"Fred, what do we do?" Veronica asked, still reeling in the information she just received.
"There's nothing we CAN do. Calm down, George is smart, as amazing as that might sound. After what he just witnessed, do you honestly think he's gonna leave her alone?" Fred reasoned, propping his legs on Veronica's vanity.
"I guess not." she shrugged, sitting down on her bed.
"Hey V." Liz said, walking into the dorm cautiously.
"Liz!" Veronica cried, enveloping her friend in a big hug. "Don't EVER do that again okay? You just got better, please don't jeopardize it!"
"I'm not. Don't worry. George is gonna help me learn how to fly so instead of cutting, I can fly around Hogwarts a bit to clear my head." she smiled, turning back to George. "Thanks."
"Don't worry about it. As long as it keeps you safe and healthy, I'll do anything." he smiled, hugging her again before turning to Fred. "Come on, we better get to bed."
"Yea, we should. Glad you're okay Liz." Fred agreed, hugging the shorter girl.
"Thanks Fred." she whispered, shutting the door behind the boys. Turning back, she came face to face with a knowing stare from her friend. "What?" she asked, curiously.
"Oh, nothing. It's just...." Veronica paused, before starting to dance teasingly around the room. "I know something you don't know! I know something you don't know!"
"What? What do you know?" Liz asked, chasing her jumping friend around the dorm.
"Can't saaayyy!" she sang, before throwing herself on the bed. "I'm going to sleep and I suggest you do too! We have class tomorrow!"
"Ya know what V? Sometimes, I hate you!" Liz said in mock anger.
"That's too bad cause I just LOOOVE you!" Veronica laughed, throwing a pillow at her laughing friend.
GREAT HALL, NEXT DAY, BREAKFAST
"They live!!!" Fred teased as Liz and Veronica tiredly trudged over to the group of boys.
"You know what, Fred?" Liz said, taking a seat between him and George. "Shove it!"
"Oh, feisty!" George laughed, giving Liz a side hug.
"She's not the happiest person in the mornings." Veronica warned, piling beacon and eggs on her plate.
"I'm still not used to this food!" Liz complained, taking a bite of eggs. "I miss the good 'OLE southern cookin! Don't you, V?"
"Yea. I do. It's really not the same, but hey, as long as it's edible, I DON'T CARE!" she laughed, stuffing two pieces of beacon in her mouth before smiling.
"Southern cooking?" George asked. "Oh yea! You're from the Southeastern US!"
"Yea, sure are!" Liz smiled, beginning to wake up and be hyper.
"What class do you girls have first?" Fred asked, as the girls grabbed their schedules.
"Potions, with the Slytherins." Veronica said. "Oh! That means Ashlie!!!" she smiled, high-fiving Liz.
"We'll walk you there, but then we have to leave for DADA." Fred offered, grabbing his books.
"Oh yea, I forgot yall are in 7th year!" Liz said, beginning to look a little down. Them being in 5th year meant no classes with George, or Fred for that matter.
"We'll miss yall!" Veronica said, grabbing her potions book and making her way toward the door.
"We'll miss you too, but you'll see us at lunch!" George laughed, following everyone else out the door.
"Oh, I've been meaning to tell you, watch out for Draco Malfoy. He's a real pain and will make your life a living hell, but no worries!" Fred smirked, clapping Veronica on the shoulder.
"Gee, thanks!" Liz smiled, but once she caught sight of the dungeons, her smile faded. "Is that our class??" she asked.
"Sure is! Well, we leave you here. Maybe we'll catch you after class, but if not, see you at lunch!" George smiled, giving Liz a hug. "You'll be fine." he whispered in her ear before turning and walking away, talking animatedly with Fred. Turning back towards the door, the girls slowly walked inside. Immediately, they saw Ashlie talking to a pale, pointy faced, bleach-blonde boy.
"Liz, V, come here!" Ashlie smiled, waving her friends over. "This is Draco!" At hearing the boys name, Liz raised her eyebrows and gave a wary look in Veronica's direction.
"Um, hi." Liz said, forcing a smile. She immediately didn't like the boy. He held himself in way that screamed, 'I'm better than you', and it bothered her.
