ch14

Amanda could see Hermione; sitting opposite Harry and Ron.

Hermione was calmly trying to explain a theory while Amanda stood behind, politely waiting for Hermione to finish talking before asking if it was okay to sit next to her. Harry and Ron were looking over Hermione's head at Amanda but Hermione didn't seem to notice.

"You guys she is trying to use you, she is a skanky slut who is a rude, mean, lying, manipulative bitch, who is obviously friends with Malfoy," Hermione paused to see what Ron and Harry were looking at. It was the devil herself, "speaking of the devil," Hermione continued making Harry's and Ron's jaw drop in disbelief.

Amanda retaliated with tears in her eyes, "well I'll take it as a no, for if I can sit next to you, because nobody wants to sit next to a skanky slut who is rude, mean, lying, manipulating and bitchy, now do they?" After retaliating Amanda stormed off closely followed by Harry, Ron, Lavender and Parvarti.

Malfoy smirked from across the room, man she was manipulative. Harry saw his archenemy smirking, but like the rest of the Slytherin's he assumed it was because Amanda was crying.

Harry and Ron stopped following Amanda when she went into a girl's bathroom, Lavender and Parvarti followed her. Amanda ran into a cubical and locked the door behind her, as she could hear two sets of feet behind her.

"Amanda come out, it is just me and Lavender here," Parvarti told her softly.

"Yeah it is just us."

Amanda slowly opened the door, "I'm not a bitch am I?"

"Of course not, Hermione is the bitch she is the one who hit you and talked behind your back!" The pair told her as the each put an arm around her and Lavender handed her a few tissues to wipe away her tears.

"How do I look?"

"Fine."

"Not too blotchy, like I've been crying?"

"Amanda you look perfectly fine, if I didn't know better I would never know you've been crying," Lavender lied.

"Thanks for the help you guys, you didn't have too."

"Sure we did you're new and innocent and this year Hermione is being a right old cow."

Amanda smirked at the thought of Hermione being a cow, which made Parvarti and Lavender smile, "from now on you're going to ignore her okay?"

"Okay."

"She is just bullying you because she is jealous, she would give anything to be like you, to have your brains and your looks."

"Thanks Lavender I feel heaps better."

"Does that mean you're going to ditch Granger and her friends and hang around us?" Parvarti queried.

"Nah Harry and Ron are my friends, I can't just abandon them."

"Speaking of Harry and Ron they are outside waiting for you, you know I think Harry has a bit of a crush on you, but you had better make sure Ginny doesn't find out she will go absolutely hay wire, it's actually really scary how much she likes him."

"Oh yeah I agree with you on that, Ginny won't even go near Harry now that he 'officially' knows she likes him."

Gossip used to be one of Amanda's favourite pass times, before her parent's death, it was so hard not to tell her friends about Draco and Bradley. It stopped being hard when her parents died because Amanda realised it, life, is not a game, and if mistakes are made or secrets are told, people will die as a consequence. Enough people have died at Voldemort's feet, there needn't be anymore dying, unless it was Voldemort himself.

"Yeah well the offer still stands, we'll be happy if you join us."

"Thanks again but had better go talk to Harry and Ron before they get to worried about me," Amanda left the room followed by the other two girls.

"Amanda," said Harry and Ron in unison.

"Hi guys," Amanda greeted them her eyes glistening from unfallen tears.

"I'm fine can we just go back to the common room now, so I can go to my room and get ready for potions?" Amanda asked the four of them, she was keen to get out of their presence and go to potions.

Amanda was looking forwards to Potions for two reasons, the first and most obvious was because Draco was doing potions and secondly Snape was the teacher. Amanda had heard a lot about Snape, from his infamous favouritism, to being in the Order of the Phoenix, and most importantly he is a very faithfully Death Eater who Dumbledore greatly trusts.

Another short chapter, I know. But I wanted to leave you wondering what's going to happen in the Potions class, nothing/something? Have a guess! Also poor Hermione, I'm being a little mean to her, aren't I? Well she's being mean too!
