Drama= SoML- Story of My Life
Disclaimer: I do not own anything you may recognized
Oof! My head slammed into the wall behind me. That was going to leave a mark, and because of it he is now going to die. Yep, I Bellina Black am about to blast James Sirius Potter's ass into next Tuesday.
Potter stood across the corridor from me, a smirk on his face and his wand extended. Merlin that was such an infuriating smirk. Only I was allowed to give smirks like that.
I whipped my wand in his direction, using a nonverbal spell so he didn't know what was coming. The spell sent him flying backwards and he landed hard on his back. I smirked only to let it slide off my face seconds later. Potter had landed at the feet of Deputy Headmaster Neville Longbottom. Shit.
Normally professor Longbottom was an absolute sweetheart. Definitely one of my favorite teachers, even though I'm not a big fan of Herbology. At the moment however he looked extremely pissed. I can't say I blame him. If I had to break up a fight between two students at least three times a week for seven years I'd be pretty pissed too. And James Sirius Potter and I have been fighting since day one of first year.
It has nothing to do with the fact that Potter was a Potter. I got along with his siblings and cousins just fine. I like them. James Potter however just rubbed me the wrong way, just by breathing.
"Potter, Black! Detention, 8pm, my office." Professor Longbottom said coldly.
Damn. There goes another night of practice with the quidditch team. They were gonna kill me. Professor Longbottom watched as we each went our separate ways, Potter went upstairs and I went down.
Stupid, stupid boy.
Never ending drama with him and it's only October. It's ridiculous. And I can't even blame him. I, myself start half our fights with insults, snotty comments, and once with a neat flipendo jinx. Students have won money in betting the outcomes of our fights.
"Medelian Inheritance." I said to the brick wall guarding my house common room. A genetics term. Muggle stuff. Who would have thought? The wall shimmered and disappeared leaving an archway. I stepped through the archway and looked around the green and black décor room. Scorpius Malfoy and Albus Potter sat at a table playing wizard chess.
"Al your brother is an ass."
Albus snorted.
"What did he do now?" he asked without looking up.
"He left me with a giant lump on my head and an eight pm detention."
Scorpius laughed.
"Honestly Bells. You two are unbelievable."
I huffed at him while tucking my long black hair behind an ear.
"He started it." I muttered.
Albus' head shot up. Finally.
"Did he find out yet?"
I shrugged.
"If he did he wasn't letting on."
Al sighed.
"This won't be any fun if he doesn't find out."
"So then tell Rose to give him the slip." I drawled. Talking about James Potter was starting to bore me. Even though I was pulling a huge prank to piss him off. Well actually it wasn't really a prank. I was simply dating Potter's best friend, Steven Dragonii. And it's not like I'm using Steven. I really like him. I have since the fourth year. It's just a coincidence that he's Potters best friend and that going out with him would piss off Potter.
"Oh and let the team know I'm not making it."
Albus frowned.
"Again Bells? What the hell?"
"Blame your brother and my eight o'clock detention." I said irritably.
I turned from them and went to my dorm spending the rest of the day with my nose in a book. 8pm came and went. Detention was same as usual: quiet. Although Potter seemed more annoyed then usual.
"You may go." Professor Longbottom said at a quarter to ten. Potter grabbed his stuff and flew out the door. I followed a little more slowly, to give him time to disappear. Not that it mattered. He was still waiting for me, wand clenched in his hand.
"If I find out you're playing Steven there will be consequences." He spat acidly.
I didn't say anything. After all friends should be watching out for friends.
"Yea sure Potter." I hissed when I realized he was waiting for an answer. I don't know why I'm so angry. No reason more then likely. He just does that to me.
We stood there in silence for several minutes before he abruptly turned and walked away. Whatever. I stomped down to the dungeons muttering to myself about blockheaded Gryffindors.
Scorpius and Albus were waiting for me in the common room.
"Yes he knows." I said as I passed them.
"Well it's about time." Al said with shining eyes. I need to get him a girlfriend, especially if pissing off his brother is what he considers fun.
The next month passed on quietly. Well as quiet as Hogwarts can get. I didn't receive a single detention: school record. Mainly because Steven asked Potter to leave me alone. On the flip side I had to leave him alone too. I have much more fun being with Steven then I do dueling Potter every other second anyway. November was chilly and promised a winter full of snow. But more importantly the Quidditch season began.
I appreciate reviews of all kinds. Thanks
