AN: Thanks for the reviews and nice comments, sorry bout the delayed update. I hope this will satisfy you
Chapter 14 -
"Like Mr Pareen would let me get out his classes, I've talked about this to Dumbledore already he said I can go every second week and during the holidays, and maybe on the real important occasions," I said lodging a tomato sauce smothered chip in my mouth.
"You could really get me in?" I looked up at Oliver glancing nervously around me, my mouth open about to say something…anything?
I opened and closed my mouth before I looked at Lee. He nodded his head at me as I took a deep breath.
"I suppose it is possible?" I said as Oliver looked at me excitedly. I glanced at Lee who shook his head.
"You better get him in, or he will cry his little heart out for weeks," Lee said as Oliver began talking excitedly to Katie, Fred and George. I finished eating the fries and grabbed some chicken and some peas and carrots, pouring loads of gravy over them as I picked up my fork eating it.
"Is there anything I have to do to get in? Like any perquisites?" Oliver asked as I looked up at the ceiling.
"I suppose Mr Pareen will want to meet you…I guess, I'll have to owl him of course," I said as Oliver smiled widely at me.
"You know I could totally marry you right now?" Oliver said happily as a few girls down the table turned their heads straight to me.
"Oh, would you look at the time, I should go owl him now," I said standing up haphazardly as the girls' looked at me glaring. I glanced down at Lee as he snickered at me.
"Do you want me to go with you? I can show you all my credentials-" Oliver began standing up as I saw a few girls' clenching fists angrily.
"-I'm fine! It's all good-" I said holding my hands up as Oliver looked crestfallen. "-I meant that I'm just going to ask him if they have any vacancies, very informal," I said smiling at him as he nodded sitting down. I picked up a giant slice of chocolate cake.
"I'll be back in five," I said waving at Lee as I took a bite out of the cake and jogged out of the hall. I made my way to the Owlery and saw her perched on one of the top perches. I whistled as she turned and saw me before flying down. I took a huge bite of my cake before passing the small lump to her as she ate it happily.
"Mind a little trip to Quaffles perch, Snitch?" I asked as she cooed at me after finishing the cake. I walked over to a small table writing a quick note to Mr Pareen, rolling it up and tying it to Snitch's foot.
"Be safe and don't get caught," I murmured kissing her head as I tossed my arm in air as she flew off.
"I guess I should get back before-" I began as I flipped my hair over my shoulder.
"-I arrive," I turned around and smiled as I saw Cedric smiling at me. I smiled back at him as he came to stand in front of me his face glimmering in the moonlight.
"Who you owling?" He asked walking past me and leaning on the railing of the balcony as I looked at him questioningly.
"I'm owling an old friend of mine, needed to ask in a little favour," I said smiling as Cedric looked at me with a cute look on his face.
"Is she hot?" Cedric asked as I laughed at him.
"Oh please, he's like 37, and yes I said 'he' as in a male, has a ding a ling," I said smiling as Cedric laughed a hearty laugh. I smiled wider at him as he turned to look at me.
"Man, your so different from the other girls at this school, your so…different?" He said as I cocked a brow at him.
"I'll take that as a compliment," I said looking at him confusedly before moving to leave.
"Where you going?" He asked as I stepped into the corridor.
"My friends, will worry if I don't get back," I said as he jogged up to me.
"Will I see you tomorrow?" He asked, taking my hand lightly in his. I glanced down at my hand before looking up into his blue eyes a small smile creeping on my lips.
"Only if I don't see you first," I said as he smiled at me before holding his elbow out to me as I looped my arm through his laughing as we made our way to the great hall.
"Well thank you for walking me back Cedric," I said detaching my arm from his as we arrived at the entrance of the great hall a few people seeing us and questioning glances. I looked up as I saw the familiar owl swoop down. I held my arm out as she landed on arm. I patted her head as she hooted happily at me. I nodded at Cedric as I walked over to Gryffindor table handing her a chip from a fifth years' plate as I walked passed. I grabbed the scroll off her leg as she finished the chip flying off. I strolled up to my seat beside Lee as he looked at me questioningly. I grabbed the muffin off his dish, flipping open the rather large scroll. I read it over quickly before handing it to Oliver as I ate the muffin.
