Chapter 3: Classifying
As they went under water Ginny looked around the boat and walked over to the woman. "Where are we going? And why are we going under water?"
The woman looked at her and smiled, "Well, we are on the coast of Ireland. The school you'll now be going to is underwater, don't worry it's like an air bubble under water. The school used to be like Hogwarts, but closed when Hogwarts began to become more popular.
Now they reopened and updated things to make sure everything's all safe." Ginny nodded and looked at her, then sat back down by Blaise and looked at him. "So, Zabini, why are you here, I mean, I know why
you're here, but yeah you get what I mean."
Blaise looked at her. "I'm part Vipaness, and why are you here?"
"I'm part phrosic." Ginny smiled slightly and looked at her shoes.
Blaise stared at her while gaping, "Wow no wonder you're here you're more dangerous than I am. Believe me, that's saying a lot."
Ginny just laughed slightly and shrugged. "Don't look that dangerous to me"
Blaise smirked at her evilly. "Don't be fooled Weasley, I'm as dangerous as a guy can get, 'cept maybe Malfoy."
Ginny snorted. "Oh yeah, totally scared of a ferret. Please, he couldn't scare me if he tried. If you're saying the ferret is scarier than you are, you might as well be a fairy!"
Blaise stared at her wide eyed then chuckled. "If you say so, Weasley, but I still wouldn't get on Malfoys bad side if I were you."
Ginny just rolled her eyes and sat back.
…...
As the ship docked Draco looked around noticing the fish swim at his eye level. Already knowing the school was under water it didn't freak me out or anything. He looked around noticing Blaise talking to Weasley. He looked disgusted at his friend. Why would he talk to that bint? The woman walked to the front and looked back at them. "Welcome to Cogwood, the school for Halflings. Now there are no houses like Hogwarts only classes there is the low class which is filled with halfing's that are not dangerous. Then there is medium class with of course medium dangerous Halflings, then there is top class with more dangerous Halflings. Then there is high class with the most dangerous Halflings we have."
Draco looked at her shocked "What do you mean there are no house's, I'm going to have to be in a place where there are Gryffindor's and maybe worse!"
The woman glared down at him "Seeing as not ever student here is from Hogwarts, Mr. Malfoy, yes, you will. Also you will learn to live with them; we don't have enough students to do it with houses and classification. There is a reason for the classifications Mr. Malfoy and you will accept them and deal with it. Also Mr. Malfoy your father can't do anything, you will not have separated anything, you will share with who you're classified with."
Draco glared hard at the woman and snarled. The woman started heading to the castle of black stone when no one else said anything. Once entering the school they heading to the dining area. There were circled tables littering the area with comfortable chairs and one rectangle table where the staff sat. In the middle of the room stood a chair and a little side table. The woman went and stood next to the chair on the opposite side of the side table. "Each student will come here and sit in the chair and place your palms on the arms of the chair, also place your wand on the table. Now one at a time come here, when you're ready." The woman looked at each of the 4 in the eyes and waited.
There was a long silence as the rest of the student already there looking at them. Theo looked around noticing the tables had different color, four different colors to be exact. Gold, deep purple, sunrise orange and baby pink. Realizing no one was going to be first Theo walked to the chair put his wand on the table and sat down. Placing his palms like she told him there was a moment of silence ringing threw the hall. Theo looked at the woman and then felt a prick on his palm, looking back at the chair there came out a voice in a high pained voice. "High class", it hissed. With that a burning sensation on his neck made him wince and groan. A dragon appeared black with red eye's breathing fire on the left side of his neck.
Theo stood up and looked at the woman, she smiled. "When you graduate this place that dragon will only be visible to ministry and other Halflings. While you are here it shall shine on your skin so everyone will know you're a high class. Now please join the purple table." Theo nodded grabbing his wand and went to the first purple table he found.
