Fireworks ☆ F. Weasley [ON HOLD]

[chapter 8]

Thea had gotten up early as usual and got ready for the day. Percy had informed them that the first week of school would be the hardest for the Prefects as they would need to assist first years.

"Made Prefect, have you?"

"Great observational skills you've got there Draco." Thea rolled her eyes, swallowing the last bite of her toast.

"Come to hide behind Thea again?"

"Not so tough against a dementor?"

Fred and George came out of nowhere, Fred slinging an arm around Thea's shoulder.

"Mister and Mister Weasley, I believe your table is over there." Snape came towards them with their schedules.

"They were only congratulating me for being a Prefect." Thea said motioning for them to walk away.

She knew Snape was searching for any chance to deduct points from Gryffindor.

"You're a Prefect this year Miss Nott. I expect you to act accordingly."

"Wouldn't have it any other way, sir." Thea was still bitter and suspicious of the man.

"Excuse me, can you show me where the Divination classroom is?"

Thea was about to leave the Great Hall with Ronnie and Emily to go to their first class when a third year stopped her. She inadvertently groaned knowing she would be late to Herbology.

"Yeah, of course. I'll see you guys at the greenhouse."

Thea led a small group of third years all the way up to the entrance of Divination classroom. Some were huffing and complaining why the class was placed there.

"It's right through that circular door."

Just as she was descending the stairs, she heard the bell going off alerting her that the first period was starting. Groaning to herself, she ran all the way down and out of the castle. Entering the Greenhouse Three, she rushed towards the Herbology classroom.

"As we'll need to revise some subjects for your O.W.Ls and-" Professor Sprout stopped talking when Thea walked in slightly out of breath. "Miss Nott, class started ten minutes ago."

"I'm sorry professor. I was showing third years the way to Divination classroom." Thea apologized.

"Oh, alright then. Congratulations Miss Nott. Please take a station. As I was saying your O.W.Ls will determine which of you will take this class next year..." Professor Sprout went back to her lecture as Thea walked around the classroom to reach her friends.

"He's checking you out." Ronnie whispered in Thea's ear as the lecture continued.

"Who?" Thea asked as she took notes.
