Selena's eyes were dangerously slits as she stormed down the stairs and through a corridor. Anyone who saw her didn't dare to come within five feet of her for fear that the hate she was emitting would make them keel over and die. With a quick turn, she came face to face with Draco Malfoy. The tall youth smirked at her.
"Something the matter?" He asked smugly.
"Yes! Where is that so called pug you call your girlfriend?!?!" She demanded angrily. Malfoy blinked, seemingly surprised by her anger.
"Why are you looking for her?" He asked delicately, knowing that he was treading on forbidden ground. The last time that either Selena or Jake were this angry, one of the Slytherins had ended up in the Hospital Wing for two weeks, screaming every time he looked in a corner. Supposedly he would see rats everywhere he turned and, indeed, the jinx had been so powerful, scratches and bite marks would appear all over his body for the entire time that he spent in the Hospital Wing.
"That damn bitch cursed my owl green and silver!" She yelled angrily. Malfoy drew back a little. Normally he would have laughed in her face but the loathing in her eyes was far too intense for such stupidity.
"Er, I don't know." He said truthfully.
"Selena, calm down." Jake said, coming up behind her.
"If someone had cursed YOUR owl you wouldn't be telling me to calm down!" She yelled angrily.
"I agreed but killing the damned Slytherins won't change it! We can fix that problem but the Slytherins ain't worth shit." Jake said.
"What's going on?" Harry asked as he and Ron came towards them.
"Have you seen Pansy?" Selena asked, her voice frighteningly calm.
"She was heading towards the libra-," "Don't weasley...", Malfoy said hurriedly and tried to shut him up with a glance but he stopped when he saw the smirk curling on Selena's face. She took out her wand and fixed that murderous grin on Ron for a moment.
"Thank you very much." She said as she stormed down the hallway towards the library. Ron and Harry glanced at Jake.
"What was THAT about?" They asked. Jake sighed and motioned for them to follow him to the library to make sure that Selena didn't kill anyone.
"We woke up early because she wanted to finish up some homework and while we were up we passed Pansy in the hallway. They had a bit of a fight in which Selena, er, 'accidentally' turned her hair neon pink. When we got to the owlery after Transfiguration, we found that Meimi, Selena's owl, was hysterical. Her feathers were silver and green and there were several cuts on her wings where Pansy must have cursed her to stay still. The person that you saw just now is the result." Ron starred at Selena thoughtfully.
"Let's hope she runs into Snape. She could probably get rid of the bugger for us." Harry laughed.
"We have detention with him tonight." Jake said glumly. "And on Halloween too! It's not fair! We have rights as students and as teenagers to enjoy the holidays!" Ron and Harry exchanged glances.
"So what do you think Selena's going to do to her?" Malfoy asked from beside them. Harry, Ron, and Jake glared at him.
"Why are you following us?" Jake demanded. "What's the matter? Want someone to protect you from scary people like selena?" Malfoy glowered at him.
"I want to see what she's going to do to Pansy." They arrived at the library to find a very interesting sight. Selena was strangling Pansy, completely ignoring her wand. A cat fight ensued in which Selena walked away from calmly. Except for several trickles of blood where Pansy's nails had bitten into her arms, there was nothing to show that Selena had been involved in a fight.
"I never thought you were the type." Jake said. He winced slightly when he glanced at Pansy. Her left arm was bent at an irregular angle, her face and arms were lined with scratch marks from Selena's long nails, and her hair was pulled out of its usual ponytail to lay around her tattered robes. She looked as if she had gone through a war between dragons and Blast-Ended Skwerts.
"I used to take Martial Arts and dance." She said calmly.
"Are you satisfied now?" He asked.
"I'm very happy, thank you. Anything I can do?"
"Yeah, you can kiss me!" Selena turned around with a murderous glare to find Shadow smirking at her.
"Leave right now or I'll kill you." Selena said. Shadow laughed.
"When I have information for you? Alright, fine I'm leaving." He turned to go but than smirked at Jake. "It's about your girlfriend." Jake snapped. His eyes went furious and murderous. Jake slammed Shadow against the stone wall, his eyes burning angrily.
