Book Two: My Forever Love

Chapter Thirty Three

Edeline’s P.O.V
It was finally the night of Slughorn’s Dinner Party and Harry, Myself and Hermione had walked there together and saw that Cormack, Blaise and a few others were already there and we talked amongst ourselves before everyone else arrived and began to eat and all I can think about was what mum had told me the other night before desert was served and Slughorn began to ask questions to get to know us better, “so tell me Cormack, do you see anything of your uncle Tibereus these days?” Slughorn asked him, “yes sir, in fact I’m meant to go hunting with him and the Minister for Magic over the Holiday.” Cormack to him, “oh well, be sure to give them both my best. What about your uncle Bellby? For those of you who don’t know, Marcus’s Uncle invented the Wolfsbane Potion. Is he working on anything new?” Slughorn said, “I don't know. Him and my dad don’t get on. Probably because my dad's potions are rubbish. His only potion worth having is the stiff one at the end of the day.” Marcus said, “what about you Miss Granger, what exactly does your family do in the Muggle world?” Slughorn said, “my parents ar dentist’s. They tend to people’s teeth.” she told him, “fascinating. And is that considered a dangerous profession?” Slughorn said to her, “no. although one boy, Robbie Fenwick did bite my father once. He needed Ten stitches.” Hermione said to Slughorn just before the door opened and saw that it was Ginny as she walked in, “is she alright? Did she and Dean have another fight?” I asked Hermione, “I think so.” she said before talking with Harry, “ah, Miss Weasley. Come in, come in.” Slughorn said to her as she closed the door, “sorry, I’m ot usually late.” Ginny said before Harry stood up before eventually sitting back down. Once dinner was over for the night, we all left Slughorn’s Room, “I’ll see you in the Common Room Hermione.” I told her, “alright, see you later.” she said before I decided to go for a walk through an empty Hallway before bumping into Malfoy, “how are you doing? You look rather tired.” I asked him, “I’m fine love” he said before caressing my cheek, “where did you come from?” he asked me, "Slughorn had a dinner party not too long ago, I just left from there.” I told him and there was a moment of silence before I spoke up again, “are you sure that you’re alright love? You just seem really tired.” I asked him, “I am a little tired but I’ll be alright.” he said and I sighed a little before he had done what he was supposed to before the both of us just spent time together for a while before we had gone back to our Common Rooms for the rest of the night.

It was another day and it was another Quidditch Match and everyone was in the Great Hall as I was making my way there with Ron, “you alright mate?” I asked him, “I don’t know to be honest.” he said as we made it into the Great Hall, “everything will be fine. You’ll do great.” I told him before making my way to my spot and sat in front of Hermione before Ron sat down next to me, “so how was it then?” he asked us, “how was what?” Hermione asked him, “your dinner party.” Ron mentioned, “Pretty boring actually. Though I think Harry enjoyed desert” Hermione said and I chuckled a little, “I agree.” I said to them, “Slughorn is having Christmas Dew you know. And we’re meant to bring someone.” Hermione mentioned, “I expect you’ll be bringing Mclagan. He’s in the Slug Club isn’t he?” Ron said to us, “she wasn’t going to ask him.” I told Ron, “she’s right, I was going to ask you.” Hermione told him, “really?” Ron questioned before Lavender came up to him, “good luck today Ron. I know you’ll be brilliant.” she said to him before walking away, “my god, I think she has a thing for you Ron” I said to him, “I’m resigning. After today’s Match, Mclagan will have my spot.” Ron said to us, “relax Ron, you’ll be fine.” I told him, “have it your way. Truce.” Harry said before giving Ron a glass before I noticed Luna sit down next to me, “hello everyone. You look dreadful Ron. is that why you put something in his cup?” Luna said and I nearly choked on what I was drinking, “Harry, what is she talking about?” I asked him, “is it a Tonic?” Luna asked him, “Liquid Luck.” Hermione mentioned, “Bloody Hell Harry. He’s going to need it to be honest if he keeps sulking the entire time.” I said to them, “don’t drink it Ron.” Hermione said and I smiled, “please do. I hope it works.” I said to him, “you could be expelled for this.” Hermione said to Harry, “it will be worth it.” I said to her, “I don’t know what you’re talking about.” Harry told Hermione, “Come on Harry, Edeline, we’ve got a game to win.” Ron said as he got up and Harry and I had done the same before we eventually made it out onto the field with the of the team as everyone was already out there as well before the game eventually started and eventually I had the ball and before eventually getting a goal into one of the hoops but at some point when I had the ball once again, someone from the Slytherin team managed to bump into me, causing me to lose control and fall off my broom and landed on the ground causing me to break my arm.
