The Other Potter

Chapter 55

Herbology was a blur! After walking in and taking our separate seats everything was lost to me as soon as Professor Sprout uttered one simple sentence; "Next week we will be undergoing a practical demonstration and examination in regards to surviving Devils Snare" The Professor had said in her happy and slightly excited voice that had all the blood rushing from my face – OH NO!

"So did you think of anything to get back at the boys?" Ginny asked as we walked out together making our way to the great hall for lunch. We hadn't been able to discuss in class as the Ravenclaw boys were there but Romilda and Mary had stayed behind with all the Ravenclaw girls to tell them while Ginny and I were supposed to round up the Slytherin and Hufflepuff girls and organise to meet in the second floor bathroom after a quick lunch.

"No sorry" I admitted with a wince "I was too caught up with Sprouts declaration of Devils Snare" I explained miserably. "It won't be so bad" Ginny promised and I groaned "Trust me it will be. We had to do this back home and I completely froze and Laura ended up having to use Lumos Solem to get me down" I told Ginny slightly embarrassed.

"Well just remember that this time and you should be fine" Ginny tried to reassure me as we entered the Great Hall. "Should we just get some sandwiches to go?" I asked Ginny who nodded looking around to see who had arrived yet.

"Oh crap" I muttered upon seeing Blaise and Harper talking with Hesta, Flora, Bridget and Rachel. "What do you think the odds are they are trying to find out about the list" Ginny said sarcastically and I shot her an apologetic look. "I'll round up the Hufflepuff girls" Ginny said and I nodded before making my way over to them.

"Hi" I jumped about ten feet in the air when Draco caught hold of my wrist just before I reached Blaise. "Hi" I greeted back feeling a bit unsure as Draco scanned my face probably taking in the change to my bruises but thankfully didn't comment on them. "Look about last night" Draco started instead but I cut him off looking back to Blaise, Harper and the girls.

"We'll talk later okay" I said regretfully attempting to walk away but Draco still had hold of my wrist. "I wasn't quiet in the library because I was planning something" Draco blurted out and I gave him a weird look. "Okay" I said slowly not really getting why that was so important right now.

"And I wasn't trying to distract you last night" Draco added shifting seemingly uncomfortable "Is it your job to distract me now?" I asked Draco seriously and he shook his head and said no. "Well then we can continue this conversation after dinner" I said before turning but quickly having to spin back "Actually I think I might have practice after dinner....I'll find you later okay" I told Draco before pulling my wrist free and powerwalking down to Blaise as Draco sat back down with Crabbe, Goyle, Daphne and Pansy.

"Look this is a fifth year girls problem and I am not going to tell you anything Blaise" I heard Hestia snap as I neared the group and shot Blaise a glare. "I see you didn't listen earlier" I sneered with a glare stepping next to Hestia and Flora.

"Sarah" Blaise greeted angrily. "Mind you own business" I snapped before pulling on Flora and Hestia's sleeves and whispering in Hestia's ear "Meeting in the girl's bathroom on the second floor" I told Hestia who nodded and leaned over to tell Rachel and Bridget the same.

"The fact that you won't show me this list makes it seem like it should be my business that both my little sister and fellow house mates are on it" Blaise countered and I glared getting even more irritated with him. "Well it's not like it'll stay secret for long" I said mocked "You'll just go sifting through people memories won't you Blaise?" I said in the most bratty tone that I could muster with what seemed to be a permanent glare on my face.

"Alright let's go" Flora said loudly clearly shocked that I was speaking to Blaise the way I was. Blaise didn't say anything but I did notice his jaw clenched and his fists shaking at his side probably in anger which made me feel a little bad for my comments before remembering what he and Harry had done.
