With my mind on my goal and a way to my destination ,I walked towards the potions classroom.
"Professor "I knocked the door calling out to Professor Slughorn.
"Yes dear child,come in,Oh! It's you Elizabeth.What brings you hear ?,Is it the homework?"
"No sir not the homework I have done it already "
"You always live up to my expectations,dear..So what brings you here?"
"Well you see sir I want to be a healer in the future it seems to me like the perfect profession so many a times I read about things like healing potions ,while reading I came across a disease called Methia aslifis and I find it interesting ,I did find a book which covers it would you sign a slip for me as its in the restricted section of the library"

"Ofcourse Dear let me write you a note."

"Thank you Sir "

I took the signed slip from him and as soon as I was out of the door I released a breath I didn't realize I had been holding.
As I came into the corridor I made a victory gesture and exclaimed
"Yes!!!!"
Which was way out of character for me but I was a step ahead in somehow saving my sister that did count for something.
And then I saw Albert looking at me like I was crazy.
Maybe I was but then every body is one way or the other.
"What?" I asked defensively
"That Elizabeth is precisely my Question "
The thing about Albert is he is way too serious ,he is a good guy once you know him but somebody needs to tell him that you only live once so live your life before its snatched away from you just Like it was from my sister.
Back to reality.
"Nothing just going to the library "
"Can I join you."
"Why not?"
"Can we go towards the lake instead,that is if you don't mind,it would be a pity to waste such a beautiful day & I think we have a lot to talk about "
He just nodded..
****
As predicted it was a beautiful day .I sit at a secluded spot under the oak tree which me,Olivia and Albert had found together in the first year
The strategic advantage being you could see the world but it could not see you.
"So..." I ask
"Mom"
"Is she sick again?"
"Hmm..."
All this while he didn't look at me he was just staring into nothingness.
His mother has been sick for a long time as long as I have known him ie since we were small enough to not even know our names because our moms are best friends. His mother is sick not physically but more mentally ,she got a high fever when we were about ten.She was bedridden we were not told anything but that she was sick.
"Its not going,she's not getting any better,They are losing her.Its bloody getting worse and I can't even do any freaking thing about it."
I catch his hand and rub it with my finger soothingly as if saying I'm here.
"Hey,look at me its going to be fine.Don't worry we have the best healers working for her."
"I know that but I,I Feel so useless there she is.... And I can't even do any thing to help."
She was at the deaths footstep.He didn't say it but I understood more than ever now that.....
"There's nothing you can do just hope that she gets fine and be strong for her and spend as much time possible with her"
He just nodded.
I couldn't stand his gloomy mood so to lighten things up I changed the topic.
"Well I have heard you my dear boy have a crush on Olivia"
"No ,I don't "he said getting defensive on me.
He should know it won't work on me of all people.
"You know you can't lie to me.So don't even try.Wow!That even rhymed"
"Well it definitely didn't .Trust you to be such a sing song when you yourself are generating such cat fights and cold wars"
"Hey what did I do?!? And you're just saying that to deny your feelings for Olivia"
"Some one took my name"Said Olivia as she entered our hideout.
"Speak of the devil and the devil appears"said none other than Albert
"Funny coming from the devil himself" replied Olivia.
The tension they create is so cute.. If I hadn't a death threat looming over I could have played Aphrodite for past time
But alas it would be rather childish even if the young matchmaker in me fancies it.
Right now I had better things to do and so being the arbitrator I am I intervened.
"If you both are done with your antics of which I have had enough. whaever frenemy phase your going through I'm not wasting my precious time and going to read.Just a friendly reminder you both have to finish your potions,history of magic,DADA essays and assignments to be submitted tomorrow."
"Dont you have to do them too."Olivia pointedly asks
"As a matter of fact I've done all of them."
"So we can copy them from you"says Albert
"No I'm not giving you my hardwork for free,all rights and grades reserved"
"Your so mean"whines Olivia
"That my dear friends is your problem.So you better start doing it as if you do after you're done I might very generously point out your mistakes and help correct them because I'm thinking about going to Hogsmeade"I say.
"Fine!"Albert huffs
"So I bid farewell to you O fair maiden and brave soldier."
I say dramatically and leave.
So much for being Cliche as Olivia calls it.Now come on wouldn't life be boring without a little sugar and a lot of spice cause a boring life is not very nice.
Okay so I'm a little bit too Cliche.
