Chapter 3
The next day Violette sat at the table while timetables were being handed out. When she got hers her face fell when she saw that she had most of her lessons with the Slytherins. She looked over at Luna's to make sure there had not been a mistake but it was the same on Luna's. Violette sighed and put her timetable to one side so she could pour cornflakes into her bowl. After breakfast they went to their first lesson which was Transfiguration and sadly they had it with the Slytherins. Violette and Luna sat with Padma Patil and Sarah Fawcett, friends of their's. There were two more seats left on the rectangular table they had sat at. Professor McGonagall was about to start teaching when the door opened and Draco Malfoy and another boy, named Theodore Nott, walked into the classroom.
"Your late boys. You'll have you sit on that table there." McGonagall said pointing at Violette's table. Violette closed her eyes and sighed as Draco sat in the seat closest to her. Sarah was staring at Draco with a smile on her face. Violette knew that Sarah was another girl to have fallen for Draco's good-looks. Violette leant back in her chair, to get a better look at the blackboard and listened to what McGonagall was saying.
"Today we will learn a new spell, the Duro Spell. This spell is used to make objects into stone," the Professor said while putting a book on each of the students' desks.
"The name of the spell, Duro, is Latin for I harden or I stiffen. The purpose of the spell is usually to hide an object, or an alternative of destroying it. It's easier to cast the Duro Spell on objects that are already a bit hard, for example wood. It would be more difficult to do it on fluids, or other soft items.
As I said, the spell turns object into stone. This can only be used on inanimate objects, and it won't turn back to its original form on its own over time. Now let's get started. I want you all to practise turning the books in front of you to stone." She said and the class got to work following the instructions on the blackboard. It was a hard spell and by the end of the lesson only one person had managed to complete the transformation completely. Violette looked at her book which had gone a slight grey-ish colour and smiled.
"I'm going to have to practise that one." Violette said to Luna as they walked down the corridor.
"Me too." Luna nodded in agreement.
The rest of the week dragged on until at last it was the weekend. Violette and Luna went outside as it was a warm day. They were sitting on the grass talking and Luna was attracting some very strange looks as she was talking loudly about Crumple-Horned Snorkacks again.
"So, Violette," came the voice of Draco from behind her. He walked up and sat next to her. "Fancy ditching Loony and coming sitting with us?" He asked.
"Not really, no." Violette said.
"Why are you avoiding me?" He asked putting his head on one side.
"Because you're a bully and she doesn't really like you." Luna butted in. She had been standing on her head leaning against the tree, and she flipped back over and talked like nothing had happened. Draco ignored her and continued talking to Violette.
"So, I'm impressed by the amount of time your being able to resist my charm." he said smirking. That's what you think, Violette thought.
"Yeah? Well, clever girls don't fall that easily." She lied.
"Really? And your a clever girl are you?" Draco teased. "But of course you are! Your in Ravenclaw, aren't you." He started moving closer towards her. Violette froze, intrigued to know what he was going to do next. "I think you already have fallen for me." He said, his face so close to hers. Draco moved forwards and kissed her. Violette was still frozen in shock and when he stopped stared at him.
"I'll see you around." He said and he stood up and walked away.
"Did he kiss you?" Luna asked. Apparently she has not been watching.
