Chapter Ten
The next morning the eight sort of connected and they were all still tired and they all seemed to have half there classes together, through out the week. It wasn't really bad though considering they were separated, it wasn't that bad at all. And to make it even better Slytherin and Gryffindors had first class together, Care of Magical Creatures.
Cherry heard in the back round from talking with Mya that they were going to study the rare Phoenix first.
"So how was your first night here?" Cherry asked standing by her.
"It wasn't all that bad, but see her that's Hermione she doesn't like me because I like Ron. What about you?" asked Mya as a few Gryffindors passed them.
"The same, except Jason's the one whose jealous imagine that, but otherwise Slytherin house isn't that bad," said Cherry as Jason and Adam walked up.
"Hey Mya, what's happenin' girl?" asked Jason putting an arm around her.
"Hey Jas," she said.
"Hi have a good night in Slytherin?" asked Adam swinging an arm to Cherry's shoulder.
"Yeah not have bad," she said as they walked up to the group.
"Hey Cherry you think this will make Ron or Draco jealous, 'cause two other guys are on us," asked Mya.
"Probably, that's the way guys are, and were not even going out with them." Cherry answered.
"I think they just started to notice." Said Adam.
The girls looked towards the group of kids. At center was Draco, Harry, and Ron, who looked like they'd just been fighting. The girls stifled a laugh as the two boys walked up to them.
"Whose this?" Ron and Draco said at the same time.
"Ron this is Jason," Mya said.
"I thought you didn't have a boyfriend," said Ron.
"I don't, he's one of my best friends," she said surprised.
"Oh okay you had me worried for a minute," he said.
"That's the last thing you have to worry about." Said Jason.
"Well I wasn't sure when I saw you with your arm around her," Ron said quietly.
~~~
"This is Adam, Draco," said Cherry.
"Okay and your arm was around her because?" asked Draco looking at him.
"What's it matter to you?" asked Adam.
"It matters a lot to me other wise I wouldn't of asked," he said.
"Alright chill, Adam is one of my good friends nothing more," said Cherry, as Adam's arm dropped to his side.
"Fine, understandable," Draco said as Adam went the other way.
"You were jealous weren't you?" Cherry asked.
"No I wasn't." he said.
"Yeah you were, but you don't have to admit it," she said.
"Good because I'm not going admit it, its not true," said Draco as Crabbe and Goyle stepped up beside him.
"You're an exceptional liar, but I think you could learn to do it better," said Cherry staring at him.
"If you say so, I don't think you've met Crabbe and Goyle, there my two body guards," Draco said introducing them.
"Nice to meet both of you I s'pose you already know who I am though." She said smiling as they both nodded.
~~~
Adam and Jason watched the girls walk off with the other guys. Jason was finally realizing that Cherry really did like Draco, yet he wasn't sure why that was. Adam thought it was great that Mya had found a guy, even if he did look a bit goofy to him. So Adam was happy for the girls and Jason was worried and jealous for both of them. The two walked over to the back of the group.
"I don't understand what she sees in him, I just don't see it," said Jason nodding at Cherry who was standing with Malfoy.
He's rich, powerful, and she must think he's pretty cute," said Adam shaking his head.
"That's what he said last night, I don't like him Adam I don't like him at all." Said Jason clenching a fist.
"Jason seriously, you need to stop this whole jealousy thing, it really wont help," said Adam.
"Maybe but Cherry should be with me and not him," said Jason.
"Alright that's it we need to find you a girlfriend to spend your year with," Adam said looking around.
"Yeah maybe, you want to help me find someone?" he asked.
"Of coarse, this is going to be great," he said still looking over the class.
"Well there's no one good enough for you in this class, maybe a Ravenclaw," Adam said debating on a good girlfriend for Jason.
~~~
"Oh Draco I forgot I have to tell Mya something, I'll be back in a few minutes," said Cherry and walked off.
"Draco why haven't you given it to her yet? The fingers still bare." Said Crabbe.
"Its right here okay, I'll give it to her in our next class we have study hall?" he said looking down.
"We have study hall this year?" said Goyle looking up.
"That's what are schedule says, I guess we can do what ever though," said Draco looking at the class.
"So Draco do you really like this girl or are you just fucking with her?" asked Pansy who showed up by his shoulder.
