Slytherins Golden Girl

Chapter 4

She turned to see Cedric, as small smile spread across her face as she watched him weaving his way in and out of the crowds till he was stood in front of the four. He leaned against the stone wall and readjusted the robes across his chest, "Ella, meet me at the tonight Astronomy Tower 9pm."

"Has something happened?" She asked looking him up and down. He didn't seem physically hurt. Maybe he was going to tell her his mental aunt Cheryl was out of Azkaban and he was going instead.

Cedric shook his head. "No, no everything's fine. Just meet me there tonight and remember don't get caught." He winked before turning and disappearing into the crowd again.

"What the bloody hell was that all about?" Ron smirks, seeing her confused face. "You and him up a tower, late at night?"

"Come off it Ron." she scoffs. "Me and Cedric are like brother and sister, it would be wrong on so many levels." She said disgusted earning a small chuckle from Harry.

"As fun as this is, we do have another class to get to." Hermione said. She tapped down at her watch before marching along the corridor, her curls bouncing as she walked.

"God forbid Hermione Jean Granger is late for a lesson." Harry joked, following her down the corridor. "Come on you two!"

Eleanor follows the trio through the corridors and across the rickety wooden bridge until they reached the edge of the castle grounds over looking the forbidden forest. She looked down to see a small stone hut surrounded by students situated at the bottom of the hill. "Our lessons down there?" She asks raising an eyebrow at the trio.

"Hagrid prefers us learning outside of the classroom!" Ron shouts running down the hill as the others follow not far behind him.

"Hey wait!" Eleanor shouts chasing after them.

When she reached the group, she squeezed her way into the open spot between Daphne and Blaise. "Where'd you get to?" Daphne whispers turning to her, "We were gonna send out a search party."

"I got caught up by someone." She heavily breathed.

Blaise cocked his brow, "Late and sneaking off with someone on your first day, damn Elle you're good."

"Shut up" She rolls her eyes, lightly smacking  his chest. She looked around the group of students everyone seemed to be here, except one. "Does Draco not take this lesson?"

"He got daddy to allow him to drop the lesson." Theo replied, stepping closer behind them. "After the incident and all."

"Incident?"

"Last year Draco got 'attacked' by a Hippogriff. Bastard only ended up with a few scratches, but made a massive deal about it so his father pulled him out." Theo sighed pulling a small smile as the corner of his eyes creased.

"And how did the soldier survive his traumatic experience?" Eleanor poked laughing slightly.

"Pansy was all over him. 'Oh does it hurt terribly Draco? Do you want me to rub it better for you Draco?" Adrian teased, imitating Pansys movements and batting his eyelashes.

"I was not!" Pansy exclaims crossing her arm.

"Miss Parkinson, would you be able to repeat what I just said."

They group turn to see Hagrid staring at them, he clasped his hands together waiting on her response. "No Professor." She responded grabbing her book of monsters off the ground and stroking the sides.

"Well then, can anybody tell what creature the Blast-Ended Skrewt is a hybrid of?" He asked the class and of course Hermiones hand  shot into the air.
