Storms Ahead

|Chapter 195 : Arrangements|

"Blaise! You bitch!" I shouted as I threw the book back at him laughing as I rubbed at my arm and Pansy tried to stifle her laughter from beside me as I turned around with a smile as I shook my head amused

"Miss Black please stop disrupting my lesson and switch seats with Mr Zabini" Binns' voice said in its usual drone as I looked up surprised before reaching under the table and grabbing my bag and parchment as I swapped seats with Blaise, kicking him when I passed as I gave him a grin and I sat next to Draco as I lowered my voice

"Where the fuck did he come from?" I asked quietly as I kept my eyes on him as he started talking about giant wars and Draco let out a quiet laugh as a smile grew on my face and I glanced at him

"Seriously though, I didn't even notice him come in"

"That's because he drifted in through the blackboard like he usually does-"

"Oh right, I always found that pretty edgy" I mumbled as I started jotting down notes for awhile until my arm was poked

"What is it?"

"What?"

"What do you need?"

"Bold assumption that I needed something"

"So you just poked my arm for the sake of it?" I asked quietly as I turned my head towards him and watched as he rested his head against his hand and nodded with a smirk before poking at my arm again as I shook my head and went back to taking notes as he continued to poke at my arm and I tried not to laugh

"Lia..."

"Don't tell me you're going to ask to start poking my head now" I said laughing as I dipped my quill back in the ink pot and started writing again, having to put up with the poking of my arm for over ten minutes

"No, it's... you're going to want to see this" he mumbled quietly as I turned my head to him as he pointed to the folded piece of parchment on the desk as I looked at it confused, my eyes narrowed slightly as I sat my quill down and glanced around before grabbing it and unfolding it

Quidditch Pitch
Wands drawn
Within next three days - let the seconds sort out a time

R. Weasley

Reading over it I passed it to Draco and I watched as he scanned it and a smirk formed on my face as he glanced towards me with his eyebrows raised, a smirk slowly growing on his face as he passed me it back and I nudged the back of Blaise's chair as he turned around and I held it out to him as he took it and Pansy looked over his shoulder. As I glanced at Draco we both turned around and looked at Ron who was sitting on the other side of the classroom staring at us expectantly with Harry beside him as we turned away and I tried to keep my smirk small as I turned my back to them

"Are you going to do it?"

"Of course I am-"

"What if you get caught?"

"Draco, it's Ron Weasley, it'll be over in about three and a half minutes"

"What if something serious happens?"

"Like what? He hits me with a curse and I bleed out on the quidditch pitch?" I asked as I let out a quiet snort of laughter and looked at him

"Draco with his own knowledge the most damage he could do to me is give me a paper cut- I'll be fine" I told him as the look slowly started to vanish from his face as Blaise handed the note back to me as he and Pansy turned around and slowly inched their chairs nearer as I picked my quill back up and quickly wrote a response, a quiet laugh could be heard from beside me and I looked at him with a smirk as I started to fold it up

"What?"

"The difference between your writing" he said quietly as I smiled slightly and took my wand out of my pocket and glanced at Binns as I flicked my wand and watched as the parchment came to life in the form of a tiny mouse as I picked it up and it skittered about in the palm of my hands as I whispered to it quietly before setting it down as it ran between the tables and chairs and over to where Ron was

"What did you tell it to do?"

"Just watch" I mumbled as I watched with a smirk as Ron picked it up and shook his hand in pain after the mouse bit at his thumb and a satisfied smile crossed my face as I turned back, finding Blaise and Pansy right in front of us as I jumped slightly

"Crikey, you two are scary looking-"

"Fuck you-"

"So are you doing it?"

"Of course I am"

"So what did you write back to him?"

"'You're on'" I quoted to them amused as the two glanced over to him

"He's going to have Potter as his second- that's a given"

"It's always going to be Harry, speaking of which I'll be needing a second... Draco? What do you say? You don't have to-"

"I'll do it- anything to see Weasley put in his place" he mumbled quietly with a smirk as we all sat there amused

"We'll talk more about it in the common room- if Binns finds out you moved seat you'll be in detention quicker than you can click your fingers" I said to Blaise and Pansy quietly as they nodded and quickly moved back to their table as I rolled my parchment up and tucked it away into my bag with everything else

"I'm done taking notes-"

"Are you okay?"

"Yeah I'm fine" I told Draco, laughing quietly as he looked at me with his eyebrows raised

"You're not entirely fine"

"Okay I'll give you that- it's just, three days? That's pretty tight"

"That's true, but you'll be fine. Like you said, the worst he can do is give you a paper cut"
