Secrets

" Why did you go to the hospital wing ?", the raven haired boy whispered as Carly and him worked on their potions side by side .

She didn't bother looking at him as she crushed an ingredient in her mortar .

" I asked her a potion to prevent pregnancy ".

The boy stiffened slightly and looked at her . He didn't expect that answer .

" You did what ?!", he hissed , snapping out of his brief stupor , sounding slightly appalled at her words .

" What I said ," she answered ," Do you think we were planting daisies when we were ....you know ?. Because I'm pretty sure we weren't planting flowers ."

He shot her a glare . " Profound ," he said .

She rolled her eyes . She didn't even say anything that can be classified as profound .

" You're being silly", she remarked ," There's nothing prof_"

" Miss Snow , Mister Potter , would you please refrain from speaking in my classroom ", Professor Snape drawled lazily as he walked past them ," and might I add ,Miss Snow , you already have lost points for your house . I do not think that you want to lose more ,Hm ?."

The boy stiffened once more . By the look on his face , Carly could see that he was afraid . She wondered about it .

" Yes, sir ," Carly said politely . She was always polite even if the teacher was like this one , a right foul git .

The boy shot her a glare and mouthed " Kiss arse ," to her.

She tried to ignore it . Even though it stung . She wasn't a kiss arse . She's only being polite .

She lifted her hand to catch Professor Snape's attention .

" Yes ,Miss Snow ?", he spoke a few moments later .

" May I please go sit somewhere else , sir ?".

Harry Potter gaped at her , but she ignored it . He probably thought that she would do anything to sit with him in class. Newsflash, she wouldn't . He was rude to her and treated her different than she would like to be treated .

" Mister Malfoy , take your things and move to Mister Potter's table . Miss Snow , you may move to Miss Bulstrode's table ."

Bulstrode . Carly didn't like the girl much . She's a bully like many of Malfoy's group . The only decent person are Daphne Greengrass .

She swallowed as she moved her things next to the girl .

The girl was what one would call big boned . At least she wasn't as large as those bodyguards of Malfoy .

She wasn't ugly , though . Carly felt average beside her .

Carly was silent throughout the whole class trying not to disrupt the class any further . Nor did she want the girl to complain about her .

By the time class was over she had to stay behind to get the details about her detention.

It didn't take long and when she walked out of class she almost bumped into Harry Potter .

" Aren't you cutting it too close ?", she asked when he steadied her .

He shrugged . " I only wanted to talk to you . "

He never used her name . She wondered if he know it anyways.

" I'm not available right now . I have a cla_"

" I know . Just listen for a moment , alright?."

She sighed softly ,then nodded . " Go on ."

He took her by the hand and lead her to an empty classroom . It wasn't their 'secret place' it was just another abandoned classroom that wasn't used anymore.
