The continuation for HP world short story
After the two Slytherin walked out of the room, Miyazawa gave a half-sigh-half-snort while shaking her head. She knew fully that Slytherin students are famous for being individualist, cold, and sometimes, lack of emotions. And even though not all of them are bad, at least she knew three of them are not like that, most of the the You-Know-Who followers, the Death Eaters, were used to be in the House of Slytherin. Of course their friends were an exception. Being the pure-blood herself, she knew some of the trio`s family`s history and she also knew some of the Slytherin Trio`s family members were also the Death Eaters too, but their core families are not.
Miyazawa sighed again at her friend. ‘I know that they are pretty cool to befriend with… but… I still don’t know how or why Tomo~mi can fall to one of them. Itano is gorgeous, sure, but… Gah…. Not my type, I guess…’ Sure, she knows now that not all Slytherin are bad. Especially after hours of hours of nagging from one of her fellow Hupplepuff about that issue, or more precisely about the Ice Princess of Slytherin that, if she want to, can be very sweet and nice, and therefore proves her theories that not all Slytherin are bad. Miyazawa threw her friend a glance again, and it seemed like her friend was in a ‘love-struck mode’. AGAIN. What’s with the heart sign and flower confetti that seemed to flow out of her eyes as she was gazing at the door, well, actually to the direction of her Slytherin girlfriend was.
With a clap of her hands, Miyazawa exclaimed, “Alright, come on, Tomo~mi. We have to get back to the Common Room before Sayaka knows about what happened earlier.” She put her hand on her friend`s shoulder and ushered her outside of the class room, without much resistance from her ‘still on a daze’ friend. While they were reached the Main Hall, she added. “If Sayaka knows about it, I might get a nagging of a life-time.”
“Then you can let me go by myself….” Kasai countered.
“If I didn’t come with you, I’ll get even more nagging from our Gorilla Head Girl!!”
“And who did you called Gorilla?” a dangerous voice said from behind the two Prefects, made them jumped and halted their way towards the Kitchen area, and turned back to face the... Hupplepuff`s… Quidditch Captain.
“Dammit, Yuko!!” Miyazawa cursed loudly at the grinning Captain. “I thought you’re Sayaka!”
“Hey…,” Kasai greeted the other Hupplepuff, “don’t you have a Quidditch strategies meeting with Sayaka and Ayaka? Why are you here?”
“Oh, it’s finished a few minutes ago.” Yuko said while she was still grinning, “Actually we wanted to do some training for the upcoming match against Ravenclaw, but our Seeker has a lot of homework for tomorrow`s Charm class.”
“Urk… I forgot.” Kasai said, looking a bit blue. “Charms homeworks…, sorry, I have to rush.” she said as she ran towards their Common Room with the stare from her two friends following her around as they sweat-dropped.
“Didn’t she saw me working on my Charm`s homeworks last weekend?” Miyazawa mumbled as she massaging her forehead. “How could she forget that she has the same homework too?”
“ah… let her be…” Oshima said and then she grinned mischievously, “and besides, you have another thing to worry about.”
Miyazawa gulped and she slowly remembered what she had said earlier. “Yo-you won’t tell Sayaka that I just called her Gorilla, right? I’m just kidding, you know.”
“Man… I’m sure she’ll be sad if she knows that you also called her Gorilla…” Yuko exclaimed in mock sympathy towards the Head Girl who’s also her room-mate and fellow Seventh Year student, knowing that it would made the tall girl beside her felt even guiltier. “I for sure will be sad if Haruna ever called me gorilla…”
“Don’t tell her… please…” Miyazawa begged to her senior.
“Mm… okay.” Yuko quickly said, made Miyazawa flabbergasted at the sudden change in her demeanor, “But! You have to buy me some butterbeer when we visit Hogsmeade again.”
“Of course! Just don’t tell her… please….”
“Fine… fine… I won’t.” Oshima said as she waving her hand up and down. “ah, by the way…. Sayaka was saying that she want to take a bath when we’re separate… if you know what I mean.”
