Me, Jacela and Jess all sat in the common room, I had my headphones in and Jacela had her legs slung over mine thinking about who she was going to prank. Jess sat on the floor looking up at Jacela, fumbling with her fingers.
I could see Jacela yawn and she mumbled something to Jess who nodded. They both got up and started walking up the stairs.
I lay my head back and tried to release some of the stress building in me. Today had been a long day and I was so tired. I didn’t want to go up to bed yet because Pansy was still crying her eyes out because mum sent her a howler. That was funny; her eyes looked like they were popping out of her head. I laughed to myself and had a feeling someone was watching me.
I snapped my eyes open and took out my headphones. Searching the room, my eyes rested upon a boy staring at me, he had long shaggy hair that covered his forehead, he had green eyes that reminded me of moss on a stone by the sea and he was wearing some low hipster jeans and a blue t-shirt that clung to his muscles. He was seriously hot but he had nothing on Scorpius.
“Can I help you?” I asked realising I had stared at him way to long.
“Nah, just enjoying the view” He smirked; I decided I didn’t like this guy, but I was going to play along anyway.
“Well there’s a lot more where that came from” I winked at him and he started walking towards me. I followed him with my eyes till he sat next to me and slung his arm over the sofa where I was sitting.
“You’ll have to give me a map” I laughed and he held out his hand
“I’m Luke” I took his hand and we shook
“I’m Brooke” He smiled at me
“So you’re the girl in my dreams? Thank god I finally figured out who she is"
“That’s me” We talked for a couple of hours before my eyes got way to heavy and I was seconds away from falling asleep on Luke, he didn’t seem that bad once you got to know him. I’d have to introduce Jacela to him. I’m sure they would get along.
I said goodnight and walked up to the dorms, everyone was asleep. I quickly changed into some loose shorts and a tank top before crawling into bed and falling into a deep sleep
The next day in Herbology, Gryffindor and Slytherin lined up against the pots, ready to try re-planting Mandrakes, also known as Mandragora. The teacher Professor Neville Longbottom, asked us to put on their ear muffs to block out the Mandrakes screams. Professor Longbottom grabbed the Mandrake by its roots and pulled it and quickly dropped it into a new pot and covered it with dirt.
“Now you guys repeat what I just showed you.” I couldn’t be bothered to fuss with them like everyone else, and Jacela didn’t look fussed either. We both just shoved them in their pots and watched everyone else mess around with them. Most people put their fingers too close to their mouths and the mandrake would bite them. I found that very amusing.
After Herbology, we had DADA (Defence against the dark arts.)
I smirked, “Time to show them who you really are.”
Jacela grinned and shook her head “Dio ci aiuti. (God help us).”
“Today, I’ll be teaching you how to disarm your opponent.” Professor Tolono said.
He looked around the room before stopping on me and Jacela, “You two, up here.” Me and Jacela both walked onto the platform grinning at each other, ready to put on our show.
“Ok, wands at your ready!”
I held up my phoenix feather core wand whilst Jacela held up her unicorn core wand.
