Chapter 4: Worried Friends
Paige went back to the room of requirements after her last class and she just lied on the couch thinking about Tyler and the fun times they had and how much she loved him and what blasé had said and she knew if he was right he would never love her
it was dinner time but she wasn't hungry she hadn't eaten since the morning before they got on the train but she didn't care she went to the Slytherin common room and did exactly what she did last night shower, and cried
Luke and Alex had stolen away her boyfriend, and Tyler had stolen away Draco. Pansy was sitting at the Slytherin table waiting for her friends to come back. She looked around and noticed that Paige was still not around. She gathered some food in a few napkins and stored them in her robes.
she passed Luke, Alex, and Blasé as she left the hall
Pansy: Sorry to interrupt, but i forgot something in my room, I'm going to get it. she said to Blasé
she didn't wait for him to reply before she dashed away to the Slytherin common room.
she crept down the hall to the 5th year girls dorm where she hoped that Paige was. She knew as well as the rest of them that Paige hadn't eaten anything in several days, she was determined to make her eat something. she didn't really care a whole lot about what she was upset about, she figured that if Paige wanted to talk, she'd talk
Pansy: hey Paige, i brought you some food. will you try to eat something?
she just turned around
Paige: go away I'm not hungry
she berried her head in her pillow
Pansy: look, i don't care why you're upset, but you're going to make yourself sick
eat something and I'll let you alone, unlike your friends who seem to want to pester you
Paige: fine
she took the food from pansy
Paige: can i eat alone please
she said weekly
Pansy: I'll be back to make sure you ate it.
she left the room and went back to join her fellow Slytherins at the table so she could eat her own dinner
Paige waited till pansy left
Paige: I'm not hungry
she took the food and put it in the bottom of her trunk covered it with a towel and put a smelling charm on it
Paige: i refuse to eat
she got up and went back to her bed and went to sleep
Blasé saw pansy come back in and sit down
Blaze: hay baby is everything ok?
he said putting his arm around her
Pansy: yeah, everything's fine, i just went to check on Paige. Draco pulled me aside and asked me to help him keep an eye on her. What did Luke and Alex want?
Blaze: i don't know professor Snape wanted to talk to them before they had the chance so is she ok
Pansy: I hope so. what do you mean Professor Snape wanted to talk to them? they were talking to you fir a good five minutes at least. please babe, you can tell me
Blaze: they were just bickering with each other before i asked what they needed and that's when Snape said that they needed to go to there office i promise that's all that happened
Pansy: if you're sure. Well, we should probably eat now, Where's Draco?
Blaze: i don't know
sees Draco come in
Blaize: there he is
Draco: hay guys what's up
he was preoccupied
Pansy: just trying to figure your sister out
Draco got a small smirk
Draco: good luck with that
the smirk went away
Draco: where is she by the way
Blaize: ask pans i haven't seen her since this morning but i hope she is ok
Pansy: i took some food to her, she's probably crying herself to sleep again or something
Draco: i want to know so badly what's wrong with her i hate seeing her like this i think if she is like this for awhile longer i am going to call our parents and have them come here and talk to her your parents to if you don't mind
Pansy: why couldn't they just take her home to your house for a little while? Well, i don't think my parents would mind, i mean she's pretty much my sister,
Draco: because the dark lord is at our house and they don't want her to get you know in trouble and besides you know she loves Hogwarts but i cant stand to see her this way
Pansy: oh. yeah. I'll write to my parents and see
Draco: ok thanks what about you Blaize
Blaize: yay they think of her as there own daughter and i think of her like a sister so yay
Draco: thanks so pansy was she ok when you checked on her
Pansy: yeah, she was crying herself to sleep, but i made her eat so..
Draco: thanks um would it be to much trouble to ask if you go up there and see if she ate
Blaize: i don't mind if you do, if you want to babe
Pansy: i told her I'd come check on her later
Draco: ok thanks
Blaize: your amazing
kisses her temple
Pansy: i love you Blaisy. and Draco, any time. i mean you two have pretty much always been my family
Draco, Blaize: aw pansy we think the same for you
the feast is over
Alex and Luke found themselves surrounded by the Slytherins Alex found Blaize, Pansy, and Draco talking in a group
Alex: hey, Blaize, i was trying to tell you earlier that Paige has been crying non stop ever since she talked to you on the train, what did she talk to you about?
Draco: wait what? she's been crying ever since she talked to Blaize?
Alex: yeah, on the train on the way here
Blaize: i didn't say anything to her
Draco: what did you say to her
Blaize: i didn't i was with pansy the hole time
Pansy: yeah, we were pretty well hidden
Draco: ok to much info. then what are you talking about Alex
Alex: Paige said she needed to go talk to Blaize on the train, ask Harry Ron and Hermione they were there too. when she came back, she pulled me aside and has been crying ever since
Blaize: SHE NEVER TALKED TO ME! FOR GOD SAKES I HAVE AND ALIBYE
Alex: relax, we heard you both
Draco: calm down Blaize well she wouldn't lie so what going on
Alex: i don't know. she said she was with Blaize. I know she wouldn't lie either, and now that you mention it, she didn't say Pansy was with him
Luke: it sounds to me like something strange is going on
Blaize: so what's going on
Draco: i don't know but we need to find out
Pansy: the only thing that comes to my mind would be polyjuice potion
Draco: yay some one could have used polyjuice potion to trick her
Blaize: and that's why she is crying so we need to figure out what they said
Draco: and who said it
Alex looked at Pansy when she'd first suggested Polyjuice potion.