“You mean….” Miyazawa mumbled, and slowly, her lips quirked a grin, before she ran out towards the Prefect`s Bath on the fifth floor.
“Good luck! It’s usually empty at this time of the day.” Oshima yelled after her friend and then she casted her gaze towards open field from the window. “Mm… I wonder what Nyan-Nyan`s doing right now. Blasted N.E.W.T. Preparation classes and homeworks… separate me from my Nyan-Nyan….” She mumbled as she watched Hagrid chasing the Weasley and Potter Brothers from trying to entering the Forbidden Forest. Again. She smiled at the sight and after seeing the red crest on their robes, her mind reminded her again of her Gryffindor girlfriend.
Of all the couples in her circle of friends, or circle of Prefects, Head Girls, and Quidditch`s Captain actually, only herself and Kojima, and Kasai and Itano, whose belonged to a different Houses. And because of the Houses rivalry for… nearly everything, unlike the other couples, the two couples has to hide their relationship. And she could hardly stop herself from being too friendly whenever she and Kojima has the same classes or seeing each other in the hallway. Of course the double Tomomi pair has more difficulties if their relationship ever came to surface before they’re graduate, because one of them in Slytherin.
Oshima let out a sigh and opened the window. The cold winter wind was blowing softly as if caressing her. She closed her eyes and enjoyed the feeling of the wind on her skin before she opened her eyes again and let out a low and long whistle. While waiting, she pulled out a parchment from her bag and ripped some of it into a small piece, and wrote in it with her favorite quill. Just by the time she had finished writing, a beautiful forest owl with sleek white feather standing on the windowsill with its bright green eyes watching at her. She smiled at the owl and tenderly caressing its` soft feather.
“Hey, buddy. Thanks for coming so fast.” She patted the owl`s head a few times and tied the parchment into its` leg. “Give it to my Nyan-Nyan, okay? And don’t go before she writes me a reply.” The owl hooted to reply its owner. Oshima smiled at her owl again and after she gave some pat to the owl again, the owl spread its wings and fly away, to its` owner`s girlfriend.

In a foggy and warm room with a big round bathtub that’s almost like a mini-pool in the middle, a girl with a chiseled features was sitting with her back leaned on the side of the tub with her eyes closed. The tub was filled with bubbles and the flowerily scent from the foam made her sighing in bliss. The bliss that was soon to be disturbs by her junior.
The said junior was opening the door loudly, only wrapped in a towel and immediately ran towards the tub when Akimoto turned her head to look at the source of the disturbance. Miyazawa shouted, “Saaaaayaaaaaakaaaaaaa…” as she ran and she jumped to the tub, splashing the mixture of water, bubbles and soaps everywhere. Akimoto smiled as she watched the energetic girl`s head finally came to the surface and then she was shaking her head like a wet dog to dried her hair, the action that made Akimoto laughed and shielding herself from the water with her arm.
“How did you know I’m here?” Akimoto asked as Miyazawa swam towards her.
Miyazawa just grinned and sat beside the older girl with her back against the tub too. “Yuko told me.”
“Oh?” Akimoto mumbled as she leaned her head to Miyazawa`s shoulder, “reminds me to thank her then.”
For a while the two of them only sat on the tub in silence, with the occasional blissful sighs here and there. Then, Miyazawa softly said, “I’m going to miss this.” Akimoto looked at her questioningly, so then she continued, “This… You… Me… together like this… and um….” All of a sudden she became shy and she quickly stuttered, “I-I mean… I’m going to miss Yuko too… and um… Takahashi, Kojima, Kashiwagi, Shinoda… um… all the Seventh Years students…”
Akimoto smiled fondly at the younger girls whose still looking a bit red, “Silly, it’s not like we won’t see each other anymore.”
“But… but… it won’t be the same.” Miyazawa whined, “you had always been here from the first moment I came here. It won’t be the same without you here.”
“We still can see each other during summer and winter vacation, right?” Akimoto said with a smile, trying to cheer the younger girl. “And I’ll try to go to Hogsmeade to see you when you have your Hogsmeade visits. And… we still got a few months left until July. So… lets make the most of it.”
