This chapter is a continuation of Chapter Five. This chapter is from Ava's POV after saying goodbye to Py,
Six
.Ava's POV.
That was nice. I wandered up the stairs and corridor in search for Dormitory 6. I felt a little daze and yeah, I think I have a slight temperature. Goody. Ah, dorm 6. I knocked on the door and pushed open the door. I stepped in and all of a sudden, I was blinded by a whip of dark brown hair and bombarded by a pair of arms around me, pulling me into a hug. And the hug, well, let's just say if it continued, I could died right on the spot.
" Can't -.. ca- bre—breath- " I chocked.
" Let the girl breath, Ky. " an unfamiliar female voice rang from behind Ky. The pair of arms let go off me and straighten up. Oh, boy.
" Sorry. I know I haven't introduced myself properly yet but I just have to say this one tiny thing before I do. " she chimed.
An eyebrow of mine raised instinctively and I reluctantly nodded for her to go on.
" I LOVE YOU! I LOVE YOU! I LOOOOVE YOUU!!" she screamed her lungs out and hugged me again.
" Thank you so so so so much for being so LOVELY!! If you weren't so lovely!! My baby brother would NEVER EVER fall for you!! Thank YOU!!! " she screamed a whole lot louder. I wonder where that voice come from, she does have a tiny frame after all.
If every Slytherin had a certain snake that could describe them, Kyra's definitely a Python. She squeezes you to death like a mouse. I stood there, completely stunned by her sudden outburst. She had a full blown smile on her face. I've never seen somebody this happy before. After what seems like an eternity, she finally did let go of me. Damn. I think I need theraphy.
" Errrr….You're welcome? " I slurred, idiotically.
I breath more lungfulls of much needed oxygen and found my composure again.
" Oh! I'm Kyra Lestrange by the way! And sorry for giving you the evil eye on the train earlier. " she chirped enthusiastically.
" I know and it's alright. I understand. " I replied, slightly laughing.
I saw an empty behind Kyra's head. The bed was between the sleeping Lyra's bed and the girl who Av pretty much owe's her life too. I walked past Ky and strode over to her before extending a hand at the girl.
" Avalyna Garnier. Thanks for letting me live. " I said, making the first move.
" No problem. It's pretty much a duty these days. Ky has been taking in too much sugar lately. " she shrugged and smirked at Ky.
" Veronica Zabini. You can call me Ronnie or Veronica. Whichever. " she added, adding more sugar into her tone and shaking my hand. Ronnie was pretty. She had large hazel and almond shaped eyes with a slightly tanned skin. Her hair was chestnut coloured. She didn't really looked Italian, more Spanglish to me to be honest.
" Zab- "
" That's right. I'm that bastards beloved half-sister."
" Half-sister? "
" Yeah, that slut I call my mother had a thing with some other guy. Sometimes I wish I was adopted. "
Errrr..Awkward. I didn't know how to response to this. My palms were sweaty and my brains stuck. I chuckled awkwardly and sat down on my new bed. I took off my boots and kicked them under the bed. I didn't really had a chance to look around the room since Kyra interrupted that part earlier. Where's Kyra anyway? I looked around the room and I liked what I saw. The room was decorated lavishly with greens, silvers and blacks. The beds were four posted and made of dark Mahogany with black satin hangings. The bed sheets were also black satin. Comfy. The walls were painted a dark shade of green and there was a door that lead to the bathroom. I could get use to this.
" So… you got Py all wrapped around your fingers, haven't you? Impressive. " Ronnie said.
" What? No. No. I don't even know the guy that well. " I said, shocked and wide-eyed at her accusation.
I saw crossed-leg on the bed and by my left side, I saw Lyra waking up from her sleep. Her hair was a total mess and she had smudged eyeliner all around her eyes.
" Whoah. What happened to you? " Ronnie directing question at Lyra who was groggily sitting up.
" W-Wwh-What? " Lyra mumbled back.
" I bet that Bellmont bitch put some sleeping potion in you juice. She does always keep some vial in her robe. I think she did it to get back at you for that incident at Draco's party. What's happening in the world these days, eh? " Ronnie said, scowling.
Ky burst into the door with a large black book in her hands. It looked really old. Wait, I take that back. It looks ancient.
" I swear those first year girls are a nasty bunch of whores. It's their first day and they already have a half naked dude in their room. And did I mentioned their bra's?? It's all over the place! Terrocious, I tell you! " Ky snapped angrily before placing the book in front of me.
The book was dusty and the leather that bounded it was falling off.
" Here. Write your name in the book. It's Slytherin girls tradition. It dates back to the founders era. If you look through it, you might even find people related to you. " Ky explained, back with her happy tone. Talk about Multiple Personality Disorders.
I saw a quill on the bed side table and grabbed it along with a bottle of ink. I dunked the quill into the bottle and wrote my name in the book.
As soon as I was finish, Ky shut the book and threw it onto her bed. I followed the book as it flew in the air and landed on Ky's bed. There was an empty bed beside it. Oh wait, it isn't empty because there was a male boxers sticking out from under the mattress.
" Who's bed is th- " I was about to ask when all the girls said in unision.
" Vera's. " all three of them said.
" Oh. "
" You got that one right. " Lyra said, recovering from her dizziness.
Kyra and Lyra sat down on my bed and exchanged looks with each other.
" You know…Py isn't the only one falling for you. " they both said. Oh, great. Is this the part where they start saying the same things at the same time and start finishing each other's sentences?
" Who else? " Ronnie asked, a smirk on her face.
" Draco ' Jealous' Malfoy himself. " they both said again.