"He basically means he'll meet up with you for lunch with me next weekend," I said as Oliver's eyes darted across the parchment quickly. He smiled up at me before tapping George on the shoulder.
"I think this calls for a celebration," Oliver said as the twins cocked a brow at him before he held up the note and glanced up at me.
"You actually made Oliver happy?" Fred said unbelievably.
"Without touching him in anyway-" George said as I blushed.
"-Or winning a game-" Fred said looking exasperatedly at me.
"-Or being his girlfriend- oof!" George said before getting hit over the head by Oliver.
"-This means we have to plan," Fred said looking excitedly at his twin as the two shared a smile standing up and leaving.
"Look what you done!" Lee said looking at me sceptically.
"Come on it can be any worser than last Christmas dinner," I said as Lee made to comment before thinking bout it and nodding.
"Your right, but it was fun right," He said nodding as I grabbed his pumpkin drinking it. We both shut up as Dumbledore formally announced dinner was over. I stood up only to hear my name called out. I turned around and saw a chubby looking girl with shoulder length brown her bustling over to me with some of her cronies.
"Pearce, keep away from Flint, he's mine," She said as I looked at her confusedly. I looked more carefully at her stature before looking up at her face squinting before it dawned on me.
"What are you staring at Bitch?" She snapped as I smiled warmly at her shaking a finger at her.
"I wouldn't talk to me like that if I were you," I said tutting at her as she glared angrily at me stepping forward from her group as I began circling her.
"And why not!" She said stomping as I stopped in front of her making eye contact, my eyes darkened so they almost looked deep blue.
"Because even your father knows not to talk rudely to his superiors," I said smiling evilly as Lee, Oliver, the twins' and the girls stood opposite the other fours girls who were her cronies.
"My father? Superiors? How do you know my father!" She snapped as I stepped back away from her leaning on one hip as people milled past us watching curiously.
"Craig Rusnakoff Bullstrode, father to two girls' and one boy. You Millicent Abigail Bullstrode, first daughter, aged 17 and half, born in mid autumn during one of your fathers outings, you're second eldest of the lot, your sister is 15 this year and I believe your brother has just finished school last year, I met him last month," I said as she looked at me wide eyed. I glanced to her left and done a once over each girl.
"Helena Francesce Lestrange, outcast cousin, parents died late summer two years ago leaving you heiress to their fortune," I said as the scrawny brunette glared at me.
"Ah…the double duo, now of course, we have met…Cassandra and Catherine Nott," I said as the two black haired girls looked at each other nervously. I looked at the last girl smiling more evilly.
"And of course if not but least, Lucinda Jacqueline Avery, bratty baby, so says your father anyway," I said as the blonde haired girl glared along with the aforementioned girls'. I looked at the last girl her black bob haircut extremely familiar.
"Finally to my misfortune Pansy Parkinson, Draco's bitch…huh, we'll see how long that lasts," I said as the girls' formed a line in front of me as I glared back just as fiercely.
"Just keep away from Flint," Millicent said as I sniggered at her, only provoking her anger.
"Ha? Why would I want him?" I said as she opened her mouth to say something before a hand appeared on her side. I smiled crossing my arms as Draco pushed his way through them. Flint, Crabbe, Goyle and Avery by his side. I smiled at Draco as he smiled back stepping forward as I held my hand out to him. He kissed it lightly as I looked up at Pansy smirking.
"Hi Draco, you sure grew up nicely," I said giving him a once over as he smirked back his trademark smile as Pansy huffed at me. I smiled wider as his eyes travelled up and down me as I cocked a brow at Pansy. He let out a low whistle.
