Chapter 6
The Annoyance of being a Slytherin
It had been barely a week, and Roxanne was already tired of the place. The Slytherin house had started to prank her on the first day of classes. The positive side of things, the Malfoy boy, had stayed far away from her. Today was normal, wake up to find the uniform ruined, again. The shower heads spitting out a smelly substance easily fixed. She discovered her reaper uniform and put that on instead of the robes. She pulled out the dove from the suitcase wrote a note with her fountain pen she kept
September 6, 1991, Request for reaper grade lock. Just send the paperwork to me. -RM
And gave it to the dove. And picked up the cage as she was in the dungeons and there was the black lake right outside the common room she would have to wait to send the bird off at a much more convenient location.
Roxanne set out to get help for the robes, she held the robes and all the filth with it and marched up the stairs to the boy's dorm room. The Tool was still asleep. She kept the filthy robes over Malfoy and dropped it. It fell upon him in all its disgusting glory waking Draco up with the stench.
" Tool, who did you convince this time," Roxanne demanded.
"No one," he said his voice squeaking softly
" Good, let me borrow one of your robes," Roxanne said pointing her dirty gloved finger at the boy. Roxanne had to love the gloves they kept her hands clean, and she could clean them later
" Does this include that?" he pointed to the lump of uniform and gunk that was sitting atop of him.
"If you're wondering about the slope of filth no." Roxann sighed, what she would do to have the gunk on his uniform."Just a walk around school and classes until the house elves clean up my uniform."
" Why don't you ask pansy?"
" Well, I'm not born to a 'pureblood' family, a family like your own. that you're engaged at nine just to make sure your family is pure." Roxanne said glaring at him. I will make sure when I extract your memories it will be painful
He must have understood it as; once Voldemort kills your father with his ghost, he will bury you alive and dance on your grave.
Draco shuddered. "fine" Draco went and rummaged around his trunk pulling out his extra. "But you're going to owe me." Roxanne took the expensive looking garment tossed it over her suit. The shoulders fit nicely, and the hem of the robe hung right above the laces of her heels.a better fit than asking one of the girls in her dorm.
"The dead have no favor for the living, but the living has a favor for the dead" She decisively pulled a platinum lock off of suit with the clean glove and let it fall as well as a piece on the front. Roxanne observed the road for any other lint in the mirror.
"What the heck does that mean?" Draco asked.
"What do you mean?" Roanne asked uninterested and grabbed another piece of lint off the sleeves were a half a centimeter longer than her own. "The phrase you said it doesn't come from any book I know." So the tool reads. Roxanne arched an eyebrow.
"Oh, just some rulebook about what and what not to do to the dead, Like asked requests oh and I thank you. Me. Malfoy." Roxanne adjusted the coat underneath to the proper place and left. Taking the comforter to contain the gunky uniform.
The journey up to the great hall was eventful as peeves a ghostly sort of character with a bowtie floated through the wall and flung a water balloon that he had in hand. Roxanne even though she was Brunet and legally so by muggle terms was still able to dodge the water balloon she spotted Harry Potter and Ronald Weasley walking down the hallways. Harry spotted her through the 'early morning' crowd that had most of the further placed houses coming down for breakfast.
"Roxanne" he called across the hallway. and thus she obliged herself to walk towards him.
"Morning potter. I see that you found your way down to the great hall on time this morning."
"what do we have today you seem to always know," Harry asked
"You guys have double potions with Slytherin," Roxanne said having memorized her schedule and the Gryffindor's because somehow she knew that Harry and Ron would require the knowledge.
"dame Snaps the head of house for the Slytherins. no offense" Ron said.
"none took. though I think that the Slytherins that you stereotype are actually the ones that prefer to torture other students by using foolish and petty techniques such as.." Roxanne then gestured the bundle of the comforter with the pile of gunk in it that seemed to be seeping out.
"Yikes," Ron and Harry said. Despite Roxanne's dislike of Harry being a Destined person, in the end, she didn't mind the every once and awhile conversation. Even if the pain in her shoulder was more intense around harry potter.