"What did you do to her?!" He demanded angrily.
"Nothing. I just kidnapped her, that's all." He said with an evil smirk.
"You what?!" Selena demanded angrily.
"If you come with me, I'll give her back." He said innocently.
"We don't make deals with people like you, you sick twisted freak!" Jake hissed, throwing Shadow against the wall and walking back towards Selena.
"Look in the fire." Shadow said from behind them. "It was a joke. I didn't take her, even though I should have. It was someone else." Selena and Jake turned to ask him what he meant but he was gone.
"Maybe he was bluffing." Harry said.
"I haven't seen her for a while." Ron said.
"Who the hell was he?" Malfoy demanded.
"It's none of your business. Go give Crabbe a blow job or something." Selena, Ron, Harry, and Malfoy all made disgusted faces.
"Sorry mate but that one was gross." Ron said, looking very green.
"Well he does." Jake pointed out. Malfoy was going from pale to red to green and finally back to red.
"Jake, let's just go find her alright?" Selena grabbed Jake and started to pull him towards the Great Hall for lunch. They spent several minutes trying to recognize Fleur's familiar moonlight white hair. Eventually they prepared to leave when Fleur came running towards them.
"Sorry! I was caught up in my other class." She said breathlessly. Jake, who was extremely relived but didn't show it so as not to worry Fleur, grinned. The three of them headed towards the Gryffindor table and began to relax back into normalcy as lunch progressed.
"And zat blasted owl ate my letter! Can you believe it?" She demanded. She was talking to Dean and Seamus, both of who were starring at her with drool dripping from their mouths. Jake kept glancing at her and than at his food. It was bizarre, but Fleur always wanted Jake's attention. Now that she had the option of talking to him as she always did, she was ignoring him? Was this another rule girls made up? Jake turned to Selena to ask her.
"Why is Fleur ignoring me?" He asked sheepishly. Selena glanced at Fleur and narrowed her eyes.
"I don't know." Jake threw up his hands angrily.
"Great!"
"No, wait! From what I could tell, Fleur's been dieing for a chance to speak with you. But than why would she NOT speak with you when she has the chance?" Selena mused to herself for a little longer before Hermione plopped down beside her angrily.
"What's the matter with you?" Jake asked, shoveling mashed potatoes into his mouth. He was still pissed about Fleur.
"It's just that there's so much to do!" Hermione said, her eyes slightly dimmer than usual. "I have so much work to do and I can't seem to find enough time to do it all. And we'll be having the O.W.L.S. next year and the finals are going to be harder than ever! To top that off, I'm a little worried." Jake and Selena glanced at her.
"Worried? About what?" Selena asked.
"Well, I don't really want to jinx it. It's just, every year something terrible happens to Harry and Ron to nearly kill them. Our first year it was the Sorcerer's Stone, next it was the entire Chamber of Secrets ordeal which included that horrid Basilisk, our third year was a nightmare because of, well you know, and now the TriWizard tournament! I don't even want to think about next year. We might not even be alive to see it!" Hermione allowed her head to fall to her crossed arms.
"Don't worry about it; I'm sure everything will work out in the end. You wouldn't have lived through all of that if you had to die here." Selena said assuringly.
"Hermione, have you noticed something weird going on with Fleur?" Jake asked suddenly. Hermione's eyes narrowed.
"You mean besides the boys starring at her as if she was a piece of ham? No, not really." Jake sighed and rubbed his face tiredly.
"She's been acting a bit strangely." Selena said. "If she does anything weird in classes when we're not there, will you tell us?" Hermione nodded.
"Sure." Jake still didn't feel as if he was doing enough. Something in his bones told him that Fleur just wasn't safe. He glanced at the High Table and caught Snape's eyes. They glared at each other for a long time before Jake turned away. He knew that if Shadow and his army of angels, a herd of demons, or Voldemort couldn't kill him, than Snape was fully prepared to do it for them.
"Something the matter?" He asked smugly.
"Yes! Where is that so called pug you call your girlfriend?!?!" She demanded angrily. Malfoy blinked, seemingly surprised by her anger.
"Why are you looking for her?" He asked delicately, knowing that he was treading on forbidden ground.
