Black And Green

Sixteen

E m i l y

I was rushing to the lanes to get  at the Slytherin tower when I heard a voice calling me.

"Mrs Black, come on! We are late" professor Dumbledore said and pushed me gently with him.

I looked back, knowing that getting late to get my cloak back was worst and said, "But I-".

"Mrs Black I don't think you want anyone else to catch you wondering around the castle alone" he said putting me in my place.

When the doors of Great Hall opened all of the students were here sitting on their house tables, the dinner had already started. Dumbledore was now at his position to the front and I walked to my seat.

"Hello Emily" Ginny said as I sat next to her.

"Hi Ginny" I waved back and put some potatoes in my plate. My eyes were searching for Malfoy at his usual seat.

"Have you finished your essay Emily?" Neville asked me from across the table.

I took a big breath and I stopped looking for Malfoy it was clear that he didn't show up, "To be honest, I haven't even started".

I had so much going on right now but I must start doing the essay tomorrow so I don't miss the deadline.

[..]

Two days have passed with me not having my invisible cloak. Everyday I am looking very carefully on each yard and corner if I catch him but it is like he dissappeared. Thank God we had potions right now and I was walking to the class faster than usual.

The room was empty so I just sat at my usual place and put my books on the desk tapping my fingers nervous on them waiting for students to come. The class started filling up with students, even Neville came but I couldn't see Malfoy or even Zabini. When I saw Blaise joining the class I was waiting him to sit across me in his seat to ask him where he is.

"Good morning guys" he said laughing ironically at me.

"Where is he?" I asked him more tensed than I expected.

"Woah easy Black. He is probably somewhere around. Maybe he is even sitting next to me and you can't see him" he was sarcastic and put his hand in the air moving it like he was touching the head of someone.

"Tell him that I want it back" I hissed and Neville was really confused.

"Don't worry", he said serious, "you will have it soon".

Snape had entered the classroom now and even started teaching. But Zabini told me he was coming so where-

A big noise sounded in the class and I fell down to the floor because someone pulled my chair back. The classroom was laughing and I looked at Neville but it was clear he didn't do it. Zabini was laughing with tears and I quickly glanced at the door which opened and closed fast but at this noise no one could hear it. But, no one came or left. At least no one that can be seen. I stood up and sat normally at my seat with Snape looking at me angry.

"Silence!" he shouted and everything went quiet. He started walking towards me with his hands on the desk looking me dead in the eyes.

"Mrs Black as it shows, likes to be the clown of the class just like her father did" he said with his cold voice.

"No it's just someone dragged my chair back so I would fall and-" I was explaining but his voice cut me off.

"Was it Longbottom?" he raised an eyebrow. I looked at Neville and shook my head.

"No it wasn't -"

"Was it Zabini?" he interrupted me again.

"No" I said bitterly and he leaned forward to me.
