A/N: Alright, so this is kinda my first fic. I mean I've started a few before, but they all kind of sucked. But this one just came to me, so I hope you guys like it
Disclaimer: Unfortunately I do not own Harry Potter. That would be JK Rowling. Not me.
Chapter 1
"Your kidding me right?"
"No I am not kidding you. I am sorry Teddy, but this is over. You have been acting
differently lately, and I know it is because of your little friend, Abia. We all know she has a thing for you, and I am starting to get think that the feeling is mutual. I am sorry Ted, but this is just not going to work," she said to me.
I just stood there, awestruck. This was ridiculous. First of all, I
didn't even like the girl that just dumped me. She was a total slut. I mean, I'm not trying to be mean or anything, but that's the only reason I was even with her. She was totally dim, but she was pretty and easy. Either way, I couldn't believe she broke up with me. I was planning on breaking up with her soon enough. I was the hottest, most popular guy in school! What was her problem? "Whatever," I thought. "Who needs her." Oh, and the other thing, I totally am not into Abia. She is literally my best friend. She's really smart, unlike Rae, my girl-well apparently ex girlfriend now. I can talk to her about anything and she is always helping me with my schoolwork.
Abia and I are both in Ravenclaw, but I am not really sure how I ended up here. I am not
exactly the most magical wand in Ollivander's. I thought for sure I would be in Gryffindor, like my father, who died just after I was born. He was a noble man. He died in war actually. So did my mother. I am really proud of that, though. Anyway, I am a Ravenclaw. This bummed me out for a while in my first year, but I got used to it.
But I do not have a thing for Abia at all. I mean she's pretty and nice and stuff, but I
just can't imagine liking her that way. Just too weird. I love her like a sister, and that's the way it's going to be.
I strolled up to the Ravenclaw house. I was outside. It was a really nice day out. It was
springtime, my favorite time of the year. The Ravenclaw house was on the west side of the building, on the fifth floor. It was a bit of a pain, sometimes, walking all the way up there just to get to my room, especially when the stairs wouldn't stop moving.
I wondered what I was going to tell everyone, about what happened with Rae. I obviously
couldn't tell them the truth. I'll just tell them I dumped her, I figured. Rae was in Hufflepuff. Not that it really mattered. I would go for anyone really, as long as they were decent. Hell, I even dated a Slytherin for about two seconds.
I approached the eagle knocker. I always had trouble with these questions, because, as I
said before, I wasn't the brightest.
Human I am, but person I'm not
You'll know I am here, but I'll never be caught
Ugh, this was a hard one. I just sat there and thought, and waited, and then thought some
more. Why was no one coming! It had to have been at least twenty minutes before Abia walked up and saw me there.
"Ted? What are you doing on the floor? Let me guess, you couldn't figure out the riddle
again?" She said in her high pitched, fairy like voice. That was one of my favorite qualities about her, her voice. Though she was a beautiful girl, with wavy, jet black hair, ivory skin, and flashing hazel eyes, I loved her voice more than anything. It did not suit her at all. It sounded like it belonged to an anorexic bleach blond girl. But she was the opposite of that. She wasn't exactly goth, but she looked the part. She did not wear dark clothing or anything. As a matter of fact, she was one of the most eccentric people I knew. She wore a lot of yellows and greens. She was a lot like Luna Lovegood, whom I had met through my godfather, Harry Potter.
"That would be correct…" I responded, embarrassed. Another reason I did not like the
Ravenclaw house. Everyone was much smarter than me. Abia laughed and looked at the knocker
Human I am, but person I'm not
You'll know I am here, but I'll never be caught
"Hmm…" She thought for a moment. "A ghost," she said to the eagle. It nodded, pleased with
her, and opened us up to the common room.