"What do you care?" he asked.
"She seems really nice Draco don't screw with her emotions, you don't know how she'll take it she from the states," said Pansy looking him square in the eye.
"You don't have to worry about her emotions, for that matter I really do like her, she's really well not like any other girls I've meet." Said Draco.
"Why do you care so much?" he asked.
"Because I know how you are with girlfriends, you tear down there worlds, it happened to me, so I know what I'm talking about here," she said looking at him.
"Yeah about that, I didn't know how much it hurt you before, but I wouldn't do that to her, and I'll tell you why she looks like she has Banshee in her, I sort of got this feeling." Draco said looking towards her.
"Okay, yeah, just be careful is all I'm saying." Pansy said then walked off.
"You think she believed anything you jut said?" asked Crabbe as she walked away.
"If she didn't its her problem because I told her the truth on what I think and how I'll treat Cherry." Said Draco looking over at her.
"Seriously Draco you didn't lie about any of that?" asked Goyle.
"No, there's just something about her, at first I didn't think I would like her, but I do," Goyle and Crabbe looked half surprised.
"You realize you could treat her how ever you wanted and you'd still have her," Goyle said looking at him.
"I know a Malfoy always gets what they want but I don't think I could...yeah your right." Said Draco turning them.
"Draco that's great...so what's this girl got on you?" Crabbe asked looking at him slightly.
"She doesn't have anything on me, she's just special that's all," Draco said looking at her.
~~~
"Hey Ron what class do we have after this?" asked Mya looking at him.
"We have Divination are you taking that?" Ron asked looking at her.
"Yes I still think I'm taking that stupid class," said Mya sighing.
"Well that's what we have then, the teachers a little weird, so fair warning," said Ron looking at Harry.
"Ahh yeah she defiantly has a few problems, Mya there's Cherry." Harry said looking up.
"Heya Cherry, what's up?" asked Mya.
"I gotta talk to you, do you have spare time today or tommorw?" asked Cherry.
"Yeah, abut what's it about?" Mya wanted to know.
"It's big I'd tell Jason but he'd flip out like he always does," Cherry said.
"Okay I'll let you know at lunch what my schedule is I don't know where its at right now," Mya said and stuck her hand in her pocket.
"Alright so does he know you have Veela in your blood?" asked Cherry nodding at Ron.
"Yeah I told him last night, didn't you tell Draco about having Banshee in your blood?" Mya asked courisley.
"Well not exactly, but I think he knows I do some how its weird," Cherry said laughing.
"That's the way some guys are right?" Mya asked.
"Yeah lets just go with that theory right now," said Cherry smiling.
"Okay your probably right," she said laughing.
"Alright I'll see you at lunch." Said Cherry turning away.
"Ok see you than since we only have about ten minutes of this class left." Said Mya as Cherry walked off.
Harry sighed as Cherry walked off grabbing the attention of Mya and Ron. Mya looked at him and smiled shortly.
"Yeah, Harry's in love with her," Ron said.
"Ron! I can't believe you!" Harry said as Mya laughed.
"Don't worry I wont tell her it really doesn't matter ta me, you can count on me," said Mya looking at him.
"Thanks, you two are the only one that know, no thanks to Ron." Harry said as they were dismissed.
"Its really not a problem since it really doesn't make a difference to me," Mya said slowly as they headed back to the castle talking.
