So, it took a long time to wake up Ron. Eventually I had to give up. I do have other classes, you know. And right now I am in one of those other classes; Transfiguration. I hope she doesn't assign too much homework tonight. It's really hard to concentrate nowadays for me. I mean, a regular teenager can't concentrate normally! Throw in three other voices in your head and try to see how you function. It doesn't work, trust me.
"Mr. Potter, where is Mr. Weasely?" Uh oh...Should I tell her the truth? She's waiting for my answer.
"Er...He wasn't feeling well." That's kind of the truth, partially.
"Not feeling well?" Doesn't she believe me? I thought I was her favorite. Okay, so maybe Hermione's her favorite, I don't know! Leave me alone!
"Yeah, he has a headache." Again, partially true.
'You know, Harry, you shouldn't be lying to a teacher.' What was I supposed to tell her? That he saw Seamus and Blaise going at it in Gryffindor tower? Somehow, I don't she'd approve, but that's just a wild guess.
'Don't look at me like that. You know I'm right.' Okay, did she want me to hear that? Or was it a slip? I can't tell anymore.
"It's technically true." I have to whisper so McGonagall doesn't hear. She just shrugged. That is not a proper answer!
What are we doing in here? I should pay attention. I seem to be having problems with that lately. I blame the spell. I think I should get a break from all this, you know. Take a breather, relax, catch some sun. Why can't I do that?
Ow, why did she poke me? Hermione just poked me, and it hurt! Oh wait, why is McGonagall staring at me? She looks kind of angry. Oh no, what did she ask?
"Potter, pay attention!" I would, but it's kind of hard! "Now, vanish your nose." What? Vanish my nose? Since when are we doing that? Everyone's looking at me...ugh. What was the incantation again?
'Harry, pay attention! But I know you don't know the spell, so I'll help you. Just this once. Oh, thank God! 'The incantation is 'Nez Dissparaitre' It's French, not latin this time.' Why did I need to know it was French?
"Nez Dissparaitre" Did it work? Why are people gasping? What does that mean? Where's my nose? I can't even feel it! I wasn't supposed to get rid of it, I was just supposed to vanish it! Even McGonagall looks worried.
"Uh, Potter, you may want to go to the Hospital Wing." WHAT? WHY? Can't she fix it? This is her class! What did I do?
"I...but, what...?" I don't know what's going on. Hermione's steering me out of the room. Why do people keep things from me? Wouldn't it do better to just tell me? It's not like I'm going to die or something.
"Hermione, what did I do?" Can't you just tell me and save me the trouble?
"Harry," Enough with the sighing! "You pretty much got rid of your nose." Huh? How is that possible?
"What? How?" I don't understand.
"I don't know, Harry. But I'm sure Madame Pomfrey can fix it." Great, this is the second time in 3 days I've been to the hospital wing. Oh, hey! Now I can get my eyes fixed. I forgot about that this morning. I've got to remember this time.
Look, the hospital wing. It looks exactly the same. You know, after 6 years, you'd think they'd change the decorations a little bit, but no. It's the same as ever, white and sterile. Such a welcoming place, not.
Here comes Madame Pomfrey, bustling up as usual.
"Well Potter, what did you do this time?" It's not always my fault, you know!
"I don't know what I did." I know, I sound like a sullen teenager, but I don't really feel like being nice.
'Harry, don't be so rude.' Excuse me? Don't be rude? I can be whatever I want, thank you very much.
"Well, Mr. Potter, this is going to take awhile." What? Why? Oh my god, this so annoying.
"Do I have to stay here overnight?" Again. I hate being incompetent.
"Yes, you will." Nooooo! Wait, Hermione, where are you going? Don't leave me here alone!
"Hermione, where-?"
"I can't stay here, Harry. Besides, I have to go 'help' Ron." That wasn't cryptic at all, was it? Fine, you want to leave me? Go ahead! I don't need you. I get along just fine on my own. Hmmph...Okay, I'm bored.
