Chapter Twelve: Free Drinks

The group shuffled into the Three Broomsticks and pushed some of the tables together so they could all sit near each other. A new waitress in the establishment, Minty, or something like that, came up and took all of their orders. Right after she left, Juanita hit her hand on the table.

"Well…?" She started, "What happened next?" She asked. Taney rolled her eyes at the girl.

"Juanita, we haven't been here five minutes, lets rest for a second, shall we?" She asked, a small smile on her face as she put her bangs behind her ears. She looked around the table and seemed to be waiting for something. Whatever it was, she didn't' get it because she groaned.

"Is no one wanting to tell me anything else that has happened since I left Hogwarts?" She asked them. Most of the people just shrugged.

"Slytherin beat Gryffindor in Quidditch two out of three matches so far this year." Severus told her, offering something. His sister snorted and crossed her arms.

"Only because my team has a bunch of jerks on it. You want to know how come they didn't lose that one game? It was the only time I played! Gryff's are being butchered this year, but does my team care? No! Why? Because they voted the largest idiot in Gryff tower to be team captain! -" Narcissa was going to continue but Taney looked over to Juanita quickly.

"You wanted to continue your story, right?" She said. Juanita nodded happily, glad to see that Taney wanted to hear more about this now too. She ignored the voice in her head that was telling her the only reason Taney was doing all of this was because she didn't want to listen to Narcissa rant. If she got her way, who cared how she got it?

"Alright…" Pearl said, taking up the narration again, "Now, while he was doing that, my mo- er…The Lady of Green and Silver was just learning about all of this…"

"HE'S WHAT!" Screamed a black haired girl, her voice screeching so loudly it began to scatter dust. The boy in front of her shuddered slightly from the onslaught but held his ground. This boy was Blaise Zabini.

"That was nice, Pansy, I don't think that Snape heard you. Want to scream again so that we all get a chance to clean the Slytherin dorm room with toothbrushes? You remember what happened the last time someone bothered him." Blaise winced at the memory but was soon pulled away from it again as Pansy began to tap her foot continuously on the floor, ignoring him.

"I can't believe that Draco would do something so…so…stupid!" She threw her arms into the air in disgust. Blaise rolled his eyes and stuffed his hands into his pockets, watching the girl. He wondered why he told her in the first place but before he had to much of a chance to think about it, she had turned towards him and was stabbing him in the chest with her finger.

"How did you know this? Who told you this? Did you see it? Or is it a rumor? Did a Hufflepuff tell you or-" Pansy would've continued ranting had it not been for the fact that Blaise's hand had found a new home over her mouth, at least for a little while.

"I know this because I saw the Weasel in our year and Potter fighting over it on the Quidditch Pitch." Pansy's eyebrows raised dramatically and Blaise had to do his best not to laugh at it.

"You saw…them…fighting?" She asked slowly, as though making sure there was no way for him not to understand her. He groaned, rubbed his forehead, and nodded.

"Yes, Pansy…I saw the 'duo' fighting." Blaise told her. Pansy was silent for a moment and after a few minutes of it, Blaise knew something was going on inside her mind.

"Pans…what are you thinking?" He asked her.

"You're sure this was the first time those two were fighting over it?" She asked. Blaise looked at her confused but nodded his head.

"Yeah, Potter went to tell Weasley that Draco was-" but before he had a chance to finish what he was saying, Pansy was running towards the entrance of the common room. "Pansy, what the hell are you doing?" He yelled after her. She stopped at the entrance and winked at him.

"I'm gonna tell the last of the trio! I've got to get there before either of them do. Do you know Granger has been worse than usual lately?" She yelled back at him before disappearing through the wall.

"So that's where the bitchiness comes from." Ashley Longbottom cut in to Pearl's story telling to tell her. Pearl just rolled her eyes.

"You know it!" She said after a moment of thinking about it.

A woman came close to the table carrying a tray, Minty or whatever her name was.

"Here are you drinks, you guys." She said, placing the drinks in front of everyone, "I got the right drinks to the right people, correct?" She asked, looking around. Everyone nodded and raised their glasses to her. She nodded and left, going to take care of a group that had just walked in.

"What happened next?" Juanita asked, after taking a sip of Fizzing Fizz Fsoda. Everyone was to busy taking a sip of their drinks to answer her right away. The first one who did though, was Hewitt.

"Well, if I'm correct in guessing that The lady of Green and Silver made it to the scholar first…" Hewitt looked towards Pearl to see if he was right and when she nodded at him, "than what happened next was…"

"Going to wait for next time." It was Taney. She looked apologetically to Juanita. "I'm sorry, Juan, but I made reservations for everyone at this awesome place in Diagon Alley, and if we want to get there on time, we've got to go to the Port Key now." She told everyone. Juanita grumbled a bit, but, like everybody else, was wondering what Taney had hidden in her sleeve.

"Fine." She said, "But this had better be good!" Taney looked at her and laughed.

"Don't worry, Juan." She said, after a wink. "You'll love it."