"If only you were younger," He said as I cocked a brow at him, taking a step forward and running my hand along his jaw line as he smirked at me. I leaned in close.
"If only you didn't care," I said seductively as Pansy gasped. I took a step back.
"Tell your bitches to keep away from me, keep in mind what I told you last summer," I said winking as he smirked again retreating into his group as I turned back to see the gang looking at me with wide eyes.
"What?" I said as Oliver shook his head.
"What was that all about?" He asked as everyone else nodded, I began walking as everyone fell into step next to me.
"They think I'm trying to steal Flint away from them, ha! That'd be the day," I said as the girls' laughed with me.
"So where are you sleeping tonight?" Lee asked as I looked upwards.
"I have a room down the hall with the girls'" I said looking at them as they nodded.
"That's not right, I didn't see any extra doors?" Angelina said as Alicia and Katie nodded. I tapped my nose.
"This one is specially made for me," I said as they looked at me questionably as we stepped onto the moving staircases.
"What's that suppose to mean?" Fred asked as I looked at Oliver, he smiled knowingly at me.
"Hey, he knows, what's going on? Come on El Capitan tell us!" George exclaimed pulling Oliver into a headlock, which he got out of easily, swinging around dragging George into the headlock as we made our way towards the fat lady.
"How bout a clue Ollie Bear?" Katie said running her hand up his arm, as I let out a giggle as he blushed.
"Ahem, well…did any of you guys' actually see my room?" He said as we made it to the fat lady.
"Balderdash!" I said, as she swung open.
"She makes a good point," Fred said as we all shared a chuckle.
"Well that sorts that out…but I want to see your room!" Katie exclaimed grabbing Oliver's hand as he looked around for help. I sniggered before quietly sneaking up the girls' stairs. I walked to the end of the hall glancing at the bare wall. I grabbed the pin on my shirt pressing it firmly on my thumb as I took it off leaving a small imprint of it on my finger. I heard a squeal and thundering steps as I pressed my finger along the wall on certain points. It glowed a bright blue as I glanced over my shoulder seeing their shadows coming up the stairs. I saw the door panel appear and pushed it as the wall swung open and I stepped in pushing it closed behind me. I listened intently.
"Wonder where she went?" Angelina said as I sniggered.
"You think she apparated?" Alicia asked before I heard a thwacking noise and than a groan.
"Can't apparate in Hogwarts…I bet she has a hidden room," Katie said as I heard her footsteps come up to the wall. I heard her hand rustling over the bare wall before I fell onto the floor as she banged on the wall.
"LET ME IN!" She yelled. I shook my head laughing.
"NOPE! NOT UNLESS YOU SHAG OLIVER!" I yelled laughing to myself as the girls' laughed on the other side.
"GLADLY DONE!" I heard her yell. I stood up as I heard her feet pounding away. I slowly pulled open the door seeing Alicia and Angelina looking at her retreating back before turning to me. I stepped back and pulled open the door.
"Welcome to my humble home," I said as they giggled coming into my room and checking everything out. It was much like my other room, only this was red and gold themed instead of white. I had an en-suite bathroom and walk-in closet as well.
"Nice digs," Alicia said as she jumped on my bed.
"Got that right," Angelina said falling into one of my comfy chairs. I walked over to the mantelpiece and looked at the lions as I swear one winked at me.
"Yo, Ange' Licia come here, did this lion wink at me?" I asked as they both came up to me and looked at it from my shoulders.
"Nah, your seeing things," Alicia said as I tilted my head looking at it.
"Awww…isn't it just-Ah!" Angelina said pulling her arm back from patting it as it roared at her. I raised a tentative hand as I stroked its golden mane. It bowed to me as we all smiled at it; I heard some joints clinking and looked at the girls' worriedly before feeling the ground moving beneath me. I looked at the girls' nervously before hearing rustling behind us in the dimly lit room. I nodded at the girls' as we slowly turned around at the same time. We all let out a squeal and immediately turned around holding our eyes.
