I don't own Harry Potter just my Ocs.

Chapter 11

Ellie's p.o.v.

After the whole mirror incident I tried to do my usual routine but sometimes the image of my parents would pop in my head. I do sometimes wish to see it again but I think it's for the best.

All of a sudden a pair of hands covered my eyes.

"Guess who?" A slight deep voice said as if he was trying to cover his voice.

I felt his hands over mine and slowly reached his arms, until I felt his face. I still had trouble trying to figure out who was this person that is until I touched his long hair I instantly knew who it was and I smiled.

"Lucas! You're back!" I said he let go and I looked at my friend I hugged him tightly.

"I got back a few days early." He said he held a small box. "Here I got you some of your favorite muggle candy."

"Awesome! Thanks Lucas!" I said smiling brightly at him. He gave me a small smile.

After that we spend time together until the new semester started, everyone came back the day before school started even hermione I told her that we did try to find about Flamel but we didn't have any luck on it.

The next morning it was lunch so I was up a bit earlier than the others except Harry he went to Quidditch practice today. I was at the courtyard admiring the clear sky and gentle breeze.

'It's so relaxing...I'm sure nothing can ruin it.' I thought taking out a chocolate bar and broke a piece off eating a bit of it. Letting the dark morsel melt in my mouth savoring the yummy taste.

"Hi Ellie." A voice said I mentally cursed myself for jinxing it.

"Malfoy." I said looking at him and bit some more chocolate.

"Did you enjoy your Christmas?" He asked.

'Huh?' I thought usually he would say something mean but he's being nice...I don't trust him now.

"It was nice...what about you, did you have a nice Christmas ?" I asked he nodded

"It was wonderful, father had given me some new things to use for Quidditch next year. I was wondering did you like the necklace?" He asked

'Something is up...he's being nice...too nice...' I thought eyeing at him cautiously taking out the present he gave me.

"It's pretty and all but I can't accept it sorry." I extend my hand to him.

"Why not?" He sounded somewhat offended that I wouldn't keep his stupid necklace.

"Well, it's just that I don't feel comfortable accepting this." I said "Besides its not my style."

I saw him take the necklace back and look down at him "But Ellie..." I felt him place it around my neck. "It suits you."

I looked at it, it just didn't feel right accepting something from him since he's always mean to my friends and my brother! I took it off practically shoving it back to him.

"I don't want it. Are you trying to buy me into being your friend? "I said

"No it's just-" He started but I cut him off.

" If you think buying me with gifts like that will make me be your friend then your wrong!"I said picking up my backpack and left in a huff.

Draco's p.o.v.

I don't get her, I don't get her at all...I thought that this would work. It usually works with others but not her. Ellie...the girl with the blue backpack...what can I do? Mother said that girls like jewelry, flowers and other high quality things...and girls like it when you talk to them about their day, I was only following what mother had said. So I thought she would like this that I picked out for her.

"What does she like?" I whispered looking at the pendant and placed it in my pocket.

I then remembered the candy that she ate, she seem to fancy that type of sweets.

'Maybe that will work.' I thought still feeling a bit hopeful at my next attempt to get her to like me.

End of p.o.v.

Ellie's p.o.v.

I still had time before I meet up with the others so I decided to finish my homework at the library with Lucas. I was halfway done with my potions essay.

"Ellie, do you have any plans for summer yet?" Lucas asked as I finished writing my essay.

"I guess just the usual things that we always do. Why?" I asked

"I was just wondering if...if you'd like to come to my house a bit." He said "My mom could teach us a few spells and stuff."

"But won't we get in trouble?" I asked

"No, since my mum's a witch we can do some magic at my house. Just as long as it's nothing dangerous and if she's in the house." Lucas said

'It would be nice doing some magic...maybe make a few potions...'I thought liking the idea. 'It might be good to practice...' I smiled.

But before I could even give him an answer a paper plane with a box was flown to our table. I took the note and read it.

"What? Why can't he just leave me alone?" I muttered

"What's wrong?" Lucas asked

"It's Malfoy." I said looking over my shoulder and saw him in a table with his friends.

"What's wrong with that git?" Lucas muttered glaring at him.

"I think he likes me...gross." I said

"What?!"Lucas said clearly shocked at what I said.

"I told him to leave me alone but he's just not getting the message." I said looking at the box I opened it to see some mini chocolates cauldrons.

"What did the note say?" He asked

"To the girl with the blue backpack, Enjoy the candy. Draco." I said reading the note. I looked over my shoulder at him and he lightly smiled at me. I glared at him and went back to my homework.

After that I noticed Lucas was quieter than usual. It felt a bit weird usually he would talk when we're doing homework but he just kept quiet. Nothing but silence the entire time we did homework.

All of a sudden I felt a tap on my shoulder when I turn it was Malfoy.

"Ellie, I was wondering if you want to study with me?" He said

Before I could answer Lucas spoke up.

"Why don't you leave her alone Malfoy?" Lucas muttered

Malfoy glared at Lucas.

"I wasn't talking to you greasy git. I was talking to Ellie." He said

"Don't talk to my friend like that!" I said getting up glaring at him.

