Ch.8
Disclamer: I don't own any Harry Potter People or Places that J. right but I do own my Oc's
As October came in it became damp and chill over the grounds and the castle I started to wear a warm hat as I ran to class. Madam Pomfrey was busy by the cold her Pepperup potion was great in the started but it left the drinker ears to smoke for several hours afterword. Percy forced Ginny to drink some but it made her whole face was on fire. Rain drops about the size of bullets were hitting the windows for day and night, the lake became deeper the flower bed turned into muddy Mimi lake's and Hagrid's pumpkins became the size of a garden sheds. Oliver's enthusiasm could not be broken which was why on one stormy Saturday afternoon a couple of days before Halloween, I found myself covered head to toe in Mud and dirt from Quidditch's practice. From what the Twins had said about Slytherin teams who they were spying on they look like green blurs, shooting through the air like missiles. The girls had pulled me all the way up to Gryffindor Tower.
"Sammy Please take a shower and meet us downstairs." Katie said pushing me into my year bathroom.
"I'm going, I'm going." I said back closing the oak door behind me.
The bathroom was peach walls and white hardware with a shower and a tub. I quickly pulled off my quidditch outfit and turn on the hot water allowing it to clean off the mud and dirt that was all over me and started to clean my hair with a special shampoo that my Mom had send me earlier this day. The Shampoo was made with lavender and aloe. After clean off and step out and walked into my dormitory lucky no one was in there that the time I quietly dry off and pulled on jeans with a baggy t-shirt with black high tops and headed down to the common room where the Girls were waiting for me. "Well?" I asked.
"Sit now," Angelina said "Or else." I sat quickly and Katie quickly started to braid my hair till it was a long single braid.
"There you look much better." Katie said. I was able to sneak away and find Peter, Julia, and Dustin. The rain wasn't let up.
"Hey Guys." I said.
"Sam what happened with your hair?" Dustin asked playing with the few bits that refused to be tame.
"Stop it," I said slapping his hand away allowing my cheeks to turn a little red.
Julia was smirking even if the Boys could not see it I could. I send her a death glace she just smirked. "You guys ready for dinner?"
"Yea, let's headed down together." Peter said pushing himself up and pulling Dustin up.
"Yea let's go together," Julia said pulling me up with her holding me closer to her then normal as we headed down "So went were you going to tell me that you like Dustin?"
"I have no idea what you're talking about." I said back.
"Yea right you're a lair Samantha Sullivan," She said back.
"Fine you got me I like him but please don't say a thing or I'll tell a certain three year Ravenclaw you like him." I said back smirking that her.
"You wouldn't dare?"She question.
"Try me." I said back smirking.
"Fine." Julia said back. The sky over the great hall was a dark gray but with the light from the candles gave the room a creepy look but I like it a lot.
"So why Adam's after you with love in his eyes?" Dustin asked as he pulled roast beef on to his plate.
"The Dude has been in love me for forever I think this I was six," I said back grabbing some mashed potatoes on my own plate. "He thinks I'm his for the rest of my life."
"I feel bad for you Sam," Julia said. "I couldn't deal with that for that for six years." Julia said as she garbing a bun.
"Wasn't grandmother Walburga who promised you to Adam when we were six or seven" Peter said laughing back grabbing his fork and put a piece of his mashed potatoes into his mouth.
"Hey, it not my fault that Psycho is in love with me," I said back laughing "And if I remember you were once promised to what her name Olivia Jennings."
Peter neatly gasped on his potatoes
"You say you would say a thing about it," Peter said gasping as Dustin patted his back "And if you remember Olivia found another future husband and I got off the hook not like you." "Mom said I could marry who I wanted to and not be forced into an arranged marriage Pete," I said back hitting my roast beef with anger.
"Calm down Sam you'll be fine; allow your heart to find the right person." Dustin said putting his hand on my hand. I feel my face blushing up that could rival a cherry.
I could hear Julia laughed a little under her breath.
"Hey break that up!" I heard and turn to see the Twins.
"Not again," I whisper under my breath. "Sorry." I mouthed to Dustin he smiled back that me and pulled my hand back from his. The Twins came into view and grab each of my arms.
"Sam we to talk now." Fred said pulling me with the help of George out the great hall.
"Ok what is it?" I asked as I got control of my arms back.
"You need to stay away from that Dustin boy Sammy," George said. "We need you to be ready for the match soon."
"God, you Guys need to get a life and you're supported to be watching over Ginny you don't want a little Percy running around do you?"I asked smirking.
"Damn Fred she is right there we don't want a little Percy but we can work that out later but you're important to us also." George said.
"If you care please give me a little space and please watch over a first year Hufflepuff by the name of Alana Fall" I said back.
"Fine," Fred said "But if that Dustin boy does anything to hurt you Sammy he'll be dead and that go was Ryan Adam too."
As Halloween had arrived Julia wouldn't stop teasing me about Dustin.
"You really like him don't you?" She asked.
As we headed down to the common room.
"Yea I really do please don't say anything please Jul," I said. "If my cousins find out it would be dead of me and Dustin."
"You're secret is safe with me Sammy" Julia said back.
"Hey only the Twins are allowed to called me Sammy, Julia" I said growled back. I disappeared for a few minutes to see Peter and then walked quietly behind Julia. "Boo!" I yelled making Julia jump a good few feet.
"You're so dead Sam." Julia growled out and started to run after me.
"Save me." I whisper hiding behind Harry.
"Julia let's not kill her till after the quidditch season then you can kill her." Oliver said coming to my rescue.
"Fine," Julia said. "Till then Sam."
"Thank you, Thank you, Oliver." I said hugging him.
"Sam-" Oliver gasped out. "Air"
"Right, sorry" I said back breaking off.
"Sam you coming or not?" Julia asked. "Yea I'm coming!" I yelled back.
"See you Guys down." I said.
The Halloween feast was beautiful with the hundreds of Candles and Pumpkins floating around the tables were covered in everything from roast beef to candy corn. Julia had gotten her revenge by making me sit across from Dustin the whole time I was fighting a blush which was failing horrible.
"Are you ok Sam?" Dustin asked putting his hand over mine.
"I'm fine" I whisper the blushed became more seen I look more like a cherry then a witch. As we headed back to Gryffindor tower Dustin put his hand in mine I started to blushed more. "Are you ok Sam?" He asked again.
"Yea I fine," I said back still blushing. A group of Ravenclaw were ahead of us had stop suddenly causing us to walk right into them and shoot me on too my back. "Hey," I growled out my left hand started to glow. "No," I whisper "Get back control. Counted back from ten," the glow started too disappeared "Thank god." I then saw it written on the wall in red blood "The chamber of secrets has been opened. Enemies of the heir beware."
"Enemies of the Heir beware! You'll be next Mudblood's!" Malfoy yelled out.
Tell me what you think but be nice about it.
