Written by @hauntqd Collab with @lily-pad <3 Warning(s): None ♕ Chapter Two ♕ (PoV: Darius Littlewood - 1st Person) “I didn’t *mean* for the cake to explode all over the Potions room. It just happened. Really, can you blame me? *Or* my friends?” So it turns out Mcgonagall didn’t like me denying it being my fault that the exploding cake happened to explode when Professor Snape walked in. But hey, it was still really fun. Even if I was in detention with my friends. “I knew we shouldn’t have done that prank! *Especially* in the potions room!” Parker sighed, leaning his broom against the wall. We had to clean out the dungeons during a Slytherin VS. Hufflepuff Quidditch Match, which was really unfortunate for Emilia since she was on the team and couldn’t go. It was unfortunate for me, too, because I was excited to see the Slytherin team lose. “I agree with Parker. We all knew that there was a Slytherin game coming up, but we just *had* to do that prank. Right, Darius?” Emilia snapped, her grey-blue eyes intimidating. I looked at Amaryllis to see if she sided with them, but the girl was looking down at something on the floor. She crouched down to pick it up, her long, wavy light-ish brown hair falling over her shoulders. When she stood back up, her dark eyes widened instantly. “What is it?” Emilia asked, expression almost instantly softening. It wasn’t a surprise Emilia was soft on Amaryllis. The girl was sweet and patient. “Apparently someone recently escaped from Azkaban. Sirius Black, it says.” Parker raised an eyebrow. “You didn’t know that, Lis? It’s been quite popular among the Ravenclaws.” I raised my hand as if asking permission to speak, “Same with the Gryffindors. They all think he’s here to get ol’ Harry Potter. Honestly, I have to admire the guy, but does he have to be such an attention-seeker?” Emilia gave him a look. “Says you.” I looked at her in mock offense, “I’ll let you know that my pranks are a work of art.” “Like exploding a cake onto Snape? Yeah, seems pretty smart to me,” Emilia shot back sarcastically. “Alright, alright, calm down you two,” Amaryllis said, her dark eyes looking at both me and Emilia. Parker walked over next to Amaryllis, bending down a little to look at the newspaper as he was *very* tall. He adjusted his glasses. “Do you think he has something to do with those dementors that attacked everyone on the express?” “Dementors guard Azkaban. They’re probably searching for him,” Emilia said, now leaning against a wall and fiddling with her wand. Amaryllis looked at her, horrified. “But why would they search here? Do you think we aren’t safe? Do you think he’s-.” “Relax, Lis,” I said, throwing an arm around her (or at least trying to... I’m not *that* much shorter than her, right?), “If Black *is* here- which he isn’t- then he’ll be after Harry, not us. He *did* get a Grim in his cup during Trelawney’s class after all. And that stands for ‘certain doom,’ or something along those lines.” “You really believe in Trelawney’s old tactics? *Please*, she’s less sane than Filch is. And that’s saying something,” Emilia scoffed. “Well it couldn’t have just been a coincidence! Sirius Black, dementors, The Boy Who Lived, *and* a guarantee of certain death? It’s a recipe for disaster! And I want to be there to witness it.” “Good luck with that,” Emilia said, rolling her eyes. “Guys, our time for detention is almost up,” Parker said, checking his watch. “Ugh, finally,” I said, dramatically falling against the wall. “Tomorrow’s first class is Care of Magical Creatures with Emilia and the Slytherins. I hope stupid Malfoy doesn’t try anything.” Emilia glanced at me. “I wouldn’t be so sure...” ♕ || --------------------------- || ♕ That was a terrible ending but I don’t care xD Here’s Chapter 2! I really enjoyed writing Emilia’s comebacks ^-^ This is a collab between the amazing and I! :D Also I basically forgot all events of Prisoner of Azkaban, so apologize to that ;-; Hope you stick around to read more!~ ~Haunting
