After the almost fatal quidditch tryouts, the first match against Hufflepuff was a walk in the park- whilst trying to dodge magical balls. They beat the bumblebee look-a-likes though, even if Draco did take his time about catching the snitch.
"Next time," the blonde started up again, as they walked up to Defence Against the Dark Arts. "Watch what you're doing" he was still going on about nearly getting hit in the head by a bludger like it was all Mia's fault; it wasn't like she'd charmed it to go to him. Though that was really sounding tempting right now.
"Is it worth reminding you, I'm not your body guard, and there was also another beater!" it had been over two days and he still wouldn't let it go. Not bothering to wait for the obviously sarcastic reply, the younger ran on ahead, managing to grab Ginny before she went off down another corridor. Unfortunately the little redhead hadn't made it onto the quidditch team and the disappointment still showed on her face.
"You'll get it next year, you just need ore practice" she encouraged, though Ginny just shrugged it off.
"I hope so. I didn't think-" Whatever the second year was going to say got cut off by Draco shouting Mia's name however.
"I'm sorry," the darker haired teen apologised, turning to catch u and call over her shoulder. "Tell me later!"
Professor Lupin hadn't arrived yet when everyone else went in. That was unusual. Taking a seat beside Draco, Mia frowned at the sling he was putting on. Considering he'd managed to play quidditch pretty well, there was no way he needed that. She didn't bother to argue against it though, there was no point.
"Going for the pity vote now?" She teased nudging his 'injury' slightly harder than necessary.
"Father says to wear it, it'll help with the case" He answered trying to sound as casual as possible, and it would've worked if the darker haired girl didn't know him so well. Before she could say anything though the classroom door opened and Snape walked in. Well, that silenced everyone.
The potions teacher wore his usual outfit of black slacks and matching robe, and as he walked to the front of the room all the boards snapped over the windows with loud thudding sounds, making several people jump. Mia frowned slightly as she watched him, hating how he acted so superior to everyone else.
"Turn to page 394" Snape said whilst pulling down the white projector screen and heading back towards the back of the class where the projector itself was sat. Trying to ignore him walking past her, the younger girl opened her book, flicking through several pages before stopping at werewolves. That didn't make sense, they weren't studying werewolves yet?
"Excuse me sir, where's Professor Lupin?" Harry questioned, which was probably what the rest of the class were thinking as well. Lupin seemed to love teaching, especially when Harry was in the class, there would have to be a good reason to keep him from doing it.
"That's not really your concern, is it Potter?" Snape replied, his tone almost a sneer, "I suppose I can say that your teacher finds himself unable to teach at this time. Page 394" Well, that didn't fill anyone in the room with much confidence, but worrying about what had happened with their teacher wouldn't do them any good right now. So, with that in mind Mia began to read the words in front of her, still not sure if werewolves was right. As if hearing her thoughts though, Hermione voiced them out loud,
"But sir, we're not meant to start nocturnal beasts for weeks-" The raven haired girl tuned out at that. Whenever the muggleborn started going on about something it could last the whole lesson, not that she minded when Snape was the teacher. Then again, that normally only lasted several minutes with Gryffindor losing half their house points.
Hermione and Snape's 'discussion' lasted less than a minute, a new record with silencing Hermione, and Gryffindor lost 15 points quite easily. She couldn't help smile at that even though it was wrong, hey she wanted to win the house cup just like everyone else, and that would definitely help that cause. The rest of the lesson was pretty boring, though Draco's 'subtle' "Hoooowl" when the word werewolf was mentioned did catch her attention.
"Thank you Mr Malfoy" Was all Snape had to say on his comment, which was probably favouritism. But again, Mia wasn't going to comment.
"Immature?" She questioned, smiling at the blonde next to her, admittedly she had laughed along with the others. He only gave a shrug as an answer though, not even bothering to smile back, his interest now on a piece of paper that he was drawing something on. Leaning over his shoulder slightly, she managed to see a boy that looked rather like Harry on a broom, which then changed to be struck by lightning. How lovely. "Immature" She repeated again, this time not even bothering to question it as Draco paper airplaned it over to the boy who lived.
A/N: I know I haven't updated in a while, I'm sorry I've been really busy (And gotten into Role-play again on bebo... I don't suppose any of you know what that is?) Unfortunately, I'm going on holiday in a few days for 2-4 weeks, so updating will be difficult as there's no internet where I'm going. I will try to get at least one chapter up though I promise. Thank you to everyone who's reading and reviewed, keep them coming for this chapter! Z-Nugget xx
