The holidays were rather dull, I was able to stay in Hogwarts under strict supervision of the teachers. I had just gotten my things for the new school year when I spotted the news papers. I picked one up and read it Sirius Black on the loose I read it over and chuckled walking into the leaky chouldren.
"I would've guessed you'd find his escape amusing" I heard a boy snarl I looked up to see Ron, George and the others I just smiled
"Ron, What was that for?" Mrs Weasley snapped
"I don't really care what your off-spring think of me, to be perfectly honest" I said with disgust "Oh as for you kids, I'll see you at school"
"Wait weren't you expelled?" one of the twins asked
"Nope Dumbledore already knew my history and believe i'm not like my father" I smirked and went home.
Soon we were back at Hogwarts, I had been told that I would be doing advanced potions, I was going to be in the same class as the weasley twins. When I woke the next morning and headed to the great hall. I had realised I was late when I noticed none of my House mates in the dungeons, as I walked most of the Hufflepuffs who I came across started to walk faster. I went into the great hall and sat by Terrance and Adrian, trying to ignore the whispers that were filling the great hall and began to eat.
"Is it true?" Adrian asked in a whisper
"What?" I shrugged
"About you being you-know-whos daughter?" Terrance added,
"Most of the Hufflepuffs are now scared of me, Gryffindors hate me, I don't know about the Ravenclaws or our house" I nodded answering truefully.
"Doesn't surprise me" Terrance said with a reasuring smiled.
Late March
"What you got first?" Adrian asked changing the subject
"Advanced potions, I'm with you and the Weasley twins, so this should be interesting" I said with a frown
"Sit with us" Terrance smiled I nodded. Soon we headed off to lessons. Terrance and Adrian sat on one of the back tables, I joined them Lee Jordan and the Weasley twns sat on the table next to us and kept making snide commets.
"Jordan, Weasley's Stop making comments and leave Miss Riddle be we are well aware of her family history, she hasn't grown up with her father and Dumbledore feels there is no reason to be concerned, no please get on with your work before I take points off of Gryffindor house" Proffesor Snape snapped. They went to whispering. I was concentrating on our potion when one of the twins used magic to make the heat of the fire too high for the potion but it was too much the fire burst higher the than the chouldren. I jumped and backed away banging into the cupboard at the back of the classroom pannicked. I saw everyone watching me. I turned and ran out of the class room.
I ran up the stairs and out onto the grounds to the black lake, I then sat on the rock, I was so panicked I was struggling to breath. My heart was racing. I didn't mind fire when it was a small one for potions anything that goes higher than a chouldren and freak out. I was just calming down when I felt a hand on my shoulder.
"Miss Riddle shouldn't you be in Lessons" I was a deep voice I looked up to see Hagrid.
"I'm going back soon and explain why I left" I sighed
"I'll walk you back" Hagrid offered
"It's fine I'll go alon" I told him and got to my feet. It wasn't long until I was back in the class room. The fire was back to normal. I sat at the back and kept my head down and quickly fixed mine, Terrance and Adrian's potion.
"Class dismissed" Snape said we all went to leave but I was stopped by Snape "Miss Riddle I would like a word with you about why you ran out of my classroom in the middle of a lesson"
"Yes proffesor" I mumbled everyone left
"Care to Explain" He asked
Fred's POV
As the fire rose higher than we planned, We saw Riddle back off looking panicked, she then ran out of the room. I looked at George who looked confused. Snape fixed the fire, Pucey and higgs tried to fix their potion. A little while later Riddle returned and fixed the potion with ease. We were dismissed but Snape stopped Riddle. We left me and Lee started to make our way to the great hall for dinner when George stopped us.
"I want to here this" He grinned
"Let's go" I said
"I'm with George let's listen" Lee smiled
"Care to explain" came Snapes voice
"I just don't like fire" Came her reply
"You just don't like fire, you were fine earlier" Snape said his voice questioning
"I don't like any fires that go higher than a chouldren" Her voice responded to me it sound normal but there was a little shake to it that was hard to here "It's scares me, the only thing that scares me more is seeing someone on fire"
"And why is that?" Snape questioned
"I don't talk about it" She hissed "Can I go now?"
"Yes you may go, take ten points for being able to fix the potion" Snape said. Me, George and Lee dodged into a hidden tunnel we knew about. We saw her leave.
"So her weakness is fire, we know how to prank her now, Let's go we need to prepare" George grinned and we went to our dorm
