Laura left the astronomy tower in a hurry . And thank Merlin she did not walk into a prefect it was already past curfew . As Laura hurried down to the Slytherin common room a cold voice spoke 'You're late ' . Malfoy was standing near the fireplace in the common room with his hands folded and a smirk playing in his face . Laura said in a deadly monotonous voice 'And i think you're not a prefect ?' . Malfoy scowled and left towards the boy's dormitory . Laura walked towards the girls .
The next day was a Saturday . Snape had to make an announcement in the common room so all the Slytherins had gathered in the common room . 'As you are aware of the Triwizard tournament , this Christmas evening a Yule Ball would be held in the honour of the Triwizard tournament . You can enjoy the evening with your partners of your choice , quite now . As i was saying and please don't do something that will lower the reputation of this school or Slytherin now thats enough .' Draco 's eyes at once landed on Laura and a smirk played on his face . Whereas Laura was thinking about completing her Herbology homework .
As there were no classes on Saturday Laura went down to the Quidditch pitch and started with her Herbology homework . As it was dawning December it was quite cold . After a few minutes someone sat beside her Laura looked up to see who it was and saw it was the Gryffindor quidditch keeper (A/N i mean this is Oliver wood I Know he left last year but i couldn't think of someone else so mi scusi) . Laura waited him to say something and he did 'It's freezing out here,lass you should be in your common room .' Laura replied 'I was really bored and I have nothing to do so I thought coming down here would be relaxing .' Oliver quickly said 'So would like to go to the Hogsmeade trip with me .' Laura cocked her eyebrows and said 'And when is it exactly ?' 'Today lass ' he held his hand out 'Oliver Wood Gryffindor quidditch team captain .' Laura took his hand 'Laura Lestrange .' Oliver said 'Meet me in half an hour in near the gate ' Laura's face lightened 'Then I should be hurrying 'Laura left with a smile .
After half an hour they left for Hogsmeade . Oliver gave a little cough 'Um where do you want to go ?' Laura was thinking when someone tapped her shoulder 'Boo!' Laura turned an gasped 'Ah Holtzmann!' . Holtzmann started laughing . Oliver made a disgusted face and said 'Do you know this weirdo ?' . Laura protested 'Thats rude no-' but she was cut off by Jillian 'And if i may ask what exactly are you doing with my gi-friend ?'. 'Ugh shut up both of you lets just calm down and go inside the three broomsticks, shall we ?' Laura stopped them . They started walking towards the three broomsticks while Jillian whispered in Wood's ears 'I'll see you later ' through gritted teeth. Oliver gave a "Oh im scared look". Jillian swung a arm around Laura's shoulders . They entered the three broomsticks . They found a table and sat down Oliver sat across Laura and Jillian . They started talking and sitting in a table nearby was Draco and his cronies . Draco spoted Laura and couldn't help but stare at her as she talked and laughed and smiled . Jillian saw that and whispered something to Laura . Laura looked at Draco and gave a beautiful smile but before Draco could do something she looked away . This was the first time Laura had smiled at him . 'Let's order butterbeer shall we I'll go and place the order' exclaimed Laura . 'I'll go with you ' said Wood . 'I'LL stay here and wait' said Jillian then she motioned a I am watching
you sign at Wood . They walked towards the counter and Draco too left his table and walked towards the counter . 'Stay away from her' he hissed at Wood . Wood rolled his eyes and said 'Im really scared .' Draco was about to leave when he felt a tap on 'Why were you staring at her ?' a weird looking girl who he recognized was sitting with Laura at the table . 'Its non of your business ' replied Draco . 'You were staring at my gi-friend and it's non of my business you say ' she says anger rising in her voice .'How dare you talk to me you filthy little mudblood ' said Malfoy and before Holtzmann can react . A hand went straight across his face , and before Draco could react Laura grabbed him by his shoulder and said in a deadly slow voice 'Malfoy I'm sure your Dad will not be happy if i break your face in front of everyone in this café . So apologize to Jillian right now '. Draco was stubborn and said 'I won't.' Laura shot him a dagger look and he blurted out 'S-sorry '. Laura let the hold of his shoulder and he fell down and scurried away . Oliver was shocked but he rather look scared Jillian was shocked but also had a proud look on her face .