"Why do you have a dove?" Ron asked pointing to the caged dove.
"Oh, it's just a message to my superiors. Sort of need to know information," Roxanne said, she had told Harry about it before school. So she determined that Harry could think of her as a secret agent and he must have shared his thoughts with his new friend. Harry thought it was cool and Ron wanted to introduce her to his dad. She waved them off and walked out into the courtyard releasing the dead dove, it fluttered into the sky then vanished. Then, she walked back into the castle and down the way that the Hufflepuffs were coming up the stairs she gave a tickle to the pear and walked into the kitchen. a house elf that called herself Henna shuffled up to her "Hello miss do you need help with something?"
"Yes I do I suppose," Roxanne said and showed the mess of roads. Henna, the house elf, Roxann found seemed all too happy to clean her mess of gunked up robes, grabbing the robes and gunking up her hands.
"Thank you. Henna let me know when you're done." Roxanne said and left the cleaning to the house elf. Roxan tuned out the dirty glove and handed the pair to henna Roxanne pulled out the spare that she brought and adjusted the suit underneath to a more comfortable position.
Returning to the great hall. Roxanne entered the great room a five past nine. Roxanne looked over at the Slytherin table, all the slitherers were gathered together and whispering and pointing, and all seemed to be starring together at the Greathall entrance. Roxanne supposed they were staring, at her. 'Well, the word that my robes were messed with must have gotten around fast.' Roxanne thought to herself.
Her eyes swept over the Slytherin table this time she spotted the Tool. Roxane glared at the Tool. Sent another but very different glare at Draco Malfoy. Roxanne revealed that Draco gave a shiver. He then tried not to make eye contact with her. Roxanne set on her approach she sat two people down and waited for Draco to look at her. Malfoy started to wonder if Roxanne had gone had gotten the better of him. Draco looked up from his plate of food. And Roxanne was standing right behind him. He sighed in relief as he looked up and down the Slytherin table.
"TOOL!" she shouted Malfoy jumped hitting the table hurting himself. Malfoy spun around locking eyes with Roxanne. Roxanne had crossed her arms and standing weight more on her right foot than her left.
"yes mbarim?" Draco stuttered he glanced at the two sitting across from him for and Goyle gave pitting looks as they tried to participate in beating up on Roxanne but with a few well-placed punches on the boy's trying to hurt her the attempt stopped. both boys scooted away from Malfoy as if to say. "this is your fight man We are not getting involved." The sat there staring not moving both with stupid stares as Roxanne was interrogating Malfoy.
" What is she doing with Malfoy?" someone asked the person next to them. The female voice letting her know that they had an interest in the tool. Malfoy watched as Roxanne's honey brown contact lenses eyes flicked to the left pointing toward the hushed voices of the other people at the table. Roxanne recognition of pug face of Pansy Parkinson one of her roommates says it. Roxanne color contacted eyes then flicked right back to Malfoy. " find the person responsible Malfoy and I will probably leave you alone" from making your life a living hell at school Roxanne hinted at.
"I don't know where to start," Malfoy said
"If you fail I will let every female know that you are a -" she started. Malfoy watch professor snape as he walked up right behind Roxanne. "Failure of a ghost man professor."
"Hardly trying toms. mbarim. I do hope that you are in attendance for the potions lesson today. I have heard from some of the other teachers that you are skipping their classes."
"professor why bother attending the class that I already know the contents of and I know that I am not going to be here for all seven years," Roxanne said.
That was when the owls came in everyone looked upward as the owls screeched and flew to their masters. Roxanne spotted one dove from the grim reaper society Roxanne gave a shrill whistle that she learned at the Academy of grim reapers to call doves to yourself. The dove heard the cry and gave a glide down to her position and landed on her hand. She gave the small bird some affection by it nuzzling her finger. She placed the little bird in the cage she had just emptied sending the other dove on its way to the grim reaper society that and it made room for any other dove she may be receiving.