"My eyes! GAH MY EYES!" Angelina yelled as I heard scrambling behind us.
"Great Merlin! Make it stop! Make it stop!" Alicia yelled.
"I'm on it! I'm on it!" I fumbled my hand upwards for the lion; I patted its head as it bowed and we spun around again.
"I didn't think the girl would take me seriously," I said exasperatedly as Alicia and Angelina ran over to my bed jumping on face first.
"LET ME IN!" I saw the lion roar as I jumped onto the mantelpiece trying to make it stop. The lion bowed and before I know it, I was spun around again.
"Well Hello again," I turned around slowly putting a smile on my face.
"Hi Oliver," I said smiling as my eyes darted to the door.
"MELODY! GET BACK HERE!" I heard Katie scream. I looked around for a hiding place as I saw Oliver's bed. I jumped in crawling in on top of him pulling the duvets up as I heard the mantelpiece moving.
"MEL-huh? Oliver did you see where Melody went?" She asked as I anxiously clutched at Oliver's shirt curling up in his lap as he leaned against the headboard.
"Yeah, she went out that way," Oliver said as I heard her footsteps nearing and the bed sink slightly. I clutched Oliver's shirt more tightly.
"You sure you don't want me to stay?" Katie whispered as I saw her arm reach out to Oliver, I closed my eyes my heart beating a mile a minute.
"-Actually, I'm a little tired tonight," Oliver said as I saw her hand freeze.
"Oh," I heard her say as I let out a quiet sigh.
"Well if you see Melody, I just wanted to sort out before and um-I'll see you tomorrow morning, Ollie Bear," She said as she kissed him on the cheek and left. I heard the door shut and pulled the covers open and took a deep breath.
"Thanks Oliver," I said sitting up on his lap as he smiled down on me. I let out a sleepy yawn smiling at him.
"Your welcome," He said as I looked downwards.
"You sure wear a lot to bed," I said smirking as I noticed he was actually, only wearing boxers. '…Shit…must have been clutching his boxers…' I felt my cheeks blush as I looked away.
"Well what do you wear huh?" He asked as I rolled my eyes at him clicking my fingers as all my clothes appeared on a neat pile beside his bed and his eyes widened a small blush running along his cheeks.
"Do I look that good?" I asked cockily, as he looked up from my underwear-clad body and back to my face a smile running along his lips as he rolled over pinning me underneath him.
"Mister Wood! Well I never!" I exclaimed as he smiled down on me his lips nearing mine, I turned away from him.
"You have a Girlfriend remember?" I said as he rolled his eyes shaking his head, rolling off me. I lay my head and hand on his chest pulling the covers up to our shoulders.
"I'm going to sleep…you try anything, I'm going to hex you into oblivion," I murmured my eyes drooping closed as sleep overtook me.
"Oliver? Oliver! Great Merlin! Oliver!" I screamed before I woke up and looked around seeing a pair of blue eyes and a pair of brown. I closed my eyes squinting my face.
"I had a scary nightmare," I said as the four looked at me rolling their eyes.
"When you say nightmare you mean fantasy-" Lee said as I looked at him questioningly.
"-And when you said Scary, you meant sexual-" Fred said as my jaw opened in shock.
"-And since you were screaming for Oliver, I guess he was the lucky bloke," George finished as a deep blush ran along my cheeks.
"Must have been good than?" I looked up and saw Oliver smirking at me. I sat up and grabbed a pillow slapping it over his head as the blankets fell off my stomach.
"Damn, how did you even sleep last night?" Fred said looking at my lacy red underwear clad body.
"Believe me…it was hard," Oliver said, as I hit him over the head with the pillow again.
"I bet it wasn't the only thing hard," George said as I grabbed another pillow hitting him with it.
"SHUT UP!" I squealed before I felt myself being lifted into the air by two pairs of arms.
"PUT ME DOWN THIS INSTANT!" I squealed, before I felt myself being tossed into the air and caught again.
