Chapter Eight
"Wuzzgoinon?" Mel asked, shielding her eyes against the harsly bright sunlight. "Come on, get up, get up!" Padma Patil's voice came impatiently. Blinking about eight times,Mel could finally see. "What's going on?"she repeated.
Padma was tapping her foot impatiently on the floor. She was already fully dressed and had her arms crossed over her chest. "All the Heads of Houses want to speak to their students today. Come on, get up!" Padma added, noticing Mel was starting to fall asleep again. Grudgingly, she pulled herself out of bed and got dressed.
In the common room, they ran into none other than Luna Lovegood.
"Hello" she said dreamily.
"Uh, hi" Mel said awkwardly. Padma was in a fit of silent giggles, for Luna was wearing that absurd hat that had a cawing raven on it.
Pushing Padma into the hall, Mel let suppressed giggles escape. When she could finally breath again, Padma and Mel headed into the Great Hall. In the Entrance Hall, Mel ran into her boyfriend, Justin Finch-Fletchley.
"Hey, Mel!" Justin called and waved Mel over.
"Hey" Mel came over, Padma waving goodbye, and looked around.
"How are you?" Mel asked, giving Justin a quick hug.
"Spectacular. Good summer?"
"Fair. We ought to get in there, here comes McGonagall." Mel gestured somewhere behind Justin. Sure enough, McGonagall was hurrying toward them, looking flustered. She shooed them into the Great Hall. Mel and Justin said goodbye and headed to their house tables.
Professor Flitwick was standing at the edge of the table.
"Okay, quiet down!" Professor Flitwick squeaked. Professors Sprout, Slughorn, and McGonagall seemed to have done the same thing, for the Great Hall suddenly became quiet.
"All Ravenclaws will follow me to one of the Dungons downstairs." Flitwick squeaked. All the Ravenclaws got up and headed out of the Great Hall.
"How's classes?" Harry asked in the library, later that day. Mel looked up, taken aback. "What do you think?" she retorted, bowing her head over her parchment. Harry shook his head. Mel knew she was being silly but she was still a little surprised about Justin yesterday. Her mind wasn't in the right place.
Mel dropped a book and turned to pick it up. Someone made a fake cough from behind a book shelf. Harry sighed. "Ron, why are you hiding behind a bookshelf?" Harry asked incredulously. Ron came out from behind the bookshelf. Mel sat up straight. "Heya Ron," she said, grinning at him. Harry rolled his eyes.
Mel accidentally knocked over her Potions book again. Ducking under the table to get it, she saw a flesh colored string. She pulled it towards her and whispered, "You can come out now". A shocked looking Ginny came from behind another bookshelf seconds after Mel came back up.
"How- but-" Ginny sputtered, holding the flesh colored string. "Using Extendable Ears again, Ginny?" Ron said in a mock scolding voice. "Lucky for you I won't deduct any points." Ginny stuck out her tounge at her.
Mel leaned back in her chair and dipped her quill in the ink jar. She started working on her Potions essay. "The Uses of a Bezor" was scrawled on the top of her parchment. Quite suddenly, she slammed down her quill in frustration. Everyone turned to look at her.
"I'm going back to my common room, I'll see you all later" she mumbled, and shoved her stuff back into her bag.
Unfortunately, Mel ran into Malfoy around the corner. "Great, I'm having a bad day and now I have to deal with a greaseball like you" she hissed. Malfoy seemed please. "But darling, I never did anything to you" he said, grinning mischeviously at her.
Mel was disgusted and pulled her wand out on him. "Petrificus Totalus" she whispered and Malfoys arms and legs snapped together, causing him to tetter dangerously, then fall backwards against the wall. Mel smirked.
"Not so strong now, are you?" Mel murmered, putting her wand back in the pocket of her robes and walking past him.
Professor Slughorn came ambling past them, though. "Miss. Righ, I am very disappointed in you. 10 points from Ravenclaw." and shaking his head, he turned around and left the way he came. "I'll be in the library if you need me, Malfoy."
Still smirking, Mel headed back into the library. Padma pulled her into a row of books. "What," she demanded. Padma pointed at a table nearby, where Justin was sitting with a girl he didn't know, snogging.
Mel was gaping at them. She started to head over to them, but Padma held her back. "Let me by, I'll jinx him and he'll never snog again!" Mel whispered angrily. Finally, Mel turned and stalked off back to her table, which Hermione had joined. Looking furious, she slammed her books down and crossed her arms.
"What happened?" Ginny asked, looking anxious. Mel was trembling with anger. She jabbed a finger behind her, towards Justin's table. Ginny nodded. Mel pulled out her Potions homework again, but was barely focused on it.
"I saw you, Padma saw you, Justin, don't lie to me!" Mel yelled in the hallway, an hour later. They were in the Entrance Hall while students were heading in for dinner. "I don't know what you're talking about" Justin said in what he hoped was a calm voice.
"The hell you don't! Do not lie to me! Ginny, Ron, Harry, Hermione, Padma, and I all saw you! Half the school proabaly saw you!" Mel was shaking in anger again. "Just forget it, you can forget Hogsmeade!" And with that, Mel stormed off into the Great Hall.
Shaking, she turned to Padma. "We broke up" she whispered. Padma patted her on the shoulder. Mel ate quickly, then got up to return to the library. To her displeasure, so did Justin. He cought up with her halfway up the marble stair case.
"Can't we just talk this over?"
"No, I know what I saw Justin, don't even try to lie to me". She made a sudden movement as to reach for her wand, but then decided against it. Instead she reached out and slapped him across the face.
"But- I- but-" Justin sputtered. Mel shook her head and turned into the library.
Justin called after her "You're just a fiflthy whore!"
Mel stopped and turned. She was laughing. "I'm a whore. Yet you were the one who was snogging with some other girl who is probably a second year in the library," Mel muttered. She glared at him. "Justin, for the second time, it's over. Goodbye." She sat down at a table in the back, where she tried, for the third time, to do her potions homework. She was joined shortly thereafter by Ginny, Hermione, and Padma.
"He- he- he..." but Mel's voice broke and she started to cry.
Padma gave her a hug, but Mel had tears rolling down her face. She pulled her stuff back into her bag and headed back into the common room.
Padma followed her. Not stopping, she headed into the dormitory, and fell asleep.
