Passion Projects

The Potter Twins • Part 4

I sat on the padded windowsill, reading the homework Professor McGonagall had assigned. I reached for my quill and dipped it in the open ink jar.

The scratches was all that could be heard, besides the bit of turning of pages.

Several students came in, all laughing, but turned in the opposite side of the common room, avoiding eye contact with me.

Harry and Hermione had been talking about making a club, to practice actual Defense spells under Umbridge's abnormal nose.

Ron came down the stairs of the boys' dormitory. He sighed.

"What is it?"

"Herbology homework."

"Come here, I have it done. You can copy off me."

"You're a lifesaver, Daire." He smiled and sat down.

"I thought you had something with Ferret?"

"He cancelled. Said Snape needed him for something."

"Oh, well, okay."

We sat in silence for a few minutes, stealing occasional smiles and looks, until Harry came in, looking as pissed as ever.

"What's got you looking so red?" I laughed.

"Umbridge."

"What'd she do this time?" Ron asked.

"Is there even a need for that question?"

"Fair enough."

"She's taking over the entire school, and I'll be damned if we don't do anything to counter her."

"What about that club you and 'Mione were going on about earlier?"

Harry stood there, looking as if alarm bells were going off in his brain.

"Harry?"

"We'll talk about it during dinner." He beamed.

He walked off to the stairs, but before he could reach the top step, I called after him.

"Harry!"

"What?"

"I forgot, I needed to talk to you. Just come with me."

I waved bye to Ron and put on my cardigan. Running down the stairs, my new pixie-cut was brushed forward, (A/N, like emo pixies, when it's all brushed towards your face and the bangs are kinda in your eyes), and I loved it with my unusual hazel eyes. I re-positioned my bangs so that people could see my scar.

We walked to the library, and sat down at our usual back corner.

"So what is it?"

"I've got an idea about that club."

~~

"So we're meeting during free periods, and after classes, and I got permission from Harry that you can come!"

Draco smiled and kissed my cheek. "Sounds great, love."

I pushed a blonde strand out of his eye, and gave him a grin.

I checked the time, and the coin on my necklace rattled. There was a meeting.

I took his hand and lead him out of the Great Hall.

"Meeting?"

"Yep."

We ran up the flights of stairs, finally reaching the 5th floor, exhausted.
