Chapter Review: It's then I realized what I was getting myself into. He wrote a poem about her and Harry together. He knew he was the right one for her, I knew it too. I just hope she realizes Harry isn't the one for her. But hope is all I can do. She's gotten herself stuck in a whole way to deep for her own good. Maybe, just maybe, she can climb herself out of it.
Chapter 5: I Thank The Twins
All I know when I left was that I took off running. I made it to my dorm without anyone noticing me which is what I had hoped for. I changed into some jeans and a shirt. Then I threw a black jacket over my head, and took off running toward the Great Hall. I waited outside the doors for Colin. I saw that Madeleine girl come out, and I tried to blend into the wall like a chameleon, but I guess my blending techniques are a little off because she began walking towards me.
You wouldn't believe what she was wearing. A very low-cut jean skirt, and a really tight fitting black shirt with a low v-neck thing. If I wasn't interested in someone else at the moment I may have actually stopped to take a look at her. She strode toward me like she owned the place. I saw guys give me jealous stares, but I was too busy making the most scared face you could ever see. If possible I had flattened myself up against the wall even more then I had already. She had a mischievous grin on her face as she pushed me up against the wall and kissed me.
"Just to let you know what you're missing." She whispered in my ear as she winked at me. Then she turned around and walked off swinging her hips way too much. It looked as if at any moment they would come flying off.
I saw Colin hurry over to me.
"What was that all about?" He said as he reached me. I shrugged and casually started on my way to the carriages that were lined up outside. I saw the little horsey things and began petting the one whose carriage we would be riding in. I saw many people give me weird looks, but I pretended not to notice. Then I saw Colin staring at me in disbelief.
"Y-you can see them?"
"Er…see what?"
"The thestrals," I looked at him strangely and he said, "You know the things that are leading the carriages."
"Can't everyone see them?"
"No, you can only see them, if you've seen someone die."
I pulled my hand away from the-thestral, and put it in my pocket. "Oh." I said as I climbed into the carriage. Colin climbed in after me.
"So who did you see umm you know?"
"My mom," He looked at me as if to continue, "When I was little, maybe six or seven, I watched her die. She died from too much blood loss. I don't remember how, but she had accidentally cut her wrist open, and the blood just wouldn't stop coming out. It was maybe a year after my brother was born, he never really knew her, I can barely even remember her now. She was a witch, and my dad was a wizard. He couldn't stand to see all her belongings, so by the next month we had moved to America, where until recently we had resided. Then my father got transferred, he now works at the Ministry, and now, here I am."
"Does anyone know?" I could tell he had pity in his eyes. I think the thing that hurt the most when my mom had died was the pity everyone gave me, like I wasn't capable of anything.
"A couple people in America, but here you are the only one. Please don't tell anyone, I don't want anyone here to have a reason to feel sorry for me."
He nodded his head, and the rest of the ride we sat in silence. When we finally got there we both jumped out. I told him to go do whatever he wanted to because I was just going to look around. He nodded and we parted ways. I saw the Weasley Wizard Wheezes sign so I walked in. The store was pretty full. I looked around seeing many odd devices. I decided to buy a couple assorted things. I made it to the counter, and behind it I saw two twins that had the same flaming red hair as Ron and Ginny.
"Would you like to try-" One of the twins began saying.
"-Our newest product-"
"-It makes your enemy freeze for 20 minutes and forget everything that had happened in the last 5 minutes-"
"-Giving you a long enough time to make an escape." The other twin finished. The held up a basket filled up to the top. I shook my head. They shrugged and sat it back on the counter.
"Have you thought about what I said?" Asked Madeleine as she walked up to me. I was holding the bag filled with all the products, but I was still standing next to the counter.
"Well actually-" I began.
"Great! I knew you'd come around. Come on we can go to that adorable restaurant down
there and you can buy me a meal, then we could maybe walk around for a little while, and you can buy me a bunch of really cute outfits!"
I stood there dumbstruck. I just nodded my head, and she smiled really big. I put on an innocent smile as I lifted up the basket full of new candies. "Would you like one? I heard they're as good as chocolate!"
"What's in them?" I looked at the Weasley twins for help.
"Well actually-" One began.
"-it's just a fat-free chocolate-" said the other.
"-that we are giving out to all of our customers!" They said in unison.
Note to Self: I owe my life to the Weasley twins.
She giggled excitedly, and grabbed one. She bit into it.
"Oh my gosh this is really go-" But she didn't get to finish as her body froze. Her facial expression was hilarious since she was in mid-sentence.
"Thank you so much guys," I said to them, "If you ever need anything I'll be glad to help you out."
They smiled. "Well actually-"
"-we could use some help here-"
"-we just need someone to make sure our candy tastes all right!"
"So I'd be like a test subject?" I asked hesitantly. They nodded enthusiastically.
"Don't worry, you would be paid a fairly good amount." I felt inside my pocket. There wasn't that much money left in there.
"I guess. Just tell me what I need to do." How bad could it be, right?
