crashing down // Fred Weasley

Winky's Warning

The next day, whilst everyone was off at breakfast Sophie found herself curled up in the common room by the fire reading the book she had been given by her DADA teacher the previous morning.

One thing that had caught her eye in the book was a plant called 'Gillyweed' something that would make you able to hold your breath under the water. An argument known though which concerned Sophie was that their was rumours it didn't work in every part of the water. This plant from there on would be her last resort but as she read the book again skimming through the pages she couldn't find anything else which could help.

The only other problem was where could she get it from? High chances Snape would have some in his storage cupboard but was it worth sneaking in just to be disappointed.

"How come you weren't at breakfast?" Harry asked as him, Ron and Hermione entered the common room, taking a seat on the large couch.

"Wasn't hungry." Sophie shrugged keeping her eyes down on the book.

"What's that your reading?" Hermione asked.

"Water plants and their properties." She replied still keeping her eyes back.

"Since when were you interested in water plants?" Quizzed Ron.

Sophie closed the book and let it rest on her lap before looking up at her friends. "Since i need to hold my breath for an hour and without some sort of water plant that wouldn't happen."

"Why do you need to hold your breath for an hour?" Harry laughed.

"That's the task." She shrugged again.

"You figured it out then?" Hermione squealed. "How, when?"

"Last night." Sophie smiled. "Draco helped."

"Draco?!" Ron and Harry snapped in unison.

"Yes Draco." Sophie said.

"How did you figure it out?" Hermione asked ignoring the boys and the fact she had been with Draco.

"He told me." Sophie said rising from her seat and placing the book onto the mantle piece. "We went to the prefects bathroom and he told me to put the egg in the water and open it."

"That's daft." Ron said through gritted teeth.

"So you mean to tell me you were in the prefects bathroom, after hours, with Draco Malfoy, in the bathtub." Harry asked roughly.

"Yes brother that's what I'm telling you." Sophie nodded.

"Any of us." He started. "You could have come to any of us and you went to Draco Malfoy?"

"Who i ask for help isn't your concern." She pouted. "And beside he came to me."

"We're not angry Soph." Hermione added.

"Speak for yourself." Ron snarled. "Your friends with Draco why shouldn't we be angry?"

"Because Ronald it's non of your business." Sophie replied.

"You been snogging him too." Ron yapped. "Like Cedric and my brother."

"How." Sophie froze. "How dare you, I am not snogging Malfoy." She yelled pointing a finger at the boy. "Nor am i snogging Cedric and i am most definitely not just snogging your brother!"

"Sophie." Harry whispered.

"No." The girl said. "Why is it you two are always judging me nearly everyday." She asked. "I can't do anything if it doesn't involve you and it's tiring, im not you Harry okay. I'm not apart of this trio and I don't need other people!" She shouted before storming off out of the common room.
