Astrid awoke the next morning feeling refreshed and ready to begin her second year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. She finished getting ready and then woke up Padma. Padma was a little upset at being woken but then she realized how hungry she was, and quickly got ready for her first day back. Once Padma was out of bed Astrid walked over to Catrina's bed to wake her up also, the problem was that Catrina wasn't there.
Astrid told Padma she was going, and then rushed down the stairs to the Ravenclaw common room. In the common room she saw Catrina sitting in one of the large armchairs by the fire, she was reading Hogwarts a History. As Astrid walked up, Catrina began talking to someone. When the other person replied Astrid realized who it was, it was the girl she had met the night before, Luna Lovegood. Astrid sat down in the chair next to Luna saying, "Good morning."
"G'morning, Astrid."
"Hello," said Luna still feeling slightly uncomfortable around Astrid.
"Luna, I'm sorry about last night. I will definitely try not to have it happen again. Catrina, what are you reading?"
"Oh, just an old rumor about a secret room in the castle called the Chamber of Secrets. Luna is telling me about how her father told her it has been opened before."
"So, why don't you believe her?"
"Well, honestly many people don't take anything that I say seriously because my father is the editor of The Quibbler."
"The Quibbler what's that?"
"Wait, you mean I forgot to bring a copy when I came over this summer. Well, anyway it is a magazine that prints rather umm...far fetched..."
"It is not far fetched, everything in it is true."
"Well, you must admit that some of the stories could not possibly be true."
"Which ones aren't true? I believe them all."
Astrid you had been trying to stay out of the argument decided that she should stop it. "Umm...It's getting late shouldn't we head down for breakfast?"
Catching on, Catrina quickly added, "Yes, we had better go I'm famished."
The three girls headed down to the Great Hall to claim their seats. After they sat they were joined by Padma, Cho, and Cho's friends. After they finished breakfast they got that year's schedule. Then mail arrived.
Both Catrina and Luna received a copy of the Quibbler, thus Astrid saw her first copy. The argument from earlier started again at the table. This time Cho and some of her friends even joined in to discuss the matter.
"The Quibbler?" asked Cho and Luna nodded. "Everyone knows that it is all nonsense."
"Nonsense!?!? Name one thing that is nonsense! My father personally checked the credentials of all of the stories."
"Well Luna this one is talking about a creature called a Lartseht."
"Lartseht? That is a real creature I went to a farm over the summer to help my father research them. And so you all know the Lartseht is a small, white, feathery horse that eats only berries and other small fruits."
"Wait what does your father have to do with the Quibbler?"
"He is the editor." finished Lana as-a-matter-of-factly.
The argument probably would have continued except at that moment a loud voice filled the Great Hall. The voice didn't sound familiar to Astrid and she looked around to see where it was coming from. The source of the voice was a large red envelope which was now shaped like a giant mouth. It was yelling at a red haired boy at the Gryffindor table.
From what the voice had said Astrid knew that the boy was Ron Weasley and the voice was that of his mother. She also knew that the rumor about him and Harry Potter flying a car to school was true.
Trying to start up conversation again Astrid started asking people about their schedules.
Everyone noted that their schedules were similar to their previous year's. The only exceptions were the new classes that some of the students were taking that year.
Suddenly filled with interest Astrid asked, "Does anyone know who our new Defense Against the Dark Arts Teacher is? I wasn't really paying attention last night."
Luna who had been making an effort to stay unnoticed perked up at that comment, "Oh, the new teacher is Gilderoy Lockhart."
With that statement a majority of the female population within hearing distance perked up at the mention of his name.
"Gilderoy Lockhart? Alright, that's all I needed to know."
The other girls noticing how little Astrid seemed to care asked, "Don't you know who Gilderoy Lockhart is?"
"No! Should I?" she replied sarcastically.
"Well for your information Miss Know-it-all, he is the winner of Witch Weekly's Most Charming Smile Award for five years in a row-and he is so dreamy-just look at his books and see what he has done for yourself." stated one of Cho's friends.
After that breakfast was subdued, in fact the girls who had been involved in the argument decided to have nothing to do with the others, and only talked to their friends. Most of them realized they didn't want to get expelled on the first day back because of an argument getting out of hand.
The second year Ravenclaws first class was potions.
"Professor...umm...my potion just turned pink." said a very nervous Hufflepuff boy.
Professor Snape rounded on the boy and then turned to Catrina who had been working next to him. "Weren't you paying attention to what he was doing? You should have told him not to add the unicorn tail until after the lizard tails."
On the very brink of tears Catrina whispered, "I'm sorry Sir I will pay more attention next time."
"You had better hope so because next time it will be points from Ravenclaw...be glad that I am in a good moo...."
Astrid could not stand to see her friend in such obvious pain any longer so she stood up and walked over to her interrupting the Professor. She tried to comfort Catrina telling her that it wasn't her fault and that Snape was being a newt. Astrid even forgot that Professor Snape was standing directly behind her.
"Ahem...Miss White would you please take your seat."
Astrid was still too preoccupied to pay attention to him until Catrina looked up and saw Snape standing there, and then Astrid followed her gaze directly into Professor Snape's eyes.
Astrid was feeling slightly bold at that moment and said, "I'm sorry Professor, what were you saying before I interrupted you?" Then she added a small smile for dramatic effect.
Professor Snape was taken aback, "I was just saying that I was in a good mood." Then because of the laughter coming from the other students, he realized that Astrid had just made fun of him in his own classroom. He would never allow a student to get the best of him. "And Miss White for your antics you will receive a detention meet me in my office after class for the information pertaining to it."
The remainder of the class crept by. Astrid still was not afraid of Snape when she entered his office.
"Miss White if you ever do something like that again it will be points from Ravenclaw and three detentions...but as I was saying-as you said-before you interrupted me...I am in a good mood, therefore your house will not lose any points."
"And what about my detention, Sir?"
"I have thought about it, and you will be washing dishes in the kitchen- no magic of course-Saturday night."
"Yes Sir" answered Astrid as she exited his office, and hurried towards her next class.
**Sorry, forgot a little that I wanted to put in. Needed to fix it for the next chap to work.