~~~
Cherry walked back over to Draco and his two body guards after talking to Mya. She noticed that Pansy had just walked off with another Slytherin girl in her class. As much as she knew of Pansy she liked everything she knew at least she did so far. Pansy seemed like one of the girls she'd get along with well enough though. Draco looked up at Cherry as she walked over and joined them again. She could see by looking at him that he had an air of determination, that wouldn't leave. It didn't sect to amaze her, but she couldn't help but wonder what he was so determined to do. She stood there eyes locked on his trying to figure it out, figure something out that she couldn't, and his voice broke through her mind. "What is it your trying to figure out about me?" asked Draco looking at her wondering. "I don't know exactly, I guess anything about you, you keep everything so hidden, its hard to figure anything out," said Cherry answering him. "Truth be told I have very little hidden, you just have to ask me about it," He said. "And how do I know you wont lie?" Cherry asked looking at him. "Simple, I don't lie, I don't dance, and I don't lose or cry," Draco said simple enough. "You don't lie that's like saying you don't breath every one lies," Cherry said knowing from experience with other boyfriends. "Okay, fine I can lie but I prefer to call it stretching the truth, and I don't stretch the truth very often unless I really hate someone...like Potter," said Draco as they headed back to the castle. As they walked on Jason and Pansy joined into the group to walk back up the slopping driveway. None of the Slytherins were in much of a hurry to get to there next class, probably because it was only study hall. After all study hall was never to important especially on the first day back when they had nothing to study yet. Draco went to put his arm around Cherry's waist, but she slipped away. Cherry gave him a quick smile and stepped over to Jason. "So tell me Draco, how does it feel to be pushed away?" asked Pansy. "That, I wasn't pushed away she's just messing around, I don't think she wants to get Jason upset right now." Said Draco patting her on the shoulder. "No Draco, Pansy's right you were denied, your obviously losing your touch like I said," Crabbe told him. "I'm not losing anything, she's teasing me," said Draco coldly entering the library.
~~~
Cherry smiled at Draco and attached herself to Jason's right arm. He gave her a weak smile Jason loved Cherry, but they never got along while dating. Cherry respected Jason they were best friends and respected each others choices. "So you stopped being jealous over Draco yet?" asked Cherry seriously. "Has the sky stopped being blue? ...you know he's gonna ask you out soon." Said Jason "Oh, well, but I bet you love that idea don't you?" she asked smiling. "I hate the idea of it, I remember how you were after Will, he broke down your world and left you to burn, so what are you gonna say to Draco?" he asked looking at her. "I hope Will dies, I'd curse his name a million times if I'd knew it would work, I try to keep him and his memory away, just when I think I've done it something happens, the scars are just to deep," Cherry said quietly. "The scars are to deep to what, hide?" Jason asked. "No I can hide them, but I wonder if I shouldn't anymore, maybe it would go away if I didn't do that." She said walking into the castle. "I don't know Cherry, all I know is that I don't want to see ya hurt any more, or again." He said. "I know that Jas I've heard it before, Draco's not gonna hurt me though, Will was different, he lost the will to live or love for that matter." Said Cherry as they walked into the library. "Yeah, I know you've heard it before, but what about Draco? What are ya gonna say when he asks?" Jason asked.
"Do you really need ta ask? Why does it matter so much to you?" asked Cherry throwing her books on a table.
"Why do I bother, I don't really know why I even bother asking you. You already know the reason." Said Jason.
"Yes I know that you've told me at least a hundred times in the last two weeks." She said sitting down.
"Jason, do you think you could lay off on repeating what you've said a million times, Thank you, you know I love ya like my brother," said Cherry.
"Yes I know, but its good to hear every once and awhile." Said Jason leaning across the table.
"Don't get to use to it, it wont happen as often now," she said smiling.
"Here comes your boyfriend." Jason said quietly.
"He's not my boyfriend," she said.
"You mean he's not your boyfriend yet?" asked Jason.
"Jason shut up!" she said hitting him.
"Can I still you away for a little while Cherry?" asked Draco standing by the table.
"Yeah, sure," said Cherry looking at Jason as she got up.
She followed Draco through rows in the library, then he stopped suddenly in front of a shelve. Cherry looked up the book cases were huge, and had to of held thousands of books. Draco searched for a book with his eyes, but he couldn't seem to find what he was looking for. He stopped pulled a book down and walked out of the row and sat at the table.
"What are you looking for Draco?" Cherry asked.
"Proof?" he said.
"Proof, care to go into details?" she asked.
"Proof that banshee blood runs through your veins, even though you don't look it," he said looking at her.
"How do you know that, I didn't tell you that did I?" she asked looking up.
"Yes you told me, not that you had to I already figured that you did, just something about you." Said Draco flipping through the pages.
"I told you? I don't remember telling you about it," Cherry said thinking about it.
"Forget it Cherry, now look at this picture you look almost exactly like her," he said turning to a page.
"That was the proof that I was looking for." He said smiling at her.
"Her names Chelsea Rosewood, one of the most famously known Banshee's of her time, not because she killed so many people but because of the way she looked. Dark Blond hair instead of black, and green instead of darker colored ones." Cherry read out loud.
