I do not own any of these characters except for Thalia.
CHAPTER FOUR IS NOW UP!
Thalia forced herself out of the comfortable bed and trudged down the steps grumpily. She didn't even get to sleep for five minutes.
As she reached the bottom of the steps, she was greeted by Harry and his friends, who Harry had introduced a few minutes later. She nodded in acknowledgement grumpily. She was deprived of her sleep, and she was extremely hungry.
The walk down to the Great hall was slightly more different than what Thalia had expected. She had expected that Ron and Hermione would ignore her; instead, they talked to her like it was no different than any other day.
Thalia was slightly bewildered by her good luck and remained silent on her way down.
Her peace was interrupted minutes later when a pale boy with platinum blond hair cornered them. "Potter's sister? Ha! Do you have a foul scar on your forehead too?" Thalia was in no mood to retort. She was seriously deprived of her sleep and her stomach was growling. "Shut up Malfoy." Harry retorted and Thalia noticed that he was reaching for his wand.
Both Harry and Malfoy were glaring at each other; both of them looked like they were itching for a showdown. "Harry, don't use magic against him. You will be breaking the rules." Hermione hissed, and Thalia watched as Harry pocketed his wand.
"Too scared, Potter? Taking orders from a mud blood?" He taunted and Thalia felt a burning sort of anger in her stomach. She knew she shouldn't behave on impulse, but in a few seconds, she had pushed herself out of the crowd, and aimed a swift punch at Malfoy's nose.
"OW! YOU B-!" He yelled, and Thalia felt the urge to punch him on his nose again. "Wow, you are a sissy. Seriously, it's just a broken nose. Or maybe, I could call mummy to come and pick you up?" She asked sarcastically. "Wait until my father hears about this!" Malfoy barked and escaped the scene.
"You stupid dirty cockroach! Are you threatening me? I swear I will beat up your ugly pug face next!" She yelled to his retreating back.
She glanced back at the threesome and she had to stifle a laugh as she noticed each of their different reactions.
Harry was grinning widely, Ron was staring at her in awe, but Hermione looked disapproving and tried to convince Thalia not to use violence in the Hogwarts the whole time during breakfast.
"Seriously Thalia. You could even get suspended-.." Thalia wasn't really listening, but nodded distractedly as she chewed on her eggs. "Give it a rest Hermione." Harry said, as he loaded his plate with sausages.
Hermione looked flustered as she glared at both Harry and Ron angrily, who were both too absorbed with their food. "Are you going to eat those eggs?" Thalia asked and Hermione rolled her eyes as she piled up her plate with more food.
"Seriously. They are exactly alike." Hermione muttered under her breath and Thalia decided to ignore this to enjoy her breakfast.
"Miss Jones. Here is your timetable." Thalia glanced up and noticed Professor McGonagall staring down at her, a sheet of paper in her hand. "Tanks." Thalia replied, her mouth full of eggs.
She stuffed her timetable in her bag and listened to Harry and Ron argue continuously about Quidditch teams.
Thalia resisted the urge to join in and ate her breakfast hastily. It was her first day of lessons and she didn't want to be late. She waited for the others to be finished with their breakfast before walking out of the hall for Charms lessons.
Professor Flitwick was seated on a large pile of books. There were a raven or either a toad on each desk and everyone found their seats and sat down.
After some consideration, Thalia decided to pair up with Ron for that day's charms lessons. It was a bad idea.
Thalia couldn't silence her raven and Ron had prodded his toad over the desk and it was instantly squashed by Seamus who was sitting in front of them.
Professor Flitwick was not pleased, but he still gave another toad to Ron. After several attempts, Thalia managed to silence her raven, which irritated her greatly as it had nipped her finger twice.
"I'm bringing plasters for the next charms lesson." She said flatly, as she glanced at her bleeding fingers.
"I thought that was a really useful charms lesson." Hermione said and she proceeded to explain something that didn't sound remotely like English.
"Sorry Hermione, but can you not explain all this in Greek?" Thalia asked grumpily. Hermione didn't seem fazed by her comment, and continued talking at the speed of lightning.
"You'll get used to this." Harry said, patting her back before catching up with Ron.
"Get used to this? Not likely." She muttered to herself and braced herself for torture as she entered the dungeons for Potions lessons.
