She had remembered the ingredient that had made in the last potions class explode, and so, she tied it to a string. One that was connected to the door, and would be dropped into the cauldron that was on Millicent's bed. Then, within 2 minutes of them coming inside, the caldron would explode into green slime.
Cackling at her idea, she didn't hear the two come in, but quickly found shelter in her bed, her mattress covered protectively. She did need sleep after all.
And so, she blocked her ears and watched, as the two came in, getting bombarded with the slime. As the shrieks resonated, she felt at peace, learning a very important lesson.
That revenge was usually dish served warm, but it didn't matter to her if it was warm or cold, as long as those who made her suffer, get to feel the same agony.
The next day, no one came up to her, not Milliecent or Pansy, and neither looked at her either, as she joined Hannah on the Hufflepuff table, smiling to herself.
"You look happy," Hannah questioned, a smile of her own greeting Edrea's.
"Yes, I got rid of some unrelated stress yesterday, I feel much better," Edrea answered, waving at Meera to join them.
"Well that's good, oh look, it's Meera!" Hannah exclaimed, looking at her with a smile,
"Hello Hannah, and Edrea, I hope you both had a good morning?" Meera asked sitting next to Hannah.
'Yup' the two girls chorused as Meera got some cereal and milk, and just as she was to speak, Hunter rushed in, accidentally tripping onto her. Making Meera faceplant into her bowl, ruining her clothes and hair, the girl pushed him off after a few seconds of understanding just what had happened.
"Sorry, I- it was an accident!" Hunter exclaimed, as his lips quirked upwards, and he burst out laughing. Meera fumed before making a whole carton of milk tip onto Hunter. Who stopped laughing and got his own wand out. He quickly cast the disarming charm and glared at her.
"It was actually an accident, no need to be so stuck up." He told her, getting closer, and towered over her angrily. Shoving the wand into her hand, he scoffed and turned to leave, but before he could go anywhere, Professor Sinistra came up. And with a curt charm, the milk vanished, she then looked both the students up and down.
"10 points from Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw. The two of you will be joining me for detention for the next whole week, at 10 infront of the astronomy tower." She hissed, her eyes looking bloodshot. She walked off promptly, joining Snape at the darkest corner of the hall, where she slumped down to sleep.
Meera looked down, frozen, as tears welled out of her eyes, she had never been chastised by a teacher. Hunter, who was standing closer to her noticed, immediately feeling sorry and cleared his throat.
"Hey, I am sorry, I guess we should start over, especially with the detentions we will have together. I am Hunter Abbott, what's your name?" He asked softly.
"You shouldn't be sorry, I should be, um- I shouldn't have overreacted. Meera." She answered before mumbling:
"I am such a failure, no one in my family has gotten in detentions, and I have in my first few days."
Hunter frowned, before nodding. "Nice to meet you." He said and walked over to the other side of the table, sitting down with Cedric, while Meera started to walk to the door. Getting stopped by Edrea and Hannah, who looked at her with concern. The two then pulled her to the table, sitting down and started a conversation. Slowly Meera felt okay again, and the three chattered amongst themselves for a bit longer.
"Well, I have to go to transfiguration, so I will leave the two of you alone, goodbye my loves! I shall see at herbology and you at charms." Edrea exclaimed, waving dramtically at her friends, who grinned and waved back.
She had managed to get to transfiguration in time, only to find that a majority of the seats were taken, and so, she plopped down next to her brother.
"Hey Ron." She said.
"Edrea! How've you been?" Ron answered excitedly, a smile apon his face.
"Ehh, okay I guess, I am probably going to fail charms, but potions is going well." She told him.
"Bloody hell, charms is so annoying, I sit next to this girl, and she was a huge know-it-all. Like blimey! How can someone be so annoying. How'd you manage that? With potions I mean."
"Well, I got in with come Slytherins, and so Snape didn't really notice me, plus those boys knew a lot about potions."
"That makes sense, slyth-"
"Ahem, the class is starting Ronald." A snotty voice interupted, and Edrea turned to find the bushy haired girl from potions, who was sitting right next to her.
"Mind your own business bird's nest." Edrea answered for Ron, glaring at the girl.
(A/N: I know that this is a crap insult, but like they're 10-11, you can't expect too much.)
"I don't believe I was talking to you, in fact, who even are you?" Granger replied
"First off, I am his sister, and second off, I was the one he was conversing with." Edrea hissed as the professor turned human from cat.
"Ahem, quiet all! I am Professor McGonagall!" Her voice resonated through the classroom, filled with authority.
"Transfiguration is some of the most complex and dangerous magic you will learn at Hogwarts," she said.
"Anyone messing around in my class will leave and not come back. You have been warned."
Then she changed her desk into a pig and back again. Everyone was impressed, looking at her with admiration, all waiting to do something just as great. But much to the dissapointment of the student, all they got was a match that they had to turn into a needle after a variety of complicated notes.
By the end of the class, only Granger had managed to change the match to a needle. Much to the annoyance of the Weasley's, who had to listen to her lectures on how to do it because she was able to. And just as Ron had left with Potter, Edrea started to walk to her next class.
"Weasley!" A voice shouted, she turned to see Malfoy nodding at her. So she walked to him, a bit of amusement peaking out.
"Malfoy. How did the duel prank go?" She answered.
"Sadly, Filch didn't catch Potter, being the incompetent fool he is, what about you? I heard you blew up the first yeart girl's dormitries."
"Yes, well, it was contained, hitting Millicent and Pansy only, I made sure it didn't go to Greengrass' or my side."
"It sounds beautiful, now then, it seems my class has come, I shall see you at the common room."
"Yes, see you soon Malfoy." Edrea replied waving once before turning to go to herobolgy. Happily walking to the seat next to Hannah, as she thought back to her business ideas.
