Shyness to the Extreem

by Contagious-Anime-Obsession

I've never done a OC story before, but I felt like it this time. So, Ari is a 4th year student at Hogwarts, but she's super shy, looks like shes 9, and it's actually only her 1st year because her mom refused to let her go until now. But her shyness soon gets her to befriend Draco Malfoy, and change him for the better.

4. Chapter 4 - 1ST DAY FOOD-FIGHT

Okay, so this is a really short chapter I put in for Humor. I'm in the middle of my "State English Testing" so I probably wont update until like Friday. Unless I'm really bored during testing and come up with ideas XD

Chapter 4

Ari struggled through robe fittings and schedule dealings for what felt like forever and a half. Add that to lunch time and it was almost time for the students to arrive.

Ari watched the student, years 2-7, filter through the door…from behind Snape's chair. Dumbledore stood up to call in the 1st years when Snape held up his hand to tell him to wait a moment. "We have a slight problem. Or should I say, short problem." The entire staff table laughed as Ari jumped up from behind his chair. "I am NOT short." She exclaimed.

When the hall of students laughed she blushed bright red, and put her head down shyly. "Token, get to your table." Snape said. He tried to sound angry, but his tone came out amused instead. Ari shyly went to her table and sat closest to the back of the room as she could.

The 1st years came, were sorted, and then the food arrived. Ari gasped as it appeared. She'd eaten their at lunch, but she's eaten at the staff table, which wasn't on such a large scale as what she was seeing right then. Then the ghosts swooped in, causing the students to laugh and point. A certain ghost, covered in what seemed to be colorless blood, emerged from her plate.

She tilted her head curiously to the side. "How come you're more see-through than the other ghost?" Ari asked him. The Bloody Barren looked at her in the same curious manner as she looked at him. "What other ghost?" he asked. "I AM NOT A GHOST!" A high pitched voice screamed across the dinning hall.

Peeves swooped down from the ceiling that looked like a sky. "For the last time, little girl: I. AM. A. POLTREGIST!" Most of the students were terrified, ducking under table and such to avoid Peeves' wrath. But Ari just laughed. "Not likely." She giggled. "You little snake!" Peeves yelled again, and flung a plate of food at her before disappearing into the floor.

She smiled at the Bloody Barren. "THAT ghost." She said.