"She's beautiful, and you look amazingly like her, your so beautiful," Draco said looking between the two.
"I can't believe this I've never been told about her before, I've never even seen a picture of her before now." Cherry said sitting down.
~~~
Mya followed Ron through the castle, she was trying to remember the halls and where everything was at; but it was proving hard every thing kept moving around. She watched Ron climb up a silver latter and disappear into what she guessed must have been a room. Then she climbed up after him looking around, her jaw dropped when he saw the room. It was dark, and smoke gave off different scents, that smelled welcoming. Adam and Mya joined Ron and Harry around one table, and looked around a little more. Mya looked around the room realizing that Hermione wasn't there yet, and turned to Ron.
"Where's Hermione? Shouldn't she be here by now?" asked Mya.
"Hermione no, she walked out of this class back in our third year." Harry said smiling.
"Oh well, I really was looking forward to bonding with her, and becoming friends," Mya said smiling.
"Okay, okay class welcome back I expect you all read over the summer, well today were going to briefly revue tea leaf readings," Mrs. Twerlany said.
The class got up from there seats and got there cups that were filled with tea, and sat back down to begin the procedure. Mya looked at Adam and frowned slightly at him, she looked up at him shaking her head.
"It says here your going to have bad luck and get hurt in the next month," said Mya.
"Oh really?" he asked.
"No, it really says your going to find a new friend, ya know like a girlfriend...just what you need." Mya said smiling.
"Alright, Mya yours says your going to have good fortune, because your such a nice person," Adam said looked up at her and smiled.
"Well Harry, it looks like your going to have a painful death again, someone will get pissed off at you and stab you...it will probably be Malfoy." Ron said and they both started laughing, Mya turned around and looked at them.
"Let me see that," Mya said taking Harry's cup.
"Good news is your not going to die, it says your going to find love from someone close to you. Bad news is Malfoy will probably stab you, but it wont kill you." Mya told him giving his cup back.
"Is that what it really says?" Harry asked.
"Yes, this kind of thing is me specialty." Mya said nodding her head.
"Well Mrs. Twerlany's a little weird when ever she predicts something it ends up being that Harry's going to die, so we just play along with her so she doesn't fail us." Ron said looking at her.
"I'm not going to even bother asking." Adam said twirling his wand around.
"Yeah it's a long story but since third year she has been predicting Harry's death every time." Ron said smiling.
"It's actually pretty funny to hear the different ways he's going to die each time," the both laughed.
"I think you're crazy to stay in a class with a teacher who doesn't know what she's talking about." Mya said looking at them.
"Don't say that, she knows what she's talking about!" Lavender said turning around.
"Alright if you say so," said Mya minding her own business.
"You people from America just don't appreciate anything." Said Parvati.
"I know you just didn't say that, when you've never lived outside of England," Mya said standing up.
"It doesn't matter you're all the same," she said standing up to.
"For being so smart you have a really closed mind..." she said.
"What do you mean?" Lavender asked.
"We're not all the same, Adams sort of like Dean, Cherry's like Draco, I'm like Ron...none of us are the same, we're just like you!" Mya said and sat back down.
"Sorry...I didn't mean it personally or anything," Parvati said.
"Well how bout you just keep to yourself with things you have no idea about." Mya said turning back to the guys.
"You'll have to ignore Parvati and Lavender, this is there favorite class, they absolutely love Twerlany," Ron said.
"Yeah I've noticed that, its okay I really don't care what they think about me, I just wanted to make a point." Mya said gathering her books into a pile.
"And that you did, I think they got the picture," Harry said looking over at the girls.
"You know last year we had a replacement because she got fired but I guess Dumbledore brought her back this year for some reason," said Ron watching Twerlany look at a tea cup.
"You probably would have been better off with the other Professor you had," Mya said as Mrs. Twerlany walked over to Harry.
"It is what I've feared Harry, someone close to you will try to kill you and will find success in it, and so I warn you to be careful who you associate with Mr. Potter." She said and walked into her office as the bell rang for lunch.
They watched as Mrs. Twerlany fell into her chair and laid her head on her desk. Mya shook her head, she didn't understand why Dumbledore would want a teacher who didn't know what she was talking about teaching the students. She wonder what her thing with Harry dieing was to, nothing came to mind it was beyond her understanding.
