Disclaimer: (forgot that I need one of these.) Erm, I own Sylph and if
there's any plot, I own it too.I think. =] Everything else, you can have.
A/N: argh, I forgot all about DADA (crappers =T, how on Earth can I forget the most important class?! ), well my whole schedule for Hogwarts is messed up as is, so I'm just going to put them in whatever classes I feel like at the time.
My spacing isn't working either, my chapters just seem to upload in this cramped looking way. Sorry if this irks you as much as it does me.
Chapter 5
"Well Miss Chen, I'm glad you deigned my class worthy of your presence."
Flushing, Sylph muttered something along the lines of, 'stick up ass.'
With narrowed eyes, Professor McGonagall told her to take a seat and that would be five points from Gryffindor. Sylph nodded and walked over to an empty seat next to Seamus Finnagin.
Quite surprising since only a few minutes ago it had been occupied by a Miss Parvati Patil (who was now practically foaming at the mouth sitting next to Neville).
Professor McGonagall continued with the lecture on transfiguring objects to take on human appearances. As soon as the attention was off of her, she relaxed in her seat and took out an enchanted quill.
Grinning happily she set the quill to a blank piece of parchment and murmured, "Settings. Note-taking. Speed. One, as spoken. Two, as written. Save. Begin."
With the quill's hurried scratching, she leaned back in her seat and took out a comic book entitled, 'Fables,' from her bag.
She noticed Seamus staring at her but decided to pretend he wasn't there, but found it hard to ignore when he started to whisper to her.
Mustering his most charming lopsided grin, he whispered out of the corner of his mouth, "You must be something else. Not many people can throw bacon and eggs at Hermione Granger and get away with it, let alone get to class late without so much as a care."
Knowing that Seamus had quite the playboy reputation (Draco had warned her in true big brother fashion), Sylph turned her eyes to him and coolly retorted, "Hermione is a good hearted person (she didn't want rumors to start so soon), just too, and I really mean way too annoying for my taste, and I was only late to class because I had to change clothes. Unlike the Head Girl I prefer not to be decorated with breakfast while in class."
She noticed that the Irish playboy continued staring at her, but now with open admiration for some weird reason. She rolled her eyes and returned to her comic book where Rose Red was about to clock her sister, Snow White, her eyes eagerly scanning the pages.
"Miss Chen! Please come to the front of the classroom."
Groaning (She had just been at the point when the shootout started on the animal farm!), she closed her comic book and got up from her seat, making her way to the front.
Glaring at the Professor because of the interruption she asked what exactly she wanted from her.
Raising an eyebrow McGonagall curtly told her that if she had been paying attention, she would know that she had asked Sylph to transfigure the table into something resembling a human.
Sylph shrugged and made a few motions with her hand, a flick of her wrist and mumbled humanize stuffis (A/N: lol I'm so bad at this stuff). With a soft 'poof'-ing sound, the table was transfigured into a rather overweight woman dressed in a tight pink dress; who surprisingly resembled the fat lady who guarded Gryffindor Tower.
There was a mix of gasps for the wandless magic, and snickering for the great imitation of the fat lady, from the class.
Checking on her absolutely wonderful work, Sylph smirked at Professor McGonagall, "Was that all Professor?"
Fixing the arrogant girl with a piercing glare, she nodded curtly and announced that she would get five points for the feat.
'Wow that sure as hell makes a difference,' she thought.
On her way back to her seat, Sylph caught Harry's eyes and smirked at his wink and smile, as well as Hermione's withering glower.
****
Dinner was now in session, and poor Harry was sitting smack dab between the two snarling girls. He really had no choice in his seating arrangement, seeing that no one was willing to sit too close to them.
Ron on the other hand, thought it was all rather hilarious and snuck a few sniggers into his napkin which immediately turned into tears (Hermione has mean pinching fingers).
The rest of their classes went by semi-smoothly (when Hermione and Sylph weren't contending) but when Professor Flitwick had become ecstatic at having another star student, he had the ever so brilliant idea of pairing them up.
The result had been Hermione coming out singed with Sylph sporting a bump on the head and a sore shoulder. Needless to say, they had been sniping at each other all morning, and that was putting it kindly.
"Can't believe that, what the hell do you call it? PMS? Bleeding? Oh whatever! That Charms Professor is a total ass-"
"Arse. Oh, and you were looking for the word 'bloody.' Sometimes I wonder how Yanks can stand speaking like that."
Sylph turned her narrowed gaze to the suddenly quiet Gryffindor seeker, "Would you like to correct me again O Great Grammar King?"
With his chin tucked firmly against his chest, she barely heard the muffled, "No Ma'am."
She gave him a curt nod before pushing herself away from the table. Smiling at Ron and Harry she said, "I think I'll go sit with Draco for this meal, I doubt I could stand the stench of burnt bitch. See ya later guys."
****
Ginny was sitting on Draco's lap while munching on a chicken drumstick, without a clue that her boyfriend was drooling on her sweater.
"Hey lovebirds, mind if I grab a chair?"
Draco smirked at Sylph, "After all the hissing and scratching today, you deserve it."
Ginny lifted an eyebrow, since she wasn't a seventh year and turned her attention to the raven haired teen, "You were turned into a cat?"
Sylph blinked a few times before bursting out in loud laughter which was followed by Draco.
Frowning, the youngest Weasley grumbled, "What is so funny?"
