Chop And Change (Sequel to The Eternal Prophecy)

Heartbreaks

         I woke up in the morning and saw the other side of my bed empty, but the sheets crumpled none the less. He had gone to his dorm, but still, he had spent the night with me. I went to the bathroom, and had a shower, washed my hair, brushed my teeth. After I was done, I turned off the shower, and dried myself. I wrapped the towel round my body and went to put my bootcut jeans and cowl neck red top on, followed by a pair of ruby earrings. As I touched them, I felt the heat, and I looked in the mirror to see fire in my eyes.  I jumped with delight as my eyes turned bright yellow along with my hair, I was at last happy to crack and find one stone. Rubies for the element - fire. Well something is better than nothing. I finished wearing it and went down to join Harry, my dear cousin brother by the fire. 

        "Hey Harry." I said as I sat down beside him on the common room couch.
        "Hey Ati."he said cheerfully.
        "So you're not mad at me?" I asked him.
        He looked taken aback by my words. He shook his head. "Why should I be pissed with you. Me mad at you, no bloody way in hell. Me pissed of at Tom Marvolo Riddle, aka Voldemort, the whole mother of a bitch fucking yes.
        "So what did Slughorn say?"I asked him.
        "Nothing, just showed his bunch of collected students. But he knew Riddle. He recollects him as a quiet and excellent student, he claims the monster lay deep within him, and he sees him again and gets a fright of his life, seeing you with him makes him concerned about you. He even sees how you bring out the good and soft side in him. And I see he keeps you happy. But get it from me, if he ever hurts you by any way, I am gonna kill him, no matter whether it destroys the wizarding world."
         He got up from the seat and walked to the direction of the boys's dorm. He turned and saw my clothes."Seems you've forgotten, that today's the Quidditch match, Gryffindor versus Slytherin. So you need to change."I laughed and went to my room and got changed.

        At the time of breakfast I went and sat down in my hogwarts uniform, along with my cheerleading kit. And Ron was behaving rather strangely. The food digestion machine was not even touching the poached egg and the toasted bread in his plate lying in front of him.Ron's eyes were lower, his knuckles taped for Quidditch, as he flexed his fingers, anxiously at the table.
        "Good luck, Ron?" said Neville as he passed the other way.He nodded shortly as Mr. Lepercheaun, Seamus Finnigan came at the table.
        "Counting on you Ron. I have two galleons on Gryffindor."He's so not helping.We glanced at the Slytherin table, as I chewed my pork sausages. I saw Tom smiling at me, Draco give me a curt nod. Strange, Malfoy not wearing his Quidditch uniform. A few other Slytherins turned and sniggered. Ron averted his eyes, and looked at McLaggen with disdain. Frowning, he let Hermione, Harry, Elena, the Salvatores and the Grimaldis join the table. Harry pushed the plate in front of him, as he poked it glumly.
        "So how was it?"he asked Hermione. But Hermione, being her, was rreading the Daily Prophet, unaware, about what Ron was up to.
        "How was what?"she asked him.
        "Your dinner party."he said with a mocking refinement.I took my book of Introduction to Land of the Souls by Pearla Pierce, and smacked the back of his head, making him wince, and look at me with shock.
        "Dead boring. Though I think Aria, enjoyed the evening and Harry enjoyed dessert." I glared at her with my red eyes and pink hair, making her chuckle all the more. Professor Slughorn is holding a dinner party at Christmas and we are allowed to bring someone as well."she mentioned.
        "I expect you're going with McLaggen, he a member of the Slug Club isn't he?" said Ron receiving a smack on his shoulder by Eliza Salvatore.
        "Actually I was going to ask you." said Hermione.
        "Really?" asked Ron with surprise, as I rolled my eyes along with Elena. Seriously couldn't he see that they bickered like a married couple, and they crush on each other, but too stuck up to admit it!
        "Yes, but now seeing that you have such a distaste for the idea...."said Hermione, when Lavender Gryffindor Slut Brown came into the Great Hall.
        "Good luck Ron, I know you'll be brilliant."she said as she passed by and Ron being the idiot that he is smiled feebly at her, looking back at his plate while Hermione stared at her with daggers.
        "I'm resigning."said Ron and we looked up at him with utter shock."After today's match McLaggen can have my spot."I saw Harry hand him a juice, as Luna came at our table. She wore a hat bearing an uncanny resemblance to a lion.
        "Hello everyone. You look dreadful Ron" she said.
        "Not helping Ms. Love Moon."I said. Ron looked glum as he nodded his head, while she faced Harry.
        "Is that why you put something in his drink? Is it a tonic?"she said. I saw the vial full of Felix Felicis in Harry's hand. Hermione warned Ron, but Ron had the juice, and felt  cheered up. I left the table along with the girls, and went to the changing room, where I changed into my cheerleading uniforms, covered with my Gryffindor Quidditch robes., and came out with my group of cheerleaders. I came out into the Quidditch stadium to see Tom, making his way to the seats with not much interest. But then his eyes fell on me, and he smirked as he came down.