"See what did we tell you she's obsessed with him dieing," Ron said as they left the room.
"I guess your right, but she still shouldn't be able to teach, she doesn't know how at least not the right way." She said as they head to lunch.
"Yes but I don't think he'll fire her again, I don't think she's that bad just likes for me to die...a lot," Harry said dropping his bag outside the great hall.
~~~
Draco came back a few minutes later and sat down across from Cherry at the table. He pulled the ring out of the box and handed it to Cherry, watching her. She took it from him slowly and looked at it wonderingly. It was beautiful a silver snake with emerald green eyes, then she handed it back to him.
"What do you think?" he asked taking it.
"It's really nice whose it's for?" she asked.
"You, I want you to wear it, I made it for you after all." He said slipping it on her finger.
"You made it? That's amazing." Cherry said looking at it.
"While were talking and sort of alone, would you want to go out with me?" asked Draco sure about himself.
Cherry's eyes widened was she ready for another boy friend already? Hell yeah she was, and she had little doubt that Draco would ever hurt her.
"Okay, yes...I mean I'd love to." Said Cherry leaning across the table and kissing him on the cheek.
"By the way, how'd you make this ring, its really nice I like it." She said looking at it closer.
"It's just something one of my friends taught me awhile ago. I just added the Malfoy charm to it, it's never failed me before...except maybe that once when I went over to Russia." Draco said taking her hand.
Together they picked up there things and head off to lunch as the bell rang over head. As they walked in the great hall no one seemed to notice them, which was just all as well; Cherry didn't need everyone watching her. They didn't want to put up with anybody asking ridiculous questions. Cherry was suppose to meet Mya but she didn't have time, she was with Draco. As Mya didn't have the time either, she was to busy talking to Ron. Neither one of the girls really seemed to care to much they both had pretty much forgotten about meeting the other one.
The next morning the eight sort of connected and they were all still tired and they all seemed to have half there classes together, through out the week. It wasn't really bad though considering they were separated, it wasn't that bad at all. And to make it even better Slytherin and Gryffindors had first class together, Care of Magical Creatures.

"I don't know exactly, I guess anything about you, you keep everything so hidden, its hard to figure anything out," said Cherry answering him. "Truth be told I have very little hidden, you just have to ask me about it," He said. "And how do I know you wont lie?" Cherry asked looking at him. "Simple, I don't lie, I don't dance, and I don't lose or cry," Draco said simple enough. "You don't lie that's like saying you don't breath every one lies," Cherry said knowing from experience with other boyfriends. "Okay, fine I can lie but I prefer to call it stretching the truth, and I don't stretch the truth very often unless I really hate someone...like Potter," said Draco as they headed back to the castle. As they walked on Jason and Pansy joined into the group to walk back up the slopping driveway. None of the Slytherins were in much of a hurry to get to there next class, probably because it was only study hall. After all study hall was never to important especially on the first day back when they had nothing to study yet. Draco went to put his arm around Cherry's waist, but she slipped away. Cherry gave him a quick smile and stepped over to Jason. "So tell me Draco, how does it feel to be pushed away?" asked Pansy. "That, I wasn't pushed away she's just messing around, I don't think she wants to get Jason upset right now." Said Draco patting her on the shoulder. "No Draco, Pansy's right you were denied, your obviously losing your touch like I said," Crabbe told him. "I'm not losing anything, she's teasing me," said Draco coldly entering the library.

Cherry smiled at Draco and attached herself to Jason's right arm. He gave her a weak smile Jason loved Cherry, but they never got along while dating. Cherry respected Jason they were best friends and respected each others choices. "So you stopped being jealous over Draco yet?" asked Cherry seriously. "Has the sky stopped being blue? ...you know he's gonna ask you out soon." Said Jason "Oh, well, but I bet you love that idea don't you?" she asked smiling. "I hate the idea of it, I remember how you were after Will, he broke down your world and left you to burn, so what are you gonna say to Draco?" he asked looking at her. "I hope Will dies, I'd curse his name a million times if I'd knew it would work, I try to keep him and his memory away, just when I think I've done it something happens, the scars are just to deep," Cherry said quietly. "The scars are to deep to what, hide?" Jason asked. "No I can hide them, but I wonder if I shouldn't anymore, maybe it would go away if I didn't do that." She said walking into the castle. "I don't know Cherry, all I know is that I don't want to see ya hurt any more, or again." He said. "I know that Jas I've heard it before, Draco's not gonna hurt me though, Will was different, he lost the will to live or love for that matter." Said Cherry as they walked into the library. "Yeah, I know you've heard it before, but what about Draco? What are ya gonna say when he asks?" Jason asked.
