// THIS IS AN OLD CHAPTER. THE NEW CHAPTERS ARE IN VOLUME 2. YOU CAN READ THESE CHAPTERS IF YOU WANT SOME INSIGHT ON WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN LATER BUT SOME EVENTS CAN BE DIFFERENT BETWEEN THE OLD AND NEW CHAPTERS.
Since Colin got rejected by Rose, the relationship between Slytherin and Gryffindor has deteriorated sharply, mainly because of the influence of Ron and Harry who pushed most of the boys in first, second and third years as well as some fourth year in the clash. Edward actually ended up in the infirmary after suffering a paralysis spell cast on his back.
McGonagall and Snape are both busy trying to keep order in the young boys in both houses. Well rather McGonagall than Snape who simply told us that whoever was caught ambushing a Gryffindor student would be punished accordingly. Translation: try not to get caught and if you get caught, there will be no real sanction.
I am going to the aviary to join Rose; she gave me a date away from the hustle and bustle that currently reigns at the castle to spend some time together.
As I start to climb the stairs to the tower, I see Harry opening the tower door and coming towards me.
"We need to talk."
"Sure, but most civilized people start with a hello."
"Still playing the smart guy. In the meantime, I want you to break up with my sister."
"And why should I give a fuck about what you want Potter?"
"If you know what's best for you, you'll do what I tell you."
"Yeah, that's it." I pass him before I turn around. "Do your worst, let's laugh a bit."
I enter the aviary; I do not hear a single noise except some cries of owls which seem strangely agitated. It's weird, it's not Rose's habit to hide and surprise me. I take my wand out of its holster; the situation is really weird especially now that the Gryffindors are hunting Slytherins.
"Rose are you there? It's me." No answer.
I climb the stairs to the second floor, this time I'm sure there's something wrong. I walk to the center of the room when two boys who had been hiding behind bags of owl food leave their hiding place to cast a paralysis spell on me. I expected it and I raise a shield that protects me from the spell. I run towards the closest and put my fist in the middle of his face, I feel the cartilage of his nose breaking under the force of the blow and a second later he falls to the ground, blood filled his face and shirt. I turn to his friend still surprised by everything that has happened in less than a second.
"You have less than five seconds to tell me where Rose is. Try to open your mouth to tell me something other than what I'm expecting, and you join your buddy in the realm of bloody mouths, I'll screw you so badly that they will give you the crown. "
The poor moron raises his wand at me. "Stupefy!" I raise a shield on which the spell comes crashing down. In a second, I'm on him with my fist crushing his stomach.
"Wrong answer" The poor guy is on all fours spreading his breakfast on the floor of the aviary. "Lucky for you, I'm feeling generous now, so I'll give you a second chance to not end up as messed up as your buddy."
"No, no more hit, Ron and Colin took her to the boathouse. They want to convince her to drop you and go out with a Gryffindor."
"WHAT? !!"
"It's true, I swear, we've been waiting for you for something like fifteen minutes."
I crash my fists in the face of this asshole before I run out of the aviary, even at full speed, it takes me a good five minutes to get to the boathouse.
A single Gryffindor stands guard outside the boathouse door, he doesn't understand what happens to him when I throw my foot in his ribs, sending him flying two meters down in the lake.
The noise must have alerted Ron who is opening the door, wand in hand.
"Hello Ron" I smash the door in his face. "Goodbye Ron".
When I walk into the boathouse, I can see Rose kissing Colin, just behind her is a chair with ropes and a half-empty box of chocolates. The smell pervading the room leaves no doubt, Amortentia.
I make Rose fall asleep and she falls to the ground without Colin having the presence of mind to hold her back, what a lover. I grab him by the neck and slam him against a wall, he tries to grab his wand, but I grab it before him and smash it in two.
"What the fuck did you do to her!"
"Nothing, we just made her see the truth. She doesn't love you, she's with me now!"
I grab his arm and break his bone in two, he screams in pain when he sees the bone coming out of his arm.
"Wrong answer. I want the truth now; the room stinks of amortentia. How much did you give her? "
"We put a full potion for each chocolate!" Colin's eyes are full of tears.
"Are you out of your mind! Do you want to kill her ?!" I leave that little whore there and take Rose in my arms to bring her to the infirmary while not forgetting to take the rest of the chocolates with me. "
All the students I meet along the way watch me go by in disbelief. I run into McGonagall trying to stop me to find out what's going on, but she runs after me when I don't even bother to answer her.
I finally arrive at the infirmary, kicking the door open, my hands too busy to be able to turn the handle. Madam Pomfrey is slightly shocked by my entrance but recovers quickly when she sees Rose in my arms.
"Quickly lay her in that bed and tell me what happened."
"Some students in Gryffindor gave him Amortentia, as I understand it, more or less, four or five vials." Madam Pomfrey looks at me in shock as she understands the gravity of the situation.
McGonagall chooses this moment to arrive, but neither I nor Madam Pomfrey pays her any attention. I will look in the cupboards for all the bottles that I am ordered to fetch. Meanwhile Rose called Colin's name in her fever, she caressed her whole body with her arms and moaned with pleasure with every movement she made in her delirium.
I swear I'm going to kill that shit bag, him and everyone who helped him out.
When Rose's situation finally stabilized, McGonagall and Madam Pomfrey pulled me aside.
"Sean what exactly happened."
"I had received a note from Rose who wanted us to see each other in the aviary. When I got there, two Gryffindors attacked me wand in hand. After beating the shit out of them, I rushed to the boathouse because they had forced Rose to follow them. But it was too late, they forced her to eat chocolates stuffed with amortentia and I found her kissing Colin Creevey. " Tears of rage run down my cheeks because of my helplessness in the face of the situation.
McGonagall paled at every detail of my story and hastens to contact Dumbledore to have him come urgently, she also sends messages to the prefects to go pick up the injured students.
When Dumbledore arrives, I tell him the whole story again. He walks me into his office before contacting Filch.
"Argus, I want Mr. Potter in my office immediately, send all the ghosts to find him if necessary." Dumbledore puts down his magiphone and hands me a jar of candy. "A lemon sherbet maybe?" I nod at him, refusing the candy politely, and we wait patiently for Harry to arrive.
He arrives after about fifteen minutes, being drag with an iron grip by Filch in Dumbledore's office.
"I found him laughing at his misdeed with some of his comrades." Harry gives us an angry look. "Thanks Argus. Harry come and sit down please. We need to have a discussion." Dumbledore speaks calmly but he looks like he took ten years in a matter of minutes.
"Harry what you have done is of unprecedented gravity, few incidents in my long career as Principal of this school and before that as a teacher, can compare with what you just did. Just one of the chocolates your sister ate can have very serious consequences for her, not to mention the consequences the other five might have had. Death, Harry. " Potter pales visibly.
"What, but I told them to only give her one!"
"So, you admit having participated in all this."
"That's not what I said!"
"In that case, tell me what happened." Potterhas is back against a wall and he knows it. He points to me.
"He was the one who gave her a potion first, otherwise my sister would never have dated a boy like him"
"Like him what Potter? Dare to say it. You already did, why not do it again in front of the Headmaster?" Potter looks at me in silence.
"Well, this is a serious very serious accusation Harry, do you have any proof of what you are saying?"
Potter looks down, unable to meet the Headmaster's gaze.
"I see, in this case Harry, I have to intervene. You are locked up in the Gryffindor dormitory until the situation is fully cleared up. I will also bring your parents over to let them know the situation and found the best thing to do with you. "
That's all? I hope the situation will evolve into something more serious than this else I will take it in hand myself.
