Making Predictions and evil plans
When Lunchtime came. Harry raced out to meet Ginny. When he found her, he hugged her and led her over to Gryffindor Table. He told her about Brooke and now Ginny wanted to know what was up with that girl. The doors opened again and students came flowing in for lunch. Ron and Hermione came over and sat down. They watched Brooke and Draco come in, hug and her walk over to their table. Draco was watching her and she must have sensed he was because she looked back and blew him a kiss. "Yuck" muttered Ron. "Tell me about it" said Neville as he saw what everyone was looking at. Brooke came over and sat next to Harry. Than she leaned forward and looked past Harry to Ginny "Hi you must be Ginny. Nice to meet you. And Neville, Lovely to meet you" Said Brooke shaking their hands.
"How do you know who we are?" asked Ron. Brooke looked at him "Draco" came the simple answer. "What is going on? First you were hostile towards him, next thing your all over him!" asked Harry. Brooke laughed and drank from a goblet. "Well I suppose you want to know why I'm here and how I know Draco first." Everyone nodded.
"Well back when I was eleven and starting my first year of Magic school on the gold coast in Australia, my father met a man. This man named Lucius Malfoy came over to the Ministry of Magic in Australia on business and met my father. My father was the head of the magical animal control department or something like that. Lucius came to dinner and than the relationship went from there. The school I went to wasn't like this. No one stayed at the castle unless they came from somewhere far away. I lived only a couple of blocks from school. My Parents would have Mr and Mrs Malfoy over for dinner. Than during the summer they brought their son Draco."
Brooke had a smile on her face at the look of shock on their faces and continued, "From that day Draco and I became good friends. Every year we wrote letters and every summer we visited them or they came to Australia. Most of the time they came to Australia. I only saw their house twice. Now that Lucius is in Azkaban I know why they liked coming here. We always thought Mr Malfoy was caught up in terrible things. We suspected he was a death eater but we never said anything. They were very nice towards us and we didn't want to say anything in case we were wrong"
Harry still didn't understand what she was doing here. "But why are you here in England? And why are you all over Draco if your just good friends? Oh and why didn't her recognise you" asked Harry. "Well, Dad got a transfer to the Ministry here in England. He took over the job as head of the floo network and other forms of communication." Brooke stopped and looked around. "He didn't recognise me because I have died my hair. Its really black" Brooke raised her wand and muttered something. Her hair turned back to its natural colour of black.
"The reason for Draco is that Draco has always had a crush on me. I've always told him he wasn't my type- that I preferred red heads. I actually find him annoying now and want to get rid of him. Last year, during the summer he told me that he fancied me. That's when I came up with my plan. I didn't know how exactly I was going to pull it off but I do now." Brooke smiled and took a bite of her sandwich.
"What's your plan?" asked Ron who was slightly confused- as usual. "Glad you asked. For the next week I'm going to hang around Draco and be all over him. It's disgusting but It's all apart of phase 1. Than during the second week when he's gone around boasting that I want to be his girlfriend I'm going to set him up for a hard fall." Brooke laughed and took another bite of her sandwich. Everyone was looking at her eagerly. "For phase 2 that's were you guys come in. On Wednesday morning I need you guys to be, oh, 5-10 minutes late coming down from our common room. This will set it up nicely. It will be almost 8:30am and everyone will be in the entrance hall waiting for the doors to the great hall to open." Brooke stopped and looked around.
"I'll be downstairs all ready with Draco. I'll be doing my usual thing and Pansy will be over in the corner glaring at me because she's jealous. She really has nothing to be jealous of. I know all his dirty secrets." Brooke laughed evilly. "Anyway, when you guys are making your way downstairs, I'll turn away from Draco and step away from him. When you reach the bottom, this is where I'll need Ron's help- if he wants to of course."
"What do you mean my help?" asked Ron. "Well remember how I said red heads are my type, well I was hoping that when you reach the bottom of the stairs. I run over to you and give you a kiss- right in front of everyone! Than I'm planning to turn back to him while still holding on to you and say Oh by the way Draco, This is my new boyfriend and than walk right past him to breakfast" Brooke smiled evilly "Of course if you don't want to I'll understand. I'll just get one of your brothers. I must say Fred and George are pretty gorgeous. They can come down the stairs with you and I'll kiss one of them. They are always up for a good prank. Well do we have an answer?" Brooke smiled innocently.
