"Hey Wood! Have a good holiday?" Elora said slyly, giving a
mischievous grin to Adelaide. Now was the perfect time to find out who his
new sweetie was.
"Sure! Thanks, Elora." He said smiling at Adelaide.
Elora noticed that when Wood sat down, he comfortably placed his right hand on Adelaide's knee. She gave Adelaide an odd glance, but she was too busy to notice, as she was whispering something to Wood.
"Guys? Something you'd like to share with the class?" Elora asked.
Suddenly, something clicked in her mind.
"Oh, my, God. Addie, you're the new girlfriend? Oh my God!" She looked completely shocked, and partly furious.
"Well, when we got in our big fight, Oliver came to find me and comforted me. During the summer, we owled each other, and visited each other a few times. I wanted to tell you, I really did!" Adelaide looked flustered and spoke very rapidly, quite opposite to before Wood had arrived.
"I can't believe I didn't know about this." Elora mumbled to herself.
Wood got up and quickly kissed Adelaide on the cheek, "I think you girls need some time alone. I'll see you later, ok hun?" Adelaide nodded, and Wood left the compartment.
"I can't believe you didn't tell me." Elora said quietly.
"Well, after we got in the fight, I wasn't sure that you'd care, or anything. But I really wanted to tell you!" Adelaide exclaimed sadly, "I'm really sorry."
"It's okay, I understand." Elora replied.
"So, we're okay now?" Adelaide asked hopefully.
"Hell ya! You're going out with Wood!" Elora laughed, and Adelaide joined her.
"What's so funny?" a voice asked from the doorway of the compartment.
"Hermione!" Adelaide exclaimed happily, and ran to give her friend a hug.
"So, have you made up with Ron yet?" Elora asked, shooting a grin to Adelaide. Hermione didn't take notice to this, though.
"No, he knows I hate it when he makes fun of Viktor, but he still does it. That idiot, I'll never be finished fighting with him." Hermione sighed, and then shook her head and smiled a little, "He can even be worse than Malfoy sometimes!" Adelaide and Hermione laughed, but Elora didn't.
"Guys, I don't think Malfoy is really that bad," Elora disagreed.
"Are we talking about the same Slytherin? Draco Malfoy?" Adelaide joked.
"Yah, I mean, he's mean to people a lot, but deep down, I think there's something in him that no one else sees." Elora replied shyly.
Hermione laughed and Adelaide stifled a giggle, even Elora grinned, realizing what she had just said.
"Alright, when you can prove that, I'll do all your homework for two weeks!" Hermione laughed, and her friends joined in. Elora surprised herself, and stuck out her right hand.
"Deal!" she replied, now looking very serious. Hermione and Adelaide stopped laughing.
"Really?" Adelaide said, shocked, "I mean, he's the most awful person I know. I don't want you getting hurt!"
"Yah," Hermione agreed, "That's the last thing we want. Then I'd have to hurt him so badly he'd never be able to play a single game of Quidditch ever again."
"No, really. I want to prove it to you guys!" Elora said determinedly, "Besides, I can take care of myself."
"Alright then. Deal!" Hermione shook Elora's hand.
"While you two sort out the terms and everything, I'm going to.uh.go to the bathroom." Adelaide turned a slight shade of pink, and Elora laughed.
"What? What's going on?" Hermione asked, confused. Elora filled Hermione in.
"Oh! Have fun in the bathroom then, Addie." Hermione winked.
"I will thanks!" Adelaide joked, and the three girls laughed as she ran out of the compartment.
"Sure! Thanks, Elora." He said smiling at Adelaide.
