Chapter 13

The next day Heather woke up screaming. "Ew! Ew! Eww!"

Danielle said, "What's the matter?"

"What are these big red things on my neck?" Heather looked at them again. "And on my boobs!"

Danielle laughed. "Don't worry, Hey Hey, they're just hickeys."

Jackie said, "Heather has hickeys!"

Nehal replied, "Who's the lucky guy?"

Heather glare at the three of them.

At breakfast Tommy had a bruise on his forehead and Neville's eyes were red as well as Heather's hickeys.

The girls (except Heather) knew that something was wrong,

"Ooo love triangle!" Jackie said unexpectedly

Danielle and Nehal looked at Jackie.

"Just joking!" Jackie said hastily. "It's just that, in movies, this is the part when someone says it's a love triangle!"

Danielle and Nehal laughed.

"Hey Nehal." said Ron

"Hey Ron, what's up?"

"Do we have Quidditch practice today?"

"Yepp. This afternoon."

"We do?" asked Jackie

"Yeah." answered Nehal, "Our first match is coming up soon."

Heather said, "Oh who are you guys playing?"

"Playing Slytherin." said Nehal

Jackie said, "Oh ya, I'll be able to see Draco! Plus, your courtesy hold on Draco has expired."

"Concentrate on the game Jackie!" snapped Nehal

"Nice way to burst my bubble Nehal!" said Jackie annoyed.

Danielle said, "Did you know that Ian is on the team?"

"He is?" Nehal said shocked.

"Ya he's a chaser."

"Why didn't you tell me this before?"

"I forgot."

"How can you forget something like that?"

"Maybe because it doesn't matter that much, I don't really care about Quidditch!"

Jackie replied, "How can you not like Quidditch?"

Danielle answered, "I just think they are more important things in life instead of adreline rush and brooms."

"Quidditch is so much more than that. It's the best sport besides soccer!"

"You play soccer?" asked Colt

Jackie turned around, "Ya I love soccer. I've been playing it for 6 years!"

"I like soccer too but I prefer baseball!"

"Oh me too!" lied Jackie. She hated baseball but she said that because she liked Colt.

Colt said, "We should play it sometime."

"Ya that would be fun."

"Rocky and I uses to play baseball together when we were younger!"

"Aww that's so cute."

Heather said, "Darn tootin!"

Just then an owl arrived at the Gryffindor table. It was Harry's owl Hedwig.

Hermione said, "Open it Harry!"

Harry slowly opened the letter. His eyes widened. He looked at Ron and Hermione and nodded his head.

"What does it say?" asked Heather who was sitting beside him and trying to get a glimpse of the letter.

The letter read:

Time's wasting Potter

You better leave Hogwarts now

Or you'll be dead before

You can say chicken

Harry walked out of the great hall. All the Slytherins were laughing at him.

Nehal said, "What's with him?"

Ron replied, "He's been getting letters like that for the whole summer!"

"What do the letters say?" asked Danielle

Ron gulped. "Their death threats!"

"Death threats?" the four girls said in chorus

"Shh!" hissed Hermione

Danielle said, "But I thought Voldemort was dead."

Ron winced at the sound of Voldemort's name.

Hermione said, "Well speaking in technical terms Voldemort didn't die. He must have escaped from whatever happened with you guys last year. But Ron and I don't think that Voldemort would write letters to Harry."

"Good bye Mione." The girls grabbed their stuff and ran out of the great hall.

Draco saw them and said, "Just the day, I want to talk to Jackie, she runs off with her girl troop."

"Girls are the hardest subject to understand." said Ian

Draco sighed, "This is the only time I can talk to Jackie before the Quidditch match tomorrow." Draco ran out off the great hall and ran to catch up to the girls, "Jackie! Jackie!"

Jackie knew that Draco was calling her, but she chose to ignore it because she knew that there was something going on between Nehal and Draco behind her back.

Danielle said, "Jackie! Malfoy's calling you!"

Jackie said, "Isn't he calling Nehal?"

Danielle, Heather and Nehal all looked at each other puzzled.

Finally Draco caught up with Jackie after she gave him the cold shoulder, "Jaxs can we talk?"

Jackie stared at Draco. Maybe this was the moment where he would tell her about Nehal and him.

Draco took Jackie's hand with his and led her to an empty classroom.

Nehal, Heather and Danielle smiled at each other. They leaned against the door to eavesdrop on their conversation.

There was silence. Draco just stared at Jackie. He couldn't help it. He never felt this way about any other girl before.

Jackie felt really uncomfortable with Draco staring at her. "You…um…were…um…wanted to talk to me?"