"and for what reason do you have a dove ms mbarim? when the rules were clearly stated that you could have an Owl or A cat or a Toad." Professor Snape said.
Malfoy snickered behind his hand finally she was getting what she deserved. As she looked at the potions professor with a stern look that professor McGonagall would give her misbehaving students. The dove that landed on her hand stared at the professor like he was the stupidest person on the planet.
"Professor Snape, sir. I believe you misunderstand," Roxanne said and patted the dove more as she spoke "The normal Owl transportation is not sufficient by my standards and the need for spatial world table is needed. The only time that we would require an Owl is in the case of a bad storm. Where it is rarely needed," she said as if her explanation made more sense ]" also in this modern times the dove is a very effective in the carrying of letters in broad daylight and most would not be as suspicious of a flock of doves in broad daylight that a flock of owls. I hear in the human world that after the dark wizard you called Voldemort vanished. It becomes quite hard to hide a society if it is done that way." Roxanne ruled the message off of the dove's back while the birdcage sat on the table.
" Now if you'll excuse me, Professor. This is a private matter And needs to be read where I am alone." and Roxanne walked away. Before Roxanne left the great hall, she gave an excellent glare at Malfoy and departed.
"Mr. Malfoy may I ask why she had a death glare at you.?" Professor Snape said.
"She had met, me before and it was the and day that she stabbed a man with silver hair, blood was everywhere," Malfoy said and shivered and held his nose. Not mentioning the need to use the restroom and also remembering the brutality if the 'fat' door. The professor seemed to understand that the man with silver hair was similar in their visit to the Undertakers residents though they didn't know that they had visited the Undertaker and Roxanne Mbarim on the same day.
"She does seem to have a brutal characteristic toward people like the Undertaker," Severus said to himself and continued walking on his way to the potions room. Malfoy seemed to remember 1 how he got to the point of being slammed in the face by a four-door and watching Bareilly modest girl brutally murder a man with a Chisel. He was taken to the undertaker's shop of burial preparation. For his great great grandfather. It was probably the same name that the professor saw get murdered in some way. But one thing was sure that everyone in the Slytherin house was going to potentially be killed by a yellow-green eyed eleven-year-old girl.
"Crab, goyal, tell everyone to not mess with mbarim she is under my protection. and my orders."
"And what if they don't," Rupert asked."
"They'll be answering to my father, Professor Snape, and Dumbledore," Malfoy said. As Roxanne returned with a sour face and seemed to find her way back to the seat that Malfoy opened up for her. The girl ate solemnly not moving much.
He cleared his throat, "Roxanne, what's the matter?"Draco asked the girl that he was protecting from everyone else. He felt like gagging, not being appealed to being nice, but he had to swallow his pride for this plane to work. The first step was getting her to be right next to him with the utmost loyalty and devotion that he could get out of the girl.
"Grell wants to come and check on me." Roxanne glowered Grell in all his clad red is one thing that would NOT make this experience any better. then she realized that Also in the letter William t spears had also written. "but I don't want you to think me weird if you think that I have homosexual parents."
"the name of Merlin are you talking about?" Draco asked. He was utterly confused Roxanne had never talked about family even his when she was terrorizing him.
"You know what nevermind that last statement." she said, "Wait why am I telling you Mr. Sutcliffe and Mr spears are coming." Roxanne looked away. How she wished she was given more warning, but in all honesty, she didn't know when they would be Arriving.
Malfoy then started talking to her. Roxanne was confused at what Tool was talking with her, so she listened.
"/hey Roxann I know we aren't on the best terms but would you be okay /with hanging out with Rupert Crabbe and Gregory Goyle and me, "Draco asked. Coming up next to her as they walked to charms with Ravenclaw.
" seeing as you're the only one that does and does not want to mess with me. It's a year. Fine" Roxanne said regretfully. "But only If I get to mess with your hair."
"Interesting request." Draco Malfoy said. "But it's a deal."
