Oh hi Professor! Harry said out loud looking behind Malfoy to see Slughorn walking down the aisle towards them. Malfoy quickly put away his wand and l...ft the two of them with a devilish little smirk. I wonder what he was grinning about? We now know that he plans to use that potion Slughorn brewed and that Snapes holding the cauldron for him. Hermione reasoned, downing the rest of her goblet of pumpkin juice in a single swig before standing up and making ready to go to her afternoon class with. She was startled by what she saw. Her appearance seemed to have aged overnight. Her beautiful tanned skin lost it glow and she had bags under her eyes. She wished those bags were big enough to pack herself away in. All she could do was turn away and step into the shower and hope that the hot water could wash away some of her tension. After the shower, she made her way to the kitchen, dreading that Jace would be in there. That thought made her steps get heavier and harder to make. For once she. She replied back omg i love them. so after that i asked would she like to meet for dinner at the resort where i do events. she said lets make it lunch because she would feel more comfortable being its the first time we were meeting. i agreed.now remember this is a true story nothing added or anything. so the next day around 9 am i receieved a phone call and it was her. she asked were we still on for lunch ? i said of course lets say around 11 am, ok it was set. now ive met a about 2 women off. . and I do understand why you panicked as well."He smiled at her, and as their eyes met and locked, the bond reasserted itself, and her green eyes glittered.The gold flickered into James's brown eyes and he let out a low husky growl."Don't make any plans for this weekend," he ordered. "I think that I should take you back to my country place."Iris nodded weakly as she once again surrendered to his authority."I guess I should go and give Laurie a hand?" Yes, do that."As her boss, James would.