"No more pillow fighting than?" Fred said as I glanced at George. I smirked at them my fingers poised together. I clicked my fingers as a pillow flew into my hand and I hit them over the head, so hard that it burst and feathers flew everywhere making them drop me. I heard some grinding noise as music suddenly filled my ears.
"Slumber party!" I heard someone squeal as I grabbed another pillow hitting someone out of my way as I hit in time with the beat. I jumped on the bed and saw Oliver. I smirked as the familiar lyrics ran through my ears.
"Sing song!" I yelled as I began dancing around the feathers still floating around us.
"Don't cha wish your girlfriend was hot like me, don't cha wish your girlfriend was a freak like me…don't cha," I sang as I danced along to it swaying my hips to it totally getting into it.
"You know this song is rather entertaining," Fred said looking up at me as I threw my pillow at him as he fell over.
"Don't cha wish your girlfriend was raw like me, don't cha wish your girlfriend was fun like me…don't cha?" Angelina sung as I continued beating Oliver with the pillow. He fell over on the bed as I hit him on the head with the pillow as he grabbed the back of my knees as I fell on him beating him with the pillow as he rolled over pinning me as I squirmed under him hitting him with a random teddy I found on the bed.
I heard the door burst open and looked as I looked up the teddy bear suspended over Oliver's head.
"You are waking the whole house with this racket! Do not make me be forced to deduct points from my own house," McGonagall said as the teddy bear fell out of my hand landing on Oliver's head, than falling onto the bed and than rolled onto the floor, a squeak following each fall. I smiled sheepishly, hiding my bareness behind Oliver as I smiled sheepishly at McGonagall as she rolled her eyes.
"Don't cha wish your girlfriend was raw like me, don't cha wish your girlfriend was fun like me…don't cha?" sang through the radio as McGonagall rolled her eyes slamming the door shut. I burst out laughing as everyone else followed.
"Just a question?" Angelina coughed through laughter looking at me curiously.
"Yah? What?" I asked as she looked downwards.
"Why aren't you wearing clothes?" She asked, as I blushed before lifting my chin in the air.
"Clothes are over rated, and it was hot last night," I said as she looked at me sternly before we burst out laughing. I heard my stomach grumble and stood up.
"I want some breakfast before we start schoolies, so let's get dressed," I said as the guys' nodded their heads. I gestured for the girls' to go over to the mantelpiece as I walked after them. I heard a low whistle and glanced over my shoulder seeing Fred get high fived by George. I shook my butt at them as they cheered as I petted the lion, it bowed to me as the mantelpiece swung around. I walked over to my closet finding my uniform. I grabbed some underwear and walked into the bathroom taking a quick shower and getting dressed. I walked out and saw everyone dressed and ready sitting on my bed. I walked over to the mirror doing the once over with myself. I turned looking at my butt sighing as I pulled my tie looser around my neck. I pointed my wand at my hair as it pins flew from my dresser into my hair pinning it up in a cute do. I turned around and looked at them as they looked at me weirdly.
"First impressions count on the first day," I said as they rolled their eyes.
"Plus, I want to snag myself a keeper," I said rubbing my hands together evilly as the girls' chuckled as we all made our way over to the door. I watched as Lee lead the way as the girls' watched in shock about guys' being on this side. I saw Lee stumble, I heard the stairs turning into a slide as each step locked into place. I pushed my way forward.
"Ladies first," I said holding Lee back, as I clutched my bag to my chest and sat down sliding down the slide.
"Wheeeeeeeeeeeee!" I squealed all the way down as I came to a stop at the rug. I opened my eyes and saw the golden trio looking at me. I smiled at them standing up dusting myself off as heard a couple of swishes before stumbling into Harry as he grabbed Ron, who in turn grabbed Hermione as we crumpled to the floor.
"Ow," I groaned as I looked up and saw Harry trying to sit up as he adjusted his glasses.
"Sorry, Harry, Damn it! Angie get off me!" I yelled as she looked at me sheepishly.
