The Fates conspired against her it seemed.
It had been nearly a lapse of two weeks since she was able to see Cern in private. In class and at meals wasn't bad, but it always left her thinking of their passionate moment in the Common Room that nearly ended in disaster. The cold was approaching quickly, and it was dark early now. It made her sad, but she'd noticed that it affected Cern more than it did her. It was killing her to see him depressed, and part of it wondered if it was because of her. She didn't want it to be so!
With a handful of herbs on the table for Madame Pomfrey in the library, she huffed at the candles floating about the dark from the pages of an Advanced herbology book. What time was it anyway? Did this place ever hear of clocks? She stood up and wandered back into the shelves, only to walk straight into one of the Slytherin girls.
'So, Miss Overachiever, studying late again are you?'
"What do you mean late?"
The girl laughed, drawing her wand. 'Late enough that no one would hear your pretty face scream from here.'
Her wand was on the table and as she turned to get it, she felt the pang of the spell as the words came out. 'Flippendo!'
Before she could catch the edge of her wand, her body soared across the library and smashed into the bookcase. With a soft groan she only got back up and uttered, "Accio Wand." She'd fight back rather than get hurt further by this person. The hilt of her wand hit her hand and before she could think of a jinx to throw back, the girl started in on her.
'You know, I could just... do this. Petrifus totalis!'
The force of the full body bind hit her and she could do nothing as she fell back. The girl only laughed. 'Boy, oh boy, you're a push over. Probably a filthy mudblood. I hear you're friends with mudbloods, how would you like to see those pretty mudbloods now?'
She hated that word, but couldn't do anything now. Where was everyone?
Vacant eyes gazed up at the ceiling as she heard a whisper. 'We should take her to the Headmistress.' Another Slytherin popped out of the books. 'Out after eleven, that's grounds for detention.' They were the Head Boy and Girl. BOLLOCKS!
Eleven?! BOLLOCKS!!!!
The other Slytherin released the bind and she instantly shot out the disarming spell, jumped up, and ran out of the library. She didn't bother grabbing the books, she'd get them later. She sprinted down the stairs and darted into a hallway, ducking into a doorway and waiting for them to pass.
Blast...she had to get out of here. She still had those herbs clutched in her hand and realized that the hospital wing was way on the other end of the Castle. So, being noble, she went up the stairs and directly to the wing, but Madame Pomfrey was out. She left the herbs on her desk and left. Outside the door, she met Filtch.
'Out after hours, Miss Noir?'
Oh...Bollocks...
