Enemies Working Together

3

Over the next couple of weeks, as the school prepares for the arrival of the other two schools participating in the Triwizard Tournament, Ron and Cassiopeia continue to meet in private and also stay close to one another so they avoid the blinding headaches. Cassiopeia gets used to the random thoughts of food she hears from Ron and Ron learns about the heart of gold behind the Ice Princess exterior.

On the day the students from the other schools arrive, Ron mysteriously gets sick after a French girl visits the table to get some food which worries his siblings because Ron never gets sick especially during a time when he can eat. They decide to take him to Mme. Pomphrey but they are shocked when they see Cassiopeia Malfoy catching up to them.

"Leave us alone, Malfoy! Ron is sick therefore can you save your bullying for another day?" Ginny fires at the blonde, who rolls her eyes. She focuses her attention on the youngest Weasley male who is growing paler and paler by the second.

"Like my little sister said, Ron is sick so leave your bullying for another day." Fred says, harshly.

"I can see that he is sick. I know exactly what will help him but you need to trust me and let me help him instead of telling me to go away." She says with a fiery determination burning in her grey eyes.

"We are taking him to Mme. Pomphrey, who can help him." George glares at her while saying this. She shakes her head and decides to ignore the Weasleys and kisses Ron.

Ron, like the last time, the second he is better, kisses her back. This kiss lasts longer than the one in the Astronomy Tower a couple weeks ago. By the end of the kiss, Ron has his hands on her hips, pulling her closer, and Cassiopeia has her hands in his hair. The two slowly pull apart with their eyes still closed. The other Weasleys stand there shocked.

"What the hell was that? Ron! She's a Malfoy! You're a Weasley! You shouldn't be kissing her!!" Ginny shouts and George nods his head in agreement. Then they all hear a voice that makes Cassiopeia's skin crawl like it has since they were little kids.

"Well, well, well! I wonder what Daddy Dearest would think of his precious little princess kissing a Weasel." It was Everett Rosier. The way he is smirking tells Cassiopeia that he wants something from her to keep him silent.

"What do you want, Rosier?" She says wearily because she has dealt with this poor excuse for a human being for far too long and it is growing tiresome. Rosier pretends to be thoughtful.

"Well what I want, I will eventually get it, so right now I would love for you and I to have some alone time." Cassiopeia knows exactly what he means by alone time. The Weasleys all watch as she pulls herself up to her full height, which is about 5'4, and glares harshly at him with the air of being pureblood royalty.

"I will never spend any alone time with you nor will I ever marry you! Now if you do not keep your silence, you do not want to find out what I will do because believe me when I tell you this, I will not be messed with! I am a Malfoy and you are just a lowly Rosier." She speaks with a powerful voice.

"Sorry Princess," Rosier does not look sorry at all, "But I will be telling Daddy Dearest." He gives Cassiopeia a god-awful smirk that makes Cassiopeia's skin crawl.

"Very well, then you leave me no choice." Everyone watches her obliviate Rosier. Rosier looks around confused.

"Why the hell am I here? With Weasleys?" He demands.

"You tripped and fell while you were heading to the common room. They just happened to be here talking when it happened. You have to finish your homework." Cassiopeia suggests to him and he immediately leaves. A shudder goes through her body as her mind begins to spiral.
