Storms Ahead

|Chapter 179 : Final Thoughts|

"So let me get this right.... you screamed at the guy who likes you and you like back? Just because he was making sure you were alright"

"Fuck off Oscar" I muttered quietly as Tristan continued dabbing at my face with a cotton ball, adding more dittany to it as I sat still while he looked at me while capping the dittany bottle

"So what classes did you skip?"

"Potions and double history of magic"

"I would've done the same to be honest-"

"Are you going to apologise to the Ravenclaw?" Oscar asked as I looked at him, tempted to shrug as I looked at him with an undecided look

"I honestly don't know, if I see him I will"

"Parkinson and Zabini are looking for you"

"They're always looking for me" I mumbled before standing

"I've got to go. I'll see you later" I told the two as I left the empty charms classroom, walking down the steps quickly, everyone in the hall for lunch as I headed to my dorm, my bag sitting down beside my bed as I went for it

"Where have you been?!"

"Ehh... I've been- I've been around" I told Pansy quietly, the bathroom door having snapped open as she stared at me, nose and cheeks pink as she held her hairbrush tightly in her hand and I looked at her

"I was so- fucking- paranoid!" She screamed at me, throwing things at me in between words as I caught the brush, toothpaste and shampoo bottle that had been thrown at me full force as I looked at her surprised

"You've got a good throw-"

"Fuck off! Where were you?! You skipped potions and history of magic and then you obviously weren't in Lupin's class because you had fucking Transfiguration or some shit! And I hadn't seen you since last fucking night! You didn't even sleep in the dorm! The only person that had seen you was Nott and he was waiting for you outside potions for ages!" She shouted at me as I stared at her, blinking as she grabbed her deodorant can and lobbed it at me as I narrowly dodged it, sitting down on the floor behind my bed as I peeked over it to look at her

"I'm back now-"

"Amelia!"

"Don't act like you're fucking angry with me because you're not" I told her, pointing at her with my eyebrows raised as she sighed at me and wandered over as I kicked out her can from under my bed, a ball of scrunched up parchment coming out with it as I started to uncrumple it

"Where were you?"

  

"I was sitting in the courtyard"

"Why?" She asked as I shrugged and I flattened it out, my eyebrows raising slightly as I stared at the magpie contract as she sat down on my bed and spoke quietly

"Granger was looking for you"

"She was?"

"Yeah, said she needed to give you something- What's that?"

"It's the magpie contract"

"You still have it?"

"Yep-"

"Are you going to-?"

"Already have" I cut over her, dropping my quill as I looked at my signature on the back page, a few ticks in boxes as I looked up at her with a smile

"You have?"

"I have-"

"Actually?!"

"Yes-"

"Oh my god! Come on!" She shouted as she grabbed my hands and I was dragged to my feet as I was pulled from the dorm at a run

"What's happening? Where're we going?!" I asked loudly as we darted between people and I was shoved up the stairs before getting pushed into the owlery

"Why're we-?"

"Fucking send the thing off!"

"Agh! Okay!" I said loudly, shielding my face when she started jumping up and down with joy and I called Chiara down, her landing on my shoulder as she took the contract gently and she flew off as I turned to her

"I suppose I better tell the team-"

"I missed it?!"

"Sorry Oliver" I apologised, a smile and light laugh as I was grabbed and dragged down the stairs as I tried to offer a wave as he continued to stand there breathless, the end of January certainly proving to be better than the month as a whole.
