章 142: Not Butterflies but Dragons pt. 2
Ok so I've posted the entire chapter yesterday but I don't why it cut out half. I tried to update it, delete it then post it again but nothing is working. So here's the other half and the actual end of the book.
_________________________________________________
"You've picked the losing side, Potter! I warned you! I told you you ought to choose your company more carefully, remember? When we met on the train, first day at Hogwarts? I told you not to hang around with riffraff like this!" He jerked his head at Ron and Hermione. "Too late now, Potter! They'll be the first to go, now the Dark Lord's back! Mudbloods and Muggle-lovers first!"
Chris stood up before anyone can do something. Malfoy retreated few steps immediately, looking at her, a little frightened. But Chris's wand was still inside her robes. She didn't take it out.
"Not brave much, are you Malfoy?" Chris smirked. "I wonder, how you're getting scared when I didn't even took out my wand, and then you brag about a more dangerous person than me. Don't you realize what're you doing?"
Draco opened his mouth angrily.
"I feel bad for you, Malfoy." Chris continued. "I mean at least we know that we're in danger, we know we've to fight the most dark wizard of all time but you don't even know that you're in much more deeper in this hole than us, Malfoy."
"What do you mean?" He said.
"Voldemort is merciless, Draco. Ask your father what'll happen if he failed to do any task for Him? What'll happen if he upset Him or angered Him?" Chris said seriously. "Why do you think your father never tried to reach Voldemort? Never tried to help him come back? He tortured your father in front of us Malfoy. He doesn't care about his followers. He only care about power and victory."
Draco Malfoy was staring at her speechless. Clearly he haven't thought this things like the way Chris explained.
"And if you don't trust me then ask your father about this and observe his expression. You'll know the rest." Chris said and shut the compartment door on his face.
"You know I never thought about this." Harry said after Chris sat down.
"I know because you're dumb." Chris said rolling her eyes.
"C'mon." Colin laughed. "It was better than jinxing him. Have you seen his face?"
"He was speechless." Luna giggled.
The compartment door opened again. A face poked inside.
"Er.... Ginny can I talk to you for a moment?" Michael Corner asked.
"Oh.. sure..." Ginny went pink and gave a look to Chris, Chris smiled and she left.
"What was that?" Ron asked.
"You mean who was that?" Hermione corrected.
"Yeah. Same. What was he doing here?" He ignored Hermione and looked at Chris.
"What? He came to talk to Ginny." Chris said casually. "Can't they? I mean they're dating so..."
"They WHAT?" said Ron, outraged, his ears now resembling curls of raw beef. "What do you mean?"
"The thing you heard Ron." Chris said rolling her eyes again. "They're dating after the Yule Ball. They like each other... do I need to explain it to you in other language?"
"But," said Ron. "I thought Ginny fancied Harry!"
"C'mon Ron. She did that when she was ten. Maybe now she didn't like him. What's the big deal?" Hermione snapped. She then looked at Harry and added, "Not that I think you're not good enough Harry."
"I don't like him," said Ron at once. "Not Harry but that... that boy. What's his name again?"
"Michael Corner." Chris said. "And stop being an drama queen Ron. Just because she's you sister.. it doesn't mean she've to marry your best friend."
Colin and Luna were suppressing their laughs for sometime. But at this point they both ran out of the compartment saying they'll check on Dennis. Hermione silently giggled. Harry went red and Ron made a "hmphh" face.
Chris pulled out a new copy of Quibbler and started reading it.
After sometime lunch trolley arrived. Chris went out to buy some Chocolate frogs. She was having a crave for chocolate so she brought many chocolate frogs and was balancing then in her arms.
"So much chocolate?" Jason said coming towards the trolley.
"Anything from the trolley dear?" The trolley witch asked him.
"No thanks." He said to her and the trolley witch moved to next compartment.
"Want some?" Chris asked.
"No. I don't have sweet tooth." He said but took some Chocolate frogs. "But you need help holding them."
"Good point." She smiled. "Where are you sitting?"
"Come, I'll show you." He said.
They started walking, crossing the compartments. Chris started to eat the Chocolate frogs while Jason hold the rest.
"Hey look I got Dumbledore." Chris hold up the second one.
"Here." Jason opened the compartments and Chris saw Theodore, Daphne, Astoria and another boy sitting there.
"Umm... hey... Chocolate frogs?" Chris asked awkwardly seeing Astoria's cold face.
"No thanks." Daphne replied.
"Are you going to eat those all alone?" Theodore asked.
"Er... yes if no one else does." Chris replied.
"You're going to get a stomachache." Astoria said.
"Nah.. I've experience... I can eat lots of chocolate." Chris replied confidently.
No one said something else, Theodore just chuckled.
"I should go. Bye." Chris hurriedly turned around and walked away.
"Hey. Hey." Jason followed holding her Chocolate frogs. "Your chocolate frogs."
Chris stopped and turned around and Jason almost ran into her.
"Sorry. I really didn't think it'll be that weird." Jason said. "I mean Astoria was cool with you..."
"Before I stole the boy she fancied." Chris snapped.
"I mean she just liked me a little... that's not..."
"Oh Jason. Why're you boys so clueless about these things." Chris said taking the Chocolate frogs from him. "I don't think she'll talk nicely to me again."
"Oh... she'll as soon as she likes someone else."
Chris rolled her eyes. Jason suddenly came closer and kissed her on the lips. The Chocolate frogs fell from her hand in surprise. Jason hurriedly get down and pick them up and gave back them to Chris. Chris was staring at Jason.
"We'll see each other after months." He said. "Take care and try to stay out of troubles."
He left and Chris stood there for few minutes. She felt blood rushing to her cheeks.
It was just a peak on the lips, just for two or three seconds but Chris felt something inside her stomach as she walked back to her compartment.
She entered the compartment and saw Luna and Colin was back. Chris didn't hear what're they talking about. She just sat near the window and looked out. They were very close to the King's Cross.
Why they talk about butterflies in the stomach? In reality, she felt there were dragons flying inside her stomach. Jason just kissed her. The next year is going to be exciting.
