-1Chapter 2: Draco Malfoy.
Ehlonna woke up suddenly. Someone or something was shaking her.
" Huh? Wha'? Gerrof will ya!" She stopped yelling, and opened her eyes, only to see Hermione shaking her shoulders. " 'Mione? What's wrong? Stop shaking me! I'm Up!" Hermione stood up properly.
" Good, get up! Your late!"
" What?!" Ehlonna said loudly, sitting up strait. " Why didn't you wake me up?!"
" What do I look like? Your alarm clock? And I did, twice!" Hermione said defensively. Ehlonna climbed out of bed, ran into the bathroom, and came out 5 minutes later, her blonde wispy hair brushed, and a toothbrush hanging out of her mouth. Hermione stood with her arms folded, as Ehlonna pulled her robes on, grabbed her wand and bag, dropped her toothbrush and ran out the door with Hermione, down to breakfast in the great hall.
They entered the hall out of breath; due to the running all the way from the tower to the hall. They tried to walk in casually, but their faces were defiantly flushed. Harry and Ron looked up as they came in, waving. Ehlonna and Hermione waved back, and joined them quickly. There was four tables. One had lots of people wearing green robes, the one to the side of them was the one they were sitting on with red robes, the one behind them had blue robes and one behind them had yellow robes.
" Say, Harry, why does everyone sit at a table with the same colour robes?" Harry gave her a funny look for a moment, forgetting she was new.
" Oh, right, erm, yeah. Yellow is Hufflepuff, Blue is Ravenclaw, Red Is Gryffindor, that's us, and Green is Slytherin." He said the last house with a tinge of hatred. Ehlonna looked up, she had a strange feeling that she was being watched. Looking round, she saw a tall, and rather hot, platinum Blonde 'Slytherin' Smirking at her, than whispering to a small chubby boy next to him, Then they started to laugh. Ehlonna gave him a dirty look, before turning to Hermione.
" Who's that?" She asked, pointing to the boy.
" Oh, that's Draco Malfoy. The Snake Prince himself." She said, glaring at him.
Breakfast past quickly, and Harry, Ron, Hermione and Ehlonna made their way to their first lesson. Transfiguration. Ehlonna couldn't wait to start the lesson. She was particularly gifted in charm work. They waited outside the double oak doors.
" So, I bet you have never heard of Quidditch then." Ron said, almost down-hearted.
" What? Of course I have! I love the Tornadoes!"
" Ugh, no way! The best has got to be-" He was cut off. By the boy named Draco Malfoy
" Hello Weasel-bee."
" Shove off Malfoy." Ron muttered.
" What do we have here?" Malfoy said, rounding on Ehlonna. " You got a new friend Scar head?" He asked Harry, smirking.
" Oh very creative name Malfoy, how long did it take you to think of that name? since fourth year?" Malfoy had two Slytherins behind him that weren't looking very friendly.
" Shut it Potter. Now," He turned back round to Ehlonna, who could have died under his glare. " Who's this?" Ehlonna struck up all the courage she had, he may be hot, but he's WAY taller and scarier than me… I only come up to his chest…yup, I'm gunna die…
" Ehlonna. My name is Ehlonna." She just about said above a whisper. Just for safe keeping, she un noticeably got her wand out of her robe pocket.
" Well-" Malfoy was cut off by Professor McGonagall who had come by, opening the door. They all filed into the class room, which was rather large and had a few floating orbs by the black board. Ehlonna sat with Hermione down near the front, and Malfoy sat to the side of her.
" You know, I really think he's trying to scare me Hermione," Ehlonna whispered to her friend.
" Oh don't pay attention, he does that to everyone." Ehlonna put her wand on her desk, along with her long purple Quill and ink, and some parchment.
" Hello Class; today we are going to learn how to transfigure rats into snails," Professor McGonagall said at the front of the class. She flicked her wand as a rat appeared in front of everyone. Hermione gasped, she hated rats! They were stuck in a small box each, so they could get away.
