Chapter 20:
"Alex, Nora; over here!" Ginny yelled in a light voice, pushing Ron across the bench as me and Alex walked into the hall. I sat down next to her and Alex sat next to me. I noticed Fred glaring from halfway down the table and I subtly slid closer to Alex, leaning on his shoulder. Torie smirked at me from the other side of the table.
"Hey, Gin," I greeted happily,
"What can I do for you today?"
"Well I was wondering if - GEORGE, COME HERE!" Ginny broke off and yelled at her brother as he entered the hall. He strolled over and grinned, messing up mine and Ginny's hair and giving Alex a friendly slap on the back. Then he went around the other side of the table and sat next to Torie. She looked pleased.
"So," I turned back to Ginny,
"You were saying?"
"Oh, yeah," Ginny laughed,
"You know that potion you were working on that you didn't tell anyone about? Well I was going through your transfiguration notes that you said I could borrow and I found your potion plans and guess what!"
"What?" I asked, partly to humour Ginny and partly because I had almost forgotten about my plans for a prank-potion with everything else that had been going on.
"I called in a solid from Dumbledore and he made one batch of the potion and gave me the completed recipe!"
"Wait - Dumbledore owed you a solid?" Alex asked incredulously.
"Yeah, I saved his phoenix from drowning once," Ginny shrugged.
"So do you have the potion?" I asked,
"Cause technically it was my idea so I should get it and the recipe."
"Of course! Here," Ginny handed me four small glass vials with an orange liquid inside and a fifth smaller one with a blue liquid. She also handed me a folded sheet of paper.
"The blue stuff is the antidote, but there's also a spell you can use - it's written on the paper with the potion method. Oh, and I also kept two vials for myself since it was my solid that got you the potion," Ginny grinned.
"Thank you so much, Ginny!" I gushed, giving her a one-armed hug, due to the fact the she was sitting right beside me. Torie suddenly looked up from a gossip session with George.
"Nora! You'll never guess what happened yesterday!"
"Won't I?" I grinned.
"Ooh, gossip! Do tell!" Alex leaned forward on his elbows and smiled like a schoolgirl.
"Well rumour has it that yesterday," Torie began,
"Fred and Kaedy broke up."
*
Had they really broken up? I wondered, turning a vial of my potion in my hands. It seemed as if everyone in this entire freaking castle was talking about the breakup; was it real? Or just a rumour? Who broke up with whom? I assumed that Fred had broken up with Kaedy, seeing as he looked normal and she looked pissed off.
Everyone had their own theories – including everyone who was currently on speaking-terms with me. This was the reason I was currently hiding away in Hagrid's hut, mindlessly petting Fang while Hagrid did something-or-other regarding his classes. I just couldn't stand everyone assuming that because Fred was now single, he would suddenly forgive me and I would suddenly forgive him and we would both make out and ride off into the sunset (that was Ginny's theory).
