Chapter Two- Hard to Get
As the days progressed, Dise has been hanging around Harry and his friends for a long time. She's been getting closer and closer to Ginney and Hermione. When ever night falls they would stay up late and talk about anything they can think of. But for some reason the Malfoy subject always comes up. Hermione and Ginney tells Dise about their past four years with him.
"Oh, that brat!" Dise yells. "how can he be so mean! What makes him to be that way anyways, does he need to have the attention!, ugh….I just wanna…wanna…kill him!!!"
"Maybe because his father's a Death Eater!" Answered Hermione.
"Yeah, he only acts that way because his father works for the Ministry and is one of the many loyal Death Eater for You-Know-Who!" Ginney added.
"oh man… what a dung head! Piece of scum!" cursed Dise. Everyone laughed and then as the laughing faded. They all wanted a change of subject hoping that the subject wouldn't come up again.
"Well you know the Wizard Challenge is coming up! I can't wait to join," Ginney said with excitement.
"Ginney you well know that you can't join. Your only a fourth year," Hermione said in a comforting voice, Ginney looked disappointed, but knew the fact already.
"What's the Wizard Challenge?" said Dise questioningly.
"Oh! It's great it happens once every year for fifth, sixth and seventh years. You have to have a certain grade to join. It's this really great maze kind of thing. You have to know certain jinx and hexes from Defense Against the Dark Arts class. And you walk through the Forbidden Forest with Professors lurking around to watch you! And you have to follow a trail to get through the maze. You go through certain problems like defeating boggarts and spiders and such. And once you get through with it you move on along the trail. Who ever gets out, succeeding, wins their House 300 points, get 400 Galleons to keep. It's kind of like the Triwizard, but for everyone in the upper class, there's no limit to who can join. They also have days set up for Houses to go. Once the Houses are chosen, they have to go and team up together in order to get through the maze. And once they do get through together, the Professors will chose the best players in both of the Houses and then team them up as one individual team, then who ever wins that round will go against the next best team. Then you can figure out who will win the prize.," explained Hermione.
" What's the point of it anyways? To have fun?" asked Dise.
"Well basically yeah, and to see that the Houses are getting along well enough. It's fun, really. And of course Gryffindor and Slytherin never get the chance for the prize. It's always Ravenclaw. Their brains play most of the parts." sneered Hermione.
"Well that really does sounds like fun. Hey I guess I'll try for it. It might even help me with my Defense in case I wanted to hex someone," proclaimed Dise. Everyone laughed because they all knew who she was talking about. Once they finally felt sleepy one by one they went back to their own beds and went to sleep.
The next day Dise was woken by Hermione and Ginney yelling at her to wake up or else she'll miss breakfast. Dise finally woke up got dressed (for some random reason she felt like dressing up today she wanted to look……pretty) and went out together with her friends. The three best friends walked down to the Great Hall. Once they all entered all eyes were on them, they walked down with the only sounds of their own footsteps following them. Every guy gapped at them and every girl looked at them in amazement and jealousy. Once they sat down Ron looked at Hermione.
"wow, Hermione, why do you suddenly look so. Different today," said Ron to Hermione.
"What? I just felt like dressing up with Dise today, I feel pretty energetic too!"
"Hermione, Ginney, Dise, you all look miraculously wonderful today," Harry told them.
"thank you very much Harry," said Ginney blushing.
"Why, thank you Harry, at least someone has something nice to say," Hermione stated while looking directly at Ron, who looked down and started eating.
"thanks Harry, you don't look bad your self…boys," said Dise. The girls started to laughed as the guys blushed.
Once Professor Dumbledore pronounced the Wizard Challenge, all the upper classman's roared in delight and some lower classman's sighed with sadness. But mostly everyone was feeling delighted that it was coming up and taking boring times off their hands.
"at each end of the table there is a parchment for the Houses. If you wish to join please place your hand and you will automatically be judged to be qualified and disqualified." said Professor Dumbledore.
He sat back down and gestured for everyone to start eating. Everyone blasted into whispers and talking very excitingly about the Wizard Challenge.
"Are you girls joining?" asked Ron.
" Of course we are, that is except Ginney," Hermione answered patting Ginney on the back.
"Oh it's OK. I don't really care anyways," Ginney said flinging her hair back which hit Dise's ear rather hard. It sent her earring flying off her ear and on to the ground.
"Oh my goodness I'm so sorry Dise!" Ginney yelled.
"oh it's ok Ginney I'll just stay back and find it, you guys go ahead, plus I have to go to Professor McGonagall anyways to get my schedule. Bye" she waved to her friends and bent over the table to look for it. She gave up once she couldn't find it and threw the other one on her ear to the ground.
"Cheap shit, never stays on the ear. Crap there goes 20 sickles." she muttered under her breath.
She walked out of the Great Hall and once she passed the parchment, she put her hand on it and , like if someone was writing on it, it says QUALIFIED. She already saw that all her friends have joined, she smiled and started to walk over to her right. She turn the corner and to her surprise Draco took her by the arm and shoved her to the wall. He put both arms against the wall over Dise and leaned in close to her.
