A/N: Before I continue, this has nothing to do with the story but I just thought I'd share that Saturday was the best day of my life! I went to Rock on the Range and I got to see Rise Against, Billy Talent, Rancid, Theory of a Deadman, Hollywood Undead and plenty of other extremely talented bands perform live! If this event ever comes to your city, I HIGHLY recommend going, because it was fucking amazing!!!!
Chapter 4: Ravenclaw Captain gets the last word
I sat at the table, nibbling on some toast with strawberry jelly, still thinking about what Theo said. I don't think anyone had ever said that they loved me, I used to always dream about the day someone would say it but now that it's been said, it almost doesn't feel right.
"Hey Sash. Flitwick give you your timetable yet?" Terry asked as he slid beside me on the bench.
"No, he's still at the front of the table, trying to sort things out with Padma and Christina."
"Why aren't you sitting with them?"
"I don't want them to start asking what's wrong again."
"Well what is wrong?"
"Nothing!" I snapped, Terry holding his hands up, somewhat shocked. "I'm sorry Terry, I just have a lot going on right now." I apologized, feeling terrible for being a bitch.
"How can you already have a lot going on? It's only the second day of school?"
"It's a long story."
"Well I have time."
"Oh look, here comes Flitwick with our schedules!" I exclaimed, relieved that professor Flitwick chose the right time to appear at our sides.
"Ah yes, good morning Miss Granger, Mr Boot. All ready to start classes today?" Professor Flitwick greeted in his squeaky voice.
"As ready as I'll ever be Professor." I grumbled. Terry laughed and Flitwick just shook his head. I love how teachers always expect me to be the overachieving pet that Hermione is but then they find out I'm completely different and as Professor McGonnagal has said, a bad influence.
"Alright, Ms Granger, you have been continued onto Charms, Defense against the Dark Arts, Arithmancy, Transfiguration and Potions. Does that sound about right?"
"Yes professor."
"Alright you may head off to your first class then."
I grabbed my time table, already somewhat liking the sound of it. I had free period, defense against the dark arts, free period, lunch, potions and arithmancy. Every other day I had charms, free period, free period, lunch, transfiguration and another free period. I walked back to the Ravenclaw tower, eager to get in an extra hour's sleep before defense against the dark arts.
"Sash! Wake up! We're late!" Padma yelled, shaking me awake.
"Uh! Late for what?" I grumbled, flipping over onto the other side to block the light with my pillow.
"Defense
against the Dark Arts!"
"Oh shit! Snape teaches that class
now!" I realized. Padma and I grabbed our purses and binders and
quickly booked it down the stairs, running as fast as we could to our
class. We reached the door, just as Snape was walking out to close
the door.
"Well, well, well, looks like we have a few stragglers. Thought you'd upstage Potter huh?" Snape asked, a small smirk appearing on his face.
"Actually Professor, there's no need to upstage, we all know that when it comes down to it, I'm your favorite next to Potter." I replied, returning the smirk.
"Get inside Miss Granger. Twenty points from Ravenclaw!" He said through gritted teeth.
"Ah what's twenty points? We'll earn it back in Quidditch in no time."
"In now!" He shouted.
"Did I mention I'm the Ravenclaw captain this year?"
"GRANGER! FIND YOUR SEAT!" He bellowed, slamming the door behind him. I sat at a table with Terry and Christina. Padma's face was beet red from embarrassment, Terry was trying to not burst out laughing and Christina just gave me a small smile. I looked across the room to Theo who gave me a thumbs up sign, he clearly found my tormenting of Snape amusing.
Defense against the dark arts was so boring, I was so happy when it was done, however I was dreading potions after lunch. I was on my way back to the Ravenclaw tower when someone tapped me on the shoulder. I turn around to see Malfoy, smirking down at me.
"What the hell do you want?"
"So it seems you're the captain for Ravenclaw this year." He replied.
"Why thanks Captain Obvious, I wasn't aware of that!"
"See you on the field." He said, raising his eyebrows, that smirk still glued on his face.
"Oh I will, get ready to have your asses handed to you!" I called after him. Malfoy just turned around, smirking. I swear he is mentally ill. One minute he's being a complete ass and the next he's freakishly stalking me! I so just want to knock him off his broom at the next quidditch match!
