The Werewolf and The Monster

Chapter 36 - Stubborn

Pandora groaned and sat up, realising she was in the medical wing. "Poppy?" She sighed and swung her legs around. "Poppy!"

Poppy came round the corner and smiled warmly. "Rest dear, I'll tell Mcgonagall and Dumbledore your awake."

"How long was I out for?" Poppy hesitated on answering her question. "Poppy. How long was I asleep?" Her tone more stern.

"Two weeks." Poppy meekly said. Pandora fell silent before letting out a sigh of irritation.

"That means the Death ball is in a week." She groaned and rubbed her eyes from underneath her hair. "Thank you for your help Poppy. I'll be fine."

"The white bird reaper told us that you need to rest though." Poppy approached and gently takes her hands.

"Birdie?" Pandora scoffed a chuckle and smiled. "I'll be fine. I'll take it easy, yada yada yada."

Poppy sighed. "Fine. But take it easy, don't do anything dumb and if your not doing well return immediately."

"Yes captain." Pandora purred while doing the typical sailor salute. Poppy just shook her head and walked off with an amused smile.

Pandora slid off the bed and walked out the room, deep in thought. Hermione spotted Pandora from a distance and quickly ran up.

"Pandora! Your okay!" She sighed and walked in sync with her.

"Hm? Oh yeah I'm fine. Just alittle achy." Pandora smiled at her.

"What you did back there was really cool!" Ron exclaimed trotting up happily.

"Thank you Ron." Pandora looked at him.

"What was the ash about?" Harry questioned as he fell instep with the rest of them.

"When a Grim-Reaper dies or looses their form, they turn to ash." Hermione says before Pandora does.

Pandora hummed with a smile before turning to her. "You truly are the smartest witch in your year. Possibly in all of Hogwarts."

"I'm just glad your okay Pandora." Harry sighed in relief. "We came to see you last week but you were out cold."

"Yeah. Turns out Birdie gave me a very heavy dose of a reaper potion." Pandora pocketed her hands.

"The scythe. Is that your weapon of choice?" Hermione questioned.

Pandora hummed a response. "Mmhmm, But I only got it back recently."

Hermione smiled at her.

"Don't you all have classes to go to?" Pandora said, a smirk tugging on her lips.

"Oh Merlin!" Hermione yelled, the worry entering her tone.

Pandora sighed and shook her head. "What class?"

"Professor Flitwick." Ron sighed.

"Very well. Lets go." She sped up. The golden trio following after. Within acouple minutes they have made their way to the charms classroom.

"Professor Flitwick, Potter, Granger and Weasley were with me." She ushered them in and smiled innocently at the Professor. "Please excuse their absence for the first part of your lesson."

"Oh! Of course Pandora! You three please make sure you arrive to my class on time next time." Filius squeaked away, a smile on his face.

Pandora turned her heel and just stalked off, silently closing the door behind her.

She sighed and walked up to her tower. Muttering her password and walking into the office, raising an eyebrow at the sight of an awaiting Lucius and Narcissa. "Hello you two, what can I help you with?"

Narcissa beamed at the smaller girl. "Nothing dear, Draco wrote to us about what happened and we just wanted to make sure you're okay." Lucius nodded in agreement.

"I'm perfectly fine." She smiled back. "The ball is next week, is Lucius and Draco's dress robes prepared?"

Lucius nodded proudly with a smirk. "Of course, shoes polished and everything."

"I assume you've heard about what happened to Rat aswell? He won't be turning up to the ball now aswell. Absolute moron for challenging me." She scoffed with an amused smile and walked around to the back of her desk and sits in the chair.

"That is all. Just came to make sure you were fit and well." Lucius confirmed. Pandora nodded and waved them off with a smile as they disappeared through the fireplace.

"Clovi!!" She called out, smiling at the house-elf who cheerfully pops next to her with a crack. "Hello my dear. Can you get me a strawberry milkshake? Cold."

"Clovi will be right back!" The small house-elf confidently grins. Disappearing once more and appearing with her hands wrapped around a large glass cup, placing it on her desk. "Is that all Clovi can help master Pandora with?"

She nodded with a smile, patting the adorable house-elf on the head, who concequentally squealed in delight before popping away with another ear ringing crack.

Pandora hummed and sipped her cup, taking a book and flipping open the pages, reading through the words. Reading late into the night until she retreats to her bed.
