Warm sunlight hit your face and you slowly open your eyes. You are in the hospital wing. You sit up and look around. Snape was asleep in another bed on the other side of the room. He had bandages on. You look down at yourself, you had bandages on also. You sigh and lean back against the pillow as you remember what had happened. "How could I be so brainless? What were those things?" you ask yourself.
"Ada! You're up!" Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Ace said walking into the hospital wing and around your bed.
"We were so worried!"
"Ya, what happened?"
"I was just out for a walk, by the forest, when Professor Snape found me and…"
"Did he ATTACK you?"
"Did you dual?"
"No, he wanted to talk to me about… class." You chose not to tell the truth about what Snape had said to you. "Then these unusual creatures attacked us."
"What kind of creatures?" asked Hermione.
"I don't know, and Snape didn't either. And spells didn't affect them at all. We couldn't stop them. We were HELPLESS!!"
"Stay here! I'm going to the library!!" Hermione said as she ran out of the room.
"Library? Why now?"
"You should know Hermione by now, Ron! She can't stand not knowing something." You all start laughing but you stopped from the pain it caused.
"Okay, you three, you should get out so I can do my job, don't you have a class?"
"Fine Madam Pomfry, we'll go."
"Can't I go to?"
"Don't be ridicules! Here, drink this." She hands you a glass with a dark purple potion inside and you drink it. "What I want to know is what attacked you. Then maybe I could heal you faster."
"Has Snape woken up at all yet?"
"No,"
At that moment, Dumbledore walked in and asked to speak with you alone. "Ada, What happened? Did you or Snape send the owl?"
"What?"
"I was in my office when an owl flew in and the letter said that something odd was going on down by the forest. So I went to see what it was."
"How did you defeat the, what ever the creatures are?"
"Magic didn't work, so I had Hagred get his brother to chase them off. What were you doing?"
"We were talking, what were those things?"
"I don't know. And Hagrid said he didn't either .But oddly enough, he said they were cute."
" Cute? Is he mad? I want to get out of this bed."
"I'll try to arrange it, but you know how she can get."
After finally getting out of the hospital wing, you, Ace, Hermione, Harry, and Ron went down to the lakeside. "I can't find anything on the creatures that attacked you!"
"Snape is still in the hospital wing." You sigh.
"So? That means a sub in potions!!"
"Hey, remember Harry, Not all of us are in that class anymore."
"Don't rub it in Ron!"
"I feel sorry for Snape. That's all."
"Why Ada? You hate his class too, and you have three potion classes!!"
"Well, he DID try to save me."
"Ya, he tried to save Harry to, because he felt he owed something cuz Harry's dad saved him as a kid."
"Ya, so either he was trying to do the same thing there, maybe he owed your parents something. Or, he was just doing the responsible thing, being a teacher and everything."
:Ada, they let you out of the hospital wing?:
:Get out Draco.:
:Are you in a bad mood or something?:
:OUT!!:
:You mad at me?:
:Well done Sherlock! Did you figure that out yourself or did your mommy tell you?:
:What?:
:I asked you for help and you didn't respond!:
:Oh, ya? Well, who do you think sent that warning to Dumbledore? I heard you but I didn't have time to say anything!! What happened anyway?:
:Don't ask. I'll tell you later.:
"Ada? You with us?"
"Hu?"
"We asked you- Oh, speak of the Devil, and you'll get him."
"What? Ace what are you even talking about?!!"
"Malfoy." She pointed at Draco as he strolled over towards you.
:Draco…:
"What do you want Malfoy?"
"Why no bodyguards?"
"Shut up!"
"Did we hit Malfoy's soft spot?" Hermione asked as if she was talking to a baby.
Draco started to get angry and you saw it. "Hermione,"
"Why don't you go cry in the corner and…"
"Hermione, stop…"
"SHUT UP you filthy little mud-blood! I'm here to-"
Ace jumped up, wand raised, "RESPECTO-ESCALIBER!!!!!!" A light blue light exploded from her wand and hit Draco throwing him to the ground.
Draco got up and glared at Ace. "Why you little… Wonderful excuse of a witch! And I'm going to Professor McGonagall to tell her of your painful curse." He got up and ran away.
"What was that?"
"A curse, he can only say respectful things. Well, I guess I should go take my punishment, see ya."
"Hold
Up! I'll come!" you volunteer and follow her to the castle.
In
McGonagall's office, After Draco kindly said what happened,
McGonagall turned to Ace. "What spell? And how long will it
last?"
