text: Thank you to all of you who commented and wrote to me about my last share. Here's more on the same theme, well worth knowing about. Several years ago I heard an American nun being interviewed on radio. She, Sister Diana Ortiz, had been kidnapped and tortured while working in Guatemala. She was freed and returned to the U.S. where she set out to have her experience recognized by Congress. Sister Diana also started an organization to support international victims of torture. All the while she was experiencing psychological challenges unimaginable to those of us who have never been tortured. There are more details on a website I began years ago http://athousandarms.com/index.html If you have the interest you might follow the link to the report of the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights. Sister Diana allowed a correspondence with me for a short time and later permitted me to dedicate the site to her. There are other things on the site of interest to us all but some are now out of date. Perhaps now you have inspired me to bring it up to date and expand it further.It has been hard for me for a time to bear the pain that is presented to me through Care2 and my friends here so I ran away inside. However, I feel the fierce but gentle Peace Warrior rising again. The horrors we face won't triumph.Love you all, Hugh

Chapter 7 : Scattered
| Rating: Mature | Chapter Reviews: 44 |
Background: Font color:
Three days passed after what had come to be known as The Ice Rink Episode, and I gradually grew accustomed to the flow of things at Hogwarts, the endless blur of homework and classes and studying that was life at this school.
It had quickly become apparent that the slave-drivers-oops-I-mean-professors were not showing any mercy this year. Despite it being just the beginning of September, everyone was already starting to prepare for OWLs.
And while academics were hard, Prefect rounds were harder. With Ryan, I often found myself stumbling over my words and my feet, too mired in my own pitiful stew of anxieties to behave like a normal person for even a second. With Potter, on the other hand, every patrol meant hours of endless bickering and arguing. We never got anything done. Working together was impossible.
Meanwhile, Aidan was still unsuccessfully trying to woo Dominique employing every trick, line and moping apology in the book but to no avail. My best friend was determined to hate his guts, maintaining that she refused to have herself strung along anymore by my brother's flighty whims.
But still, Aidan would not be deterred. Ever the Gryffindor, he refused to give up, and each day seemed to bring with it some new inventive way of hitting on Dom. On Tuesday, Aidan gave her a bouquet of flowers in each of her classes. On Wednesday, he had the house-elves bake a cake that was personally delivered to her during dinner. On Thursday, it was skywriting by the Black Lake, the words You are my one and only, Dominique Florence Weasley! strewn across the sky in puffy cursive. Needless to say, Dom did not appreciate the extravagant display or the public revelation of her middle name, which, it has to be said, was pretty understandable. Florence? Gross.
On Friday morning, Dominique and I trudged down to the Great Hall for breakfast, already dreading whatever disastrous plan Aidans sick and twisted mind had devised today. The Hall that morning was quiet, everyone's exuberant back-to-school spirit thoroughly exhausted by this week's slew of academics and latest obligations. Save for the clatter of silverware and rustle of an occasional Daily Prophet, the Hall was eerily devoid of noise.
After the War, when the administration seemed to realize that 'institutionalized segregation' perhaps wasn't the best idea for a school full of impressionable young children, the House system organizing the Great Hall's tables was banished. No longer were we seated by Houses. Instead, Hufflepuffs were free to hang with Slytherins, Ravenclaws with Gryffindors. With the exception of big traditional ceremonies, everyone had free-range over where to sit. It was all one big jolly family, we were so thrilled, let's all join hands and sing kumbaya, etc. etc.
Usually, Dom and I ate our breakfasts with the Tweedle Trio at our regular table," the second one from the Hall's entrance. Today was no different. The guys were already at their seats, looking suitably sleep-deprived for the early hour as they tiredly shoveled food from their plates to their mouths. Only Aidan, who was sitting primly with his back rod-straight and eyes narrowed ever so slightly, seemed mildly alert. No doubt he was silently brooding over some evil scheme of his.
Dom and I slowly trudged our way to the table, where I plopped down next to Fred and immediately began scooping some scrambled eggs and bacon onto my plate. Dom, shooting a wary glance at Aidan, plunked down on a seat by Potter.
No one said a word. Potters eyes were drooping shut. Freds elbow was in his cereal.
We ate in silence, Aidan and Dominique occasionally sneaking glances at one another, everyone too tired to bother with pesky conversation. For a moment one, beautiful, glorious moment I almost began to think that Aidan didnt have anything planned today, that he was willing to spend a day without one single proclamation of undying love for Dom.
So far, there had been a conspicuous lack of flowers, sweet greetings, and offers to carry Dom's books or walk her to class. All this led me to believe that maybe, possibly, Aidan was content with just sitting pretty and letting the morning pass without incident.
Attention! I have an announcement to make!
...Or not.
I looked up from my rubbery and rather unsatisfying pile eggs to see Aidan, standing up on his bench, his shoes making two heavy clunks as they landed on the wood. A goblet and fork were in my brother's hand, and he was rapping the piece of silverware against the glass to create a tinkling noise that echoed throughout the hushed Great Hall. He looked completely at ease, as if he were delivering a speech at a wedding or graduation ceremony or some time not as completely inappropriate s this one.
Everyone in the large atrium went still, students sleepily glancing up at the spectacle before them and beginning to frown in mass confusion. The Great Hall seemed to turn even quieter as all eyes swiveled to my idiotic buffoon of a brother, standing on that table and peering regally over us.
Sweet Godric, Freddy whispered in awe from where he sat next to me. What is that boy doing?
I didnt answer, instead just staring up at Aidan with a mixture of horror and fascination on my face. Potter's eyes flicked slowly open as he momentarily deemed reality more interesting than sleep, his gaze taking in my brother and his surroundings with vague confusion.
Sorry for disturbing your breakfast, everyone. My name is Aidan Bennett, I'm a fifth-year here at Hogwarts," my brother began, speaking as if his name wasn't already notorious among the majority of the students, as if he wasn't one of the biggest mischief-makers at this school and the reason for half the grey hairs on McGonagall's head. "Anyway, I'd just like to have your attention for a short moment, as I want perform this rap I recently wrote for the public.
