Chapter 6
"Fi! What's goin' on? It's 6 in da bloody morning!" Parvati grumbled, turning over.
"I would've thought you would jump at the chance to torture Malfoy." Felicity grinned as she saw the effect the words had on her friend.
"What? Why didn't you say so in the first place?" Parvati said, jumping out of bed and pulling on her clothes,
"Well, hurry up! I haven't got all day! We have to find him first!" Felicity snapped, as Parvati struggled with her clothes.
As soon as she was finished, Felicity dragged Parvati down the staircase and out the portrait to go in search for Draco Malfoy.
*~+~*
Felicity and Parvati ran down to the Great Hall, flying down the stairs, and sprinting through the corridors.
When they reached the Great Hall, the pair saw a stranger standing there with a trunk in one hand, bag in the other, and a magnificent cloak covering them from head to toe.
They stared at one another for what seemed an age, and finally Parvati remembered her manners.
"Hello, my name is Parvati Patil, and I'm a Gryffindor 7th year. We are pleased to have you here at Hogwarts, and you are welcome to enjoy the whole castle." Parvati summoned her best hostess voice and glared at Felicity to follow suit.
"We welcome you to Hogwarts. My name is Felicity Lu, and I am sure that you will find the castle very cozy. If you need anything, or get lost, feel free to ask any of the students or Professors." Felicity smiled her perfect smile at the stranger.
"I know who you are, Fi. Or don't you remember me? After all, it's only been a couple months," came a girl's voice from underneath the hood. To all the world it sounded pleasant, inviting, nice, without a hint of anger, or jealousy. To all the world except for Felicity.
"Crystal!" Felicity hissed under her breath. "What are you doing here? I thought Hogwarts was below you. Remember?" Felicity glared at the girl with disdain, contempt edging her words, her hands balled into fists. "I thought I'd seen the last of you and your miserable group. I thought that I'd finally escaped from your Coven or don't you remember that either? I thought I'd seen the last of your two-faced Veela antics." Parvati stared at Felicity in awe. She had never seen her friend spit this much venom at one person. "But obviously I was wrong. And if you think you can screw me up this year like you did every other year at Beauxbaton, Crystal well think again. I will curse you into oblivion before you can even work your stupid black magic from your stupid shadow book!" Felicity gasped for breath as she read the shock and the anger emanating from the half-veela. "You haven't got your black friends to help you here, so unless you want to end up in the hospital wing, permanently, I suggest you lay off my case." With that, Felicity span around and pulled a stunned Parvati into the Great Hall.
When they had left, a figure came drifting out of the shadows.
"Don't worry Crys, she's just a paranoid mudblood."
"I know Draco, I know."
*~+~*
Felicity sighed as she watched Harry approach her table. He sat right next to her and began to initiate a conversation.
"So, I heard from Parvati that you're spitting fire at someone. I never thought a girl like you could spit venom." Harry said, his emerald green eyes glittering in the light.
"You wouldn't want to know. Besides, if I told you they'd go on an emotional rampage. Not a pretty sight." Felicity poked at her food and looked around at all the happy faces. The only one who didn't look happy was a blonde-haired grey-eyed git. Malfoy. Felicity pondered this as Harry and Parvati chatted animatedly to her.
"Fi? FI! Felicity!" Parvati shouted in Felicity's ear. She jumped, nearly overturning the whole table.
"WHAT?" Felicity said in exasperation.
"I was merely going to ask whether you were listening or not, obviously you weren't." Parvati said calmly.
Felicity was very tense, and she was feeling snappy. "Well, if you have finished asking questions, I'm going to leave. I don't have time to listen to your stupid antics, Parvati."
Parvati was shocked. She knew Felicity was still blazing, but she didn't know how much. Felicity's words had hurt her, but she knew it was only part of the venom that was building up, just waiting to be used on Crystal.
Parvati sighed and turned to look at Crystal. She didn't seem that bad. What did Felicity say before? Something about shadow books and covens and black friends. What did that mean? Sighing again, she returned to her untouched food, missing the fact that Draco was gone from the Slytherin table.
Crystal narrowed her eyes as she watched her childhood friend leave the Slytherin table. Muttering to herself, she noted that he had gone alone.
*~+~*
Felicity walked quickly, furious at herself for losing it, and angry beyond belief that Crystal had shown up. Why now? Now of all times, when she was just plain happy. Rolling her eyes heavenward, Felicity entered Animagi tower, and collapsed on the couch, only to find Draco's face staring at her.
~+~
"What do you want?" Felicity spat, glaring at Draco with contempt edging the glare, and disdain dripping from her voice.
"I want to give you a hug!" Draco said, his voice laced with sarcasm. Rolling his eyes, he continued. "What do you think I want? I want to know why the hell you lost it when you saw Crystal and why you lost it at the Gryffindor table!"
