Red hair and a Hand-Me-Down robe? You must be a Weasley!

Chapter 4: An Interview

SPLAT! Pumpkin juice splattered all over me and I pretended to spew. "Ugh! My poor clothes!" I groaned. Liam sighed. "And the bad thing is, she took our wands so we can't use them to harvest the pumpkins or clean your clothes!" I slumped. "These pumpkins were planted in the year Dawn's parents were born. They haven't been harvested ever since!" Liam made a disgusted face and I laughed. I stood up and overbalanced, landing face-first into another pumpkin. "BLEUGH!" I yelled, and then I burst out laughing. Liam tried to pull me up but he failed, tripped over, and fell onto a pumpkin, ending up covered in pumpkin stuffings. He laughed. "What are we doing, messing about with each other? Come on, help me rake the pumpkins into that box." I nodded, smiling, and I took up a rake before throwing one to Liam. We started to rake back the pumpkins that were exploding as soon as we touched them. "I actually think this detention isn't that bad. I mean, you're actually really kind and funny. Us two mixed with rotten pumpkins is like a happy playground for some reason" I smiled, as I finished raking back my half of the pumpkin row.

Liam beamed. "Thanks, I get that a lot" He smiled. He raked up the last row of pumpkins and we looked at the clean ground. Suddenly, a loud clap of thunder reached our ears and before we knew it, it started to pour. The remains of the pumpkin juice that were still stuck to me, drifted off my body until I was soaking wet. I looked at Liam. "I don't care if I get wet or dirty anymore. Do you actually wanna play in the rain?" Liam asked. I squealed. "Yes! My Mother never lets me do that! Come on! Let's roll down the hills in the rain!" I grabbed his hand and ran out of the greenhouse, all the way up to the hills that weren't far from the quidditch pitch. Liam stood at the edge of the hill and saluted to me. "Meet you at the bottom!" And he rolled down the hill, yelling "WOOOOOOHOOOO!!!" I laughed and tumbled myself down the hill. I got to the bottom And I tried to walk in a straight line but I fell over into a small river. Liam laughed. "It's almost time for lunch. We'd better go now." He frowned. "Dang it. Alright then, let go." I grinned.

"Y-you stole Dad's owl!" I shouted. I mean, how could she? It's Dad's! " I didn't steal it. I borrowed it. There's a difference." Amber rolls her eyes. "No-no there isn't!" I yell. Amber nods and I shake my head. "Amber, you know what Mother said before we went on the train? She said 'Any mischief and I will take away a privilege of yours!' That's what she said and you know it!" Amber hung her head, trying to look meek, but I knew she was planning something. I opened my mouth but Lavender got in first. "Any mischief and a privilege is taken? My, my! I was never told that. I will write a letter to your home and inform your Mother of what you have done. Now, off you go everyone. I've got an important letter to send. Go on, shoo!" We scampered off into the hallway and Amber stalked up behind me. She brought her fist down onto my shoulder and I shrieked. "OW! Amber! That hurt!-"

"WHY DID YOU MENTION IT?"

"I- I wasn't- I was-"

"NOW A PRIVILAGE WILL BE TAKEN FROM ME!"

"I'm- I'm sorry! Okay? I forgot and I didn't know!"

I stormed off angrily. I ran down the halls and tried to run into my common room, but I went smack bang into someone and I fell over with a scream. My head banged against a nearby desk and I clutched my forehead. "Ow," I whispered. "Oh I'm sorry, I didn't see you there!" Sneered a voice. I looked up to see a blonde boy with a green cloak sneering down at me. He stepped on my hands and I pulled them back. "OW! You brute!"

"Brute? I'm not a brute! I'm only the best kid at Hogwarts!" He scoffed. He peered closely at me and then smirked. "Red hair and a hand-me-down robe? You must be a Weasley!" He stepped on my chest for some bizarre reason and whispered in my ear, "Weasley's SUCK!" He forced his foot heavily on my chest and I got winded. The breath was sucked out of my lungs and I struggled to breathe. "MALFOY! What are you doing to her? That is against school rules! 10 points from Slytherin and come for detention at 6:00 pm today please." A calm voice rang out and I sighed with relief as Malfoy stepped off my chest. Thank god Dawn came when she did. Malfoy ran away and Dawn helped me up. "Are you ok? Here, come to my study. I would like to talk to you." I smiled nervously and Dawn walked me to a statue. I looked at it, confused. But then, Dawn whispered something to it and the hump retreated to reveal stairs. I gasped.

We went up the stairs and the next thing I realised, we were in the headmaster's study. I saw Harry there, feeding his owl. "Hi Dawn," Harry said, kissing her cheek. "Why is Lola here?" Dawn smiled. "I need to tell her a few things and get an update on what school was like for her." Harry nodded. "Actually, I did want to give Lola something... let me just find it.." Harry walked off and looked at his bookshelf. He pulled out a few books but shook his head and put them back in. "What is he looking for?" I whispered. Dawn chuckled. "Something he's hidden inside his bookshelf. Oh, look!" Harry pulled out a bright lilac book and part of the shelf started to open up like doors. Inside was a small room with golden stands, all displayed with something special on top of them.

"WOAH!" I gasped. "Harry, you need to remember it's the lilac book. Not the golden one!" Harry laughed. "Come here Lola, I want to give you two things." I went inside and Harry picked off a small glass mirror and another golden one. "Oh. What are they? Are they enchanted?" Harry nodded and Dawn answered. "The first one is a glass mirror where you can see anyone who is untrustworthy around, inside your mirror. The second one is where you say my name to it, and then I can talk to you through it without anyone knowing" I gazed at them in surprise. "Y-You'll let me have one?" Dawn and Harry nodded.
