NICE GUYS 5
Hellooo my lovelies (: How are you all? I know I must be doing something right, (right?) because people have added to me their favorite stories. I always get so happy when I get an email about that. I don't mind if I get reviews but they are appreciated and I read them all (:
"Good night, Abby"…"…Abby"..."Abby…"
I've never heard Mal—Draco call me by my first name, except the first day of Hogwarts. I stood in front of the Fat Lady in shock as I rubbed my eyes again.
"Fortuna Major…" I mumbled and yawned. (The password may be wrong. Correct me if I am but it's the only one I remembered :D)
The Lady woke up with a startle and mumbled a lot of nonsense.
"Abbigal! What are you doing up at these hours?" The Fat Lady was outraged in whispers.
"Fortuna Major" I repeated. She sighed and opened the door to the common room. I walked in and looked up towards the girls' dormitories and back down at the couch in the common room. I took off my robe and was left in my t-shirt and black pants. I lay down on the couch and pulled my robe over past my nose and fell asleep instantly.
- LATER -
"Abby! Wake up!" I heard a panicked voice yell at me and a pair of hands shake me awake. "Abby!"
I opened my eyes to see Ginny looking panicked.
"Where were you last night?" She began questioning me and I pushed my robe away to my feet. I sat up and put my feet on the ground and leaned back. Ginny sat down next to me and kept staring at me.
"I was put in the Room of Requirement last night and just got out at 3...4 in the morning. I can't remember." I put my hands behind my head and looked up at the dormitories.
"Who put you in there?" Concern filled her voice and her eyes were scared.
"No one, I got stuck in there. Don't worry its fine now." I used my hands and pushed me up from the couch. I grabbed my robe and walked upstairs. I could hear her mumble to herself and I smiled. Everyone was still asleep, as it was still sort of early on a Saturday morning, so I was free to take a shower. I brought clothes into the bathroom and got ready for the day.
Once finished, Ron and Fred were up and in the common room, still in Pajamas. I checked the clock and saw it was 8 AM. I was confused and walked downstairs and sat next to Ron. Ginny was back upstairs. I laid my head on Ron's shoulder and rubbed my eyes. I hate mornings.
"Ginny told us where you were last night. Luv, can you please tell me who put you in there?" Fred instantly just watched me. I sighed and looked at the floor.
"Crabbe and Goyle were told to put me in there." I confessed and messed with my fingers, twisting them and twiddling my thumbs.
"By Malfoy?" Ron moved his head to look at me.
"Yeah. He put a spell on the door so I couldn't get out."
"Why didn't you tell Ginny?" Fred asked me.
"I knew she would over react…"
"And now Malfoy is going to pay. Breakfast starts soon and he better know what's coming towards him." Fred stood up and walked upstairs, I'm guessing to go tell Harry, and I sat up to allow Ron to go follow him. Once I was alone I got up to head to breakfast.
I looked down at my blue converse and just walked with a blank mind. I wasn't thinking anything. I still couldn't figure out why Malfo—Draco now I guess—called me by my first name. It was always either blood-trader, mudblood (he said I might as well be one), Potter, or Potty (which was annoying). I began to rub my neck mindlessly and I looked up and saw the doors open. There were a few people in and I saw Luna. I instantly smiled and went to go sit next to her.
"Hello Abby." Luna's voice rung out and I smiled.
"Hi Luna, how are you today?" I sat on the bench next to her. Everyone else in Ravenclaw were scattered away from her. Luna was my best friend, and I loved being around her.
"I'm excellent, how are you?" She smiled.
I sighed. "I've been better."
"How so?"
"It's a long story. I'll tell you another time, okay?" I forced a smile but she genuinely smiled and nodded at me. I looked back at the door to see Harry come in, looking furious. I mumbled 'uh oh' and hid my face behind my hair.
"Hi Harry." Luna greeted him.
"Hello. May I speak to Abbigal?" Harry's voice was strained. He never used my full name.
"Of course." Luna nodded. I sighed and got up to follow Harry to the Gryffindor table. He sat down and I sat across from him.
