dear boy with the green eyes ⁂ golden trio era (UNDER EDITING/REWRITING)

[07]

       Sneaking into the kitchens was a whole lot easier than one would have thought. But of course, the young Slytherin had Harry's invisibility cloak draped around her shoulders. She only needs to ask once and what luck it was. To be concealed from those around her, as she did her bidding.

       The potion in her robes was tightly gripped as she snuck through the painting, slightly anxious at the thought of being caught. Even though she was hidden, it was still a hard concept to grasp.

       The sudden sound of George's voice in her head caused her to jump slightly. It turns out that the rings that were recovered last year were in fact useful, and on more than one occasion helped aid in the mischief that the three had been causing.

       "Have you reached the kitchens yet?" he asked

       "You know you could just look at the map unless you've forgotten such an extraordinary piece of magic existed." Arabella's grey eyes shot around as she tried to find the beverages for that evening's feast. This would be the biggest prank that the trio would have pulled,

       "No need to be a snappy snake." Fred's voice suddenly came through, the humor evident, which caused Arabella to smile.

       "Ha, ha, ha, very funny." As she turned a corner of shelves, she finally saw it. There it was in all its beautiful pumpkin glory. "I've found it."

       "Well go on then, pour it in." 

       Arabella removed the bottle from her pocket, twisting the top off with a loud pop. She instantly froze looking around; after what seemed like an eternity she shrugged the cloak away from her arm and turned the bottle upside-down. Its contents fell into the orange liquid a satisfied grin forming on her face.

       "Have you done it?" One of the twins spoke,

       "I've finished, don't be so impatient. Meet me in the Astronomy tower, alright?"

       "You want us to drink it as well?" the young girl questioned as she looked between the two red-headed twins.

       "If not they would suspect that it was us." George spoke,

       "They'll already suspect that it's us." Arabella said with a roll of her eyes.

       "Oh don't be so glum. It'll be fun." Fred slung his arm around her shoulder, he was beaming as the three of them stood in the tower.

       "Fine." She sighed, "I've got to get going, I'll see you at the feast?"

       "If you can find us." They laughed together, a smile broke on her face before she vanished down the steps and towards the dungeon.

       Upon entering her bedroom, it was vacant, with no sign of Pansy or Daphne anywhere. With a sigh of relief, she settled onto her bed staring up at the canopy.

       It wasn't until she rolled to her side did she catch sight of the white Peruvian lilies placed on her nightstand. Alongside it, was a Cauldron Cake with a note folded neatly in the form of a bird.

       It fluttered up, its paper wings making the slightest noise as it flew in front of Arabella's face. It landed on the bed beside her causing the girl to sit up.  She picked it up gently unfolding it. What was inside was simple, but it meant a lot to her.

I hope it helps.

Updated! I truly hope you enjoy. This is just part one, I'll be posting part two within the next couple of days, so look out for that. I love Draco leaving little gifts for Arabella, especially at this time of year. It's really nice to have the love/hate relationship develop regardless of her friendship with the Golden Trio. Hopefully, you all enjoy these little written parts because they are fun to write, and they give a glimpse at what else is going on besides what's put in the letters. I'm also currently working on something else to go alongside this book, hopefully, it'll be out soon. But for now Please vote, comment, and follow!
