Chapter 4
Harry was very eager to take to Orion after last night's duel. What if Hermonie was right about her and she had parts of Voldemort insider like he did. Did she have visions of Voldemort's activities? Could she feel his strong emotions? He had to know. Friday they had the day off and he would sit her down and hopefully get the answers he wanted. Today he had other things to worry about. Hermonie had made him and Ron drop everything that they were doing (which was playing chess) and help her create her organize her notes from the past five years. There was a sea of paper covering the common room. Hermonie sat in the middle of it all while having Harry and Ron run around picking up stacks of parchment three feet high and putting them in their proper boxes.
After an hour of this tiring work with only 1/5 of it done Neville, Seamus, and Dean ran through the portret door trying to talk to them at the same time.
"Slow down, all of you", ordered Hermonie, "That's better. Now Neville what is going on"?
Neville slowly began to speak.
"Down in the court yard. Malfoy cursing. Ravenclaw first years."
The three exchanged looks and made a dash for the door. Neville, Seamus, and Dean followed them. There were a lot of happy looks on the Slytherin's faces, which could only mean trouble. Sure enough, Malfoy had a Ravenclaw first year Andre Rios suspended upside down, five feet up in the air.
"Malfoy, put him down", said Harry
"Not until I get my information, Potter", he snapped back. He turned his attention back up to poor Andrea and shouted, "Where is Fitherpuff"?
"I'm right here", said Orion standing behind Hermonie. Malfoy took the curse off of Andre and he landed with a loud PLOP on the ground.
"I want a rematch. No one here knew you could do all of that," said Malfoy.
"I said right before the duel that I don't use a wand. As in fact the last time I tried to use a wand it exploded." she said a matter of factly.
"But, my snake. You-" he began.
"You are just an evil spoiled brat who can't stand anyone who is not afraid of you. I think you need to do something nice for someone," she said.
"You can't make me do anything," Malfoy snorted.
"Actually I can."
A little sneer spread crossed her face. She brought her hand up to her mouth kissed it. It looked like Orion was going to blow Malfoy a kiss. This was the cause of much confusion by the many stand-byres. When Orion brought her hand away from her mouth a small blue orb was hovering over the middle of her palm. Malfoy turned and ran just as Orion blew it. His efforts were useless. The little orb caught up with him. For a split second Malfoy's whole body turned blue and then nothing happened. Orion smiled.
"There now you have to do one good deed, no matter how big or small. If you don't bad luck will follow you until you do" she said with pride of herself in her voice.
"Mr. Malfoy. Ms. Fitherpuff. What have you two done?"
It was Professor Flickwick with Andre Rios trailing behind him.
I saw everything you to have done from my classroom window. We do not curse each other here", he said in a squeaky but stern voice. "Ms. Fitherpuff takes that curse off him right now!"
"Sorry, Professor Flickwick. I cannot take the spell off of him. He has to do one good deed for the curse to be lifted," answered Orion
"Very well then", said Flickwick. "You both have detention for two weeks in the kitchens helping the house elves wash the dishes. No magic. No arguments Mr. Malfoy. You broke the rules and now you must pay. I will see you both down in the kitchens tonight."
When Professor Flickwick and Andre Rios were back inside the castle Pansy Parkens went up behind Orion and pushed her as she was picking up her books. Harry, Ron, and Hermonie hurried over to her side.
"Take the curse off of him now", she screamed and pointing at Malfoy. The curse was already taking effect. He slipped off the hill they were standing on and barrel rolled into the lake. Now he was crawling on all fours soaking wet.
"Didn't you hear me, Parkens? I can't take the curse off of him. He must do one good deed. Am I not saying it right?" she turn to Harry, Ron, and Hermonie who where failing to repress their laughter. She walked over to Malfoy who finally managed to stand up and said:
"See you in detention."
Harry, Ron, and Hermonie gestured to her to come with them. As she turned Malfoy stumbled again and tumbled back into the lake.
