26🔴he's back

The next two weeks went by in the blink of an eye for Emerald, Pansy had gone to visit her sick grandmother in hospital and Marcus was run off his feet with Quiddich tryouts, so it had just been Emerald,Theo and Blaise .Emerald had grown closer to Theo and they seemed almost as inseparable as her and Blaise,the only exception being when Emerald had been studying with Harry Potter for their project . Them too had grown closer as a pair ,Harry even classing Emerald as a friend of his as they laughed and joked through the whole project.

Emerald was currently sat on the sofa in the common room ,her back rested against a couple of cushions, a book in her lap and her feet on Theo's thighs ,Blaise had decided to go to the kitchen to see if he could get his hands on some food for the trio. Emerald was too engrossed in her book to notice Theo's gaze raising to her every few minutes, lingering on her face twisting up to stop herself from laughing at her muggle book,pulling a half smile of his own onto his face before going back to his own studies.

Suddenly the door burst open and in walked a first year ,they seemed flustered and out of breath,

"Miss Emerald" he panted out "Miss Emerald, Harry Potter would like to see you right away, very angry he was" he looked scared

She chuckled ruffling his hair "just Emerald is fine Toby" she reassured "I'll see you later Theo" he nodded in response and she left the common room ,spotting Harry leaning against the wall a few feet away.

"Hey Harry what's up?" She asked lightly

"Bloody git has knocked over our roots and got them wet, they're useless now!"he huffed out , "I've got to get more from Professor Snape I was just wondering if he was in..." he rushed out

"Who has" she asked calmly

"Bloody Ron" he looked angry

"Harry it's fine Snape's got some in his classroom I'll go and get them" she reassured him

"Oh okay,I'll come with you we might be able to finish this potion , It's due on Wednesday after all?" he offered

"Okay then come on"

They made their way down to the classroom and removed the necessary items from the cupboard, accio'ing their potion to them and adding the roots ,a few hours passed like minutes and they found themselves with a perfected potion sitting in their couldron.

"Hey Em" Harry called making her look over to where he had made his way over to the ingredients cupboard "what's this?" He pulled out a bag of white power

"That's flour, you know for like baking" she laughed ,

"Oooh baking" he stuck his finger into the power

"Wait Harry don't..." she didn't get the chance to finish before Harry stuck his finger in his mouth ,screwing his nose up at the taste and coughing ,being way too close to the bag and blowing a white mist of the substance all over himself

Emerald was laughing so hard she clutched her stomach breathlessly

"You.... look ....like ....a ...snowman" she cackled

Harry turned and smirked at her "oh you think that's funny do you?" He said advancing towards her ,still clutching the bag

Her face fell "no Harry don't......." but it was too late,he reached into the bag and pulled out a handful launching it at her.

It hit her square in the chest ,billowing all down her front, she stared at him in disbelief for a moment

"I can't believe you just did that" she tried to keep a straight face walking towards him
