It's you!

Chapter 8

Lydia sat at lunch looking for Charlotte where was she? Then she got an idea she would go ask potter and his trolls where she was they'll defiantly know she thought angrily as she walked over to the gryfindor table and tapped harry on the shoulder "what" he snapped turning around "where's Charlotte" said Lydia in not a particularly friendly tone "in the hospital wing" said Hermione at this Lydia pulled out her wand and pointed it at Harry's throat "what did you do to her!" Yelled Lydia attracting the attention of many others Harry grabbed her wand by it's tip and slowly lowered it "nothing it was Malfoy he hexed her" said Harry hatred showed on his face " why" said Lydia lowering her wand she was confused and worried "she stood up for harry when Malfoy tormented him and then Malfoy said for her to watch her back" said Hermione more interested in Harry and Lydia's conversation than her own with Ginny Lydia scowled "I should have known she would have an run in with Malfoy" she said feeling guilty
~later at the hospital~
Charlotte woke and found Lydia sitting next to her in The visiter's chair she perked up when she saw her "hello" she whispered Lydia turned her attention to Charlotte "I'm going to get that Malfoy" said Lydia "come to think of it that's exactly what Harry said" said Charlotte weakly smiling she had no problem with them going after Malfoy she would go after him to if she could and maybe Lydia and Harry might find their hatred for Malfoy as a building block for friendship between themselves. "What happened" said Lydia looking concerned "Malfoy hexed me I thought it was obvious" said Charlotte "no, I mean why didn't you fight back?" Said Lydia "oh, I didn't have my wand" said Charlotte "ok let me get this straight he attacked a unarmed unprepared person for standing up for her friend?" Said Lydia even more angry "sounds about right" said Charlotte weakly her lungs didn't feel to good her voice was soft and scratchy "you should get more rest" said Lydia noticing how weak Charlotte was "please stay" said Charlotte her voice dying out she grabbed Lydia's hand as she got up "I'll come back later" she said pretending not to hear Charlotte she pulled lose of charlottes grip and left through the curtains around charlottes hospital bed. Lydia went to the great hall after visiting Charlotte it was lunch time now and the only seat left at the ravenclaw table was next to "Loony" Lovegood Lydia sat down reluctantly "hello" said luna in her far off voice she always sounded like she was in a trance "hey" replied Lydia rolling her eyes as she sat down "is Charlotte ok?" Said Luna "yah-hey how did you know!" Said Lydia caught off guard "no secrets are kept long in Hogwarts" said Luna mysteriously "We over heard Harry talking to Ron" said the girl sitting on the other side of Luna Lydia didn't recognize her "oh" said Lydia she felt stupid anyone who knew anything knew there were no secrets in Hogwarts at least not for long Lydia ate her lunch and left to find Harry she couldn't take on Malfoy alone. Finally Lydia found Harry Hermione and Ron in the library before she turned the corner around a book shelf so they could see her she stopped and listened she could hear their conversation clearly "Moine' why did you drag us in here?" Said harry Ron nodded in agreement "we all have a Charms essay to finish now get studying!" Said Hermione "whats with the Lydia girl she acts like we did some thing to her" said Ron changing the subject Harry was about to answer but before he could Hermione chirped in "There is a character in a muggle book called Pride&prejudice that has the same name she's nothing like her though the Lydia in the book-" Ron interrupted her "shut up no one wants to hear you muggle talk right now I get enough of that from my dad" he said rolling his eyes Hermione looked hurt for a moment then quickly recovered and rolled her eyes then slumped in her chair and returned to the book she'd been reading "you know" said harry pausing to make sure he had his friends attention "Malfoy attacking Charlotte just proves my theory" he said "oh come off it Harry Malfoy is not a-" said Ron but Lydia didn't hear him finish Neville tapped on Lydia's shoulder "what are you doing are you....are you eaves dropping?" Neville Said in astonishment "Neville it's not what it looks like" said Lydia "I'm sorry Lydia but I'm going to have to tell harry" said Neville he turned the corner before Lydia could stop him Lydia knew she couldn't get harry to believe she hadn't been listening so she ran out of the library.

~later Harry went to visit Charlotte~

"Lydia spied on me Hermione and Ron in the library today Neville saw her" said harry "I can't believe Lydia would do that harry" said Charlotte "I think Lydia is dangerous Charlotte I saw her talking to Malfoy in the hall today" said Harry "wha.... Are you sure it was her?" Said Charlotte worried now "I'm pretty sure, Charlotte what if she is teamed up with Malfoy? Charlotte I think you should avoid her for now" said harry he was worried what if Lydia tricked Charlotte and.... He couldn't even think it "harry are you sure really sure" said Charlotte "Charlotte Malfoy is dangerous I'm trying to protect you" he smiled and put his hand in hers "I think I know Malfoy's dangerous" said Charlotte releasing Harrys hand and gesturing toward her broken arm and the huge bruise on the left side of her forehead "I'm getting out tomorrow" said Charlotte hoping to brighten the gloomy silence between them "that's great well you'll need all your rest for tomorrow I'll leave" said harry getting up just before he left Charlotte stopped him with a question "save me a seat at study hall will you?" She said "oh course" he said without turning to look at her and then he continued leavening. when Harry entered the great hall no one noticed he sat down next to Ron "where were you mate" said Ron hardly looking up from his chicken "he was off visiting his sweet heart" said George pretending to hug someone out of thin air and sway them side to side "shut up" said Harry and Ron together Ginny loudly stood up and left angrily "you just had to mention sweet hearts!" Said Hermione angrily "what do you mean" said Ron "her and dean aren't talking to each other" said Hermione "why" said harry suddenly interested "that's the thing she won't tell me!" Said Hermione then she got up and
left too then George and Fred got up loudly acting like they were angry too "what's wrong with you guys" said Ron setting down his chicken "oh we thought that was the way everyone got up from supper now?" Said Fred and then him and George stormed off imitating how Ginny had loudly clunked her feet making many people laugh and giggle. Soon Ron and Harry finished eating too and left to the common room it was jammed packed and Harry swore he spotted a couple hufflepuffs soon Ron and Harry got sick of the stares they were getting and they left Ron had no clue why so many people were in the common room "why were there so many people in there" said Ron brushing off his robes "you know how they're checking the mail and banned Fred and George's products? well you know how they told us they were here to try and straighten out things with Dumbledore? Well there're not really they sneaked in with they're old robes and are masquerading as students and selling their products" said Harry Ron looked dumbfounded "how did you know that and I didn't" he said now angry "if you looked up from your chicken at dinner you would know" snapped Harry shutting him up.

~Meanwhile in the Hospital~

"Hermione really you didn't have to come and visit me" said Charlotte "oh yah I do! I've been waiting years for a girl to enter our trio I think I'm going mad spending so much time with those two boys" said Hermione after a while of talking about al the homework Charlotte would have to catch up on Charlotte asked an off topic question "was Malfoy ex spelled?" Said Charlotte "um.... No but we're sure he'll never mess with you again" said Hermione trying to look on the bright side "I hope he dose because I'll be ready" said Charlotte she was going to get him back if it was the last thing she did.
