All are the same

[Chapter 12]

We stood by the lake again, I pushed my blonde hair out of my face, behind my ears and looked at him.

He looked at the ground "alright now, choose a stone of your choice"

I observed all the stones nicely and my eyes landed on a flat and smooth one, I bent down and picked it up "now?"

He made a face "this one's too big for your palm, you should always choose a stone that fits comfortably right, like...that one" he explained and bent down to pick a rather smaller one. "there"

"Hold it properly"

"How do I hold it properly?"

"Just hold it properly"

"You're bad at teaching stuff"

With a sigh he stepped closer to me and adjusted the stone between my thumb and middle finger before looking back at me "place your index on top for better control"

I looked at the stone, it was very different from how I used to hold it while skipping.

After that, I positioned myself awkwardly stiff. Potter laughed and patted on my back lightly "Oh loosen yourself a little" then he showed me how I was supposed to stand "position yourself sideways to the lake with your left foot forward"

I did what he said then looked at him "are you sick?"

"Huh?"

"Why are you being nice to me?"

He stayed silent and I arched an eyebrow then he pointed at the lake "C'mon don't get distracted, and I'm tolerating you"

"Okay.." I looked ahead of me.

He pointed at my hand "Bend your wrist back and flick it forward while releasing the stone. Aim to throw it at a low angle, close to the water surface." And stepped back.

"Okay okay anything else?"

He shook his head "Allow your arm to continue its motion after the release to ensure a smooth, controlled throw, I know you'll do it, well, I taught you"

I rolled my eyes playfully and with a deep breath, I threw the stone with a flick.

It skipped five times before sinking down.

My eyes shone and a big small was in my face now "I did it!" I shouted and faced Potter then shook his shoulders "I did it! I did it!"

He laughed and calmed me down "yes you did it"

Then I clapped my palms together and looked at the lake with a sigh "it was pretty good"

He nodded "indeed, but you'll need practice"

I scoffed "yes yes but still"

He faced me with his hands shoved in his pockets "Ron didn't know that you were helping me" he started and I looked at him.

"It's okay-"

"No, he shouldn't have come on you for no reason" he sighed

I shrugged "it's fine, I understand that he doesn't like Slytherins much but he should know that we all aren't the same"

Potter tossed his eyebrows up "you mean you're not arrogant, rude, and an asshole most of the time?"

"You seriously think that of me?"

He looked ahead "well, you all are the same after all"

I didn't say anything. Why does everyone think that we all are the same? Some Slytherins are bad doesn't mean that we all are.

But gryffindors like Potter and Weasley would never understand.

Yes we are rude sometimes but we care for each other too, we're just bad at showing it.

With a sigh, I walked back to the tree before picking up my stuff "Good luck on the OWLs exam" and left.
