Oh my god! I haven't updated in like 3 years! Sorry to all you peeps who've been following this or any other of my stories… x I'm soo sorry… I just got distracted, then I found a new fandom (Ace Attorney: Phoenix Wright) and then I suddenly hit major exam time and ARGH I'm rambling. Well, here it is. You may not get another one for a while so… SAVOUR IT!

Chapter 11: Illicit relations (*gasp* suspicious sounding, no?)

In last week's episode, we have CONFRONTATION between Lucius and Ed! I wonder who was winning? Will anyone know the outcome of their disagreement? Let us wait and see…

Last time,

"Just because you don't require it doesn't mean you don't want it."

The whole room gasped and then was silent, quietly anticipating what would happen next except for one random Gryffindor girl who sudden crowed, "Ooh… Hot dayyyyymn!"

Lucius spluttered, shocked and mortified by what Ed had implied. "Excuuse me?"

"You're excused. Just don't do it again." With that, Ed turned to Arina, pointedly ignoring Lucius.

"WHAT?"

Ed scowled, incredibly annoyed. "I'm sorry. Did you not hear me? Do I have to repeat myself? Are you deaf as well as dumb? Are you—"

Ed had poured some of his finished potion into a flask and had moved to hand it in to Snape when Lucius, pride dented, grabbed Ed's arm and pulled him back, causing the potion to be spilled all over himself!

The whole room gasped again. Snape ran up to where the accident occurred.

"Everybody stay calm. The person should have a drastic change in behavior—unless the person wasn't straight to begin with, but that isn't likely."

Everyone looked at Lucius and waited.

Lucius blinked—once, twice.

"What are you all staring at me for? I'm perfectly fine," he sneered, "Probably a dud potion. Shows how pathetic your potion-making skills are, Elric."

Everyone's eyes widened by quite a large amount. Absolutely nobody doubted Ed's mad skills so since Lucius was acting the same… Nobody said a word. Except Draco.

"Oh, Arina, my love! Just because my father is that way doesn't mean that I am! Regardless of the weirdo that my father is, will you still love me?"

Arina grimaced. "I never loved you in the first place, Draco."

At this point, Draco's silvery orbs welled up with tears and he ran off, shouting, "Fine! Deny what we shared!"

For the third time that day, everyone in the room went silent.

"Right. Well, class dismissed. 10 points from Gryffindor for being disruptive. Now shoo!"

Being a school, within 5 minutes, everyone knew everything although some people had slightly exaggerated or remixed versions—"No, seriously, Ed opened a can of whoopass on Malfoy and shoved the potion down his throat!"

Ed sighed as he heard the various students gossiping, but he was used to people talking about him and it didn't really bother him. However, it could get a little annoying and he wanted a little peace so he headed over to the library and started to read. He felt a little odd, something like dread filling his mind as if something bad was going to happen, but ignored. It was probably nothing.

Arina looked up at the sky. She and Ginny had been outside, going for a walk together and just chatting about various things. "Hmm… It's going to rain…"

Ginny smiled at her. "Yeah, it really looks like it's going to. We should head back in." The girls jogged over to the castle doors. Arina was laughing at something Ginny had said when suddenly…

"Hmph. Look who it is. Those brats the female Weasel and Elric," a female voice behind them spat. Both girls froze at the sound of the vaguely familiar voice. "It's marvelous that I managed to get both of you at once, you know? The whole killing two birds with one stone thing? You humiliated Drakey and broke his heart, Elric, and the Dark Lord wants me to hurt you, Weasel. Isn't this just perfect then?"

"Okay, Ginny, at the count of three, we stun her and run, okay?" Arina whispered to Ginny, trying not to be seen or heard by the person, but just as Arina spoke, Gnny was hit with a Stunning spell. Arina whipped around to see their attacker.

"You!"

End chapter.

*gasp* Cliffy! Am I terrible or what? Btw, I just realized that the title of the chapter has NOTHING whatsoever to do with the story... Haha. XDDD
