His Slytherin Game

CHAPTER TEN

Quick note : Hey! I know I haven't updated for a while so sorry about that.
And also, this chapter is continuing from the same point that the last one left off. Xx

"Um. Raelin" was all he said while grasping his now broken hand in the other.
"what are doing here?" he askes me with annoyance behind his voice.

"I - I was coming to check on you" I stutter.

"why? You've never done this before" he says slightly aggressive and turns to grab his wand from his bed.

I flinch slightly when he grabs it and I immediately feel guilty because he puts it in his pocket. I know he won't hurt me, but the idea of his anger problems always has me slightly on edge when he gets irritated or vexed.

"it's because I was worried about Samuel-"
I try to explain but he cuts me off

"Sam's fine!" he practically shouts while turning back to me "no thanks to you and that stupid potion" he says, more to himself, under his breath.

"I didn't know he was going to take it" I try agian but Issac ignores me and storms out of the room too. I'm not sure if he's going after Samuel or to the nurse to fix his broken hand.

***

I wanted to go after him and tell him I'm sorry, but to be honest I don't see how this is my fault. Instead, I'm now sitting on my bed with my back against the headboard and legs tucked under my knees, pulled tight to my chest.

I get that I made the potion but there was no way in heaven and hell, all that is holy and all that is not that I would have known that Samuel was going to take it.

Plus it's not my fault that Samuel had a lot of pent up anger and irritation he was unwilling to share with Issac in the first place.
Whether I ruined their friendship or not, Issac and I both know the truth now about why Samuel was being so odd.

ME!

I'm the reason.

And that sucks! I ruined my best friends friendship with his best friend.

Which also sucks, now that I think about it, does Issac even think of me as a best friend or am I just the disposable one on the side?

I can't believe all this has happened because Samuel was jealous that Issac invited me to the game.

Hold on a minute.

***

I'm running down the hall, trying to think where Samuel might be. He won't be in his room or the Gryffindoor common room because he probably thinks Issac is still there. He won't be in the library because he has to voice everything he thinks so he'll just be kicked out anyway. And he won't be out of the castle because it's late now and we are actually ment to all be asleep (the librarian never realises how late it is).

That's when I realise I should probably stop running otherwise a teacher is bound to catch me.

I almost get caught but Mr. Filch and his cat. I am about to turn a corner when I hear her meow. I stay very still so they don't sense me. I know they are going to see me and I'll probably get a months detention plus some other punishment. However a rat runs past him and his cat which makes said cat run around the corner in the opposite direction from where I'm hiding.

I carry on snooping around until it gets past 11pm and I decide to give up and just talk to Samuel tomorrow. If he's not completely ignoring me that is.

As I head back to the Hufflepuff common room I go past that girls bathroom and decide to use the toilet before bed. I don't normally use these toilets (for the same reason most people don't) because of Moaning Myrtle. She's a sweet girl (well she's a  ghost and she haunts these toilets) but she's rather annoying and likes to talk to me while I'm on the loo. Which I do not appreciate. I tend not respond to her when these occasions occur, which also makes her sad the she gets a little angry at me but I just ignore her whining.
