Chapter 5: Rumors can be true sometimes
A/N: thanks to NayNymic for the cool review + suggestion. I promise Amy/Eric Romance v. soon, maybe even this chapter…read to find out.
Amy sulked back up to
her dormitory. That dumbass Malfoy got her detention on the first day of
classes! 'If he hadn't been jerking off….' Amy thought to herself but then
quickly rethought it. He probably wasn't jerking off, maybe he just couldn't
sleep either. Amy shook her head. Why was she suddenly showing sympathy for
Eric? He wasn't for her.
The next morning Chris, Sam, and Amy sat at the Gryffindor table examining their schedules.
"Ugh!" said Chris loudly "Double Potions Monday and Friday!"
Amy shared the same disappointment Potions was the first for Monday and the last for Friday
"Great" declared Sam "We start and end our week with Snape."
"So what have we all got planned tonight?" Chris asked eager to change the subject
"Detention." Amy said blankly
"Why?" Chris and Sam asked curiously.
"Last night I had this dream, I woke up scared shit and decided to go for a walk. I bumped into Malfoy and McGonagall caught us."
"That sucks." Said Chris and went back to his waffles.
"Wait, hold up." Said Sam "What dream?"
Amy looked at her watch, they had 20 minutes until class began "Let's go up to the dormitory, I don't want anyone to hear. Besides I forgot my Potions book anyway."
As they made their way up to the dormitory Amy began to describe her dream and the night before vividly. Sam who was very interested in dreams was paying attention, Chris on the other hand was just complaining that he didn't get to finish his breakfast.
When they entered the dormitory Sam asked Amy "Do you have any idea who the guy might be?"
"Not really I didn't see his face."
"Well, think about it. Your dad disapproved of the whole 'loving him' thing. Then Mystery Guy takes you away from him only to find out that he screams and most likely dies because he loves you."
"Well I don't know for sure if it was him screaming or if the light was like a killing spell."
"It probably was, and don't hate me for saying this but whose the only family that your dad thinks is pure evil?"
"It can't be…"
"Think about it Amy." It was Chris, he had been unusually quiet through the whole thing "You have been talking about him a lot and during breakfast you kept glancing at the slytherin table."
"Yeah, but Malfoy?" Amy said in complete shock.
"Look its almost time for potions you get your books and me and Chris will see you there." Sam said, she probably knew Amy needed some time to think about this.
"Ok see you guys there." As they left Amy hurried up to her room and grabbed her Potions book 'Malfoy?' she thought to herself. In a way it did make sense with her father forbidding it and all.
As she made her way down to Potions she met up with Kathy, a slytherin girl with long blonde hair and blue eyes. She was nice, for a slytherin girl, very pretty too. She had a reputation as a slut, but Amy knew better. She might have been spoiled with designer clothes and jewelry, but she was nice.
"Hey Amy." She said
"Hey Kathy, how was your vacation?"
"Good, look I need to tell you something," Kathy's voice dropped to a low whisper "Eric has been talking about you a lot, almost like he's in love with you."
"WHAT!!!" Amy said suddenly but was quickly stopped by Kathy's hand over her mouth.
"That's between you and me, I won't tell anyone, you can't either." Her serious tone then formed into a laugh "Lucky bitch I tried to snag Malfoy for a year till I met my boyfriend Jason. I've gotta go, Transfiguration."
"Bye."
Later that night Amy decide to tell Chris and Sam about Kathy.
"You shouldn't trust her, she's a Slytherin." Chris said, he had a problem with trusting Slytherins.
"Chris, shut up, Kathy is nice." Sam said defensively, she was friendly towards Kathy as well.
"I dunno, she might have just heard wrong or something. I mean Malfoy…" Amy's voice trailed off into thought.
"Amy, Rumors can be true." Sam said
"Sometimes." Finished Chris "She only heard it from one person and I don't want to see her get hurt over what someone said."
"Look guys I appreciate this and everything but nothing is going on, me and Malfoy despise each other and my dream could of just been a coincidence." Amy said eager to stop their arguing, but it wasn't working
"See." Said Chris snobbishly to Sam
"You just can't deal with the fact of her and a slytherin!"
"Guys just stop it! I gotta go I'm going to be late for detention."
Amy left the dormitory in a hurry, whenever Chris and Sam went at it she usually got stuck in the middle and she wasn't in the mood for it now. As she walked to the Dungeon Malfoy crept back in her mind. 'It's not possible! Kathy is a gossiper and---' Amy's thought was cut off by Malfoy of all people bumping into her.
"We have to stop meeting like this." He said jokingly and opened the dungeon door for her, McGonagall had left their punishment to Snape because she had something to attend to that night. She smiled one of her flirtatious smiles, then realizing she just did and quickly pinched herself.
"It's about time you two got here." Snape said as he handed them two dirty rags "You are to clean the trophies, they haven't been cleaned for a few months so you two should have a lot of fun."
Eric once again held the door for Amy as they approached the trophy room.
A/N: Amy/Eric romance next chapter definitely! I'll probably start from Eric's pov though R/R please! My friend also pointed out to me that I might have to change the rating to R cause of all the fowl language…that's what I get for growing up in the city.
