Chapter 4
Trea sat on her bed doing her homework the next night. 'Stupid Snape. Stupid essay,' she thought. Her quill quickly raced across the parchment. She growled quietly and scribbled over a couple of words. She finally closed her book and rolled up the parchment. 'Finally!' she thought, throwing her arms in the air and stretching out.
"Hello there Tre!" the boys said bursting into the dorm.
"Hey boys, what's up?" Trea asked standing up.
"Nothing, but we're hungry and wondered if you wanted to come," Lee said, grabbing hold of her arm.
"Do I have a choice?" she asked walking with them down to the kitchen.
"Nope," the twins said together. The time pasted quickly and soon they were there laughing and eating.
"So who did you go to the Three Broomsticks with last Saturday?" Fred asked casually.
"Nice try Fred, how about not?" Trea said, finishing her pear.
"Please tell us Tre!" they all pleaded.
"Try again next time boys," she said, moving swiftly towards the exit.
"I'll walk you up," Oliver said, following her.
"Want to know too, do ya? I'm not telling you," Trea said crossing her arms and walking up the stairs.
"Please Tre, we just want to know. We just don't want you to get hurt or anything," Oliver said, following her up the stairs.
"He's a good guy, that's all you need to know," Trea said, starting to get mad. She ran up a head of Oliver, and into the Common Room, leaving him standing alone. She dashed to her dorm and slammed the door. She grabbed her pillow, and shoved her face into it. 'Slow deep breaths, come on slow deep breaths. Their so lucky I don't kill them,' she thought to herself. She grabbed a quill and a piece of parchment. She scribbled down a note, and stuffed it in her pocket. 'Only one thing to do,' she thought, saying a quick spell and being changed into her pjs.
In the morning Trea got up early, and took a quick shower. She got changed into her school robes and ran over to her trunk. She took out her jeans from the other day, and searched through the pockets. Her hands worked quickly, searching for the small piece of parchment. A smile of satisfaction crossed her face, slowly standing up, note in hand. 'If this doesn't work, I don't know what will,' she thought to herself, grabbing her bag and rushing downstairs. She got tot he portrait entrance and ran out. She flew up the twisting stairs, until she reached the owlery. She picked out a small grey owl and whispered something to it, before she attached the note to it's leg. It chirped at her and flew out the window. Trea walked out of the dark room smiling.
By the time she got downstairs it was time for breakfast, so she headed down stairs. She entered the Great Hall and sat with her friends. She looked over her friends head, over towards the Hufflepuff table. She saw Cedric, just as the mail owls arrived. He opened the small envelope that fell before him. He looked up, and nodded to her. She took a deep breath.
"Hey guys," she started.
"Yea what is it Tre?" Oliver asked looking up from the Daily Prophet in front of him.
"Well you want to know who I went out with, right?" Trea asked hesitantly.
"Yes!" the three immature boys said, jumping up.
"Well, it was Cedric," she said in a very soft voice.
"Cedric? Cedric Diggory? Isn't he going out with Cho?" asked Lee, staring unblinking, at his friend.
"Will you quiet down!" Trea hissed, "He isn't going out with Cho, it's a cover up. He didn't want you guys to kill him. I can't believe you threatened everyone!"
"We did it for your own good-" Fred started.
"We didn't want you to get hurt," George finished.
"He's a nice guy. I still can't believe you guys!" she said, standing up. She grabbed her bag and walked out.
Later that day, the Gryffindors and Slytherines were in the green house.
"Ok, the Furcious Spit Fire is very dangerous," Professor Sprout said warningly. "It's acid will temporally blind you for a couple of months. All of these plants have been fixed, so don't worry about the acid. so please split into partners. Please pick the leaves, but be gentle!" Lee moved towards Trea, but Tre moved towards Paige Simons, another Gryffindor. Lee sighed and walked over to Kevin Walkins. Trea let out a breath of relief.
"So should we get started?" she asked, putting dragonhide gloves on her hands. Paige nodded and put her gloves on too. The plant had a closed, large red flower on top of the stem. They began pulling the leaves off the plant gently. The plant shook mildly, but mostly stood still. Trea pulled on a leaf, but it wouldn't come off. 'Come off you stupid leaf!' Trea thought, pulling harder off it. The flowering part of the plant turned it head towards the girl. The red flower opened up and spit a
purple liquid at her eyes.

Len : To answer your question, the reason that F & G play pranks on Trea is because that's just the way they are.