"Oh come on Ron. Don't you want to see Draco's face when she kisses you and not him in front of everyone. Than tells him you're her boyfriend. Its pure genius!" laughed Ginny. Ron looked at them all and sighed "Alright I'll do it! Only because I want to see the look on ferret boys face when you crush his heart" Brooke smiled, leaned across the table and kissed Ron on the cheek. "Thankyou!" Ron blushed and looked down at his plate. Harry decided to relieve Ron of his torture. "So what classes are you taking?" asked Harry.
"Oh, I want to be an Auror so I'm taking all those classes. Plus I'm taking Herbology and instead of Care of Magical creatures I'm taking Divination. Although I'm not sure if the teachers knows too much. I can sense she has made some true revelations but not many". Harry was surprised at this statement and Hermione snorted. "What's so funny?" asked Brooke. "Honestly divination. That class is stupid. The old bat doesn't know what she's talking about!" Brooke smiled although she was a little angry no one noticed. "The teacher may be incompetent but some of the students aren't. I myself have the natural gift of a seer. Before I moved here, I had proper training to be able to use my gift!" Hermione snorted again. "FINE! I'll prove it to you! Give me your left hand" Hermione put out her hand "Well! What do you see" she smirked.
Brooke traced Hermione's palm. "MMhhmm, I see. Of that is good. Ahh" Brooke had a big smile across her face. "Well I can't tell you the whole thing I saw because that could disrupt the flow and you may not do what I saw if I told you. I can give you a warning though" Hermione looked unimpressed "Go on" she said. Brooke let go of her hand "Soon you will have a minor mishap or accident. You won't get hurt but something wonderful and unexpected will come from the mishap/accident." Hermione shrugged "We'll see" and went back to eating her hot chips.
"Okay Ron, dear pass me your hand" Ron's ears turned scarlet at being called dear and handed her his hand. Brooke put one hand underneath his and used the other to trace his palm. Brooke closed her eyes and was mumbling to herself. "Ok. I saw the whole thing but like I said I can only give warnings, things like that" Ron nodded. "Beware of falling Balloons" Ron was surprised "Beware of falling balloons?"
"That's what I said. Alright Harry pass me your hand" Harry handed her his hand. Brooke gasped and pulled her hand away. "What?" asked Harry alarmed. "Nothing." Brooke retook his hand and stroked it. Her eyes were closed and her brow furrowed in concentration. She opened them "Well aren't you a puzzle, Mr Potter." Harry raised his eyebrows at her as if to say well? "For some reason I only saw flashes. It was weird. I can piece them together though, so your warning is: be careful of the blonde ferret on the 28th. The ferret will cause you great harm."
"The ferret? There are no ferrets at Hogwarts. Ok well the 28th of this month is a Saturday. Is that the day I should beware?" Brooke shrugged "It could mean the 28th of any month. I think that's enough predictions. I'll do you another time Neville and Ginny."
Brooke picked up her fork and began to eat some hot chips. They ate the rest of their lunch talking about their first classes. When the warning bell went they all got up to go to class. Surprisingly Neville had passed Potions so he was coming with Ron, Harry, Hermione and Brooke to double potions. Harry kissed Ginny on the cheek and she left to go to her DADA class. They walked down to a classroom they'd never been in, it was down near the dungeons, classroom B41. Neville was smiling "This is great no Snape! I think I'll do better this year without him being so rude and scary." Ron agreed "I think we'll all do better this year". When they reached their classroom they walked in. They gasped. The room was set up with the cauldrons, the potions supplied were along a wall. There were windows! The room was bright and cheerful- completely opposite of snape's classroom. Professor Campell was sitting on her desk cross-legged. They all took seats in the front except Brooke who sat in the middle next to Draco- Putting her plan into action. She shared an evil grin with the others.
