(Wahoo. Another chapter. School has been tough, so yea, I haven't had time to update. Well, on to the chapter.)
Chapter 19: Sneaking Around
"Do you got lots of gold to spend?" Maya asked Ginny, as they sat in next class.
She shrugged. Ginny never had a galleon to spend. Some sickles yes, but never galleons.
"I can get us a couple galleons." Maya beamed. Ginny shrugged
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing" she whispered
"Don't lie." Maya watched the teacher, before leaning over. She hugged her tight. Ginny hugged her back, her face getting red
"Tell me what's wrong.." She whispered.
"I'm poor" she whispered
"So? I knew that.." Maya said gently. Ginny shrugged and sighed.
"I'll treat you to stuff!"
"I'm not charity case"
Maya took a step back. "I didn't say you were.."
"Promise you don't think I am?" Ginny whispered tears in her eyes.
"Promise, promise." She smiled. Ginny nodded and hugged her tighter
"I never think of you as a charity case!"
"I'm glad"
"Me too." Maya kissed her forehead. Ginny beamed
"Please, don't ever think of yourself as a charity case, ok?"
"Ok"
"What do you want to get tonight anyway?"
"A chocolate frog and ice cream..."
"Sounds like a good celebration." She grinned.
Ginny nodded. "Totally"
"Alright." She hugged her again, before going back to work. Ginny hurriedly caught up on her own parchment
At lunch, Maya filled Luna in on the plan. "Sound good?"
Luna nodded "The stars approve"
"The stars?" She giggled. "God I love you, Luna." She hugged her friend tight.
"I love you Maya, as do the stars!"
"I love you too and ermm.. as do the tables!"
Luna blinked. "Ok..."
"Hey, I didn't want to feel left out, so I got a random object." Maya giggled. Luna laughed
"So, you in for the plan Luna?"
"Of course. The stars have given me permission"
"Really now?' Maya cocked an eyebrow.
She nodded. "Of course"
"Cool. You should be a star teacher or something."
"Maybe. Only if they give me permission"
Maya giggled. "You need a permission to be a teacher?"
"Yes. From the stars, if I want to be a star teacher"
Maya shook her head. "You are so confusing."
"Really? Oh well"
"Anyway, I'll meet you all at like.. Five o'clock in front of the library. I'll get Harry's clock and shit." She smiled.
"Ah, yes. See you" Luna ran off
Maya shook her head slightly. "Ginny? She's really weird."
"I know. But that's why we love her, right?"
"Right." Maya agreed with a small laugh. Ginny laughed
That night at 5 Maya waited under the cloak so no one could see her. Ginny ran into the cloak
Maya slipped and the cloak fell off. "Hi!"
"Hey!"
Maya grinned. "Where's Luna?"
"Right here" Luna announced
Maya beamed. "Good!" She threw the cloak over both of them and ducked under herself.
Luna sniggered. "Shh" Ginny scolded
Maya grinned. "Alright. Let's go." She started them on the walk towards Hogsmende. They sneaked along and tried hard to be quiet
They soon came out in Hogsmende. "WOO!" Maya giggled happily and pulled the cloak off. "Let's go!" They took off running and laughing
Maya grabbed their hands after they got all their shopping done. "TO THE THREE BROOMSTICKS!"
"Ahem..." said a familiar voice behind them
Maya whirled around and jumped. "Hey Sevvie!"
"What in Merlin's name are you three doing here?"
"Celebrating my B!"
"That is NOT the way to do it! Get back to the school NOW"
"But we need butter beers.." She whispered, as her two friends stood beside her, nodding.
"NOW" he shouted
Maya cringed, fear coming to her eyes. "Hey.. Calm down." He pointed to the door
"Sevvie, can we please just get some butter beer?"
"No"
"Please? We are already here..."
"Do you three want to be expelled?" Severus asked. Maya looked at him, fear in her eyes.
"Please, don't make this hard. Go back to the school"
Maya glared at him. She stormed over, got butter beer and motioned to her friends. "Come on guys."
"Will you please go back now? I could lose my job if I don't get you three back..."
"We are going." Maya snapped. She grabbed her friend's hands and led them out. Severus sighed sadly. They went back to the school and sat around in the halls eating the candy and drinking the butter beer. Severus never did report them
(Yay. Sevvie is nice once again. D Well, until next time!)
