Leah Riddle: Riddle me This (Book 2)

Chapter 42

"Alright, we may have never been goodie two shoes, but you're a bit extreme," Damon frowned.

 "Oh come on," I groaned. The first through fourth years had gone to bed, and most of the committee was still hanging around, except for the first through third years. "Poor" little things; got too tired.

 "Damon, do not be a kill joy!" Sapphire glared.

 "It's not even legal...or allowed on school grounds," he said firmly.

 "Damon I swear to Merlin," I narrowed my eyes.

 "Damon I will personally drag you along with us," Sapphire hissed. I ran my fingers through my teased hair in frustration and waved my wand so it looked like I was cleaning as Umbridge peaked out the door.

 "We won't even be on school grounds," I whispered.

 "Exactly, you're supposed to stay here and not sneak off. That's two rules immediately broken!" he protested.

 "Damon, for God's sake, it's only Hogsmead! Drink some Butterbeer or Firewhiskey and live a little!" Draco finally spoke up. Ginny was leaning against a prop and staring at me, but I got her message; we needed to get moving.

 "Leah, the bat is flying, let's go," Pansy hissed, walking up and grabbing my arm. My eyes shot towards the castle, and she was right. Umbridge was turning off the lights in her office and finally going to sleep.

 "Let's go!" I snapped to Damon and Sapphire grabbed his arm, dragging him along with us. Finally, he gave in and we started sprinting to the Whomping Willow. I shot a spell at the special knot which made it stop moving, and we ducked down into the secret passage way.

 "Alright, we can stop running, but move quickly," I whispered.

 "Leah, we're in heels!" Pansy hissed and Sapphire nodded.

 "So am I, just take them off!" I whispered back and we all did just that. Without a sound we slipped up the broken stairs and then out the door where a snowy Hogsmead awaited us.

 "Now we can relax and have some fun!" I cheered, and then felt a very overwhelming feeling of being watched.

 "Do you guys feel like you're being watched?" I asked exasperatedly.

 "No," Pansy laughed.

 "I've felt that way all night," I mumbled. They just shrugged and we made our way to the Three Broomsticks. When we walked in, all of the older students were there and I took Draco's hand, walking over to the main table where everyone sat.

 "Sorry we're a bit late," I said, glaring at Damon.

 "Hey, who are they?" Blaise asked as Pansy walked over and sat on his lap. I glanced back at my cousins and smiled.

 "Damon and Sapphire Loveland; they're my cousins," I said and people nodded.

 "They don't look like you," Cho frowned.

 "Did you forget she's actually a Riddle, you idiot?" Pansy glared. Cho blushed and looked down, while the Slytherin's fell into loud laughter.

 "You guys disgust me," Granger muttered, but we heard.

 "Oh yeah? Itty bitty Granger has a problem with us. We are the delinquents after all," I sneered and she looked taken back.

 "You agreed you were our friend, why are you being so mean to her?" Potter asked angrily.

 "She's the one insulting my family," I snapped and the Slytherin's sort of gathered around me, like a posse.
