Chapter 33: Interactions with Hogwarts Girls

-Hogwarts-

It was morning in the Slytherin common room, I wouldn't have stayed here longer than necessary if it wasn't for the fact that I saw something that interested me. Earlier today he could see Pansy trying to get Draco's attention, but Draco ignored her and left. She ended up hanging her head depressed.

I walked up behind her quietly and whispered in her ear.

"I ignore you again?" I asked for.

"Ahh...what are you doing here?" She was startled and tensed at the sight of me.

"Asking you... now tell me" I smiled making her shiver.

"Don't you see that this is your fault" she complained, but her attitude didn't have the drive that she had when we first met.

"You know well that it's not my fault... I've seen him from the beginning ignoring you, no matter how hard you tried, he never noticed anything you did..." I told him as I walked around him "What Did I change something...? If you asked him who is more important, you or Crabbe or Goyle, who do you think he would choose?" I whispered in her ear as if my words were the voice of the devil.

After that I left her alone in the common room, it seemed that she was caught in my words, looking at nothing.

"That's not true, you're just trying to fool me again Weasley" she yelled, but when she raised her head she realized that it was too late for me to hear it, it had been a while since I left...

After leaving Pansy behind I went to continue my training, but mainly, with something that I have tried for quite some time.

I could be seen in a remote part of the castle, extending my hands in front of me towards a great bloody mass that floated in the air, but that at times became unstable. You could see the concentration on my face and the effort I put in, even with all that the bloody mass in front of me, like a balloon, exploded.

"Damn, I felt like I was close" I stomped my foot on the floor "Just one more time" I encouraged myself.

I extended my hands in front of me, circulated my blood magic once more, and the amorphous pool of blood re-formed. Minutes passed and it was difficult to make him stop shaking, what he was doing was very demanding.

I don't know how long it took but at one point, just when I felt like I was about to explode again, the bloody mass stopped shaking and quickly took on an anthropomorphic appearance.

"YES!"

In front of me another me appeared, something I've been trying for a long time, my third clone. When I created my first clone it had consumed almost all of my blood magic, but with its use I learned how to be more efficient with the blood energy I create it with, plus my blood magic constantly grows to the point that the day of Today I was able to make another clone, but...

This clone was different, he couldn't feel the slightest bit of magic inside him, he wasn't any different than a Muggle or a Squib. I think I don't have enough blood magic to make a perfect clone, this lack means that I don't have all the capabilities. I guess if I unmade Tenebrius I could make 3 or 4 of these non-magical clones.

Well, before I used the clone to go to class, but now that it doesn't have magic I'll have to go myself and let the clone do the other things that don't involve magic... maybe I can use it in history class.

Another curious thing is that unlike the first clone, the mental deficiency caused by the parallel consciousness is not that serious, I guess I got used to it.

Now with another pair of hands things are easier. I sent my main body to the dining room and the clone to the library.

Once inside the great hall I went to the Gryffindor table where I was greeted by Lavander and Parvati with whom I chatted for a while, I also chatted a bit with Fred and George who were working on a new invention.

When I looked to the Slytherin table I could see how Pansy, who was speaking to Draco, seemed to freeze for a moment and then got up from the table to quickly leave the great hall.

'Interesting' I thought.

After breakfast we went to class, Lavender was a bit clingy, so she got depressed about having to separate us, since now Slytherin had a class with Ravenclaw, not Gryffindor.

Two remarkable things happened during the class.

First is that I saw how depressed Pansy was to the point where she was practically alone in class, but I'm sure if she were to talk to her she probably wouldn't get any response.

The other thing is that Padma Patil sat down with me today, voluntarily.

"My sister told me that she 'saw you' too," he whispered quietly to me during class.

"Yes, although I had to give him a good scare to get it" she replied.

"She told me too..."

"Why your sudden appearance and this talk? Usually we don't get along badly, but we don't get along so well that you sit with me instead of your friends" I asked puzzled.

"It's nothing... I just wanted to talk. Parvati told me that they were now friends and since you haven't been to the Ravenclaw table we haven't had time to chat, you are someone with a lot of knowledge so many of us benefited from when you appeared. .. I'm just saying..." she said somewhat embarrassed.

I think she's a little jealous of her sister, or maybe she's angry that even though she was able to see me first, it was Parvati that I made the first friendship with. This may be due to the personalities of both and their houses, Padma is more reserved, while Parvati is more outgoing and brave in front of others. Or maybe I'm just overthinking it.

