Adopted by the malfoys

After Zaria walked out I pulled the iPod out again and put it in my bag. I looked out the window and opened sabbaths cage. I quickly wrote a letter to my mother informing her of how I've been.

"Dear mother,

My time at Hogwarts has been interesting. I've gained friends and enemies for reasons I'm unsure of. I'm sure you've already heard but I'm a Gryffindor.

Draco and I haven't talked much which is okay, I enjoy the break. He said-"

I crossed out the last bit and folded the paper into an envelope and sent it to her.

I laid down on my bed and let the tiredness drown over me.

When I awoke in the morning I looked around to see that everyone was gone. I let out a groan and stretched before getting dressed.

I walked out into the commons and still nobody. I continued walking until I got to the main hall. Everyone was in the dinning hall. I walked in and sat next to George. I looked up at Fred who looked annoyed.

"Hey what time is it?" Fred and George looked confused.

"Did you just wake up?" I look at george with a 'no shit Sherlock' face.

"Hazel....it's already lunch time. You're going to be in serious trouble." I roll my eyes and throw a carrot at Fred. "Ow." He says sarcastically

I feel Someone tapping on my shoulder. I turn around to see cho.

"Did you ask him?" I smile slightly.

"I haven't spoken to him in a couple days. When I see him I'll tell him Mk? I don't see why you don't just ask yourself."

"What was that all about?"

"Mind your business Fred, it's not about you." I look down the table to see Neville looking sad. "Hey Neville!"

He looks up at me and I gesture for him to sit next to us. He slowly and quickly comes over.

"Hey Neville! How's Amy?" Neville smiles.

"Who's Amy?"

"She's my alovera plant, I need her a lot in the summer." I smile and turn around feeling weird. Who names their plants?

Now that I see Neville up close I realized, he's kind of cute. Then again, most of the Gryffindors are. I looked over at Fred and gaze into his eyes, zoning out.

I hear a snapping sound as Fred waves his hand in-front of my face. Fred and I end up staring into each others eyes.

"Ugh, get a room. It's like you two like each other." I laugh.

"Me? Like him? Oh come on. You can't be Sirius." I look over at Fred who looks hurt. "Fred I didn't mean it like that-" he gets up to leave. "Im sorry..."

After our last class I run up to catch up with Cedric who is down the hall.

"Hey Cedric, I gotta talk to you."

"You got two minutes." I roll my eyes.

"You know Cho?" He stops and looks at me. "I'll take that as a yes- anyways, she likes you....like like likes you. She wanted me to set you up so I was wondering if you would go out with her. If it makes you feel better you could go on a double date."

"Double date with who?" I take a second to think.

Couples and people who look like couples run through my mind. Harry and Hermione, Draco and Pansy, crab and goyle, Blaise and Pansy, Fred and- i shut my eyes for a second bracing myself for what I'm about to say.

"Fred and I?" Cedric looks confused.

"You two are together?"

"Well no- not technically but we could go on a double date together. It can be 3 simple- I'll talk to Cho but you have to ask her out. Once you do I'll plan it. Oh and don't worry I'll leave you two alone after about fifteen minutes."

Cedric's face beams and he nods, thanking me. He runs off, probably looking for Cho. I take a second to think before running of to find Hermione.

"What's up?"

"You know that place you go sometimes to get away from everything?"
