Chapter 3: Questions From Random Girls
23/9/96
Suddenly there was a girl on top of me.
It was like I fell right into a bad muggle teen movie that Aaron, Alexander and me used to watch when we were bored in 4th year.
"Uh-uh sorry" she stuttered while attempting to get up. I followed her lead.
Right as we had just gotten up she slipped on one of her pink fluffy slippers and almost tackled me down again. Luckily I was there to to catch her before that happened.
"Thanks" she said
I finally got to get a good look at the girl who tackled me. She was short, if I had to guess about 5'3. Her hair was blonde, very curly and falling out of a messy bun. She also had on sheep pajamas. And her eyes were a pretty brown colour.
"Uh, no problem" I said awkwardly as I let her stand up on her own.
"My names Stella" she said holding up her hand for me to shake.
Her hands we're very delicate. She had painted her nails a bright yellow, an odd contrast for her porcelin skin.
"I'm Dalen"I finally answered, after looking at her hands for an uncomfortable amount of time.
"That's a nice name" she commented while looking around the old abandoned classroom that I had stumbled upon last year.
"Do you come here often?" she asked while making herself comfortable in one of the old leather chairs.
"Pretty much everyday, unless I have homework then I go to the library."
"How did you find this wonderful place?" she questioned while sliding her finger across one of the dust-infested side tables.
"Hey it's pretty nice in here. I happen to find it quite cozy" I defended.
"Whatever you say" she smiled.
Her smile was nice.
"You didn't answer my question" Stella said while fixing her messy bun, that had come out when we fell into each other.
"I didn't know I was obligated to answer questions from random girls who tackle me" I replied smoothly.
She laughed.
"Alright, well why don't you ask me a question to make up for the 2 qusetions I asked you."Stella offered.
"Sure" I replied "Why were you sprinting into an abandoned classroom after curfew?" I asked.
"Well, I forgot my potions textbook in the potions classroom and my dumbass friend didn't bother to tell me until curfew had begun. I obviously didn't want anymore shit from Snape than ii already got, so I ran down here to get it; until I saw Mrs. Norris, where I then proceeded to sprint into this classroom tackling you in the process." she replied.
"Interesting" I commented. "You've had quite a night I suppose"
"You could definitely say that again" she laughed.
I smiled. Her laugh was really cute and almost contagious. I wasn't much of a "falling on the floor with laughter" kind of person. You were lucky if you could make me smile. Only a few people have done it. These people inclue; Aaron,Alexander, Draco when he fell off a chair and I guess Stella now.
"Yeah Snape is an asshole" I commented "Good thing we have Professor Slughorn this year"
"Tell me about it" she murmered "One time I was getting up to ask my friend Susan for some extra goosegrass for the potion we were making, and he took 20 points away from my house for "disturbing the other students, can you believe that?" Stella ranted.
"I know" I replied "I have no idea what's up his ass but I hope someone takes it out for him before he burns down the school" I agreed.
"You're funny" she commented, and not in a sarcastic manner like Draco usually does when I make a remark during one of his "speeches".
"Thanks?" I said unsurely.
"No I'm serious. I only know one other pesron who can make me laugh like you do, and it's my dumbass friend named Megan"
"You do talk very highly of her" I smirked.
"She's an amazing person with a small brain" Stella replied.
Soon enough we were talking about books, interests, teachers (specifically Snape) and school.
Before I knew it it was 1 am and Stella was dozing off in one of those comfortable leather chairs we were sitting in.
"Hey" I whispered "Get up" I said moving out of my chair and gently tapping her arm.
"Mmm" she grunted, immediatley openning her eyes.
"Shit. It's like 4 am or something, right?" she asked.
"Close. 1 am" I replied.
"Thats not close at all"
"I know I just wanted to make you feel better" I smirked.
"Ha ha" replied Stella sarcastically.
"Either way we should probably go" I said
"Yeah... yeah we should" she agreed.
I think she was still half asleep.
"Well it was nice meeting you Stella" I said politely like my grandmother taught me.
"You too Dalen" she smiled.
"You should sneak up first so Filch find both of us if we're caught" I suggested.
"Good idea"
"Goodbye then" she said once she was at the door.
"Goodbye" I replied.
And she was gone.
I sucessfully made it back to the Hufflepuff common room, and tip toed up to my dorm room that I shared with my 3 best friends; Megan Jones, Susan Bones and Hannah Abbot.
"You were out for a while" Megan commented while pretending to read a book, which she was holding upside down. She had also thrown on Hannah's reading glasses. I could tell that she was pretending to be a strict mother waiting for her child to come home after a party. She wasn't doing a very good job.
"I didn't know you could read upside down!" I said in a fake surprised voice.
Megan rolled her eyes while turning the book around. "I hope you got your textbook then, Stella" replied Megan. "I stayed up until 1 am to make that joke and it was ruined because it took you like 3 hours to get a textbook and I was tired so I grabbed the book upside down."
"Shit. I forgot my textbook" I thought. "Of course I did Megan, I'm not stupid" I lied.
I guess I'll just have to grab it during my free period.
Megan was half asleep already and probably didn't listen to my lie. So being the Hufflepuff that I am, I grabbed my book that she was pretending to read and put Susan's reading glasses back in their case.
"Thanks foro staying up for me, Meg" I whispered. She tried to pull it off as a joke but I knew she was worried that I got caught and stayed up for me for that reason. Even though me and her liked to complain about being Hufflepuffs because of how underrated and nice they were, we were definitely Hufflepuffs.
"Night Stell" Megan murmered. And the next thing I heard were soft snores.
I shut off her sidetable light and climbed into bed.
I fell asleep with thoughts about a tall, sarcastic boy with dark hair.