Oh look, more potions to drink, wonderful. I just love those potions. They do such wonders for me. Eww, that one tasted like essence of Crabbe. I wonder if it's polyjuice potion...No, she wouldn't give me that.
"Drink up, you'll have your nose back by the morning." God, I hope so. These stupid potions better work.
Good, she's gone. But it's not even dinner time yet...what am I supposed to do all day? Nothing? I guess I'll just relax. At least I'm finally alone with my thoughts.
Okay, I guess I don't have that many thoughts. Hmm, so what's happened lately? Hermione's a Seer, Ron had a little problem...ha-ha...Seamus is off my back, and onto Blaise's...ha-ha...Dra-Mal-Dra-Oh I'll just call him Draco, it's only in my head right? It doesn't matter.
Anyway, Draco is like in love with me or something? Well then, how come he keeps pushing me away? I make a move and he freaks out! He makes a move and freaks out again! I don't understand this kid. How does his mind work? I mean it just jumps from one thing to the next with no explanation in between!
So Hermione thinks that he's afraid. What's he afraid of? I'm not gonna hurt him. Hermione said rejection...well, who in their right mind would reject Draco Malfoy? He's got the body of a god. He's so gorgeous. I do admit his attitude needs a little work, but all in all, I'd do him!
I don't think that was the kind of rejection she was talking about though... I know what she meant. She meant he's probably never had a relationship before, so he doesn't know what to do. From what I've heard of his reputation, he fucks'em and leaves'em.
I don't know. Do I want a relationship with him? I mean, it's only been a day, well almost two now. But actually, he's very different inside his head. He seems to be more normal. How can someone be more normal in their heads? Their thoughts are all jumbled up. I have trouble discerning my own thoughts, let alone someone else's.
Oh, my head hurts now. Was it one of the potions? Ow, it hurts so much! Oh god, it hurts so bad. Ow ow ow ow ow, maybe if I sleep it'll go away? I hope so.
Ooh, ouch. What time is it? It's 8pm, I missed dinner, and now I'm hungry. Oh good, Madame Pomfrey left some food. My nose still hurts. Oh, that was a mistake. Don't touch it. Stop throbbing please.
Someone's coming in. Pretend to be asleep! Urgh, my nose hurts! At least I have a nose now.
"Why must you do this, Potter?" It's Draco. He must think I'm asleep because he's whispering. Why do I do it? Why, so I can get you in here alone, of course! No really, I don't mean to. These things just happen.
"I wish I could tell you, but I can't. You'd never go for it. We are sworn enemies after all." That can be changed, right? I think it can. Oh, there's his hand again, on my thigh. That feels really nice. Maybe it wouldn't be so bad to be his boyfriend. I'd definitely have the hottest boy in the year...MUAHAHAHA! Evil laugh.
He's so close to me right now. I can feel him. He's really warm which is good since this room is freezing!
'He smells so good. I saw him talking to the Mudblood earlier. I wonder if she's figured this out. Probably. She knows everything. I almost admire her sometimes. Hmm...maybe I could use her to get Harry.' You know, it would just be easier to tell me. Now that I know, I would say yes! Probably.
He just kissed my cheek. His lips are so soft. What would happen if I 'woke up' right now? I'd probably scare him half to death and then he would yell, and then he would leave, and then I'd be back where I started. That wouldn't be good.
'I have to go. Pomfrey will be back soon. Until tomorrow, Harry. Maybe tomorrow will be the day...Not bloody likely.' Maybe tomorrow will be the day. You never know.
OoOoOoO
It's tomorrow! I don't know why I'm so excited. Nothing spectacular is happening... What day is it anyway? I think it's Thursday. Hey, that means only one more day to Friday!
Where's Pomfrey? The faster she sees me, the faster I can get out of here. There she is, good, come on, come on.