“Sometimes I envied Yuko and Tomo~mi. Even though their girlfriends are not in the same House like us, at least they are in the same Year. So even though they can’t be together all the time, they still can see each other in class and such.” Miyazawa sulked even more. “And they don’t have to experience the separation that is caused by graduation.”
“Aren’t you used to pity them though? Because, even though they have the same classes and all, they rarely had the time together.” Akimoto said with a re-assuring smile. “And you the one who told me how sad Tomo~mi was in all your Transfiguration and Defense against the Dark Arts classes, because even when the distance between the two of you and Itano only a few meters away, it’s seemed like there’s an invisible wall separating the two of them.”
Miyazawa sighed and mumbled, “Everyone has their own problems, huh?” She turned her head to look at Akimoto and smiled. “Yeah, you’re right. We should make the most of the little time you have in Hogwarts.” Miyazawa exclaimed, already energetic again.
“Of course.” Akimoto nodded while her hand slowly sneaked to the younger girl`s hand and held it under the water surface. They shared a small smile and let the silence engulf them again. Content and happy with each other`s presence for the time being.
“Puddlemere United sent me an owl earlier.” Akimoto said softly while stretching her body.
Miyazawa whipped her head to face her as she shouted, “eh!?”
“They want me to join their team as their Beater.” Akimoto said as she was playing with the bubble in front of her. “Only filling the bench for now. Nothing grand. They sent an owl to Yuko too. They guarantee that she’ll be the starter. She’s a good Chaser, so it’s not a wonder they want her.”
“Oh, well… congratulations. Puddlemere is a good team.” Miyazawa said with a big happy smile, but her smile vanished as fast as it comes. “Awww…,” she whined while pouting, “now I have to be able to join Puddlemere United too. I still want to be in the same team with the two of you.”
“I’ll be waiting then. After that, we’ll be known as the Puddlemere`s Twin Tower Beaters, not Hupplepuff`s Twin Tower Beaters.” Akimoto patted the younger girl`s head.

Dungeon, Slytherin Common Room.
The Head Girl and one of the Prefect were sitting on the sofa near the fireplace with a thick book on their hands with the occasional writing down some notes here and there. The Prefect has a long parchment in the coffee table in front of her and some maps of the night sky by the side of her book. Coco, her pet dog, was sleeping on her lap. The Head Girl has a few books beside her and her eyebrows furrowed together as a sign of her distress from ‘too much to study but too little time left’, and when some early teens on the other end of the room roared in laughter, her eyebrow twitched in annoyance.
“Shut it down it you don’t want me to give you all a detention!!” Shinoda shouted and growled at the same time as she stood up and glared at the group. And after the other Slytherin shut their mouth and earned herself a few grateful look from her fellow Seventh Year students and some Fifth Year who’s having their O.W.L. tests by the end of the school year, she sat back down and muttered to her friend, “Damn those Second Years, they haven’t feel how is it to studying too much…”
Itano raised her head slightly to glance at her fuming friend. “Relax, you let the stress overcome you.” And she turned her attention back to her Astronomy homeworks. “and those kids will know how it feel after their Fifth Year.”
Shinoda sighed and picked another book, and began to read it while teasingly said to the younger Prefect in a low voice so the other students won’t hear it, “and you’re too relaxed. Is it because the promise you had made for later tonight?”
The Prefect blushed slightly, but she was saved from giving any answer to her Head Girl, because at that moment, the door to their Common Room was opened loudly. And the culprit immediately ran towards them after she spotted them. Shinoda was looking at the new-comer with a calculating glare by the time she came closer. The girl, still on her Quidditch robe, dirty Quidditch robe, completed with the body protector, gulped loudly.
“Um… is something wrong?”
“Mariko was just getting stressed from study.” Itano answered the girl, made Shinoda rolled her eyes in exasperation and she scrunched up her nose, “Miss Minegishi, go change your clothes, it’s really dirty.”
