A/N: Okay I know my last story was really short but I think they're all going to be like that from now on, because in my first one I had to do Andrea arriving at Hogwarts, and everything. Now I'm just doing shorter mysteries, like the one with Ionia. Okay, so here's my next story, and I couldn't think of a title (again) so I just made this one. And if anyone has any better ideas for a title, please let me know. And I'm still waiting for someone to give me a good crossover idea. If I like it, I will do it, and if I come pu with one on my own I will do that, but I don't think I will.
School was going well for Andrea. She was getting along with her teachers and classmates (especially her best friends Ron, Hermione, Harry, and Crow), well, not really Snape, but he wasn't giving her any more trouble like he had at the beginning of the year- Dumbledore had seen to that. Right now, Andrea was content to do nothing but sit in the common room doing homework, chatting with her friends, and spending precious free time to herself. She had just had a very exhausting few montsh, and was quite ready for rest and relaxation. Unfortunately, this was not going to last too long.
Voldemort was on the loose. Harry Potter had proved it a year before Andrea had come, and he had still not been captured. There had been plenty of issues with him at Voldemort recently, and Andrea had been involved in several of them. Her latest had been Ionia, a young first year girl who Andrea had befriended and then helped get her out of a dangerous situation. Andrea smiled when she thought of the girl. She hoped she was doing better. Her mother had severely abused her, and she was now only living with her father and her seven sisters Doria, Phrygia, Lydia, Mixolydia, Aeolia, and Locria. Her father seemed to treat her well, but sometimes Andrea worried that he was not attentive because, after all, he had not noticed the telltale signs that his wife was working for the Drak Lord. Andrea sighed. Oh well, at least if I'm right her sisters can take care of her. Aeolia was in her grade, and she seemed nice enough.
Andrea was finished with her homework and was sort of bored. Ron, Crow and Harry were playing Quiddich outside and Hermione was watching. Andrea went outside too.
"Hi you gusy," she said.
"Hi, Andrea!" said Hermione, moving over so she could sit down. The boys were to enraptured in their amusement to observe that Andrea had entered. Hermione smiled. "They've been playing for ages," she said. "And none of them have gotten bored yet!"
Andrea grinned. "They'll get tired soon and come inside. Of course, they'll be out again tomorrow. Have you ever thought about joining them?"
"No." Said Hermione. "It doesn't look that fun to me. But you should go!"
"Well, okay!" said Andrea, laughing. "If they'll let me! They look really involved in the game. She strode up to the tangle of boys. "Hey you guys, can I join in?"
"Sure!" said Harry, grinning. "It'll be more fun with four!" Andrea zoomed around with them on brooms for a while. She had never played before, but surprisingly she was able to score many goals.
"Wow! Maybe you should join the team or something!" said Harry.
"I'm not that good!" protested Andre.
"Yeah, but if you join we can make you better. I think you should practice more. Who knows how good you could be!" suggested Ron.
Andrea laughed, but secretly she was thinking about taking them up on their offer. She liked Qudditch, more than she thought she would.
Pretty soon the four of them were just having a quiet game of catch using Harry's Quiddich ball. Even Hermione joine din.
"So how's Ionia doing?" said Harry as he threw his ball to Andrea. She caught it deftly.
"Good." She said. "I talked to her in the hallway yesterday. She seems happier and less shy."
"You did a good thing, Andrea," Hermione said. "Other people may not recognize that, but you are good at helping and giving advice to other people." Andrea smiled.
Later they went inside, and were walking up to the common room when suddenly someone rounded the corner at a very fast pace and ran right into Andrea.
"Ow!" she cried as she hit the ground. Then she noticed that the girl who had bumped into her was on the ground too. "Are you okay?"
"Yes!" she growled. "Be more careful next time! You made me drop my books!"
Andrea was confused. "But you were the one running, not me… anyway, let me help you pick you stuff up."
"I don't need your help!" yelled the girl. "And it's not my fault you didn't get out of the way fast enough!"
"Hey, don't yell at Andrea like that!" said Harry protectively. "She didn't do anything to you and she's right, you shouldn't be running in the halls!"
"I'll run if I want to!" she yelled. "And I'll yell at stupid clumsy people if I wasn to, too! Get out of my way!" she pushed past them and kept running down the hallway.
"What a rude girl!" said Hermione. Ron, Crow, and Harry agreed, but Andrea wasn't listening. She was watching the girl disappear down the hall.
"Why do you think she was so mean?' she asked thoughtfully.
"Because she's a jerk!" said Crow. "Now come on, we'd better get going. It's almost ten."
"Okay," said Andrea reluctantly, but she was still thinking of the girl. She looked familiar to Andrea. And she couldn't figure out why.
A/N: Okay, I'll write more soon, hopfully. Thank you to anybody who has given me nice reviews, especially Niko's Lover and Ariel-chan. Thank you1
