"What have you been staring at this whole time?" Pansy asked snapping me out of my thoughts. "Nothing. I just zoned out" I said, still staring at the spot, they all frowned and looked to where i was staring. I finally figured out what it was and frowned with them. "Is there something there?" Pansy said as she turned to me. "No".
"I'll catch up with you. I wanna check something" Draco said, still sat down. I frowned when he turned to me. "What have you been looking at?"
"Nothing"
He squinted his eyes at me and stood up before closing the door and blinds. "Didn't mummy ever tell you not to eavesdrop Potter? Petrificus Totalus!" there was a big bang on the floor before i rolled my eyes. He walked up and revealed Harry. "Oh yeah, she was dead before you could wipe the drool off your chin" He spat before kicking his nose. "You've always been bad at keeping secrets, Granger"
"He brought it on himself" I grumbled as i walked to the door behind him. "Enjoy your ride back to London" He growled before we left and stepped out onto the station.
When we got out he stopped me and looked down. "I'm going to make this clear, and i don't want you to shout"
"Then don't give me a reason to"
"I didn't kill the dog"
"Then how do you explain the blood all over you?"
"It was Blaise"
"How do i know you aren't lying?"
"I can show you" I grumbled as he brought his wand to his head and drew a shape with a light string. I watched with a frown as i saw Beast run up to him and jump on him before Blaise ran at him with a knife. "Why didn't you tell me?"
"Because he told me not to"
"And when have you ever listened to anyone?"
"Have you got anything else to say?" He raised an eyebrow and i looked up at him. "Yeah. You're too tall now" I grumbled before i walked to the gate.
"We need to search you"
"No thanks"
He looked down to my boot and raised his eyebrow. "Why do you have a knife?"
"Protection"
"From what?" Filch squinted his eyes at me. "You already know" I smiled before handing it to him. He frowned as the knife disappeared and appeared back in my boot. "My knife. Stays with me" I growled, still with a smile. "Bye, Bye" I waved before skipping past him. "I'm keeping an eye on you Miss Granger"
"Go ahead. I'm a rather private person"
Pansy frowned as i sat down with a smile. "What's made you so happy?"
"Oh i don't know. I just find it funny how Blaise let me think it was Draco that killed Beast" I smiled a fake smile at him before it went away "I'd watch yourself if i were you Zabini. I don't let stuff like this go"
He sat up straight and looked down when Draco finally sat down. "Why does he look so miserable?"
"You would to if you were just threatened" Blaise growled as he looked back at me. "The mutt deserved it"
"Oh no" Draco muttered. I grabbed my knife from my boot and grabbed Blaise's hand before stabbing the knife into the his sleeve and into the table, making him jump up in fear. "You missed"
"I never miss"
Whilst Dumbledore was talking i frowned down at my hand as it shook uncontrollably. "Why is your hand doing that?"
"It happens. I can't stop it yet though"
"Why?"
"You'll se-" I frowned at his wrist as i saw black lines, a tattoo maybe? "I'll what?" He frowned. "Uh, You'll see" I shook my head and turned back to Dumbledore. My hand started to shake more and Hermione frowned at me and slowly shook her head. I curled my fist into a shaky ball and slammed it on the table "Ow" I muttered as i shook it. The hall went silent as everyone looked at me Dumbledore just shook his head and continued. "What the hell did you do that for!?"
"To stop my hand from shaking unless i wanted a heart attack"
"You're so fucking weird"
"Thanks" I nodded with a smile and frowned when i looked at Draco's arm again, which was now completely covered. "Is there a problem?"
"No" I looked at him and gave a slight smile. His eyes flashed pink as he glanced at me and he shook his head. "You good?" I frowned.
"Yeah" He muttered before looking at Dumbledore again.
As we were leaving the hall, Hermione pulled me aside with a serious face. "I may have told you to break the curse but I still stand by my words last year. Stay away from him"
"Why?"
"I mean it Riley. Stay away from him or I'll make you"
"Don't threaten me!"
"Then don't go near him"
I hesitated for a while before nodding with a sigh. "Can I go to bed now?"
"Yes" she smiled before skipping away.
And that's where this bit ends. Me going to bed 馃槈
