Chapter Eleven

(smut warning)

Ever since I started reading about Legilimency and Occlumency I haven't been able to stop. Any time I have any free time, I read, wanting- no, needing to know more. If professor Snape didn't want me to read more about it, why would he give me a book about it in the first place.

I've yet to discover exactly why he wanted me to read the book, but I know I will find out soon... I can feel it; I know I'm getting closer and closer to the truth and I know I have to prepare myself. Sometimes the truth hurts, and I, for one, refuse to let it hurt.

"Ready to watch Potter drown in the black lake today?" Draco asks no one in particular, snapping me out of my thoughts. "What makes you so sure he is going to drown? He has ran into some pretty dangerous things and still hasn't managed to die yet," Blaise says, chuckling at his last sentence. "He has a point. Potter just can't seem to die... maybe he will just loose terribly," Pansy adds, adding her last sentence to make up for Draco's disappointment to the first.

"Better to see him make a fool of himself then nothing I suppose," Draco replies, un-bothered by Blaise and Pansy's statements. "I don't think I'm going to go," I announce. "Yes you are," Draco doesn't give me a choice in the matter. "You aren't the boss of me. I dont want to go," I say more sternly.

"You've been in your dorm by yourself for weeks- other then for classes or when one of us make you come out for a meal. You're going... and last time I checked, I am the boss...' he leans in closer to whisper in my ear. 'Or do I need to remind you?" He asks quietly, as to not allow the others around us to hear. I laugh in a sarcastic manner, "Last time I checked, Ivy has her own dorm now and unless I'm invited to join in on the fun, get a room," Theo says before stuffing his face with eggs and sausage.

We all roll our eyes, tired of Theo's perverted comments. "Merlin Theo, could you please just get yourself a girlfriend so you can stop with the comments," I say in a disgusted voice. "Hey, I offered to let Pansy take me for a spin, but unfortunately for her she declined the once in a lifetime offer," Theo replies, his mouth full of food; Pansy snorts in disgust, probably wanting nothing more then to slap him.

"Why do you want me to go so bad anyway? The only thing you will be doing is sitting there and waiting. Why don't you take crabbe and goyle with you instead? You're friends with them right?" I ask him, loading my fork with eggs. "No I am not friends with those gits... they were dead weight so I tossed them aside. As for you, you don't get a choice in the matter. Although, I may bring you back early," he informs me. I, once again, roll my eyes.

Once breakfast is over, everyone starts clearing out and going to the Black Lake. "What do you reckon the task is?" Blaise asks curiously, "I dunno, but I heard Cedric Diggory talking about having to breathe underwater," I tell him as I avoid getting trampled by the twins yelling about placing bets. "I say good luck with that. There aren't many things that can help you breathe underwater. Unless you're part mermaid I reckon," Draco says, obviously having no idea how someone could breathe underwater.

"Whatever it is, Harry is sure to figure it out. I thought for sure that the dragon was going to kill him, but somehow he made it," I say, partially confused on how he always manages to survive the most dangerous situations. "I'm sure he'll lose eventually," Draco says shortly.

We all get on small rowboats and go to a giant platform far out on the lake. Dispite the platform being extremely crowded, Draco still manages to get himself a chair. "What? We will be waiting a while," he says to me, I roll my eyes as he pats his legs, silently telling me to sit on his lap. Not wanting to stand the entire time, I don't object and sit comfortably on top of his legs. "Not going to share I see," Theo says to us, going over to stand with Pansy and Blaise. Before budding out of their conversation, I hear Pansy ask where Leila is.