" Now," Continued McGonagall. She had a rat on a pedestal in front of her, so the whole class could see. " Now, you wave your wand in a very small clockwise Circle, and enunciate Mangus Mutatio!" There was small flash of white light as the rat contorted into a large snail. Exclamations filled the room, everyone was eager to try it out. " Now, off you go, first person to get it right get 10 points for their house!" McGonagall sat down at her desk watching the students wave their wands. Hermione tried it before Ehlonna.
"Mangus Mutatio!" Nothing happened, Hermione looked awestruck at the prospect of not doing it first time. Ehlonna could hear Malfoy trying beside her, and failing.
"Mangus Mutatio!" Ehlonna said, waving her Dragon Claw core wand at her rat. Nothing. " Ah well; always try again!" Ehlonna said, shrugging
" Aww, what's the matter? Can't do the spell?" Malfoy asked in an imitation baby voice.
" What's it to you Draco?" Ehlonna said, putting emphasis on his first name. Malfoy blinked at the use of his first name. But shook it off.
" My name is Malfoy." He growled.
" Mmmm hmmm, I'm sure it is Draco." She said, smirking. Malfoy looked like he wanted to make a threat of some sort, but McGonagall interrupted the class. Just as she was about to speak, the bell rang, Signalling a free period for all the 5th years.
" Well, that's the end of class. Your homework is to practise the Snail Charm, and 10 points to Ravenclaw for being first!" The students filled out the class room quickly, all wanting to go and sit by the lake. It was only early October, so the weather was still warm. Harry, Ron, Hermione and Ehlonna walked into the court yard, and out to the grounds, making their way to the large beach tree.
" Oi, Scar Head!" Harry turned round at the voice of Malfoy.
" What ferret?"
" Ferret?" Ehlonna whispered to Ron.
" Long story." He said simply.
" My name is Malfoy!" He said sharply, taking of his bag and giving it to the small crowd of Slytherins' behind him. " I think it's time I taught you some manners Scar head." Malfoy drew his wand, but Ron stood between them, his wand pointed at Malfoy. So The small Chubby boy Ehlonna had saw earlier raised his wand, as did the tall lanky one beside him. Hermione raised her wand.
" Go away Malfoy. You know as well as us that you're a stinking coward and wouldn't go through with this." Hermione spat.
" How dare you talk to me, You filthy little MudBlood!" Hermione looked hurt at the name 'MudBlood'
" Hey, guys," They turned to Ehlonna. " What's with the dramatic build up?" They all looked confused as Ehlonna pulled her wand out, pointed it at Malfoy and said
" Mangus Mutatio!" There was a bright white light as Malfoy shrank down, and turned into a snail! " Oh wow! I did it!" Said Ehlonna excitedly.
" Oh My God! Ehlonna, you just turned Malfoy into a…a Snail!" Hermione gasped. The other Slytherins' looked speechless as they backed away slowly, looking a Malfoy…Well technically the Snail.
" Ehlonna, you have to put him back!" Hermione said, panicking. Ron looked at her, pulling a face.
" Do we have to Hermione?" Ron asked smiling.
" Yeah, Hermione's right Ron" Harry said solemnly. " We could all get detention for this."
" Oh, okay…" Ehlonna said, disappointed she couldn't keep it as a pet. She raised her wand again. " Declairo!" There was this sliver vapour that spun the snail upwards, it was growing all the way. Until, finally, it left a very windswept looking Malfoy in its place. He back away quickly as soon as the vapour disappeared. He turned and ran, yelling over his shoulder;
" I'll get your for this! Mark My Words!" Harry and Ron turned to Ehlonna
" That was wicked!" Ron said, patting Ehlonna on the back.
" I try." Giving Harry and Ron a sly smile. Even Hermione couldn't help her self, and eventually she broke into laughter as well.
Well, there you go! Chapter 3 will be up soon! Lol, plz plz plz review!! Oh, and here's a sneak peak at the next Chappie;
" It says here that Dumbledore is bringing back the Duelling club, because of Voldemort's return… Oh Fuck no! you have to team up with the opposite house, and the head boy and girl must pick their team and go up against each other!" Hermione said, so annoyed she crumpled the letter in her hand.