"Come on Ellie." Draco said taking my hand. "Besides just look at him, he's just a greasy git that's just a waste of your time." Lucas got up but I put my hand out to stop him. He looked in my eyes and I stared back for a minute.

"Lucas, I've got this." I said I looked at Draco giving him a light friendly like smile.

I took a deep breath and grabbed his robes.

Draco's p.o.v.

I felt my cheeks turn a bit red when she grabbed my robes. I couldn't trust myself to speak so I just looked at her. She took a deep breath leaning up her hands on my robes as she looked in my eyes and I stared back at her pretty green eyes. My heart was beating faster in my chest as she was pulling me closer. Instead of what I thought would be something special for us, I felt immense pain in my right foot. I pull away grunting in pain clutching my foot and felt something sweet shoved in my face, I realized it was the sweets that I gave her.

"That's for making fun of my friends!" I look up wiping the candy from my sleeve staring into those wild green eyes filled with anger.

I got up but Man that hurt, who knew she was strong?"Wait I…" I saw her huff grabbing her stuff and grabbing her friends hand, storming out of the library.

Ellie's p.o.v.

I ran out of the library as fast as I could not letting go of Lucas's hand. We ran until we were near my tower.

"I can't believe you did that to...to him!" Lucas said while he was out of breath.

"Let's see if that'll get through to him, I'm not interesting in anything he gives me." I said

Lucas looked at me and gave me a small smile handing me a book that I let him borrow.

"I'll see you later..."he said

"Bye Lucas." I said going to the common room. I smiled I couldn't believe that I did that it felt great! I guess now he'll leave me and my friends alone.

"Snape's referring the next match." I heard Harry say

Our eyes widened.

"Don't play." Hermione said

"Say you're ill." Ron said

"Pretend to break your leg."

"Really break your leg."

"Guys, he can't." I said

"She's right." Harry said "There isn't a reserve Seeker. If I back out, Gryffindor can't play at all."

At that moment, Neville toppled into the common room. His legs were stuck together with the Leg-Locker Curse. He must have had to hop all the way up to the Gryffindor tower.

Everyone began to laugh, except Hermione and me. She leapt up and performed the counter-curse. Neville's legs sprang apart and he got to his feet, trembling.

"What happened?" Hermione asked

"Malfoy," Neville said his voice was a bit shaky. "I met him outside the library. He said he'd been looking for someone to practice that one."

"Report him." Hermione said

I tighten my fist. Malfoy! He's just mad because I didn't want to go on to his little stupid date and accept his stupid gifts! So he took it out on poor Neville! I'm seriously gonna get that bleach blonde idiot!

"I'm so gonna hex him!" I said getting up taking my wand out but Harry and hermione stopped me.

"Ellie, I don't want you or anyone getting in trouble." Neville said

"But Neville you can't be anyone's punching bag! You have to learn to stand up for yourself!" I said looking at Neville. "You can't let him walk all over you, you may not be good at a few things but you've got a lot of heart!" I smiled at Neville and a hint of pink color appeared in his cheeks.

"Thanks." he blushed as he sat down in a chair near the fire.

"Yeah, Ellie is right. " Harry said. "You're worth twelve of him." Harry tossed Neville a Chocolate Frog.

Even though I was still tempted to hex Malfoy but I decided not too. One of these days...one of these days I'll hex him.

"Do you want this?" Neville said holding the card out to me.

When he handed me the card, it was dumbledore I remembered where I heard that flamel guy before.

"That's it! It was right in front of us the whole time!" I said standing up and looking at Harry, Ron, and Hermione.

"What?" Ron asked.

"The card! It says that Dumbledore was famous for his 'work in alchemy with his partner, Nicolas Flamel!" I said

Hermione ran over and grabbed the card to read it quickly. Then she ran up the stairs that led to the girls' dorm.

"Where is she going?" Ron asked looking at the stairs where she had been moments before.

"No idea…" Harry replied.

"I think I have an idea of where she went." I said

Hermione came back with a huge book in her hands.

"I'm so stupid!" Hermione said opening the book.

"What is-?" Ron began.

Hermione put up a finger as she read in the book.

"Of course!" Hermione said pointing at the page and I walked to her side to read it.

"Nicolas Flamel is the only known maker of the Philosopher's Stone..." I said

"The Philosopher's Stone!" Hermione said reading the rest of the paragraph. "It is known to transform any metal into pure gold and produce the Elixir of Life, which makes the drinker immortal! It says that the only Stone in existence belongs to Nicolas Flamel, who just turned six-hundred and sixty-fifth birthday!"

We all looked to each other at this new information that have been brought to us. Finally putting the pieces together.

"So that's what the dog must be guarding!" I said.

"I remember going to Gringotts before the term, so that's what Hagrid picked something small up from one of the vaults!"Harry said

"It must have been the stone!" I said

"A stone that makes gold and stops you ever dying!" Harry said "No wonder Snape's after it! Anyone would want it."

I sigh they still think that Snape is after it but I feel like he's not the one after it. I have this feeling that he isn't after it, I don't know why I disagree with them. But it's not him.

