CHAPTER THIRTY THREE : TOO LATE ( part 2 )

Tommy

Sunlight, I hate waking up to find sunlight blinding me. Why were'nt the curtains drawn? UGH
I marked my calendar, today was the day the entire school is going to Hogsmeade. I decided not to go, so Cassandra had to find someone else. Heather...was she still going with Malfoy. Maybe I should just stay in here. Or maybe you should stop moping around.
Shut up.
Maybe I should go though...spy on them.
After arguing with-you know-myself, I decided I would spy on Heather.
Who cares what I'm going to wear, they'd probably already left.
Breakfast-pass.
If I were Heather, where would I go?- HONEYDUKES!!!
I just hope I'm not too late.
The minute I walked in, my ears were filled with the soft jingles of the bell above the
door. Honeydukes was really crowded, as always. And there she was, my beautiful Heather Bear. She was busy stuffing loads of candy into her basket, same old Heather. Malfoy however was at the other side of the room, this bastard wasn't even watching her, and he calls himself a good friend. Yeah, like thats believeable.
I kept myself hidden from Heather. Just then, someone decided to give me a heart attack by jumping on me, causing me to knock some chocolate bars off a shelf.
"Cassandra! What were you thinking?!" I hissed.
"Oh, hullo. Nice to meet you too" she said rolling her eyes.
"What're you doing here?" I asked
"Can't a girl get some licourise wands?"
"No" I joked. "Anyways, who'd you bring?"
"No one, I'm here alone"
"Okay. Since you are here. You can be my companion." I said and she nodded.
"So, do you want to explain why you were spying on Heather?"
"I-I wasn't spying on her!"
"Yeah right. And my name isn't Cassandra Deflour Wilson"
"Deflour?"
"Yup. Now let's go. We're losing her!" She said tugging me towards the doors. We spotted her walking with Malfoy to the Three Broomsticks.
"Great. It'll way too crowded. Everyone's gone in to warm up" I muttered. Rosmerta was way too busy handling two trays full of more than six large mugs on each one. At this rate she had to wear roller skates just to handle all the orders.
"There they are! In the corner" Cassandra said.
"There's an empty table behind them. Cmon"
Heather and Gideon were already done with their Butterbears and were having an intense conversation. If only I had some extendable ears right now.
"We should leave now" I said but Cassandra pulled me back.
"Wait. Im listening to their conversation" she said and that got my attention.
"What're they saying?!?"
"Heather's asking Gideon...about whether....he has a crush on her." She said furrowing her eyebrows.
"And what did Gideon reply?"
"He's laughing and shaking his head 'no' "

I felt relieved at this.

"Then what did she say?"

"She's saying she feels embarrassed and all"

"Then?"

"He wants to take them somewhere."

"What? Where?!"

"Dunno. He said it was a surprise."

"What?!?!?!?!"

What if he takes to an empty shed and lock her in or something?!?! Huh?! Or what if he tries to poison her?! Or what if he tries to kill her?!?! Or what if he - "

" shut up Tommy! They might hear you. And I don't think it's possible for him to do those stuff. "

"What makes you say that?" I asked slightly annoyed

"They're eleven for God's sake!"

"Yea...but what if-"

"He won't! He's not even smart enough!" She was getting really annoyed now.

"Okay. Geez. Fine!" I said putting my hands up in surrender of not wanting to witness an angry Cassandra.
"

Cmon, theyre leaving." I said and led Cassandra out. Indeed, Gideon seemed really scared. Like, really scared. He was really pale, so pale that his red lips were really obvious.
Was he going to spill some sort of secret to Heather. Where was he heading to anyways?
Heather obediently followed Gideon like a puppy. And thats when I realised where he was leading her. The Shrieking Shack. No one has dared to even step foot into it. Why was he taking her hear. Something is defenitely up.
"Thats it" I muttered and ran after Heather.
"Wait! Youre not taking her in!"  I shouted and Gideon turned to me with a worried expression.
"Tommy, what are you doing here?"
"I-I came to save you from him" I admitted and to my surprise- Heather started to laugh.
"Im sorry what?" She asked between her laughter.
"Its not funny, im serious, Hes dangerous" I said motioning towards Gideon.
"Peterson, I suggest you leave" Gideon said sternly.
"Make me, Malfoy"
"Tommy. Just please leave" Heather said shoving me slightly. I looked at her dumbfounded as she walked away with Gideon.
How could she? Fine. Fine! FINE!!!
If she wants to hang out with a jerk like that, she can proceed to. How could she be so blind? How could she be so stupid?
"Um-what now?" Cassandra asked. "Do we follow them?"
"We go back. Thats what we're going to do. I dont care anymore."
"You cant be serious. The Shrieking Shack."
"Leave it, Cassandra" I said running my hand through my hair in anger.
