Chapter 5
“Well, if we have settled down, I have a proposition to make.”
A proposition. I nearly swoon. Smelling salts, I need smelling salts. What is he trying to say? A proposition. Next he’d try to threaten me to do his bidding or fail my NEWTs. What kind of a day is this? First that fallout with my friends, thinking of him as sexy, the vision of a candle-lit dinner and then this. God what did I do to deserve this? His voice brought me back to earth.
“Please be assured that it is not the kind of proposition you are thinking of. I am no old pervert. Its purely business.”
A sigh of relief escapes my mouth before I can stop it. He smirks.
“What is it, Sir?”
“Before I tell you my proposition I’d like to tell you that I know of the little pilfering of my private stores back in your second year and I know who’s responsible.”
God’s nightgown!! How does he know?? Maybe he’s just bluffing. I pray to God there is no Veritaserum in my drink. I don’t want to give away all Harry’s secrets and a few of my own. The drink might have been procured by the ashtray still I don’t put it past him.
“Pro..fe..ssor.. I . I .. can .. ex..plain”
“There’ll be no need, Miss Granger. My source was very eloquent. Or should I say my two sources.” His eyes gleam as he says this.
Two sources. No, it can’t be Harry and Ron. But who else knew of our little exploit. Certainly not Malfoy. I decide to ask him.
“Two sources, you say?”
“Yes, Miss Granger. Misters Potter and Weasley. They were, may I add, involuntary sources.”
That just saved my best friends from a fate worse than death. I look up at him questioningly, my eyes searching his face for any answer to how he found out. He takes the unspoken hint and continues.
“You need to remind your friends to keep their mouth shut about secrets when in public. They were bragging about it, one day, in, of all places, the library, where they should have kept quiet if not out of caution but merely out of etiquette. But apparently they possess not an ounce of either.”
I nod absently instead of defending my friends but the knowledge of his knowledge was too stressful to think of any other thing. He knows. He knows. What would I do now? I’ll sure be expelled. Is that’s what he’s about to tell me now? But shouldn’t Dumbledore or McGonagall be telling me this.
“Don’t worry, Miss Granger. You will not be expelled.”
I sigh, relieved.
“At least this time.”
What does this mean now?
“I am sure that’s just the tip of thebereberg and that you have had more escapades than I care to know. But, take my word for it, you’ll not be expelled for this one.”
He doesn’t know of our hand in Sirius’ escape and our various ventures over the past seven years. I am suddenly smug about his ignorance.
“That is, if, you agree to my proposition.”
Which brings us back to the blasted proposition of his. Why is he not telling me outright? What is so horrible that he needs to threaten me with expulsion? Oh Sweet Merlin, the suspense is killing me !
“What is it, Professor?”
He looks around us and with an air of mystery says,
“Listen carefully, Miss Granger.”
.::.::.::.::.:.::.::.::.::.::.::.::.::.::.::.::.::.::.
A/N: Another cliffy. Technically a recycled cliffy. But like before, I couldn’t resist it. Happy Guessing.
Thanks every one for reviewing.
nesscafe-- yes the valentine devilry starts in the 7th chapter.
Cheers!!
