Secret desires - (Harry Potter X OC)

Chapter 3

RECAP:"Just... don't step on my hair." She brushed a hand through her hair and the four of them walked as silently as possible deeper into the forbidden forest. 

"Ouch, get off me!"

"No you're too close to me!"

"Watch it! That's my foot!"

"Are the spiders back?"

"Shut up Ron." 

The group of students were now walking deeper into the forest, getting more unsettled the further they walked.

Harry abruptly halted.

"Look there..." He pointed to his left. There was indeed something moving there. In fact, it didn't look like a mysterious creature wearing robes four times its body size, it looked like a human who was the same age as Michelle and her friends.

"Anyone recognize it?" Cho whispered. The other three shook their heads.

"Let's watch for a while longer."

The four of them watched as the person looked around carefully before sneaking some jars and pots from her cloak into the inside of a big oak tree. The figure then waved her cloak around with a whoosh and four more jars appeared in her arms.

"What kind of trick is that." Ron gaped. 

"What should we do?" Cho added, turning to the other three. "Should we try and find out who the person is?"

Harry nodded while Ron shook his head. The boys glared and each other. Michelle snickered but otherwise didn't say anything. The figure finished its secret sketchy business and started to run away from the scene.

"Quick! Don't let it get away!" Cho cried in panic, alerting the hooded person they were not alone. Taking a huge amount of effort, the four friends tried as best as the could to fall in sync while running, although they did trip many times. The hooded figure hopped onto an awaiting broomstick and whisked away into the darkness, but right before it could, Michelle had pulled out a small device and took two snapshots of whoever it was behind the hood.

"Dammit!" Ron cursed and he bent over the catch his breath.

"It got away." Harry exclaimed in frustration. Michelle examined her snaps closely.

"Let's see what the person hid." She suggested, pulling Ron up and forcing the rest of the group to keep up with her walking pace. They circled around the big tree trunk three times but found nothing.

"Must've sealed the place with a spell." Harry sighed. "Hermione would know."

"We were so close to seeing what this was all about." Cho groaned.

"It's okay, I've got picture proof." Michelle's eyes shone in the dark as she showed off her findings to the group. Suddenly enthusiastic again, the group hurried back to the school to report their findings, only to bump into filch and his cat, angering the poor old man.

"Right you lot! I'm getting Mcgonagall right this instance!" He crowed, rushing down the hall and returning only seconds later with Mcgonagall right behind him. The four friends bowed their heads as Mcgonagall lectured them for a whole 2 minutes about taking their last year of schooling seriously and how they should be ashamed of themselves for acting like 2nd years. They tried to tell Mcgonagall about what they found out but she was too angry to listen.

"I'm especially disappointed with you Harry." She continued and went on rambling for another minute.

"Michelle and Harry, detention tomorrow in Snape's office. Ron and Cho, come serve your detention now." She spoke briskly and led away a scared looking Ron and a groaning Cho to their first detention of the year.

"Goodluck." Harry whispered after their friends and then turned to Michelle.

"So it seems we're free to go." He folds up his invisibility cloak. Michelle nodded.

"Well. Goodnight Harry. See you in detention tomorrow."

Harry chuckled at that and nodded. 

"Goodnight Michelle."

Then it became awkward because they headed in the same direction down the hall before going different ways at the end of the hall.

----------NEXT DAY----------

"I heard you guys got detention." Was the first thing Luna said to Michelle when they got up the next morning.

"Yeah it sucks. Filch just had to be there." Michelle made a gagging face and Luna smiled.

"It'll be over soon, don't worry."

The girls headed down to the dining hall and caught up with the rest of their friends before going to sit in their respective houses.

"Cho! What did Mcgonogall make you guys do." Michelle dragged her arm to make the girl sit beside her. Cho yawned and rubbed her eyes, looking very tired.

"She's a cursed woman!" Cho exclaimed, "Made us write lines at 1am! Ron fell asleep and I had to write his lines for him or else Mcgonogall told us we would've had to come back to detention again today." Cho held her head in her arms. Michelle grimaced. 

"Tough luck man. Ron's a real dick. " She commented and hoped that Snape wouldn't give her and Harry the same punishment. 

Classes flew by as Michelle awaited anxiously for what Snape had in store for her at the end of the day.

"Hey Michelle!" Harry waved from across the hall. He made his way over quickly, apologising to the people he bumped into on the way.

"Harry." She greeted. "Ready for detention?" 

Harry groaned at the mention of it and Michelle felt the same way.

"I hope it's something easy. Ron told me about all the lines he had to write." 

Michelle snorted. You mean the ones Cho wrote for him but she didn't say anything. The two friends made their way to Snape's office and knocked on the door. He opened the door almost immediately, like he knew they were coming.

"Ah, the detention students." He grinned maliciously. "Perfect timing."

Michelle glanced at Harry and he glanced back at her, their worries reflecting in each other's eyes perfectly. 

"I need this mess my pet turtle made to be tidied." Snape leads them into a huge room with a huge mess on the floor. He grinned as if he was making a massive joke.

"Finish cleaning this up in an hour." 

"But sir! There's too much! It's impossible to-" Michelle's words were cut off when Snape slammed the door and used a spell to lock it. Harry sighed. Both students had left their wands back at their dorms so there was no way to use magic to clean this up.

"Let's just get this over with." Harry rolled up his sleeves and Michelle did the same.

At least I'll get to hang with Draco later.
