Lizzy's Admirer and Fights
Chapter 5
I woke up to the excited chit-chat of the girls in my dorm room. I sat up and said, "What's going on?" "Lizzy's got an admirer!!!" Charity squealed! "Who!" I asked. "Only the cutest boy in the entire year!" Hannah said. "Besides Zac of course!" Charity pointed out.
"Well? Do you like him?" I asked Lizzy. "Maybe!" Lizzy said. "They're having the 2,000 Year Anniversary Ball in a couple of weeks. I hope he asks me!" Lizzy said excitedly. The conversation progressed throughout breakfast and until Professor Binns started talking in History of Magic. Which the girls and I have started to call HOM.
We luckily didn't get any homework from HOM. And left for Charms. I did so much better than yesterday and Professor Potter was very impressed. I wish Professor Litwick was as impressed. I received a P on my quiz and the feeling was awful. I was now averaging at an A instead of an E. So the class was given an essay on the same topic and I pledged to do better this time.
Potions was OK, I got and E on my essay and we talked about Amortentia (The love potion) and how it affects people. We learned that Tom Riddle (Voldemort's dad) was under a spell which is why he "loved" Merope Gaunt (Voldemort's mother)
My free period was next. I wanted to make it up to Zac for blowing him off yesterday, but I couldn't find him. In fact, I don't think I've seen him ALL day. I think he was avoiding me. I decided to do my homework instead then. The rest of free period, the girls acted out how they thought Ryan would ask Lizzy out. It was really annoying.
All of us practically ran to Care of Magical Creatures. This time, Professor Virneburg had bowtruckles on the table in front of her. No one had any idea what they were. We spent the entire class drawing a picture of them and labeling their body parts. What we didn't finish, was homework.
We were given the rest of the day off because the teachers had to discuss the upcoming tests for the sixth years. I wanted to spend it with Zac, but he had different ideas. I found him in the common room studying HOM. I walked over to him and sat right next to him. "What's wrong Zac?" I ask him. "Nothing," he answers. "Zac?" I press. "You wanna know whats wrong Marietta?" he said sternly as he stood up and faced me. I was surprised because he called me Marietta instead of Mari.
"Whats wrong is that you keep blowing me off!" he yelled. I was taken back by his tone off voice. "I had homework!" I yelled back. "So did I!" he yelled again, "But I wanted to spend time with you instead!" he yelled. "ALL WE'VE BEEN DOING IS SPENDING TIME TOGETHER!" I screamed. "I THOUGHT YOU LIKED IT!" he yelled. "I DID TOO!" I screamed and I stormed out of the room to my dorm.
I flung myself onto my bed and started crying. Lizzy and the girls walked in after me and started to comfort me. I told them I was fine and that I didn't need comforting. Lizzy said, "Don't get mad, but, Ryan asked me out," she said hesitantly. "Good for you Lizzy," I said trying to sound cheerful. But I couldn't. So I asked the girls to tell us about themselves. Charity started.
"I'm a half-blood and I live in Godrics Hallow. I'm an only child and my parents are amazing. My mom is a muggle and she is the assistant at a doctors office. My dad works in Gringotts. I don't know where. But he makes enough money to provide for us three. My dream job is to work at Gringotts just like him," she finished.
"Oh. Me next! OK, so. I'm a pure-blood and I have 3 siblings. They are all older than me and have already graduated from Hogwarts. My sister, Alaina, works in Hungary with Hungarian Horntails. My brother, Fergus, works in the Ministry. It's super confusing because he was recommended by his friend's, sister's, brother's, friend's, mom's, niece's, cousin's, dad, or something. And my other brother, works at Eeylop's Owl Emporium. I want to be a Professor here when I grow up," said Hannah.
And lastly, Ginny. "I am the second-cousin of Ginny Weasley. My parents are both dead and they left me mounds of money. My grandma takes care of me but she's so poor, that she forcefully takes my money for herself. I have one baby brother names Luke. I want to work at the Ministry of Magic when I get older."
Hearing them talk about themselves made me feel better. I skipped dinner and went straight to bed because I didn't want to see Zac at dinner. My dreams were OK. It was just me becoming head girl in my Sixth year.
"Well? Do you like him?" I asked Lizzy. "Maybe!" Lizzy said. "They're having the 2,000 Year Anniversary Ball in a couple of weeks. I hope he asks me!" Lizzy said excitedly.