"I see you're up." Yes, I am. Do the check so I can leave. "Well, you seem to be fine." Don't sound so disappointed. I thought you were supposed to want your students to get better.
"So I can leave?" Will you let me?
"I suppose, but be careful next time, Potter!" I am careful! Although I guess I should pay more attention in class and all that. Blah blah blah.
"Oh wait, do you think you could fix my eyes before I go?" I want to get rid of these glasses.
"Sure, come here." Yay! They're getting fixed. No more being blind! That was easy.
"Thanks, bye!" And I'm outta there! Did I miss breakfast? Umm, well by the time I go get changed and come back down I will have missed it.
Maybe I'll have Dobby bring me up something. There's no one here. The common room is empty. I guess they're all downstairs. At least the dorm will be empty.
Yup, no one here but me. Hmm, what do I want to wear? I like these jeans and that red shirt. I look good enough, I guess.
Oh no, I'm late! Oh crap, Snape is going to kill me. I better get going.
Wow, the dungeon is far from the tower, especially when you're running. Ah, got to catch my breath for a second before I go in. I wonder what we're doing in here today. I hope I don't get in too much trouble for being late.
Oh, who am I kidding? This is Snape we're talking about. He'd love to do anything that would cause me pain.
Ooh, that door is creaky. So much for sneaking in.
"Potter." He doesn't sound happy. I wonder what crawled into his coffee this morning.
"Sorry I'm late Professor, but I was in--"
"No excuses Potter. You will serve detention tonight, be here at 7." Detention? Come on, I was in the Hospital Wing for heaven's sake! Can't you give me a break?
'That's not fair. Malfoy was late and he didn't get punished.' Draco was late? I wonder why.
'Oh, Potter, you should know not to show up late. Either be here on time or don't come at all. It would save you a lot of detentions at the very least.' You know, I just don't think that way. I'd rather be late than not come. School is important, you know.
"Today you will be making a potion used in many interrogations. It is not veritaserum, yet works in a similar manner..." There he goes again, prattling on about some stupid potion. Like I care. Oh wait, I should care. Maybe this is why I don't do well in this class.
He makes it so boring. I wonder if it would be any better with a different teacher. Why does Dumbledore keep him here anyway? That was something I never understood.
"Potter!"
"What?" Huh? Uh oh, now what did I do? He's looking at me. He looks pretty mad.
"I asked you a question, Potter." He sounds really mad. His voice is all low and foreboding.
'Harry, pay attention! I'm not going to give you the answer this time.' What? Why not? I need help here? Anything to add, Ron?
'Uh oh, Harry's in trouble. At least it's not me, I don't know the answer.' A big load of help you guys are. Draco?
'Potter, if you didn't daydream so much you might have a shot at being successful in this class.' You guys are no help!
"Uh...I..." ...don't know the answer? Why does everyone laugh at me when I don't know the answer?
"No answer? Tut tut, Potter. And here I thought you were smart." I am smart. You just make it incredibly hard. What's Draco doing? Trying to set the desk on fire? Why is he doing that?
'Maybe this'll liven up the class a bit. It's dead boring in here.' Maybe.
"Draco!" I guess Snape wasn't so impressed. "What are you doing?"
"Just having a little fun, Sir." Ooh, what'll Snape do?
"If you like fun so much, you can have as much fun as you want in detention tonight with Mr. Potter." Did he just give his favorite student a detention? He must be in a really bad mood today.
"What?" 'I can't have detention with Potter! I'll end up shagging his brains out. I can't do that!' Sure you can!
"Detention, tonight, 7, don't. be. late!" Someone's cranky. Oh well, that's something to look forward to tonight, unless Draco decides to kill me, that is.
A/N: Good news! We are almost finally caught up to AFF! (only because the site is down) but that is good news! I really need to get myself in shape on this site, lol. I will TRY to update sooner, but I can't promise anything. However, the more reviews I get, perhaps the more motivated I will be, lol...jk, no blackmail here, haha. :)
