Hogwarts Unity and the Protective Sisters

Chapter Thirteen - Potions

Guinevere, Rosabelle, and Susan sat waiting for her friend to show up to their potion's class, but as the class started and their friend still didn't make an appearance they grew worried. After a whole thirty minutes of waiting, Guinevere stood up followed quickly by the other two members of the quad. As she opened her mouth to ask her professor if they could go look for their missing friend, said friend came rushing in the door. She slammed the door behind her and slide down it panting.

The professor was the first to make a comment, "Care to explain why you are so late to my class, Miss. Potter?" The sweaty, shaking Potter looked up at her professor.

She panted out, "Dracula......you....wouldn't....believe me if I told you."

He sneered at the nickname, "Try me."

She takes a deep breath to calm herself and she explains, "Well, I was on my way down from Transfigurations when I realized that I left my potion's book in my dorm." She pauses to catch her breath. When he sneered more, she defended, "You forget that it was early when I awoke and I didn't know my schedule until right before classes. Besides, I needed my morning exercise anyways, so I decided that running to the dorms and back wouldn't be that bad. I have made a habit of doing exercises in the morning when I was younger and I intend to keep it." 

She takes  another breath with a smirk on her face as she had answered the question in his eyes that he didn't need to ask. She continued, "However, on my way to the dorms, I was stopped by the demon that everyone refers to as Mrs. Norris. She started chasing me out of no where. I ran for a least a good 15 minutes trying to get away from her. She had somehow cornered me and the only other option was jumping out a window, so I ran at the window with all of my might and jumped." She pauses and takes another breath, but her friends thought it was more for theatrics. 

She finishes, "As I was falling, I wished to be unharmed and I hoped beyond hope to be away from the demon, but back inside Hogwarts with my bloody textbook. I opened my eyes when I no longer felt myself falling and sure enough I was away from the demon with my textbook in hand. However, I was lost and I didn't know where I was. I didn't find out until I ended up in the Ravenclaw common room..." Ro gasped at this information. 

Riles ignored her friend and continued as if she hadn't been interrupted, "With the older students looking at me oddly. I saw a clock behind them and realized I had to hurry if I was to get to your class, so I turned on my heel and ran through this bloody maze. By the time I made it to the door, I knew I had to be running late, but I was still trying my hardest to get here." She paused again as she panted for a moment.

Professor Snape, or Dracula as the original trio call him as they have yet to tell Susan the story, rose an eyebrow and questioned, "Is that all?"

The ravenette girl looked at him and stated, "No! I looked at my watch when I reached the door and I would have been just fine. I probably would have beat Guin and the others here, but no the bloody tower I had to of been stuck in was bloody Ravenclaw! I tried to open the door, but it wouldn't budge. A freaking eagle flew into the painting and asked me a riddle." To that, Ro chuckled at her friend's fate. 

Riles continued with a glare thrown at her blonde friend, "It took me forever to figure it out because I kept thinking of extravagant answers because it's bloody Ravenclaw, but no! It was one of the simplest answers ever. I was so annoyed and then I had to run all the way down here. And Dracula, your classroom isn't the closest place to Ravenclaw! Please don't be angry at me Dracula." After her adventurous tale, she sat there panting softly. 

Rosabelle sat in stunned silence even though she had known that Richelle would be able to do it. Now, she could brag to the older Ravenclaws. Guinevere looked slightly jealous as she hadn't been present for the adventure that her friend had clearly had. Susan still stared at the ground not knowing what to think.

The professor just calmly said with a small sigh, "Well, Miss. Potter, please take a seat and do refrain yourself from...." He was cut off by the dramatic ravenette.

"Dracula! I'm already traumatized for life! Have mercy on my soul!" She then dramatically lays over Guinevere's lap with her hand on her forehead and her legs over Rosabelle and her feet on Susan's lap.

Guinevere cries out, "Have mercy!"

Rosabelle agreed, "Yeah! Uncle Sev! Have mercy on this poor child!" Susan just looked at the ground guiltily trying not to get in trouble.

The professor rolled his eyes and tried again, "Take a seat Miss. Potter and don't make it a habit of being late to my class." The ravenette quickly slide off her friends and dropped to her knees.

She then started groveling at her professors feet, "Thank you Dracula! I am at your mercy and internally grateful!" The man once again rolls his eyes at his student and points to the seat beside Guinevere as Susan was sat beside Rosabelle. The ravenette jumped to her feet and hugged the poor man. She also rewards him with her brightest smile as she pulled away from the hug. Then, she flops into the seat beside her dearest Guinevere. She chirped happily, "Thank you, my darling, Guin! You helped save my soul!" 

Then, the ravenette looked the blonde and exclaimed, "And you, Ro! You are truly amazing! I love you both dearly!" The redheaded and blonde girls looked at each other and did nothing to stop their friend's childish antics.

Guin said, "Anything for my dearest friend!"

Ro stated with a smug smile, "Of course darling!" The three girls hugged then they promptly turned towards Susan and hugged her. 

The three said simultaneously, "We love you!" Susan stared at the trio in shock before shyly saying the words back causing the other three girls smile at her as their professor angrily scowled at the quad of troublemakers in the making, but he continued his lesson after getting the class to quiet down after that performance. 

The professor could only think, 'I must warn the others about all of these girls and fast! They are a bloody nightmare!'
