Wicked Games | Harry Potter

12.

> Aerith,

So out of the whole experience, the wolf exploding was the most frightning part, although the wound it left on Jordyn was pretty scary too. Luckily I have no fear of blood or else it would have been a huge problem

I stare at professor Steele and then back at Jordyn, how did I not see the similarities between the two of them? I really feel like a stupid Ravenclaw.

"So professor what is your middle name" I ask trying to create conversation. It was too quiet for my liking so I wanted some change to happen.

He gives me a light chuckle. "Are you flirting with me Miss Delaurox".

I quickly shake my head. "No sir don't get me wrong, I was just being curious since Jor's middle name is Ivy" I quickly tell him.

He and Jordyn start to laugh softly. "Don't worry about him Aerith, he's just joking around like always".

Suddenly I feel an arm wrap itself around my shoulders. "Besides she's mine. Even professor Kang sees it since he put us together".

Forgot to mention that double trouble - the H duo Hawkins & Hemmings - was following us to the medical wing. They insisted on coming along since they were present when it happened.

"Get off of me" I mutter as I try to break free from Zelo's embrace.

Professor Steele gives us an amused look. "Actually Woo put the two of you together as a challenge, he saw that the two of you could either form the perfect team or could destroy his classroom. Ah young love".

I see the look Jordyn is giving him, something that tells me that she knows more about her brother's situation then he is aware off.

"His middle name is Jackson" Jordyn says with a smirk.

Guess she didn't forget my brother yet. "That's my brother's name as well. Although dad calls him Junior".

"Why" Zelo asks while not being a tiny bit curious of the answer, but why the heck did he ask me in the first place?

"Because his initials are J and R so turned it into Junior" I reply simply. How does he call my brother? Jack? Ray? J?

Anyway we arrived at the medical wing where Nurse Imbruglia was sorting her medical supplies until she heard the door open. As soon as professor's Steele hands reached of the handle the door was already swung open. I swear this woman has the hearing of a mouse, so good. Without saying anything nurse Imburglia grabs the good arm of Jordyn before dragging her behind her to one of the beds.

"No need to tell me what happened dear"she says with a slight accent. "Headmaster Crawford already told me everything. Now first I'll disinfect it and it might sting a bit".

She turns to Zelo and Hawkins guy to come to her. "You two be dears and hold her hands so she has something to squeeze in".

They look startled at first but Hawkins was the first to offer her his hand. "Of course".

Zelo just shrugs before grabbing my hand with his free hand. I wanted to ask why but he cut me off.

"Don't speak Aerith, let's stay quiet so I can zone out the pain she will give me".

I raise my eyebrows while nurse Imburglia starts to wipe her arm with a cloth. Jordyn keeps her mouth shut while squeezing the hands of the two guys.

"Damn you squeeze like a construction worker" Zelo comments with a straight face. Wait if she does squeeze like an construction worker, why isn't he in pain.

"I guess the nurse has to amputate my hand after this" Hawkins says, looking more in 'pain' then Zelo.

"Why aren't you crying of the pain" I ask Zelo bluntly.

He grins as he squeezes my hand softly. "Because I have a little brother with whom I fight with often and yes I mean physical. He should be lucky that he isn't stuck in this school yet" he says almost proud of fighting his brother. "We used to do close combat secretly" he adds with a wink.

Was all of this impressive? Should I feel impressed? Only thing I feel is hungry in all honesty.

"Geez how tough and manly" I say sarcastically.

He bends forward as I feel his warm breath tickle my neck. "If your brother is away one night I can show you how rough and manly I really am".

I look at him in horror. What was he going with all of this?

To distract myself I look at Jordyn whose arm is now bandaged. "Okay Miss Steele, I want you to stay here for the night just in case it's infected" the nurse says as she gives her a quick shot. "I just gave you some antibiotics so any animals diseases should be exterminated by the vaccine"

Jordyn just nods before letting go of the hands of the guys before the nurse let's her lay down on the bed.

"For now just rest. It's the best medicine I can offer you right now".

With that she walks off to do other nurse things I suppose. Maybe looking for herbs or something else in that direction.

"You are going to be fine" Hawkins as he puts his hand on her arm with a sly smirk. This guy is planning something I tell you!

"What was your name again" Zelo asks bluntly. "I don't remember you telling me".

He gives her that famous poker face of him.

"It's Jordyn Steele, mister Poker Face"

He shakes his head. "It's Zelo Grey Hemmings".

"Ah a modern version of Fifty Shades of Grey".

The three of us look at her not knowing what she is talking about.

"Ah never mind. You people are too full blood to even understand what I am talking about. But fancy name you got there Grey" she says with a grin.

"It's Zelo Hemmings or Zelo Grey, not just Grey".

He then turns to me. "You owe me".

I laugh softly, also because I feel awkward. "I owe you nothing".
