13 ~ No Regrets

"What's that?" Remus asked and the others shrugged, deciding to venture closer to the noise. They came across a boy on the floor, his sandy brown hair ruffled and his brown eyes glistening slightly, a Hufflepuff in the year below them, he was beneath two Slytherins, also in Fourth Year, 

"You gonna cry like a true Hufflepuff?" one of them grinned coldly, pointing his wand at the boy, 

"Why don't you go find yourself a little boyfriend to comfort you, Bubble?" the other girl laughed. Eloise was about to step forward, along with James, when a girl rushed in, her tight, brown curls bounced as she ran, her blue and bronze Ravenclaw robes flowing behind her, 

"Leave him alone!" she shouted at the Slytherins, her chocolate skin flushed with anger, 

"Oh well if it isn't Little Miss Jordan," the Slytherin girl called, 

"I would say you've come to help your boyfriend, but I've heard you don't swing that way either." the Ravenclaw's frown deepened, 

"What is it with you gays and sticking together?" The Slytherin boy asked harshly and the Ravenclaw crossed her arms, 

"What is it with you Slytherins and being complete arseholes?" she asked. The Slytherin boy started towards her but Eloise got there first, wand in her hand, 

"Don't even think about it, Sunshine." she said, smiling patronisingly, 

"Ooooh a blood traitor, this just got interesting." the Slytherin boy smirked, "Whatcha gonna do, Malfoy?" he asked and Eloise narrowed her eyes, 

"It's Potter, and THIS!" Eloise twirled her wand and the boy stood stock still for a moment until there seemed to be a ball growing on his left arm, it was growing at such an alarming rate that it ripped his sleeve. It continued to sprout out of his arm until there, on his left side, was an extra arm. The boy screamed as the arm moved, repeatedly slapping him in the face, he ran off in the direction of the castle. Eloise turned to the other Slytherin, now looking notably less cocky, "Verum Strepitus" Eloise said cooly, no change was visible on the girl. She opened her mouth to, presumably, mock Eloise, but her voice didn't come out, all that came out was the snort of a pig. The girl tried to speak again but the same thing happened, she rushed off, following the lead of her friend, squealing the entire way.

Eloise walked forwards, holding her hand out to the boy on the floor, "You okay?" she asked as he graciously took her hand, 

"That was- That was bloody brilliant! Merlin! Those hexes were something else." she laughed softly at his eagerness and turned to his friend, 

"Ignore them, their lives are so mind-numbingly dull that the only way they find entertainment is the torture of cool people like us." the girl laughed, "I'm Eloise by the way, Eloise Potter." the girl nodded, 

"Yes, you and your friends are very popular." she gestured to the four boys, grinning at the three. Eloise dropped her voice slightly, 

"You shouldn't have said that in front of them, their egos are big enough as it is." the Ravenclaw laughed again, 

"Oi! I'll have you know I'm very humble." Sirius called, 

"Yeah! It's just hard when you're as great as me." James smirked, walking closer and slinging an arm around Eloise's shoulder, "I'm James Potter, this nutter's brother." he said, nodding his head towards Eloise who nudged him in the ribs, 

"That's Sirius Black, Remus Lupin and Peter Pettigrew." Eloise said, pointing at each of the boys as she said their names. 

"I'm Daya Jordan and this is my friend Oscar Thomas." Daya said smiling at the group of five in front of her, "Thanks for helping, I guess the rumours are true...you are as nice as they say."
