Chapter 5

Inessa was making her way to the library, she had just heard that another cheesy romance novel had been bought and she had to be the first person to check it out. 'That's odd; it looks like a body is just floating up those stairs.hmm. Oh my gods!'

"Blaise! Blaise!" she quickly saw who was levitating her up the staircase, "Cy! What happened? Is she alright?!"

"I don't really know that is why I came to find you. I knew you studied with a Medi-Witch and I didn't want to take her to the Hospital Wing, besides I don't think I could find it."

"And bringing her to me would be quicker? Oh well, come on let's hurry and get her back to my dorm. Now what happened to her?"

"I'll explain when we are in private. Hey why are you so keen on helping her, I didn't even think you knew her?"

"Well, we have met, she let me see her book for Transfiguration earlier today, before she went to Potions. You know me, bought it only a few days ago and I already have no clue where it is."

Up in Inessa's dorm Cy set Blaise down on the bed. Inessa began checking her over and doing some scans with her wand.

"So, you think she is going to be alright. I mean when I found her she was just, oh gods I hope she's okay."

"Cy calm down she'll be fine, she just seems to have passed out. From what I don't know though."

"Draco Malfoy"

"What? Oh that cute-" Nessa cut herself off quickly realizing that this wasn't a good time.

"He was yelling at her and I think he was about to rape her I don't know, I'm probably exaggerating."

Inessa looked shocked and furious at what Cy had told her but she wanted to remain calm since it seemed that he was still shaken. "Why don't you wait here until Blaise wakes up and then take her back to her common room. Do you have any classes this afternoon?"

"Yeah but I'll just skip, I think this is more important."

'Yeah me too,' thought Nessa, "I'm gonna go so the two of you can be alone, umm, yeah see ya later." Nessa was a little distracted because her mind was buzzing with so much information. Everything started to piece together in her mind, which was amazing cause normally she wasn't so observant. She wound up in the dungeons, and began searching for Draco, she was a girl on a mission.

Jonnie was walking back to his common room when he saw Cy helping Blaise leave the room, 'Odd why are one Gryffindor and one Slytherin leaving the Ravenclaw common room, together for that matter. Hey that's Cy, okay now I am even more confused. I'm not going to dwell on it, I have more important things to do, like find Padma.'

Jonnie said the password and climbed in the room. He was sure that Padma ran up here after class, which now that he thought about Nessa wasn't in class neither was Shannon or Noah. 'What's wrong with them first day of class and they are already skipping.'

Padma was seated on of the chairs in front of the hearth. She was curled up reading a book on divination.

"Hey, umm, aren't you going to head down to lunch, Padma?" Jonnie asked timidly.

She looked up when she realized who it was, "Well I don't know would you be minding if was at the same table as you." The comment came out a harsher than she intended.

"Look, Padma I'm sorry for exploding on you like that yesterday, I really am. It's just with so much going on I just feel totally overwhelmed." It seemed to her like he was going to say more but thought better of it.

"Okay, apology accepted, now let's get down to lunch if we don't get there soon there won't be much food left!"

"Alright"

Padma left her book on the chair and hurried out of the common room after Jonnie. Once on the stairs she asked,

"Hey did you see a Gryffie and Snake leaving the common room not moments before you came in?"

"Yeah actually I was planning on asking you about that."

~-~

"Thanks Cy for walking me down here, and finding me, and taking me to get help. Wow wouldn't know what do to without you around." Blaise laughed and the said the password to her common room.

"Yeah I know you can be so helpless. Are you sure you don't want anything to eat?"

"No I think I'll just rest until my next class"

"Okay, if you're sure. Oh shit, I have a Quidditch date I'm five minutes late for, see ya Blaise! I'll still owl you about doing something later!" And Cy was off sprinting up the stairs.

Halfway near his own common room Cy spotted Harry, Ron, and a few others from Gryffindor with broomsticks out near the Front Hall.

"Hey guys! Wait up!"

Harry turned on hearing someone yelling, " 'Oy Cy where have you been?"

"Things took a little longer than I thought, hey what's wrong with Ron?"

"Oh well he won't talk about it but he missed his last class and he's really been in a sour mood since Potions so we're going to let him get his aggression out by firing a bunch of quaffles at him while he protects the goal, should help him relax a bit."(A/N: I changed his position from a beater to keeper since now we know Ron is a keeper (!)

"Yeah firing balls at him will sure help him relax."

"You've just got to understand the science behind Quidditch. Hey there's Hermione." Hermione was racing off towards the library at amazing speeds, typical, " 'Mione aren't you going to come and watch us practice!?"

"Oh sorry Harry but I made plans to meet someone at the library and I'm late! Bye!"

"Wonder who she's meeting?"

"Hey Harry," Cy nudged him with his elbow, "If you need a girl to be watching to play better there's Laura, she's a friend of mine from America, I think she went to Ravenclaw. I know she played sports at our old school, not sure if it was Quidditch though."

"Sure invite her along."

"Hey Laura." Laura was walking out of the Great Hall, since she had been alone at lunch she hadn't really felt up to eating.

"Hey Cy, I haven't seen you in forever, well I guess not since yesterday which really isn't that long. Where are you going?"

"Oh, well we're heading out to play a little Quidditch, wanna join?"

"Do I! Of course I love Quidditch, didn't you know I played seeker on our club team back at Salem!"

"Well no, I didn't even know we had a team, never was much into-" but he couldn't finish Harry had already pushed him out of the way and began to talk to Laura.

"Wow, you play seeker? I'm seeker for the Gryffindor team, been playing for six years."

"Cool, yeah I would love to scrimmage you in a little match for the snitch, but I don't feel like playing in a skirt today." The group trotted out onto the field to have their short practice. Ron followed behind them, still scowling.

'GRR! Girls, they always cause such trouble, well I need to stop thinking about Shannon. I'll just get some good practice in, that's all I need.'

Colin was sitting in a comfy chair next to one of the huge windows in the library, looking outside he could see a group of students heading towards the Quidditch pitch. A door slammed, he looked up and saw Hermione. She was panting like she had gotten here in a hurry, and it was a good thing they were the only two in the library or she would have been in big trouble for slamming the door.

"Oh Colin I am sorry I am running late, got held up by Harry. What are you reading?"

"That's no problem, I only just got her 'bout a minute ago. Oh this book, it's a Hogwarts: a History have you read it?"

"Have I read it? Oh I am completely in love with that book, you'd never have guessed all of the interesting things that have gone on this school. But here borrow mine, I have the revised edition along with any notes I may have scribbled in the margin." She handed him a very worn leather bound book, inside it had her name written in her very neat handwriting.

"Thanks Hermione."

"No problem."

"So, what are you reading?"

"Well actually I am finishing up a report I did over the summer on Arithmancy."

"Arithmancy? I don't believe I've taken that, but I do have the class this year."

"It's my favorite class, if you need any help in it at all, ask me."

"Don't worry I will."

"Oh this is great!"

"What is?"

"I just love actually having someone to talk to who is as eager as I am to learn. It is just such a change to whom I am used to hanging out with. Do you wanna meet here after dinner tonight, wait I got better idea, there is a library at the top of the East tower and only the Head girl and boy know the access to it, wanna join me there?"

"Yeah I would love to, only I don't have a clue where the East tower is?"

"That's alright, we'll meet here and I'll show you."
