Riddle-Lestrange

Chapter 10

Trixie's POV

I was sat in the Great Hall by myself, since everyone was now too much of a wuss to come talk to me as I could set a load of snakes on them, a lovely rumour that had been started, it was a Saturday therefore I had no lessons all day, however there was a Quidditch match between Hufflepuff and Gryffindor later and I was going to support Gryffindor, as well as to observe Hufflepuff's weaknesses, I was pulled from my thoughts when someone sat next to me, I lifted my head to see Fred smiling at me, I returned it.

"What brings you here, Mr. Weasley?" I asked,

"I thought of something to make up for breaking your ribs" he answered,

"And you're not scared that I could set a snake on you?" I questioned, he chuckled shaking his head,

"It was pretty obvious that you told that snake to back off so it doesn't bother me one bit" he commented making me smile, "So, are you joining me today?" He asked as he stood up and extended his hand to me,

"I guess" I sighed as I took his hand and stood up, he smiled and lead me out of the Great hall and the main part of the castle.

Fred took me on a Picnic down by the Lake, which was extremely peaceful,

"Don't you have a Quidditch match?" I asked, he nodded

"It's not for another hour" He shrugged, I smiled shaking my head,

"Don't forget that we still need to make it up to the castle, then you have to get changed, and make our way down to the Quidditch pitch" I reminded, he sighed and stood up before helping me up as well before we made our way back to the Castle

"I hope you enjoyed this, and that it made up for breaking your ribs" He commented, I nodded,

"I have and it has. However, I would enjoy to do this again sometime" I smiled, a bright smile appeared on his face,

"You would?!" He exclaimed, I chuckled and nodded

"I would" I repeated, he gave me a bone-crushing hug causing me to groan, he pulled away

"Sorry" He apologised, I smiled

"Don't worry about it" I chuckled before hugging him, he happily returned it resting his chin on top of my head, I pulled away and took his hand "Come on. You're going to be late" I encouraged pulling him along, I waited outside the Great hall for him to return from getting changed,

"Let's go!" He exclaimed as he came up to me taking a hold of my hand and running down to the Quidditch pitch,

"Where's Fred?" Wood questioned George as we approached,

"I'm here" Fred announced letting go of my hand and joining the team,

"Have a nice date?" Harry teased as he came up to me, I rolled my eyes

"It was a lovely one. However, don't tell Hermione" I replied making him laugh, "I mean it Harry, promise me" I demanded, he stopped laughing and nodded

"I promise" He smiled before McGonagall approached the team.

"Match has been cancelled, Wood take your team to Gryffindor Tower" She informed making me raise an eyebrow,

"You can't cancel Quidditch" Wood asserted, the devotion for the game with this boy,

"Potter, Lestrange. Let's find Mr. Weasley" She asserted, ignoring Wood, we nodded and searched the Gryffindor stand for Ron, we eventually found him and was lead to the Hospital Wing, "I warn you, this could be a wee bit of a shock" McGonagall warned before I notice Hermione petrified, my eyes widened and ran to her side,

"Hermione..." Ron muttered in disbelief,

"She was found near the Library along with this" McGonagall informed showing a hand mirror, "Does it mean anything to any of you?" she questioned, I shook my head

"No" The three of us answered in unison, she nodded and moved away from us.

New rules had been set in place, however instead of going back to my room, I sat in the chair next to Hermione's bed,

"Miss. Lestrange, you can go. She'll be safe here" Madam Pomfrey smiled, I shook my head

"I refuse to leave my sister while she's in this state" I retorted, she sighed and continued to make a bed,

"Well there is a bed made for you" She mentioned before going to her desk, I held Hermione's hand and felt some paper, I removed it and un-crumpled it, I read it and my eyes widened

"This is why you were in the Library when you was attack" I muttered before continuing to read it,

Instant death awaits any who meet this giant serpent's eye

"That explains the mirror" I hummed before crumpling the paper back up in my hand "Hermione you're a genius" I smiled before dosing off in the chair.
