Grudges

Chapter 21

Victoria kissed Draco on the cheek before walking towards the room of requirement, Harry had told her she had something to give her. She was practically skipping while she walked, she was so happy with Draco.

"Hello?" Her voice echoed through the empty room as she opened the door. Victoria's footsteps echoed in the room as she walked. The lights in the room all lit up several different colors, small fireworks blasts over her head.

"Congrats on completing training!" Harry shouted as he appeared from behind the pillars, holding a piece of cake in his hand. Victoria laughed at the gesture.

"Well thank you. All thanks to you." She smiled at him before taking the cake and cutting a piece with the fork, before she could take a bite Harry spoke.

"You did a great job." She lowered the fork from her mouth and smiled at him.

"Well you were a great teacher. Seriously you should be the DADA teacher when you graduate. It would be amazing." Victoria said as she set the fork on the plate.

"I think I would prefer to be an Auror. It would make more of a difference."

"Well, I think that the teachers here are making a huge difference too. They train the most skilled wizards and teach even when a war is waging on." Finally she took her fork and brought it to her mouth, almost moaning at the taste of her favorite flavor of cake. "Oh wow who made this?" She chewed and swallowed the bite, taking another bite without looking up at Harry.

"Skye." Victoria choked on the bite and automatically spit it out.

"Shit she totally did something to-" Victoria looked up at Harry and stopped talking, a small smile overcoming her face as their eyes connected "Has anyone ever told you how beautiful your eyes are?" She said dreamily.

"Victoria...? Are you okay?" Harry asked, taking a step away from the veela girl, trying to stop her from kissing him.

"C'mon babe kiss me?" Victoria reached her hands to Harry's face and pulled him toward her, he gasped at her surprising amount of strength as their lips connected. Harry struggled for a second, his mind still processing what the bloody hell was going on but he soon relaxed into the kiss.

For a while now Harry had liked Victoria, and he was very eager to kiss her soft pink lips. But she was different, she was acting like she was under a spell of some kind. Harry had spent so many nights teaching Victoria spell after spell, and this was nothing like her. He pushed her away and held her wrists in his as she tried to get closer to him.

"Victoria. Stop." She still struggled in his grip.

"But why? Babe please I just wanna be close to you." Victoria struggled still. Harry sighed and pulled Victoria out of the Room of Requirement, off to find someone to help with whatever is happening.

Skye was with the twins in their favorite hidden classroom. After dinner the twins had cornered her and started asking her what she did to the cake slice.

"What are you talking about?!" Skye was practically yelling at the two red heads that stood in front of her.

"We saw you sprinkle the love potion onto the cake Skye." They said in unison crossing their arms over their chests. Skye glared at them with her blue eyes.

"I just wanted to see if it worked!" Skye lied leaning against the wall of the classroom. Fred scoffed as he ran his hand through his hair.

"It worked all right." His tone was cold as he avoided eye contact from either George or Skye. George looked down with a sad expression.

"We told you it worked Skye. Why didn't you just believe us?" George asked.

"I didn't have proof! Also, What's your problem Fred!?" Skye asked walking towards Fred.

"My problem? It's that bloody potion you made us make! And..ha...my bloody brother." Fred snapped. Skye looked at George who was still looking at the floor.

"What happened after I took it?" Skye asked nervously looking between the two brothers. George shifted in his spot before speaking.

"You kissed me."

"And you kissed her back!" Fred yelled slamming his hands against a desk. Skye flinched before walking over to Fred and putting her hand on his cheek.

"Freddie. Look, what happened while I was on that doesn't matter." Skye noticed small tears in his eyes. One tear slipped and she wiped it away with her thumb. "You are the only person I have eyes for Fred."

"George still didn't have to kiss you back. You still never answered me George." Fred stated looking at George with a look of hatred.

"She was all over me! I didn't realize what was happening before it was too late! Fred I would never try to take her away from you!" George explained. Skye suddenly felt really bad. She shouldn't of taken that potion. Had she really kissed George?

"Now don't think I'm not mad at you too." Fred was now looking at Skye.

"I didn't even know what was-" Fred cut her off.

"How do you think Victoria and Malfoy are going to be? I get we don't like Malfoy but seeing the girl you like kissing someone else is the worst pain for anyone to feel." Fred said putting his hands on her shoulders so she was facing him.

"But Malfoy doesn't deserve-"

"You shouldn't of gotten involved. That's the end of it."

Skye felt bad almost guilty. Fred made a point and it hurt her. If it did this to Fred god only knows what's going to happen to Malfoy.

"I'm still not going to apologize. What's done is done." Skye said quietly looking at the ground. All three of them were silent. Tension in the room was still high. Skye didn't regret giving it to Victoria but hurting Fred was the last thing she wanted to do.

"I'm sorry Freddie. I'm sorry George that happened while I was on the love potion." Skye's voice was shaky as tears starting forming in her eyes. Fred sighed walking over and pulling Skye into an embrace.

" Skye. Don't do that again please." He asked his grip tightening around her.
