A/N i'm back! This chapter is short, and was written in 20 minutes flat. Do you know somebody actually wrote me one review?!!! Lots of thanks to magical me for being my first reviewer!!!!! Anyway, on with the story. Oh, and the Chloe Torture has been delayed to the next chapter (which is written by a friend of mine. i couldn't exactly make my fave character suffer, could I?)


**********************************



They were all in the hospital wing and had changed back to their normal selves except for Chloe. Sean had also joined them, a pained look on his face. They watched her quietly as she played with her silver hair. She seemed very worn out by what had just happened. Madame Pomfrey bustled in with a tray of food.



Hello, are you feeling well? She asked Chloe.




Fine, thanks Chloe nodded her head.



Well, I suppose you're trying to figure out what's happening. I think Mr. Clarmell here added a bit too much holly weed and too little boomslang. This accident made Miss Black go into a coma and delay the effects of the potion, and then turn into a veela. I don't know how to reverse this potion, but I think it will wear off after a few weeks. I suppose you'll just have to get used to it for a while. Madam Pomfrey told her.



They reflected on what she had just said. Chloe looked like she was about to faint again.

*I can't believe that I'm stuck as a veela. Oh my god, silver hair for a few weeks! * she thought desperately.



You may go if you like, but I'd advise you to come see me again this afternoon after class, just to give you a check up. Madame Pomfrey then left the room.



Chloe, I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to get that stupid potion wrong. I didn't do it on purpose, i swear! I'll make it up to you somehow. Sean told her, terrified of what he had just done to her.



Damn sure you'll make it up. I want to strangle you right this moment! Chloe shouted at him. Then her angry face turned into a mischievous smile.

Just joking, it's okay I'll live. Don't worry, it's actually quite cool. she smiled bravely.

All together, they made their way back to their Common room.



-----------------------------------



When they got to the common room, everyone's eyes turned to Chloe as she walked in.



Ron, Harry and Hermione looked up from a game of exploding snap and ran over to them.



Um, hi my name is Ron. He said to Chloe and extended his hand.



Chloe laughed at him while he thought of something else to say.



Ron, you big dummy, it's me, Chloe. She grinned.




Chloe! Really, is that you? How come you're a, a, um----



What, a veela. Yeah, Sean over there turned me into a veela by accident and I'll have to wait a few weeks before I'm back to my own self. Chloe said glumly.



I don't think it's that bad, you get to have veela straight hair! Hermione told her fondly, yet somewhat enviously, tugging at her own still slightly bushy hair.


Hermione, you forget that I usually usually have straight hair! Chloe answered, smiling a little.


Cool, I have a sister that's a veela, do you want me to send a letter to Saria's to tell him this? Harry asked her. Chloe shook her head. No need for them to worry about this small accident.



--------------------------------------



The hall was buzzing with chatter when the friends went for their dinner. Chloe had wrapped a shawl around her head. She didn't want anyone seeing that she was a veela. Needless to say this was a very bad idea indeed. She attracted way more attention with a shawl around her head. Anything that you wanted to hide would be known immediately at Hogwarts, it was well known.


They all walked over to the Gryffindor table and sat down. Suddenly they heard a cruel taunting voice behind them.



Who's this, are you too ugly to show your face? Or maybe it's just because your ashamed that you might frighten the first year's? The voice said behind them.



The foursome swung around and looked at the annoying face of Jane Dalemen and her two cronies; Nat Nole and Melissa Woster. They were all in Slytherin and liked teasing and annoying everybody in the school- especially the 5th year Gryffindor girls, namely Chloe, Tiffany , Alizeh and Costanza.


Get out of our face Jane, we have no time for you. Tiffany told to her I'm-dangerous-stay-away tone of voice. Jane didn't get the hint.



What, are you going to send you father at me? Oops! I forgot. Your father is in Azkaban. I'm only not taunting you more because of your brother, Tiffany. Jane said to her. It was a known fact that Jane had had a crush on Draco for a hell of a long time but Draco never liked her back.

(Costy: He had far better taste, and had an eye for the beautiful Costy Band *smirks*) (A/N Costy!!!! Get back in the story and stop messing about!!!! Right NOW!)



That did it. They all knew that Tiffany didn't like her father but this had just gone too far. Costy and Alizeh pulled out their wands, but before they could hex Jane, Chloe was already up. Her shawl had fallen off and everyone in the hall could see what she was. Jane gasped. Fortunately, there were no teachers around, because this promised to get nasty.


Chloe looked at Jane with pure hatred seething out everywhere.



Don't you dare talk to Tiffany like that! She yelled at the top of her lungs. Suddenly, her silverish-grey eyes turned a bright yellow that glowed. Her hair looked like the colour of fire and her right hand was glowing with a small orb in it. It took just a flash of a second to realise what she was doing and she calmed down. Her hair and eyes turned back to the normal veela colour and the glowing orb was gone. She sat back down while Jane ran to the Slytherin table and hid behind a third year.

The bloodshed was avoided.

How did you do that Chloe? Costy asked her as everybody went back to their meal.



I don't know. Chloe told her truthfully.



I know, I've learnt about veelas. When they get angry, they turn, well, what you turned into, and they can throw balls of fire from their palms. Alizeh told them. When they get extra angry, they will turn into a giant bird like creature that is very dangerous. In their normal state, they can attract men.

At this, Costy and Tiffany sniggered.


Wow, can I really do that? Chloe asked Alizeh in awe. Alizeh nodded vigourously.



Can I ask you all a favour? If I get extra extra mad could you please calm me down. You know how I am with birds. I wouldn't be able to stand being one myself. Chloe shivered slightly at the thought of being a huge bird.

More sniggers from Tiffany's and Costy's side of the table.



Later through lunch, Draco came up to them.


That was really cool Chloe. I'm very happy that someone in this school has lighter hair than me. I can die happy now. Draco told her grinning.



Costy started asking people if they didn't want their dessert. Alizeh was talking with Harry about being a half angel half devil creature. They had started looking at each other now. Alizeh was very happy to have overcome her blushing break outs whenever catching sight of Harry. Tiffany was with Miles. They were sharing a chicken drumstick and had a if-anyone-laughs-at-us-they'll-get-a-beating, look on their face. Otherwise they were having a very nice time. Chloe was by herself, pushing her food about on her plate and thinking about her new powers.

A/N
Still no real action. I'm delaying it all. Hope you liked it, though it is kinda short. I'll update more tomorrow or later in the week, ok? Review please. See you all around! Hay Lin

p.s BTW please ignore Costy's comment on Draco, she's got this thing for him... anyway, I think I'm going to be evil and not pair them up...;-) just to piss Costy off. What do you think? Who should I pair up with whom? Tell me!!!
