Not All-There

Chapter 3

"Oh, that's Slytherin…" I heard her mumble it in a tone that sounded either like she didn't care or didn't realize she said it before she stumbled down the 3 steps and towards the table, sitting at the emptiest part.

A few more seconds of silence followed, but slowly conversations began to build up again, and in a few minutes everyone was going on like nothing weird had ever happened. However, even though everyone was talking normally, my ears still caught hold of some of my fellow Slytherins talking about the new girl in none-to-nice ways.

Pansy, in all her ear-shattering glory, decided it was time to push our newest Slytherin and see what reactions she got from her.

"Hey. Hey! Hey, you, new girl!" She continued on, but realizing that the blonde-haired girl wasn't going to respond, she grabbed a cookie and chunked it, hitting the girl in the neck, finally causing her to look around and notice Pansy trying to get her attention.

"Hey, what's your name girl?"

It was times like this when I would always wonder what happened between our ancestors that made females hate each other so.

"No, my name is not 'girl'. I'll tell you my real name if you tell me yours."

Pansy, and her, oh what-do-you-call-them group? Gang? Click? Click, yeah I think that's it. Pansy and her clique of girls got up and stop on the side of the table I was on, placing them opposite of the girl.

"I'm Pansy Parkinson. So who're you?"

She said that name with such authority and pride I wanted to hit her, I was surprised the new girl didn't.

"Ok, hello Pansy, I'm Lin." She jabbed her hand out in a way to 'shake hands' as most muggle men do, Pansy and her clique just laughed at her.

"Lin? Lin, Lin, Lin! She belongs in a bin! Oh, Lin, Lin, Lin, where's your rubbish bin!" How they came up with a rhyme that clever I'll never know…

"Lin! Lin what? Don't you have a last name? Maybe we could call you 'Bin' instead of Lin, cause that's where your name belongs, in a rubbish bin!"

"I don't get it"

"You don't get it?!" Pansy and her gang laughed as if it were the funniest thing in the world, which was quite quickly bringing back my headache in full force.

"Yeah, I don't get it. Is it supposed to be funny? Or mean? Either way it's quite pathetic. What a shame, you looked like a smart girl for a moment, guess I was wrong…"

Go Lin.

With that final word she got up and walked out of the Great Hall, leaving Pansy, along with most of the Slytherin table, speechless.