Still grinning, but also not in the mood to be in the dog house, the silver blonde kissed the side of her neck and chuckled, "Dear fairy here decided to up show Granger for once. And you know Granger, she couldn't stand it. Let alone that Syl's temper is absolutely awful when you get an attitude with her, so you can see where this is going. But it became all out war after Flitwick partnered them. Hey! Don't look at me like that, it wasn't my fault!"
Glowering at her best friend, Sylph sniffed, "Can I help it if that freakishly studious bitch likes to pick fights with me?!"
Flinching at the near screech in her voice, Ginny being one of Hermione's best friends, gently asked, "How has she been picking fights with you?"
Draco groaned, knowing that Syl wouldn't take his girlfriend's innocent question, lightly. Also, he knew that once she got angry, Ginny would get angry, then they'd both turn to him and they'd both be angry at him as well as each other.
He started to mumble about evil twisted violent females under his breath.
And then it began.
"Excuse me? The girl has been in my face just because I didn't answer one of her nosy questions!"
"Well, there's certainly no reason to raise your voice!"
"Same to you!"
Both girls glared hard at each other and Draco knew they'd turn on him in just a few seconds.
But then something happened.
Something absolutely frightening.
"Heh heh heh, ha ha ha , HA HA HA!"
"HA HA HA HA HA HA!"
They.they were laughing.
They were sincerely laughing.
But it wasn't just that.they were laughing while sitting at the Slytherin table.
Draco had never been more embarrassed when he realized Sylph had stopped laughing, he thought that was bad enough, and was threatening everyone with a spoon (at least pick a fork!) for looking at them weird.
Ginny hopped off of Draco's lap, with a protest from the seat, and grinned at Sylph, "You really aren't as much a bloody bitch as I thought."
Sylph snorted, "Wait till my monthly friend comes by, but other than that, I'll take it as a compliment. And just to let you know, you aren't the pushover I thought you were either."
The two females smirked and nodded at each other respectfully.
The redhead kissed her boyfriend soundly on the lips which only resulted with them openly snogging instead of her leaving.
When a loud cough, stamp of foot, shouting and other subtle interventions didn't work, the third wheel decided to go eat by the lake. Grabbing a hero, tons of napkins, which she stuffed into her pocket, and a jug of pumpkin juice, she left after rolling her eyes at the pair.
****
"I swear there's too much hormone crazed teens in this school. They should just declare a national snog day here. Hey! I'm using that 'snog' word! Heh I'm sooo good. Hrm.maybe I should stop talking to myself."
"Well it would be pretty interesting if you kept it up."
Whirling around with her pumpkin juice jug and hero brandished, she was ready to deal some major damage.
Harry's eyes widened at the offending food before laughing, which caused the corners of his eyes to crinkle, which led to Sylph berating herself for smiling back.
With one last stamp on her happy sappy part, she pointed her hero at him, "Why are you following me?"
He stared at her thoughtfully for a second before ducking his head slightly and taking a bite out of her hero.
Gaping at him and then at her salami and cheese hero, she sputtered, "You.you ATE my FOOD!"
His emerald eyes twinkled as he swallowed.
Oh, that was certainly not his eyes' best idea.
Her face darkened right before she lunged at him.
'Yeah you better widen!" she thought savagely at Harry's eyes.
The Boy Who Lived was now The Boy Who Was Sat On.
Calmly, Sylph settled into an Indian style position before pulling out a napkin, settling it on her lap while taking large bites from her hero with the occasional swig of juice.
Harry just stared at her throughout the process.
As she polished off the last bite, Sylph seemed to remember that he was lying underneath her 'arse,' she asked, "Would you like some pumpkin juice?"
He hesitated, worried that any sudden movements might bring certain death, he slowly shook his head, 'no.'
She shrugged and looked at the half empty jug, "You know, when Hunter used to offer this stuff to me when I was a kid, I thought I'd puke. I mean pumpkins?! I can understand apples, oranges, hell even cranberries! But pumpkin juice? Now that I tried it, it doesn't taste so bad, at least when it's freezing cold and numbs your taste buds."
"That's.er.very enlightening."
Chuckling, Sylph got up and offered him a hand, which he took.
Surveying him while he dusted off, she winked, "My food is my own, if you want some, go get your own. That's my policy baby, remember it. Now Harry boy, why did you follow me?"
"Just wanted to see how you were adjusting and if you wanted to talk."
Eyeing him for a moment, she nodded suspiciously before smiling slightly, "Sure, let's go sit by the lake."
****
"I'm glad she doesn't hate me. I thought that was it right there. I still can't believe I said that! If she didn't laugh I don't know what would have happened!"
"Stop ranting love."
Ginny took deep breaths before relaxing into Draco's arms. She snuggled in deeper and kissed his Adam's apple, "Sorry Dragon, I just don't think I could bear it if she hated me.I mean, she's your best friend."
He pulled her in closer and buried his face into her hair and whispered, "Even if she did, it wouldn't matter. I'd just have to beat some sense into her, literally."
Giggling, she moved her lips to his chest and murmured, "That would be wrong. Besides, she's like a sister to you."
Draco pulled away slightly and tilted her chin up, so her eyes met his.
"Yes, she's like a sister to me, and as a sister she's protective, but that doesn't give her or anyone else the right to pick who I choose to be with. Now, Virginia Weasley, stop worrying about how Sylph reacts to how loud you breathe, and snog me silly."
With eyes overly bright, she was more than happy to comply with the added bonus of a few wicked ideas.
Please review and make my pathetic life a tad bit more happy? (sob stories usually work don't they? ^_~ )