Draco answered, "Right so listen since our first match is against you Gryffindors and you're the captain…"

"There talking about Quidditch!" whispered Heather

Nehal said, "Yes. The plan is working. He's totally falling for it. What a loser!"

"Well as you already know I'm captain and my team doesn't want me to go easy on you because…I did last year." said Draco

Nehal's jaw dropped, "He's such a liar! I can't take this shit anymore." Nehal kicked the door open.

"Ahh!" Jackie screamed in surprise.

Nehal, Heather and Danielle walked in the room. Nehal glared at Draco, "You didn't play easy on Jackie last year. You both caught the snitch at the same time. I know this because Malfoy, I know that your father was watching."

Jackie's jaw dropped.

Draco glared back at Nehal.

"No wonder your father hates me." said Jackie as she walked out off the room.

"Good job Malfoy." Said Nehal and walked off.

"Ya way to be." said Danielle and she walked off as well.

Draco looked at Heather expecting her to say something cruel.

"What?" said Heather. "Wanna a bite out of my muffin?"

"No."

"Fine be that way, but you're missing out!" And with that Heather walked off to join her friends.

"Yeah." muttered Draco. "I am missing out."

Later that day the girls went to potions. Jackie sat with Heather and Tommy while Danielle, Nehal and Ron sat together.

The class had to make the Borshaski (Made that word up) potion.

Draco kept looking back at Jackie and she did likewise.

"Heather." whispered Jackie.

"Yes?"

"Do I have something on my face?"

"Yeah."

"I do? Where?"

"You don't! I'm just playing with you. Ha, ha!"

Jackie sighed, "I'm so confused."

Heather replied, "Me too. I have no idea what were supposed to be doing."

"No I mean on my love life."

"Oh…yeah I'm confused too." Heather looked around to make sure Tommy or Neville were out of ear shot. "I mean I'm going out with Neville right? But I made out with Tommy and these hickys are from him."

"Whoa…Heather you player!"

"But don't tell anyone!"

"I won't. I promise."

"Now I need you to give your potion to another person to drink." said Professor Snape.

Jackie was about to give it to Heather, but Neville and Tommy already both wanted to be her partner. She then saw that Draco had no partner. And she felt bad about giving him the cold shoulder. Jackie bit her lip. She didn't know what to do. She stirred the potion she was making. It resulted in bubbling. "Oh." Jackie then saw Draco looking at her. "I mean eww!"

Draco said, "That's my girl."

Nehal heard Draco's comment and shook her head.

Jackie walked over to Draco. "Draco…you're um…good at potions right?"

"Yes I am the master at potions!"

"Well it's decided then, you'll be my partner. You can write up all those boring reports right?"

Nehal came over. "Actually Malfoy already has a partner, he's promised himself to me, right?"

Draco said, "Yes…I am betrothed"

Nehal smiled. "Good."

Jackie gave a questioning look to Nehal.

Nehal said, "Jaxs I think Ron needs a partner. Why don't you go over there and give him a helping hand."

Jackie nodded her head and walked over to Ron.

Draco looked at Nehal, "What're you doing, she wanted to be my partner!"

"Watch and learn Malfoy."

Jackie sat down beside Ron.

Nehal said, "Follow my lead."

Draco said, "So where should we start using the potion?"

"The heart!"

Jackie looked at Nehal and Draco. She was clearly jealous.

People then started shouting, "Fight! Fight! Fight!"

This was how the fight started:

Tommy had gotten up and pushed Neville's potion of the table. It shattered and turned the ground it fell on to black acid.

Neville got up and was like. "What's your problem? I just need to talk to Heather for a little bit. Then you can go back to trying to get Heather. But we both know she'd never want a guy like you."

"Why don't you say that my face – bitch?" said Tommy

Until then, everyone had been working quietly. But then Neville pushed a chair out of the way, stood up and said, "I already did!"

Then everyone gathered in a circle around them.

"Oh my gosh!" said Heather

Neville and Tommy started punching each other.

Professor Snape fainted.

Heather got up out of her chair, "Stop you retards!" She ran out of the classroom.

Neville started to go after her.

"Stop!" said Tommy. "I'm going after her!"

"No you're not! I'm her boyfriend."

"Not for much longer!"

And they started punching again.

Then Ian and Cory randomly started punching each other.

Soon, everyone had either left, passed out, was making out or fighting.

The bell finally rang and the Gryffindors went to their next class.

Nehal said, "We have to find Heather!"

"Hi Nehal." said Ron, "I really really really need to talk to you…"

Rocky walked by and Ron gave him a dirty look. "…about Quidditch!"