"Hello. You must be Liz." Draco smirked, taking Liz's hand and placing a kiss on her knuckles.
"Um yea, I am, and please don't do that." she replied, pulling back her hand.
"I'm Veronica!" Veronica smiled, jumping in before Liz could go off on him. Draco nodded in her direction before turning to Ashlie.
"Let's sit down." he said, showing Ashlie to a seat.
"I'll see you after class guys!" Ashlie smiled, taking her seat. Liz and V turned, walking quickly away from the two.
"Hey, aren't you the two new American exchange girls?" a boy with fiery red hair (that really resembled Fred and George's), asked waving them to sit down.
"Um, yea we are." V answered, taking a seat in front of him.
"I'm Ron, and this is Harry and Hermione." he introduced, waving to the two on either side of him.
"Oh yea, you're Fred and George's little brother!" Liz smiled, sitting in front of Hermione. Before he could answer, Snape's harsh voice called throughout the room.
"There is no time for useless chatter! Today, we will be brewing the Audax-Virtus potion. Now, can anyone tell me what this potion does?" Instantly, Hermione raised her hand, waving it excitedly in circles. Snape gave a long sigh and nodded in her direction.
"Yes, Miss. Granger."
"The Audax-Virtus potion gives the drinker boundless courage, but there can be a few side-effects. Most of which include..."
"Very good, Miss. Granger. Now, I want you to pair off in to pairs and begin." Snape interrupted, placing the ingredients on the board. Quickly, Liz and Veronica began, moving quite fast.
"So, I hear you girls are mudbloods." a drawling voice smirked from behind Liz. Liz made an angry face before turning around and coming face to face with Malfoy.
"Leave them alone!" Hermione said, walking angrily towards him.
"Keep out of this mudblood, if you know what's good for you!" he warned, taking a step towards her.
"Don't touch her." Liz said, anger beginning to get the best of her.
"Liz, calm down." Veronica soothed, knowing full and well that once Liz got started, there was no stopping her.
"What are you going to do about it, you ugly mudblood! I'm surprised Ashlie is even your friend. I mean, her being a pure-blood and all." he smirked, glaring at Liz menacingly.
"I'm surprised she's friends with you. I mean you being a pointy-faced little ferret and all." Liz shot back, taking a step towards him. He quickly took a step back, fear flickering on his face. "What? Is this fear I see? Is Mr. I'm-a-pure-blood-and-I'm-better-than-you scared?" she teased, crossing her arms.
"Liz, stop. He's not worth it." Veronica said, pulling Liz back. Liz nodded, throwing an angry glare at Malfoy one last time before turning back to her potion. Malfoy glared back before walking back to his cauldron. The rest of the class went by at least some what peacefully. Neville's potion blew up a good few times before Snape decided to end the class. Quickly, Liz and V sped down the hall towards DADA, which they very conveniently had next.
"Hey, Fred, look! It's Liz and Veronica!" George smiled, watching the girls run towards them. Finally, reaching the boys, Liz looked up, smiling hugely.
"I told that ferret-boy off!" she laughed, trying to catch her breath.
"Really? What'd he do?" Fred asked, smiling.
"Called me a mudblood and then tried to threaten Hermione. I think he's scared of me cause he backed away when I started towards him." she answered, starting to laugh even harder.
"It was awesome! You should have seen his face!" Veronica said, giggling quietly.
"Haha! That's great! Well, we had better get going. Care of Magical Creatures calls! See you girls at lunch!" George said, waving good-bye. Liz stared at the spot George had abandoned for a few minutes before being brought back to reality by Veronica pulling her into class.
"You really have it bad!" V laughed, taking a seat near the back of the classroom.
"Can you blame me?" Liz smiled, punching Veronica playfully.
A/N: I really hope you liked that chapter. No, there's no G/L action yet, but there will be! Also, there IS going to be a love triangle simply cuz I think it'd be lots of fun! I'm not revealing who though! So, review and give me your input! I really love hearing your thoughts!!
"There's nothing we CAN do. Calm down, George is smart, as amazing as that might sound. After what he just witnessed, do you honestly think he's gonna leave her alone?" Fred reasoned, propping his legs on Veronica's vanity.
