The Witches Curse / George Weasley

Chapter 22

Tris made her way back to the Gryffindor common room. She made her way up the stairs and into the girl's dormitory. She quickly changed into some more comfortable clothes and walked straight over to her desk. She opened her potions book and began scanning every page looking for any kind of potion that triples the counterreaction of a spell.

In her potions book, she found the ingredients for the aging potion that the twins probably used. She read over the ingredients and read how the potion was supposed to look and smell when it was correctly brewed. If brewed correctly, it should smell like mint. Almost like toothpaste. She picked up one of the vials and smelled it. The first one smelled like mint so she knew it was made correctly.

She put the first one down and picked up the second one. When she put the vial up to her nose, she instantly noticed a different smell. It smelled like mint, but also smelled like something else. She couldn't figure out what the smell was but she knew it was different. She knew the twins probably didn't pay attention to the smell, which is why they didn't realize that one of them smelled different from the other.

Then suddenly it clicked. Rose and Susan knew that George had quidditch practice today. Today was their last practice before the start of the Triwizard Tournament. They probably grabbed the vial from his school bag and spiked it before he came back.

She was so angry and she slammed her book on the desk and clenched her fists. She turned her chair around and bent over putting her head in her hands. She wanted to cry out of frustration and anger. All of this happened all because George liked Tris instead of Susan. Susan's jealousy was so outrageous that she was willing to do anything and everything to get to both Tris and George.

Tris then started to cry out of frustration and also because the guy she cared most for, got hurt. George is such an important factor in Trista's life, and she couldn't stand seeing him hurt. All because he liked her instead of Susan.

As she continued to cry, she heard feet coming up the stairs of the girls dormitory. Hermione and Ginny slowly peeked their heads around the door and saw Tris crying. They walked over to her and stood her up from the chair. Tris didn't hesitate and just felt numb inside. Ginny and Hermione then helped her to the bed and sat her down. Tris then leaned over on Ginny's shoulder and started crying even harder.

After a few minutes of silence and crying, Tris finally calmed herself down. She looked up at Ginny and Hermione and informed them on everything she knew and everything she thought. They believed Tris when she told them about how she knew Susan and Rose were behind all of this. They didn't even second guess her. Apparently Susan did this a lot when she didn't get her way with something, and Rose was always the one to cause the mischief.

"I can't believe Snape is allowing his own daughter to do this. Even though he's over the Slytherin house, that doesn't give him the right to just allow his students to purposely hurt people." Hermione said. "Exactly, but we can't go to Dumbledore about this because he'll take Snape's side over mine. I have to find a way to stop this." Tris said. "No, we have to find a way to stop this." Ginny said.

Tris then looked over at Ginny and gave her a slight smile. "Oh I almost forgot. George is asking for you by the way. We went to check on him and he asked if we would come and get you." Ginny said breaking the silence and changing the subject. "Really? He's asking for me?" Tris said trying to hide that smile that so desperately wanted to creep onto her face. "Of course he is. He didn't even ask for his siblings. He asked for you." Hermione said smiling at her.

Tris then felt her cheeks blush and she tried to hide it but was unsuccessful. "Right, well, umm, I should probably get going then." she said standing to her feet and making her way to the stairs. "We'll follow you out." Ginny said right behind Tris. The three girls then walked down to the common room and out into the hallways.
