Joey woke up the next morning to Hedwig flying around her room. "Morning Hedwig." She said as the owl landed on her shoulder. "Did Harry send you to wake me up?" The owl hooted in response and then took off for the owlery.
Joey kicked off the covers and proceeded to gather up a towel and some clothes. Since Dumbledore gave her the head girl's suite she didn't have to worry about anyone taking up all the hot water. She came out of the bathroom a few minutes later dressed in baggy carpenter jeans with a black midriff t-shirt and her black Doc Martins. She grabbed an oversize sweatshirt and left to meet everyone in the Great Hall.
She strolled along the halls of the castle taking in everything. Once she reached the great hall she noticed that most of the group was there. She scanned the room looking for Draco but she didn't see him. She guessed that he was still in the hospital wing. Although she noticed that Marie was being hassled by some other students.
She just stood there watching this scene unfold. She was watching Marie as she looked up and down the great hall looking for teachers. Marie then looked at Joey. Joey nodded her head. Without any hesitation Marie slugged Pansy. "Back off!" Marie yelled and pushed her way through the crowd of Slytherins. Marie accompanied Joey over to where Harry and the gang sat.
"Morning everyone." "Morning, Joey. How was your night?" Harry asked. "It was fine." She replied. "Hey, Marie, what was that all about?" Ron asked. "That was just Pansy thinking that she is Draco's girlfriend. I had to show her that she isn't." "So you slugged her." Hermione said. "Yeah, well, she deserved it." Marie said.
Later in the day while Harry and the others were in class Joey went to see Draco. "Good morning, Draco." Joey said as she walked into the hospital wing. She spotted him standing over by one of the windows in his pj's. She moved closer to him only to notice that he was in a trance like state. She snapped her fingers in front of him to wake him up. He snapped back to reality when she started to shake him.
"You can stop now" he mumbled. "Who fed you the zombie juice this morning?" she said. He turned to face her with a questioning look upon his face. "But seriously, Dumbledore would like to see you in his office now." "Why, what is this about?" "You'll find out when you get there. I will get Ginny and meet you there."
Note: Sorry that this chapter was so short and that it took me so long to put it up. I have been busy with work. One more chapter left.