"What's up bro, how'd you sleep?" I smiled and tried to keep the conversation light.
"Abbigal why didn't you come upstairs to tell me why you came in late last night?" Harry sounded concerned. I rested my head on my hand and stared at the door. "You can tell me anything, we're siblings. We're best friends."
"I know we are, but I knew you would flip out so I didn't tell you. I love you Harry you know, but I took no damage from what happened, just a bit of sleep. I'm fine." I tried reassuring him. He looked back at the door and when he did Draco himself walked in with Crabbe and Goyle at his side. I sighed and looked down at the table. I saw Harry's hands clench in a fist.
"Calm down." I whispered and took a bagel from a platter. I took some cream cheese and began making it.
"I can't and won't." He responded instantly. I sighed and began to eat. The Great Hall was nearly full and I knew classes started soon. Fred, George, Ron, Hermione, and Ginny walked in and all sat around us two. Ron began stuffing his face, of course, and everyone else just ate normally. Professor McGonagall walked around handing out schedules. I looked over my schedule and looked at Harry. I switched papers with him and looked through his. We had all the same classes, except for DADA, (which I had with Slytherins). I sighed and put down Harry's paper and pushed it towards him.
"Well having a class with all Slytherins can't be…that bad?" He smiled. I glared at him.
"It'll be terrible, I'm not even sure that any other Gryffindors will be with me." I pushed my paper towards Hermione and took hers. We had one class together. I sighed and checked Ron's, and he had the same schedule as Harry. I began to pick at the bagel I made and stared at my schedule. I read over the paper again.
POTIONS
HERBOLOGY
TRANSFIGURATION
DEFENSE AGAINST THE DARK ARTS (with Slytherin)
-FREE CLASS—
HISTORY OF MAGIC
ASTRONOMY
CHARMS
I didn't think my schedule was that bad, I just did not want a class with Malfoy. He confused me to no end which I didn't enjoy. I leaned my head on Fred's shoulder and yawned. He laughed.
"Luv, you need sleep." Fred laughed. I sighed.
"Classes start today. I'll be fine" I kept picking at my bagel and ate half of it until putting it down on my plate. Ron grabbed the bagel and ate the rest. The food disappeared from the tables and I stood up. I stretched my back and arms and picked up my schedule.
"See you two later." I hugged Fred and George and walked with Harry, Ron, and surprisingly Hermione disappeared, to Potions with Slytherins. I didn't mind having a class down in the dungeons as long as I knew someone with me. I looked out the windows and saw rain. I sighed. Once we were underground, the rain was slightly quieter but still noticeable. We all stood around a table with three caldrons. I took out my potions book from my backpack.
I sighed and looked around. A few Slytherins were already here, but when I turned to the door I saw Malfoy and his crew walk in. Pansy was glued to this side. Once he walked in Harry tensed. He glared at Crabbe, Goyle, and Malfoy. I put my hand over his fist and stared at him. Ron just glared at Malfoy for a bit and looked down at his book. I rolled my eyes and skimmed through the book. Professor Snape walked in the class and called for everyone to sit down. The Slytherins all took their seats.
I looked around to see Neville Longbottom hiding his face. I smiled. Now I knew there were four Gryffindors in Potions. Wonderful.
I sighed and looked over at Professor Snape as he started teaching. I didn't listen to what he was saying and was surprised when I saw Professor Snape tap his wand on the board next to him. Under the ingredients was a timer, ticking down from 45 minutes. Harry went to get the ingredients and I stared blankly at the cauldron. I looked over at Ron.
"What are we making?"
"Felix Felicis. Don't know how he expects us to make it…difficult it is." Ron sighed and looked at Harry who was walking back. Harry gave us what we needed and I started.
I read from the book, Ron and Harry didn't have a book, and was instantly confused. I sighed.
"I'm already confused…" I mumbled to myself feeling ridiculous. Harry smiled but wasn't as confused. He started putting in ingredients and stirring. I read the instructions, followed exactly, but when I stirred, Professor Snape was watching me. I stirred three times, and it exploded on Professor Snape. I jumped back, scared from the noise. Harry jumped a bit and looked over at me, while Ron tried not to laugh.
