Chapter : Third Year

Screams echoed through the great hall. I ran out with the rest of the crowd, trying to find what was wrong. In the middle of the hall was the group of Slytherin girls who had ganged up on me. But the was something…wrong…with them. One of them had skin the lovely shade of puke green. Another had long gnarly nails that reached the floor. The one that had used the body bind curse on me had long, pointed teeth with an overbite. I could hear her trying to talk but she couldn't, drool running down her chin. Another girl didn't even look like a girl. Her body had literally grown. She was over seven feet tall and her body had bulked up to that of one of those gross muggle body builders. The male ones. That one was particularly funny since she had always ranted about how ugly everyone was compared to her. The last one currently looked like a really, really old woman. The one thing they all had in common was in bright red pimples across each of their faces was the 'bitches'.

Laughter erupted all around me at the prank. I could only stand there stunned as the raced to the hospital wing, crying. Professor McGonagall came out and threatened us all with detention if we didn't all return to the great hall. I walked in, still stunned to see that, of some of the students who hadn't gotten up was Fred and George.

"What did you do?" I hissed as I got over to them.

"Why, whatever are you-"

"Talking about, Jaxon?" Fred finished for George.

"What…How…I don't…." I trailed off, unable to say anything. They're grins just got bigger and bigger, until they were stretched ear to ear. I leaned down and hugged them, my eyes feeling a bit misty. "You guys are the best friends a girl could ever ask for," I said.

"Hey! I totaled didn't have anything to do with it either," I heard from behind me. I turned to see Lee standing there, a shit-eaten grin on his face. I smiled and hugged him too. "Nobody hurts our little Slytherin," he whispered in my ear, laughing. I pulled back, smiling at them, blinking the tears out of my eyes.


I sat in potions on the side of the Gryffindor, watching as the girls from earlier came trudging in, looking far from happy. Madam Pomfrey had been able to help with the, ah, disfigurements, but apparently she was unable to do much about the words across their faces, because I could still see it, even with the concealer they used. I smiled at Hermione, who was trying to muffle her laughter. Snape glared at the for the interruption but said nothing.

"Ms. Jaxon." I jerked my head up at the end of class, surprised that professor Snape wanted to talk to me.

"Yes professor?" everyone stopped, wondering if I was gonna get blamed for the prank, as the word of my ass kicking had spread incredibly fast.

"I heard you ended up in the hospital wing last night. Care to tell me who put you there?" he asked, sounded curiously angry.

"Not really, sir," I said quietly, trying to catch his eyes. I really didn't want to do this again. Professor Snape opened his mouth to say something, but was interrupted by one of the girls.

"Why don't you ever tell anyone!" she yelled, angry. I was confused. Did she want me to tell on her?

"Because I'm not a bitch," I said, playing on the word across her face. "I don't feel the need to get the morons who did this to me in trouble because they're just not worth my time." I said, smiling lightly at them before turning on my heel and stalking out of the room.

"That was bloody amazing!" Ron said as he, Harry, and Hermione caught up with me.

"You should have seen their faces," Harry said, snickering. I couldn't stop the smile that spread across my face.

"I was amazing, wasn't I?" I laughed, feeling giddy. Hermione opened her mouth but before she could we were interrupted.

"Professor, that stupid mud- I mean Green never comes to her common room! She sleeps with the Gryffindor's!" One of the girls said, sneering the word Gryffindor. We all turned to see Snape striding towards us with the five girls behind him.

"Both Professor McGonagall and I are well aware of this. The headmaster has also been notified." He turned around, and I could just imagine the look he was giving them as they immediately backed up a step. "We have all agreed it is best for Ms. Green to spend most of her time with the Gryffindor's," he sneered the word just like they did. Huh, must be a normal Slytherin thing. "You are disgraces to the Slytherin's with the way you have acted, causing me to have to let one of my top students to house with the Gryffindor's." he then whipped around, not looking at me or the trio, and continued to the great hall.

"Did Snape just…" Harry trailed off, shocked into silence.

"Snape… defended me?" I sounded just as shocked as Ron looked. What in the world was happening?


"Are you ever gonna fix their faces?" I asked casually as I tried to beat Fred at chess with George hovering behind me and giving me hints.

"What?" Fred said, looking up from the board to me.

"The ah, the girls who beat me up. The acne. Are you two ever gonna fix it?"

"We can't," George said, sounding distracted.

"What?" I asked, finally looking away from the chess board were I was losing.

"We can't fix it. Only they can." George said.

"It will go away once they apologize, it will go away." Fred said at my confused look. It was quiet for a moment before I burst out laughing.

"You two are mad geniuses," I said, still laughing.

"It gets even worse when one of them starts being a bitch or flirting with someone," Lee said casually as he walked by. "Move your knight to B9," he said to me, continuing to walk away.

"Does it really get worse?" I asked, awe at there spell work in my voice.

"Mmhmm, and don't listen to Lee," George said casually.

I still lost. But I had the best friends. Ever.


This is, so far, one of my favorite chapter. I just love what Lee, Fred, and George do just to protect a third year XD Reeevvvviiieeeeewwwww