Ginny stared shocked at the chair then getting up all her nerves walked up to it putting her wand on the table. Sitting down and placing her palms down where Theo's were. Feeling the prickle and the loud high screeching: "High class!" Ginny's eyes widened and felt the burn of the dragon being made on her neck. The woman nodded to the table where Theo already was, Ginny got up, grabbed her wand and joined him.
Draco went next, the voice rang "high class" but not high pitched or screechy, a deep rumbling voice, the dragon appeared and he joined the other two and watched as Blaise went up already knowing he also was going to be high class because Blaise was also part vipaness. Blaise sat next to them his skin still burning as the dragon on his neck was trying to find a place comfortable enough. After they
all sat down food appeared; Ginny started digging in noticing as every time she took enough of one thing it refilled so it was like a bottomless plate of food. Each student noticing that started grabbing food as well. Dinner was pretty quiet as they didn't really know what to say to each other.
The woman stood up and went to them after noticing they were done eating. "If you will follow me I will now show you where you will be staying." The woman not waiting for them went over to the door. Ginny got up first as the rest followed her down to the dungeons. They got to a painting of a woman and man with black clothes, squinting Ginny noticed they were vampires. The man looked at Ginny raking his eyes over her body making Ginny blush while the woman was doing the same with Draco, Blaise and, Theo. The woman cleared her throat, "The password is ze grindilow, make sure you say ze not the. The women and man in this portrait are French." As the woman smiled and the portrait opened to a hall, Ginny walked down the hall after the woman went down first. The common area had dark purple couches and rugs while almost everything else was black. The fire place, with a couch and 2 chairs sat in front of it, was roaring with life. A girl with purple hair was sitting on the rug right in front of the fire place but looked up when she heard them walk in. She smirked and hopped up as her hair changed to a blond and walked over to them. The woman looked at her and smiled softly.
"Daria please show Ms. Weasley to her room, I'm sure the other girls will be excited to see her. Also have Phelan come up, he's had that whole room to himself for too long." Daria nodded and the woman left. "Just wait here I will get everyone." She went to the set of stairs that went up. Ginny sighed and grabbed a seat on the couch. Ginny watched the boys stand in the same spot while a boy came up from the other side of the room.
The boy with yellow hair stared at the other boys for a while. But when he caught sight of Ginny he walked over to her. "I guess we have a new beauty in this little area for us high classes. I'm glad; too, you are a sight for sore eyes." He winked and sat next to her.
Ginny blushed deeply as Draco snorted. "Oh yeah, a real beauty with her hair so red and those god awful freckles."
Just then the three other girls appeared and one girl smirked and walked over to Draco her hair as red as Ginny's but with yellow strips. "You got something against red heads, mister?" She smirked more and licked her lips before turning to Phelan. "Don't you dare scare her off like you almost did to Daria, twin!"
Phelan gave her puppy eyes. "I cannot help myself, my blood; her beauty reminds me of your own surely you can see that. With her red hair and pouted lips, how is a man to help himself."
As Ginny blushed so deeply her face went red she noticed the boy and girl looked almost identical "Are you two really twins?"
The girl smiled and winked "Yes, but I assure I'm much better looking than him. Besides I don't scare people when they first get here", she glared. "I'm Freya, and this little coward is Callia. Don't mind her she's been shy since she's been here."
Ginny looked at Callia the girl had short kind of rock style hair. Ginny smiled and she smiled back while Daria was looking at boys. "So, how about we play toss the sack? It's a game that while you have the sack you tell us about yourself."
Draco snorted but went and sat in an arm chair, Blaise taking a place on the floor and Theo in the other arm chair. The rest gathered around them while Daria had a little sack that somewhat looked like a
snitch. "I will start first, hello I'm Daria Cross. I'm French and came from an all-girls school from Paris, France. I'm 16, and I'm sure you all know I can change my hair color but that's about it."
Daria gave it to Freya. "My brother and I are twins, obviously. We were born in Scotland and also went to school there, we are 16 but in a few weeks we will be 17. Oh and our last name is Montain."