Felicity groaned emphatically and looked at Draco like he was dumb. "Well, if you know her, then you should understand. She's a bloody black witch, she has a book of shadows that is as thick as Professor Binns' history book that contains all of the goblin wars and info on them, and she tried, or rather the leader tried, to make me join their bloody coven! To top it all off, she's a half-veela and has a mighty temper and she's so fucking annoying. Did I miss anything?" Felicity said, her arms draped around the couch, clearly defining her annoyance in her posture.
"You missed out the fact that her mother is a veela and her father is a death-eater." Draco said, malice filled his voice, and amusement glittered in his cold grey eyes.
"That's great. Anything else that I missed, that your observant eyes saw?" Felicity said, her voice dripping in sarcasm.
"Well she's smart, very Slytherin-ish, pretty, well prettier than you at any rate, and she's very secretive." Draco said, ticking them off his fingers.
"Well thanks for the tip. I just hope I don't have to see her in this tower." Felicity chuckled quietly. "But that couldn't happen since she's such an idiot."
Draco backed out. All the information obtained. Stepping out of the portrait door, he grinned maliciously. This was going to be good.
*~+~*
"Draco! Hey Draco!" came Crystal's clear voice, ringing through the corridor. Draco turned around, waiting for her to catch up. "Guess what? I got into Animagi Tower! I'm supposed to replace a Ravenclaw. That means I am better than her!" Crystal's fake, sweet voice danced around the hall, and Draco rolled his eyes.
"Stop moving!" he commanded. Crystal gazed at Draco with her deep blue eyes. "And don't look at me like that. You know perfectly well it doesn't work!" he barked. Crystal glared at Draco and flounced off to Animagi Tower.
Malfoy smirked. Things were about to get interesting.
*~+~*
The day passed and pretty soon Crystal was flirting with all the boys. She noted that Felicity liked Harry and Draco. Crystal raised an eyebrow at the thought. Basically everyone in Gryffindor hated Draco and his cronies. Brushing aside the thoughts, she pounced on Draco and started flirting outrageously.
Felicity watched from her seat by the fire as Crystal flirted with Draco, who was reading a Quidditch Tactics Book. Felicity nearly snorted at the idea of Draco studying at all. Narrowing her eyes, she noted that Crystal was merely playing all the boys. Her attention seemed focused on Draco.
Felicity nearly cursed Crystal for taking Draco away from her. Felicity stopped. Where in the world did that come from?
Felicity shook her head, exasperated. That girl was always flirting. This situation was no different.
Her whole mind and body was screaming LIAR! YOU KNOW SHE'S UP TO SOMETHING! Felicity sighed. She couldn't study for her potions essay with all that racket going on! Picking up her stuff, Felicity stalked off to her dorm.
Parvati looked up from her bed. Felicity walked in, looking very annoyed. Trying her luck, Parvati asked timidly, "Something bothering you Fi?"
Felicity looked up, her gaze softened as she considered her answer.
"Not bothering, irritating. That half-veela is flirting with every single goddamn boy down there, including Draco. Can you imagine someone flirting with Draco?" Felicity smiled, despite her mood. The thought amused her, and apparently it amused Parvati too.
"Well, you know veela's can't help but show off." Parvati stopped, thinking about what Felicity had said when she first saw Crystal. "Fi, what did all that stuff you said before mean? I mean the stuff you said when you first saw it. About the shadow book and the coven?"
Felicity looked up from her book. "It's a long story." Felicity's eyes glazed over as she remembered what happened.
*+~+*
"Hey! Felicity!" called Anastasia, as she raced down the hall. Felicity spun around, staring at the brown-haired half-veela that was racing down the hall.
"Yes?" Felicity asked stiffly. Felicity didn't like loud people, especially this one.
"Felicity, our group was wondering whether you were a strong, or powerful witch. Because we thought you could come join our coven!" the girl exclaimed happily.
"Your coven?" Felicity mumbled, confused. "But isn't that for black witches and stuff?"
Anastasia looked worried. "No, no! We just call our group a coven, because it sounds cool!" she lied unconvincingly.
Felicity stared at the veela in amazement. "There is no way I am becoming a black witch! I don't want anything to do with you, or your coven. Got it? I haven't got a book of shadows, never have and never will. Get lost before I curse you into oblivion."
Immediately the demeanor changed. "Fine! Ignore the offer, but you will regret it! I will make sure that your life is a living hell!" hissed the girl, before running off.
Felicity shook with the coldness that the girl had said the words with. Felicity turned and marched off, unaware of the many pairs of eyes that watched her in the darkness.
*+~+*
"And that's it?" Parvati asked, her eyes were wide with shock, her jaw dropped in horror.
"Yep. That's it. They didn't bother me until ages after. But that's a different story. One you don't want to hear." Felicity stared out the window, wishing that she had come straight to Hogwarts. How those black witches had made her life hell! But that was gone, they couldn't hurt her now.
How wrong Felicity was, she didn't know. Crystal was going to make life at Hogwarts hell.
*~+~*
