Hogwarts Love Express

The Plan

Marie POV

Well, it's pretty clear that I may not survive.

Why me?

Why?

I didn't do anything bad, I don't think. I didn't even put my NAME in there...........

Wait.

IT WAS SNAPE.

I KNOW IT.

Or Malfoy, the two are practically related. 

God.

I gotta go through a maze, and fight a dragon.

Great.

I love life.

Mitchell POV

No way.

How am I gonna ask her now?

You aren't neccassarly in the best mood when you find out you might die soon, so I probably won't ask.

"What, you want Calvin to steal your girl?" Jason asked.

Well, no.

I'm back to asking.

The worst thing that can happen is that she says no. 

I go to the library, where she will probably reading or something.

She was obviously doing homework, but I come up to her, and say, "Hey."

"Hi," she responded.

I sat down next to her. Potions homework.

"How are you?"

"Oh, I just found out I'm on the verge of death, but otherwise I'm good."

"Well, the Quidditch match is the day after tomorrow and I was wondering if... youwouldcomewithme?"

Marie glanced up from her homework.

"I'll go with anybody to get away from the Slytherin crowd." she said grumbling,"See you the day after tomorrow, Mitchell," she said, smiling.

"Bye."

No freaking way.

She just said yes.

THE QUIDDITCH MATCH

It was Slytherin against Ravenclaw.

Marie came toward me, wearing a Ravenclaw scarf that was too big for her with red cheeks.

"Hey, let's go," she said, smiling.

We went up to the standies, and we watched the game. Pretty spectacular, except Slytherin won.

"Stupid Malfoy got lucky," Marie muttered.

The game was over, and Marie rushed to the library.

I kinda got mad. Already, it's over.

"Hey, where are you going?"

"I need to read up on how not to fail the tornament."

She said it so casually, like "I'm going to call my friends."

"You can't leave now."

She turned around.

"I need to, I'm sorry Mitchell. I would hang out with you, but.." she sighed. "Bye."

I stood in the hall as she walked away.

Why do good things have to end?

We didn't really do anything physically (aka cuddling), but we had so many laughs.

What if she does die?

I shook muy head, trying to get the thought out of my head.

I looked down at my feet, as I walked. 

I bumped into Calvin.

"Watch where you are going, Knight," yelled Calvin.

"And don't steal my girl," I muttered.

        He turned around.

"Excuse me?" 

"No, nothing."

"No, something. Tell me, you fool."

"FINE. I SAID DON'T STEAL MY GIRL."

"Marie? She was mine months ago!"

"YOU AREN'T EVEN A THING!"

Calvin took a deep breath, and just left running.