Roxanne then proceeded to mess with Malfoy's hair making it look similar to her friend Ronald Knox's messy hair. " there that's better now I don't want to punch you in the face every time I see you."
Draco seemed startled that Roxanne wanted to play suddenly with his hair. The charms class they were going over the pronunciation of spells and the pronouns and derivatives that were based off the Latin root.
Roxanne then proceeded to sleep in class. The Latin and ancient English was something that you can hear only so many times before you're just tired of it. How to hold your wand how to wave your wand. Then professor Flitwick dismissed the class early. Roxanne looked at her watch. Three. Precisely.
"Draco where are we going?"
"Didn't you know we have flying lessons today."
"AH," Roxanne said quietly, and she walked with the Slytherin posse down to the field but fell behind in the back off the group. Just so she didn't have to stand next to the prince of popularity. Instead, Roxanne decided to stand next to 'Judi' who was all too eager to talk to her. And Neville Longbottom someone whom she felt terrible for when professor Snape berated and pointed the finger at Harry for not telling him how to concoct a potion. Though, the thought of learning how to fly on a broom seemed enlightening.
Madam Hooch had given the instruction to tell the broom to come to there hands by saying 'up.'
The class followed the instructions Roxanne's broom followed her command after the third time of disobeying her. witch, she intimidated to obey her command
Madam Hooch told them to mount the boom it was simple enough, but apparently, Tool didn't know how to fit his butt to a broom, it's a broom for crying out loud. Madam Hooch gave the instructions to kick off the ground and then land. Madam Hooch was about to blow the whistle when Roxanne's broom lifted off the ground, it zoomed through the air. Roxanne's shoulder started bugging her when suddenly her vision blurred and saw the flash of green light and then she felt she was falling when Roxanne opened her eyes, but never saw underneath her right before impact it took only a moment for her to regain consciousness. Students swarmed around her, and she sat up madam hooch pushed through,"
stay down ms mbarim, is Mr. Longbottom okay?"
"I'm fine." Roxanne said, her head was throbbing she checked her head and felt the already healed wound all that remained was the blood stuck to her hair when the wood first opened. " never on the other hand" she looked over at him he looked to be in shock and clutching his wrist.
"Nevells' wrist is sprained, and he's in shock."
"I'll take you two to the hospital wing. If I see anyone on a broom, you will be expelled." madam hooch sad as she was leaving dragging Nevill and her to the hospital wing.
Roxanne knew she should have ditched as she sat in the Hospital wing Madam Pomfrey checked her over, and was surprised that Roxanne was already healed, madam hooch was also surprised as she had witnessed Roxanne's tumble off the broom and landing on Nevel in the Process. He was stuck with a broken wrist while her uncanny healing abilities kept her alive. There was a lot of blood, and it had ruined the borrowed robes. But that was fixed by the vanishing spell.
Draco came in to see her. Followed by Crabbe and Goyle.
"Mbarim are you alright?" Draco asked.
"peachy" Roxanne grumbled. and crossed her arms and sat in a cross-legged position.
"How did you survive that fall?" Draco asked.
"the same way that the Undertaker survives me throwing him into the wall." Roxanne mumbled, " I really need to figure out a way to kill that death god."
"Who's the undertaker? Rupert crab asked
" the most annoying person to ever deal with in your life, He's the reason I call Draco Tool."
Roxanne explained.
"Why tool," Gregory asked.
"Cause Draco was a tool the Undertaker was trying to use to get me to laugh."
"Um, also there are people here to see you." Draco started not wanting his friends to question her father. Roxanne then looked up just as she got assaulted by red.
" Oh, Roxy my baby I was so worried about you." Grell swelled. Roxanne was then smothered in girl's kisses. When she got the chance to grab grell's face she did and push him away. So there was a barrier of her arm.
"Grell I'm not in the mood," Roxanne grumbled
"Why not?"
"I'm just Not, Okay."
"Mr. scuttcliff" there was a stern voice behind grell" It was probably Mr. Speare.
"protect me Roxy." grell hid behind the smaller girl.