Freya was about to hand it to Callia but Phelan took it "I will not let you do all the talking, my blood." He looked at them and smiled deeply. "My sister and I, are Scottish but, no, I do not wear a kilt so don't worry, gentlemen, you'll never see me in a skirt." His eye's skimming over Callia, Ginny and Daria.
"Unless my lover asks me to" He threw a dazzling smile at Callia before handing the sack to her. Callia's cheeks burned as bad as Ginny's did while Freya and Daria just rolled their eyes. "I'm Callia, I'm Russian and I'm 17. I went to school in Italy, though my English is good I'm shaky on some words still."
Callia gave Draco the sack. "I'm Draco, I'm from England and I'm 16 turning 17 in two months. I came from Hogwarts, which is a school in England."
He tossed the sack to Theo, Theo smiled at them. "I'm Theodor Nott, though I prefer Theo, I'm 17. I also am from England and Hogwarts." Giving Blaise the sack Blaise stood up.
"I am Blaise Zabini, charming 17 years old. I'm from England and Hogwarts. I was in the Slytherin house so I think I will find the dungeons comfortable." he tossed it quickly to Ginny "Not to be rude but I would love to hurry up, I'm starting to get tired."
Ginny just nodded and played with the little snitch sack "I'm Ginny Weasley, I'm 15. I'm the youngest of 8 and I'm the only girl. I'm from England and Hogwarts, and I was in Gryffindor so the dungeon are new to me as for living down here."
The girls stood up "I believe Blaise is right it's getting quite late and tomorrow we will all be getting our schedules. Also we have to show you your area and bed and stuff. So good night boys." Daria smiled and grabbed Ginny by the arm and tugged her up. As Ginny went up the stairs when she got to the top there were three doors. "Well, Ginny, here we are, they reconstructed this whole are for high class only so there are only two separate rooms and each room has four beds. We decided two to a room, so you'll be in Callia's room. Which I think will be a great fit, you two seem a lot alike." Daria smiled and pointed the last door on the left. "The room in the middle is the showers and baths and such. You will have a cubby area to put all your bathroom things in there once you pick a bed." Daria smiled and went into the far right door.
Callia looked up at Ginny "Shall we go into our room?" Ginny nodded and opened the door; each bed had a draw on curtain if a girl needed privacy. The under sheets where black with a dark purple comforter and pillows. The curtains were black to block out the light. Ginny noticed that the bed at the very end was taken because of the pictures on the little end table. "So where do I
put my trunk?"
Callia smiled widely at this. "Actually you get a closet of sorts here I will show you. Which bed do you want?"
Ginny moved to the bed near the middle so she was one bed away from the door and one bed away from Callia. Ginny smiled. "This one will do, I guess."
Callia nodded and across the bed were doors; Callia opened the door and motioned for Ginny to follow her. Ginny came over and her jaw almost hit the floor, inside the doors where three place's to hang your cloths with a ten shoe shelf's, a little book shelf and a mirror at the end of the hall. Ginny stared and stuttered
"Th-th-th-this is all mine?" Callia giggles and nodded. "Yeah, they really made sure you had enough room for your cloths and stuff oh and the book shelf is for all your school stuff and books. It even has little drawers if you need them. Oh and you need to stand in front of the mirror so you can get your uniform and some cloths, you'll get a choice on three shirts, two pants, two skirts, and if you want stockings or not. Also two pairs of shoes and your uniform shoe's, and don't ask the teachers already said you must wear the shoes during class hours."
Ginny stared at the mirror, tucking her trunk and walked over to it. Instantly the mirror came to life "My, my what pretty red hair. Now look at me girl it's time for your measurements!"
Almost 20 minutes later five sets of her uniform and robes appeared on the first area to hang up cloths. The mirror paused for a moment. "Now dear lets chose some clothes, yes? What style do you prefer?"
Ginny smiled. "Well, what do you have in black, gold, grey, maybe yellow, or white?"
The mirror sighed happily. "Let's do some shirts first, yes?"
