Miss Lestrange ➝ Oliver Wood x OC (Harry Potter)

potions partners.

two.

I awoke earlier than usual the next morning, excited to be back at Hogwarts and heading to my lessons, not so excited that I wouldn't have Tonks this year. I shared a room with three of the best Slytherin's I know...and Flora.

Robin Carter, the twins; Holland and Lydia Higgs, most mischievous people I've ever met apart from the Weasley twins. Maybe its a twin thing? And Flora Miller, a tall blonde freckled faced girl, she was probably the biggest bitch in the whole school. Even after five years I don't know whether I like her or not. It wasn't because she was a nasty, just because, well, she never actually spoke. She'd just look you up and down with a face like a dog. It sounds mean but she gives the impression she is very stuck up. 

I woke up, careful not to wake up the sleeping beauties and snuck down to the common room, deciding to read a chapter of "Magical Drafts And Potions" to get a head start for today's Potions lesson with Professor Snape. There was a slight tint of orange still left in the wood of the fire facing the couches and I decided to get a little closer to feel the fading warmth for a little while.

After a bit, I heard the boys upstairs messing around and new that it was now time to go wake up the girls. I quickly made a note to myself to write to Tonks later on and went to get ready, however, not before the boys decided to run around the common room in their underwear because they thought no one was there. Marcus Flint's face was of pure embarrassment and I couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"You are all so weird, now go get dressed." I laughed and walked back up to my room, waking up the girls and putting on my school robes for class soon. After changing clothes and doing all the necessary things I needed to, I grabbed my wand, books and lesson plans and headed for the Great Hall to have breakfast.

The hall was already pretty full by the time I got there, taking my seat next to Holland and Tyler McCall, a goofy and incredibly adorable friend.

"Morning, did you see what was on the notice board this morning? I didn't manage to check it on my way out." I asked as I grabbed some toast off the plates in front of me.

"Just when the next Quidditch tryouts are and when the next game will be." He said, eyeing me as I took some bacon.

"I know what you're going to say, please don't Tyler." I moaned, already knowing what was coming.

"Oh come on Lucia, you're the greatest keeper I've ever seen, you have to go to tryouts!" Tyler got excited, still looking at me eating meat, "Plus Marcus told me they need someone as strong as you back on the team, it would help Slytherin tones!"

I sighed, "Marcus is a cheater anyway and I don't care."

"Yes you do, stop lying."

"You're the liar!" I retaliated.

"Excuse me?" He laughed.

"When I asked you whether me eating meat was a problem to you, you said no, yet you keep looking at me like you're going to throw up." I smirked, shoving more bacon into my mouth.

"Yes, well...I think its wrong ok! Those poor animals Lucia, think about them...poor things..." Tyler droned off.

"Ugh, Tyler stop with the crap."

"I shall not." He was stubborn, "Anyone who hurts or makes fun of animals is no longer a friend to me." He closed his eyes. 

I quickly transformed my nose into one of a pig and asked, "Does this offend animals? Are you not my friend any more?" Laughing at Tyler's reaction, him eventually joining in.

"Miss Lestrange, please keep your purposeful transformations for the classroom and not for the fun of it at breakfast." Professor McGonagall stated, walking straight down the hall to the front podium where the rest of the teachers sat.
