Chapter 5
When she had woken up that morning, Shiara had no clue that the whole school had been gossiping about her and George. The whole night had been a haze to her, too many butter beers.
Cornering Shane, she dragged him off the breakfast and made him tell her what exactly had happened that night.
"and then you guys got off the dance floor and started dancing on tables…"
Shiara groaned and whacked her already aching head against the wall….
"nooooo…I did not do that…tell me I didn't!"
Another voice added to her misery by brightly saying "sorry, love, you did…"
Looking up, she saw Fred grinning at her and a slightly green George behind him.
"we danced on tables?" asked George weakly.
"yeah" said Shane grinning.
Both George and Shiara groaned and looked at eachother.
"what are we going to do?"
"I don't know…"
"don't forget when you both sat on Seamus' lap and sang him naughty songs"
"and when you decided to have a drinking contest"
"or when you…."
Shiara moaned and said "I don't want to hear more…please! George! What do we do?"
George grinned and said "give them something to talk about of course"
"what?"
"yeah… lets present an..uh…united….front"
"huh?"
Before Shiara could process what he had suggested, he had pulled her into the large hall and dragged her over to the Gryffindor table. Introducing her to all his friends, he motioned for Phil and Jake (who had been peacefully eating at the Ravenclaw table) to join them.
Shane sat down and immediately began flirting with some Gryffindor girls seated near by while Jake listened resignedly to Shiara's complaining.
"shi…relax…you're hyperventilating again"
"no im not!"
"yes you are…if you go on like this…ill have to tell everyone the Shiara Trente hyperventilation story" said Shane.
"SHUT UP!"
"the what?" asked Fred with an evil grin.
Shiara groaned and laid her head on the table and closed her eyes in resignation.
"see…when we were young, innocent (Jake snorted very loudly at this point and Shane hit him) first years, Shiara and I were wandering the corridors after curfew looking for a broom closet to snog in (Shiara hit him) ok..fine! we were lost… and we were searching for our common room. Basically we came across pretty boy Diggory and since we had just had a narrow escape from Filch via a dangerous and circuitous route ("it was bloody annoying…he just wouldn't ask the portraits for directions…men!" ), Shiara was not keen on seeing darling Ceddy because she thought she looked like a bloody hag."
Shiara began thumping her head against the table.
"anyway, so we jump into the nearest hiding place…a broom closet on the 4th floor"
"I know that one!"
"you would, Fred!"
"back to the story… Shiara and i..um…rather unfortunately… forgot to check if there was anyone in there already…"
"oh my god…"
"exactly…anyway…It turned out to be a girl who was waiting for Diggory. And Shiara started hyperventilating… so when Diggory opened the damn closet…he saw me, Shiara and this other girl ("what was her name again…?" "just shut up") all crammed into one tiny closet. And Shiara was bright red and on the verge of crying… so basically…it looked pretty bad."
Shiara gave a low groan and glared at everyone around the table, particularly Fred who was almost crying with laughter.
This was just NOT her day.
Angela and Melissa were very bored. Binns had been droning on and on about the Goblin wars for close to half an hour and they still had another class to go.
Angela pulled out her three way parchment and started scribbling notes to Shiara and Melissa.
Three way parchment was a product of three very smart and bored Ravenclaw's. If one of them wrote something on one piece of parchment, it would magically appear on the other two parchments.
Angela: I'm bored!
Melissa: No kidding… Binns has been going on forever…
Shiara: Yeah, I hate this class.
Angela and Melissa usually sat next to eachother and Shiara usually sat next to Jake… that way she could have fun and swipe Angela's notes afterwards. Not that she really needed them, she was, after all, a Ravenclaw.
Jake grabbed her quill and joined in..
Jake: hey losers!
Angela: hey! Who are you calling a loser?
Melissa: I know! Look whose talking!
Jake: Im talking…me! Stunningly handsome and all that jazz…
Shiara: you're such a pain, Jake, go talk to Shane
Jake: no, this is so much more fun…
Melissa: we're having a PRIVATE discussion…no boys allowed.
Jake: too bad, I have a piece of gossip that will have you guys floored.
Angela, Melissa and Shiara : WHAT?
Jake: sorry, cant tell you, no boys allowed, remember? Too bad…
Angela, Melissa and Shiara: JAKE!
Jake rolled around laughing for a bit before writing…
Jake: Diggory and Spinnet had a HUGE fight and its all Shiara's fault.
Shiara's jaw dropped and she wrote furiously…
Shiara: how is it MY fault?
Jake: apparently Diggory still has feelings for you and didn't like the idea of George touching you…he lost it after he saw you guys dancing at the Gryffindor party
Shiara felt like her stomach was going to fall out. Angela, Melissa, Shane, Phil and Jake were all watching her anxiously. Without bothering to ask Binns for permission, she grabbed her books and ran out of the classroom.
She found herself running towards the dungeons, she needed to speak to Blaise. Blaise, like all other Slytherins, guarded his secrets carefully. He had never told her where his common room was but she had a childish belief in Blaise, he would never let her down, he would always find her.
Blaise Zambini wasn't sure what was wrong.When he had finally found Shiara, she was sitting silently on the floor in the empty charms corridoor. Scooping her up, he carried her to the Ravenclaw common room and though she couldn't remember telling him the password, carried her upto her dorm. When he finally came downstairs, leaving her with Angela and Melissa, he met Shane, Phil and Jake who were all anxiously waiting to find out if she was alright. Blaise didn't know what these idiots had done but he would take them and their whole house down if they didn't have a suitable explanation. Nobody made his cousin miserable and got away with it.
After careful questioning, he extracted the fact that Diggory was the root cause from Jake. Fuming, he set off to on his mission to make Diggory sorry and wreak havoc on Hogwarts…but first he had to pay a little visit to a certain Gryffindor and ask him what his intentions were concerning his cousin.
He was accompanied on this crusade by Shane, Jake and Phil and Raoul (he just wanted to watch the entertainment. And ask George Weasley who had cut his hair).
He had an uncomfortable feeling that he was beginning to get very Gryffindor like. It was an aggravating thought and he was more determined than ever to kill Diggory.
