Like any other day, after Rosier and his gang had some fun, bullying, Severus Snape when they caught him spending his time with his little mudblood friend, Lily Evans; but Snape easily dodge it and hide somewhere in the dark; and then the little rascals decided to have some fun with Ashika.
It was always like that but they're never got her before.
Today is little different, they have to sacrificed the Quidditch maniac Rowle of all people to caught her off guards and threw some nasty curses to her.
They didn't even pick the Rowle kid after they sacrificed him.
The headboy from Ravenclaw found them later, laying in empty classroom, bleeding pitifully and bring them to the hospital wing. When the professors ask them what happened, the little Rowle says, "we're just fighting over a book."
What a loyal dog you have Rosier.
The proffesor not believing Rowle, as if Rowle of all people fighting over a book, but Ashika just shrugged tiredly not answering. She's not going to sell her house points again but she will get her revenge later. So painfully than hers.
Ashika eyed the blond kid who eating his candies that he got from Rosier, the one who injured his legs, then snorted loudly.
Rowle paused then sneering at her. "What? Jealous? Is there no one visit you here? Not even your pathetic little boyfr-"
"Yes yes, the pathetic little boyfriend is here, do you want some candies too darling?" Damien Parkinson drawled as he walk towards her bed.
Ashika rolled her eyes. "That's disgusting, Parkinson. As disgusting as some loyal dogs who still tried to lick their master's shoes even after the master kick him with that shoes."
Rowle snarled, face almost red as his candy on his hand. "You-!"
"That's enough! No fighting in hospital!" Young Madam Promfey hissed angrily. Pulled the hospital curtain and close it around Rowle's bed.
"You only have ten minutes Mr. Parkinson," she reminds him strictly, then she glanced at her. "You will sleep after this."
"Yes Madam."
Yep, never fighting in hospital, the hospital wing matron is scary woman.
"I got no candies for you darling but I have some dango for you," he says then put a plate of dango on her table.
Ashika snorted and take one dango stick. "Thanks Damien."
Damien sighed then scowled as he stared at her injured legs. "How they got you?"
"They sacrificed Rowle, I saw his legs are bleeding in empty classroom, I thought some students from another house bullied him, but the little rascals hide somewhere and attack me off guards with some curses."
Damien sat on the chair beside her bed and snorted. "It's not like you Ashika."
"It was pitiful sight," she sighed and shook her head. "The kid was bleeding so badly, I had no choice but help him, there was no one passed the corridor at that time."
Damien snatched her dango, she glared at him but he ignored her.
"You must be careful next time will you? Mulciber always scheming something and Rosier will do anything to attack you again after you beat him on charms. It was his only best subject after all."
Damien chewed his dango then continue, "on the latest Yule Ball at Malfoy Manor, his cousin, Bellatrix Black, humiliated him said something about the heir from sacred twenty-eight family just only got second place on his best subject after no name pureblood, you."
Ashika snorted. No name pureblood they said. What will they did if they know she is just only a filthy little mudblood. She was sure Bellatrix will chewed the Rosier heir gleefully.
"You got the books?" Ashika asked him, change the subject.
"Yes, but I cannot take out some books from our library, don't worry though, I wrote some of its content on the notebook," he pulled the dark green notebook from his robes, give it to her. Ashika opened it, then skimming the notebook.
"I also got three books for you on my trunk, I will give it to you later after they move you out from here."
"Wow, thanks Damien," Ashika says gratefully, then snickered when she saw her only friend shifted uncomfortable in his chair. He always not comfortable when someone thanking him as it was something so for foreign for him.
"No problem. You already help me a lot with the practical spells," he says, then hesitantly continue, "my parents are satisfied with my results."
Ashika knew his parents occasionally give him their attention, he is only second son, a spare. Asterion Parkinson, his older brother always drag something about his parents, that they're proud of his results or his position as seeker in Slytherin Quidditch team.
Ashika took his right hand and squeeze it, he twitched and look up to her but didn't retract his hand, Ashika smiled. "You know I heard two days ago on Christmas holiday that Snape and Evans already planning ahead for their potions projects..."
Damien relaxed and never let go of her hand as they talk about their potions projects for the next few minutes.
It was nice evening.
