~Chapter 9~

In a few weeks pretty much everyone forgot the game, Styles was healed and just fine while Louis was never a big deal anyways. However he was perfect as well, Madam Pomfrey really coming through to help his fractured ribs.

"What class are we even going to have?"

"Duelling club, let's just pray we get out of this one alive." Louis held the door open for his friends, truly fearing his life from their mad teacher.

The tiny lad rolled his eyes at the beginning of the lesson. Lockhart was nothing but a narcissistic, conceited idiot who couldn't properly use any magic at all.

Snape was asked to help out and present the disarming. Lockhart flew backwards making the feathery-haired lad chuckle.

His soft giggles made Styles turn towards him so he glared. Snape had style and Louis loved his teacher showing that weird troll what real defence should look like.

After that the students were split into pairs and soon enough Louis was made to duel Styles, being told to block unfriendly spells. However since Lockhart was dim-witted he couldn't show it properly whilst Louis smiled at Snape and conjured a snake.

"Serpensortia!" Louis knew that wasn't disarming but he also knew how to get rid of it so he let the snake appear. Before he could have done anything though Lockhart stepped forward with a wry smirk plastered across his face, gleaming with pride.

"Alarte Ascendare!" The snake flew all the way up to the ceiling and then came back down.

"That's not even an existing spell, bloody idiot." Louis raised his wand but before he could cast the real one, Styles started to talk. Just not to any of them.

He was parselmouth and certainly more than able to have a nice little chit-chat with the snake. That was pretty impressive and incredibly rare, the tiny lad really didn't see that one coming.

It almost looked like he was trying to make the snake attack one of the students, egg it on but Louis was sure that's not his intention. He has never heard anyone talk parseltongue and it was truly fascinating.

"Vipera Evanesca!" Louis made the snake disappear while everyone was still staring at Styles. He for sure will have to answer a few questions after this.

Having such talent wasn't very positive in their world but Louis was sure that it didn't mean anything, maybe Styles was really meant to become a Slytherin but nothing is going to be changed now.

Tomlinson wasn't able find sleep that night. He just kept turning in his bed and knew all too well that he will not be able to fall asleep. Finally giving up, he got out of his bed and grabbing his wand he walked out of the dungeons.

"Lumos Maxima!"

It wasn't per say wise to stroll around the castle at night and it also was against the rules but the small boy just needed some fresh air and to move a little. As he was passing the bathroom on the third floor something caught his eyes.

Fluxweed was idly lying on the ground. At least Louis thought it was Fluxweed, it smelt like it but he wasn't sure. All he could really think about was polyjuice potion but who here would have the need for such thing was not a question he was able to answer in any shape or form.

He decided to ignore it for now, maybe ask Snape tomorrow if he'll be in a good mood. He carried on with his midnight amble until he reached the main yard. Seating himself on one of the benches he watched the stars shining bright above the school.

He wasn't sure how much time has passed but when he felt tired enough that he was sure he'll be able to sleep, he stood again and headed back to his dorm.

Grumpy was still fast asleep just like all his mates so without having to worry about being caught he cuddled right back into his sheets, closing his eyes.

This time around sleep came to him easily so he didn't need to fight in order to gain it anymore.
