Blood Rose

Chapter 8

I looked at the notice in the common room. Flying lessons started Thursday and Slytherin and Gryffindor would be learning together. Everyone groaned but me. I was bubbling with excitement.

"Typical, just what I wanted to make a fool of myself in front of Malfoy." Said Harry darkly. I managed to glare at him.

"You don't know you'll make a fool of yourself. Anyways, I know Malfoy's always going on about how good he is at Quidditch, but I bet that's all talk." Ron said.

"Ron's right, I can tell you right now that all Draco's stories are fibs. Harry, riding a broomstick is the most wonderful feeling in the world." I gushed. The Weasley twins came up to me.

"Are you with us?" Fred asked.

"We sent you the plan." George said.

"Yes!" I said with a grin.

"Avery , there's a note for you." Cara said handing me a note. I read it.

"Harry, you and I have to go see Snape." I said. Harry and I went to Snape's office. We stepped into the office. Pansy and Draco sat in two seats.

" Ms. Malfoy, Potter, how nice to see you." Greeted Snape, his eyes glittered with anger. He used sarcasm, it's the end of the world. Pansy shot me a smug look. Draco looked a bit upset.

"Ms. Parkinson was just telling me how it was you who gave me Sleeping Draught." Snape said. I gave him my best innocent look, struggling for a story.

"She's lying." Blurted Draco. I struggled to keep up my act. Draco defending me! Maybe I shouldn't let imps loose in the Slytherin common room. Nope, I can't let Fred and George down like that.

"He's right sir." Agreed Harry. Now Snape looked unsure.

"Pansy gave it to you sir." Draco said ignoring Pansy.

"Ms. Parkinson for lying to me, five points from Slytherin. And for giving me Sleeping Draught detention all week." Snape said, gesturing for us to leave. We left. Once we reached the hall way, Pansy turned her tear streaked face to me.

"I hate you." Pansy hissed before running off. Now I remember what I did. It was rather late and I had just gotten back from the kitchen. Those elves are darling. So are Fred and George for telling me about the kitchen.

"I think I'm in love with you Draco." Whispered Pansy. Puh-lease, she just loves his money. I walked over to them.

"Brother, you could do so much better." I groaned.

"Who are you?" Pansy hissed clenching her fists.

"Pansy this is my half-sister. Avery this is my girlfriend." Draco said.

"Oh, now I remember you! What were you and Goyle doing last night?" I asked.

"You're cheating on me?" He growled.

"She's not cheating on you, she has cheated on you. Past tense." I said smiling. My smile twisted cruelly as I felt my brother's pain. I held my wand to her throat.

"Furnunculus." I hissed, boils appeared all over her.

(End of flash back.)

"Thank you." I said.

"You're welcome." The boys said walking away. Back in the dorm some people were still awake.

"Let's play truth or dare!" I said. The girls agreed and we sat on the floor, I went first,

"Truth or dare Summer?" I asked.

"Dare." She said.

"I dare you to kiss Fred." I said. We went to the common room.

"Fred," Summer said. He turned to her, she leaned over and gave him a kiss. We all giggled as we ran up the stairs.

"Avery truth or dare?" Summer asked.

"Dare." I said.

"I dare you to kiss George." Summer said. I skipped down the steps. I went over to George and kissed him. I went back to the girls.

"Truth or dare?" Hermione asked Cara.

"Truth." Cara said. I guess she didn't want to kiss anyone.

"Is it true that you have a crush on Harry?" Hermione asked. I laughed as Cara's ears turned pink. I went to bed, bone weary all the sudden.
