It was now March, and February was now far behind the past of Finley's embarrassment, she never looked at the older years the same ever again after the overly sexual messages that will forever scar her mentally.
It was also the month where the idea of the duelling club was a waste of time and everyone was waiting for the next Quidditch game, it was Gryffindor against Hufflepuff too. Students tossed aside the pathetic duelling club and focused on the more important events such as house cup. Though Finley was still avoiding her Gryffindor friends she still asked the Weasley twins to let her borrow a scarf from them to support them, but of course instead of a scarf they gave her an old jersey.
"Are those hand me downs too?" Blaise scrunched his nose as he saw the Weasley jersey that was stuffed in her bag.
"They aren't, they look new actually. I wonder if it was McGonagall's work, who else would donate new jerseys," she said as she copied notes on her parchment.
"To be fair, we didn't even expect her to buy Potter his Nimbus," Theo pointed out from beside Draco who sat behind her and Blaise.
"Well I am still friends with the Weasleys so I need to support my friends," she said dropping the conversation of donations and wealth because she was not up to the task to explain how she inherited Sixteen Gringotts vaults any time soon.
To her shock yes she inherited sixteen, even with that fact she offered Snape one vault full of galleons to buy him a new house with a better lab but he declined saying the house was named to him by his late mother Eileen Prince. It was still a mystery to her who her grandparents were and she was named Evans and not a well known name if she even had rich grandparents. The book Snape gave her that Christmas was only the last summary of their family tree that stopped with the Peverell family, the generations after that were no more. Apparently those vaults were the treasures and money from the sixteen generations of Peverell and she never knew what to do with all of them.
"Finney bear reckon we can get snacks before the match tomorrow?" Blaise asked hopeful. Since she befriended the Hufflepuff prefect she was the food runner, she had a good friendship with Cedric that she was never caught on late night kitchen raids. No one knew of this other than her best friends and Draco of course, and maybe also Ginny Weasley whom she shared the first kitchen raid with.
"I'll see what I can do," she winked as they were finally dismissed. She held her notebook in her arms, that one notebook that Harry had given her for her birthday.
"Don't see! Do!" Theo complained as he ran beside her.
"Theokins, we talked about this. We can't abuse prefect powers," she pouted making Theo groan from the most ugliest nickname Finley has ever called him.
"But you are abusing the privileges of being friends with a prefect."
She waved her hand at him as if it was smoke, "Rubbish, I would never."
"Never my ass," Blaise rumbled as he tried ruffling Finley's hair that was tied in twin scorpions and failing. "Mess my hair again, you will find them boneless or off your body."
"I feel like I'm being threatened by a bunny," Blaise rolled his eyes, but of course he was scared, he knows that she was never all talk. She bites without anyone knowing which was scary.
As the three Slytherin friends walked towards their charms classroom, Finley saw a familiar mop of read hair running into the girl's bathroom. "Ginny?" She asked.
"Who?" She heard one of her friends ask. Instead of replying she gave her bag to Theo and ran in the bathroom to look for Ginny. As she went inside there she was just entering a cubicle, she walked towards the cubicle as she heard it flushed.
"Ginny?" She knocked.
"Ginny are you there?" She knocked again. She heard the toilet flush again accompanied by heavy breathing, she knocked on the cubicle door again this time she was much more aggressive.
"Ginny!" And she flew back when the door was forcefully opened, there stood a horrified Ginevra Weasley, pale as she watched the cubicle in fear.
"Ginny what's wrong?" She stood up as she engulfed the red head girl in a hug ready to shield her from anything that's a threat.
"Are you okay?" She asked the scared girl.
"Finley," she muttered as her scared eyes welled in tears. She hushed the girl and hugged her closer, she glanced at the cubicle that was still making a flushing sound. And then she heard crying from the other cubicle, she was not ready to find out who and what mad the sound.
"Let's get you to Madam Pomfrey, yeah?"
On their way to the hospital wing there Madam Pomfrey fussed all around for the petrified students, she forget about this bit. And she was sure that Ginny didn't want to see id one of them were her friends.
"What are you doing here again Finley? Did you get near a rose again?" Madam Pomfrey asked as she grew tired of seeing the girl in her hospital wing.
"Not this time," she said as she felt Ginny clutch on to her robes as they walked inside the hospital wing. Ginny was now shaking and cold and assuming it was from the shock of seeing many petrified students in one room must be too much for her.
"I saw her in the bathroom scared, I don't know what to do," Finley said patting Ginny's head comfortingly.
"I see, I'll notify her head of house and her brother Percy."
"Thank you."
She turned towards Ginny who couldn't tear her eyes off the petrified students, she blocked them by placing her hands on her cold cheeks. "Hey, you'll be alright. You'll be okay, yeah?" She said as she gave Ginny a kiss on the forehead before saying a goodbye and a promise to visit her again after classes.
"Thanks again Ced," Finley said as she hugged the Hufflepuff prefect to gave her food that very next day before the game. He was already wearing his quidditch uniform when he met up with Finley who was just about to run up the steps to the Slytherin stands.
"No problem Finn," he said as he scratched the back of his neck.
"Good luck on the game!" She added as she held on the basket with both hands. She was wearing white pants and trainers with her borrowed Gryffindor jersey that for sure was to earn cringed reactions from her house mates, not that she cared.
"I feel betrayed that you aren't going to support me," Cedric faked hurt.
Rolling her eyes as she shoved him gently. "To be real with you I'm betraying my house by wearing red today but so what," she laughs.
"In that case then," Cedric took off his Hufflepuff Scarf from his neck and placed it on her neck.
"Now you're betraying the team that you betrayed your house for," he grinned.
Finley bursted out laughing at him, he was quite correct with that too. She waved goodbye and said her last good luck towards Cedric as she ran up the Slytherin stands in her red sweater jersey and yellow and black scarf around her neck. She felt Slytherins eyes burning the back of her head, but clearly she didn't care, because frankly if it were her team she would've painted her face with green.
"You traitor!" Theo gasped clutching his chest as if he had a heart attack.
"Shut up, I saw you trying to flirt with Eloise Magden and you don't see me calling you desperate," she scoffed.
"How did you—"
Closing his mouth, Blaise bursted in laughter once again. "You boys need girlfriends," she rolled her eyes.
"Yeah yeah, we know you're dating Diggory, Evans. No need to point out that Theo needs a woman," Blaise said leaning back on the stands opening the basket Finley had brought in.
"I can get a girlfriend whenever I want," Theo said grabbing a pasty from the basket.
"And for your information Blaisie Waisie," she cooed at the now cringing boy.
"Cedric and I aren't dating," she said as she took out a cookie from under the cakes and pasties because she didn't want the boys to steal them first.
"Oh yeah because you have a thing for Draco," Theo teased this time wiggling his eyebrows at her. She blushed.
"I do not!"
"You do really, the late night talks in the common room? Really? I thought you hated him," Blaise teased as well.
"I have come to terms that he is a prat who can only be capable of change if and only if he was smacked on the head hard enough to shake his brain, other than that he will still be a bullying toerag," she said as she took the plate of cookies from under the basket that she was suppose to share with her friends.
"But—"
"Quidditch is cancelled."
"What?" The three were shocked as they looked at the Professor who said so. There McGonagall was talking to Harry and Ron who visibly paled from what he just told her.
"Go and find out what happened, we'll bring this back to the kitchen," Theo said pushing his Finley to be with her Gryffindor friends.
"I love you both," she said hugging her best friends as she ran down the stands towards Harry and Ron.
"Wizard's chess on the one who gets to hog the cookies?"
"You're on!"