I frowned. Had I just heard correctly? Aidan wanted to... rap?
Dominiques face, meanwhile, had turned an unflattering shade of purple, her eyes widening into larger and larger circles of panic as she seemed to realize what was about to unfold.
Aidan, taking no notice of his ex-girlfriend's silent conniptions before him, prattled on with his introductory speech. The rap took a long time to write, and it was inspired by someone very close to me. I'd like to deliver it here, now, so that this same person knows just how much I miss and love them." He paused gravely, clearing his throat. "This one goes out to you, Dominique "
Dont say it, dont say it, dont say it, Dom was muttering fiercely, eyes closed and fists clenched.
Florence Weasley.
With a groan of defeat, Dom slammed her head onto the table, making all the silverware around us jump and rattle. This went either ignored or unnoticed by Aidan, who turned jovially to the table behind him and pointed to a small Hufflepuff sitting a few feet away.
"Give me a beat, Tim! Aidan said happily.
Tim-the-Hufflepuff began to cup his hands over his mouth and make a series of undistinguishable noises that I guess was supposed to pass as beats. As the rest of the Great Hall stared on in astonishment, Aidan took out a piece of parchment from his pocket, cleared his throat... And then the rap/Unbearable Ear Torture began.
Dominique Weasley,
I love you very easily
This rap rings true
Evry word from me to you
You have really pretty hair
And a very scary glare
But its still sort of nice-y
Even though its quite icy.
My brother had gone insane. First the gerbil, then the Ice Rink, and now he'd convinced himself he was some sort of bonafide MC. Which, judging by the terrible rhyming and grammar I was listening to right now, he most definitely was not.
I miss you like teeth miss braces
and a shoe misses laces
I miss you like rock misses roll
and a stripper misses her pole.
Your eyes are green glass
and you have a nice... smile
Youre an amazing lass
For you Ill walk a mile.
This is the end of this rap,
So now all you peeps should clap.
Cause it took me time
To come up with these rhymes.
With that, everyone in the Hall burst into whooping cheers and thunderous clapping as students loudly showed their appreciation for the new excitement that had just enlivened their mornings. Potter stood up, two fingers in his mouth as he wolf-whistled jubilantly in loud praise. Fred was wiping away mock tears of pride. Dom, meanwhile, looked like she had just lapsed into cardiac arrest.
Aidan looked on grandly, pointing a finger at my unfortunate best friend and giving a cheeky wink.
Word to your mother,
Im a Freaky Funk Brother
After that grand finale, the Great Hall was positively ringing with applause. The sound was tumultuous, deafening, almost. The professors at the Staff Table looked mildly on, as if they didnt quite believe what had just happened. Aidan bowed several times, thanking his cheering admirers politely, and then sank back down to his seat with an innocent expression smoothed across his face.
Dom had not said anything this whole while, still gaping in shock as she stared uncomprehendingly at my brother and his blasé attitude. She opened her mouth, but then shook her head and closed it. She then opened it again. And closed it. Opened it. Closed it. Opened. Closed.
This went on for a while.
Potter was boisterously clapping Aidan on the back in congratulations while Fred was issuing declarations of admiration for his performance ("Amazing! Groundbreaking! Art is alive!"). I glanced nervously at Dom, my hand creeping up to slowly cover the very pointy, very sharp fork by her cereal bowl. Gauging her shell-shocked expression, I slowly withdrew the utensil, knowing it was probably best to keep Dom away from all sharp objects right now.
Better safe than sorry. Just saying.
So, Aidan finally said, turning away from all the jubilation and cheering to level Dom with an eager look. What did you think, Dom? he asked brightly, if he were seeking her opinion on what tie he should wear to a party.
Face ashen, Dom did not reply... Just simply stayed frozen to her seat, staring at Aidan like he was the craziest person she knew (which said a lot, given who her family consisted of). No one spoke for a split-second, the ongoing applause reverberating in our ears, and then, all of a sudden a strange look struggling to overcome her features Dom stood up abruptly, turned on her heel, and ran out of the room.
The cheering and clapping in the Great Hall still rang on despite McGonagall's shrill efforts to quell it from the Staff Table. No one seemed to have realized that the one person who the rap had been actually meant for had just fled the room.
Fred, Potter, Aidan and I all exchanged alarmed glances at Dom's sudden departure, the applause ringing around us a contrast to our concern.
"We should " I shouted over the noise.
follow her," Potter finished, face blank with surprise.
We all quickly stood up and marched off, leaving behind the euphoria of the Great Hall in search for one Very Distressed Dominique.
As we walked past all the hero's congratulations and pats on the back, I briefly wondered if it was wise to have Aidan with us right now, given he had been the cause of this entire ordeal in the first place. But rounding the corner out of the Hall, I didn't have the heart to tell him to leave. Even if I had, he probably wouldn't have listened to me anyways.
We found Dom very quickly, seeing as she hadn't gotten far. She was standing or rather, leaning in the corridor just outside the Hall, her entire body slumped against the wall as she hyperventilated.
For a standstill moment, the four of us just stared at her stupidly while Dom struggled in her efforts to suck all the oxygen out of the room, hands flapping frantically in the air. And then Potter, quickly coming to his senses, conjured up a paper bag and gingerly handed it to her.
Nobody spoke as, in various stages of alarm, we watched Dom inhale and exhale furiously, the paper bag convulsing with each breath. After about five minutes of this, her breathing seemed to slow to a normal steady pace, and Dominique could finally pull away from the bag, her face beet red.
There was a long, pregnant pause.
And then Aidan said, tone hopeful: So, did you like it?
Dominiques face deepened in color. Fred, Potter and I, in perfect unison, took a hasty step backwards, knowing it was only a matter of time before Dom's rage bubbled over into the inevitable explosion. Aidan, however, remained blissfully oblivious, earnest confidence still beaming from his expression.
And then Dom started shouting.