"Do you really need ta ask? Why does it matter so much to you?" asked Cherry throwing her books on a table.
"Why do I bother, I don't really know why I even bother asking you. You already know the reason." Said Jason.
"Yes I know that you've told me at least a hundred times in the last two weeks." She said sitting down.
"Jason, do you think you could lay off on repeating what you've said a million times, Thank you, you know I love ya like my brother," said Cherry.
"Yes I know, but its good to hear every once and awhile." Said Jason leaning across the table.
"Don't get to use to it, it wont happen as often now," she said smiling.
"Here comes your boyfriend." Jason said quietly.
"He's not my boyfriend," she said.
"You mean he's not your boyfriend yet?" asked Jason.
"Jason shut up!" she said hitting him.
"Can I still you away for a little while Cherry?" asked Draco standing by the table.
"Yeah, sure," said Cherry looking at Jason as she got up.
She followed Draco through rows in the library, then he stopped suddenly in front of a shelve. Cherry looked up the book cases were huge, and had to of held thousands of books. Draco searched for a book with his eyes, but he couldn't seem to find what he was looking for. He stopped pulled a book down and walked out of the row and sat at the table.
"What are you looking for Draco?" Cherry asked.
"Proof?" he said.
"Proof, care to go into details?" she asked.
"Proof that banshee blood runs through your veins, even though you don't look it," he said looking at her.
"How do you know that, I didn't tell you that did I?" she asked looking up.
"Yes you told me, not that you had to I already figured that you did, just something about you." Said Draco flipping through the pages.
"I told you? I don't remember telling you about it," Cherry said thinking about it.
"Forget it Cherry, now look at this picture you look almost exactly like her," he said turning to a page.
"That was the proof that I was looking for." He said smiling at her.
"Her names Chelsea Rosewood, one of the most famously known Banshee's of her time, not because she killed so many people but because of the way she looked. Dark Blond hair instead of black, and green instead of darker colored ones." Cherry read out loud.
"She's beautiful, and you look amazingly like her, your so beautiful," Draco said looking between the two.
"I can't believe this I've never been told about her before, I've never even seen a picture of her before now." Cherry said sitting down.

Mya followed Ron through the castle, she was trying to remember the halls and where everything was at; but it was proving hard every thing kept moving around. She watched Ron climb up a silver latter and disappear into what she guessed must have been a room. Then she climbed up after him looking around, her jaw dropped when he saw the room. It was dark, and smoke gave off different scents, that smelled welcoming. Adam and Mya joined Ron and Harry around one table, and looked around a little more. Mya looked around the room realizing that Hermione wasn't there yet, and turned to Ron.
"Where's Hermione? Shouldn't she be here by now?" asked Mya.
"Hermione no, she walked out of this class back in our third year." Harry said smiling.
"Oh well, I really was looking forward to bonding with her, and becoming friends," Mya said smiling.
"Okay, okay class welcome back I expect you all read over the summer, well today were going to briefly revue tea leaf readings," Mrs. Twerlany said.
The class got up from there seats and got there cups that were filled with tea, and sat back down to begin the procedure. Mya looked at Adam and frowned slightly at him, she looked up at him shaking her head.
"It says here your going to have bad luck and get hurt in the next month," said Mya.
"Oh really?" he asked.
"No, it really says your going to find a new friend, ya know like a girlfriend...just what you need." Mya said smiling.
"Alright, Mya yours says your going to have good fortune, because your such a nice person," Adam said looked up at her and smiled.
"Well Harry, it looks like your going to have a painful death again, someone will get pissed off at you and stab you...it will probably be Malfoy." Ron said and they both started laughing, Mya turned around and looked at them.
"Let me see that," Mya said taking Harry's cup.
"Good news is your not going to die, it says your going to find love from someone close to you. Bad news is Malfoy will probably stab you, but it wont kill you." Mya told him giving his cup back.
