Change of Heart and the Unexpected
A/N I am changing her hair color to reddish brown instead of jet black.
Chapter 2: Hogwarts
There we stood on platform 9 and 3 quarters; Fred and George had ran over to they're friend Lee Jordan; Ron and Harry were standing on either side of me and Ginny was standing behind me. We walked inside the Hogwarts Express and went to a compartment.
"I wonder who our Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher is this year." Ron stated as Hermione entered the compartment. She sat down next to Ron; Harry was sitting next to me because I was shaking scared.
"Hello," said Hermione smiling.
"Hey." I laughed.
"What?" She asked. Hermione and I are very close. Not as close as Ron and I, though.
"You're hair's blue." I stated as Ron and Harry had just noticed.
"Ah shut it."
"I'm not kidding, Hermione."
"Yeah, Hermione, your hair is blue." Harry said between laughs.
"It is." Is all Ron could get out. Hermione gasped and ran out.
She came back a moment later and her hair was back to normal.
"GRYFFINDOR!" The hat erupted. I took it off my head, beaming. I was the last to be sorted; I walked over to the Gryffindor table and sat down in between Ron and Harry. Harry gave me an awkward one-armed hug. Ron patted me on the back but he patted me so hard it threw my head forward; I came so close to hitting my head.
"Hey, Anna." Percy from across the table said. When I was about five, Bill and Charlie had too protect me from Percy, because Percy used to get jealous of me because I was getting so much attention, he tried to kill me up until I got about six. I could beat him up at the age of six. He and I still don't get along to well. I'm the reason he never gets dates.
"Oh bite me."
"I was being nice for once!" Percy exclaimed.
"Oh, I know, I just feel like being a brat." I stated happily. Harry and Ron laughed; Percy gave me an I-know-you-can-beat-me-up-but-I-will-kill-you look. There was a light tap on my shoulder. I looked back. My best friend that I hadn't seen in years was there. Luna Lovegood! I jumped up and hugged her.
"I missed you!" I exclaimed.
"Am I missing something?" Harry asked from beside me.
"Luna! What house were you put in?" I asked hopefully.
"Ravenclaw."
"Oh."
"I missed you to! You will love Hogwarts."
"Have you felt any Wrackspurts lately?" I asked.
"Yes! This place is infested with them!" She laughed.
"Luna!" We heard. Luna looked around.
"Well…our prefect is telling us the question to get in now. I must go! See you later!" Luna said and skipped away. I sat back down and sure enough Percy was saying the password.
"Okay, all first years, the password is 'watchwhip'. Got it?"
"Yeah, whatever," I said to Percy. I stood up, "I'm going to the Commons." I walked away.
The next morning, I awoke and went downstairs after I got dressed. Ginny met me downstairs.
"Hey."
"Hey."
"My head hurts."
"Mine too."
That is the normal conversation with us in the morning. I had thrown my hair is curls and my hair half-up half-down. No one had ever seen me with straight hair except Ron and Ginny. My hair is naturally straight and comes my hips when straight but when it's curly it comes mid-back.
"Why do you curl your hair?" Ginny asked me after breakfast.
"Because…well…I don't like my hair straight. I think it looks…unwashed."
"Yes, but you look good with straight hair." She stated. "Come on. You have Potions and you can't be late. Ha ha, I'm older. And a year ahead."
"That is not something to be proud of."
"Okay, well, here's Potions. Have fun."
"Yeah, that'll happen." I said sarcastically. I walked in the dungeon and sat down next to my cauldron. I got all my stuff for potions out and laid them on the table next to me. My wand was in my pocket. I hear Professor Snape is mean. Then, Professor Snape himself walked in. Wow, his hair is greasy. He looked at me.
"You, what's your name?" He asked and pointed at me.
"Anna." I said barely above a whisper.
"Full name!" He snapped and I jumped back.
"Annamarie Rosealara Black."
"Thank you, Miss Black. Are you any relation Sirius Black?" He snapped.
"No." I muttered.
"Are you a pureblood?"
"Yes." I said and he turned from me. He asked everyone his or her names; and then he started the lesson. I raised my hand.
"Today, we are making—What Miss Black?" He half yelled.
"Shouldn't you teach us potion-making safety?" I asked and he sneered.
"Yes, of course, don't put your hand in the hot water. I don't advise you to blow something up either." He snapped. "As I was saying, today we are making Forgetfulness Potion."
"If it's Forgetfulness Potion…how will we remember it, exactly?" I asked.
"Miss Black! If you drink it you will forget if you don't you won't!" He yelled, getting hostile. "Here are your instructions." He sat in his desk and flicked his wand at the board. The words appeared and I started mixing. I was done before anyone else. Some were still on the first ingredient, chopping it.
I raised my hand, "Professor Snape." I called and he glared up. He walked over.
"What, Miss Black?" He asked, stiffly.
"I'm finished."
"Well…put it in phial and give it to me, then, Miss Black." He walked away muttering something that sounded like, "such ignorance as her father." I glared after him. I grabbed one of my phials and put some of my potion in it. I set it on the edge of Professor Snape's desk and walked away.
I cleaned out my cauldron.
"Can I go, Professor?" I asked.
"Go. Get out of my hair." He snapped and I glared and walked out. I walked out to Gryffindor Tower because the way my schedule is, I have a free time. I went and sat down on one on the couches. There was a rustling from behind me. I jumped up and pulled my wand out. Draco Malfoy stood there.
"WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU DOING HERE?" I screamed at him.
