The Bookworm

Chapter 5

(Switch to Olivia-Grace POV)

I yawn as I awaken in my sleeping quarters. I adventure down the hall to get to class, today charms, I'd never been as excited as I am now. We were told a new boy was to be joining our class, that his father had eventually allowed him to come to Hogwarts.

I reach the classroom entering with a huge smile, the professor smiles at me as I sit down. Noah soon joins my table as class is about to start a handsome boy with brown hair, with pretty blue eyes walks in nervously.

"Class this is Benji Longbottom. He will be joining us this year, after been homeschooled for a few years by his father. Benji would you like to sit with Olivia-Grace and Noah, they will welcome you with open arms" the professor says, Benji makes his way over and it's hard to deny the butterflies in my stomach.

Noah clearly pics up on something as he moves over so Benji can sit between us. I send Benji a small smile, I can feel my cheeks going red so proceed to look back into my book. He is very attractive and very much my type.

Once the lesson finishes we all proceed out the class and head to potions, Benji follows us quietly beside Noah. We reach potions and Benji comes to sit beside me again, this time he flashes a smile, his white teeth glistening in the light from the windows.

"Amortentia, is today's lesson. I have already taught my other class in second year so will be teaching you lot now" Snape says with a smile.

We all brew our amortentia. Snape agrees Benji, Noah and I had got it spot on an asks us to smell it.

"I can't smell anything other than Olivia-Graces perfume sir" says Benji a little confusion spreading across his face. My face goes an odd shade of red as everyone chuckles, including Snape.

"Right an with that mine smells of roses, spearmint and grapes" Noah breaks the odd silence that has been created once everyone stopped laughing.

"And you miss Weasley?" Says Snape clearly begging to embarrass me.

"Oakwood, peppermint and Benji cologne" I sigh as everyone chuckles again.

"Class dismissed" Snape finally says after asking a few others to recite what they could smell. I hurry off to my dorm to get a change of outfit for the Quidditch game and to avoid any strange conversations with any of my class mates.

I slide into a blue dress, with a small black belt round my waist, and pop my robe back over the top. Swiftly going to the Ravenclaw stand to watch the match. Ravenclaw vs Slytherin.

Hunter speeding to get the snitch, is tackled off his broom by the Ravenclaw seeker, he hits the ground hard, but doesn't get up like he usually would. The match is immediately paused as they see to his injuries calling the match off, he has to go to the hospital for a few days. A concussion, broken wrist and cracked rib were all he came out with, it could of been worse.

(Switch to Clarissa POV)

Hunter hits the ground hard. We were close friends since childhood and I couldn't help but go to visit him whilst he is in the hospital. He is awake now but in a lot of pain.

"Clare bear" he smiles, my old child nickname shining through, "you came to visit then?"

"Of course I had to check my huntsman was ok didn't I?" Chuckling as I said his nickname, it gain a giggle from him soon following a wince.

"Don't make me laugh woman" he smirks, I smile at him sitting beside him on a chair.

"Chocolate frog?" I ask pulling two out of my pocket, he nods. I unwrap the first handing it to him, he grabs it quickly munching it away and looking at his card.

"Snape again" he laughs, I giggle showing him my card which was the exact same.

Damien appears in the room out of the blue, "are you ok Hunter?"

"Yeah I'm fine Damo, just a cracked rib and broken wrist, nothing much. Bit sad I can't play for a few weeks" he sighs "your gonna have to take my place bud"

"But I'm shit at Quidditch." He laughs.

"Well your gonna have to train no one else can play" Hunter laughs.

(Switch to Electra-Ivy POV)

I walk down the hall to the hospital to see if Hunter is ok. I reach the door and spot Damien, immediately deciding against the idea, I turn swiftly thinking about coming back later.

I bump into a boy who looks oddly familiar, he has black hair paired with dark blue eyes. Very handsome but in a mysterious way, almost as if he didn't belong here and belongs elsewhere. He also had some sort of tattoo on his wrist, a snake head peaking out of his sleeve and he looks almost lost.

"Hey are you ok? You look lost?" I ask politely.

"Yes I'm quite ok, just searching for Damien, my father told me to stay close so I wouldn't get lost in such a large school" he smiles.

"Damien is just with his brother in the hospital, I can walk you there if you like. I'm Electra-Ivy." I respond, he seems nice enough.

"That would be great. I'm Lucifer by the way Lucifer Riddle." He reply's. I choke, he is, he who shall not be named son and I just attempted to befriend him.

"Um yeah ok, uh this way" I stutter, he clearly picks up on my nervousness.

"I'm nothing like my father if that's what your worried about." He responds to my nerves. He sounds truthful but I couldn't trust him. The son of the most evil man alive.

"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING WITH ELECTRA-IVY?" Screams Damien.

"I was bringing him to you, jeez chill out" I smile, his face immediately drops.

"Yeah well he doesn't need to be shown round by a mud blood Weasley" he snaps, my heart drops.

"You know what, screw you Malfoy" I shout, storming away tears in my eyes.

"There was no need for that now was there" Lucifer says to Damien, loud enough for me to hear, a small smile crosses my face through my tears.
