A/N: Once again, I don't own the Cannon characters. I make no money on this. Also, I still don't have a beta, so sorry if this seems a little weird and forced, but I'm learning.
The next morning, a beautiful, snowy owl flew in. Nobody recognized this particular owl; it looked kind of like Harry's, but not exactly. Of course, it didn't take long to realize this owl belonged to Christina, as it landed in front of her with a reply from Chelsea.
Dear Christina,
We all miss you here. You and David, our friendly neighbor practical jokers make school tolerable. With both of you gone, it's very boring, and monotonous here. I'm also sorry to hear that things are not going well. And, are you seriously not kidding? They were just on the boggart banishing charm? What the hell do they learn in that school? Must be some really dumb idiots. WTH! Are you FRICKIN kidding me? Nobody had told Harry any of that stuff? Wow, they must be protecting him. How nice of them to be looking out for Harry, and not you. LOL. Well girl, do try to keep your head up, and don't trust anyone. Please tell David that both of you should keep kicking this Malfoy kid's ass. He sounds like a pretentious, rich stuck-up, and deserves to be on the other side of society for once. Well, g2g. Time for potions. I think we are doing drought of the living dead today (guess I've got to call my inner thespian, and remember that McBeth rhyme. LOL). Ttyl
Chelsea
PS. Have you guys gotten any alone time yet? Have your roommates gotten pissed at your constant PDAs?
David was reading over her shoulder. They both erupted in laughter at the part about Malfoy. Christina had told her how big of a prick he was. Then the both groaned when they realized they would not be having as much fun in class as their former classmate was, but laughed again when they realized they had toned down their relationship so far.
"Wow, if that ain't an eye opener, then I don't know what is," David remarked, and they left the Great Hall holding hands.
Just before reaching their potions classroom, David pulled Christina into an alcove, and they started making out. They heard the rest of the students making their way down the stairs, waited till they passed, then straightened their clothes and went to class. Unfortunately, they were a minute late
"How nice of you to join us," Snape remarked in this familiar drawl. "I see that your attire is less crisp than it was when you left the Great Hall this morning. Care to tell us how that is so, and how, even though you were the first to leave, ended up being last, and late for my class?"
"Well, professor, you see, last year, David and I were a couple."
"Everyone wanted to be like us. We had a strong relationship. Christina was the star seeker on our house team, while I was the star keeper. We had it all: close friends, popularity, teachers would almost let us get away with murder," David continued
"And then we were forced here. We wanted to kind of hide exactly how close we were, in case you put us in different houses. But the letter I just got from my best friend sort of jogged our feelings for each other, and we decided, 'why the hell not' so we just had a quick makeout session in an alcove."
"And, were you two…" here Snape paused. He wasn't sure he wanted to continue that sentence. Somehow, he had a feeling he already knew the answer, judging my their smug looks. "… sexually active at your former school?"
Christina and David shared a glance with each other before, both said, in unison "yeah. You got a problem with that?"
"Well, Mr. Johnson. Miss White. In case you haven't realized, Miss White is not yet 12, and you Mr. Johnson are 15. Do you two not see a problem here?"
"Look, you don't know anything about us. You don't understand anything. I might be young, but I know so much more about life than you realize. I've had to grow up. Fast. Besides, back home, we are both sophomores in high school. And it's not like David is my first. And we're in love."
"You can give us detentions until we die, and it won't stop anything. I'd suffer through any lame-ass punishment, just so we can be together," David added.
"Then please, enlighten us. I'm sure we're all dying to know about your life," drawled Snape
"Not if you're going to mock me. Basically, a few things happened two summers ago. I moved to Orlando. Became a celebrity over night. Found out I was a witch and the Slayer, all at once. Realized I couldn't just disappear to go to wizarding school, so the headmaster there devised a plan. He basically cloned me. The actual me is here, but a second me is back in Orlando. Back there, I was able to skip four grades of school, and entered high school last year. We kinda have a foursome pack. There's me, and my best girlfriend Lacey. David and Lacey are a couple, and then David's best friend is Aaron. He's my boyfriend. We're like, a pop star couple. And before you ask, they know. They gave us permission."
Here, Snape couldn't help but butt in. "So you both have a significant other back home, yet you enjoy being a couple?" He was obviously mocking them.
David was starting to get really ticked off at his tone, and Christina wasn't doing much better at controlling her temper.
"Neither of them can ever belong to this world, and the know that, and have accepted it. Before I can really decide which I love more, I have to decide which world I love more. If I decide to live the rest of my life in the muggle world, then it's Aaron, and will always be Aaron. But he can't be here. It would be far too dangerous, and I couldn't live with myself if I'd be the cause of his death, no matter how indirectly. So, in the mean time, it's David, and he knows this. Quite frankly, Aaron prefers that if I have to be in a relationship with someone in this world, he'd rather it be his best friend: someone who he trusts."
"And Lacey prefers that it's someone who she trusts: her best friend. My girlfriend and Christina's boyfriend realize that neither of us is very good alone. They know we can't stay chaste while we're stuck here."
"But they know that we love them more than anything, and if it were safe, they'd be with us always. Since that's not an option, this is the next best thing."
"But our 'other selves' are with them now. Living out a normal, teenage life."
"David, we don't have 'normal lives'. You're a Congressman's son, and I'm a pop star. There's no normalcy there. We spend our summers and weekends at parties. We party all night, getting piss poor drunk, and somehow manage to get home before we pass out. My 'quote-unquote' guardians aren't much older than me. Ash is only 22. Yeah, they lookout for me, make sure I'm not lying in a ditch somewhere, but it's not like I have a lot of supervision. Your dad's gone all the time too. We're rich, spoiled brats. We get any and everything we want. We go to a fricken private school. Not to mention we're wizards, and then I also have to save the fucking world from bad vampires. Get real, we're not normal. Never have been, and never will be."
By the end of here tirade, Christina was piss off. "Are you ok? I'm sorry. I know you're still pretty pissed off about the whole suddenness of everything last year."
"Just leave me the FUCK alone. I don't need this SHIT right now." She turned toward Snape, "I hope you're happy. Now you know my fuckin' life... What? No snippy comment? No little 'you're just like your father: a rich snob.' Well, I've had it up to here," and she raised her arm up to her throat, parallel to the ground, "with your fucking comments. I'm just done. I sincerely hope they fire you soon, so I never have to see your ugly face again!" and with that, she stormed out of the room.
David didn't dare follow her. He didn't know what set her off like that. He knew the subject was a little touchy. She wasn't exactly a happy camper when all that was thrown at her all at once. As much as she enjoyed being a wizard, he sensed that she was hiding something from him, something big, and he was determined to find out what.
A/N: well, what do you think? Christina's past is clearly not all amazing as she sometimes wants everyone to think. She's dealing with a big secret. What do you think that is? Reviews would be loverly! I'll respond to all reviews that ask a question!