Dominique, abandoning her speech, took three quick, wrathful steps forward, her expression one of total rage. My brother immediately began backing away until he was completely pressed against the wall behind him, his easy smile long gone and now replaced by a pale look of terror. Fred, Potter and I said nothing, unwilling spectators to this whole fiasco.
Er," Aidan began meekly. "I take it you weren't a fan?"
A fan? A FAN? That was the biggest pile of butt-pudding I've ever heard in my life, and thats saying something because I BOUGHT SELENA GOMWIZ'S NEW ALBUM AND HATED IT!
Im sorry, Aidan said mildly. That must have been a terrible waste of money.
Yes it was! I was extremely disappoin HEY, THAT IS NOT RELEVANT TO THIS CONVERSATION! STOP EFFING CHANGING THE EFFING TOPIC, YOU EFFING
Dom could not finish her insult, however, because for some inexplicable reason that no one, probably not even Aidan, could fathom, my brother had quickly stepped forward, grabbed her face, and kissed her. Still looking absolutely terrified, but determination tight in his jaw anyways, my brother had kissed Dominique Weasley.
...And then he promptly ran away.
"Uh-oh," Potter muttered warily next to me. Fred winced in sympathy, though I wasn't sure for whom.
At my brother's sudden absence, Dom stood stock still and speechless for a long moment, unmoving, her lips a thin white line. Just when I was beginning to wonder if I should call for medical assistance, Dominique straightened and, face changing from maroon to white to purple, screeched:
And then she promptly sprinted after my brother, most likely in search of violent, bloody revenge.
Oh Godric.
Fred, Potter and I regarded the empty spaces in front of us where our two friends had previously been, too taken aback to register any emotion other than surprise.
Despite the fact that Dom was most likely fashioning a murder weapon out of the contents in her backpack right now, Fred did not seem concerned at all. Face thoughtful, he turned to Potter and held out his hand.
"Ten galleons Aidan's in the Hospital Wing by four o'clock," he said cheerily.
Deal, Potter agreed, and then they shook on it.
Merlin help us.
Hours later, I was sitting nervously in the Potions dungeons, fidgeting with anxiety as Slughorns dull voice hummed in my ear like an annoying, incessant fly. Potions was my third subject of the day, and Dom hadn't bothered to show up for it. She hadn't attended our second class (Charms), or the first (Ancient Runes) either. Her absences were disconcerting, to say the least.
Knowing my best friend, she was at this very moment either, a) breaking all 206 bones in Aidans body or b) furiously snogging him in a broom-cupboard. I wasnt sure which one was worse. I was naively, optimistically hoping for option c) none of the above, but my inner cynic knew that wasnt likely.
I drummed my fingers on the wooden desk, the action compulsive and involuntary even though the noise was grating on my already raw nerves. Part of me wanted to comb the castle to look for my best friend and brother, but another part knew that I had to stay in class and pay attention. I was torn.
Miss Bennett," came a loud, somewhat indignant voice, and I looked up to see Slughorn's bushy grey moustache looming in front of my eyes along with the rest of his miffed face. "Would you care to explain to me what you've been day-dreaming about for the past ten minutes?" I snapped out of my reverie, feeling my stomach plummet to my shoes. Craparoni.
"Im finding it hard," Slughorn continued imperiously, moustache twitching with annoyance. "To imagine what could possibly be interesting enough to distract you from my lesson. I just instructed the entire class to pair up, yet you seem to not have heard.
I glumly looked around the classroom to see that, indeed, Slughorn spoke the truth. All the other students in the class had broken off into groups of two, sitting at their tables with racks of colorful ingredients and their cauldrons already boiling. Obviously, everyone was preparing to make a potion, but I had been so ensnared in my own thoughts that I didn't even know which one.
I swallowed, turning back to face Slughorn's wrath with an uneasy, strained smile on my face. "Sorry, Professor. I was just thinking to myself and got distracted."
Thinking?" Slughorn huffed disbelievingly, ruddy face turning purplish at the nerve of it all. "Miss Bennett, there will be no thinking in this class!
I coughed, calling on all the resources in my body to stifle the colossal urge to roll my eyes. Sometimes, Slughorn had no idea just how absolutely stupid he could sound.
"Right," I began, trying to keep my voice devoid of any hint of sarcasm. "I apologize for my... thinking, sir."
Slughorn straightened, gave a curt nod and puffed his chest out authoritatively. "That's quite alright, Miss Bennett, just don't do it again or I'll be forced to deduct points." He cleared his throat, gesturing to the opposite side of the classroom with a sweeping hand. "Now, if you could take a seat next to Mr. Bagley of Ravenclaw over there..."
I began gathering my things as Slughorn's instructions droned on in the background, all the while mentally cursing myself for my lapse in concentration. Potions was my worst subject, and I couldn't afford to be dozing off in class, especially my OWL year.
I mean, I was great at the theory part of the subject (I aced all of my essays, worksheets, and written tests), but the potion-making itself? Yeah, not my strong suit. I was known to have exploded a couple cauldrons in my day. Okay, maybe not just the a couple. More like three. Or four. Or nineteen. But who was keeping track anyway?
My Potions ineptitude was made even more painful by the fact that Potter was amazing at Potions. Last year, when the Slytherins had our class with the Gryffindors, Slughorn would always brag about how Potter had inherited his grandmother Lily's knack for brewing. I'd had to put up with our professor's never-ending praise as Potter gloated around, a giant git making everything perfectly like some freakish Potions machine. The fact that Potter could be good at anything besides Quidditch and picking up girls seemed to surprise nobody else but me.
After class (in which my partner, Herny Bagley, and I managed to shamble together a half-decent Calming Draught), the rest of the day passed with no incident, save in Transfiguration, when Evelyn accidentally turned Charlotte Milford's hair a sickly green color in a classic display of her Evelyn evilness.
Dom and Aidan had not shown for any of their classes, and neither did they come to dinner. I was beginning to worry about what they could possibly be doing and where they could possibly be. Even though I tried to valiantly distract myself with homework, I felt scattered like my brain was off flying somewhere in space while I'd been abandoned down here on earth.