I laughed and pulled myself together.
" You gotta be kidding me?? Draco? Come on. He's in love with Miss Vera there! " I said, clearly denying what they said.
" Oh, please. You saw he way he looked at you on the train. He totally blew his cover away! " Ky said.
I could feel my cheeks burning up again. Me and my blushing.
" Anyway, what is it about Py falling madly in love with her? " Ronnie asked, changing the subject and saving my life once again. It's like she just know what's on my mind! Is she a legilimens or something?
" Merlin! Py is so in love with Av here! He liked you the second he laid eyes on you! " Ky practically shouted. Besides the loud voice, where in the world does she get all that positiveness and energy from?
" Tell us.. What did you do when we were all heading to the common room." Ly asked calmly unlike her sister.
I can't help but let a smirk escape at the thought of him. Ky made an " AHAKZ!" and I rolled my eyes in surrender when I was about to contradict. I chuckled and looked straight at them. There's no use lying now.
" Nothing. We just talked while sitting by the lake. That's all nothing much. " I said. I didn't lie. Really. I just left out a few details. I'm allowed to do that right? Right?!
" She's lying. There's more! Look at the sweater. It's his. " Ronnie said, raising an eyebrow.
Seriously! She's got to be a Legilimens!
" OK OK! We talked about perverted Merpeople. He was lying and after we talked about other stuff, he suddenly put his arms around me – Ky gasped and giggled – and I pushed him off. And about the sweater, I was shivering slightly and he lend it to me. " I said, trying to be calm and simple but of course, failing miserably.
" Why'd you push him off ? " Ly asked.
" To get back at him for scaring my about the perverted Merpeople. " I answered, simply.
" Nice. " she agreed, laughing.
I laughed and glanced at the opening door. It was Vera. Her hair was a slight mess and so was her clothes. She turned to us who were looking at her.
" What?! " she snapped.
We all turned back to ourselves and exchanged a looks, clearly understanding what she's been doing. We shrugged it off and ignored her.
" I still love you know that. " Ky continued.
"…right. " I said confusingly and furrowed my eyebrows.
" What Ky's trying to say is that.., well, our baby brother, he had a bad start with love. His first love cheated on him. After hexing the blokes ass off, he found out that he was a muggle. He pretty much vowed never to love again after that. " Ly explained.
" It took the poor boy at least a year to get over it. He was really depressed. " Ronnie added, looking at her toes.
I couldn't help but feel really bad for him. A guy as nice as him, obviously doesn't deserve that kind of treatment. If they guy she cheated on was like a pureblood or maybe some halfblood, that'll be still acceptable but a muggle? That's just too… low.
" Can't you chattering female baboons just shut the hell up!!! Unlike some people, I'm trying to get some beauty sleep here!! " yelled Vera from her bed.
" Ooops.. Sorry, Queen Vera. We'll quiet down now. You go and have your beauty sleep now. You need it bad. " sneered Ronnie.
The girls and I stifled a laughter at Ronnie's sarcasm. There was a "HMPH! " and stamping of feet. I turned to see Vera walking over at Ronnie. She had a finger pointed in Ronnie's face.
" What's that supposed to mean, Zabini? " Vera snapped back.
" Oh, nothing that concerns that ' pretty ' little head of yours, Your Ugly Highness. " Ronnie added casually.
" Watch that mouth of yours, Zabini before I get Blaise to hex your ass off to oblivion. I know he's been itching to do that for a long time. "
" Really? Do you really think threatening her will work, Bellmont? And why can't you hex her ass off into oblivion on your own?? Afraid to break a nail ?" Ly defended Ronnie, raising a questioning eyebrow in the process.
" … or maybe Vera just doesn't have a brain to do it on her own. That explains everything. " I blurted out. I didn't know where the hell that come from, but hey! It felt good.
Vera stood there, slowly putting down her finger. She was speechless, you could tell she was desperately thinking for a comeback.
" Right on, girl! " Ky cheered, high fiving me.
" WHATEVER. " Vera bellowed and jumped onto her bed again, drawing the hangings tp a shut.
We exchanged looks and burst into laughter, high fiving each other in the process and clutching our stomachs.
" Goodnight, Your Ugly Highness. " Ronnie yelled back.
" I think we better hit the sack. Tomorrow's the first day of classes." Ly said a matter-o-factly.
A mumble of agreement was heard as Ly and Ky climbed off my bed and went over to theirs. We all started to change and got ready for bed. I took out my satin back PJ's and changed quickly. Looky! I match the covers! I hoped onto bed and sighed. Mumbles of goodnight echoed through the room and the lights went off. I rolled onto my side and pulled the covers over my head. I tossed and turn to get used to this bed when I finally did. I was slowly drifting off to sleep when .. all of a sudden, someone was snoring.
I pulled my hangings open and turned to look at Ronnie who was still awake. She look at me understandingly and nodded like she just remembered something.
" I forgot to tell you, Queen B there snores. " she said.
I told you!! She could read minds!! I nodded and pulled back my hangings. I sighed and rolled onto my stomach, pulling the covers way over my head as Vera continued to snore loudly. I grabbed a pillow and put it over my head, hoping it'll cut off the noise.
" Wonderful… "
I sincerely dedicate this chapter to hellishlygood for being such a darling!! Thank you for the reviews! I'm so happy! Lolx. I may continue with the whole DracoxVera pairing but I think it has to end somewhere. Well, that's what I think. Gimme some ideas. I'd love to hear my readers thoughts. Do R&R too! That's all I have to say, see ya!