Alex: but who would want to make Paige's life so miserable?
Draco: i don't know
Blaize: every one loves her even if she is a Malfoy
Luke: Have you told Professor Snape?
Draco: about what
Luke: about her being so upset? i think you should also tell him that we're beginning to suspect Polyjuice potion as well. maybe he can help figure it out. after all, he is the potions master
Draco: he saw her this morning we all should go tell him but first we should tell harry and the others i think they could help and all of us will go tell my godfather
Alex: I'll go find Luna and Leona, and Luke you can go find Potter, The Weasleys and Hermione We'll meet you three back here in say ten minutes?
Draco: all right
they all go to find the others
Alex found Luna and Leona with Ginny studying outside taking in the last of the summer air.
Luna: hay Alex
Alex: hey girls, so, I'm sure you know about this whole Paige deal. well, Luke and i were just talking to our fellow Slytherins about this, and Pansy has suggested polyjuice potion. we were going to go talk to Snape, would you join us?
Luna: yay i will what about you to
Ginny and Leona: yeah
Luna: when
Alex: um, right now? we're supposed to meet the group in five minutes in the great hall
While Alex was busy talking to the Lovegood twins and Ginny, Luke found Ron, Hermione, and Harry heading up to their common room
Luke: hey guys wait up
Harry: hay Luke
Hermione: hay
Ron: what's up
Luke: um, well, i kind of wanted to know if you three would join me and Alex, and the Lovegood twins and Ginny and Malfoy, and Blaize and Pansy in going to Professor Snape's office about Paige
Ron: Sorry mate Snape hates us
Luke: this isn't for him, its for Paige
Hermione: yay i will
Harry: i hate him so much but ok only because she is my friend
they look at Ron
Ron: Fine.
he rolled his eyes
Luke: thanks guys, come on, we have to go meet them now
Hermione: thank you Ron
gives him a hug
lets go When Hermione let him go Ron muttered under his breath
Ron: You don't even know
but no one heard him They all headed to the great hall to meet every one else
Draco Blaize and pansy were waiting by the door
Luke: has Alex not come back yet?
Draco: nope not yet
of course, as he said that she, followed by the other three girls walked in at that moment
Blaize: whoa weird
Draco: we ready to go
Alex: yeah, i think so
Harry: yay I'm ready
Draco: alright then lets go
Draco leads the way to Snape's office When they get there, Pansy steps up and knocks on the door
Snape: come in
Pansy: Hi, Professor Snape, a group of... friends... and i would like to speak to you for a moment, are you busy?
she said peeking her head in the door
Snape: come in and what is this about i am a very busy man
Pansy walked into the room followed by the other ten students
Snape: what is this about
he said with an eye brow raised
Draco: its about Paige
Snape's eyes widened
Snape went and closed the door
Snape: have a seat
they all take a seat
Snape: so what is wrong with her
Draco: well we think some one tricked her with polyjuice potion and said something's to make her upset
Snape: i see and how can i help
Alex: well, we were wondering if you could help us figure out who it was that used the potion to get to her, and maybe even figure out how to get her to tell us what's wrong. I'm her BEST friend sir, and she won't even talk to me.
Snape: well i see the only thing i can do is use olcamisy on Paige and i refuse to do that with out her permeation let alone that your father would kill me
Draco: i don't think that's a good idea
Pansy: well, maybe you could write to her parents and see if they'll come get her and take her home until Halloween.
Pansy looked at Draco.
Pansy: "I wrote mum and dad this morning, they said they wouldn't mind, and they'd keep her up to date on her school work
Alex: That's only pushing her away from the problem. i don't think its going to do anything at all.
Snape: that's not such a good idea Pansy but where is she any way
Pansy: still asleep.
Draco: i haven't seen her since yesterday
Alex: where's Tyler? maybe he could talk to her?
Blaize: i haven't seen him either
starts to panic slightly
Blaize: where could he be
Leona: I think i might have seen him when we were outside.
Blaize: oh ok i will check later
Snape: back to the problem at hand i will work on it you all go work on your assignments
Draco: ok but please keep us updated
Snape: of curse now go
they all thank him and they are now leaving
Snape: oh bye the way i tried to talk to her yesterday but i couldn't get any thing out of her
Pansy: i tried to get her to eat last night, but i don't know if she did or not.
Snape: what do you mean eat
Pansy: i took her some food from dinner she hasn't eaten anything since we've been here
Snape: oh well thank you, you may go now
Alex: i don't think that worked out. Well, Blaize, go find Tyler. Pansy, do you think you could go get Paige? i say its time we talk to her ourselves