That evening, I stood outside the Charms classroom to meet Potter for our nightly Prefect's patrol and let myself simmer with thoughts of Aidan and Dominique and all the worst case scenarios that could be happening between them right now. I drifted into possibilities, letting my imagination run wild as my surroundings drifted away.
Did my brother really miss Dom that much? Or did he just want her because she was unattainable? A part of me the selfish part didnt want them dating. As a couple, Dom and Aidan were always on-and-off at breakneck speed, making them exhausting to keep up with.
Perhaps a definite break would be a good thing it'd give them a chance to both mature, to discover what life could be like without the other. After all, Dom and Aidan's constant drama was hardly healthy, and they were always dragging the rest of us into their tiffs. I distinctly remembered a phase in Third Year, when the two had gone through a particularly nasty break-up and proceeded to passive-aggressively talk to each other through me. For two whole months. The simplest things, like hanging out in the Grounds or walking to class, suddenly became painful chores. A meal at the Great Hall would typically look like this:
Aidan: Agatha, will you please tell Dominique to pass the butter?
Me: Dom, will you pass the butter?
Dominique: Aggy, tell Aidan that I will NOT pass the butter and that he needs to take a short walk off a long pier, or whatever.
Me: Er, Dominique says shes not passing the butter.
Aidan: Well, tell her thats okay, because I dont need butter anyways. My waffle tastes perfectly fine without it. Butters overrated.
Dominique: Well, tell Aidan that the butters glad its not needed, seeing as the waffle is AN OBNOXIOUS, SELF-OBSESSED PRICK!
Me: Um.
Aidan: Tell Dominique that butter is unhealthy and EMOTIONALLY-MANIPULATIVE!
Dominique: Tell Aidan that nobody likes waffles, and that butter will do perfectly fine without him!
Aidan: Tell Dominique that waffles are for sophisticated people with good taste, which she obviously does not have!
Dominique: TELL AIDAN THAT BUTTER IS MOVING ON TO BETTER THINGS, LIKE PANCAKES!
And so on.
Eventually, Id just leave and the two wouldnt even notice, continuing on with their bickering as if I were still there. Kind of sad, if you thought about it.
Maybe I was a bad person for not wanting them to get back together, but Aidan and Dom were an exasperating couple to be around. Dating complicated things, and I liked it better when everything was simple and easy, when everything
I yelped in surprise at the sudden greeting, jumping about five feet into the air as I was so rudely jerked from my reverie. Heart racing, I whipped around to see Potter leaning against the wall, arms crossed and a dark scowl on his face.
Good Godric!" I cried, resting a hand over my thumping heart. You scared the crap out of me, Potter!
Sorry, he said flatly, not sounding very sorry at all. His gaze flicked down my body irritably, stony expression betraying his absolute unwillingness to be here.
Dont do that again! I berated, heart still racing furiously. Next time, just tap the person on the shoulder if you want their bloody attention, okay?" Potter could seriously endanger someone's life with this guerrilla-ambush style of greeting. What if I'd had a heart attack?
Oh settle down, Bennett," Potter shot back condescendingly, face darkening with annoyance at my increasing melodrama. "Its not like I jumped out of the shadows and attacked you.
Um, you may as well have! I retorted.
Potter simply threw his hands into the air in a sarcastic gesture of surrender, eyes simmering with subtle hostility. Whatever. Can we just start patrolling? I want to get this over with so I can go to bed.
Wow, dont get too excited," I snapped, voice lowering into a mocking imitation of concern. "You might have an accident.
Potter resolutely ignored me, turning brusque and business-like as he critically surveyed the stretch of corridor in front of us. Lets patrol this level and then go up to the fourth floor. Then we can be done with it, okay?" he begun to walk away, signaling an end to all conversation for the night. His rigid posture was its own promise of a patrol filled with very stiff, tense silence.
Wait! I called out insistently, speed-walking to catch up with Potter's unfairly long strides. My brow collapsed into a thoughtful frown as I tried to recall the Head Boy's words at our last Prefects meeting. I thought we were supposed to patrol this level and then go down to the second floor.
Nope." Potter gave an adamant, swift shake of the head. "Im pretty sure its the fourth floor.
Were supposed to patrol the second floor, Potter! I asserted, growing surer in the face of his disbelief. It says so on the schedule!
Oh, and do you have said schedule with you?
Er, not physically with me per se, but in spirit "
I see," Potter deadpanned, expression thoroughly unimpressed.
I huffed a sigh of frustration, shoving fingers into my curly mass of hair as I attempted to reason with the git. Just trust me on this one, alright? Were supposed to patrol the second floor, I'm sure, I said firmly. My lips pursed together in a stubborn, implicit challenge that just dared Potter to disagree.
Which he did. Of course.
I don't know how this second-floor-bullshit got into your head, but I checked our schedule right before I got here," Potter said, all high and insufferably mighty. "We're supposed to patrol the fourth."
No," I said slowly. "The second."
Sec Okay, you know what? Were not getting anywhere with this. I relented, trying to quell my slow-bubbling agitation as I struggled to think of a practical solution. How about I patrol the second floor, and you just go patrol the fourth floor?
Rather pleased with myself for coming up with such a brilliant idea and managing to get away from Potter at the same time, I swiveled around and not bothering to wait for a reply began to strut off.
But before I could get far, a warm hand was grabbing my arm and spinning me insistently around. I looked up to see Potter, corners of his mouth turned down in displeasure, eyes flashing with dangerous dissent. Hold up, Bennett," he said calmly, assertively. "We are not splitting up.
And why not? I said, jutting my chin out stubbornly. Honestly, it was like the prat was actively trying to be difficult.
Because," Potter began, enunciating his first few words slowly as if speaking to a particularly stupid child. "When you go off on your own and meddle into some problem Merlin-knows-where in the castle, you'll inevitably get yourself hurt. And I'm going to be held responsible," he added pointedly, tone sharp and not to be argued with. His brow had darkened with adamant conviction, jaw stubbornly clenched in a way that meant business.
