Elise's POV:
My eyes were fixed on the chair next to Jake. Why did Tom tense? Why did my heart escalate? This was all confusing. I tossed and turned all night. What was he planning for the final year? An attack? On who? Why?
"Yo Earth to Elise" Cassy snaps her fingers in front of my face. I quickly snap out of my trance and look up at Cassy. "I'm sorry Cassy. I didn't get much sleep last night" I sigh and stare at my food. I wasn't hungry at all.
"what's up Elise?" Black sits in front of me and smiles. "The sky" I sarcastically state. "Hilarious." Black rolls his eyes.
A sudden tap on my shoulder causes my body to jump up and yelp. My body was tensed and I was violently shaking. "Wow are you okay? I'm so sorry" it was Malfoy. "I-it's okay I'm just on edge." I stutter as I try and calm my rapid breathing.
"Look Elise I'm so sorry for earlier. The way I acted was wrong and I was wondering if we could start over?" Malfoy asks. His eyes flickering from
Me to the floor. "I'm sorry too. Here" I hold my hand out for him to shake "Hello I'm Elise Hawthorn" a huge smile is wiped onto his face "hello I'm Abraxas Malfoy" we shake hands and chuckle.
"Wanna sit with us?" I ask. "Sure. Why not? Since we are friends and all" the four of us sit together for the rest of breakfast. Joking,laughing and gossiping. The whole Hall stared at us when we laughed rather loudly. The teachers would send us strange looks.
"Okay okay. I want to show you something cool" I calm my laughter and hold my hand flat out in front of me. I begin to summon my ice magic. A small ice bird is formed and I send it flying in the air. Fluttering around the students heads, some First years screamed and the final year all gaped at it.
"That is so fucking cool" Cassy stares at the bird as it swoops down to the other end of the Slytherin table. I follow her gaze but my eyes meet almost black ones. Tom was staring at me. A ghost of a smile is on his lips. I send him my best smile.
"Miss Hawthorn" a stern voice boomed. My bird, frightened at the sudden sound plunges into the table, sending out hundreds of small ice shards.
I turn my head to Headmaster Dippet, he scowls at me, not amused by my bird causing a mess. "Dippet" I smile a sickly sweet smile at him. "And what to you think you are doing? Casting magic that advanced?" He folds his arms, unamused. A suds me surge of adrenaline pumps through me. The words tumbled out before I could even process them.
"I was doing something clever. Just because you couldn't do it at my age doesn't mean you should stop me" I snarl fiercely at him. "Get out" he growls. "Dumbledore is expecting you in his class for your private session. GET OUT OF MY HALL" Dippet screams the last part and I storm out. Slamming the great doors by magic on my way out.
*************
"Again" Dumbledore says sternly, but with a hint of kindness. I was exhausted. Dumbledore had been stretching my magic for the past 4 hours. I had missed all my other lessons but I was ahead in all of them so it didn't exactly matter.
I being to conjure my magic again. Wandless Magic. I was trying to tame my magic. But every time I think I have it under control. Dumbledore would bring up a memory and my magic would go mad. I couldn't control it.
"Your brother will never forgive you" he would say. That's when it would just anger me. I knew it was true. So I would end up burning the room down.
"I think that is enough for today Elise. It's time for dinner, run along" Dumbledore dismissed me. I grabbed my bag and ran to the Great Hall.
Cassy was happily talking to the boys. Meaning Black, Malfoy and Jake. I smile brightly at them and sit down next to Black. "Hello" I whisper to Black.
"Elise is here" Everyone looks at me with stupid grins on their faces. "what?" I ask. "Tom has been asking us all day where you have been. It's becoming an obsession" Cassy says, my heart flutters. Tom was asking for me. "Well what did he say?" I ask, eagerly.
Cassy eyes me.
"You know...stuff" she speaks slowly. "Like-" I was interrupted by someone clearing their throat. We all in sync turn to the noise, which was located behind me.
Speak of the devil and he appears.
"Elise" Tom greets me in his formal form. "Tom" I reply in an equal formal manner. "Where were you today" he asks. Ignoring the glares of Cassy and Jake, who were not happy about his constant persistence.
"I was with Dumbledore. Private lessons." I give him a small smile. "Well we have study tomorrow at 5 do not forget or be late" his words have a heated warning. "Am I ever" I state.
"Good evening" that ghost of a smile appears on his perfect lips. "And to you" before I finish my sentence he disappears. I turn back to the group. Black and Malfoy were looking at each other. They looked as if they were sharing a thought. Cassy and Jake were glaring at me.
"Speak of the devil and he appears" Cassy grumbles. "He is creepy" Jake mutters.
Something must of happened today between Cassy, Jake and Tom.
