My Damned Lover: Third Year

Chapter 46

"SIX BUTTERBEER AT YOUR SERVICE!" The twins boomed. 

Seraphina and Hermione laughed while Ron shook her head. "You two are annoying." 

"Scoot over, bro," Fred said as he squeezed between Ron and Seraphina. 

"Scoot over, bro," George said as he came between Seraphina and Fred. 

"Hey!" Fred complained. He saw his opportunity next to Hermione, but she refused to budge. "No one comes between me and Seraphina." 

Seraphina grinned and locked an arm around her. "No one." 

Fred frowned and plunked down beside Ron who chortled and sipped his butterbeer. "I hope no teachers come in here," Hermione said as she glanced around. "If they see Harry, we'll all get in trouble." 

"Relax, Hermione. If they come, we'll use the invisibility cloak," George said. 

Seraphina nodded. "No one will know he's here." 

George smiled at his friends. "We should do this more often." 

"We would, but apparently, someone is busy with her Slytherin boyfriend," Ron muttered with an accusatory clear of his throat.

 Seraphina narrowed her eyes at him. "Ron, do you know I could hack a loogie and it'd land straight in your butterbeer?" 

"UGH, GROSS!" Ron whined as the twins howled with laughter. 

"Don't test her," Hermione chortled. 

"No, please do. I want to see it for myself," George said, making Seraphina laugh. 

Ron covered his mug as he muttered, "Better not." 

"Anyway, yesterday was extreme," George said, and they all talked at once about the crazy quidditch game. 

Suddenly, Hermione panicked. "Felix!" 

"Give me your cloak!" Fred hissed, and Harry did as told. Fred threw the cloak over Seraphina, and she went out of sight. 

"He's coming," Ron muttered.

 "I want to knock him out," Hermione growled. 

"You're starting to sound like Seraphina," Ron said.

 "Why does it sound like that's a bad thing?" Seraphina demanded. 

"Hush, he's here!" George warned. 

Seraphina slapped a hand over her mouth and looked up. 

Felix stopped at their table, and he scanned the crowd. "Where's Seraphina?" 

Fred picked his ear and looked around. "There's a nastly fly in here." 

"There sure is. I hear it buzzing in my ear, too," George said. Ron bit his lower lip to keep from laughing, but Harry couldn't hide his grin. 

"Tell me where she is," Felix ordered.

 "Ugh! I swear the damn fly just came into my ear!" Fred whacked his ear in distaste. 

"Do you want me to get rid of it?" Hermione pulled out her wand. 

Felix narrowed his eyes. "Very funny, but you lot better be prepared for what's to come." 

"Who wants more butterbeer?" Fred hollered loudly. Felix rolled his eyes and stormed to the other side of the pub. 

"I think that's our cue to go," Fred whispered. 

"Come on, Seraphina," Hermione mumbled softly. 

Seraphina put the cloak over Harry, and they left the pub together. Once they were outside, they pulled the cloak off and sighed in relief. "I've gotta admit, that git is persistent," George said. 

"When are the Lagora students leaving?" Ron demanded. "I think soon," Harry said. 

"If we're lucky, they'll leave before your birthday," George said with a grin as he looked at Seraphina. "Please. I'd wish for nothing else," she said, making everyone laugh. 

"Where to?" 

"We only have time for one place." 

"Zonko's it is!" 

"Hey, we have to vote here!" 

"Forget it, we're all going." 

Seraphina chuckled and followed her friends. She paused when she saw the sweet shop, and her thoughts immediately went to Draco.

"What's wrong, Seraphina?" Hermione asked. 

"I... need to get a few things from Honeydukes," Seraphina said. 

"Glacial snow flakes?" Ron guessed. 

"I'll go with you," Hermione said. "I want to get a few treats myself," Harry said. 

"We'll meet you three at Zonko's," Hermione told Ron, Fred, and George. They left, and Seraphina smiled and swung her arms around Harry and Hermione. "Now only the cool kids are left." 

Hermione laughed and Harry grinned in response.