"Er…"

Jackie rolled her eyes and went to look for Heather with Danielle.

But then Ian came along so Jackie had to look for Heather herself.

Jackie thought, "It's not fair. This year there's all these confusing love triangles and romance problems. This totally sucks. Why can't we just get along?"

Heather ran to the girls' washroom. The one with Moaning Myrtle.

"Don't cry." Heather said trying to hold her tears back. "Don't cry."

Jackie heard talking and walked into the washroom. Heather saw Jackie and quickly ran into a stall.

"Heather are you in here?" called out Jackie

Moaning Myrtle popped out of a random stall.

Jackie screamed and ran out of the washroom and bumped into Draco.

"Whoa." said Draco. "You alright? You look like you just saw a ghost!"

"I did see a ghost! And it was really scary…and she popped up out of nowhere and even worse Heather is in there with the freaky deeky ghost!"

"Hey calm down. It's alright." Draco gave Jackie a hug. Some people in the hallways were giving them weird looks.

Then Jackie remembered about Draco and Nehal. "Stop it!"

"Did I do something wrong?" Draco said with his arms spread open.

"You know what? I am going in there to talk to Heather with or without that ghost…in…there…goodbye!"

"Girls are the hardest subject to understand." said Draco. "But I better wait out here incases something happens to Jackie."

"Who are you?" asked Heather coming out of the stall.

"I wouldn't expect you to know me I'm just Moaning Myrtle!" She sniffed.

"Er…okay."

"No one ever comes in here. You're the first this year!"

"Go figure."

Jackie walked into the washroom. "Heather? Are you okay?"

Heather answered, "Ya I'm fine."

Moaning Myrtle turned around to face Jackie.

Jackie gulped, "Okay…it's just a ghost…don't be afraid."

"Just a ghost?" yelled Myrtle. "Just a ghost!"

Heather said, "She's a bit sensitive."

"Obviously." said Jackie

Moaning Myrtle said, "How dare you say that? It brings back memories of the students teasing me."

"Why did they tease you?" asked Heather

"I don't know. They just did."

"So what did they say to you?" asked Jackie

"They made fun of my glasses and ruined my life."

Jackie and Heather looked at each other. "Will just be going now!"

"Wait!" Myrtle said blocking the door.

"Omg were trapped!" said Jackie. She screamed.

"Jackie!" said Draco and ran into the washroom. "Whoa." He saw Moaning Myrtle.

Moaning Myrtle said, "Can you tell Harry I say hi and maybe he could come visit me sometime."

"Sorry Myrtle." replied Heather, "Harry's changed. He's a new man now."

"You like Potter?" said Draco

Moaning Myrtle saw Draco. "Hey, you're a Malfoy!"

"Duh! Who were you expecting a Weasley?"

"Actually I was…you're Lucius's son!"

"Yes. Of course I am."

Jackie said, "This is too weird."

"Ya really weird." agreed Heather, "A little too weird!"

Draco said, "You're Moaning Myrtle!"

"Well at least someone knows who I am. I bet for your bedtime stories your father told horrible things about me."

Draco looked at the ground. "My father never read me any bedtime stories!"

Jackie thought, "Aww poor guy."

Myrtle started to laugh at Draco.

"Your so mean." said Jackie, which was probably a bad thing to say to Myrtle.

"Mean? You think I'm mean! All my life everybody's been mean to me and you say that I'm mean? How can you say something like that?"

"Okay you know I am sorry but you need to get some help."

Myrtle stared at Jackie.

"Hey…I'm just saying." Jackie then left the washroom followed by Heather and Draco.

Danielle went to go visit Ian in the hospital wing. She sat down on a chair and looked at him. His knuckles were bleeding and he had a bruised eye.

"Danielle." Ian said in agony.

"Hey hon. How are you feeling?" asked Danielle

"Painful."

Danielle laughed.

There was silence.

"Ian? Can I ask you something?"

"You just did."

Danielle laughed again. "Why do you always have to fight Cory? Can't you just ignore him? You know violence isn't the answer to life's problems."

"He's a bastard. Malfoy and I really don't like him."

"Maybe you can talk to Dumbledore, if he bothers you."

"I just don't like him. He's always trying to…you know…to you."

"Well I've got news for you. I'm a big girl, now Ian. I don't like Cory and I'm not going to cheat on you, and I can take care of myself!" said Danielle angrily

"Oh, so now you're fighting me." Said Ian ironically

"I don't see how we can do anything if you're always in the hospital wing!" snapped Danielle

"Danielle."

"Hey, if you wanted to spend more time with Cory you could've just told me!" Danielle then walked away from Ian.
