EEk! Before I forget again! Here is chapter 10!!! EnjoY!
Before September ended, Sakura was finally released from the Hospital wing- her memory completely "patched up". Slowly, Sakura walked to the Hufflepuff breakfast table and took a seat by Kyo. "I heard about the match. Hikaru filled in for me right? I'm sorry I couldn't have been there.."
Kyo swallowed his bagel. "Don't worry about Quidditch! I'm just glad to see you're doing better! Madame Pomfrey said your short term memory took a longer time to recover than she
expected."
Sakura nodded and they both continued to eat in silence. When they were full, Kyo walked Sakura to their next class: Herbology with Professor Sprout... and Slytherin. Sakura took a seat in the large green house and admired the blossoms clinging to the branches of trees growing inside. Life seemed to be all around her!
"My name is Professor Sprout. As you know, the second quarter is beginning so the schedules are changing. For Hufflepuff, this is the first time I've seen you all year. Most of the Slytherins, however, started taking this class weeks ago. In any case, I've decided that we should study Mandrakes this quarter because Peeves the Slytherin ghost has been petrified. A potion made from the mandrake's leaves can revive him so he may be up and about." Proffessor Sprout looked pensive. "This happened almost five years ago when Harry Potter attended Hogwarts. A Basilisk froze the Griffindor ghost, Nearly Headless Nick back then. But now like then, Professor Snape has generously volunteered his talent and agreed to whip up a potion to return Peeves to normal!"
Sakura and Kyo exchanged glances. Would Snape really help Peeves? They doubted it.
"Now, take a pair of ear muffs," Professor Sprout instructed, "And pull the mandrakes from their pots!"
Kyo laughed. "Hey Sakura," He pointed, "These one's look like Chi's ears from Chobits!"
Sakura thought they were cute and put them on, while Kyo took a blue pair. After the lesson ended, Kyo was surprised Sakura hadn't somehow fainted.
"Oh Sakura! Do you know we have a quidditch match today against Ravenclaw? You don't have
to do it if you still feel weak.."
Sakura looked at Kyo with determination. "No way- I'll be there!"
With the freetime they had before the match that afternoon, Kyo took the liberty to conduct the meeting in the Defense Against the Dark Arts (DADA) classroom, to discuss the strange happenings.
