A/N: Hi there! This is my 4th chapter, but you should know that. Sorry it's been awhile, I'm in the middle of moving! I'm actually working on a book (original) so I may not update as frequently. My spell check says that Chappaquiddick is an actual word. Yay!
Chapter 4
"Dawn, Kenny got us breakfast!" I shook Dawn until she woke up.
"What? How did he-." She stopped as soon as she saw the mouse. I thought she was going to puke. "Yummy!" She exclaimed and I laughed, surprised she didn't puke.
"So, what do you want to do?" I asked Dawn, looking away while Kenny devoured the mouse.
"What do you mean we have to go to classes." Dawn mumbled.
"It's Saturday, all we have is a quidditch game. Want to join the practice outside? They haven't started yet." I asked her.
"Sure." She mumbled again, then Sally jumped on her. Sally is a big cat, and Dawn was average height and weight, so Sally sent her crashing onto her bed. She was laughing when she got up.
"Lets bring Kenny to practice, can Sally come?" I asked her, noticing Kenny was done with the mouse.
"Yeah, she can go." So we got our pets- well, Sally was on a leash, sad I know, and Kenny just sat on my shoulder- and headed out to the field. Just in time.
"Do you want to practice?" The captain asked us.
"Duh." We said at the same time, flying into the air with our brooms. Kenny flew off and Sally just laid down. Everyone worked on different strategies, while I looked for the golden snitch. After about 15 minutes of frantic searching I found it. It was pretty high up. I went strait for it, and thought of a stupid idea. And trust me, it's stupid. I found a good position and decided to jump off of my broom, they had all seen me and were gasping as I got the snitch, and landed on my broom, which I had made go lower just as I jumped. Hooray for stupidity! It was wonderful, everyone patted me on the back. Kenny soared through the air and burst into flames as he landed on the ground. Almost everyone watched in horror. Well, I didn't. I laughed at them as Kenny rose from the ashes, got used to his body, and fluttered to my shoulder. "That's why his name means born of fire." I told them as I laughed my head off. My laughter was interrupted by Professor Snape.
"The headmaster would like to see you two." He gestured for Dawn and I to follow him. When we had reached his office, the headmaster turned to Professor Snape.
"Thank you Severus, that will be all." The potions teacher tuned and left, muttering something about needing centaur hairs. "You girls are advancing quite fast, and soon enough I think a challenge will arise that you girls will have to use your skills to overcome." The headmaster turned in our direction, his piercing blue gaze seemed to be looking through us. "I have to ask something of you girls." He looked at us through his half moon spectacles. "We suspect there may be a student who is spying on you two. For Voldemort." My heart sped up and I'm sure Dawn's did too. Panic struck me at the thought. Voldemort. I never said anything but his name, as did the headmaster. I tried to keep the same thought as the headmaster. Fear of the name means fear of the thing itself. Of course almost every first year was at least somewhat afraid of him.
"Who do you think is the spy?" I was thinking of a Slytherin. Everyone knew that most death eaters were from the Slytherin house, unless under the Imperious Curse.
"Jezebel Lestrange." I heard the last name and knew we were in trouble.
"L- Lestrange?" Dawn stammered. Everyone knew the Lestrange family held a close alliance with Voldemort.
"Yes, so keep an eye on her." The headmaster didn't seemed worried. "Off you go." As we left we turned towards a staircase and heard a scream coming from the girls bathroom. We ran in too find Jezebel Lestrange. She pointed her wand directly at Dawn.
"I've waited so long for this. My first kill." She hissed.
"Well you'll wait a little longer." I said drawing my wand out.
"Oh, really? Ava-" I cut her off with the first spell that came to mind.
"Petrificus Totalus!" I yelled, causing Jezebel to fall to the floor in a jet of yellow light.
"What was that light?" Dawn asked me as the headmaster came in. Jezebel was taken to Azkaban.
"I must speak with you two again." The headmaster lead us to his office.
"Your wand. What is it?" He stopped and turned to me.
"11 inches, Holly, Runespoor Fang."
"I'd like you two to meet Harry Potter." The famous Harry Potter came out from behind the headmaster. He looked normal, except the scar. "Also Ronald Weasley, and Hermione Granger." Two more kids stepped out from behind him, all three were first years.
"Nice to meet you." I shook all three of their hands.
"Now, Harry, your wand is very good with protection, Holly and Phoenix Feather, Delilah, your wand is very protective too. Holly and Runespoor Fang. Also, Dawn and Hermione, your wands are both good with hexes. Ronald, what is your wand again?"
"Ash and Unicorn Hair." He removed a very old looking wand.
"Ah, yes. Also good for protection, but a little more balanced." The headmaster seemed pleased. "You five stick together now. Especially in the years to come." He turned to all five off us. Go on to dinner." We left for the great hall, everyone seemed nervous. We sat down with Harry, Hermione, and Ron. After dinner we went to the commons.
"What is your favorite dragon?" Hermione asked me. She was a bookworm too!
"Hebridean Black dragons. I'll be right back, I think Kenny should be wild." They all came downstairs with me. We past Professor Snape who started to have a hissy fit.
"What are you doing? Go back to the common room!" He yelled at us.
"I'm setting my phoenix free. Unless you have a problem with that." He glanced towards Kenny's claws and followed us.
"Hurry up!" He yelled. Impatient much?
"Bye Kenny." I said as he flew off and we went inside. I turned to Hermione. "Do you think I could get a crup license?" I asked her.
"Maybe." She laughed. We all went to bed. We'd had a rough night. The next day we all met in the commons room.
A/N: Sorry, short but I'm busy, I'll make next one at least 3 full pages. Bye!