The next morning went by fast, it was already time for potions class. I walked with Lucas in the halls to go into class.

"So that's what happened I was running from the dodgeballs and the next I was at the rooftop." Lucas said

"That explains why you were waving frantically at me, using your hoodie as a flag." I giggled lucas lightly chuckled at the memory.

We walked took our seats and I saw Lucas glaring at Malfoy.

"Is something wrong?" I said after a moment of watching the two boys glaring at eachother.

"It's nothing important Ellie, " Draco said. "I was just thinking that-"

Snape burst in through the door, shutting Draco up immediately. With a waved of Snape's wand words appeared in the blackboard.

"Today you'll make the wideye potion, there's the instructions so begin." Snape said

As usual everyone went to work, I immediately took out the six snake fangs and started to grind it in the mortar.

"Ellie...you grind it like this." Lucas whispered his hand covered mine and guided me. "Clockwise...them counter clockwise...see?"

I nodded and looked at the powder. I added the next ingredient to grind it with the powder. I made my potion with minutes to spare and glanced at Lucas he was already bottling his.

"Your time is up," Snape said as he stood up from his desk at the end of class.

He began to walk around the room, checking everyone's cauldron as usual. Most people, because this was a fairly new potion, had made little errors that made the potion completely unacceptable in Snape's eyes.

He stopped in my desk and looked at my work.

"Next time let grind the powder herself without your guidance." He said

Lucas didn't say anything, he just nodded. Not wanting to talk back to him.

"He only showed it to me once." I spoke up.

"Even so, you need to do it yourself." Snape said going to the next table.

After that Ron, Hermione, Neville, Lucas and I took our seats in the stands, looking out at the field as the game was about to begin.

"Look! Dumbledore is here!"Lucas said

"Wow! He doesn't normally come to the games!" Ron said.

Then the teams began to walk out onto the field. Today, Hufflepuff and Gryffindor came onto the field, with Snape behind them.

"He looks pissed." Ron said.

"I think even more pissed than usual."Lucas agreed.

"There they go-OUCH!" Ron said as he was poked in the back.

I turned around to see Malfoy, Crabbe, and Goyle sitting behind us.

"Sorry, Weasley, I didn't see you there," he said, a smirk going across his face. "I wonder if Potter is going to fall off his broom today…I think that calls for a bet! Anyone want to go against me, how about you, Weasley? What about you Knight?"

I tried my best to ignore Malfoy, but the look I saw on the boys faces was different.

"You know how the Gryffindor team picks their players, Goyle?" Malfoy said, speaking intentionally loud. "They only choose the pathetic ones. You see, there's Potter, who has no parents, then you have the Weasleys, who have no money - hey Longbottom, you should be on the team, you don't have any brains!"

Crabbe and Goyle burst into laughter, Ron and Neville went bright red.

"Shut it, Malfoy." Lucas muttered watching the game.

"I'm worth twelve of you, Malfoy…" Neville muttered.

Malfoy, Crabbe, and Goyle laughed even more.

"You tell him, Neville," Ron said, still looking at the game.

I nudged him and smiled, proud that he stood up for himself, and he smiled back, still red in the face. I rubbed my hands together since it was still a bit cold outside.

"If brains were gold, you'd be poorer than Weasley, and that's pathetic!" Malfoy sneered at Neville.

"Say one more thing Malfoy, I swear!" Ron warned.

"Malfoy shut up." Lucas said

Hermione shot him a look, not wanting a fight to start.

Then, suddenly, Harry dove towards the ground towards the Snitch. I clutched Lucas's hand looking at my brother.

"Look! Potter must have found some gold, Weasley, you're in luck!" Malfoy laughed. "Hey Lucy why don't you go and get it for him?"

"Shut up you Malfoy you little shit!" I snapped

"Shut up you filthy half blood!" Malfoy snapped at me.

"Don't you insult her!" Lucas threaten

Ron turned around and jumped on Malfoy, wrestling with him. Before you knew it, Neville had joined in and was trying to take on both Crabbe and Goyle. Hell even me and Lucas joined in to stop them.

"Boys!" I yelled

I stood up when Crabbe and Goyle pushed Neville down. They went to grab him up again, when I saw Lucas grab behind goyle. Before I could even stop them I was pushed to the ground by Pansy Parkinson.

"Oh, hell you did not just do that!" I said, standing up again. "You really don't wanna mess with me!"

I punched her dead in the face and knocked her to the ground. I was pushed forward slightly when Crabbe bumped into me because Neville had punched him also, knocking him backwards. I saw Lucas dodge a punch from goyle and suckered punched him.

"HE'S CAUGHT THE SNITCH!" Hermione shrieked as the rest of the crowd began to cheer.

Everyone that was fighting stopped and looked back at the field.

"We won!" Ron cheered having a few scratches on his face.

"Yeah!" I said

I turned to see that Neville was knocked out on the ground and Lucas picking him up, but I also noticed that both Crabbe and Goyle had black eyes. I was secretly proud of Neville. I also didn't think Lucas would fight like that. Today I saw a different side of Lucas which was a bit nice.

Please leave a review and tell me what you think!
