I'm Okay

Chapter 23

     They were true to their word. The twins are definitely better than their brothers, Ron and Percy. They would've questioned me for five hours just to say no because I'm a Slytherin. I thanked them in my first meeting, but I'm also glad they don't seem to want to leave my side as I keep getting glared at by everyone else in the room. I want to think better of them to not attack me behind my back, but I don't trust them.

     Where we're going against a magically controlled mannequin. Only a few have been able to knock it down when it became my turn. I walked up onto the stage when it activated like everyone else. I was about to cast the spell at it when I sensed one coming at me from my left.

     I placed a shield around me, which absorbed the spell. I turned to look when the mannequin cast a spell at me. The shield absorbed it. I dropped the guard and casted expluso at it, watching it explode into millions of pieces, looking like dust.

     I turned back to the crowd for a second to see who cast the spell before walking back to my spot on the right side. The twins and Lee congratulated me before Lee stepped up to have his turn.

     I had owled Blaise, Draco, and Theo to meet me in the common room at midnight, and I'm now waiting for them to come down. If they don't come down in five minutes, I will walk into their dorms and drag them out of bed. Salazar had put spells on both the boys' and girls' stairs so the other gender couldn't enter the other gender's dormitories if they had bad intentions. Luckily, the reason I would drag them out of bed isn't a bad reason. So nothing could stop me. 

    Unfortunately, Blaise and Draco are being dragged down the stairs by Theo. Now I can't do that.

     "Why did we have to get out of bed this late at night? Don't you know there's a game tomorrow?" Draco complained.

     I rolled my eyes before telling them to follow me while walking out of the common room. I walked to the Room of Requirements. I told them to stay where the door would appear and walked up and down the corridor three times before it appeared.

     We walked inside before I started talking. "This is the Room of Requirements."

     "RoR. This is where Dumbledor's army has been meeting," Blaise said.

     "Yes. You tell Umbitch about this and I will take blood from you," I said, looking directly at Draco. He gulped before I continued. 

     "We meet up here to practice spells Umbridge won't teach. They also train for when Voldemort attacks."

     "What's your reason for telling us this?" Theo asks.

     "It wouldn't be the worst thing for you three, especially, to join." 

     "You mean be treated like we've already chosen our sides and listen to Harry be worshiped? No thanks," Draco said.

     "First, I don't think I've ever heard you say thanks. Secondly, you are not listening. Think about everything I've told you."

     There was silence before Theo said, "Voldemort attacks. When is he going to attack?"

     "I don't know and that's not how that works. Snap will explain it to you how it works. This will also help you build their trust."

     They nodded before Draco sighed and said, "I have to be nice to the Weasleys."