Get hurt? What are you talking about? I scoffed, clearly affronted as I backed slowly away from Potter. I am perfectly capable of patrolling by myself, thank you very much.
Potter snorted. His arms folded across his broad chest as he squinted haughtily at me, eyes flicking in a critical once-over of my body. I dont think so.
I fumed. "I will have you know, Potter, that I am a strong independent woman, not to mention a trained prefect fully able to handle any possible complications during a standard patrol "
Oh really?" Potter interjected dismissively. "And what about that incident with Peeves and the water-guns? Were you fully able to handle that?
My voice died in my throat mid-sentence. I gaped disbelievingly at Potter, caught off guard for an embarrassingly long while. The prat might have a good point with that one. How how did you know about that?" I sputtered. Asking was pointless, though. I already knew the answer.
Dominique," we both said at the same time, although in considerably different tones.
Well," I drew in a sharp, dignified breath, attempting to stay composed as I mentally cursed Potter and his insolence. That was once. And a long time ago. Its irrelevant now.
Bennett," Potter shook his head superciliously, taking a nonchalant step forward as he shoved his hands into his pockets. His tone was that of someone about to embark on a long explanation, and I braced myself, really in for it now. "You are clumsy, irrational "
"Hey!" I protested, but was silenced as Potter stepped forward once more, still rattling off his oh-so-flattering list.
"Accident-prone, easily provoked, not very blessed in the hand-eye co-ordination department "
"Somewhat unhinged "
"That's not fair!" I cried, but my voice cut off abruptly as Potter lightly stepped forward one last time and I stumbled backwards only to find my back bumping against the wall behind me. The prat had me trapped.
...And he seemed to know it. Leaning forward, Potter took in my clear discomfort with a gaze glinting in triumph, mouth twisting with wry amusement.
"I am not going to let you loose on Hogwarts," he declared clearly, casually, hands still in his bloody pockets like this was all some mildly entertaining game. "And have you be a major liability to myself and this school."
He'd won, and we both knew it. I was caught off guard and still reeling from our sudden proximity, observing all of Potter's features his hazel gaze, the sly victory in his expression in a half-daze of confusion.
Um Potter close wow interesting, my brain supplied helpfully. My breathing had hitched, and my skin suddenly felt like ice. If getting this close was some tactic of Potter's to put me on edge, it was sure-as-bloody-hell working.
I averted my eyes, refusing to have to look at the prat's face, and instead focused on a spot directly in my sightline. Which was a bad idea, really. A very bad idea indeed, since that spot happened to be Potters chest. His quite... nice chest. Potter wasn't bulky with muscle, but he was lean and... toned. Ahem.
After all, I wasn't going to lie to myself and say Potter wasn't good-looking. Because he was, objectively-speaking, and the git bloody knew it. He had a horrible and intolerable personality, but he was attractive, Id grant him that. He had this... messy, dark hair that contrasted (nicely) with his (smooth, creamy) skin. And his eyes were... colorful. Bright. With swirls of brown and dark green and golden flecks that kind of looked like shards of broken amber.
You know. Objectively speaking.
Potter's unnerving gaze traveled my face, his eyes dark with amusement, the shadows of the corridor pooling into the hollows of his cheek.
We'd fallen into a strange silence something I rarely experienced when Potter was around and there was a long moment in which neither of us said anything. I wasn't breathing, my eyes widened in an almost bewildered fashion as I struggled to process my immediate surroundings.
And then:
Stop undressing me with your eyes, Bennett.
What I Huh? I'm not undressing you with my eyes! I sputtered, mortified at the very thought, face flushing unbearably warm.
The left corner of Potters lips quirked upwards in a skeptical, sure-you-weren't smirk as he pulled away, taking long, easy backwards strides while his gaze amusedly took in my expression.
Oh come on, Bennett, you were definitely checking me out just then," he said triumphantly, tone musical and shit-eating grin already in place. "Youre not fooling anyone. We all know what you're thinking about."
My mouth fell open. What are you implying, exactly?
That youre a promiscuous sex fiend, of course, Potter quipped back, face remarkably innocent.
It took a moment for me to realize that he was joking. And then I scowled, feeling the hot fingers of embarrassment slide down my neck as my face bloomed crimson.
Youre unbelievable, I growled, and Potter just shrugged, continuing to grin in that insufferable manner. Body taut with anger, I whipped around and began to walk away, my fists clenched at the glum realization that Potter had definitely just won that fight.
"Whatever you say, Bennett," Potter called back sing-song-like to my retreating form.
And that was when I sort of just... lost it.
Wheeling around, I turned to face Potter, my expression alight with fury at the completely blithe, dismissive tone in his voice. The embarrassment I'd been feeling only encouraged my anger, and the words were tumbling out of my mouth before I knew it.
"You are so vile, you obnoxious, impertinent prat ugh! There are no words for you! You are the most contemptible person I have ever had the misfortune to meet, do you know that?!" I seethed in a voice high with hysteria, my breathing ragged and rapid. Potter just looked on unfazed, seeming only mildly amused. "Sometimes I wonder what I must have done in a past life to deserve ever meeting a person like you. I think I must have been some sort of of serial puppy killer, given how horrible a misfortune it is to know you now, and you know what? That makes me kind of hate puppies! There you have it, you idiot you make me hate puppies. You make me hate everything "
I was this close to just going bonkers and just ripping out all the hair from my scalp. He was so argh! Words could not describe it; I was so furious I wanted to punch something. Preferably Potter himself.
I started at the sudden noise, my anger subduing considerably as my brow involuntarily flattened in confusion. For a moment, I thought my raging and flailing had caused me to hit something, and whatever it was had gone crashing to the ground. But then I realized that the foreign noise had come from somewhere farther away.
Rearing backwards and shaking my head clear, I locked eyes with an equally perplexed Potter. He blinked, the amusement on his face replaced by a thoughtful frown as we glanced at each other and then around us, in search for the source of the racket.
Hey, did you
hear that?
