The Universe Against Us

TURNED ON RON

Draco wasn't kidding when he said he would be harder on me. When I was walking in the halls two days ago, he shoved me down the stairs. Yesterday he wouldn't stop bothering me about being muggle born. Today, at breakfast, turns out he stepped on my cloak making me trip and then dumped black black berry juice on me. It took forever to get off my body and then change.

The library is quiet today, not many students and only one or two ghost. It is sunny outside so that might be why also. I rub my eyes vigorously  I have been awfully sleepy throughout the day, fuck Nicole must've slipped something in my drink. I curse softly under my breath. "What's up" I say as I sit next to Harry. 

A candle light flickers in the middle of the table and I see Hermione's gaze rest upon it. I blow it out softly. "Mione why did you drag us all down here? I am fine with it but Harry and Ron look like they are about to murder your arse" I suggest to her. 

"Well they couldn't if they tried" Hermione speaks proudly. "Anyways I dragged you all here because I think I figured out who the Half-blood prince is" she continues. 

My eyebrows perch up. "You did?!" Ron shouts out. 

I slap him from across the table. "Why don't you go tell the whole bloody world Ron" I glower at him. 

He looks down to his feet. Hermione sighs. "It is okay Ron, I am sure Emma wasn't trying to be mean" Hermione assures him as she rubs his back. 

I don't know if it was a trick of the light but I swear I saw him flinch. Hermione must've noticed for she quickly removes her hand. "Hermione who is the Half-blood Prince" Harry asks her, clearly getting impatient. 

"I am considering that well.., you remember Tom Riddle from the chamber of secrets right?" she glances around the table. 

Ron and Harry both nod. I do the same but I feel my skin crawl. A voice try's to impede my mind but I shove it to the back of my head."Well I did some research and it shows he was a half-blood, and who else would create such awful spells" Hermione claims. 

She does have a point. "I think you might be onto something Mione" Harry says as he gets up. "But Ron and I seriously have to get to Quidditch, we are versing Slytherin today" Harry continues as he pulls Ron out of his chair. 

Hermione stands up swiftly. "Harry this is more important!" 

Harry shakes his head. "I know Hermione but this is important to us and to all of Gryffindor, save you two" Ron defends as he puts on his jacket. 

"Ron!" I shout this time standing up as well. 

He gives me an apologetic look. "We are sorry, really, but we have to go, we have to beat Slytherins dirty arses" Harry says to me as Hermione and I follow the boys to the door. 

"Harry James Potter and Ronald Billius Weasley you stay here right now" Hermione scolds them. 

"Sorry Mione" Ron says as he and Harry rush out the door, slamming it in our faces. 

Hermione lets out a groan. I run a hand through my hair. "I suppose we have to put a hold to this" I say to her as we walk back to our table. 

Hermione shoves on her coat angered. "I suppose so" she growls as we put the books away.

I take a few books from her and throw them up in the air carefully as they place themselves. "I mean the first lead we have and they waste all of our time by going to a quidditch game!" Hermione shouts angrily and throws her hands up in the air. 

"Mione you're right but remember this is important to them and-" I start but she cuts me off.

"I know, I know," she says as she rubs her forehead. "I am just so occupied on this, that I forget that."
