The Copy

{12}: The Potter Curse

I looked at the wooden table before me, dishes laid out on a whitened sheet, each containing a wide range of foods. Some exotic dishes from far countries such as beef bourguignon from France and egg rolls from China.

With a wide grin I shoveled a fork full of mashed potato's and peas into my mouth, happily chewing on the mix of food. I had been starved, Elijah had not wanted to stop for food on the way to Hogwrats.

" Geez, Victoria, slow down. "

Fleur laughed as I finished yet another plate of food, my third serving. I looked at her like I was a deer caught on headlights.

" I am hungry! "

I protested yet again but this time pushing the plate away, in a attempt to stop eating. But yet I took another pastery, I couldn't help myself.

With a chuckle Fleur shook her head, her smooth blonde hair  not even falling out of place, suddenly she stopped and peered at the Gryffindor table.

"Your brother is looking this way. "

She whispered loudly, quickly I turned towards the wooden table of red and gold but everything was slightly blurry and I could only make out the outline of figures. A problem that I had been having for quite a while.

" I can't see properly! Just tell me which one? "

I huffed, annoyed and momentarily I thought that I would need glasses, as if the Potter curse had now descended upon my poor soul.

"Charles, I belive."

Fleur chuckled as she swallowed her last piece of steak and to my surprise raised her hand, gesturing to the Potters sitting at the table of red and gold.

" They're all idiots if you ask me. "

I chuckled as I nodded in agreement, even the other girls began laughing. One of the teachers from Hogwarts came marching to our table in a huff.

"  Mrs Potter I do hope you go sit with your proper school."

Her tone sharp and immediately I knew she despised me, with my own angry huff I stormed towards the Slytherin table and sat down beside Viktor, taking his bowl of ice cream and then proceeding to eat the entire bowl in under two minutes.

"That was mine, you owe me ice cream now."

Viktor growled annoyed as I put the bowl in front of him once more, this time filling up the bowl again for him, with his favorite flavor.

" Where did you disappear to?"

Elijah chuckled slinging an arm around my shoulder some girls lipstick was smeared on the corner of his lips, so that's where he had disappeared to earlier. He had always been a player but most of the girls from Durmstrang knew better than these hogwarts girls.

"Fleur."

I shrugged as his head perked up, he had always had a slight intrest on the French girl.

" Did you put a good word in for me."

His hopeful onyx eyes stared at me with happiness, I would have set them up long ago, except there was a lipstick smudge on his lips. He was a player and I didn't want that for Fleur.

"I honestly forgot you existed, I'm terribly sorry."

He rolled his eyes at me and my explanation before shrugging and stuffing some mashed potatoes in his mouth.

"I saw you earlier in the corridors, I even waved."

I sighed, putting my head in my hands in defeat.

" I'm going blind! The Potter curse is upon me! "
