Chapter 13

It was an overcast afternoon and the gang was having a few butter beers in the Three Broomsticks of Hogsmeade. All of a sudden Snape walks in and sends a strange glance over to our table. Quickly turning around and leaving, Mab gets up and follows him. "I wonder where she's off to," I asked and we quickly followed until we heard shouting.

We hid around the corner and listened. "What the bloody fuck are you doing? You're lurching about here spying on her, her first trip to Hogsmeade, why don't you just go talk to her? What do you want to do? Just sit around and watch her grow up on the sidelines? What kind of man are you?" He responded hotly, "What kind of man am I? I think you should know by now. It's not like I could get close to her, its not like she'd let me."

"Who wouldn't let you?" Snape became even more pale than normal and Mab turns around answering, "Nothing for you to worry about. He's just a lowly Slytherin with no courage whatsoever." Bram asks, "What has the git done this time?" Everybody laughed except for me. I saw pain in his eyes for a moment, which disappeared quickly and he walked away "That was really mean guys," I said and we headed back to Hogwarts at the end of the day.

Dinner was boring and once more Snape was absent. I was I was exiting the Great Hall when someone put their hand on my shoulder. I turned around and saw George. I was shocked to see him, but smiled anyway. "I heard about what happened with Malfoy, the stupid git," he stated, "May I walk you to uh... the Library?" I nodded and I never thought I'd ever see one of the Weasley twins blush. We walked and talked and as we got to the door, I started wondering why Percy was getting so jumpy. I was just about to ask George when I realized we where there. We walked in and the first thing I saw shocked me.

A/N: Sorry perfect cliff hanger.
