Chapter 18: Part Two
"ShitshitshitshitFUCKSHIT" She exclaimed loudly, blurring the words together so that they were indistinguishable.
"What?" Osanna screeched, peering around, pondering if Ivy had seen something she had not.
"I was supposed TO TELL DRACO GOODBYE!" Ivy shrieked, she kicked one of her knee-high boots across the floor to vent her anger.
Osanna allowed the corners of her full lips to curve into something that was both a smirk and smile all at once, she looked rather bemused.
"Oh, that's right, is that what has you upset?"
"YES" Ivy responded without thinking, she then stopped and blinked again...where in THE HELL had that came from? "I mean, I promised him, it was rather rude you know...."
"Nice save" Hosanna thought to herself. "But i'm not buying it". "Well, send him a owl from the Ministry tomorrow, I'm sure he will understand, he took off in quite a rush."
Ivy's brows quirked.
"After Potter I would think." Osanna said.
Ivy merely nodded. "Well wait, what about YOU and..... Snapey-Poo?"
Osanna nearly choked, she had so HOPED Ivy would forget that, she had herself hardly though of anything else however. "I...I have no idea" she said, she was being honest after all; she really had no idea what was going on.
Ivy chuckled and lit two cigarettes, passing one to Osanna. "I am willing to bet my Christmas bonus that he sent the other two gifts."
Osanna nodded slowly, there was no point in denying it, and it most certainly looked that way.
"Do you really think so?" she asked, carefully folding one of her velvet cloaks.
Ivy was about to answer when there was a sharp rap on the door. Ivy had forgotten about the food and was about to open the door yelling when she heard a voice.
"ROOM SERVICE"
"Oh" she muttered as she made her way to the door. A young man, perhaps 17 or 18 smiled and wheeled the food in. One look at Osanna however and he nearly tripped over his own feet. He just stood there, jaw hanging open.
"Oh no NOT THIS AGAIN" Ivy hissed. She quirked a brow at Osanna and placed her hands square on the young man's back.
"Out! OUT! Move along! NOTHING TO SEE HERE!"
She pushed him out the door; tucking a twenty in his shirt pocket...he reluctantly hung around in the doorway for a moment, still eyeing Osanna.
"OUT!" Ivy screamed, pointing her cane at him.
That got his attention and he took his cart and quickly made his way down the hall.
Ivy slammed the door and rolled her eyes.
"The attention you get is un-healthy I swear! Especially around muggles!"
Osanna shrugged and made a face. "Really now Ivy you get your fair share of it as well!"
"Oh.... yes.... I SCARE people" Ivy countered lifting the lid to the food.
"Apparently you don�t scare Draco, I think he is positively enchanted with you!"
Back at Hogwart's Snape was miserable. He had finally come to the conclusion that he had lost the package, he had searched nearly everywhere, the only place he had NOT checked was their cottage, and since he had to feed George, he wasn�t going to have a choice. With a rather annoyed, desperate sigh he got up from his quarters, and took the box of Mokes and licorice whips in one hand. "Well, this should be amusing� he thought as he began to cross the school grounds, no Osanna around for Christmas...oh yes, Snape was miserable indeed.
