It's not Pansy you should be worrying about...


Are you ready?

''Don't you four look lovely...'' Fred said as the three girls walked down the staircase. Emily took his arm.

''Thank you... You look hansome yourself'' Alicia said, a smile on her face.

''I better be going... See you down there'' Hermione said as they headed towards the couches.

''Hi, Neville... You ready?'' Ginny said as he came down the stairs. He nodded and they followed Hermione out of the common room.

''Alright, Pavarti?'' Alicia said as the girl walked past.

''Waiting for Harry and Ron... Know where they are?'' She said and Alicia grinned.

''I'll go check...'' She said as she headed towards the boys dorm.

Knock Knock

''Yeah? Oh, hi Alicia... You look really nice'' Ron said as he cracked the door open an inch.

''Gee, thanks Ron... Tell Harry that Pavarti's waiting for him downstairs...'' She said, pulling at one of her scarlet curls.

''Right... Thanks, Alicia'' Harry said, pushing Ron out the way and down the stairs. ''Ron, you need to come too...'' He called and Ron followed him with a rather glum face.

''I'll wait downstairs, Jamie'' Alicia said, sticking her head round the door.

''No, I'm ready...'' He said and walked towards the door.

''You look like you dressed in the dark... Come here'' Alicia laughed as she walked into the room.

''Ron's right, you know... You look beautiful'' Jamie said as she sorted the collar of his robes out.

''Thanks...'' Alicia smiled as Jamie swept a curl behind her shoulder.

''Do I look decent enough for you now?'' He joked and Alicia narrowed her bright blue eyes.

''Not funny... You always are'' She said, letting a smile slide onto her face as Jamie kissed her cheek. ''Let's go down and have something to eat...''

''Honestly, Alicia, why did you choose him?'' Alicia's hand clenched and unclenched beside her.

''I don't see why you need to ask that, Malfoy! It's a simple enough answer!'' She said fiercly and Malfoy smirked.

''Why won't you answer the question?'' He asked. She snarled and he laughed again.

''I don't see why it matters, Malfoy... It's over and I didn't choose you!'' She spat and he advanced towards her. She backed herself into the side of the fountain.

''I'm warning you Malfoy, back off or I'll make you legs match'' She threatened, nodding towards the leg that was tightly bound.

''Accio wand'' He said lazily and her wand flew towards him. He caught it and placed it in his pocket.

''Alicia? You out here?'' Ginny's voice called from somewhere nearby.

''Yeah, I'll be back in soon...'' She called and Malfoy grinned. ''Give me my wand, Malfoy'' She said, worry rearing up in her stomach. The anger that was pulsing through her wasn't enough to drown out the panic of being wandless surrounded by several Slytherins.

''No, I don't think so... You won't be needing it'' He laughed as the group round her advanced again.

''Ginny, you seen Alicia?'' Jamie said, catching the redheads arm as she passed him.

''Um, she's outside somewhere... She said was coming back in later...'' She said shrugging. Jamie walked down the stairs and into the rose garden. The sound of tinkling water met his ears and then the sound of laughter from an approaching group made him stop and listen.

''It deserved what it got- choosing that over me'' Jamie's fist clenched as Malfoy walked past him and into the castle. Jamie started to walk through the bushes when he stumbled into Harry and Ron.

''Alright? You seen Alicia? She came out here when you started arguing with Hermione...'' He asked, looking at Ron. They shook their heads and Jamie carried on walking.

''Alicia?'' He called as he reached the fountain.

''Over here...'' He turned and stared at her.

''I'll kill him... I really will kill him'' He said, rushing forwards to help her to her feet.

''Please don't... Just leave it... It's just a couple of bruises! Just let it go'' She pleaded as she let him lead her towards the castle.

Tell me what you think!
