Yes long wait blah blah blah
CHAPTER TWENTEY
'I will not fight in Potions class, I will not fight in Potions class, I will not…' Emma-Leigh wrote over and over again. Pansy sat across the long table. Scratch, scratch, scratch, was the only sound that could be heard. A ball of parchment hit Emma-Leigh in the head. She looked up at Pansy who seemed to have not stopped writing. Emma-Leigh carefully opened the parchment. 'I hate you Blondie' was all it said.
"Ooh nice Puggy, I'm really quite threatened by a peace of paper." Emma-Leigh said.
"You think you're so great." Pansy hissed continuing to write, "but you and your goody-two-shoe-Gryffindor friends are going to pay."
"What? You?" Emma-Leigh started to laugh, "You're crazy girl." She said between bursts of giggles.
"My boyfriend, Draco, you know the one that dumped you're friend? His father is in the inner circle with the Dark Lord he will get you." Pansy spoke low and fast.
"You're boyfriend," she stressed the word boyfriend "wouldn't do that for you. He unlike his father has respect. Just because you want me out of the picture 'cause your jealous…"
"Jealous!" she practically screamed throwing down her quill at last, "why would I be jealous of you?" she said repulsed.
"Why? Because I'm exactly like you… but completely opposite. I'm tall, you're short, I have perfect hair, you have short dingy stringy hair. I'm with the boy who lived, you're with a selfish follower," It hurt her to say that about Draco but she was trying to make a point. "You wish you were me… or even the smallest bit like me. You are a jealous cow." Pansy sat there in shock, her face soon turned to a deepening loathing,
"I hate you."
"So you've said, but your hate for me is just matched by my hate for you." Emma-Leigh said with a smirk.
"The Dark Lord killed Potter's parents. He will get you and your friends too."
"Voldemort is nothing but a stupid loser who has probably never gotten laid in his life." Pansy looked at her absolutely appalled.
"You dare speak his name?" she said with a little surprise.
"Fear of a name only increases the fear of the thing itself. Of course I'm not afraid of saying Voldemort's name. Voldemort isn't all that scary. I don't mind saying Voldemort's name in fact." This was a lie but she was an actress. She almost cracked up when she say the look on Pansy's face Pansy went back to her parchment. 'Scratch, scratch, scratch'
There were no more conversations between Pansy and Emma-Leigh during their detentions or classes. Potions had returned to normal. Professor Bowes turned out to be just as cool as she looked. Of course many of the guys didn't think of her as cool, they thought she was HOT with a capital H-O-T. They were making a very complex potion, the Mandrake potion. They were cutting them up when Draco started to flirt with the young gorgeous Professor. While doing that he learned a lot about her. She used to go to Hogwarts. After she graduated she went to France and she had been there for the last ten years working as an unspeakable for their Ministry.
"Well, I got my Potion making skills from my Uncle. My father was a charms man and my mother a transfiguration." She explained "I'm guessing he put in a good word for me with Dumbledore. I'm really quite happy in this job." Nobody was really paying attention to their potions until, Seamus's blew up in his face. He was taken to the Hospital wing with Harry, who also had gotten some on him. Professor Bowes stopped her personal history lesson after that.
Surprisingly DADA class was going quite well. Professor Snape was acting bearable. After his first mistake with Harry on the first day he had kept his comments to a minimum. Today they were practicing simple duelling, which of course, had started to get out of hand between some of the duellers. At the moment Seamus was nursing small wounds.
"Okay time to change up partners." Professor Snape announced. Emma-Leigh and Draco, Hermione and Pansy and Harry and Ron were each paired up. Pansy and Hermione were, by far the most intense, but once again, Pansy was failing. She was all talk and no fight. Hermione could easily dodge her weak spells and throw spells towards Pansy. Pansy was currently tap dancing uncontrollably and silently while her wand was admitting small flashes of colour. Hermione finished her off with a good impedima jinks and watched the other duellers. Emma-Leigh and Draco had discarded their wands and were just tickling each other. Ron and Harry were both supporting multi-coloured hair that seemed to change with their moods. Ron who was laughing, hair was deep purple. While Harry who was looking over at Emma-Leigh and Draco, was supporting deep, sour, yellow hair. By the end of the class the spell hadn't warn off and the gang was trying to figure out what each colour meant. Hermione gave Ron a hug and his hair turned the deepest shade of blue you can get before turning black or purple.
"Well with my mood ring blue means in love…" people around them awwwed and Ron blushed, as he did that his hair turned fire hydrant red. They left the classroom, Harry and Ron attached to Emma-Leigh and Hermione's arm both with dark blue hair.
"This could be helpful. Knowing what your mood is just by looking at you." Hermione said
"Yah well my emotions are easy enough to decipher. It's you girls that I have trouble with." Ron said. All of a sudden Hermione's hair turned blue and Emma-Leigh's hair turned pink.
