching Ron scurry after Hermione, Aphelia took her seat at the Slytherin table and began to eat again.
"Aphelia! Get your lazy butt out of bed! you are supposed to be in the Library with me right now!" Pansy yelled as she started to toss pillows on top of the sleeping Aphelia. Rolling over, APhelia forced herslef out of bed and tossed Pansy's pillows back at her. "Does it have to be right NOW, Pansy? I mean it's the weekend, I'm supposed to sleep in!" APhelia complained as she put on her clothes. "Yes I'm sure it has to be now! it's four o'clock in the afternoon, Lea! Stop being so lazy and come and help me pass a class or two!" Pansy insisted as she grabbed APhelia's arm and forced her down the steps into the Slytherin Common Room. When Draco approached, Pansy held her hand out at him and shooed him off. "Sorry, Draco, but you've been hogging her, and now it's my turn!" Pansy answered as she pulled APhelia on towards the Library. APhelia was positive that she was going to be doing more work than Pansy was. In the end Aphelia had sent Pansy the answers to the questions through her mind and left early to go to Dinner in the Great Hall. "What was that about, Lea?" asked Draco as he took Pansy's usual seat next to APhelia. Aphelia took a sip of the pumpkin juice in the goblet in front of her. "Oh, I have been promising Pansy for about a week that I'd help her study for the O.W.L.s, but I haven't really been, so she finally forced me to," APhelia answered as she began to eat her food. looking over at the Gryffindor table she noticed that Hermione was looking Directly at her. Tilting her head in confusion APhelia ignored it and started to open the envelope that hedwig had jsut dropped in front of her.
Who I am, you'll never guess,
But you can go ahead and try your best.
We were friends, but nwo we're not,.
and our first big battle's already been fought.
Because of me, you're life's a mess,
so come on now and take a guess.
Aphelia quickly skimmed through her second riddle and put it aside. in the envelope there was a clipping from the Daily Prophet that made Aphelia steam. *Potter Twin for Voldemort?* and underneath the headline was the picture of Aphelai pulling Hermione's hair and tossing her out of the Great Hall. "What the?" started APhelia, but then she remembered. The click behind her. Aphelia looked to Hermione who was obviously trying hard not to notice how angry Aphelia was. "You bitch!" she yelled as she walked to the Gryffindor table. "I don't know what you are talking about!" Hermione defended, crossing her arms across her chest. APhelia twirled a peice of her hair. "For someone who is brilliant, Hermione, you sure are an idiot! I didn't accuse you of anything yet, I jsut called you a bitch! You totally just proved taht you're the one who sent in this phony leak! and I bet I know who helped you, too!" she accused. snapping her fingers the camera hidden in between Ron's feet flew to Aphelia's hands. "I hope you don't mind if I check to see if the film's been exposed?" Aphelia asked as she opened the film cartridge and let the film spill out into the light. "Oops, I guess it wasn't!" she said as she walked back over to the Slytherin table. "What was taht about, Aphelia?" Draco asked as APhelia took her seat at the table again. Aphelia went to hide the letters but Draco snatched them and began to read. "Aphelia, this is serious! Are you sure you are going to ignore this again?" eh asked her. Aphelia snatched the letters from him and through them on the ground. "do you want to see how I am gonna deal with this?" APhelia asked as she began to stomp on the letters. Draco started clapping as he picked the letters up off the ground. "Bravo! Great way to cope with anger, Lea! but you might want to save these for clues!" Draco said as he put them inside his robes. " Do you need my help?" he asked her. APhelia turned and looked at him, anger in his eye. "I thought I had made this clear the first time that I can take care of myself, or do I have to prove it again, Malfoy?" Aphelia asked invitingly. Draco shook his head and Aphelia turned to walk out of the room once more. "APhelia, wait!" draco called once mroe. APhelia turned again, more anger in her eyes. "WHAT?" she asked Angrily, looking at her watch and taping her foot as if she ahd somewhere more important to be. Draco let his gaze fall to the floor. "I just want you to be careful," he said, putting his hands inside his robes. Aphelia smiled and ran to give him a hug. "Don't worry, Draco! I can survive anything now," she whispered in his ear. As she kissed him on the cheek she took off her ring, placed it in his palm, and left the Great Hall. "That is one of the sweetest, beautiful, msot loving girls I have ever known! how culd you have let her, Draco?" Crabbe asked as he and Goyle walked up to him and placed there hands on his shoulders. "Actually guys, I don't think I let her go, I think she's let go of me," Draco said as he peered down at the Dragon ring she had placed in his hand. glancing once more at the doors after APhelia, he sat down and began to eat once more.
