Lost in Blue

chapter thirteen

The beautiful young girl skips through the field with the soft grass under her feet. The flowers are blossoming around her and the warm sun is shinning....

"Hey Stella" I hear a soft voice.

I look up from my book and smile as I see Harry come and sit beside me on the stone bench.

"Hey Harry, it's good to see you" I smile, closing the book. I started to read the one Draco gave me. I only just started it but it's very good so far.

"Yeah, you too. How have you been?"

I feel like Harry can relate to me more then most people about Cedric. Not that people won't listen to me when I'm sad and need a shoulder to cry on, but Harry could relate on another note

"I've been good. I have a few rough nights every now and then, I keep getting these nightmares. Other then that though I've been okay" I nod

"Yeah. I had them too. They just started going away before school started"

"I heard about you almost getting expelled?" I ask, changing the topic.

"Yeah. No one believed me about the attack. Hell, no one believes me Voldemort is back" he says.

I wince at the use of the name, " I don't understand how people think Cedric just dropped dead. I mean, you were there. It's heart breaking knowing he isn't getting the recognition he deserves" I frown.

"I know, it's quite infuriating" he sighs.

I take his hand in mine, a friendly gesture.

"Well if it's anything, I believe you. Ron and Hermione do too. We're always here if you need to talk" I smile softly.

"Well I actually came to ask you something, but you cannot tell a soul. Not even Grace" he slides closer to me, whispering.

"Uh okay.. what is it?" I say listening closely.

Harry explains that he is planning on creating a second version if Dumbledore's army. Since Umbridge has taught us nothing, he plans on teaching a small group of us.

"We already had the meeting but It was really last minute so I forgot to tell you about it, but if you're interested we have our first practice tomorrow afternoon" he says.

"I would love to be there" I nod.

"Okay and remember don't tell anyone. Okay?"

I nod in agreement. I'm not going to tell anyone but I know he means specifically to not tell Draco.

The next day I sneak out of the common room with out getting too much attention. I walk out and see Fred and George leaving across the hall.

"Hello boys, what're you up too?" I skip over

"Harry told us to come get ya, show ya where the room is" George says,

"Come on pretty lady, let's go" Fred continues making me laugh.

We walk down the halls and I see a door I've never seen before.

"This isn't usually here, is it?"

"Nope" they both say in unison.

George pushes open the door and the Room of Requirements shows itself to us.

We walk in and the door disappears behind us.

"You made it!" Hermione says walking over to me.

"I did! Im really excited about this too!" I say excitedly.

We practice for a few hours. Harry started by going over simple disarming spells. We practiced on each other.

"I'll go easy on you okay" Ron says to me.

"Alright Ron" I smirk.

"Stupify" I cast at him before he can even hold up is wand.

Ron goes flying back 4 feet away and lands on his ass.

Everyone snickers around us, I walk over and extreme my arm to help the boy up.

"Well" he says dusting off his shirt. "Good job I guess"

I laugh and shove his shoulder playfully.

"Alright everyone great job today! Will be meeting again next week" Harry announces.

I leave with Luna and Neville.

"See you guys later" I wave and back in time for dinner.

"Where the hell were you" Grace says as I sit at the table before dinner starts.

"I was with Hermione. Doing something for our History class" I say, happy that she doesn't realize I'm lying.

"So Umbridge is having this extra credit thing called the 'Inquisitor Squad' basically just to bust people.. I think I'm gonna join" Lewis says taking a bite of his bread.

"You have fun with that" Grace shakes her head and reaches for the butter.

"Yeah I'm with Grace on this one, that seems to kiss up. Plus I hate Umbridge" I laugh.

"How about you Malfoy?" Lewis says as Draco walks in taking a seat beside me.

"What about me?" He says plating his food.

"Inquisitor Squad. Extra credit, you in?"

"Yeah why not, seems like fun to go around a bust Potter and his friends in trouble" Draco snarls looking over at them.

"Potter? Why him" Lewis asks.

I'm just as curious to know why Draco is so intrigued by them as well.

"Because I'm pretty sure him and his little group of friends are up to something"

I don't say anything but sink back into my seat. If Draco find out I'm with them, he'll kill me.