"Hey Harry, Ron, Hermione, having fun?" Angelina asked sheepishly, getting up before landing on us again as she was knocked over by Alicia, Katie and than the twins and Lee. I squirmed my way from out of the group as everyone groaned painfully.
"Ah! Someone's touching me!" Hermione squealed as I dusted myself off.
"Sorry," Ron groaned from underneath them as I saw Hermione's cheeks flush, before I pulled her out from the mess.
"Thanks," She said as we both grabbed Ron's arm and pulled him out of the mess as we watched Fred and George lying lazily on top of everyone.
"Harry? Are you okay?" Ron called as he and Hermione found his leg and pulled him out. I shook my head going up to him and dusting off his robes.
"Sorry bout that, news kinks in our new dorm we need to figure out," I said winking at Hermione as she looked at me horrified. I rolled my eyes as Oliver slid down the slid standing up dusting himself off as he noticed everyone.
"Come on, we're going to be late for our first class," Hermione said dragging Ron and Harry away. I waved as Harry turned to look at me curiously.
"Strange kid," I muttered as I watched the portrait close behind them.
"He's a fantastic Quiditch player though, could catch a snitch within 10 seconds," Oliver said as I nodded my head knowingly.
"Well that explains the great reflexes," I said rolling my eyes as everyone looked at me shaking their head.
"Let's get to lunch, maybe meet Diggory along the way?" Alicia said as she and Angelina burst into a fit of giggles. I smiled at them before reaching into my pocket.
"In that case-" I flipped open my mirror and applied some red lip-gloss and some mascara. I pressed my lips together "-I better look a little more presentable," I said flipping the mirror shut and lodging the items in my pocket as Katie linked her arm through mine as we hitched our bags on our shoulders making our way to the Great hall.
"You know that Diggory is a tart?" Fred said as George appeared between Katie and me.
"You forget, he's a very 'cute' tart," I said as he rolled his eyes at me.
"He's also the opposing Quiditch captain, Hufflepuffs to be more precise," George said as I rolled my eyes.
"Is this some kind of elaborate scheme to get me to not like him?" I said as they looked at each other appalled.
"I hope you wouldn't be talking bout me now would you?" I turned around and smiled as I saw him. I looked at Katie as she pulled the thumbs up at me before I jogged up to Cedric.
"Damn and I thought I'd see you first," I said punching the air in fake disappointment.
"Well lucky me, I guess," Cedric said as we both walked into the great hall. He sat down gesturing for me to sit next to him. I looked around and spotted the gang as they waved at me, I pointed at the seat in front of me as they nodded, I felt someone looking at me and turned around, only to see Flint's retreating back as Draco waved at me. I blew a kiss as he caught it placing it in his pocket. I giggled before sitting down.
"So Cedric…" I began as I snatched the toast out of his hand taking a bite as he shook his head grabbing another slice of toast buttering it.
"Yes Melody?" He inquired as an Asian girl walked past waving at him. I saw him wave back a slight blush in his cheeks.
"Huh, cute!" I said as he turned to me the blush deepening.
"I'm so going to hook you two up," I said as he looked at me appalled.
"But I thought that you-" He began stuttering as I shook my head taking another bite of my toast.
"-Huh, for a Hufflepuff you sure are vain," I said as he glared playfully at me before wrapping his arm around my shoulder noogying my hair.
"Oi! Watch it! I'm still on the look out for some ass," I said as he cocked a brow at me. I shoved him playfully as he laughed at me.
"You sure are different," he said as I rolled my eyes.
"So I've heard," I said as he pulled me into a tight hug. I shoved his chest playfully as I tucked some hair behind my ear as a cute looking Hufflepuff walked past.
"You like him? I can try and 'hook-you-up'?" Cedric said trying to wrap his tongue round the lingo.
"Hey I can get what I want on my own thank you very much," I said pointing my nose snobbishly in the air before laughing as Cedric laughed with me.
