Black's Prophecy || Book 3

Ten

Cordelia sighed in relief and pulled her leather jacket closer, "you are still onto that?" Cian asked. Annoyed, Cordelia furrowed her eyebrows as her hand went upto the ciggerate clasped between her lips.

"When did you get here?" She asked.

"When you were busy smoking." Another voice joined in the conversation and Cordelia turned.

"Seff..." She acknowledged.

He nodded back and sat beside her, immediately leaning against her. "Well, it's been three days and students think I let him in. So I needed to clear my mind." She said, swinging a hand over Jay's shoulder.

Enzo sat on her other side and put his head on her lap. "Well then, got another fag?" Cordelia smirked and handed him another.

He brought it up to his lips and held his hand out, Cordelia rolled her eyes and handed him her lighter. "Do you want one as well?" She asked Dane.

"We'll share." He said, looking expectantly at Enzo. He just shrugged and handed the stick to him.

"Why do it alone then? We do it with you.." he said. Cordelia shrugged, "not necessarily."

"How did you even find me here?" She asked looking in front of her at the scenery. She was sitting in the astronomy tower.

"First, it happens to be the place you go to everytime and second, i thought we gave up on our privacy when we made these." Julius said cheekily pointing at his ring.

Cordelia rolled her eyes.

She took in the final puff and crushed her butt against the railing, "let's go. We need to get to class." She checked her watch and stood up abruptly causing Julius and Enzo to crash against each other.

"Ow!" They groaned.

"Moon's tomorrow." Remus said, glancing at Julius who looked paler then usual. He himself wasn't any better. Cordelia nodded, and raked her fingers through Dane's hair, calming him.

"Will you take care of him? I had a meeting with Castor at twelve thirty and seeing it's twelve twenty, i should be off. Will you be alright?" She asked the last bit to Julius. He nodded and waved her off, "I have them." He said, pointing at Enzo and Remus.

"Ok." She said and climbed out of the portrait. It was their free period so instead of being in the common room, they visited Remus. Cordelia walked peacefully and started thinking, why was it that Castor meant so much to her? He is her friend, but is that it?

She snapped out of her thoughts as she reached the potions classroom to see a bunch of students racing out of the room to get to the great hall. "Hungry much?" Cordelia commented as Ginny came out with Luna.

They laughed. "Starving." Ginny said. "Where's the bunny?" Cordelia asked. Ginny grimaced, "he's in there with Snape."

Cordelia raised an eyebrow, "what did he do?" Ginny chuckled, "he's a nightmare honestly in potions so they are having a talk. Anyways, we better go, he told us he has a meet with you." Cordelia nodded and stepped aside to let them through, she waited a few seconds and the door opened revealing a nervous Castor and a scowling Snape.

His scowl vanished as soon as he saw you and he said, "Cordelia can give you lessons." He drawled and Castor looked up in surprise, "really? Will you?" He asked, expectantly.

"Hmm." Cordelia hummed.

He jumped in excitement, "thank you!" He hugged her and her serious face melted right away into a surprised face and she pulled away, "there, there bunny boy, no need to get excited. It will be hard dealing with me."