I frowned, stiffening. It sounded like it was coming from
that direction, Potter interrupted, pointing towards the stretch of dark corridor before us. His finger led to an eerie, inky blackness, dark save for the occasional fluttering light of the torches on the wall. The sight was spooky enough to make me forget my previous anger.
Yeah, I agreed perplexedly. We should probably
go check it out.
Potter, I sighed, exasperated. Will you stop
finishing your sentences? Potters face broke out into a full-fledged smirk. I gritted my teeth.
Yes. That, I bit out, voice considerably strained. Whatever or whoever it was out there making that racket better watch out, because Potter had put me in a sufficiently foul mood and I was not about to indulge anyone's rule-breaking right now.
Come on, Bennett." Potter gestured with his head, expression turning somewhat serious. "Lets go.
Although I didnt appreciate the prat ordering me around like that, I let him take the lead as we speed-walked down the hallway. After all, strange crashing sounds in the middle of the night could never be a good thing especially at Hogwarts and hey, if Potter wanted to be the first to walk down the Creepy Corridor of Death, then that was fine by me.
It didn't take us long to find the source of the noise. As we rounded our first corner, we were met with the sight of a suit of armor lying on the ground. I blinked. Now that was obviously not where it was supposed to be.
The suit's metal glinted in the flickering torch light, its form obviously having broken apart in the process of falling. Now its metallic limbs were scattered across the stone, looking almost like a
Dont say it, Agatha, dont say it.
dismembered body.
My breathing hitched.
Okay, so, this was sufficiently creepy.
I looked up to see Potter walking around the shambly pile of metal, his brow crinkled in calculating concentration as he inspected our surroundings. I walked up to him, hands shaking.
Um, Potter? I asked, voice small as I tugged on his sleeve. Maybe we should go back and get a professor ?
Potter looked up at me, expression incredulous. Merlin, Bennett. Are you seriously afraid right now?"
I scoffed airily, as if he had just proposed something utterly ridiculous. Im not afraid! I just think perhaps it would be wise to head back and find someone who could help "
His hazel eyes rolled to the ceiling. Oh yeah? What happened to that its our duty as Prefects to protect the school and all its students inside bullshit youre always blabbering about?
My teeth gritted, brow tightening in defensive frustration. Excuse me if I was a little wary about frolicking down some unknown, darkened corridor! This was the castle that once housed a three-headed dog in one of its classrooms, after all!
Well it depends on the situation," I answered insistently, sounding way more authoritative and sure than I was currently feeling. "As smart upstanding students, we should report this to the professors.
Yeah, but as diligent prefects we should investigate to see whats going on, Potter pointed out.
And as a human being, I would like to live to see daylight, I snapped back.
Potter chuckled, a patronizing, mocking edge riding in his tone. Relax, Bennett. Nothings going to happen.
How can you know that for sure though?
Don't you trust me, Bennett?"
Of course not! Are you stupid?
Potter seemed to consider this for a brief moment before giving an agreeable shrug. "Fair enough," he quipped, and with that, he grabbed me by the arm and began to walk forward, ignoring my ensuing resistance.
"Potter, Im really not comfortable I dont think its a good idea But I cut-off my protests mid-sentence, because all of a sudden, I heard it:
Muffled giggling.
My blood ran cold. Potters eyes narrowed and he dropped my arm, marching forward to follow the noise.
Potter, wait Pushing aside the Slytherin self-preservation instincts currently screaming at me to turn around and run away like a madwoman, I followed Potter through the darkened corridor. We hurried onward, rounding another corner, and then
stopped in our tracks.
Because right in front of us stood Scorpius Malfoy and Rose Weasley.
They were in some sort of passionate, hormone-induced embrace, sucking each others faces off like there was no tomorrow, hands, er, everywhere in an indecent display of PDA. Obviously, they had been the ones who had knocked down the suit of armor in the midst of all their, um, fervor, and obviously they were too busy eating each other's faces to give a damn about the two astounded Prefects in front of them.
I choked on my own saliva in a delightfully attractive manner, taking in the scene before me. A Malfoy and a Weasley? Together? Like, together together? That was unheard of. In fact, it was just plain strange.
Potter, meanwhile, seemed to be struggling with the same shock i was. "ROSE? he yelled, expression pricelessly livid, and I conveniently remembered that one half of the pair in front of him was his cousin.
The two lovebirds broke apart upon realizing they weren't alone, faces shifting from expressions of surprise to expressions of horror. Upon seeing who had just yelled her name, Rose Weasleys cheeks took on a nice shade of crimson. Scorpius, on the other hand, paled to a fantastic beige color.
Er," Rose began sheepishly, pretty face still rather flushed in the torchlight. "This is going to be hard to explain...
Oh boy.

There are a lot of different food cravings that exist out there. Sweet, salty, crunchy, smooth, healthy, deep-fried, decadent, light. And comfort. Comfort is what I associate with Nairn's.
For the year I lived in Ireland, as a vegan, it was very hard to find comfort food when I was feeling homesick. The Irish are very proud of their dairy and hence it is in everything. Foods that it doesn't need to be in! Every cracker, soup, even breads and most chocolate contained it. I enjoy cooking and baking so it wasn't a big problem, but sometimes you just want a store-bought cookie (because they really do taste different) to dip into your Starbucks coffee (because it's the same everywhere) and curl up and feel sorry for yourself. It was those times that I was so so so grateful for Nairn's and their variety of healthy cookies.
So of course, when Nairn's contacted me and asked if I would do a review of their products on the blog, I jumped at the chance! I had never tried their more savoury offerings before so this was a great opportunity to check out more of what they have to offer.
Nairn's is a Scottish company that specializes in all things oats. From their website,
So you could say that here at Nairn's we really do know our oats. We also know the importance of keeping our delicious award winning products as simple, wholesome and healthy as possible – the proof is in the taste.
I can certainly attest to this statement! What they make is delicious, using only whole oats and wholesome ingredients and they will satisfy any cracker or cookie craving you might have. I had a hard time stopping myself from eating the whole box! Thankfully, they are prepackaged into individual portions (which also makes taking them on the go super convenient)!
