There Must Be Some Mistake! Harry Potter!

Ch.7 Herbology

I groggily walk down to the great hall. I sit next to Ron and Hermione. "What class do you have?" Hermione asks spooning porridge into her mouth.

 "Herbology," I say glancing across the room to where I see a flash of red. Red Hair. Fred and George. I stand up.

"Where are you going?" Ron asks looking at me with wide eyes.

"I'll be back in a second," I mumble walking away from the table. I walk towards the door where I saw the twins. The definitely notice me because Fred pushes George back as he starts to run. My pace quickens into a run. I keep running but damn they're fast. It must be because how tall they are. Or maybe they are so used to running away from angry people.

They turn a corner as I pull out my wand. As soon they are back in my sight, I stop running and yell out, "Petrificus Totalus".

The twins stop and fall over. I run up to them. As soon as I mumble the counterspell they start to get up but I grab one by the shoulder and the other by the ear and throw them back on the ground. "You two got me a detention!"

"Look, we're sorry. We just wanted to help you." Fred says out of breath. "Help me? By getting me in trouble!" I say.

"Yeah, Pansy's always so mean to you so we gave her a taste of her own medicine. Damn you run fast." George says wheezing. I roll my eyes helping them to there feet and say, "Go! Before I change my mind," The twins run off back to the hall.

 I walk back in the direction of the hall but about halfway there a pair of hands grab me. I let out a little scream but a familiar voice gets my calm down. "Shh. Char, it's just me," Dean says laughing a little. I gently punch his arm saying, "You scared the life out of me."

Dean laughs holding my waist and pushes his lips against mine. I don't care what my parents say. Nobody will see us here anyways. Well, hopefully. 

My arms slide up around his neck. I melt into his kiss but when I open my eyes for a split second, I notice my watch says ten past nine.

"Oh, shit," I say pulling away. "What? What's wrong?"Dean asks. "We're late for Herbology". Herbology is one of the very few classes I have with Dean.

"Run," He says grabbing my hand and dragging me along. For Merlin's sake, I've already done enough running for today. We run until we reach the greenhouse behind the castle. I brace myself as Dean opens the door.

 "Well, its nice of you two to join us. Both of you were late so that's 10 points from Gryffindor.......each!" Professor Sprout says. "Oh but Prof-"I begin "Do you want that to be a detention? Now put on your earmuffs. We're revising mandrakes," I walk past Ron and Hermione and stand next to Neville and... Oh Merlin, Draco Malfoy.

"Where's Séamus?" I whisper to Neville. "He's sick and Professor Sprout made Malfoy stand there," Neville whispers pulling back my earmuff. I sigh and turn to Professor Sprout. 

"Now if you need any help just call me and I'll be right over," Sprout says. I push back the earmuff that Neville pushed away from my ear.

You don't want to hear mandrakes scream. A fully grown one would kill you but these babies will just knock you out. I grasp hold to the top of the mandrake after making a hole in the other plant pot. I pull it out and quickly slam it down into the other pot.

I cover it with the soil from the other pot as Neville asks, "What were you and Dean doing anyways." I was about to make up an excuse but Draco answered before I could. "They were probably sucking the faces off each other."

"We were not," I say defensively. "That's not what your brother said," He says carrying his empty pot to the back room in the greenhouse. I follow him with my empty pot. Once his turns around I grab his wrist and twist it. He lets out a yelp of pain before I say, "What exactly did my brother say?"

"He said he saw you and Dean on the first night we came here kissing in the astronomy tower," Draco says trying to pry away my hand. I twist his wrist even further. I realize I'm twisting his hand that has just recently come out of a cast. Good. Inflicting more pain. The not so good part is that Draco screams which draws the attention of Professor Sprout and the class.

"Miss Peverell let Mister Malfoy's hand go. That's a detention for you and Mister Malfoy on Thursday for fighting. "Sprout says staring directly into my eyes. I drop his wrist as Draco says, "But Professor there's a Slytherin vs Gryffindor Quidditch match on Thursday," "Well maybe you should have thought about that before you two started a fight. Class dismissed." 

***************************************

Later at midnight, I slump down into my seat in Astronomy. Harry sits next to me, which is quite odd but I say nothing until Harry turns to me and says,"You know for making Malfoy scream. You should have been given points instead of getting them taken away". I laugh as I set up my telescope.

Professor Sinistra walks in up to the top of the class. "Alright, Alright, settle down children, settle down. Now who can tell me where we left off?" she says strictly. "Page 24," Hermione says sitting up straight. "Thank you and oh Hello Dumbledore," she says as the class turns to look at him.

"Yes, Hello. Professor Sinistra may I borrow Miss Peverell for a moment," He says his voice shaking. That's odd. His voice is usually very steady.

Professor Sinistra nods as I get up from my seat and walk out the door with Dumbledore. He doesn't say anything until we reach his office. "Dumbledore, why did you call me out of class?" I ask. "My dear, dear girl. Something has happened and you are not going to like it." "What? What's happened" I ask.
