The 7th Generation

Chapter 6

I sat in the very front of the stands with the other Slytherins. First, the Slytherin team walked out. We all cheered while the Ravenclaws, Hufflepuffs, and Gryffindors booed. Then, the Gryffindors came out. I saw the captain, Oliver Wood, and the chasers, Angelina Johnson, Alicia Spinnet, and Katie Bell. Then came the Seeker, who happened to be the great Harry Potter. I still don't understand how he got on the team. Oh, wait, because he is Harry Potter. Then the Beaters. I saw Fred and George fly out. Hold up. The twins are on the team! What the heck! I am going to kill those prats! Ok, I won't and I can't.

The match was terrible, at least for Slytherin. Potter provided some entertainment by nearly killing himself. He ended up puking out the Snitch, making Gryffindor win the match.

Whatever.

I hurriedly got down from the stands and ran towards the changing rooms. I grabbed a piece of parchment from my bag and ripped off a piece. I got out a quill and ink and quickly jotted down a note to George to meet at the place as before at 11:00 tonight. I folded it and wrote "For George Weasely's eyes only. All others will be hexed into oblivion." on the paper. I threw it into the Gryffindor changing room and ran away from that spot, praying that no one saw me. I stood behind a wall, peeking out of the corner to see if anyone saw the note. I whipped out my wand and cast a charm that would enable me to hear the conversations that were happening in the Gryffindor changing room. I placed my wand's tip near my ear and listened. I heard a female voice. "I still don't understand why you broke up with me. There was nothing wrong between us." That must've been Angelina Johnson, George's ex-girlfriend. "Angelina, I already told you. I don't have feelings for you. I started liking someone else before the school year started. Just forget about it. Just be happy that we were together last year." That was George's voice. I felt a stinging in my right eye and then I felt something go down my right cheek. I placed my hand against my skin and felt water. I knew why. I liked George, and according to my spell, he liked someone. There was no way that the girl is me. Going back to the discussion in the changing room, I heard a new voice. Fred's voice. "Shut up, both of you. Ang, we talked about this. George isn't going to take you back. He's into someone else. And he really, really likes her. Find someone else." Tears started streaming down my face. I kept listening. I heard another female voice. It was higher than Johnson's. "Ok, Angelina, try your chance at Lee. The entire school knows that he likes you. Also, do you guys know what this paper is? It's for George." They found it. Good. "Me? Open it." Oh no, oh no, oh no. "I won't. It says that anyone who reads it besides George will be hexed into oblivion. I kinda value my life." I heard laughter. People started filing out. I snuck into a nearby broom closet and placed my ear next to the door. I heard a male voice muttering something. It was Fred. "Angelina should really move on. George won't like her again, now that he's into- well, even saying it is weird. I can't believe George would like her!" More tears leaked out of the corner of my eyes. Hoping that George would show up tonight, I stepped out of the broom closet and ran to the Slytherin common room. I held back as many tears as possible. I ran up to the dormitory and threw myself onto the bed. I closed and silenced the curtains in case anyone came inside. However, I wasn't fast enough, because Tori came inside and saw my red eyes. She ran to my bed, wrenched open the curtains, and plopped down on my bed.

"What's wrong?" I didn't know if I should tell her or not. I should, she's my only Slytherin friend.

"Well," I started in a thick voice. "This is going to sound stupid, but I just found out that the person who I like is into someone else."

Tori raised her eyebrows. "How is that stupid?" I internally groaned. "Well, it's because of you I like. I like... a Gryffindor." I finished with a whisper. Tori's eyes widened and she asked, in a frantic voice, "Which Gryffindor? Is it a Weasley?" How to hell did she know? I nodded. Tori flopped down on the bed and covered her face with her hands. I heard a muffled, "Which one?" I really didn't want to tell her, but, I had no choice. "George Weasley." Right after saying it, I groaned and pushed my face into my pillow. I felt Tori's hand on my shoulder pulling me up. I looked at her and was instantly confused. Tori was grinning widely.

"Lucky you. Because I like a Weasely too. Fred Weasely in fact." My jaw dropped onto the ground. Tori likes my crush's twin? My best friend likes my crush's brother! I picked my jaw up off the ground and we both squealed. We both had a crush on a Gryffindor Weasely twin.

Later at 9, I was laying down on my bed, reading a muggle book called "Wonder". I loved it. Suddenly, I felt a surge of anger. I'm not sure why, but I suddenly felt angry. As quick as it came, it left. I shut the curtains around my bed and stared into my book's cover. Then, images flooded over the blue and white picture on the book cover. I saw Bellatrix again, with Voldemort. And they were talking. Again. Big surprise. "My Lord, my Lord. I just relized something. That girl. The Slytherin mudblood. I think I know how she got magic in her veins. She might be-"

At that moment, the curtains around my bed were flung open and I saw Daphne and Pansy staring at me. I took a deep breath and asked, "What's up?" They grinned and Pansy said, "Well, Daphne and I are planning to have a girl's night this weekend." I smiled. That would be fun. I nodded. "I'm all in! Is To- Astoria gonna be there?" Daphne nodded and they both walked out gossiping about who knows what.

I mentally cursed them both. Bellatrix was about to give some crucial information about me. Oh well. I remembered that I was going to meet with George in 2 hours, so I went back to reading my book.