"Week worth of detention for you, Miss. Potter. And 25 points from Gryffindor." Professor Snape said with no emotion what so ever.
"Yes sir Professor…" I nodded. I couldn't talk back today.
-After class-
"Abby you look terrible." Ron said from my left. Harry agreed to my right.
"Well thank you, that's what everyone wants to be told." I rolled my eyes and laughed a bit.
"Why don't you go back to the dorm and sleep? We'll tell the teachers that you're sick." Harry put an arm around my shoulders. I sighed and nodded. I gave both of them a hug and went back upstairs to sleep.
-After sleeping :D—
I woke up at the end of third hour, beginning of forth. I smiled feeling much more rested. I quickly got dressed and ready for the class with the Slytherins. I ran out of the common room and down the seven floors. I pulled on my robe while winding in between students switching class.
I ran down to the dungeons and into a room with a pink back wall. I stopped dead in my tracks and looked around. Half the class was there already, but I was in complete shock. The lady in the front was Dolores Umbridge; she was in Harry and I's Hearing. (I MISSED THIS D: I forgot to write this…sorry again ): )
I sat in the back of the class and just stared at the pink wall, which I almost wanted to laugh at. The wall matched "Professor's" shirt and dress. The rest of the Slytherin came in after me. They all sat as far away from me as possible, the closest one being Dralfoy. (I'm not sure what to call him any more) She began teaching.
(This won't be the same as the books, books aren't next to me. They're in the other room and its 2:46 in the morning...)
"Hello class. My name is Professor Umbridge, and I expect everyone to take a seat in the desk that's the closest to the front that's available." Umbridge looked at me while pacing in the front. I sighed and grabbed my book and sat in the desk behind Dralfoy. Umbridge nodded.
"Our objectives in this class are on your desk." She flicked her wand in the air and parchments appeared in front of us. I looked at it and saw nowhere on the parchment about actually practicing the spells. I raised my hand.
"Yes, Miss. Potter?" Umbridge asked in her sickly sweet voice.
"I don't see anywhere on this about practicing the spells." I said quietly, I already got her mad once and didn't want it to happen again.
"Why would we need to practice? Who would want to hurt innocent children?" She smiled. I lost it.
"Oh, I don't know, maybe Voldemort?" I saw out of the corner of my eye most of the Slytherins tense up and look away.
Umbridge sighed. "Miss Potter, what you saw in that maze, is a lie. There was nothing there."
I stood up and pushed my chair back. I almost yelled, "Then how to do explain Cedric Diggory's death?"
She smiled. "A coincidence."
"Cedric Diggory died at the hand of Voldemort! I watched him die from an Unforgivable Curse!"
"Lies, detention tomorrow, Miss. Potter, for a week." Umbridge motioned for me to sit down. I stubbornly sat down and crossed my arms over my chest. I realized I had to do something about this. I have detention with Professor Snape tonight and a week of detention with Umbridge. I uncrossed my arms and leaned my head on my hands.
The Slytherins that were tense before started to relax from hearing Voldemort's name. I took nothing of it and just started to day dream.
-After class :D—
I met up with Harry and Ron while Hermione still had a class. We met in the library. I had gone around to the classes I missed and had work to do.
"How is everyone on detention?" I asked while writing.
"One detention from Umbridge tonight." Harry answered sighing.
"Not yet." Ron answered happily.
"Well, I have that one day with Snape and a week with Umbridge."
"How?" Harry asked in horror.
"I got her mad." I said simply and Harry laughed.
"Me too."
"Well no wonder you two are siblings…always getting into trouble." Ron laughed and I smiled.
A/N: Hi (: I love shark week and I've been watching it all week. Sharks are just so interesting and they don't mean any harm… (: Any way, I'm hoping to get these out more often, but school is starting in..9 days o.o
Draco POV next time? Yes? No? I haven't written a word of it yet so… You people give me a goal for what should happen in the next chapter. Writers block is fun? No.