*before I go further, I should note that while Nairn's does have certified gluten-free products, the products I am reviewing are not them. While containing no grains except oats, there is a risk for contamination. So if you are very sensitive to gluten, check out their gluten-free products. Not available in Canada.
I tried the Rough Milled and Organic Oatcakes. They were both softer than a cracker, but chewy and really tasted like oats! This might be a silly statement but how often in our current food system does a food really taste like its' ingredients? Not too often.
Oat Crackers
I tried the Oat Crackers with Sunflower Seeds. This were crunchy just like you would expect a cracker to be and have added sunflower seeds to they are actually quite filling.
Oat Biscuits
And now my favourites! These taste more wholesome than your average store-bought cookie: they have a distinct oat flavour. The oats lend a wonderful chewy texture to the crisp cookies. I tried..
The Chocolate Chip had rich dark chocolate chips, the Mixed Berries actually taste like real berries and the Stem Ginger had a wonderful kick. In fact, the ginger were my favourite so I decided to use them in a recipe.
I wanted to see how these biscuits would fare as a cookie crust. Turns out very well!
Nairn's has also offered to send one lucky reader these products to try as well! To enter, leave a comment below telling me which product you'd like to try most! Giveaway will remain open for 1 week, until midnight on October 15, 2014.
- 1 packet of Nairn's Ginger Oat Cookies (5 cookies)
- 2 tbsp coconut oil
- 1 tsp honey
- small pinch sea salt
- ¼ cup coconut oil
- ¼ cup almond butter
- ¼ cup honey
- ¼ cup cacao powder
- 1 tbsp lemon zest
- lemon zest for topping
- Line 7 muffin tins with paper cups.
- Pulse the crust ingredients in a food processor until the cookies are broken down and it sticks together when you press on it. Press into bottom of prepared muffin liners and put in the fridge while you make the filling.
- Heat the coconut oil in a pan over low heat. Add the almond butter and honey and stir until combined with the melted coconut oil. Remove from heat and whisk in the cacao powder and lemon zest until fully incorporated. Pour filling onto of the cookie crust and place in the fridge for a few hours until hardened. Garnish with lemon zest if desired.
- Store in the fridge until ready to serve.
Thank you to Nairn's for these wonderful products and for providing a giveaway!
Disclaimer: I was provided the products for review free of charge, but I was in no way obligated to post a positive review. All opinions are completely my own.

Angel Acres Farm, LLC offers meat processed from grass-fed/grass finished beef steers. These are all antibiotic-free and growth hormone- free. The Belted Galloway is known for their gentle nature, ease of calving, adaptability, and they are genetically inclined to allow for a grass fed/finished beef unlike most commercially, feed-lot produced meat we have been used to. Grass is the natural food for cattle, not grain. Angel Acres' cattle are raised as 'natural' as domestic animals can be raised. While we walk among them, call them by name, watch the calves romp, and wean them close to our residence we grow very fond of our Belties. It is our hope to share this wonderful discovery with others who appreciate a unique taste (because every year the grass is a little different from the last) in low fat beef. It is satisfying to know what 'went into' our product, and to be able to honestly offer to customers that integrity and peace of mind obtained from a natural, wholesome, product. An extensive system of Management Intensive Grazing has been put in place so that our animals frequently get a fresh table set with the green things they love and need. A very generous and knowledgeable 'Farm Manager' helps to make it all work for the best, benefitting the animal, the soil, and the consumer.
The grass-fed Belted Galloway has less subcutaneous fat and is higher in Omega 3 acids than many other breeds of cattle. We concentrate on the best burger meat possible by putting most of the cuts of meat into the ground product. We have found that we have little to 'pour off' into the garbage when we make tacos, sloppy joes, cheeseburgers, meat loaf and meat balls. All meat is inspected and wrapped, labeled, and frozen for delivery..
Grass fed, young veal calves provide a delicious menu item. Advance notice is necessary for scheduling processing but almost always available.
The Katahdin/Dorper lamb cross has been a wonderful product for those who were fortunate enough to obtain them from Angel Acres Farm in the past couple years. More are coming for summer processing.
Freezer Beef by the 1/4 or 1/2 has become a great choice in these tough times when we don't know what is coming up next. Stocking up with the cuts of meat most favored is a wise decision. Again, advance notice for the purpose of scheduling with the processor is necessary.
Of course, we keep chickens, ducks, geese, guineas, and turkeys. We hatch our own and surely enjoy them when it is time for them to become the gift to us that God meant them be. Our farming philosophy and practices are reflected in our memberships in such groups as Slow Food, American Forage and Grassland Council, AgriMissouri, Belted Galloway Society of America, and Eatwild.
See us on the web at www.gallowaybeef.com. Call or e-mail your questions and orders. Call us at 1 888 611 2167 to schedule a farm visit.
Gently raised, grass-fed, grass finished Belted Galloway Ground Beef and Veal.
In Missouri, you can taste our products and purchase them for home use at locations such as LUCAS PARK GRILLE in downtown St.Louis, LOCAL HARVEST CAFE/MARKET near Tower Grove, and BIG SKY in Webster Groves, and The NUTRITION STOP in St. Peters. Retail delivery is possible in and around St. Louis, Jefferson City, Rolla, and mid-MO locations.

Beautiful sparkly snow and crispy cold made us move the geese and ducks into the barn instead of leaving them in their little triangle coop outdoors. How cold can they usually endure overnights?

Ryan Gosling: Beauty And The Beast
Hollywood's most handsome face turned into bloody mess for new role
But in his new movie, Only God Forgives those perfect features have been smashed beyond recognition.
Skilled make-up artists have made the 32-year-old star unrecognizable by covering his face with swollen bruises and cuts while grafting-on what looks like a prosthetic nose.
In Only God Forgives, the star portrays ex-boxer-turned-gangster Julian, who fights a Bangkok police lieutenant to avenge the death of his brother.
Kristin Scott Thomas plays the mobster's mother Jenna, who forces him to find and kill the person responsible for his sibling's death.
