Hour Glass

Chapter Ten

"Who took my favorite quill? Was it you, Michelle?" Ginny asked one of her roommates.

"What quill? Why would I take something that belongs to you?" Michelle, her roommate, said with disgust.

"You know what quill I'm talking about, you nipple, so give it back!" Ginny said, trying not to laugh.

"Nipple? Where did you get that from?" Michelle said, laughing.

"I don't know! It just came to me! I have the greatest imagination in the world!"

"As if! You're just about as smart as a potato!"

"HEY! I resent that!"

"You're the one who started this fight! It's not my fault if I'm smarter than you," Michelle said, faking an innocent expression.

"Will you just give me my quill before you wound my ego even more!" Ginny said, walking across the dorm to the only girl worth talking to.

"Yeah, it should be on the desk on the side of my bed. I'm going down to lunch, do you want to go down with me?"

"No, I told Colin that I would sit with him."

"Oh, okay, I'll see you when you get there," Michelle said walking out of the dormitory.

"COLIN! Sweetheart! Where on earth have you been?" Ginny said, acting like her mother.

"Learning how to defend myself agaisnt the dark arts. You should know, we were in the class together. You should drop the act. That tone of voice makes you sound like my mum," Colin said, sitting down and putting some food on his plate.

"I like your mum. She's the only one who's nice to me in your family."

"Well, that doesn't mean you have to talk like her. It's kind of scary," Colin said, shivering for emphasis.

They sat in silence while they ate their lunch quickly. Ginny finished before Colin so, she looked around the hall for someone to look at. The doors to the Great Hall opened and Ginny looked over to see who came in and gasped in shock as she saw Lucius Malfoy walk straight to Dumbledore. Ginny looked at Harry and mouthed to him, "When did he get out of Azkaban?"

"I don't know. Voldemort is up to something. I can feel it," Harry said whispering across from her.

Dumbledore stood up and looked directly at Lucius, who continued to walk towards Dumbledore.

"Dumbledore, I am here on the account of my son." Lucius said, stopping in front of him and looking him straight in the eye.

"He's seem to have disappeared last night and missed a family meeting. I tried to contact him this morning but my owl came back with the letter unread and untouched."

Ginny looked around and finally noticed that Draco wasn't present. The last thing that went through her mind before she fainted was,"Where did he go?"
