Potter

,,Potter." Jasmine greeted coldly that morning at the common room ,,Professor Slughorn wants us to help him with his Christmas party. He has handed me a few papers with ideas. We just need to help him decide which idea to use."

,,Hmm...sure" replied Potter, barely paying attention ,,Yes, yes, sure." he said messing his hair and staring out of the window ,,Sure"

,,Then we will have to help with the dishes." continuated Jasmine ,,and make new prefect rounds. Professor McGonagall has contacted me for it. Clear?"

,,What? Yeah, yeah, sure." Potter kept staring.

Jasmine had enough: ,,Potter? Potter? Potter? Are you even listening to me?"

,,Huh?"

,,Potter!"

Jasmine grew sick; she grabbed Potter by the arms and turned him around, forcing his hazel eyes to look into her emerald ones, trying to ignore the feeling in her chest.

,,Potter, look at me! Are you even listening?"

,,I-sure."

,,Potter!" Jasmine looked sharply at him ,,Why are you being so...distracted? Look at me!" she added when he ignored her, still staring.

,,Look at me, Potter!" she commanded ,,Why are you staring uot of the window the entire time? Unless you are seeing a lilac Hippogriff, I don't know what is so interesting!" she exclaimed.

Potter didn't smile: ,,I am just thinking"

,,Yeah, 'cause you think!" she snorted ,,Just tell me, Potter!"

This time he grew tired: ,,Just stop it!" he said ,,Let it be! It is none of your business! Just-just stop it! You're only making it worse."

Jasmine blinked, then she narrowed her eyes: ,,One, as fellow Head, seeing as you are not paying attention and I maybe have to report it, it is my business, two, nobody, and I say, nobody talks that way to me. Much less some random ignorant who is dumb enough to fall for my sister." She hissed ,,Don't. You. Dare"

Jasmine had now her wand out, under his chin: ,,Don't. You. Dare" That was the main problem if you messed with Jasmine; her temper would get the worst out of her. Even if it was something as simple as a few words.

,,Now," she said, not letting the wand fall ,,tell me, this is getting ridiculous."

,,Let me in peace!" Potter hissed. He seemed to have reached his limit as well ,,Expelliarmus!"

But Jasmine was prepared: ,,Protego! Why don't you just tell me?"

,,Incendio!"

,,Glacius!"

,,Stupefy! Because it's none of your business"

,,Why? It can't be that bad! Tell me! Protego!"

,,Furunculos!"

,,Anteoculatia! Expelliarmus!" Jasmine finally managed to take his wand, her own once more under his chin ,,Tell me"

Potter, seeing he didn't have a chance said: ,,Fine! It is all you and your sister! Stop it, just stop it, alright? I've got enough mess with you two! It wasn't enough with her, then another one of you had to come!"

That made Jasmine stop dead: ,,Excuse me?"

,,You heard me. Just let me be." And he marched out of the room, leaving a confused Jasmine behind.
