three third time lucky?

Wednesday, September 8th, 1993
Hogwarts!!!

My friends are full of SHITE!

How many times did they tell me that I should give a certain someone a second chance? ABOUT A MILLION!!!

What does he go and do? GET US BOTH DETENTIONS FOR A WEEK!

SO, here's how the story goes.

we woke up normal time ( thankfully no late starts today, phew! ) went and had breakfast in the great hall, went to transfiguration and divination, cried, went to break, went to double herbology, cried again, almost got my finger bit off by a bastard plant, went to lunch, went to potions. so you know a pretty bog-standard, run of the mill, typical day for me. that is UNTIL potions.

Now, diary, I don't know how good your memory skills are but if you can remember I sit next to Fred and George Weasley in potions. so potions is never gonna be a bog-standard, run of the mill, typical lesson from now on. like merlin, these are the people that spent the first TWO WEEKS of first year convincing people they were TRIPLETS, the same people that have been trying to SHAVE OFF DUMBLEDORE'S BEARD for the past two years. im almost certain there doing drugs daily! WORST OF ALL, that's my ex. MERLIN!

BUT, they can be pretty amusing, so keep this between me and you diary, BUT I went to potions with 99% of me dreading the lesson, 1% of me interested as to if they were going to blow up snapes store cupboard or something dumb like that.

"Hello Class" Snape said, as drab as ever as we walked in

"Good day, sir!" Fred chirped with an incredibly juxtaposing energy

Snape blabbered on a bit about the draught of peace we were supposed to be making, I was half paying attention, half dreaming about the new copy of vogue mum had sent over. that was until he said "you'll be working with the person sat next to you, due to ... limited supplies"

I turned to my left. no one there

I turned to my right, frED FUCKING WEASLEY!

NOPE.

I kind of just sat there for a few minutes, Olly, George and Lee had gone as a three ( realistically they should've gone as two twos and I should've gone to work with Alicia but NOPE God hasn't got MY sanity in mind at the moment ) and Fred had some how stumbled his way over to Olivias table and was now getting WAY TOO comfortable with her ESPECIALLY for a Wednesday afternoon in the potions dungeon. like jeez louise at least save the fondling for after class ( or not at all...either works for me )

so anyways snape comes up to me and is all "Devereux why are you being an incompetent little shit and not doing anything" ( he didn't say that exactly, but for dramatic purposes lets act like he did )

and im all "well I don't want to work with Weasley, sir"

and then he starts shouting at fred "Weasley stop fondling Eyre and come back and do your work" ( sNAPE AGREES WITH ME!! FONDLING IS CLASS SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED!!)

Fred comes back over half embarrassed, half smug. While Olivia looks at me from across the class with a look on her face to say "bet you didn't like that evie"

but if im being completely honest with you diary, I couldn't a monkeys ass as to if they wants to be in a new relationship, they can do whatever, ( just don't fondle eachother in public, please )

he looks at me "we have to do the potion" he says.

"I know." I respond. "ill get the ingredients" I walks off to the store cupboard passing Carla in my way, both of us with a how-did-we-get-so-unlucky-look in our eyes ( Carlas with megan and olivia. that royally sucks for her ) and for a while we just made the potion, fred was asking questions, being nice and I was being well-rather blunt.

now diary, many people have many negative qualities about them. so do I, I have loads but I have two main ones, im incredibly stubborn and if you havent already guessed I tend to well over-react and over-dramaticise. but its okay, no ones perfect?

but the negative aspects of my personality really come into play here and looking back later, I was being a bit of a bum.

well anyways its done now but here goes!

I am avoiding all of Freds questions when he really is just trying to be nice, but I just can be nice to him, don't ask why I just can't, im giving really blunt responses and eventually fred stops and mutters "God, evie, your so difficult" under his breath, one thing leads to another I call fred a "bit of a bellend" and then he may or may not have accidentally knocked over the syrup of hellebore. WELL DONE.

"what was that?" Snape shouts

I look at Fred as though to say "fuck"

I open my mouth "uhhhh-"

Fred cuts me off.

