Chapter Five: Magical Wenches
"Ladies, I would prefer it if you were on time for my classes." McGonnagal shifted up to us. I hung my head, hiding my grin, while Cara popped a mint in her mouth. We took the seat way in the back, side by side. The students slowly turned around to face McGonnagal. She sighed, looking at us from the front of the room.
"Ms Johnston, please sit with Mr. Weasley here…" she gestured to the front where I could see Ron's bright red hair, "And Ms Campbell, come sit with Mr. Malfoy in front. You must sit with your house mates for the time being." I whimpered and Cara laughed. We grabbed our books and sneaked up to the front as McGonnagal harrumphed.
"Now that we are ready," she gave Cara and I a pointed look, "We shall proceed." McGonnagal went on to perform some of her transformations. I just stared. If she expected me to change my book into a butterfly, even that was too much. This was such a huge mistake. Meanwhile, I could hear Cara and Ron laughing as Ron attempted to do his transformation. Draco just snorted. Seriously, how could a snort be sexy? He just managed it. I was in trouble here if I thought his nose noises were sexy.
"Well, Muggle Girl, shall we see you do yours? If you can that is…" He left just enough sarcasm in his voice to show me what he was thinking.
"Kiss your ass, punk." I rolled my eyes. "You go first, you're so tough and pure-blood. Come on boy, come on. Do it, dooo it." Draco turned a man red as the Slytherins around us started to chuckle. He whipped out his wand, it was gleaming black and quite intimidating looking. Muttering the spell under his breath, his text book turned into a huge snake, slithering in front of me. I glared at him, and cocked an eyebrow at the snake. What now? My big mouth was always getting me into trouble.
Staring at the snake, I noticed his green eyes, flashing into pale yellow. Interesting. I felt my fingers tingle and warm up considerably. I grinned. Muttering the words "Sleep now" I ran my fingers down the snake's body. It curled up and fell asleep on top of my text books. Draco stared at the snake in disgust and annoyance. The other students started to laugh and Cara gave me a thumbs up.
"What was that Miss Campbell?" Professor McGonnagal questioned from in front of the class. I had no idea what she was talking about. "Did you do wand-less magic?" She looked quite stern.
"No." I stated. She glared at me. "Well, yes. But I don't know how to do wand magic. I'm a beginner at that. Give me a break." I shrunk down in my chair as everyone started to laugh. Cara joined in but quit after I threw paper at her.
"Very well. Mister Malfoy, you will teach Miss Campbell the basics of wand magic and how to perform spells with her wand. I have no doubt that she will catch on easily enough. Is there anyone else here that does not know how to use their wand?" She stated it rhetorically. Everyone else laughed. Cara put up her hand. They laughed louder as McGonnagal shook her head. "Miss Johnston, you may join in on those lessons with Mister Malfoy and Miss Campbell. I expect to see you both use your wands tomorrow for the next spell you will have to learn." With that, she turned with a flourish, her cape sweeping in a wide arch. We were forgotten, luckily. Cara shared my look of chagrin, but then she brightened up considerably. I couldn't figure her out, that one.
Later on….
"This is so great Tenille!" Cara gushed as we walked out of Transfiguration. I just stared at her. "I mean, we'll have to do lessons in Slytherin, as there are two of you and one of me. Plus, if Draco gets anywhere near Gryffindore, they'll hurt him. Lots of pain. Very messy. We don't want that now, do we?" She questioned, a huge grin on her face.
"Care, you suck. You just like this idea so much because of Snape. You better pay attention to the lessons, not try to seduce my House Master. Is that his name? Do I call him master? No, you'd probably do that though." I laughed as Cara just nodded happily.
"Honey, you don't want to know what I'd call him, especially in the middle of…" She trailed off as I held a hand over her mouth.
"I get it, thank you. Now never again, and we can still be friends." We waved to Hermione and Harry as they hurried past us. Harry had such a cute butt, nice. Tough. Not flat like so many other guy's butts.
"Tenille, quit it."
"What you talkin about?"
"Quit staring AT HARRY'S BUTT!" She yelled, and people turned to stare. I felt my ears go red as Cara started to laugh, leaning heavily on me for support. Tears were coming out of her eyes. I tapped my foot on the ground and waited for her to get control of herself.
"Thank you. Now I'm not letting you into Slytherin tonight. So there!" I laughed as she turned her expression to pleading. She could be such an actress.
"Please, you can't stand in the way of our love Tenille. I'll owe you. I'll quit harassing you about Harry. Please…" She looked up at me beseechingly. I grinned then shrugged.
"Why not?" We entered the dark dank room of our potions class, and we slipped into our seats beside Ron and Draco. Ron and Cara said a happy hi to each other, while Draco grimaced as he saw me slide next to him.
"Careful Draco love, I just might think that you have a crush on me." I smiled at him, very sugary. He gave me a questioning look. "You know, you're just trying to hide your love by all these insults. It's ok. One day, you can be with me. Don't worry." I turned back to my books just as Professor Snape walked in. Draco muttered under is breath and I whispered back, "I love you too Draco Poo." He snorted and I opened my text book, quietly laughing to myself.
"If you don't mind, will you try to pay attention Miss Campbell?" I looked up to find Snape in front of my desk, glowering at me. Out of the corner of my eye, I could make out Cara blowing kisses to him and making kissy faces at his back. I started to giggle and ended up choking when I tried to cut it off. "Is there something in particular that you find amusing Miss Campbell, or are you just disrupting my class for your own pleasure?" Snape questioned again as he walked to the front of the class. Cara batted her eyelashes at him. Tears started to come down my face.
"I'm okay." I manage, as I wipe away my tears. Cara does a little wave to him and he stares at her. I completely lose it as he arches a brow at her then blushes as Cara does a "sexy" wink at him. I think he actually likes it!
"Class, today we will be creating a potion to dissolve love. Of course, if it actually true love it won't work, only confuse the victim for a few hours, but if it false love, or merely a school crush, the love will disappear forever more. It is a very powerful spell, so work with diligence. Try not to mess this one up Mr. Weasley. Miss Johnston, what is it?" Cara was waving her hand madly.
"Professor Snape, um, are we going to be testing this potion in class?" Snape snorted.
"No, we will not. I do not want to be responsible for the breaking up of any True Love cases we might have here at Hogwarts." He sneered in the direction of Hermione and Harry. Hermione looked down at her desk while Harry rolled his eyes at Snape. Cara just looked disappointed.
"Muggle Girl..." Draco started.
"The name is Tenille. I'll even go by Campbell. But really, Muggle Girl is just not what I answer to." I snapped at Draco. He stared at me in surprise. "Oh shut up." I went back to reading and writing the instructions for the potion. Draco shrugged then lughed. He had finally managed to annoy me. Crap.
"Ladies, I would prefer it if you were on time for my classes." McGonnagal shifted up to us. I hung my head, hiding my grin, while Cara popped a mint in her mouth. We took the seat way in the back, side by side. The students slowly turned around to face McGonnagal. She sighed, looking at us from the front of the room.
