My Life Alone
Classes
I woke up with the light burning heavily into my eyes from an open window, rubbing them I stretched and yawned, getting wearily to my feet and stumble to my open trunk. Taking my time to get ready I finally arrived at the Great Hall. Today was the first day of classes, I was sitting eating breakfast with Hermione and Ron when Parvati stormed in, her temper making a lot of people in the hall turn and stare, she slammed herself down beside me and glared at the table top.
"Something wrong?" I asked her
"No," she snapped
"Really, you come to breakfast this way often then?" She glared at me and turned back to the table. I stared at her waiting for her to reply, when she didn't I tried talking to her again.
"So, what's up," I asked
"Nothing Harry!" she half yelled, but I wasn't giving up
"You can't just tell me nothing's wrong when you come storming down here and glare at anyone who talks!"
"I just met up with Lavender, that's all." She muttered
I was about to ask what she meant when Lavender herself walked in the Hall, hand in hand with Seamus, "Oh," I muttered, I noticed that Seamus and Lavender were coming closer and closer to us when Lavender actually steered Seamus to a us, I quickly grabbed Parvati's hand, she gazed at me then at my hand.
"Confusion works best upon the enemy," I muttered, she opened her mouth to say something when she was rather rudely interrupted
"Parvati, I like haven't seen you in ages girl," Lavender said pulling Seamus closer to her, I moved my hand, that was still holding onto Parvati's onto the table in clear view for Seamus and Lavender to see, I saw their eyes flicker towards it for a second before snapping back to Parvati.
"Anyway I was wondering if you were going to walk with us to Herbology?"
Parvati opened her mouth to reply but I quickly overrode her.
"Didn't you say you were walking with me…babe?" I asked, Parvati seriously looked as though she were about to laugh but fought it
"Oh yeah that's right, sorry Lavender," They nodded and turned to walk away, Seamus was still keeping a close eye on us, I could tell that he didn't believe us so I quickly leant forward and locked lips with Parvati I could tell she was surprised, so I pulled away quickly. I moved and glanced over her shoulder to see Seamus eating breakfast with a glare similar to the one Parvati had before, but when I turned Parvati was gazing at the table, blushing more how she did on the train.
"I had to do that you?" I told her
"I know," she muttered in return
We left the table a short while after breakfast, while we were walking down to the greenhouses we noticed that we were being followed looking around, we saw Seamus storming after us pretty much dragging Lavender with him, before I could warn Parvati they had caught up to us.
"Harry, can I talk to you now?" I looked from him to Parvati and back again, and shrugged, I followed Seamus until I couldn't see Parvati anymore.
"What do you want?" I asked coldly, he turned to me
"What's going on between you and Parvati?" he replied looking at me in what he thought was a stern face, I rolled my eyes and folded my arms
"Don't think that's any of your business now is it?" I said emotionlessly, Seamus glared at me.
"Tell me Potter or I will make you," he threatened, far from making me scared it made me laugh
"What are you going to do Seamus?" I asked in high spirits, "But I'm sure you consider yourself stronger than Voldemort I guess," He glared at me more, suddenly he lunged, but quickly I stepped to the side causing him to tumble to the ground, I pulled out my wand and muttered a spell to make him hover a few feet from the ground.
"Now, you listen to me and you listen good," I spat, "If you don't leave Parvati alone, if you keep hurting her, you will have me to answer to, understand?"
Seamus struggled, "Let me go," he gasped
"Understand?"
"I said let me go," I jerked my wand and he slammed into the nearest tree
"And I said do you understand?"
"OK!" He yelled
"Good," I said, "You want to get down now?" He squirmed
"Yes," he muttered
"Fine," I took the spell off him causing him fall from the point I had him right down the tree, when he landed he looked worse for wear, with twigs and leaves and his hair, mud from where he'd landed when he lunged at me and a rip in his robe.
"Now that we've understood each other I must move off," With that I turned on my heel, and walked off leaving a crumpled Seamus at the foot of the tree.
When I got back to Parvati I saw Lavender talking to her non-stop as though nothing was wrong, Parvati on the other hand was looking mighty bored. As soon as I got there she looked at me as though I were a savoir. Lavender on the other hand looked behind me
"Where's Seamus?" she asked, I looked at Parvati then back at Lavender
"He needed a little time to think about things," I told her with a grin. I saw Parvati give a confused look where Seamus and I had gone, While we were continuing our way to the Greenhouse (Lavender had gone to find Seamus) Parvati whispered to me
"What did you do?"
"I'll tell you later," We looked up and were greeted by a very cheerful Professor Sprout.
"Ok seventh years welcome back," chirped Sprout, "Today we will be pruning Poisonous Tommotrunks, you will need your Dragon Hide gloves for protection, for if the tentacles sting you, where ever you were stung will develop into an itchy red rash, now seeing as all the house are combined randomly this year, I will divide you into pairs myself," Everyone looked nervously at each other, as Sprout cleared her throat, "Abbot, Thomas; Goyle, Weasley; Patil, Potter;" I grinned at Parvati, "Malfoy, Granger," I looked between Hermione, who was glaring at the Professor and Malfoy who was staring off into space in apparent deep thought, "Finnigan, Crabbe," Parvati and I stifled our laughter as we watched Crabbe and Seamus walk to their table, Crabbe looking menacing and Seamus looking nervous, Sprout finished the pairings with, "Parkinson, Brown," sending Parvati into high spirits. As we were working on the Tommotrunks Parvati looked up at me
"So……?" she asked
"So…… what?" I replied, trying to reach a tentacle that was swinging out of my grasp giggling, "Damn these things, did Sprout tell you they made noises,"
"Yes, you obviously weren't listening," she said smartly, I stuck my tongue out at her, "Child," she muttered. "Anyway what did you do to Seamus?"
"I'll sugarcoat it, made him fall in the mud, slammed him far up and tree and made him fall, while telling him to leave you alone," She smiled and pulled me into a slight hug before turning back to the Tommotrunk.
The bell for the end of Herbology, it couldn't have come more thankfully in my opinion, Parvati was laughing all the way up to the castle
"What I found funny is that you can teach Seamus a lesson and make him leave me alone, but you can't get your wand back from a giggling Tommotrunk!" she giggled
"Oh shut your face," I muttered, I turned to Hermione
"How was your lesson with Malfoy," I asked, she frowned for a second looking confused
"Well, it was different, really different," she said, "I mean the only time he talked was when he was asking me to pass something, and even when he did that was he really polite and he did help me when a tentacle wrapped around my wrist and glove really tight," I looked at Parvati, who was wearing the same expression as Hermione had, next thing we heard footsteps coming up behind us, turning we saw Malfoy, walking by himself up to Hogwarts, he was once again deep in thought, he passed us and hurried through the castle doors, shrugging it off I turned to Hermione again
"What do we have now?" I asked
"Defense against the Dark Arts," she replied instantly, I rolled my eyes
"Which one?"
"Oh, the one with Professor Gough" she said
"You'll have to get into a habit of saying it you know," I told her
"What Me? What about you," she said thunderstruck
"You're just going to memorize it anyway, so I can just ask you all the time," Before she could answer back we heard a yell from behind us, turning around we saw Ron sprinting to catch up to us.
"I swear if I ever have to pair up with Goyle again I am going to scream." Ron yelled
"Don't chuck a fit now Ron," Parvati said,
"I am NOT throwing a fit!" Ron snapped.
