Storms Ahead

|Chapter 182 : Taunts|

"Thank you"

"Don't worry about it" I told Hermione, shrugging slightly with a smile as I flicked my wand, my robes and blazer disappearing as she gave me a smile back at me

"You needed to get it done so I done it for you-"

"But you went and changed your work so it wasn't the same-"

"Well I had to. I didn't want you to be accused of copying" I told her simply, sorting my collar as she gave me another smile

"I've got to go, I'll see you in Ancient Runes"

"Yeah, thank you, again"

"Don't worry about it" I said to her over my shoulder as I turned and walked away, climbing up the steps with a quiet sigh, getting stared at and avoided as I walked down the corridor by myself

"Murderer!"

"Yeah, that's me" I mumbled quietly to myself as it got repeated, over and over again as I glanced around warily

"Amelia!" Stopping I looked at Holly as she ran down the corridor towards me, a wrapped box tightly in her hands as she grinned at me and I stared at her

"What?"

"What's wrong?"

"Who said anything was wrong?" I asked as she smiled slightly before she passed me the box, a slight bit of weight to it as I looked between both her and it

"What is it?"

"I don't know, Chiara dropped it off to me this morning. She couldn't find you, she originally landed on your table and looked about for a few minutes but I went over and she seemed to be a bit relieved" she explained to me in one breath as I raised an eyebrow before flicking my wand, it disappearing too as she looked at me

"You're not going to open it-?"

"No. You're being nosy"

"I know" she admitted, laughing as I smiled slightly and I shook my head as I started walking and she walked beside me

"Last time we spoke was when-"

"When I forced you up against the roof-"

"That hurt-"

"You deserved it-"

"I don't think so-"

"I know so" I sighed as she grinned at me and I tried to hide my smile, nudging her slightly as we waited on the staircase until it clicked into place and we carried on

"Who do-?"

"Murderer!"

"-you think s-?"

"Freak!"

"Sent it?"

"Skank!"

"Murderer!"

"I don't know" I told her quietly with a sigh as I glanced at her, looking at her as she stared over her shoulder before looking back

"Just ignore them"

"What do you think I do?"

"It looks like you take it to heart"

"Take it to heart? Holly, I don't have a heart to take it to-"

"I love your comments-"

"Everton's six feet under!" Stopping dead in my tracks my smile dropped as Holly done the same as she turned around in and instant as I stood there, my mind completely blank as I blinked, my trust issues raising massively while my skin burned a bright white colour and my eyes started to cloud over

"Murderer!"

"Look! The freak's freaking out!"

"What's wrong, Black?! Can't handle the fact that you're a killer?!-"

"Shut up!" I screamed at the top of my lungs, half from infuriated rage and the other half from agony as the searing pain ripped through my spine and I turned around, a strong surge of energy growing in and around me as I let out another scream as the feeling of all the built up anger and energy leaving at once came over me and a cold feeling surrounded me and I dropped backwards.