"Hey Cedric?" I watched as Cedric turned around and my eyes widened as I done a once over on the stocky build of a Ravenclaw. He had dark brown hair, brown eyes and pale skin, which gave him a mysterious air about him.
"Who's the chick?" He asked smiling at me as I smiled back at him holding my hand out; he took it slowly before I pulled him into a hug.
"House unity brother," I said as he chuckled at me hugging me back. I smiled at him as he leaned back as I shook his hand fervently.
"The name is Melody Pearce, head Prefect, and you are?" I asked as he stopped shaking my hand and brought it swiftly to his lips kissing my knuckles as a few girls around me sighed.
"The names' Roger Davies, it's a pleasure finally meeting you," he said as I looked at him quizzically.
"Can't be that famous already? I'm mean I'm just-" I began
"The girl on M.Q.S, owner of the first 'two' Phoenix 260's, fantastic manoeuvring skills in the air, I could only wish you'd have been in Ravenclaw," He said as I glanced at Cedric who shook his head at me.
"I'm guessing you're the Ravenclaw Quiditch captain, shame they don't have Quiditch this year, mind you lot, I still get to train," I said smugly as the two glared at me.
"Also a High Flyers top student," They both said as I smiled at them.
"Maybe next year, I can show you both a couple of my moves," I said as they both nodded as Roger turned to Cedric.
"Are you entering the Triwizard Tournament?" He asked as Cedric nodded. I closed my eyes thinking before my eyes popped open as my jaw dropped open and I shook my head. 'No way! He- someone must be working in the inside…but who? Huh? What the hell!' I grabbed Rogers's hand as I looked up at him.
"Are you entering?" He asked, I cocked a brow at him thinking.
"I don't think so, too much hassle for a person like me," I said as Roger cocked a brow.
"What do you mean a person like you?" He asked as I tensed before looking around.
"Because, I'm-I'm Head Prefect, I have enough things to do than add a tournament to my list, plus my studies, I need good grades to get into my final year of High Flyers," I said as they both nodded their heads.
"How you going with that institute anyway?" Cedric asked as Roger sat down opposite us at his table.
"Oh I have a meeting with my professor next week," I said as they both nodded.
"Here's your schedule Melody, Cedric," A girl said smiling sweetly at him as she passed me my schedule and handing one to Cedric.
"What's your first class?" He asked. I frowned at it folding the parchment and sticking it in my pocket.
"I have Advanced potions, this isn't good," I said as Cedric and Roger laughed.
"It's never good with Snape that guy is pure evil," Roger said as I nodded my head.
"Look, thanks for breakfast but I have to go," I said giving Cedric a hug before standing up and patting Roger on the head.
"I'll see you two later," I said sweetly before rushing off. I ran over to the Gryffindor table quickly spotting him laughing at Fred and George's stuffed faces.
"Hey guys', Lee!" I said turning to him. I gave him a look as he looked at me confusedly. I grabbed his arm and pulled him out of the Great hall.
"Lee, I have potions first!" I exclaimed as he looked at me questioningly.
"My cover might be blown! Snape is the Professor," I said as he looked at me like I was stupid.
"Yeah, I know he's a git, but don't worry you'll be fine," Lee said trying to calm me as I began pacing.
"Lee…he's a death eater," I whispered as his eyes widened, I began pacing again as Lee held his head in his hands.
"God, I didn't know he's a death eater, it explains so much," Lee said as I looked at him like he was crazy. I shoved him in the shoulder.
"Lee, if he finds out I'm in Gryffindor he's going to way lay it to The Dark Lord, I'll be screwed!" I said as he looked at me with wide eyes.
"You should go talk to Dumbledore," I turned around and saw Oliver standing there.
"What? Why? Huh?" I asked as he shook his head at me grabbing my arm and walking me away.
"Look, if you talk to Dumbledore, maybe he can find you a substitute, instead of going to his class, maybe he'll give you something to do in that time slot?" Oliver said as I pulled him into a hug in front of the eagle statue.
