The weird Quest
"Why don't you just... I don't know, throw a snowball at him?" Brooke suggested to me, which made me a tad bit confused. I had just told her about Lorenzo's weird behavior, one minute he would be smiling at me the next mad! I couldn't understand him at all. He was the one who asked ME out, not the other way around. So why was he acting so distant one minute and the next leaning against me!
"Throw a snowball at him?" I raised an eyebrow, she couldn't be serious could she? How would that fix the whole situation?! Besides I wasn't a child-
"Are you too much of a softie?"
One tick on the clock and I was already out in the hallway, making my way towards Lorenzo. Just because I was in Hufflepuff doesn't mean I was a damn softie! Fuck off with that, I am gonna break his fucking nose with this snowball. I wanted to watch him bleed to prove to Brooke that I wasn't a damn softie.
There his stupid green scarf was, with his group of friends. In the courtyard, probably talking about something idiotic. I wouldn’t be surprised if they did. I could feel my smirk form as I made a snowball, Blaise noticed me but didn’t move or do anything, he probably didn’t care. I yelled out a “Hey” As I threw the snowball, it landed right in his face which made me laugh out loud so much, Merlin he was gullible.
"What was that for?!" He said with a chuckle.
I watched him crouched down and form a snowball with his hands, which made me laugh. He was the weirdest guy ever. As he threw it I tried to avoid the snow, yet failed and moved so it hit my shoulder. I looked back up at him and his eyes met mine for a split second, something in me changed a bit. But I quickly shook it off as nothing, it was nothing. Yeah!
I ran as fast as I could, not wanting to look back. I had no clue why he was smiling or smirking… Did Brooke’s advice really help me? No idea.
…
I read the letter yet again, it was from Brooke. She had dared me to sneak out past curfew and steal a helmet from the history class. Apparently because it would help me be more sneaky which guys like or something, Brooke was weird like that. Always finding some weird excuse for weird dares. In my mind I had already decided not to do it, it was so stupid why on earth would that help me? But my one weakness was there… At the bottom of the letter, she was blackmailing me!
Okay maybe not completely blackmailing me but she wrote “If you don’t do it I will tell the teacher you got help from me to do the math test.” That was so uncalled for! Scratch the thing with not blackmailing me, she was. And I had no clue why! This was ridiculous, I would not steal. Merlin, why would I even steal a damn helmet…
….
Okay so I might have taken her damn quest or challenge. Why? Since my grade would go down if I didn’t and to be honest being an average student… I didn’t wanna go down to be under average. My parents would be furious! Outraged or worse… Disappointed. So there I was, hiding in a bush while waiting for that damn guy to move with his stupid cat thing, yeah I didn’t remember his name so what? It was not like I would talk to the guy, he’s old, scary and probably would get me in trouble! Thankfully he heard something on the next floor and went away, I quickly sneaked my way from the courtyard, to inside the hall and into the classroom. Looking around for that damn helmet, Brooke was never gonna hear the end of my complaining, I swear to it. I then found the helmet on top of the highest shelf in there, I started to crawl up it, since I hadn’t taken my wand with me, I forgot it. But that didn’t matter as much, I got it with no problem and jumped down.
“Well shit-” Of course me jumping down was bad, since the whole room egoed the sound. I ran as quickly I could with the helmet on my head, before moving into the same bush again.
Quickly the old man returned and looked around for any signs of people, students or animals. But thankfully didn’t find me! It was like God held my side. As I made my way back to the Hufflepuff common room, I could feel eyes staring me down from somewhere but I didn’t know where or why. Maybe I was just paranoid.