After looking at about 100 shirts Ginny chose one shirt that was silver that was made of silk with slight frill on the sleeves that only covered her shoulders and that hugged her stomach and breasts, giving cleavage but not too much. The second shirt was yellow and had black swirl designs on it really popping her hair and pale skin, the sleeves went to her elbow and was tight around her breasts giving a good amount of cleavage and bellowed on her stomach, but not too much. The last shirt was light pink with a black jacket sewn on; the pink was a strap less shirt with the jacket sleeves going past her shoulder but not to her elbow. The jacket only going to mid stomach then cut off with the rest of the light pink showing.
Ginny also chose two pairs of jeans one black and one white but both hugged her hips and gave her a nice ass; though tight on her thighs and a little lose on her calves. She chose a grey skirt that swirled easily matching the silky top, a yellow skirt that was tight with ripples going to her knees, and a black mini skirt made out of the same fabric as the jacket on the pink shirt. She also chose one pair of black stockings and two pairs of sheer pantyhose's. She picked out one pair of black flats with rhinestones on it and one boot that went up almost to her knees that was also black with fur. Her uniform shoes were half an inch black sleek high heels that shone.
After unpacking and hanging up her clothes and shuffling in her new clothes, Ginny noticed a small bell ringing around 9:30 p.m. Callia came over to her and smiled. "We get to meet our new dorm mother, come on!"
Ginny followed Callia down the stairs and saw everyone there already. Blushing slightly she moved to see the woman that would be her new dorm mother. The woman looked young maybe mid 20's with glossy brown hair, brown eyes and deep tan. "Hello everyone my name is Kate O'Hare, though you can call my Kate or Katy or mom. I am of course your new dorm mother; I am to make sure you're not sick and if you are to take care of you. Just think of me like the mother you have at home, and we should be good friends. Now it is 9:30 p.m. so I will make sure you wash up and brush your teeth so off you go!" She smiled warmly as the students left.
Draco muttered to himself. "Mother indeed, if she was my mother she wouldn't be here."
Blaise laughed and smirked. "Damn right she wouldn't be, no offence, mate, but your mums not really the motherly type."
Draco smirked. "Yeah she's not, as soon as one of us got sick she would just call in a house elf."
Blaise laughed and they continued down. Unlike the girls there were no purple anything it was all black except the candles. Draco ended up sharing his room with Blaise which he had no problem with since him and Blaise had been friends since birth and roommates since first year. Draco took the last bed and Blaise the middle. Draco had already faced the mirror though was a little sad to know it was a male mirror, he thought so anyway since a male voice came out of it. He got his school uniform; though he told the mirror he really didn't need the extra clothes the mirror gave him a black, grey and deep green silk shirts. Two pairs of jeans, two pairs of slacks. Two pairs of dress shoes, one which went to go with his uniform and two pairs of boots which were also black.
Draco finishing his unpacking and setting all his things for school on the book shelf, noticing books that appeared to be for his classes. Draco started to get very tired; he quickly brushed his teeth and showered. Getting into his pajamas of green silk, settled into bed and started to drift away into the sleeping world. Ginny, after having cleaned her teeth and showered, finished unpacking when she noticed the books appear on the book shelf. "I guess these are for class?"
Callia came in and nodded. "Yeah, we all take the same classes, we just get different level of things unless they think we have caught up with the graduates, I asked. Apparently you can graduate this year even though you're only 15. As long as you pass their tests and N.E.W.T.S. they will let you graduate."
Ginny was shocked about that but smiled. "That would be pretty cool, but no offence, I'm getting tired. Mind if we head to bed?"
Callia nodded and smiled and ran to her closet to pull on her night gown and hopped into bed. Ginny smiled at the girl who somewhat reminded her of Hermione a little bit. She sighed and placed the few pictures of her family and the trio on her bed stand. She pulled the covers over herself and curled up to her teddy bear that was almost the size of a regular person and fell asleep.