“Hey, go easy on me. You’ll be so… love me when we win the Quidditch Cup this year.” Minegishi said with a confident smile.
“Yeah… right… But, Miichan, you forgetting something…,” Itano retorted, “I don’t care much in Quiddicth, Captain.”
“Same here…” Shinoda added.
The Captain looked at her friend sadly and she latched herself on Itano, knowing that it’ll irritate her more. “Tomo… you’re one of my Chaser, how could you say that… and why don’t you help me practice earlier?”
“I have homeworks, and besides, I just like the competition and the adrenaline rush during the match,” Itano said calmly, and then she pushed the other girl off her, “get off, you’ll dirtied my clothes.”
Minegishi huffed at her, but she let the other girl go. Not long after, a little owl with brownish feather flied towards Itano and stood on her armchair with one of its leg headed to her, the leg with the small parchment. Coco, who’s awakened when Minegishi came earlier, followed the owl movement with its eyes, and by the times Itano freed the owl`s leg from the parchment, the owl immediately fled away.
“That’s a school`s owl, right?” Minegishi asked while peeking to looked at the parchment from behind Itano`s shoulder. “What did it said?” Itano blushed completely as she read, which made Minegishi and Shinoda even more curious.
“N-nothing.” Itano stuttered when she answered Minegishi while folding the parchment.
“Booo… what did it said?” Minegishi insisted, “Come on, Tomo… I’m your roommate since our First Year, don’t you trust me?”
“As I said, it’s nothing.” Itano said as she moved her hand that held the parchment away from her friend. But she forgot the other friends, unknown to her, her hand flew right in front of Shinoda who’s grinning evilly and snatched the parchment away. The other Slytherin could only looking at them from a far, curious as to what made their Ice Princess blushing like that, but no one dares to get closer to the trio.
“Mariko!” Itano hissed at the Head Girl, she definitely didn’t think that Shinoda would snatch the parchment from her hand.
Shinoda`s face shown up various emotion as she read the letter. First, her face shown curiosity, then surprised, and after that she grinned mischievously, while the owner of the letters was blushing furiously again. Shinoda pulled out her wand from her pocket and chanting, “incendio”, towards the parchment on her hand and small red light came out from the tip of her wand towards the parchment, and within second, only a small amount of ashes left from the parchment, with the two younger girls, (and the others as well) gaped at her.
“W-why did you burn my letter?” Itano yelled at her, half surprised half angry.
“Because its` got your name and ‘her’ name written in it.” Shinoda coolly said and then she looked around her to see if there’s someone trying to overhear them. “And the ‘I-think-I’ll-wear-my-special-underwear-for-tonight’ will definitely blow your relation with her instantly.” She added with a higher pitched voice to mimicking one Hupplepuff Prefect`s voice while she was saying the sentence with apostrophe and then went back to her normal voice afterwards, made their Quidditch Captain fell off from the sofa due from laughing too much and the letters` owner to blushed again.
Shinoda sighed and muttered under her breath, “I definitely will go to the bath earlier tonight, it’ll be better to miss dinner than to share a bath with them.”
Minegishi calmed down and went to sit on the sofa again. “Ah… She really wrote that, Mariko?” She asked Shinoda while wiping the tears from her eyes and clutching at her stomach. And after Shinoda nodded, she turned her attention to her roommate and teasingly said, “I know she can be a flirt if she wants to. But, maaaaannn…. She wrote ‘that’ in a letter?” She shook her head while making a ‘tsk…tsk…’ sound with her mouth and added, “no wonder she can melted our Ice Princess here.”
“Shut it!” Itano snapped at her and she hurriedly put all of her belonging on her bag.
“Where’re you going?” Minegishi asked Itano when she stood up.
“Room.” Came the short reply.
“Huh?” Minegishi mumbled as she and Shinoda were watching at Itano`s back. “Ahh….” Minegishi shouted loudly and as she ran to chaseher roommates, she said, “waaaaittt…. I need to copy your Transfiguration homework.”