" Thank you Mr spears." Roxanne sighed
" I see that you are dressed in appropriate attire. but I don't recognize that roab as one of the ones that we purchased for you." Mr. Spears adjusted his glasses.
"Well, she's borrowing it from me," Malfoy said. standing in her defense.
"of which we don't require the details Sto," Roxanne said.
"Understood." Mr. Spears said. "it was a pleasure meeting colleges of my Daughter." and extended his hand to Malfoy
"it was a pleasure meeting her parents." Malfoy said as her sook the reaper's hand.
"Pleasure meeting you to Malfoy," Grell said.
Malfoy grabbed crab and goyal left her be. Roxanne was in the hospital wing with two of her superiors. They closed the curtains to give some privacy.
"the head of house said that you were skipping classes." Mr. Spears said.
"Sorry, Mr spears I find the classes uninteresting as I have seen them before."
Will adjusted his glasses and Roxanne.
"ms Roxanne if you do not perform up to the wizards standards then I will hold you responsible and cause you to return next year."
Roxanne shivered, William spears just loved to put you in situations to perform to the best of your ability and bend to his will. She bit the inside of her cheek.
"Will~ your scarring Roxy."
"Good day, Roxanne." will said and left.
Malfoy returned with her bag. And she got to work writing the essays that had been required. In full and complete sentences.
" your mom is" Draco face twisted in confusion like, he didn't know how to put it.
"Eccentric loud Lazy a Masicist beauty freak and leaps and any opportunity to have sex with Mr spears." Roxanne supplied " Or the fact that my 'mom' is a Man?"
The look on Draco's face was priceless, and Roxanne actually grind. At him. Roxanne was released as she had no injury to speak of so she went back to attending the rest of the classes for the day before dinnertime. Roxanne saw Malfoy go to the Gryffindor table and talk with Harry when he returned to the table Malfoy had a smirk on his face.
"Tool what did you do?" Roxanne demanded Draco pushed back his messy hair.
"I challenged potter toa midnight duel," he said sitting next to her crab sitting to her left Roxanne walked him with a light tap of her pinky "Ow." he shouted."
"I didn't agree with him, " Goyal said, " I thought we should have clocked him right then and there." Roxanne delivered a grape to his ear.
" and why did you make me your second" Rupert Crabb asked. " why not Roxanne?"
Roxanne thwacked Draco again"Ow he shouted again
" can you stop hitting me."
" No, I won't if you are going out tonight you won't just be in trouble form me you will be in trouble for detention as well."
"I won't get caught," Draco said.
Oh really?" Roxanne started " is it because you will tell the teachers and Filtch what you're planning while you are back in bed safe in the Slytherin house or you will be escorted by the faculty who will then arrest you for detention."
" no, I'll be careful," Malfoy said. As dinner time came to a close for the group, Roxanne grabbed Draco by the scruff and started dragging him away from Rupert and Gregory right to the caretaker and professor snape having a discussion.
"Professor, Filtch. Malfoy here has a confession to make."
" I umm ... Overheard some people overtalking about having a Midnight Dule in the trophy room." Malfoy said safely to exclude himself from the reference.
"I'll patrol there if there are any students out of bed." Fitch said. " they will be severely punished."
"Now was that so hard?"Roxanne said.
" no, it wasn't, " Malfoy said.
"You see setting people up for Failure is the Slytherin way," Roxanne said. Roxanne paused for a moment practically gagging as she said it. She was giving house advice to a stuck up prick.
The next day when the group of Slytherin walked into the great hall, Malfoy was surprised that Harry was sitting at the Gryffindor table with never Hermione and Ron. They seemed to be an in-depth discussion.
" he's still here."
Well, plans don't always go to plan Tool, for example, the Undertaker was trying to use you to make me laugh but as you already know he got a chisel in the head."
" and he's dead."
"Actually he was fine just like me and that fall yesterday," Roxanne said " should have killed me, but here I am." and she ditched him to eat the great bacon they where surviving today.