"I accidentally knocked over the syrup of hellebore, sir" he says, somehow still smiling. and I look ah him, befuddled. Snape comes over, shouts at us for a bit as per usual, tells us to clean it up and wait behind after lessons over.

( the stinky git [ snape ] probably enjoyed it anyways. )

Great.

we do just that when the lessons over.

"do you know how much even 10ml of syrup of hellebore costs, Weasley?" snape asks

"17 sickles" I say.

Snape looks at me, no. Snape glares at me

"10 galleons." Snape spits. that's a lot of money.

"and one of you two imbeciles have wasted 10 galleons!"I kind of drift of at this point, I mean I don't want to hear snape talking about money and how we wasted 10 galleons of his, like that's so boring!!!!

Its only when he says "and that's why you two will be spending the next week in detentions." that my interest perks up again

GREAT!

Wednesday September 8th
Gryffindor Common Room
1 detention down, 6 to go

that was the worst hour of my life!!!

not only did we have to clean the hospital ward, not using magic I had to do it with FRED!

so we ( all my idea really, Fred was all up for being "fashionably late" despite having the fashion of a grandad ) agreed to meet 5 minutes before to give us enough time to walk to the hospital wing. smart move evie! because him and Olivia spent two minutes "saying goodbye"

the whole way to the hospital ward fred kept saying he was "excited for our nightly rendezvous" and asking "how much fun do you reckon we're gonna get up to"( "not a lot, especially if you're there" ) ( "really hurting my feelings eve") ( "don't call me eve!" )

for someone who's spent about 1/4 of their school life in detention im very surprised that he has no clue how to clean hospital beds. You'd've thought he'd have learnt that by now.

We stayed in silence for most of it, a few snarky glances and comments here and there. It was just so BORING. I don't want to spend my Wednesday evening doing THIS!

About half an hour in Fred fell over a bucket of water, got it all over himself. Hilarious.

I told everyone as well. ha ha

after I told every one fred was all "you said you wouldn't tell anyone"

and I was all "yeah well hitler said he wouldn't invade the Rheinland, and look what happened. a war!"

yeahhh. take that.

( of course fred, someone who doesn't know what an oven is didn't quite have the mental intelligence to understand that amazing comeback but we will ignore that minor detail )

Thursday September 9th
Gryffindor Common Room
2 detentions down, 5 to go

after the shenanigans of last time with Fred and Olivias goodbyes I decided we needed too leave ten minutes early, so were not late again.

tonight's detention?

Cleaning the potions store cupboard with Snape!

So we got there and snape barged us into the tight cupboard. it sucked. I was incredibly aware of how close I was to Fred. A situation I did not want to be in.

About five minutes in he pressed his ear to the door.

"What are you doing?"

"Shapes gone." He whispered.

"What?"

"Shut it, Eve."

"My names not Eve!" I groaned

"Potato, potato."

He then pulled a paper clip out of his back pocket.

"Wh-?"

"Don't ask."

He then started picking the lock, like they do in muggle films.

"You could just use alohmaora." What a dumbass

"Some locks just require a different type of magic." He responded, turning to me and wiggling his fingers.

I laugh and turn back to sorting the 12 love potions by due date ( sidetone why does snape have 12 love potions? dose he have a secret lover? hooch? prince? MCGONAGALL?)

then I hear the little click of the door. Fred "magic finger" seemed to have worked.

so I turn around.

"you can leave you know." he says as he opens the door to reveal...

SNAPE. stood there, arms crossed.

"What are you doing Mr Weasley?"

I burst out laughing

"leaving."

"10 points from, gyffindor." snape says "ill be here. don't try it again" and he shuts the door

I laugh so much I hit my head.

today's detention is trophy polishing. im jumping for joy at the thought of it!

Fred walks down the stairs to where im sat with Carla, Angelina and Alicia.

"you ready for our nightly outing?"

"nope."

"maybe you and Fred will become freinds" Carla pipes up.

"third time lucky eh?" fred says.

I grimace "I doubt it"
