"LEAVE OUR CHILDREN ALONE VOLDEMORT," Elvira points her wand shaking, towards the heartless man before her.
"Not Harry. Please not Harry—" the woman behind her begs with her heart and soul.
"Step aside foolish girl,—"
"Harry!"
He jerked back to life lying flat on the classroom floor. He sat up and felt a cold sweat trickling down behind his glasses.
"Are you alright?" Said Lupin.
"Yes..." he pulled himself up on one of the desks and leant against it.
"Here—" the professor handed him a chocolate frog, "eat this," but Harry couldn't. He felt sick and if he had any more food it would be all over the tables in seconds. There was only one thing he wanted—answers.
"Who was that woman," he blurts out.
"I'm sorry.. who?"
"That woman..she-she was there when my mother was killed." Harry looks up to meet Lupin's softening eyes.
"Ah yes. Elvira." The professor replies still in thought.
"You know her?"
"Ofcourse I do dear boy. That was Cora's mother. The reason you are alive today, all thanks to her."
"Could you at least come to Hogsmeade with me?" Laurie begs to her best friend.
"Nope. It's Ravenclaw against Gryffindor next week and I am not losing any chance of winning." Cora explains while tying her shoelaces.
"Come on Cora! You're acting like you even have a chance—Gryffindor has the best players school! George, Fred. Especially Fred, you'd get lost in his eyes mid match—"
"No I wouldn't."
"You would and Harry! He's got a freaking Firebolt. Cho has no chance."
"Gee Laurie. It's like you're hoping for us to lose." Cora says, grabbing her broom from the side and beginning her journey out of the changing room with Laurie following her.
"No it's not like that—"
Cora gives her a look.
"Maybe it is that but I'm just stating the truth. And why you should hang out with me instead of quidditch."
"Fine i'll do one round and ill meet you in thirty minutes." Cora sighs to her best friend.
"Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!" Laurie squeals and attacks her best friend in a hug.
The duo entered the Three broomsticks and was blessed with the smell of butterbeer. They find a table just for the two of them and order a butterbeer.
"Well two wrongs never make a right," Cora states as she sips from her beer.
"Well leo cheated on two girls and they became best friends," Laurie shrugs.
"Except that." Cora laughs. Before she could take another sip a cough from her left interrupted her.
"Oh Hi Cedric," she smiles at the boy next to her.
"Hello Cora. Um—how—how are you?"
"Im good?" Laurie notices the awkwardness in Cedric's face and makes the decision to flee.
"I'm gonna go and find Kyle...bye." But before Cora could answer she ran.
"Come have a seat. I'm sure whatever you need is important." Cora smiles bitterly at the boy as he grabs a chair.