"God Oliver! Your so smart! I totally like you more than the twins!" I said as I heard him chuckle.
"Am I interrupting something?" I turned around and saw Dumbledore looking at us with a sparkle in his eyes.
"Oh, Hi Professor…uh? Could we maybe?" I gestured to the eagle as he nodded. The eagle began swirling around as Dumbledore stepped onto the stairs as I grabbed Oliver's hand pulling him up with me.
"Professor, I believe we have a problem," I said sitting down on a chair pulling Oliver down beside me.
"What kind of problem is that Miss Pearce?" He asked sitting down behind his desk. I looked at Oliver as he squeezed my hand gently. I looked back at Dumbledore.
"You see I have Advanced Potions next and-" I began as Dumbledore nodded his head.
"I understand, in fact, I have already thought up a plan," He said as I looked at him confusedly glancing at Oliver as he looked at me just as confusedly before we both turned back to Professor Dumbledore.
"Correct me if I am wrong, but I hear Mister Wood may be accompanying you to your Quiditch School?" He said looking at me over his spectacles.
"Well yeah-…I was gonna talk to you about that…" I said scratching the back of my head as he chuckled.
"Well of course you are doing a huge favour to Mister Wood is that not correct?" He said looking at Oliver as he nodded his head.
"I believe you mister Wood are also taking potions, and are doing exceptionally well in it?" He said as I turned to Oliver cocking a brow as he shrugged his shoulders.
"How was I to know that the healing potions were going to be in the exam?" He said shrugging his shoulders.
"Well in thanks to Miss Pearce, I believe you maybe able to tutor her," He said as I looked at him with wide eyes.
"Wait! How is that going to work? What am I going to do during that class? This is preposterous!" I said as Oliver nodded his head.
"Well, it is the only way to pass your potions class, I believe Professor Snape will not mind, I will talk to him after your lesson," he said looking at Oliver.
"Tests, exams and such will be done alongside your class, I will tell Severus that you are merrily taking up post for first years' flying classes, I believe Madame Hooch is looking for an able student to help her out, as the students have been tending do absolutely horrible each year, as for study time, I will give you both Friday afternoons off to study," He said as I glanced at Oliver as he nodded his head at me.
"I suppose I could do that, seems…reasonable, and Severus won't know about my private lessons?" I said as Dumbledore nodded his head.
"I will tell him I am teaching you, you may of course use my office if you wish?" He said as I nodded my head fervently smiling at him.
"It'd be an honour to work in here! Oh my god all my dreams will finally come true…well I guess spreading flower power and daisy chains can wait another day," I said as Dumbledore chuckled.
"Ah…The 70's was so much fun, me and my friend Artemis had a wonderful time putting daisy's in the ends of all the muggle guns, it was so beautiful," Dumbledore said smiling as me and Oliver laughed.
"Well, here is a note to Madame Hooch, and Oliver I will send an owl to Severus now, no one is to know of these lessons, mainly your friends, if a teacher is to find out tell them to report to me," Dumbledore said as we both stood up. I nodded my head at him as he handed me the note.
"Thank you Professor, it means a lot," I said as Oliver guided me to the door.
"Remember to use automatic watering charm on your daisy chains, they begin to look peaky if you don't," He said as I waved at him as we both trudged down the stairs.
"Well, I'm headed to the pitch, which is…this way," I said pointing to my right as Oliver nodded his head at me.
"Have fun with the first years' go easy on 'em," Oliver said smiling at me. I squeezed his hand smiling before kissing him on the cheek.
"It's a total shame your not available…guess I'll have to run for president of the Oliver Wood fan club," I said as he looked at me with wide eyes.
"See ya later," I said waving at him as I jogged off in the other direction leaving him standing there frowning to himself.
"Why does she always do that to me?" He whispered to my retreating back as I turned down a corridor. He shook his head before walking to Potions.