"Also..." He continued "Penelope told me to tell you literally that 'She misses her little brother, that she is sad that he has forgotten about her and ignored her lately'" she said more embarrassed when she had to act, badly , the tone of false pity that I suppose Penelope used when I explained that she should tell me.

"Okay, tell her I'll see her this afternoon at the library"

"Alright"

With that our talk ended and we paid attention in class. With my help Padma had no problem, I don't think she would have anyway, but I allowed her to finish all the exercises more quickly than usual.

We finished classes in the morning and it was time for lunch. It wasn't too bad, I sat down at the Slytherin table much to the chagrin of several people. I was surprised that Pansy just gave me a long look with confused feelings and then quickly went back to eating to leave. Her behavior is weirder than usual, even weirder than it was after our hug, maybe if I ask Draco what I told him...

In the afternoon I was walking to the library with my clone, hoping to meet Penelope. But I didn't expect that, going through a secret passageway, she would cross paths with someone I didn't want to see.

"Farley!"

"Weasley!"

We both said at the same time, surprised that we took the same passageway at the same time.

She pulled her wand out of her quickly and cast spells at me. I couldn't defend myself, I didn't have any magic, so taking out my wand was useless, my blood magic was fully occupied in maintaining this clone and Tenebrius, and even this clone's body isn't as good as the original.

I could only try to dodge, which he realized and started attacking more intensely with more diverse methods so I can't adapt.

I couldn't dodge all of them and one of his spells hit me causing a yellow-orange flame to cover half of my body. I had to contain the cry of pain, that flame did not cause me serious damage, but it caused the place where it touched me, which was a large part of my right torso, arm and part of my face, to suffer from a strong red rash, like this as if it were a slight but painful burn.

His Spell had knocked me to the ground without having a chance to get up. When she saw that she was able to hit her and put me down, she smiled and cast other spells, but a protective layer appeared in front of me that prevented them from getting close.

"Protego" a girl's voice was heard, who with that spell blocked those cast by Gemma.

Lying on the ground holding my right side, I could see a wand above me held by a delicate hand. When I further widened my field of vision I could see who had protected me.

"Penelope!" I said amazed and I wasn't the only one.

"Stay out of this Clearwater" Gemma said annoyed at being interrupted.

"Hum...I didn't think a prefect would attack a student, not from her own house, at least" Gemma complained without looking away from her.

"This is something between the two of us, it has nothing to do with you"

"Now that I'm here, it has everything to do with me" she told him taking a combat stance.

"It seems that maybe the rumors weren't false, what happened, did you love her little cock that now you can't live without her anymore Clearwater" sneered mischievously.

"You're wrong, she didn't want to despite being the only person I really offered it to" she comments on the floor.

"Shut up" Penelope yelled at me somewhat embarrassed.

The two looked at each other for a moment and then cast spells at each other one after another.

"Expelliarmus"

"Stuffy"

"Protego"

"Tailius Serpent"

"confrigo"

"Protego"

...

With Penelope in front of me covering me, I was able to stand but with difficulty. She was thinking of ways to help her, in fact the main body was rushing here to join the fight, which was the reason she didn't dispel the clone until now. But not everything went as we expected.

From behind Penelope and I a third person appeared who, with a spell from her wand, separated the two girls who were dueling.

"What's going on here?!" Professor McGonagall exclaimed that she had appeared inside the secret passage due to the commotion we had caused with the fight, which she could hear as she passed by.

"Professor McGonagall!" x3

We all stopped in place, completely silent, with both girls involuntarily hiding their wands behind them. Penelope was about to say something, but with my good hand I squeezed her buttock making her hard and she couldn't say anything while I stepped forward slightly.

"It's just a conflict between classmates, nothing important professor" I said looking terrified as I clung to Penelope's arm.

Professor McGonagall pieced together the story in her mind, taking into account the background, she easily thought it was about Slytherin elder abuse of Weasley like in the past, so she got furious and reminded herself to pay a visit to Slytherin. Snape.

"I can't believe that two prefects, who have to set an example for others, are doing this. I will take 5 points from all three of their respective houses" she said angrily, but none of them contradicted her "Each one of you will be punished, for let them learn a lesson"

"Okay" x3

"Miss Farley will go to Professor Snape, I think he will want to talk to you after knowing what happened" to which Gemma only nodded while giving me hateful looks "Clearwater will look for Flitwick and he will decide his punishment after I report what happened"

"Yes, teacher" Penelope replied.

