Its ok, its ok, its ok to be nervous at a new school...that your grandparents made you come here. Barrett thought as she was about to open the smooth brown doors of the Dinning Hall.
Why did they make me come here? I had plenty of friends back home...oh yeah. The accident. When my parents...in the car...drunk driver... all gone. All alone. Now I live with my grandparents who live closer to the school. They're wizards too. But, why am I so worried? She pondered.
She pushed open the doors and slipped in the room. She walked with long strides and ran her hand through her short golden hair. Barrett didn't notice the pair of grey eyes fallow her across the room. She fixed her green tie and sat at the end of the Slytherin table. She had half a turkey sandwich on her plate. She took a sip of pumpkin juice and saw her new owl Caraway swoop in and drop a letter by her plate. Caraway sat by her for a long time nibbling on a slice of turkey. Barrett opened the letter, it read...
Dear Barrett,
I hope you are having fun time and meeting new friends.
Love, Grandpa and Grandma
They were never good at writing letters. Oh well. What are you gonna do? She finished her sandwich and ate a green apple and stroked Caraway, she didn't notice a sassy brunet taking a seat in front of her.
"So new kid, why did you come here in the middle of the year like this?" The girl asked.
"Oh," Barrett whispered. "Well, I used to go somewhere else but..." Barrett didn't want to talk about it but she had to suck it up. "About a week ago, my parents died in a car crash."
"Oh, I-I'm sorry. Really. My name is Pansy. Whats yours?" Pansy asked.
"My name is Barrett. Nice to meet you Pansy."
"So," Pansy Began,"What year are you?"
Barrett looked surprised at the comment. "A fifth year like you."
"Oh! I thought you were a second year because you were so short!"
"Ha, well yeah, I guess I am kinda short."
A boy with silver white hair and grey eyes was trying to listen on the conversation.
"Sorry I was kinda rude saying you were so short" Pansy said.
"Oh its fine." Barrett said.
Soon the bell rang and Barrett and Pansy walked to class together fallowed by the silver haired boy.
Pansy and Barrett both had Potions together. They had to do a project for the class.
"Now," Said Professor Snape, "You will have assigned partners, and if you don't like your partners. Suck it up."
Snape read the napes aloud. Soon their were only two people left. "Barrett Cardinals and Draco Malfoy." Barrett looked around and saw a silver haired boy get up and sit next to her. The boy was very cute, he had grey eyes and silver blond short hair. So they got started on their project.
"Hi." Barrett whispered.
"Hello." Draco said.
"So what do you want us to do for our project?" Barrett asked kindly.
"I was thinking of something a little difficult like a brew of Living Death." Draco suggested.
"Sure!" Barrett cheered.
Draco just stared at the girl. Why on earth is this girl in Slytherin? She's much to nice. Whats up with her? She looks so sad but acts like its the best day ever.
Soon class was out and Barrett was walking by a girl with brown curly-ish hair.
"Hi!" Barrett said.
"Hi?" The girl said.
"My name is Barrett. Whats yours?"
"My name is Hermione."
"Thats a very pretty name. What class do you have next I have charms."
"Me too." Hermione said eyeing the girl.
"Would you like to walk with me?" She said smiling.
"Sure."
They walked by a few large boys. One of them said "Hows it going Mudblood?" He spat.
Hermione flinched.
Barrett stopped in her tracks. She was about to explode and explode she did.
"WHAT THE HELL? WHY THE HELL WOULD YOU SAY SOMETHING LIKE THAT! THAT IS THE MOST AWEFUL THING TO SAY THO SOMEONE! WHY THE HELL WOULD YOU CARE IN THE FIRST PLACE? I MEAN SHE IS PERFACTLY NORMAL! AT LEAST SHE DOSENT SMELL LIKE A HIPOGRIFS HINDQUARTERS! WHAT THE HELL MAN? WHAT THE FREKIN HELL?"
Soon Barrett jumped up in the air and clobbered one of the boys. She sent two stupefy spells that hit one of them. The other one grabbed Barrett and shoved her into the brick wall and punched her in the stomach. Hermione ran dow the hall and ran into Draco.
"M-Malfoy! Barrett is hurt! Please help!" She sputtered.
They ran down the hall and found Barrett covered in blood.
"What the hell happened?" Draco yelled.
"I-I had too." Barrett whispered then blacked out.
He looked at Hermione. "Well, some guy called me a Mudblood and she flipped out and beat one but the other threw her agents the wall and punched her in the stomach."
Now I understand why she's in Slytherin. Draco thought.
Draco and Hermione carried Barrett to the nurse.
"Now, how did this happen?" Asked the nurse.
"Oh uh. Well she got into a fight and she was slammed agents a wall and punched in the stomach." Draco explained.
"Huummm." The nurse sighed.
Draco and Hermione missed most of class staying with Barrett.
"So, is she going to be okay?" Hermione asked.
"She should be okay, but she is still not contuse. When she was slammed into the wall she must have hit her head." Said the nurse.
"Will it be okay, if I stay with her? Hermione you can go to dinner. So can you. I'll stay with her." Draco said.
"Um, okay." Hermione said.
"Alright." The nurse said.
Hermione and the nurse left Draco and Barrett alone. Soon after Draco looked at Barrett. Her short golden hair wrapped around her face. She looked sad. Draco didn't know anything about the girl, but she still looked sad. Barrett stirred a little and turned onto her stomach and laid her head on her arms. Draco felt odd around her. Draco walked away to go to the bathroom.
"N-no. P-pplease...Du-don't leave me. I-I don't want to be-e a-alone again." Barrett murmured. Tears fell on her arms and she monad softly.
"I won't go. I will never leave you all alone." Draco whispered.
