Hello, I'm Little Red and I've decided to write a fic similar to one I've written on Wattpad called Double The Fun, I hope you guys like it and for those of you who have read my other one, I hope you enjoyed it too. :3
The difference
I looked to the clock, watching as it flipped to 3am.
I rolled out of bed, wincing as I heard the shriek of the bed springs, and planted my feet on the cold wood floor.
I pulled myself up, biting my bottom lip as I felt the urge to cry out and dragged myself to the door, holding an arm around my stomach which was wrapped in bandages under my t-shirt.
As I cracked the door open and checked for any light spilling into the hall, I heard a hoot from behind.
I turned around and saw a regal looking black eagle owl with glowing ember eyes staring at me intently.
He hooted softly at me again, and stuckout his leg for me.
I rushed over with a treat to congratulate Hades on a delivery well done as Lissaalways does and untie the rolled parchment from his leg.
Dear, Alice
I realize this is late, seeing as it's August 28th, but I was wondering if you wanted to meet me at Diagon Alley tomorrow afternoon to get our school supplies.
I was also wondering how your summer has been going, since we haven't been able to meet and I haven't been able to write to you very often. Mine has been awful just so you are aware, it hashad its moments though, including being able to see my cousins, Ican't wait to tell you about them. Hopefully you reply soon.
Sincerely, Analissa
I stifled a laugh as I placed the parchment next to me on the bed.
Analissa... She hates her name... Maybe her mom is still screening her mail..
I looked back to the window to see Hades has left and so I walk over to my trunk and pull out a self inking quill and a piece of parchment to write a reply.
Dear, Lissa
I was actually planning on visiting Diagon Alley tomorrow and it would be amazing if I could meet up with you. To answer your other question, my summer has been tolerable, nothing like after first year, it's not as if you have to worry about me, I'm toughenough.
I can't wait to see you tomorrow!
-Alice
P.S. Sincewhen do you willingly call yourself Analissa, you normally even correct our professors!
I walked over to my brown Pygmy owl, brushing my fingers through her feathers as her bright yellow eyes opened and she softly hooted at me.
Athena took the letter in her beak and left through the window, off towards Dragomier manor.
I sighed and flopped back on my bed before sitting back up, a wince forming on my face as I realized how stupid that had been with my injuries. I slipped off my bed and back over to my door, where I checked again if the coast was clear.
I tiptoed out of my room and down the stairs to the kitchen, where I carefully pulled a few things that would go un-missed and silently climbed the stairs back up to my room.
I dumped the food on my bed and began to eat small bits, hiding the rest for later in a small hole in my closet.
At noon thatday I woke up and began to get ready, slipping on a pair of grey skinny jeans, a grey tank top, a black beanie, and a pair of black uggs.
I pulled my wavy ice blonde hair into a loosebraid and and applied some mascara and eyeliner in wings to my pale face.
I looked at my reflection in the mirror, blinking my dark green eyes at myself. I looked a lot healthier this summer than I had the one before, I didn't even have bags under my eyes, which was surprising with my completion being as pale as Draco's.
I stuffed my wand in my boot, snatched my messenger bag, and rushed out the front door.
I stood at thethe edge of the sidewalk, checking both waysto make sure there wasn't anyone around, and then stuck my wand hand out trying to hailthe knight bus.
I heard the screeching of tires before I caught a glimpse of the purple, triple-decker bus, Stan grinning down at me from the door way.
"Get on!" He cheered at me, a small smile making its way to my face as well as I raced up the few steps and sat down in the seat closest.
"So where to?" He asked.
"Leaky Cauldron, London." I tell him.
"Alright Ernie, you heard the lady." Stan told the driver. "Leaky Cauldron, stat."
The bus went into full drive, as I held onto my seat, making it look as if I was sitting in my spot effortlessly like Stand as he stood to my right, not jerking anywhere near as much as I was.
Finally after about a million sharp turns and close calls the bus comes to an abrupt stop and I stand up on shaky legs to get off. I give Stan and Ernie a smile before I get off.
I walk through the Leaky Cauldron and into Diagon Alley before I abruptly stop, noticing a girl with long black hair, a boy with ice blonde hair as vibrantlycoloured as mine, if not more, and another girl with her golden brown hair in a high
/ponytail.
I run over to them with a small shriek and jump into the first girls open arms.
"Oh Alice." Lissa teased me as I pulled back from our hug and got assaulted by hugs from the two remaining Slytherin's by my side.
"How come we didn't get any letters from you all summer?" Pansy asked, immediately interrogating me.
"My mother wouldn't allow Athena out of her cage until a couple of days ago, so I couldn't answer your letters until then." I told her, they all knew about my background and for the most part didn't bring it up.
"That sucks." Lissa told me.
"Yeah, it does." I said with a sigh before a smirk took over my features. "But so does signing a letter with your full name."
"Damn it." She huffed. "I was hoping youwouldn't pay any attention to that."
"I'm not a Slytherin for nothing Lis." I tell her with another smirk.
"You realize your smirk screams Malfoy, right?" Pansy teased.
"I taught her everything she knows." Draco said, holding his hand up for a high five, which I granted.
"We should get shopping if we want to get everything and have some time to hang out before I have to get back home." Lissa told us.
"Your mother teaching you over the summer again?" I ask sympathetically.
She nodded with a grimace.
"Let's get started then!"I cheered.