"Shit!" they both said each hitting their boyfriends.
"You guys suck…" Hermione said as her hair turned grey. "Grey?" she asked.
"Black is angry… you're not really angry… so you're hair is grey." Emma-Leigh said seriously and her hair turned a deep shade of green.
"I like you're Slytherin hair!" Draco called out in passing. He was then hit from behind with the colour-changing spell. They ended up getting everyone with it during lunch. Everybody had different coloured hair; even Professor Dumbledore's beard was a different colour. Emma-Leigh's hair was usually a shade of pink. They were trying to figure out what pink means, then they realized something Emma-Leigh was constantly doing.
"Pink means flirting… you are always flirting… you can't shut it off." Harry said darkly. Emma-Leigh's hair turned black.
"Shut it, I'm not that big of a flirt." She said her hair remaining black.
"Emmelz, can you pass the chips?" Neville asked.
"Of course Neville." Emma-Leigh said smiling her hair suddenly changing to a shimmering pink. "DAMNIT!"
Thankfully the spell wore off after two days and by the end of it you could only is it if it was in the right light. Of course the people with blonde hair like Draco and Emma-Leigh it lasted longer then those with dark hair like Harry.
"After dinner could Harry Potter, Emma-Leigh Newman, Dawn Chezikle, Candice Layne, Draco Malfoy, Thomas Scott, and Dave Rounds meet Professor Dumbledore in the chamber through these doors after dinner." McGonagall said. Each of the students looked around confused as to why each of them were being called up, specially in the random group of people they seemed to be mixed with. One by one they walked into the chamber. Harry and Emma-Leigh sat on the couches Draco gravitated towards them.
"Why are we here with these Ravenclaws and Hufflepuffs?" he asked.
"I expect we will be finding out soon, Malfoy." Candice Layne, a snobby fifth year Ravenclaw said. Dawn, a bubbly seventh year Hufflepuff was talking quickly with Thomas Scott, another Hufflepuff 3rd year.
"We-are-all-on-the-Quidditch-teams" she suddenly exclaimed looking around excitedly. They all looked around, it was true.
"Wait a second," Dave Rounds, a third year Ravenclaw said, "Harry and Malfoy are both Seekers, this doesn't add up." Draco looked around.
"I must be keeper then…" they looked at him with raised eyebrows, "well when I was younger I played Keeper with the kids around my house." When he finished his sentence Dumbledore waked in, seeing the students talking with out killing each other he took it as a good sign.
"Hello students," he said brining his hands together and rubbing them enthusiastically. They all looked up and quickly moved away from each other. Dumbledore just smiled and continued, "You better stick together. We are trying to pit together a school Quidditch team to compete against our friends in Durmstrang and Beaxbatons of course we had to get permission from you, our team, before we made any announcements but what do you say?"
"Of course!" were the words spoken from the group "That would be awesome!" Dumbledore ushered them back into the Great Hall.
"Students. I present to you the Hogwarts Quidditch Team. We will be holding a small tournament between Durmstrang and Beaxbatons and these are our selected teammates. Newman, Layne, and Chezikle, Chasers. Scott, and Rounds, Beaters. Malfoy Keeper, Potter Seeker." The students cheered when they heard the name of a student in their house. "Yes, Yes simmer down. The first match will be held in two weeks time against Durmstrang on the Durmstrang Quidditch pitch. That means many of you will be wanting to come along to support your team," every single head nodded, "so we have provided a teleport service that will allow you to travel between schools. Only on the days necessary. We will be watching it so don't try and sneak off. That is all." The team split and went back to their tables.
"This is going to be so cool," Ron, said, "Of course I wish I had been chosen but this is going to be awesome!" the first practice was set for the next day, it was a Saturday so they planned on practicing all day. The whole team went to bed early that night
Saturday, their first Quidditch practice. Harry was the Captain.
"Alright first things first, we all come from different houses, but we aren't going to let that stop us, we are the crème de la crème of this school and we are going to take Durmstrang and Beaxbatons down. Now who wants to see our uniforms?" Harry brought out the brand new uniforms. Purple robes with Hogwarts emblem on the arm and their names written on the back, well not their names but their nicknames. Emma-Leigh had Emmelz, Harry had BWL, Draco had The Prince, Dawn had Sunrise, Candice had Lollipop, Thomas had TJ, and Dave had Taffy.
"How did you know my nickname was Lollipop?" Candice asked.
"We asked some of your friends, they told us, we wanted to be original." They put on their robes and walked onto the pitch. When they first got their they split up the chasers and Draco took to the three golden hoops the beaters hit around the Bludgers and Harry let out the snitch and just followed it around. After a while that got boring so they called the Slytherin and Gryffindor team down to play against them. Of course the Hogwarts team won hands down.
"Great Job!" Harry said. "let's g back to the school and we shall start again on Monday!"
