SCARLETT: THE ORDER OF THE PHOENIX

Chapter 7: Eliza the Love Doctor and Boys are the worst.

Hey soul sister, ain't that Mr. Mister on the radio, stereo
The way you move ain't fair, you know!
Hey soul sister, I don't want to miss a single thing you do, tonight
-Train, 'Hey, Soul Sister'.

Eliza P.O.V

"Hey, is Blaise single?" I asked Raven.

"Yeah, why?"

I beamed inside. "No reason."

Maybe he can be my Potion's Partner next lesson? I can just dump Scarlett on Draco..yep I'll do that. I ship Scaco!

I've got a plan.

Scarlett P.O.V

Eliza kept beaming randomly the whole lesson, so something's up. She was only like this when something major had happened.

"Eliza, what's up?"

"The sky and Blaise is single!"

I laughed. "So what you going to do?"

"You know how we have Potion's next?"

"Yes....?"

"Well...you'll see..."

"Oh God. I have a bad feeling about this.."

"Why? Just trust me!"

"How can I do that when you won't tell me what's going to happen?"

*

We arrived at our Potions class and instead of sitting next to me like she always did, Eliza had a word with Draco and Blaise, sat down next him and shooed Draco over here!

God, help me. I'm going to die from a heart attack at any minute!

Draco sat down and smirked. "So, Scarlett, guess we're stuck together now! That friend of yours is definitely trying to hook up with Blaise."

"It's that obvious?"

"Totally obvious."

"I'm not sure that's how she wanted to come out as. More...subtle."

"Subtle my ass! By the way, you look nice today."

"I have no makeup on."

"Why should that matter and why?"

"I have spots. And I've ran out of concealer. I can't get any until the next Hogsmeade weekend."

"I could get some off of one of the Slytherin girls."

"You can't get into the Girl's dorms though. Plus, I bet no one is my colour."

"Well I'll go through Parkinson's handbag. I bet she keeps some in there."

"You'd do that for me?"

"Sure."

"She may not even be my shade, but it's better than nothing. Thanks, Draco."

I may have seemed chilled, but really I was a nervous wreck. Draco was making me feel the same things he made me feel when I was 12 years old..and now that I'm 15 I can control them better.

I think I only liked Seamus. I dated him for almost a year and that's why it took a while to get over my feelings for him. I love Draco. 

I had that little fling with Theodore Nott and then Seamus, but both of them put together hadn't made me feel like Draco had.

I mirrored the thoughts of my third year self...

Boys are the worst.