"The respecto-escaliber spell, it forces him to be kind and respectful. And it will last until its countered."
"Than I suggest you kindly counter it." Draco glared.
"Mr.Malfoy's right, take it off him."
"I can't."
"WHAT?!!"
"The only way to counter it is if Malfoy Says something kind and respectful he actually MEANS!"
"What did he do to make you curse him?"
"He called Miss Grainger a…"
"A what?"
"He called her a mud-blood."
"WHAT!! You girls can go, Mr. Malfoy…"
You leave.
A week later, in care for magical creatures class, everyone was put into partners, Harry and Ron, Hermione and Ace, but you got stuck with the still cursed Draco. Each group was sent to a different section of the forest behind Hagred's hut, to care for a random creature. "Ada, I've been meaning to tell you something."
"Ya?"
"You are the most bloody beautiful girl I have ever seen!"
You start laughing, "It's the spell talking isn't it?!"
"No, It's truth!!"
"Come on Draco! It's the spell."
Draco grabbed you," No, you just shut your stupid mouth, and…" At that moment you realized he told the truth and broke the spell, you stood there stunned as he pulled you to him and softly placed his lips against yours, Draco held you firmly but gently to him. You were so shocked you couldn't move. That once everything caught up to you and you realized what was happening, you started to push away when a odd feeling washed over you, you slowly slid your arms around him and started to kiss him back. Suddenly you felt something happen, You felt yourself getting stronger and more powerful, Draco must have felt it to because he paused and pulled away a bit.
"Did you feel that?"
"The odd feeling of more power rushing into my body?"
"Ya."
"Do you know what it means?" Asked Draco.
"Nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnooo, can't say I do."
"My father told me that every wizard has a true love, and if he, or her is lucky enough to find there true love, in sharing a, the first kiss, there powers will become more powerful and stronger."
"That means, that-that,"
"We ARE supposed to be together!"
"I-I, are you sure?"
"Yes,"
"Look, there's the thing we have to care for, for our test."
Draco gowned, "Out of all the things we have learned about, we get stuck with a Fwooper!" The vivid bright lime green plumaged bird from Africa Sat on a branch above you. It coked its head and began to sing it's song.
"Quick! Cover your ears before its song drives you insane!!" you shout. At that moment, three more fwoopers landed on the branch and joined the song. "I've had enough!" you say as you cast a hearing spell on Draco and yourself so you couldn't hear anything. Draco took his hands away from his ears and mouthed something. :Draco, I can't hear you that way anymore!:
:Oh, ya, I said thanks. GOD! Did Hagred have to get so many?:
:He had to get one of each color, look. Lime green, yellow, pink, and orange.:
:Why didn't you put a silencing charm in them?:
:Hagrid'll kill me, he calls it inhumane.:
:Making us listen to four of those things is inhumane!!:
:Come on, let's get to work.:
After class, you are with all your friends in the library. "I feel so sorry for you, being stuck with Malfoy like that."
"Hey, at least he had that curse I had put on him."
"Actually, he didn't."
"Really?"
"Ya, and the creatures we had gotten were worse than him."
"So, what creature did you have?"
"Harry and I had a Billywig, and it stung me!"
"Why aren't you hovering?"
"I am, but I got a potion to make it less extreme."
"Hermione and I got a unicorn and it's foal. What did you get?"
"A fwooper, four of them."
"And you didn't lose your mind with the song?"
"I used a hearing charm. I.. what was I saying?"
"is something on your mind, Ada? You've been kind of out of it all day."
"Have any of you heard about every witch and wizard having a sole-mate, true love and when they kiss, there powers get stronger?"
"No,"
"I have, I read about it. It is really hard to find your true love so most people don't try, often the few who are lucky enough, well, there parents, for one, mostly the girls, had found and married there true love, but it is the guy who makes the first move. I have the book right hear and you can... why do you ask?" Hermione asked, eyebrows raised.
"Oh, no reason, I just herd about it."
At that moment, there was a loud crash and bookcases started falling over. After everything had settled, Neville was standing; he was looking at his wand. "Hey, way to go Longbodome!" someone shouted.
Ace, Harry, Ron, Hermione, and you run over to him. "What happened?"
"There wa-was a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a D-d-doxy, it tried to bite me so I did the first thing I could think of!"
"What was that?"
"I used a spell, but as usual, it blue up in my face."
"Or more like the BOOK'S faces."
"RON!"
"We'll help you clean this up."
"Thanks, oh, did you hear? Snape's out of the hospital wing and will be teaching again, why can't he stay there all year?"
