Chapter 7

"Harry!" Angel groaned, as Harry and Ron swatted her with one of the Common Room pillows for again falling asleep in the Common Room.

"In our defense the Twins said they were going to wake you with a dung bomb exploding if neither of us nor 'Mione woke you within the next ten minutes." Ron shrugged, and flopped down on top of Angel's legs effectively pinning her until Harry shoved him off and told Angel that Hermione wanted her upstairs in five minutes.

Angel groaned, "Why must I wake up so early!"

"Our dear Angel, she is Hermione Granger who never misses a class and is never late. Oh by the way she say your Uncle Tony's Owl flew in this morning with a letter. Oh and what is up with it trying to eat everything in the Common Room?" Ron sarcastically stated but only turned red when Hermione yelled, "I HEARD THAT!"

"How the bloody-" Angel started but Ron and Harry simply shrugged and Angel headed upstairs.


"You fell asleep downstairs again." Hermione chided Angel who rolled her eyes.

"Won't happen again, Mother Dearest." Angel teased playfully, earning a pillow to be thrown at her. Angel laughed before heading over to her bed and picking up the letter that Smiley had, careful not to touch the potentially dangerous owl.

Dear Angel,

Why is it that whenever something happens I am always to blame? Never mind don't answer that. I'm still working on finding which broom is the fastest. Once I have it, I will be giving it to you so you have your own broom. Also I would love to know if you are going to try out for Quidditch, I'd LOVE to see a game... or maybe let me know when a Quidditch Game is like an international one so I can go. That would be wonderful. -Tony

DO NOT give Tony anything regarding Quidditch, Angel, or you will be grounded for a month. That means no friends over, or shopping with Nat and Pepper. -Dad

Please don't give Tony anything involving Quidditch. Its bad enough he wants to find your school to learn how to cast a spell. Did we mention that he has been torturing us to teach him about anything? We agreed to teach him Ruins... maybe that will help. -Remus and Loki

Please whatever you do, Angel, DO NOT give Tony anything. He already is trying to convince the Daily Prophet to deliver to us. -Pepper

Look, Angel, I'm really sorry for not replying a while and Fury has been having me on missions constantly. I promise I'll be there at King's Cross to pick you up with your Dad. -Natasha

Angel looked at the letter again and then scribbled a response before running downstairs and snatching Ron's Quidditch Weekly from him before running back upstairs and attaching it to her letter and sending it off with Smiley. She knew she would end up grounded but hey, Tony wanting to see a Quidditch Match!? He would probably pay for the entire Weasley Family to go with them as well, along with Harry and Hermione. Not unlikely, considering Tony even told Angel he liked the Weasleys, they were a lot of fun besides the fact that Fred and George got on Natasha's nerves.

Once Smiley left Angel grinned at Hermione, before bouncing around the Dorm to get herself ready for the day. She was ready just in time for breakfast, and Hermione practically dragged her out of the Dorm Room, because Angel said she wanted ten more minutes of sleep. She walked through the Corridors with Harry talking wildly about his Quidditch Practice that day, and how Ron wanted to go as well, but decided not to considering he was struggling in Charms and Hermione had offered to tutor him and Angel.

After breakfast Harry went off to Practice, and had to return with the Gryffindor Quidditch Team. And in one of the many courtyards the Slytherin Team waited. Angel saw Draco smirking, then the two Quidditch Teams met and Ron stated, "This can't be good." The three went up to the two teams. And Angel heard Draco sneer something before glancing at Hermione.

"You'll be next Mudblood." Draco spat, and Angel's anger rose suddenly. But Ron beat him to it.

"Eat slugs!" Ron screamed but then flew backwards, and started to puke up Slugs. Angel saw Draco laugh and she pulled her wand, pointing it at his throat she growled, "Apologize, Malfoy!"

"And why would I do that?" Draco sneered.

Angel was about to send an offensive spell that she learned from Loki at him when Hermione and Harry said, "Angel! We need to get him to Hagrid's!"

Angel glance back at her friends before putting on all the charm she had, which wasn't much, as she said, "You're lucky day, Malfoy." She put her wand away and helped get Ron to the Hargid's.


Hagrid opened his door upon the loud banging that Angel and Harry were doing to the poor wooden door. Angel zoned out as she sat down next Hermione who was next to Ron, who was between Hermione and Harry. The four sat across from Hagrid, and Hermione broke down. "'Mione you alright?" Harry asked.

"Yeah. Fine..." Hermione tried to stop the tears but it didn't work.

"There 'er wats 'der problem?" Hagrid asked, as Hermione stood up trying to pull herself together.

"I think it was because Malfoy called her... what did he call you?" Harry asked looking at Hermione.

"A Mudblood. It means I have dirty blood, because I have Muggle Parents." Hermione cried.

"You don't have dirty blood." Hagrid stated and pulled the crying bushy haired girl into a hug.

Ron tried to talk but started to puke up another slug, and Angel winced at the sound... it was extremely gross to her, but yet somehow cool at the same time. She felt bad for thinking that it was somehow cool, but she didn't feel bad when he threw up a rather large green slug, and her nose scrunched up by being slightly grossed out.


Later that day Angelica had received an Owl from Draco asking her to meet him in the Astronomy Tower at eleven o'clock sharp. She wasn't sure but responded with, Fine, anyway. She made sure Hermione was asleep before sneaking out of the Dorm and out of the Common Room heading towards the Astronomy Tower. She climbed the steped to the top and in the dim light could make out his bleach blonde hair, "What do you want?" She snapped, crossing her arms.

"Were you actually going to attack me, earlier?" Draco questioned, a lot closer than she thought and she took a step backwards.

"You're lucky Ron needed to get to Hagrid's." That was the only answer she gave him.

"Not good enough, Barton. Besides Potter and Granger could have taken him." Draco responded.

"Ron is my friend as well as theirs. I wasn't going to abandon them just to hex you... besides I can always have the Twins out after you." Angel smirked at the thought of Draco with lime green hair and pink robes similar to what the Twins had done to Snape once.

Draco snorted in disagreement, "Those two are nothing but blood traitors."

"They happen to be my friends."

"They're still blood traitors."

"What am I then? I am the daughter to a Witch and a Master Marksman. Along with being the neice to: two Gods, a super soldier, a man with a big anger management problem, a man with a battery in his chest, a Master Assassin, and the CEO of Stark Industries. What does that make me?"

"A Half Blood. Born to a Witch and a Muggle. Either way you're a halfblood, Barton." She knew he was smirking and glared at him, even if it was dark and her eyes now fully adjusted she couldn't really make out his face.

"I don't care, what I am. I don't care that I'm a Half Blood, Hermione is a Muggleborn, Ron is a pureblood, or Harry is... well whatever Harry is. I like what I am, and I'm more than proud to say that. You on the other hand, can only say what your daddy taught you. Bet you don;t even know the meaning love and friendship."

"Don't mock me, Barton." Draco warned.

"I won't just don't expect me to be so kind in accusing you of your pureblood ways." Angel responded before turning on her heel and leaving.


Okay so I've decided to remove: Alecto, not really sure why I had her in the first place... I think my brother and sister talked me into it lol. Anyway the others are still up, even the neutral way is up. Please vote! Let me know if you liked this chapter, and please don't be afraid to tell me what I need to improve on. Also I just realized... I think I should have a Beta, so I'm first going to ask my readers that if you are a Beta and would like to Beta this story, actually the rest of the series, please let me know through PM. That would be wonderful!

Thanks for Reading!
