Chapter 17
There are Plenty of Fish in the Sea…For Duff's Demon Bird to Bite.
There was a lot of Drama in the weeks after Christmas when everyone came back. I've still haven't been talking to Duff, and Pansy still refused to break it off with Draco. My life was a rollercoaster. With not being Duff's best friend anymore, and the guy I liked was dating an increasingly psychotic stalker.
It wasn't long after everyone came back to school when I was pushed back into the boy problem. I was playing the guitar Draco gave me for Christmas first year, cursing Duff for taking the real journal and my only evidence of the Chamber of Secrets to fill my time instead. Draco was up in his dorm, hiding from Pansy (who, like I said before, was becoming very clingy.) and Blaise was off looking for Duff to get her to apologize to me (for some reason, he wanted her and I to become friends again, like that would ever happen!) so, I was in the common room, alone.
But that didn't last long, when someone came down from the boys dorms. It was (fairly obviously) a boy. A boy with straw coloured hair, and what seemed to be green eyes, just like Harry's.
"Hi." the boy said once he came down to the common room.
"Umm…" I said, looking him up and down "do I know you?"
"I'm Nott, Theodore Nott. I'm in your year."
"Oh." I said "Hi, I'm-"
"Hannah Potter." Theodore Nott said sitting on the couch next to me "It's fairly obvious."
I laughed "Yeah. It is."
"So…um…" Theodore Nott stammered. "I was wondering if maybe…"
"Yeah?" I asked, setting my book down.
"Well…I kind of think…you're pretty cute, so…do you maybe…want to go out with me?"
I was taken aback. I was still getting over Draco when some boy I barely knew was asking me out?
But then again…I couldn't dwell on Draco forever, I guess I could become friends with him first.
"Um…ok." I said, after thinking about it.
"Cool." Theodore said leaning in to kiss me.
It was fairly awkward, seeing as Draco was the only boy to ever try and succeed in kissing me.
Sort of thankfully, Duff's owl June flew into the dungeons and started attacking Theodore.
"What the hell!" I yelled out, pulling out my wand "Preficticus Totalus!"
I hit the stupid owl square in the chest and relished in her falling frozen to the floor.
I went back to sit next to Theodore.
"You ok, Theodore?" I asked, checking where June bit him.
"I'm fine, thanks, and call me Theo."
"Ok, Theo it is, then." I said.
Theo smirked and kissed me on the cheek, just as Draco walked in.
"Oh," Draco said "am I walking in on something?"
"Dray!" I yelled surprised. "I-I didn't see you." I added, blushing.
I cant believe that I did that! I just totally gave myself up to another guy! I felt so horrible.
"Well…" I said after a few minutes of awkward silence, picking June up "I'd better go…give Duff back her demon bird." I added, walking out of the common room as fast as I could without it being noticeable.
…
I walked into the Gryffindor common room just as June was coming around from the Body Bind jinx I put on her. I threw the bird at Duff's feet as it regained movement and flew up onto Duff's arm.
"Do the world a huge favour and keep that damn stupid bird away from the dungeons and me!" I snapped as I turned on my heel.
"She's allowed to go where she pleases, Potter. So I wouldn't be talking."
I turned back and glared at that demon bird as Duff petted it. "Why does that stupid bird always come after me and lets you, Ron Harry and Mione pet it?"
Duff continued to stroke it "Because she loves me and I told her not to attack my friends."
I looked at her taken aback, sneering at her and that demon bird "Well," I said, suddenly smirking "I guess that birds and bitches do have favourites." I said, walking out.
