First of all: THANK YOU FOR READING IT
This is my very first FanFic, so please review but be nice :P
This story happens during the trip looking for Horcruxes, right after coming back from the Minister, while they're staying in the woods on the countryside. There's this OC that appears and the whole thing is about how they react to her presence and how does she try to fit in their group, to become their friend even if it's not clear if she's friend or enemy.
HOPE YOU LIKE IT :D
Freaking out consequences
Everything seemed to be as calm as usually, but it felt as though someone was outside and knew they were there. It had never happened before, they didn't know how to react, they didn't know if staying there would be safer than get going as quickly as they could.
Ron was the first one to speak, he said something that fit exactly with what they were all thinking, he slowly and calmly said "We need to get out of here now," then, not so calmly he screamed "COME ON, THOSE SCUM BAGS ARE GOING TO GET US IF WE SPEND ONE MORE F… MINUTE HERE, GET OUT OF HERE NOW!"
These words were the catalyst of a reaction none of them could control. The three of them first looked at each other and then, after an odd pause, they started to put all their stuff together, getting ready to speed out of there. In their frenetic struggle for collecting everything as fast as possible, Hermione's feet got both stepped on by Ron, this obviously followed by two screams more angry than painful. They were all too busy bumping accidentally into each other for paying enough attention while disapparating under the cloak.
Harry's foot wasn't covered, something held it but he could barely see it because of the blur everything became when apparating. He was scared though, was that an animal? No, the grip was too strong and heavy for being an animal or some other disturbing thing, there was only one option left, but he didn't even want that possibility to form in his head, anyways the intruder, he thought, was too far from them when they disappeared.
The seconds until they landed at their new destination seemed to be endless. When they were finally able to stand up and look around Harry's blood froze inside his veins. There was another person beside him and he wasn't sure whether he should talk to her or not; she didn't look like a Death Eater or any Voldemort's followers, but no one knew those days. He walked slowly towards Hermione and Ron, who were staring at the girl, one with suspicion, the other admiring her silky wavy long black hair. She was lying on the ground and looked as she had just received a Stunning charm right in the chest, it was certainly her first Apparition and she had had a somehow hard landing, it is not recommendable to do it with your head.
It had been two hours since they had Disapparated and the strange girl was still unconscious. They had agreed to stay just in case she wasn't dangerous and she was hurt, although Hermione wasn't very convinced that it was a good idea and immediately begun to cast all the protective spells she usually did keeping the girl outside the protections.
Ron didn't share the Hermione's suspicion and used that time to evaluate her appearance, even if she was lying on her stomach it looked like she wasn't ugly at all. What's more, she ought to be their age, maybe one or two years younger.
Harry couldn't help evaluating her too; he wondered what color her eyes would be or if she had been at Hogwarts, because he was quite sure he hadn't seen her before. His most important question though, was if she was enemy or friend. It didn't seem likely her being a Death Eater, she would have known how to Apparate, he thought. He also wondered what were they going to do once she was awake, were they going to hide and wait till they knew who did she support? Or maybe just go straight forward and talk to her? The last one seemed to be the most suitable option, but tying her hands first would be a reasonable precaution.
On her side, Hermione's thoughts weren't similar at all to two boys' ones. She so didn't approve the decision of staying there instead of leaving while they could; she had also noticed how they looked at her and was obviously aware that they thought she was pretty and that she didn't look like a danger. Perhaps being a girl, which means that another girl charms didn't affect her, made her the only one able to see that they weren't being sensible, that they were maybe risking their lives by giving a stranger the opportunity for spying or killing them, or even capture them. Besides all those fears, something was telling her that even if that stupid girl was friends with them she was not going to like her.
The three of them were still buried in their thinking when a bright blue eye opened on a snow-white-skinned face. Slowly the girl took conscience of her body and proceeded to sit up. She was really confused; she didn't even know where she was or how she had gotten there.
The first thing she noticed was a piercing pain in her forehead, but when she tried to raise her hand and touch the origin of the terrible headache she suffered, something stopped her; her hands were tied on her back!
It was at that moment when determined Harry decided it was enough and that they had to talk to her as to a normal person, she was definitely not dangerous. He walked towards her and untied her so she could move a little and make her body less stiff. During a second her eyes met Harry's.
What happened next was all but expected. The girl's face changed from a confused and even painful and fearful grimace to a wide and illuminated smile, which all together with the scream that came out of her mouth made Harry get scared, maybe even more than when facing an actual Death Eater. His heart was pounding loudly after that shock, he couldn't even react!
Hermione, who wasn't paying attention till she heard the scream, run out of the tent, thinking that perhaps Harry and Ron had had to already curse her. What she found instead was one of the most surprising scenes she had ever seen.
Harry was sitting (almost lying because of the sudden fright) on the ground next to the black haired girl, with a look in his face she wasn't able to decifer, and Ron was some feet to his right, looking, if that was possible, more confused than Hermione was.
"OH MY GOOOOSHHHH, YOU ARE HARRY POTTER!" the girl said, "I'VE BEEN AGES WANTING TO MEET YOU, BOY!"
The other three were puzzled then, they were all thinking she was actually mad when she said with a voice that sounded almost normal "Sorry, it was just the excitement of the moment. By the way my name is Maebh [you pronounce it "Maeve"].
