Chapter 3
Hey guess what I am Special
As always: Marissa's POV:
After lunch finished we (Josh and I) went to Defense against the Dark Arts. My least Favorite Class. I forget the Professor's name, probably because I was doodling in my notebook.
It seemed like forever when the Bell rang. I gathered my books and went to the door where Josh was waiting.
We walk down the corridor together, talking about our homes and our families.
"You are muggle born!" I ask trying not to laugh.
"Yeah, my parents thought I was 'Special Needs'." He replies making air quotes with his hands around Special Needs.
"Wow, what is it like, to find out your special when no one else is?" I ask with a sigh. I want to be at least somewhat special, My siblings get all the glory.
"Eh.." He says rubbing the back of his neck, "It's not as cool as you might think."
I raise my eyebrows at him and I was about to reply but the Headmaster interrupts. "I am sorry Mr. Holland, but can I borrow her for a moment?" Josh nods and gives me an encouraging look before Headmaster McGonagall walks me to her office.
When we get to her office two men are waiting inside. They turn around and just so happen to be Harry Potter and Ronald Weasley.
"Hello Marissa, we have a few questions for you, You wouldn't mind would you?" Harry asks looking straight at me. I hug my books to my chest and say, "Well, what would you be asking me?"
Ron's face is very serious, "We think you might be a very special girl."
"I'll try to hide my excitement." I say with a glare, "Why are you playing games, I am in trouble or something right? Why else would we be in the headmasters office?"
Harry and Ron exchange a glance and then whisper something to the Headmaster. She nods and they both walk out of the room, asking me to follow them. We walk down the corridor and all of the way outside to the Quidditch field, which is far away mind you.
"Okay, this is far enough away from everyone." Harry says leaning up against pole, "You are destined to do great things."
I sit down on the grass and look down, "What kind of things?"
"Well, it was said that a very special girl would restore the honor of Slytherin, we think you are that girl."
"How can I restore the Honor of Slytherin?" I ask standing up, fist clenched in rage. "Slytherin is the worst, everyone in it is mean and every other house treats you differently. They bully you and make fun of you. You think you can talk to your own brother who is in Gryffindor, but no, Your brother completely disowns you and then you are afraid your parents are going to act the same way, because they used to joke about never allowing a child in Slytherin to live under that roof, Well guess what I am!? A Slytherin."
Harry and Ron stand there taken back. Harry tilts his head with a smile and then says, "Everyone in Slytherin is mean? What about you, or that boy that you constantly hang around with?"
I frown at him, "Well I guess he isn't that bad, But I can't say if I am mean, I could be so bias and just call myself nice because I feel like boosting my status today." My cheeks burn red at the thought of Josh, he has been so nice these past two days, I am glad I met him.
Harry laughs and Ron looks at him strangely, "Harry, this is the younger sister of Jennifer Powers, you know the one that is dating your son."
Harry grins to himself, "You never said you sister disowned you, now did you?"
"No, she actually cares about me I guess, my brother just cares about his stupid reputation," I grumble and then add "which shouldn't be his."
As soon as the words leave my mouth I freeze, mom said never to say it out loud, EVER.
"What are you talking about, Shouldn't have been his? He made one of the best Healing potions of all time, of course he is popular." Ron asks with a bit of an attitude.
"He didn't make that potion." I say through gritted teeth before running off, back to Hogwarts.
I make it back just in time for dinner, I sit down in my seat at the end to the table and hide my face in my arms. Tears threaten to spill from my eyes and I take deep breaths to try and make it stop.
I hear a voice but I don't pay attention, then a person sits down next to me and says, "Marissa, you okay?"
I look up, with tear filled eyes. His eyebrows crease with worry, which would have made me smile, if I hadn't just signed my death warrant.
He puts a hand on my back and says, "What's wrong? Can I do anything to help?"
I shake my head no and put my head back down. He goes to wrap my arms around me for a hug, but hesitates before pulling away. I look up and he whispers, "Sorry, I wasn't sure if I was allowed to hug you. Your Sister kind of looked at me and then your brother gave me a glare..."
I laugh slightly and he grins. "Don't let them bother you, I really don't think my brother will care who hugs me if he isn't talking to me."
Josh hugs me from the side and says, "Your brother is missing out."
Those five words meant so much to me. I smile through my tear streaked face and lean into his hug.
"You have been the nicest person ever, I am glad that I met you." I sigh. He puts his head on top of mine and then whispers, "Anytime you need me, I will be there."
So I know that chapter was short but I love it so much, There is a start of some romance here. Will Her brother object? Who knows.
