Thank you for reviewing. This is a very interesting part about Maria and Aphrodite's jealousy.
Maria and Aphrodite
After lunch they had Herbology. All of us walked out onto the field with the Hufflepuffs once again that day. Remus and Maria were getting along quiet fine talking quietly about D.A.D.A that they had the next class. Ginger was looking a little jealous at the sight of Remus with Maria with her wavy blonde hair and blue eyes. Aphrodite and Scott were just talking to each other. James and Lily were once again fighting and Sarah and I were just trying to break it up. Thomas was about to hurt Peter until Sirius protected him. They all got at the green houses and Professor Sprout all asked them to get into partners.
Aphrodite immediately went to Remus and she looked at Maria with a triumphant look and then asked politely if she could sit next to Remus. Remus agreed and sent Maria an apologetic look, Maria then smiled at Remus but glared at Aphrodite's smirk. Ginger looked so mad at Aphrodite but sort of pitied Maria for not getting to sit next to Remus even though Ginger really wanted to sit next to him. So to Ginger's annoyance she had to sit with Peter while Maria was with Sarah, James and Lily, and Sirius and I. Chassidy had to sit with Thomas. They all had to learn about Venus Fly Traps.
" Isn't that a muggle plant? Its not magical." Lily said, confused.
Professor Sprout laughed.
" These are magical Venus Fly Traps. They not only eat flies but they eat any insect that comes near them. When they turn blue they are about to spit out poison so do watch them carefully. Wear your dragon hide gloves just in case."
Professor Sprout said, smiling.
Lily looked at it like it might spit poison any minute.
" Scared tiger? I thought tigers were braver than that." James said smirking.
Lily narrowed her eyes.
" I'm not a tiger any more that Sirius is a good little boy."
"I'm a good little boy! See?" Sirius said putting on an innocent expression.
Everyone laughed.
" The day you are a good boy Sirius is the day you go to Azkaban." Sarah said laughing.
" Why would thy go to Azkaban? Thy is to innocent!" Sirius said while mocking a fantasy person.
" You are so weird Sirius! Mary and you would look so good together!" Ginger said laughing.
I blushed in embarrassment. Sirius grinned and turned to me.
" My fair lady. Thy thought they should never see you again! How wonderful it shall be when we marry!" Sirius said.
That got extreme embarrassment and a lot of laughs.
We all took notes on the plants while they snapped at insects around the room. Then since I guess no one was looking, there was a scream and Aphrodite was on the floor. We all turned in that direction and stared.
She had a big bruise on her arm and it was blackish-blue.
" The Venus Fly Trap must of shot poison at her! I didn't see it do that though!" Remus said panicked.
Professor Sprout went over to Aphrodite quickly and said
" Somebody take her up to the hospital wing! Quickly!"
Remus took her and ran with her in his arms all the way to the castle. I saw Ginger looking really worried. It was probably about Remus's safety.
I walked over to Ginger to comfort her but then I saw a bottle on the ground near Aphrodite that no one else could see. It had a skull on it. I looked at it confused for a moment and then it clicked. Somebody had poisoned Aphrodite with the bottle of poison. I looked around and saw Maria with a strange looked on her face. It was like a twisted half smile. Then I realized it was Maria who had done it for she was trying very hard not to smile. She wanted Remus to herself and she would do anything (even poison) to make that happen. I looked at Ginger who was surprisingly crying lightly.
I was just about to say something when Maria walked over to her and pushed me rudely out of the way and I heard her whisper " If you take Remus from me then it will be you next who is poisoned. If you tell, you will be poisoned. Beware Bennett."
Then she walked over to Scott Dragon and must have said something equally frightening because he went white and ran in the direction of the castle. He was probably going to the Hospital Wing. Professor Sprout didn't even try to stop him. She was muttering about how venomous plants should have alarms that ring when they will throw poison.
I glared at Maria (although she didn't see) and said to Ginger
" Its alright. I heard her. We will figure out a way to turn her in. Don't worry."
Ginger smiled gratefully but was still crying and said
" Thanks Mary. I' m worried about what that witch will do to Remus if she gets her hands on him for to long. She should have been in Slytherin!" Ginger said angrily.
" Maybe the
Sorting Hat is breaking down." I said laughing.
And for the first time since the incident Ginger smiled and laughed too.
