The next morning came bright and early. The atmosphere in the Great Hall was a happy one. Friends who hadn't seen each other in a while were now talking ecstatically to one another. Harry Potter and his friends were comparing timetables. Harry found he had Defence Against the Dark Arts that day with his friends Ron and Hermione.
"We have that new teacher, Umbridge." Said Hermione as she buttered some toast. Ron was too busy eating sausages to care about what was happening.
Harry on the other hand felt his stomach tighten. He didn't want to see that Umbridge woman again. Something about her made his skin crawl and she had been at his hearing over the summer. He had the feeling she didn't like him or Dumbledore very much.
At that moment the Addams children walked into the Great Hall. They were as beautiful as on the night and the Hall instantly became quieter as they entered. Pugsley's eyes swept over the Ravenclaw table and inside his body something fell as he noticed that one young lady wasn't at breakfast. His sister Wednesday noticed this.
"Come now brother," she said quietly, "she'll appear. You must focus on our first task this morning. Do you see him?" she stopped as her brother nodded and pointed to Harry Potter. Everyone's eyes looked between the three teenagers and back again.
"Harry Potter," said Wednesday as she walked up to the table. Harry stood nervously. "My you have grown up, haven't you? You do look so much like James, except for the eyes of course."
"You knew my parents?" asked Harry confused. He'd never heard of the Addams's and these children looked his age, didn't they?
"Not directly." Said Wednesday laughing, her laugh was high and cold. Oddly familiar. "But we Addams's now of the Potter's. You're father was a distant relation. It's too bad we didn't get to you in time. Mother would have adored you, and Pubert's always looking for an extra play thing." The girl smiled and began laughing again.
"Relation?" asked Harry, stuttering over the words slightly. Some around him shuffled away slightly.
"Oh yes, and we Addams's are very devoted to family. You have transfiguration first correct." Harry nodded dumbly. "Good then you're in Pugsley's class; I'll see you both in Care of Magical Creatures."
With that she walked away towards the Slytherin Table who parted for her to sit. They were very silent, even Draco Malfoy new it was best to not make him, her enemy. The Hall was silent for what felt like forever until a young girl entered the room. Luna Lovegood walked in without noticing the staring she got. Instantly she was approached by a young boy.
"Miss Lovegood," said Pugsley bowing slightly. Luna stopped and looked up at him. "I was hoping you would have breakfast with me tonight, if that is alright?" he looked worried that she would answer no but Luna's face shone with happiness.
"Of course Mr. Addams I would love to eat breakfast with you." Pugsley smiled his wolfish grin again and then held out his arm. Luna took it and with ease he walked her to the Gryffindor table. They sat at the end and everyone else moved down so they wouldn't be disturbed. The room slowly began to heat up again and not long after laughter filled the morning Hall until the first bell went. After that the room cleared quite quickly. Pugsley walked Luna to class. They hadn't spoken during breakfast and Pugsley worried he had scared her by not thinking up some conversation.
Luna on the other hand wasn't phased at all. She liked eating in silence. She liked Pugsley Addams, he was kind and hadn't made fun of her yet. There was something wrong with him she could tell, when he was eating and lost in thought Luna believed she could see something stirring in his eyes and face but he always got rid of it before she was certain. He was nice, but he was broken. Like her.
"I'm sorry." he said quietly as they reached her room, the students waiting outside instantly freezing when they saw them.
"For what?" she asked shocked.
"For scaring you. I should have spoken more during breakfast, I just couldn't think of the right things to say." He looked down sheepishly. He had liked just watching her eat and be near him. However that wasn't something someone told a person they had just met.
"Don't apologise. I enjoyed the silence, and besides I didn't try to start up a conversation either." She was smiling and Pugsley's fears instantly vanished.
"Will I see you at lunch?" he asked
"If you would like too." She answered. No-one had ever wanted to spend so much time with her before.
"I will see you soon then." He was smiling and fought the urge to kiss her hand as he left.
Luna felt dazed. Someone liked her, actually liked her! She was slightly confused as to why. She wouldn't think of herself as pretty or anything and she wasn't very smart. She was a 'Loony' as many people liked telling her.
"Hey Loony Lovegood!" sneered a rat faced Slytherin boy, "Glad you found a new freak to hang out with!" he laughed and so did his friends. Luna sighed, yes she was a freak. The boy's laughing stopped.
"I do not appreciate the offence you show to Luna." Wednesday Addams said, a knife in her hand. The blade was placed delicately on the boy's throat. He whimpered. "And I do NOT condone any attack on my brother." The boy whimpered again.
"H-hey come on." Said an ugly girl next him, "He was only joking!" Pansy Parkinson was looking towards Draco Malfoy with fear. She was head over heels for him, but he never even gave her any notice. Draco nodded fearfully looking at Wednesday with a mixture of terror and rage.
"We Addams's protect our family, Miss. Parkinson." Pansy jumped at Wednesday knowing her name. "Both you and Mr. Malfoy here would be wise to remember that." Both Slytherin's nodded.
Slowly Wednesday withdrew the knife and turned towads Luna.
"Hello again Luna."
"Hello Wednesday. You have Defence now?" Luna asked.
"Yes. It seems this year we will be sharing a class, as will the Gryffindor and Hufflepuffs." Wednesday smiled and Luna without thinking smiled back. Wednesday's eyes were crimson red again, only this time Luna noticed they seemed to be darker than when she first met her.
"Enter!" yelled a frilly voice from inside the classroom.
Wednesday motioned for Luna to go first and together they entered the classroom.
P.S I know Wednesday and Pugsley aren't in-human in the movies but I thought it would be fun to do. Can you guess what they are though? And yes I know some ideas of what they are, are taken from other books but it was the easiest thing to do, and therefore NO COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT INTENDED!
P.P.S I know I want Luna and Pugsley to get together, as that has already been made clear. However who should Wednesday get together with. Remeber in the 5th book so no Viktor pairing please.
Remember to review and send me your pairings thanks!
