Confessions Of A Teenage Metamorphagus

What am i thinking? i already have a boyfriend!!

I woke up the first morning of school after having the same dream for a week I thought I had better keep my distance from Seamus, I had a boyfriend after all and its confusing me on how I feel about Lee. Getting slowly out of bed I pulled on a black lace shirt, a pale pink skirt and a pair of black heels, and walked down stairs for breakfast. I had already packed my trunk the night before. Neville was sitting grumpily at the kitchen counter when I walked downstairs “what’s up with you? oh dear lord don’t tell me you’ve been crying” I asked half amused, when I saw his red puffy eyes. He sat there in stony silence, and I gave him the ‘fine don’t tell me’ look and walked over to the fridge and pulled out a punnet of raspberries and a punnet of strawberries and washed them in the sink. Once they were all clean I dumped them in a bowl and tottered over to the pantry and pulled out a fresh packet of my favourite chocolate spread: Nutella and turned the bottle upside down to empty the contents into the bowl, grabbing a spoon out of the cutlery draw, and shoving the berries into my mouth in a very unceremonious fashion.

As soon as I had devoured the whole bowl, Gran walked into the room, pale and shaking holding a letter. “oh my smurf, what’s happened?!” I screamed, only thinking the worst. “Valerie Alice Longbottom, you have been made a prefect” She whispered her voice shaking. I rushed over to have a look at the letter to see if it’s a fake. “I am so proud of you darling” Gran said her eyes full of tears. I beamed at her and gave gran a huge hug.

After that we set off to Kings Cross Station. I was determined to make sure that this year would be the best it can be. As we turned the corner to get to platform 9 I saw a family of redheads “ARIANAAA!” I screamed, she turned around and screamed “VAALLL” we both ran up to each other and gave each other a huge hug. “Ugh they do this every year” Neville and Ron said together. Grabbing each other’s hands we got your trunks and walked through the magical barrier that leads us to Platform 9 ¾. As soon as we were passed the barrier a streak of white blonde rushed over to Arianaa. It was Draco. After they were done with their totally non-verbal meeting, Draco turned to me and said “I hear that you have been made a prefect Valerie” to that Arianaa Screamed and flapped her hands about like a bit of a spaz, “Oh my Merlin I have been made one too!!” she said whilst doing her excited owl impression, I then joined her and started doing my excited owl impression. I saw Neville walk past, take a look at Arianaa and Draco, then walk away looking even more upset than he did this morning. It then hit me Neville was upset that Arianaa was dating Draco.

There was now five minutes to get onto the train,  I only just made it on in time, carrying 6 different trunks is not easy. As soon as we were in our compartment I put my hand in my pocket and pulled out my shiny new prefects badge. Taking a look at the lovebirds that were sitting in front of me I decided to try and find MY boyfriend Lee Jordan. Walking slowly out of the compartment I wondered around, looking in all of the compartments to see if I could see him.  After around 10 minutes I found his compartment, looking through the compartment door I tried to catch his eye but he was talking to someone who I couldn’t see. He moved back and I saw that he was talking to the Gryffindor chaser Angelina Johnson, her arms were around his neck they were both laughing. I suddenly felt like I was about to see my Nutella and berries again. Walking away slowly I was oblivious to everything around me, it seemed like everything had slowed down and my world was spinning ‘no there must be some mistake….’ I whispered and before I knew it I was unconscious on the floor.

“Finally, she is awake” I heard someone’s voice from above me. I opened my eyes and sat up slowly. I was in a different compartment that I had never been in before. I saw, Seamus, Arianaa and Flavia Malfoy in front of me. “Are you ok?” Flavia asked “ I was on duty and I saw you just collapse, what happened?” my mind was about 5 minutes behind my body, and then I remembered, Angelina Johnson happened. “That’s none of your business” I snapped angrily at Flavia. “I think it’s best if you go, she is quite hard to talk to in these situations if you’re not used to her” Arianaa said quietly. Flavia got up and left the compartment, as soon as we heard the door slam, Arianaa and Seamus turned to face me. “What happened Val? You don’t usually pass out without a reason” Arianaa asked her face full of fear. I then took a deep breath and recited what had happened. When I was finished, Seamus looked like he wanted to punch Lee and Arianaa had the look that she would curse Angelina into oblivion, “but I am sure it’s a mistake I don’t think it was what I think it is” I muttered under my breath, Arianaa looked incredulous as if to say ‘but honey you haven’t heard from him all holidays, how do you know what it was or wasn’t?’

At that Draco walked in and said “Arianna we are almost there you need to get into your robes”. As soon as I got up Seamus grabbed my arm “what?!” I asked shocked, “sit” he replied he sounded serious. I sat back down and looked at him intently wondering what was so important “are you trying to avoid me?” he asked bluntly “no why would you think that?” I replied not being all that truthful, he looked me over for a minute trying to find some point of weakness, as if he would find one, I am trained in the art of deceit!! Seamus  took a deep breath “after we danced you seemed to keep your distance from me for the rest of the week when I was at your place, I don’t understand it, we used to dance all the time when we were younger, I don’t see what’s changed..” he said his voice cracking, I wanted to tell him how I felt about the whole thing but I couldn’t find any words to say. So I got up and went to get into my Hogwarts Robes.
