Reality Bites Harry Potter

Change of Plans

On the way to the Great Hall the next morning, Hannah and Susan are glaring at me. "What did I do this time?" I asked confused. Shay was near the front of the group.

"She says she has plans with someone Friday but will see if they're available," Hannah said crossing her arms and glaring at me.

"Well, how the hell was I supposed to know that?" I mutter as the two of them caught up with Shay.

"Well, it doesn't look like your plan is working," George said walking up to me, Theo, and Blaise at the top of the stairs to the dungeons. I sighed.

"I can see that. Is Fred being secretive too?" I asked, frowning.

"He told me but made me swear not to say anything." George said shrugging. "Why's that brat being secretive?"

"She says she has plans with someone on Friday." Blaise said shrugging.

"Oh..." I said wanting to hit myself. He did chase after her after all. Of course Fred would be the one to offer to go out with her Friday.  I rolled my eyes.

"What?" Theo asked curiously.

"We're going to have to change up our plans a bit." I said sighing.

"Why? They're doing what we were going to do in the first place." Blaise said rolling his eyes.

"Yeah, but I didn't want the circumstance to be like this." I said rolling my eyes too. "I'm going to have to do some major cheering up."

"Why not just tell her?" Theo asked frowning.

"I wanted it to be a surprise, but I guess there's no helping it if she's going to make it difficult." I said wondering how Shay became the drama queen she is today.

"So you're going to give up just like that?" George asked raising an eyebrow.

"Well, yeah, unless you have a better idea." Theo said shrugging.

"What if I do?" George asked grinning.

"We're listening." Theo and I said grinning. Blaise sighed.

"I guess so," He grumbled.

"Aw, did Blaise-y poo wake up on the wrong side of the bed?" I asked him pouting.

"Don't call me that ever again. EVER." He said after giving me a weird look.

"Yeah, seriously, what's the problem?" Theo asked frowning.

"It's just hard to see Susan upset because Shay is mad at us all." Blaise muttered, blushing. He wasn't looking us in the eye either.

"AW!!!" Theo and I gushed.

"Don't worry. It'll end soon." George said grinning.

"I hope so," Blaise said scowling at Theo and I.

"I was thinking you should continue your plan like normal. And then I'll go meet up with Fred and Shay and lead them to the Three Broomsticks." George said shrugging. "And then, you can apologize to her and tell her your 'real' reason for 'abandoning' her."

"Hm," I said as we got to the doors of the Great Hall. "I never thought about it like that."

"So what are we going to tell her?" Theo asked frowning.

"That's up for you to figure out!" George said before taking off to the Hufflepuff table. That assbutt.

"Let's sit with Pansy and Draco. We can discuss it later." I decided sighing. Theo and Blaise nodded and we went to where Draco and Pansy were.

"We thought you might have forgotten us." Pansy said grinning as we sat down.

"I'd never forget you two." I said grinning. "So Draco, how's it going?" I really wanted to ask how it was going with Harry.

"Good," He said frowning. "I guess."

"What's wrong?" I asked frowning.

"Ever since Potter and I decided to start over as friends, other kids have been calling me soft and stuff." He said rolling his eyes.

"They're not bullying you are they?" I asked completely serious. He looked at me shocked.

"No, but if they were, I can handle myself." He said with a roll of his eyes. I wasn't convinced.

"That may be so, but I'm not going to stand by and watch my friend be bullied, got it?" I said scowling at him.

"Yes, I understand." He said blushing in embarrassment. I smiled.

"As long as you understand." I said before taking a bite of my eggs.

"So what are we going to tell Shay?" Theo asked worriedly.

"Ooh, what's wrong?" Pansy asked smiling.

"Sorry Pansy, but this is Gingerpuff drama and you don't want to get in the middle of Gingerpuff drama." I said shaking my head. She shrugged.

 "Fair enough." She said giggling.

"How about we tell her... that we're planning her birthday party 7 months in advance?" Blaise suggested.

"No, she wouldn't believe that." I mutter, shaking my head. "Or, we could tell her we're planning out on who is getting what for her for Christmas?"

"I like that idea." Theo said smiling.

"Of course you would," Blaise said rolling his eyes.

"Blaise, please behave," Pansy said giving him a look. He sighed.

"Fine," He grumbled. I rolled my eyes at him.

"So Christmas presents for Shay, yes or no?" I asked before taking a bite of my bacon.

"Yes," Blaise and Theo said at the same time.

"Good, now that's decided. We have to figure out how we're going to tell Susan and Hannah." I said sighing.

"I've got it covered." Blaise said shrugging.

"Okay, then we'll leave it to you, Blaise." Theo said  grinning at him.

"Is the Gingerpuff drama over with now?" Pansy asked pouting.

"Yes, we're sorry, Pansy." I said sincerely.

"It's okay," She said smiling at me. "So who do you have first?"

"Snape for Double Potions," I said sighing. "I'm going to have to make a trip to Madam Pomfrey."

"Why?" Draco asked frowning.

"Well, the fumes nauseate me first thing in the morning." I explained. "And no, I'm not pregnant." I could see Pansy wanting to ask.

"Oh," She said sounding disappointed

"Why? I'm only 12!" I said wide-eyed. She shrugged.

"I don't know." She said sighing. Ugh...

"Anyways, I'm going to go now before the bell rings." I said standing up.

"Okay, talk to you later," She said waving at me. I waved back and took off to the Hospital Wing. Hopefully, I make it to class on time.