"Where you going Rave?" he said to her.
"None of your freaking business Malfoy. Now if you please I have got to go." Dise said while trying to get out. Draco had stopped her again and gave her a smirk.
" you look so beautiful today. I have never been so attractive to a girl in my entire life," Malfoy said while sliding his hands off the wall and down her waist, he pulled her closer to him.
"you know what Malfoy?" Dise said in her most flirting voice.
"what is it? Beau--"
Dise kneed him in his stomach, before he could finish talking. She grabbed him by the collar swung him around against the wall to her height and leaned so close that there was barely any place left to breathe.
"Don't ever put your filthy hands on me again," she whispered into his mouth. He tried to lean in to kiss her but she was too fast for him. She left him with a smirk and walked up to Professor McGonagall's office.
She walked a few corridors and passed a corner and to her left was a big door that had a golden sign on it, with carved letters reading, 'Professor Minerva McGonagall'. Dise knocked on the door and heard Professor McGonagall's voice.
"Come in, dear,"
She opened the door and walked in. Professor McGonagall gestured to sit down. She had a piece of parchment in her hand, through the candle lights Dise can read the words
Paradise Rave
Schedule For Fifth Year
Dise sat down and waited for Professor McGonagall to start talking. It was a while when Professor looked up and said in a slow steady voice.
"Well, your schedule has six classes, and you only have chosen five. So far you have Herbology, Transfiguration, Charms, Defense Against the Dark Arts, and Potions. You can chose one more class to complete your courses for this year."
"Umm…I think I'll go with Astronomy. That sounds pretty interesting, I guess," Dise wondered.
"very well then dear, and I hope you are happy with your choice," Professor McGonagall said while pointing her wand to the piece of paper and moved things around as if she was organizing somethings on the paper. She handed the schedule to Dise, who took it and glanced at it.
"If you have any concerns you can come talk to me anytime," she said smiling at Dise.
"oh, thank you Professor. Um… how many minutes left till the next class starts?" questioned Dise.
"you have about three minutes, if you run I'm sure you won't miss it." she said without looking up at Dise.
Dise said her thank you and walked out. Instead of running she walked fast to her class. As she was walking to her class, she glanced down at her schedule and saw that she had Double Potions next with Harry, Ron and Hermione. And to her luck she had the Slytherin House too.
Once she arrived in the hall leading to Professor Snape's classroom she saw the group in which Draco hangs out in, and saw her friends hanging out on the opposite side. As she walk passed Draco's group she heard him yell out.
"Alright there Rave?"
"Drop dead, Malfoy," she sneered and then walked off into the classroom with her friends. Potions went by fast, it turns out that Snape knew that Malfoy likes her, so he didn't pick on her as much as he did on Harry and especially Neville.
As they were walking to lunch, Hermione and Dise were having a deep conversation which they were so concentrated in they didn't know they where going. As they were making random turns and crosses, they came across an empty classroom and heard Malfoy talking to Crabbe and Goyle.
"Got it already guys?" questioned Malfoy.
"yeah, I think so.." said Crabbe, looking dumbly at the potion in his hand.
"are you sure it was correct Golye?"
"yeah, I'm sure, but I think we mixed it up with some levitation potion, it looks so….pink," replied Goyle.
"No the book says its suppose to look like that, now splash it on her after she gets out the Great Hall, and only on her, I don't want any other girls falling in love with me, like it already is," said Malfoy in his handsome smirk, as he straightened his collar. "Get it done and bring it to the Great Hall with you, tell no one. Now I have to go and talk to Parkinson." He rolled his eyes and sighed, then walked out.
Hermione gasped and turned into a corner near by she pulled Dise with her, and placed her inde finger to her mouth, gesturing to stay quiet. Once Malfoy passed without noticed she whisperd to Dise.
"oh my God, I think he made a love potion on you!"
"No, with love potion, you have to drink it not splash it on someone…it's ridiculous!"
"I read in Hogwarts, A History, that many students use that type of potion to make it look like an accident so if you do get caught with the love potion it wouldn't be as bad as being expelled. The worst it can get it probably being sent in the Forbidden Forest….but that's about it."
"I see, I won't get near any of them, don't worry."
"yeah, I'll make sure of it."
They heard Crabbe and Goyle walking out, sniggering like crazy. And Goyle looks like he was about to explode. One they were in the Great Hall, Hermione and Dise made she that they were out of reach to all the Slytherins.
"so I saw your name on the parchment, Dise," said Ron.
"yeah, I told you I was going to join, 'member?"
"yeah, I know, but I saw Malfoy's name on his House parchment, too. Aren't you scared he might hex you or something?"
"No, I can handle him. He's so….small for his size."
"Yeah, that's how all Seekers are, like Harry, he's tiny too!" Ron said while snorting out his food. Harry nudge him hard in ribs and started to laugh himself.
