- The Hufflepuff Princess -

Chapter 17

"Here, put this in the bag."

"Here you go."

"Nope, not that."

"Don't forget it!"

Elyse and Draco were currently sitting in the empty Transfiguration classroom. They were packing a backpack for each of them. Not knowing how long they would be gone for, they were packing a change of clothes, food, water, and of course their wands.

"How are we going to get there?" Elyse asked putting her wand in her bag.

"Already figured it out. You've flown on a broom before right?" Draco put a water bottle in his bag.

"A few times, I'm not very good though." Elyse confessed.

Draco rolled his eyes at her. "Something is better then nothing."

Herbology Class

"Class Dismissed!" Professor Sprout said and everyone walked out.

Elyse stayed back to help clean up, and she was putting a shovel away when she heard three voices.

"What are you talking about Harry?"

"You don't believe that do you?"

"He's trying to trick you."

Elyse stood up and Harry, Ron, and Hermione stopped talking.

"Hey guys! Can you pass me that glove over there?" Elyse asked pointing to a brown glove left on the table.

"Uhh yeah, sure." Ron picked up the glove and handed it to Elyse.

"How long have you been there?" Harry asked.

"Harry! Don't be rude." With that, Hermione slapped Harry across the head with her parchment paper.

"Geeze Hermione." Harry wined, rubbing the side of his head.

Elyse continued to clean up from class, and Harry, Ron, and Hermione stood there awkwardly.

"Are you guys going to help or what?" Elyse asked not stopping from cleaning up.

"Ehh, we have to go to our next class, Potions, you know." Ron said, grabbing Harry and Hermione's arms and practically dragging them out of the Greenhouse.

Three days later

"Uno!" Daphne yelled, putting her card on the pile.

Daphne, Astoria, Blaise, Elyse, and Pansy were playing a game of Uno. Elyse had to teach them how to play and Pansy was actually being nice for once.

Elyse looked at her friends laughing with each other having a great time when she looked up at the clock on the wall and gasped.

"I've got to go." Elyse said.

"Where? It's Saturday. There's no school tomorrow." Astoria questioned.

"I've got homework. From Snape and McGonagall." Elyse said, standing up.

"Have fun." Daphne said continuing to play the game.

Elyse left the room and closed the door. She didn't like lying to her friends, but she wanted to go to the Ministry.

She quickly went to her dorm room and picked up her backpack from her bed and ran out of the common room.