I loved our common room. It was a wide, circular room. It was very airy and, naturally,
decorated with our house colors of blue and bronze. There are bookshelves and tables and comfortable chairs all over. There was a warm fireplace right in the front center. My favorite chair was the one right in front of the fire. It was deep blue with bronze diamonds. I loved the way it sunk in when you sat down. It felt like you were sitting on a cloud. Being in my fifth year, I knew all of the best places in the castle.
"So what were you doing, roaming the grounds today?" Abia asked me.
"Rae and I broke up," I told her. I knew I would have to tell her the truth. According to
her I got very cocky when I was lying, so I would have to tell her the truth. "She dumped me."
"No way, she actually dumped you? Bold move, for a Hufflepuff." Abia was not too fond of
Hufflepuff house, Rae and her friends in particular. She was not too fond of any of the other houses, to be honest. She was a Ravenclaw through and through.
"Look, don't tell anybody, okay? I was planning on just telling everyone I was getting
tired of her, but I apparently can't lie to you."
"Very true. Okay, fine. Who would I tell anyways? I don't really like anyone here, besides
you and Jett." Jett was my other best mate. He was my wingman, and did the things with me that I couldn't do with Abia. The three of us had been friends since our first days at Hogwarts. We had shared a compartment on the Express.
"Oh I don't know. I thought you might tell that Kaleb fellow. You fancy him now don't
you?" I knew this wasn't a bit true, but that was how me and Abia's relationship worked. We made fun of each other. It worked for us.
"You are an ass. You know I cant stand Kaleb. He is a Gryffindor, for God's sake."
"I am fully aware of his house, but I saw the way you were cozying up to him in Charms the
other day. Even old Flitwick noticed." I chuckled at this. Abia and Kaleb had been pared up to practice in charms the other day and Flitwick had called them out for bickering too much.
"You very well know that Kaleb is as dull and dumb as a hippogriff, and he was being an
idiot the other day in charms. Some people just do not know how to pronounce spells."
"Sure, we can say that's what happened," I said tauntingly. I knew how much this was
annoying her. I loved it.
"You, Teddy Lupin, are an idiot."
"Abia McDowell, we all know that is true." With that I went upstairs to my dormitory,
hoping to find Jett. As much as I enjoyed bickering with Abia, it started to get boring after a few go's. Luckily, Jett was up there drawing on his notepad. That was another thing about our trio. Jett drew, Abia took pictures, and I wrote. We went together perfectly, almost like puzzle pieces.
"What have you got there mate?" Jett was really private, and hated to share his work. He
was amazing though. I ran over to him an snatched the book out of his hand.
"Come on, man. Give that back," he pleaded. I looked at what he had been drawing. It was
some sort of wolf. A werewolf, I think. The drawing was great, but I hated werewolves. It was like they brought up some bad feeling in the back of my mind. They just made me generally uncomfortable. The same with full moons. It was weird, I had no idea what it was about.
"I had a dream about them, last night," Jett said boldly. He was private with his artwork,
but that was about it. He was probably one of the loudest, most bold people I knew. Very self centered, too. He thought he was the most handsome bloke out there. The ladies seemed to thing so too. He had dark brown hair, pale skin and baby blue eyes. The girls ate that crap up. He and I together were the best in our year with the ladies, to be blunt. We both almost always had girlfriends, though they were normally the same type: blond, dim and easy. Right now he was seeing some chick called Sarafina. She was friends with Rae. I still couldn't believe she dumped me. "It was very real. Creepy, huh?" he asked, interrupting my train of thought. Sometimes I think I think too much for my own good.
"I don't like werewolves. They freak me out."
"Ah, well, its just a drawing mate. Don't think too much on it."
"I'll try not to."
"So Rae dumped you? That sucks man." Leave it to Sarafina to go and tell the whole damn
world about it.
"Yeah, its whatever I didn't even like her anyway. Just another one to check off the list."
With this I laid down on my bed. I hadn't gotten much sleep the night before. I couldn't call asleep so I went for a stroll. But now I was really tired. "Maybe I should take a nap," I thought, just before drifting off into a deep sleep.
