Finding Maria

Mary POV

Ginger and I were so scared because when we walked in, a few people turned to look at us and they realized we weren't in this house immediately.

" What are you doing in here Mary? You're not supposed to know how to get in here!" My sister Kaitlyn said surprised.

"Uh… we're on an errand for Professor McGonagall. She wants us to give something to Maria Atrivita. That's all! Then we'll go! Promise!" I said innocently.

Ginger nodded earnestly.

Kaitlyn came over and smiled.

" I know your up to something Mary, and you too Ginger. But stay OUT of trouble! Please! Also NO violence! Maria is up in the girl's dormitories. Don't bother anybody! Come straight back down when you're done. Go on now!" Kaitlyn said smiling, unaware of what we were really going to do.

" Ok, sis. We'll be nice and careful! Bye." I said and hurried Ginger upstairs. "Very nice." I said quietly.

We reached the 1st year girl's dormitory door and knocked.

"Come in. Who is it?" Maria's voice said from inside.

We walked right in and faced Maria. Maria was sitting on her bed reading a book. She looked up smiling but that suddenly faded.

" You girls aren't in Hufflepuff! You don't belong here! Get out! You guys are in Gryffindor! Get out! Get out!" Maria yelled and stood up to face us.

" Excuse me but you don't belong here either! Poisoning Aphrodite like that just to get to Remus! Remus is mine you know and you'll never get him! He's mine and if you want him you've got to go through me!" Ginger said looking angrier than ever.

Maria smirked and said

" He doesn't like you! You're not right for him at all. You're long brown hair and blue eyes don't compare to my beautiful blonde hair and even bluer eyes! He's mine and he likes me too! He only carried Aphrodite up because he's so brave! He likes my sweetness and don't you dare think I'm going to let you get him! Even though you spend so much time with him doesn't mean he likes you! I'm going back to reading so if you don't get out I'm going to curse you!" Maria said getting annoyed.

" You'll never get away with this Maria Atrivita! I challenge you to a duel tomorrow in the Great Hall after lunch! Then nobody will see us but you better watch it! Come on Mary! Let's go!" Ginger said furious.

I backed up and said "Nice to know it was you Maria! Have fun losing to Ginger! Bye!" Then I left with Ginger fuming.

" Who does she think she is anyway? Taking Remus from me like that! When he obviously is mine! He likes me! Doesn't he Mary?" Ginger said to me. By the look on her face I could see she wasn't in the mood for a "no".

"Of course he does! I never see him look at Maria or Aphrodite like he likes them like that! Don't worry! It'll be fine! Come on let's hurry back to the Common Room before someone catches us." I said warmly.

Ginger smiled and we hurried back to the Common Room and slipped in just at 11:30pm. We got in to bed and fell asleep to the sound of howling.