"And Weasley" he said looking at me with some pity, since he assumed that I was being abused again, which in this case was true "Professor Sprout needs help in the greenhouses, so she will go there after the classes are over afternoon" he said knowing that it would be the lightest punishment.

"Professor..." she uttered almost stuttering "Can Penelope come with me to the infirmary?" I asked as she let a little more of my burned body show.

She widened her eyes, as she was just able to see the seriousness of my situation. She approached and checked it, it was not a serious injury, but a very annoying and painful one if we take into account the proportion of my body that had been affected.

"Yes, Mr. Weasley. Miss Clearwater, would you please take me to the hospital wing?" She told Penelope next to me.

"Okay, let's go Red" he grabbed me and pulled me out of the passageway entrance.

"You, Miss Farley, will accompany me to find her dean" the teacher told her, very dissatisfied with her and with Snape after seeing my burns.

As she was walking next to Penelope, she hit me on the head.

"Aww... what was that for?"

"You know why, you shouldn't grope a girl like that, you fucking degenerate" she said pouting angrily.

"I'm sorry, I just wanted to stop you, I didn't think she would just squeeze there… if you want you can squeeze my ass to make it up to me" I told her pitifully.

"You wish, if I squeezed you it would be something that would hurt" she said narrowing her eyes at me.

"hummm... considering you saved me I'll let you do it, just make them functional enough for the future"

"Perverted" He complained again, but I didn't bring it up anymore.

"Maybe... By the way, how did you get to me at just the right time?" I asked intrigued, since it was too much of a coincidence.

"I had come across you and decided to follow you secretly in case you wanted to miss our meeting in the library. When I saw you confront Gemma and you didn't fight back I thought it was some of those weird plans of yours, but when I saw you hurt I knew that it wasn't, so I decided to show up and help you" she stopped to take a closer look at me.

"Thank you, sorry for getting you in trouble"

"Okay... I didn't think your relationship with Slytherin was that bad, shouldn't you talk to a teacher about it? The spells they cast on you weren't deadly, but they would make you suffer a lot" she said worried as she caressed the burned part with her hand "This is wrong, hurting this beautiful face should be an offense to nature" I joke to try to comfort myself a little.

"Okay, but it will be difficult for me to get a girlfriend in the future with my current face, I lost so much" I cried falsely "I wouldn't know if someone as cute as you could even approach me with my current look" I said dramatically.

"It's not that bad, we can use a mask for that side of your face and it might work" she scoffed

"Hahaha so with a mask do I stand a chance with you?"

"If you saw each other like before yes, but now we can only be friends" he laughed.

"Well, I have things to do, classes to attend and punishments to complete. Again, I'm sorry to get you in trouble, I'll make it up to you" I said, because I already wanted to get rid of the clone because the pain was affecting me.

"You better, but first I'm going to take you to the infirmary"

"No need, this is the clone's body, I'll just dispel it and do it again and everything will be fine. I only told McGonagall because I wanted to take my time talking to you" I told her, causing her eyes to widen.

"So that's why you didn't defend yourself" he seemed to realize.

"This clone can't use magic" I explained.

"Wait…so I risked for nothing and ended up grounded for nothing" he almost yelled.

"Again I'm sorry for that, I'll make it up to you for sure... but first revenge" I laughed mischievously.

When I said that she was confused, so I took the opportunity and stretched my arm over her head and used it to lower her down to my height, so I quickly stole a kiss from her while I spanked her with the other hand. .

"This is for not standing up for me when she said she was too small and for saying that my injured face wasn't good enough for you." I complained.

It was the only thing he managed to hear, since the clone dissolved into a pool of blood that dissolved on the floor without giving him a chance to protest.

"NET!" I exclaim annoyed that I was taking advantage of her again.

On the other hand, with her original body I caressed my lips, remembering the feeling, that despite not having been done with the real body, I still had the full sensations. Maybe I'm getting too bold.

I continued with the afternoon classes and when I finished I went to the first greenhouse where I found Pomona Sprout with another girl trimming some dry leaves from a plant in her pot.

"Professor Sprout?" I called.

