Continue Story (I copy and paste from internet) - Chapter 10 - 'LOVE SHOULD COME WITH A WARNING'
CHAPTER 10
When the entered the Great Hall Ron and Harry had beaten them there. "So the trick is with that charm is that you practice with an empty bag, I didn’t once and broke an inkwell,” she said with a small smile. "Morning boys" Cassandra said with a smile. "Morning Cassandra, Hermione" Harry said smiling at them. Ron looked up from his plate "-orning" he said with his mouth half full of toast. "Ronald!" Hermione said looking at him. Cassandra simply smiled. Today she had a free morning followed by Charms then Transfiguration after lunch. "So Harry, is everything ok this morning?" Cassandra asked as she took a slice of toast from the rack in front of her. "Oh, erm yeah, sort of" he replied with a smile. "That’s good, a frown doesn’t suit you,” she said with a small smile as she took a bite of toast. Ron coughed on his mouthful of eggs. Hermione patted his back, which caused him to go red. He gave Hermione a small smile. "Thanks" he said quietly and looked over at Cassandra who raised one of her eyebrows slightly for a second then winked at him.
The lessons went by quicker than yesterday’s potion lesson. Before the gang knew it, it was lunch. As they made their way to the Great Hall Draco stopped them by standing in front of Cassandra. "I'm glad to see that Pansy's foolish actions haven’t had a lasting effect on you" he said looking at her. "It takes more than her to leave a lasting effect" she replied. Harry stood a little closer to Cassandra. "I hope her actions haven’t made you think any less of me" he replied with a slight smirk. "Of course not now if you'll excuse me" she replied walking away with Harry, Hermione and Ron. "Typical Malfoy only thinking about himself" Harry muttered as they walked away. Pansy ran over to Draco "Drakie! There you are, you've been avoiding me all day" she said smiling as sweetly as she could. Draco was about to reply with an angry remark but remembered Cassandra's plan. "I can’t talk now, meet me here after curfew" he said and walked away.
After supper Cassandra made her way down to a small hut located on the school grounds. She knocked on the hut door and waited for a reply, if she had to act all sweet and kind she might as well apologise for her absence yesterday. After waiting a moment there was still no reply, she looked around and heard a rustling in the pumpkin patch next to the hut. She walked quietly over to where the noise had come from, peaking her head over a large pumpkin she noticed a Niffler. She smiled at it; quickly she looked around for a berry. There was a small berry plant at the edge of the pumpkin patch. She picked a blackberry and went back over to the Niffler. Kneeling in front of it she threw the berry in front of her, the Niffler sniffed curiously at the berry and ate it. Cassandra smiled at it then carefully picked it up, supporting its body with one arm whilst holding it close. "Cute little thing aren’t you" she whispered as she stood up. "There you are!" Cassandra turned around to see Hagrid looking at the Niffler. "I caught him sniffing around your pumpkins" she said with a smile and handed the Niffler to Hagrid. "Thank you, you are?" he asked looking at her. "Oh I’m Cassandra Delphine, I was supposed to be in your class yesterday but got hit with a jinx" she said with a small smile. "That’s alright, glad your alright now" he replied holding the Niffler. "I should be off, see you next lesson professor" she said and made her way to the castle.
By the time she reached the castle it was dark. Once in the common she looked around, it seemed to be less cheerful. She noticed Harry in front of the fire. "Harry what’s wrong?" she asked walking over. "Its Ron, he got attacked..." "Attacked? Why? Who?" she asked looking worried. "Parkinson started an argument with him because she was out after hours and its Gryffindors night to patrol, she wouldn’t go and started duelling, he lost...now he is in the hospital wing" he said looking at the floor. Cassandra wrapped an arm round him. "Does Ginny know?" she asked. Harry nodded "She’s in her dorm with Hermione, last time I saw her she was crying" Cassandra had to contain her happiness that the plan had worked; pansy had fallen for the fake meeting. "Come here" she said quietly to Harry who stopped hiding his head in his hands and instead held Cassandra. "It'll be ok Harry,” she whispered as they held each other.
