Slytherin Weasley

Chapter 14

By the time Madam Pomfrey let me out of the hospital wing, despite my constant protests, it was already December. She came to tell me I could leave just in time for breakfast in the Great hall.

The corridors were icy cold, and my footsteps echoed as I made my way down. When I finally made it to the Great Hall, I rushed over to the Slytherin table which was on the far side of the hall. I slid on to the bench next to Daph, who had her nose in the daily prophet.

"Boo!" I said in her ear, and reached for the toast in the middle of the table. She jumped, head spinning and when her eyes locked on my, she flung her arms around my neck.

"Oh, Immy it's so good to see you" she cried. I awkwardly patted her on the back.

"You saw me yesterday" I chuckled and she let go of me. "Where's Addy?" I asked looking around, and catching sight of Fred and George sat either side of Ron, undoubtedly up to no good.

"He went up to the owlery, I think it's his little Brothers birthday or something" she said of handedly. "Hey did you know that Snape is..."

"That's Professor Snape to you Miss Greengrass" a drawling voice sneered from behind us. Daph stiffened and slowly turned her head to meet the dull, black eyes of our head of house.

"Yes Professor, Of course, Sorry" She stammered.

"Whatever Greengrass, watch your manners next time." He drawled. "Are either of you staying at Hogwarts for Christmas?"  Daph shook her head and turned away.

"Yes sir,  I am" He look at me, and wrote my name down on a piece of parchment, before striding off to a group of first years further down the table, cape billowing behind him.

"What? Why are you staying?" Daph said.

"Parents are going to visit Charlie in Romania. Dragons and Shit" I said whilst buttering another piece of toast and taking a big bite. "What lesson have we got first?"
"Double Transfoguration with the Gryffindors" a new voice says from behind me and Addy slides on to the bench beside me. "I went up to the hospital wing but you'd already left" he says and turns to look at me face on. "Will you please read my essay? Pretty please, I can't afford to get another D"

He continues begging and I chuckle. Extending my arm and making a come hither motion with my fingers "Hand it over."
"Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!" He says and shoves a roll of parchment into my hands before turning and tucking into breakfast.
The essay is on Animagi - How to become, the difference between them and the werewolf and the laws involving them.
After skimming through it, I say lazily "You missed the month holding the leaf  in the mouth and the fact that animagi aren't governed by the full moon"
He grabs the parchment and hastily scribbles whilst saying "You're a life saver Immy, honestly I don't know what I'd do with out you"
"Fail Transfiguration" Daph says with a laugh before standing. "Come on we don't want to be late."

I know it's very very over due and much shorter than I'd like it to be but I'm gonna try and write more now we're in lockdown and I have no exams anymore. Hope you liked it and don't forget to like and comment :) ~ Emzzy
