Wisteria Elara Nightwing - Chapter 4

Instructions

First lesson of the day was Transfiguration, which they had with the Ravenclaws. A platinum blonde girl walked up to them. Wisteria recognized her from the Sorting. "Hi!" she said. "I'm Carina Malfoy!" "Woah! It's another Malfoy!" said Wisteria, laughing. "Yeah, she's my sister" said Emily "Why are 3 siblings in different houses?" "Because those three sibling are different" said Carina "By the way, are you related to that girl over there?" "What girl?" said Wisteria "Hermione?" Wisteria looked at Hermione. "That's like the 3rd time someone's said that to me. Pleaseee, I do not look like her!" Emily laughed "You actually do!" Wisteria glared at her and Emily said "Sorry!" ___________________________________________ Later, it was Potions, which they had with the Slytherins. Professor Snape wasn't very nice, but he was decent to Wisteria because she was quite good at Potions, having read all Hydrangea's books. Emily wasn't so lucky though, and according to Snape, she "wasn't living up to the Malfoy name". Wisteria was surprised. She thought Charlotte would have suffered, because she was a Potter and looks he was giving Harry! But no, Charlotte got the same treatment as Wisteria, if not a bit better as she was in Slytherin. Snape disliked poor Emily so much, even though he positively fawned over Draco! "He's so full of himself," whispered Emily, glaring at Draco as he strutted around the classroom. "Well, you know what they say about big egos," Wisteria replied with a smile. "I'd rather not," Emily muttered. "Alright, class," said Snape, "let's see how you all handled this cure to boils today. I don't expect very satisfactory results seeing what kind of dunces we have in this class." He swept smug looks at Emily and Harry. Rolling her eyes, Wisteria placed her flask on his desk. Snape merely gave it a "Satisfactory" "Miss Malfoy!" He shouted and Emily's face paled as she hurriedly placed her flask on the desk. "What is this supposed to be?" "A cure for boils?" Emily squeaked. "Well, at least she tried," Wisteria muttered under her breath. Emily's cheeks flushed as Snape snatched her flask away and sniffed it. "Hmm, smells promising," he said sarcastically. "Detention 6:00 in my office. You too Mr Potter, for forgetting that fame isn't everything." "But I didn't do anything!" said Harry "Neither did I!" Emily protested weakly. "Save it for your father, Miss Malfoy," Snape sneered. "And maybe you'll learn something from your brother" As the class filed out, Wisteria turned to Emily and Charlotte, a frown on her face. "I can't believe he said that about you, Em. You did try, and you're not that bad at Potions. It's not your fault you have a Malfoy name," she said, squeezing her friend's shoulder reassuringly. "And the fact that Draco is an irritating little toerag" said Emily "Hey! He's not a toerag! He's kinda nice!" said Charlotte indignantly "Oooh you like him!" chorused Wisteria and Emily "Uhh maybe.." said Charlotte, going red. "He's just so...so... " she searched for the right word. "Irritating?" Emily offered. "Exasperating?" Wisteria offered too. "No, that's not it..." Charlotte paused, thinking. "...He's just so...intriguing. And I think he has a really cute smile." Wisteria gaped at her friend. "Really? You think Draco is cute?" she asked incredulously. "Well, I wouldn't say cute," Charlotte hedged, "but he's nice to me even though I'm Harry's adopted sister.." "Well then, he hates me because I'm his sister, he hates Wistie because she's erm...actually he doesn't hate her, he just doesn't understand why she's my friend, and he's nice to you because he likes you back!" said Emily "Pfffft...Draco doesn't like me back..." "Moving on." said Wisteria. "There's Quidditch tryouts today! Are you going for it?" she asked Emily hopefully. "Can't. Detention." Emily replied, her tone bitter. "It's so unfair. Snape hates me. And now I have detention with him." "Oh...I mean there's an extra tryout next week!" "Hey, do you think Draco really likes me?" said Charlotte suddenly. "Do I hear my name?" (Continued below)
