The Girl Who Dared

Halloween

To say the next few weeks flew by was an understatement. I hadn't realized the date until the day before. October 31st better known as Halloween. We had been so busy that it flew from our minds. Marley, Lukas, and I all sat in the library studying for what would be considered our midterm exams. I noticed Marley getting frustrated until she finally snaps hitting her head off the table.

" I am going to fail" She groaned out, and I smiled seeing were she was struggling with Alohomora the unlocking spell. Lukas couldn't help but snort

" Well if you wouldn't have fallen asleep during the class we wouldn't be here right now" He said smiling innocently as Marley looked at him. Her grey eyes baring into his blue ones.

" I'm going to kill you" I sighed watching Marley bare her teeth at him as Lukas only grinned. Those two were either A. Going to be the death of me or B. They were going to kill each other and leave me alone.

" Bring it on Black you know you can't catch me!" I saw the smirk from Lukas as Marley jumped out of her seat grabbing him before growling. Marley was like a big blur flying threw the air but before she could get a hold of him Madam Pence had Marley by the hood of her cloak glaring at all three of us.

" This is a library Miss Black, Miss Potter, And Mr. Lupin if your going to act like this I will ask you to leave once before I personally kick you out. Am I understood?" The tall thin woman with graying hair glared at all three of us. I nodded along side Marley and Lukas as we started to pack up. Luckily it was lunch time which meant the mail would be arriving soon. I wasn't looking forward to hearing Malfoy yelling about the sweets his parents sent him again.

As the three of us packed up and began our way to the great hall I saw Hermonie. But she was giving everyone the silent treatment.

" I'm not sure what your brother and the Weasley did to her but shes a ticking time bomb if you ask me" Lukas said taking a seat right in front of Marley and Me.

" Your not the one that lives with her you know" I said taking a bite out of the sandwich I snatched.

" Yeah you don't understand what she can be like! Shes mean when shes like this!" Marley said pointing her fork at him.

I smiled as we were having a normal conversation until it was interrupted by the mail. I saw Harry and Ronald watching as two huge parcels carried by at least four owls each sat the two parcels in front of us. Harry and I looked at each other before seeing the notes attached.

DO NOT OPEN THE PARCEL AT THE TABLE It contains your new Nimbus Two Thousand, but I don't want everybody knowing you and your brother each got a broomstick or they'll all want one. Oliver Wood will meet you tonight on the Quidditch field at seven o' clock for your first training sessions. Professor McGonagall.

I couldn't contain my excitement. Harry and I jumped out of our seats running for the common room followed by Marley and Ron until we were stopped by Crabbe and Goyle. Malfoy stepped in front of them grinning like he was about to win the house cup for the next seven years and I glared at him but before I could do or say anything he grabbed the parcel out of Harry's hands.

" Give that back !" Marley seethed but Malfoy ignored her.

" First years are not allowed brooms you know that Potters!" He smirked more as I glared at him.

" Thats a Nimbus two thousand Malfoy! Give it back its worth more than your head right now" Marley's tone had changed and I noticed her hair beginning to change to a black color as her eyes showed pure anger

" What afraid Ill" he smirked holding it out about to drop it. I stepped in grabbing it using mine to take out his legs from under him. We watched as he fell to the ground his face turning red with embarrassment and anger and when he was about to say something Professor Flitwick came out from no where and smiled brightly at all of us.