The crime thriller, which was shot on location in Thailand, was written and directed by Nicolas Winding Refn.
The talented director previously worked with Gosling on Drive – Only God Forgives is scheduled for release in March 2013.Gosling can currently be seen in The Place Beyond The Pines with his real life girlfrend Eva Mendes.

It's a dog eat dog world out here. Nothing made it clearer than when the more popular Instagram cleanly cut the throat of the upstart app known as Vine by adding a video feature before Vine had enough time to even cash out. Now Vine is all but a floating body while IG strolls off singing "no new friends."
So in celebration of IG's No Church In The Wild award and to mourn the withering of the Vine, TUD takes a look at some of the IG pics that could have saved Vine and the background dialogue that might have gone with them.

There's a Peruvian proverb that reads... "Gold, when beaten, shines." This simply means it takes a little elbow grease to make even gold look good. As with most things in life, the more effort we put in, the better things go. I've been trying to teach this important lesson to Ava, especially when the going gets tough. Not everything is as instantaneous as twitter or as fun as facebook. Incidentally, I've been using this proverb as I prepare to deliver a speech tonight in front of 350 people at … [Read more...]
About the food of Peru
The dream was born in seventh grade geography class; I had to feel the sunrise in Machu Picchu. One photo of that misty, lush mountain topped with ancient Inca ruins was all I needed. I was in love. Sure, there were snow capped mountains, modern cities, sashaying rivers, and lush, green jungles to explore... but I wanted to teleport straight into the incredible mountain city that'd been mysteriously abandoned so many years ago. All these years later and I still haven't reached … [Read more...]
Monday Meal Review: Paraguay
"Here at last," I think, as we pull up to our cabin at Beaver's Bend State Park. I gaze up at the tall, skinny trees and then down to the sturdy stilts which keep the cabin from falling into the river below. They are the same circumference. A familiar smile curls my lips and I look back at Ava. She's staring out the window in awe. Here is our little house on the water.

Paraguay (pronounced parag-why) is the first landlocked country we've cooked in a long, long while. To celebrate, we're going to hang out in a local swamp.

Review by
audioxclusive from chicago
Bought these components to replace some infinity coaxials. In my opinion I downgraded. The tweeters are loud and clear at low and high levels, witch its good. The mid high its clear at low volume but distorts at higher levels. Notice how I said mid high, the speaker does not produce much of a mid low bass, its ok for me I got some 12's to take care of the lower frequencies but if buying to replace stock speakers without a sub I wouldn't recommend them. By the way I'm powering them with a fosgate power t400.4 amp, so I know I got enough power going to them.

DescriptionTemp Kitchen Supplies & Utensils The Brita® Complete Faucet Filtration System saves space and uses a long-lasting filter, perfect for families, kitchens and cooking. The system attaches easily to your faucet in minutes, with no tools required. The faucet filter reduces chlorine (taste and odor) and lead, so what you get is healthier†, great-tasting water, right from the tap. Product Specifications
How Brita® Filters WorkIn a Brita® Faucet filter, there is a two-step process. When you turn on your tap, water first passes through a non-woven screen around the filter to trap sediment. Then, the water then flows through a compressed block of carbon and zeolite, reducing chlorine (for taste and odor) and lead. What Brita® Filtration Systems Reduce From Tap WaterThe quality of U.S. and Canadian tap water is generally quite good, but chlorine is often added as a disinfectant by certain municipalities, and lead can leach out of household plumbing. Brita® pitcher and faucet water filtration systems reduce the following common impurities, and can even remove 96.6% of pharmaceuticals including Acetaminophen, Carbamazepine, Estradiol, Naproxen and Progesterone. Certifications and Seals of ApprovalBrita®'s products are certified under the Water Quality Association (WQA) Gold Seal Product Certification Program. WQA's Gold Seal immediately identifies that Brita®'s products meet or exceed industry standards for specified contaminant reduction, structural integrity and material safety.

Capriati's doesn't see venus as a threat!
Jul 27th, 2002, 08:09 PM
No, she sees serena as the main threat to her number1 ranking.
Jul 27th, 2002, 08:11 PM
Hmmm...funny...since she is quite behind Venus in the rankings as well...and considering that she has never won a match against Venus...whereas she has won matches over Serena (although not this year). I think she should see them both as threats, as they see her as a threat as well.

oh yeah, it would seem to me that jen would think anyone above her as a stumbling block to the number one spot, but she was there before and I'm sure she's more than capable of getting back there.
also the fact that venus and serena will most likely go back to school in the fall only helps jennifers cause.

Capriati's doesn't see venus as a threat!
Maybe she needs glasses?
anyway jen is no fool she knows what she must do to get back to the top and she has the skills to do it. Maybe she should find a specialist coach to work on her and put daddy dearest on hold for a bit. Same for venus and serena, for the life of me I dont understand why a specialist can't come in and work out some kinks.
Jul 27th, 2002, 09:32 PM
Perhaps Jenn sees Serena as clear cut #1, and figures if she can take Serena, Venus will take care of herself. Which isn't unreasonable. Why focus on both of them?
Jul 27th, 2002, 11:25 PM
I think both Venus and Serena are deep in Jenn's head. She once doubted both of them, but now see's they are the real deal. Hell she even tried to take up martial arts to deal with it, but all she did was injure herself. j/k ;)
Jul 27th, 2002, 11:26 PM
Most people usually feel that the number 1 player is THE one to beat.
But Venus is an honorary No. 1 player too, so I'm sure Jen is WELL aware of her.
Good luck Jen, its time to defeat a Willaims sister ;)
Jul 27th, 2002, 11:28 PM
who cares what Jen thinks. Even when she herself was so called #1, everyone knows that Venus was the real #1 as stated by Lindsay. So what she thinks just doesn't mean a thing!
Jul 27th, 2002, 11:43 PM
I think all Jen sees is Matt Perry passing her the Dubois, know what I mean?;) :p :D
Jul 27th, 2002, 11:45 PM