"Ohh Weasley, you're here now. McGonagall told me about your punishment, you shouldn't fight with your classmates" he said, but he spoke gently, "Come, here Miss Abbott will tell you what to do. I must go out for a moment , when I return you can consider your punishment finished"

When I got closer I noticed that it was actually Hannah Abbott who was with the teacher.

The teacher had left and only two of us remained in the greenhouse, something insecure in my opinion considering that there are plants here that, although weak, are a bit dangerous.

"Hello Hanna"

"Hello Red. Put on your gloves, we have to cut all the dry nettle branches and put them in this basket" she told me as she pointed to a basket with some dry twigs.

I went to get my gloves and a pair of pruning shears and I stood next to her to work on the pot that belonged to me.

"You were punished?" I wonder not shy, but not confident either.

"Yes, I fought with other Slytherins, we don't get along"

"oh"

"Why are you here? You don't seem like one to get into trouble"

"Every so often I come to help the teacher and receive some other guidance from her. I like herbology" she said somewhat happily, showing that she greenly liked her.

"Oh yeah? Interesting. Do you plan to be a Herbologist in the future?"

"Maybe" she said doubtfully.

"Then maybe I'll hire you in the future" I kept talking, since I noticed that she was getting hooked on the conversation.

"Do you need an herbalist?" I ask.

"Possibly in the future, when I have my own house. I'm one of the collectors or hoarders, so I'd probably want to have a garden with a specimen of each plant. But I'm too lazy to care for them on my own, so I'd need someone." For that, if you decide to be a herbologist, let me know and I will hire you"

"That would require a lot of money, how do you plan to pay for it?" I ask knowing that maintaining such a complete greenhouse would be an astronomical expense.

"I have my methods" I said while she with a raised hand made gallons of gold appear that fell to end up disappearing in the other hand.

"Wow" she said surprised at so many gallons.

After that, we continue with our talk until we finish with the nettles on the table and proceed to remove aconite flowers to place them in a jar.

"Susan can't wait for you to show up at our table again," he mentioned.

"Really?" I asked.

"Yes, she says that she feels comfortable by your side, even though a while ago she said that you were very strange and scary" she complained a little about her friend getting something from the security that I could see at the table Hufflepuff.

"I know, I'm great" I said to make her roll her eyes "and what do you think about me?"

"Before I also thought you were scary"

"And now?"

"I think you're nice, you're not like the other Slytherins, in attitude at least. Now I can feel a bit of what Susan was saying, around you I feel calm, it's weird... I also think you're good at this, I continually come here to practice and you are only here during the classes, but you already seem like an expert" she said, somewhat jealous when she saw me extract aconite petals.

"It's because you are a great teacher, I can see you work so I will learn a lot from it" I told her.

"You don't need to lie, I know I'm not that good" she showed low self-esteem.

"It's not a lie, I may have a great learning ability, but if I were to try to learn from someone who does their job poorly, then I would also learn it poorly. It's because you are so good at this that I can learn it well... Thank you Professor Abbott" I told her causing the girl to blush a little from embarrassment, I think she was not expected to be praised in such a way.

We kept working for a while longer, she was more open and we were able to enjoy our work together. I promised her I'd try to get back to the Hufflepuff table to see Susan, as well as see if I can take some time to come back here to work with her on the plants here.

When I was released by Professor Sprout it was already late, luckily I sent a message to Hermione letting her know that I wouldn't meet her in the library as usual.

As I walked back to my bedroom I was watching as Tenebrius hunted down the swindler. It was interesting to learn that even though he activated [Hunter Essence], since my main body didn't participate in the chase, he wasn't affected by the benefits it brought.

I finally got to my room, the stress of today was a lot. A lot of paperwork, the fight with Gemma, the chase in Knockturn Alley. I was already tired and wanted to go to sleep, I realized that with three clones the sleep meter wears out faster, something to keep in mind.

While I was getting ready to sleep I can hear something that is weird for me.

*Knock Knock knock...*

Someone was knocking lightly on the door. Nobody does that, my room is away from everyone, a room with brooms is closer than him. Besides, I'm in Slytherin, the only people here who might be interested in coming would be Bulstrode and Davis, but even they wouldn't come to my room at this hour.

If I were to be Gemma again I'm going to take all of her from her... Just raise my wand. This time I can do magic, so I can defend myself against anything that comes through that door.

"Come in" I yelled to the person who was outside the room.

When it opened and the person entered I was surprised, it wasn't Gemma. This is not what I expected...
