*~*~*~*~*~*~*Chapter 8: Runes e Potions*~*~*~*~*~*
Adramyttium watched as her sister, Edith, was swiftly translating an old rune book from Latin to English.
"Adi, you've been standing there for ten minutes…what do you want?" Edith asked, her wand flying over an empty piece of paper, rapidly filling it up with strange words and even stranger symbols.
Adramyttium stared a while longer as a picture of a dragon filled up the page she was looking at, and began blowing bright red flames at her.
"I was wondering…the Yule Ball is coming up soon…" Adramyttium trailed off, her pale face turning pink, and not from the dragon's rude expressions.
"Lemme guess, you want me to find out the name of the guy you've been crushing after…right?" Edith said, stopping her work to look at her little sister.
"Well…now that you've mentioned it…" Adramyttium voice trailed off as loud voices and laughter came down the hall. It was her friend Makoto with her group of friends.
Edith watched her little sister, knowing what was on her mind. Edith's wand flickered, and flashed slightly.
Adramyttium blinked from the bright light, and stared with a little shock at the page she had been looking at. One blink and the dragon was gone, replaced by several ancient symbols and runes.
"Sorry, the fellow was getting on my nerves." Edith apologized lightly, her eyes on her little sister.
"So, why aren't you with Makoto right now, you know you have to spend more time with other people your own age." Edith chided slightly, placing her wand back into the teacher's cloak and placing several scrolls into her small blue messenger bag.
Adramyttium's eyes widened. She shook her head violently.
"No! I mean…well, I like people and all, but I feel so different. I guess I'm not really a people's person." Adramyttium said, her longing glance at the door not gone unnoticed by her sister.
"Besides, I was also wondering if you were going to the Yule Ball with something…you know we agreed I had to approve first." Adramyttium said lightly changing the subject to tease her sister.
"Fine, fine…" Edith said in mock resignation. "If I find someone…who likes Runes…can speak French and German and Spanish and Occitian and Quenya, and is cute...ahhh, but an impossible task. Oh well."
Adramyttium smiled inwardly…she had the perfect person in mind. Adramyttium quietly left the room and as Edith became once again engrossed in her work.
Stepping outside the door, Adramyttium's fingers automatically went up to her silver necklace and played with the pendant while she herself was deep in thought, a habit that had followed her since childhood. Whenever nervous or thinking, her hands played with the pendant that hung at the hollow of her white throat.
A decision came to her mind, and with new purpose, she went to the Slytherin girl's chambers. As she entered her room, she lay down on her metallic black covered bed and started to write feverishly in a small metallic notebook.
A hand still playing with the silver necklace.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Makoto watched with little interest as the new Potions teacher, whose name was Roy, complete another fungicide potion with great joy.
'Bo-ring.' She thought as the several of the kids gave a yawn. Sure Snape was a tough teacher, but he at least was somewhat interesting to watch and he made the class challenging, this new guy was okay, but he made the lesson so laid back, easy, and completely mind-numbingly boring.
Closing her eyes, Makoto felt her mental self begin to drift away from the Potions classroom, away from the boredom.
Her mental self opened her eyes and viewed the school from up high, the clouds covering just enough sun so that the fields surrounding Hogwarts were thoughtful looking, rarther then excessively cheery.
Traveling through the school was much easier this way, anyway, all she had to do was think of a place and she'd be there. But Makoto didn't want to go to another class or anything like that, since she had already envisioned the beautiful fields, so she envisioned herself out side, in one of her most favorite locations in the field.
'It's so peaceful here….so….calm.' Makoto thought as she picked up a small vine flowering with dark purple flowers, care to not break it, even though her mental self could do little or no damage to real physical objects, she still felt a need to be careful with the beautiful things of nature.
A sharp jab to her ribs snapped her mental self back into her body so fast it gave her a headache.
Makoto glowered at Malfoy who gave her an innocent look in return, a small smirk giving away if innocence.
'If he wasn't so cute I'd punch him.' Makoto fumed, and then lightly blushed from the thought.