"Is that what it really says?" Harry asked.
"Yes, this kind of thing is me specialty." Mya said nodding her head.
"Well Mrs. Twerlany's a little weird when ever she predicts something it ends up being that Harry's going to die, so we just play along with her so she doesn't fail us." Ron said looking at her.
"I'm not going to even bother asking." Adam said twirling his wand around.
"Yeah it's a long story but since third year she has been predicting Harry's death every time." Ron said smiling.
"It's actually pretty funny to hear the different ways he's going to die each time," the both laughed.
"I think you're crazy to stay in a class with a teacher who doesn't know what she's talking about." Mya said looking at them.
"Don't say that, she knows what she's talking about!" Lavender said turning around.
"Alright if you say so," said Mya minding her own business.
"You people from America just don't appreciate anything." Said Parvati.
"I know you just didn't say that, when you've never lived outside of England," Mya said standing up.
"It doesn't matter you're all the same," she said standing up to.
"For being so smart you have a really closed mind..." she said.
"What do you mean?" Lavender asked.
"We're not all the same, Adams sort of like Dean, Cherry's like Draco, I'm like Ron...none of us are the same, we're just like you!" Mya said and sat back down.
"Sorry...I didn't mean it personally or anything," Parvati said.
"Well how bout you just keep to yourself with things you have no idea about." Mya said turning back to the guys.
"You'll have to ignore Parvati and Lavender, this is there favorite class, they absolutely love Twerlany," Ron said.
"Yeah I've noticed that, its okay I really don't care what they think about me, I just wanted to make a point." Mya said gathering her books into a pile.
"And that you did, I think they got the picture," Harry said looking over at the girls.
"You know last year we had a replacement because she got fired but I guess Dumbledore brought her back this year for some reason," said Ron watching Twerlany look at a tea cup.
"You probably would have been better off with the other Professor you had," Mya said as Mrs. Twerlany walked over to Harry.
"It is what I've feared Harry, someone close to you will try to kill you and will find success in it, and so I warn you to be careful who you associate with Mr. Potter." She said and walked into her office as the bell rang for lunch.
They watched as Mrs. Twerlany fell into her chair and laid her head on her desk. Mya shook her head, she didn't understand why Dumbledore would want a teacher who didn't know what she was talking about teaching the students. She wonder what her thing with Harry dieing was to, nothing came to mind it was beyond her understanding.
"See what did we tell you she's obsessed with him dieing," Ron said as they left the room.
"I guess your right, but she still shouldn't be able to teach, she doesn't know how at least not the right way." She said as they head to lunch.
"Yes but I don't think he'll fire her again, I don't think she's that bad just likes for me to die...a lot," Harry said dropping his bag outside the great hall.

Draco came back a few minutes later and sat down across from Cherry at the table. He pulled the ring out of the box and handed it to Cherry, watching her. She took it from him slowly and looked at it wonderingly. It was beautiful a silver snake with emerald green eyes, then she handed it back to him.
"What do you think?" he asked taking it.
"It's really nice whose it's for?" she asked.
"You, I want you to wear it, I made it for you after all." He said slipping it on her finger.
"You made it? That's amazing." Cherry said looking at it.
"While were talking and sort of alone, would you want to go out with me?" asked Draco sure about himself.
Cherry's eyes widened was she ready for another boy friend already? Hell yeah she was, and she had little doubt that Draco would ever hurt her.
"Okay, yes...I mean I'd love to." Said Cherry leaning across the table and kissing him on the cheek.
"By the way, how'd you make this ring, its really nice I like it." She said looking at it closer.
"It's just something one of my friends taught me awhile ago. I just added the Malfoy charm to it, it's never failed me before...except maybe that once when I went over to Russia." Draco said taking her hand.
Together they picked up there things and head off to lunch as the bell rang over head. As they walked in the great hall no one seemed to notice them, which was just all as well; Cherry didn't need everyone watching her. They didn't want to put up with anybody asking ridiculous questions. Cherry was suppose to meet Mya but she didn't have time, she was with Draco. As Mya didn't have the time either, she was to busy talking to Ron. Neither one of the girls really seemed to care to much they both had pretty much forgotten about meeting the other one.
