The gossip about the fight didn't die down until the next day, but Harry and Ron were iching to tell Hermione about it. They got their chance on their way to Care of Magical Creatures.
"Did she really?"
"Yeah, you should have seen the Dining Hall, I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it myself," Ron told her.
Harry nodded.
"Y'know, that's not the only thing that's bothering me though. The other girl, Spire, we over heard her talking to Sirius yesterday after class."
Hermione shrugged.
"So?" She huffed and brushed an imaginary piece of lint off her robes.
Harry and Ron relayed the rest of the conversation to her, but she didn't seem very concerned.
"She probably just has a crush on him. You two didn't react this way when I liked Professor Lockhart."
Ron groaned.
"That's because EVERYONE liked Lockhart."
Harry nodded.
"And he wasn't my Godfather."
Hermione shook her head.
"Don't worry about it. Other than the fact that Spire apears to be very academically competitive and Destiny is a bit violent, I think the three of them are rather nice. Especially Faye. She's very . . . experienced."
Hermione blushed slightly and went off ahead of them toward Hargrid's hut. Ron turned to Harry in confusion.
"You saw that right?"
Harry nodded.
"Just checking."
Just then a voice from behind them made them stop.
"Hey, Potter!"
Harry turned to see Destiny and Spire running toward him laughing hysterically, followed by the Weasley twins.
"Hi," Harry said blushing at being addressed by Destiny.
"I don't think we'll be seeing much of Malfoy today," Fred said grinning.
"Why's that?"
Destiny pulled a bottle out of her cloak, and Spire grinned.
"She sweet talked Snape into giving her a pass for the Restricted section of the library, and copied the recipe for that 'Draught of Living Death' potion and whipped up a batch."
George laughed and finished.
"She was looking for someone to test it on and found Malfoy harrassing Neville. So, she slipped some into a muggle drink - - "
"She gave him a soda."
Spire said rolling her eyes.
" - - and asked him if he wanted to try it."
Destiny grinned.
"He's not gonna be happy when he wakes up."
The group burst into laughter and continued on to Hagrid's hut. Fred laughed.
"A girl after my own heart."
George sighed loudly, put his hand to his heart dramatically and sighed.
"I think I'm in love."
"Did she really?"
"Yeah, you should have seen the Dining Hall, I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it myself," Ron told her.
Harry nodded.
