A Girl!

Courtney to her happiness found out she had every class with Snake. She was happy never again would she have to sit by herself, never again would she have no one to talk to. Never again.

She came down to the common room to find Snake already up and dressed at 7:00 am he wasn't like the other boys who usually slept in till 8:00 or if lucky 8:30. He was sitting on the crouch reading. She sat down next to him, he put down the book straight away.

"I never expected to see you here!" his words dripping with sarcasm.

"I know what a surprise" Court said in a weird monotone voice.

"So should we head down to breakfast now or later?" she proposed

"Hmmm later" he replied.

"What were you reading?" she said

"The Crown of Stars by Kate Elliot." He replied

"Why how smart of kind sir" my voice full of sarcasm

"So what do you suggest we do?" he asked

"Let's go down to the Quidditch pitch" I offered

"Okay" He got up, followed by Courtney.

They made there way out of the Hogwarts castle, it was a sunny day to her dismay and also seemed to annoy Snake.

"I hate sunny weather!" she exclaimed as she put a hand over her eyes to block out the sun.

"Dido" was his reply. Then a thought dawned on her.

"Are you going to try out for the Quidditch team Snake old boy?"

"God no!"

"I see, that's good then you don't have to go to practices"

"Yes it is"

They talked until they reached the Quidditch field, but what was more disturbing was who was also down this time in the morning. Under one of the many stands stood Peter, Black and Remus. Court signaled to Snake to be quiet as they walked closer to the stand, if she was right she had material to hit them back with if they teased her or Snake.

"I really don't think you two should be doing this? James was right you know it can screw you up big time!"

"Oh stop worrying! No one's down here at this time" said Peter as he took a long puff of pot. She could smell it from here.

"Fine you two get high but don't ask me to cover for you when your caught which will happen" Remus walked off but not in a direction she wanted him to he was coming in there direction!

"He's coming and we can't run anywhere!" Snake said

"Don't worry!" she reassured him

"Just stay still" but that didn't work. Remus wasn't watching where he was going and walked right into Courtney knocking her flat on the ground. Straight away the boys helped her up again.

"Oh sorry Courtney I was just...."- he broke off

"Why are they such idiots?" she asked giving them a glace then turning back.

"I really don't know, and there my friends, please don't tell anyone I know there dicks to the two of you but I want to realize what there doing for themselves because if we tell a teacher they'll still do it anyway" he said in a pleaded voice.

"Okay but you owe me" she said

"Yes I do" and with that he walked off.

"Well that was friendly of you" his face in a smirk.

"What's that mean?" she said

"You like him" he said evilly

"And what if I do?" she replied

"There's no telling what I'll do"

"No there's not" they started bursting out laughing.

"I think we should go and eat now" she said.

"So do I" and they made there way up to the castle.

The week went by and there were no more encounters with the group which made her happy. It was going to be there's first Hogmeade this Saturday, she was almost drooling at the thought of butter beer that she hadn't tasted before. Snake had he said it's the nicest thing he's ever drank. She was looking forward to this.

They came out of transfiguration they had to turn snails into butterflies. Courtney had on her seventh try Snake on the second. They made there way outside for lunch they sat under a tree that looked like the womping willow that had been planted there the year before Courtney came to the school. She all ways wondered why it the headmaster wanted a dangerous tree on campus, but it was his choice after all. She had always avoided tree, because a lot of kids had got hurt this year from the tree and didn't want to be one of them.

"I hate potions! I can't believe it's my best subject! All this bloody homework's going to drive me mad!" snake exclaimed as he threw his text book on the ground. Court shook her head.

"At lest your good at it" she said as she frowned at what they had to do for homework.

"Okay I'm board tell again about this butter beer I'm hearing so much about?" she asked

"It's really nice, when it's cold it's like your drinking warmth, I don't know how else to describe it" She smiled at try.

"Oh well what do we have next?" he asked.

"Divination" she replied

"Joy to the World!" he cried in a sarcastic voice.

At last the day ended, they were both glad of this. After dinner they found themselves in the common room doing yet again homework the teachers had given them so much for there first week of school.

"I'm board" Snake said.

"You sound like me now" she said in a teasing voice.

"That encouraging now isn't?" He poked his tongue out at her.

"Your such a gentleman aren't you now?" sarcasm dripping from her mouth.

"I try my best" he said.

"So you do, still board?" she asked

"No"

"Good"

For the next few hours they studied without talking much only asking questions now and then about their work.

"Courtney how are you?' Came a voice from behind her that belonged to Malfoy

"Fine, then you came" she replied.

"Oh that's too bad because I just got the new cleanswipe and I was wondering with you wanted to come for a ride with me?" he asked a smile planted on his face.

"As always, no and you think you can buy your way into me liking you think again" Now was smile was on her face. His had dropped. He walked away once again without another word.

"Your lucky you don't have to share a dorm with him, he's shagging in there all the time not the nicest lullaby" They both started laughing really hard a few people were looking at them now. Courtney looked at her watch it was 10:30 pm.

"Hey we should go to bed if we want to wake up early tomorrow for Hogweade's trip" she stated.

"Yeah well night then" he got up.

"Night" she yelled back as he walked up the stairs.

She woke up bright and early the next morning and put on some faded jeans, a black tank top and a pair of old joggers. Then made her way down to the common room. Snake was there he was wearing a wearing a pair of jeans a plain black top and his hair was let out for the first time because the teachers didn't let him have it out during classes as they found annoying. She still didn't see the bug deal.

"Hey shall we?" he asked they walked out of the common room. Laughing yet again.

They skipped breakfast and waited outside the castle, as many kids were. As they were talking something very strange happen. Snake was lifted off the ground and hung upside down in midair. She looked around to see Potter and Black killing themselves laughing with Potter's wand raised. She walked over to them.

"Drop the wand" she said in a firm voice.

"No why should we?" Potter snickered

"Because it's not funny and what's the point in it?" they looked at each other then said:

"Because it's funny to us and he's a freak" they said together.

"Put him down" she said in a low scary voice.

"Or what sweetheart?" they laughed together.

"Or this" she replied and punched James in the nose and Sirius in the gut. James dropped the wand and Snake fell to the ground. She went over to Snake.

"Are you alright?" she asked

"Yeah but I'm not sure about them?" and he pointed over to James and Sirius. James was holding his nose and Sirius had a shocked expression on his face. Snake and Court burst out laughing. That was until Professor Bins came up to her.

"Miss Tail you will have a detention for this violent behaviors, and you will say sorry to Mr. Potter and Mr. Black and you will not go on this trip now you are to stay in the castle." he said.

"Sure Professor"

Courtney walked right up to Potter and Black and put a innocent look on her face and spoke in a innocent voice:

"Oh I'm sorry, I didn't mean to beat you up this badly imagine what would have happened with I didn't go to Snake straight away. Well bye bye now." And she walked back up to the castle. Leaving Snake by himself.

Courtney for the rest of the day stayed up in the common room doing homework and made a lot of progress. At the end of the Snake came through the porthole and poked her in the ribs before she was aware of his presence.

"I've got something for you"

"Oh really I wonder what!?" she said with sarcasm in her voice but she was happy to see him. He sat down next to her and handed her a butter beer. She quickly grabbed it off him and opened the bottle and drank half of it.

"You were right it does taste like warmth" she said

"You are a really gentleman" she said

"And you a lady" he replied.