Ignoring Malfoy, Makoto turned her attention to the teacher who had noticed nothing amidst his two prize pupils.
"So for homework write an essay on the varies Fungicide Potions we discussed today, and tomorrow will be a discussion on the work of another basic potion, Herb Fertilizer!" Professor Rot said excitedly, unaware of his inattentive and bored-to-death class.
Makoto gathered her books together in her cauldron, thankful that class was finally over, and walked towards the door.
"The Yule Ball is coming up soon." A voice whispered in her right ear causing shivers to run up and down her spine.
Using her self control to stop her the sensations, Makoto turned to the speaker, her face emotionlessly staring at the speaker.
"Yeah, I know." She told Malfoy, who was standing with his usually arrogant expression on his face.
"Are you going with anyone?" He asked, his expression careless, as if making chit-chat to any other slytherin.
"No, are you?" Makoto said, her face mimicking Malfoy's.
"Yes." Malfoy told her, his smug face telling all.
Makoto's eyes narrowed as two Slytherin girls came up to Malfoy and gave him their flirtiest glances before walking away.
"Well I better go, it wouldn't be good for me to be late in Runes, now would it?" He asked her mockingly, walking after the slytherin girls, leaving Makoto alone in the deserted hallway.
Makoto gritted her teeth. The Nerve of that guy! Malfoy was such a conceited, egocentrically, pig-headed idiotic, baka-
The list continued when a stray thought entered her mind.
For a second she had hoped that Malfoy was going to ask her.
Mentally glaring at herself Makoto preceded to continue her mental rant of the 'virtues' of Malfoy.
Makoto walked rapidly towards Runes, cursing the fact she had a class with Malfoy everyday all the time.
Walking so rapidly, however, Makoto bumped into someone, sending her flying backwards and crashing onto the stone floor, her back hitting the hard floor with painful force.
"I'm sorry, are you okay?" The person said as Makoto struggling not to wince from the pain emitting from her backside.
"I'm fine, are you okay?" Makoto asked, gritting her teeth while giving the boy a slight smile.
"I'm fine. My name's Aven, you probable know my father, he's Professor Roy."
Makoto didn't feel the least bit surprised. 'So this is the guy Adramyttium had a crush on…' She thought, her eyes flashed as the matchmaker part of her came into full power.
"Aven, I was wondering, have you asked anyone to the Yule Ball?" Makoto asked nonchalantly, her eyes carefully watching Aven's expression.
"N-no…why?" He asked back, surprised at Makoto's question.
"Because I was wondering if you'd like to go with me…as a friend." Makoto added, so he wouldn't have any wrong ideas that would never work for a matchmaker in business!
"Sure, that would be great." Aven said, accepting Makoto's invitation.
"Great, how about we meet there?" Makoto asked, her mind still whirling with imaginary wheels clicking into place.
"Alright. Oh no, I'm late for class, bye!" Aven said, running off to his class.
Makoto waved him off before checking her watch…and gasping in horror. She was ten minutes late for one of her favourite classes! Using her scout abilities to run extremely fast, Makoto used all her stealth abilities to quietly slip into the class while Professor Avalon-Fox's back was turned, and quickly sat down in the nearest spot empty, her eyes alternating between checking on the teacher, and glaring at Malfoy, daring him to report her.
"Hello, Miss Kino, I'm so glad you decided to join us. Ten points from Slytherin and a detention for the evening. Now, if everybody could turn their attention back to the board and stop ogling at Miss Kino, we can be on our way." Professor Avalon-Fox said, her hand still writing rune symbols on the board, never once turning her head towards Makoto.
After a moment of mental cursing consisting of 'How did Professor Alavlon-Fox know I was here?' Makoto felt someone's eyes bore into her side.
Turning her head slightly, Makoto glanced over to see Malfoy's intense eyes watching her, his expression emotionless, and his eyes revealing even less emotion.
Feeling slightly uneasy about the look and the feelings it provoked, Makoto opted to ignore it, and took out her parchment paper and began writing notes.
