We left off on Alice's first day of learning. It's been a week since we last met her. This is her first weekend here with her friends and she is going to have a busy day!
Alice's POV
Today was my first weekend here. I'm hoping to spend it with my three roommates plus Ginny. Eliza was already up, she might go to bed early but she wakes up early too. She was readying another book, probably about Quidditch.
Eliza was going to spend the day with Elijah at the Quidditch field. Even though we were only first years and we couldn't try out, there is an opening for chaser next year. Someone from our house team is leaving next year so she wants to start practicing as soon as she can. Eliza has tough competition but we all know with practice she will out fly them all.
Maria was going to hang out with Sam today. They might have to go to the Library to catch up on their work since they haven't been doing it during the week.
I was going to find Ginny. She's been talking about Tom all week and she said today I can finally meet him. I couldn't wait. He sounds so nice. He makes Ginny happy and is her best friend in her house. I'm glad she has someone even if he is in a diary.
My time with Draco you ask? Well, we haven't kissed yet or been anywhere near kissing. He walks me to Herbology everyday though, which is very sweet of him. Harry tries not to bring up Draco anymore but I think he is trying too hard not to.
Hopefully, I'll see Draco today. He has quidditch practice, since he is the Slytherin's new seeker. No one outside his house knows yet except me.
I looked at the clock. He was probably already there. After I got presentable I started to walk to the Great Hall. Ginny was not a morning person so she will be up a little later than me. I didn't seeEliza either. She must be with Elijah on the field.
I had some toast with pumpkin juice and quickly walked to the field. I saw something was wrong right from the beginning. There was a crowd around someone. The person was on the ground and you could see another group of people laughing. Before I could go up to see, I saw Eliza come down and rush she saw me and ran in my arms.
"What's wrong?"
"I told Elijah that I was a muggle-born and he, he…" She said through tears. "he said he no longer liked me and called me a filthy mudblood and to never speak to him again."
I didn't know what mudblood was but it must not be a good thing.
"It's ok, lets go back to the dorm ok?" I said to her, "Maria and Sam will be there and we can hang together."
I pulled Eliza away so we could see each other face to face. "No boy is worth your tears." I told her seriously. It seemed to calm her down and we walked off the pitch. I looked behind me and saw Harry and Hermione carry Ron to a small hut on the grounds. I'll ask them what happened later. Eliza is my first priority.
When we got to the dorm Sam and Maria were in the shower. I picked up one of their Witches Weekly magazines and flipped threw it for some ideas to cheer Eliza up.
"Eliza, you need a make over!" I saw in my most girlie voice, sadly it made me sound like Maria, poor Maria.
She laughed weakly and came over to me. "How are you going to do that?" She asked smiling almost.
"Well, I honestly don't know but Sam or Maria probably has make-up somewhere." I said "Trust me, we don't need boys to have fun."
Elijah's POV
"Hey" I said. I was hanging out with Eliza today, going to practice flying. My friends were teasing all night but its ok. They can laugh all they want.
We woke up really early because quidditch practice's start early so why not get used to it, you know. I also wanted to spend as much as I could with her.
We were just talking when our family's came up. I told her about my life. I was the oldest and only son out of 5 siblings. My parents were well to do purebloods from Africa. We came to England because my parents wanted us to have a better education. They might not agree with letting mudbloods in but they new about Slytherin so they thought we would be ok.
They had no idea about the sorting, I'm just glad I got in. My parents would be angry if I didn't.
"Enough about me, what about you?" I asked her
"Me? My life isn't that great. I'm not rich. I lived here all my life. My parents are farmers and we try very hard to live to grow enough to sell so we have food for the winter. I'm not from a magical family. I only –"
"You're a muggle-born?" I cut her off.
"Yes but I don't know –"
"I can't believe you would trick me like that you filthy mudblood. I don't ever want to see you again."
I stormed away from her. When I looked back I saw her hugging one of her friends…Alice I think? I don't care that girl tricked me. I thought she was pureblood since only a pureblood could fly like that. I don't understand. Purebloods have always been better than half-bloods and defiantly mudbloods. I don't understand how a mudblood like her can be good at something if anything. I've always learned that they are inferior to us but Eliza is best in the class. I have to ask my parents. I'm so confused. My beliefs, everything I've been taught is being undone.
I decided to walk to my dorm and get a quill and some parchment. I started to write. I ignored all the wolf howls from my friends.
Mother and Father,
I write to you on an important matter. As my parents you taught me the dangers of the world. You taught me how to walk and talk, how to write. You guided me all thought out my life. Now that I am in school I need your wisdom more than I ever had.
You taught me that our blood was pure. Only a few of us in Africa was left so we moved to England. I've met many purebloods here and I'm very thankful for the move but that is not what I am worried about.
You also taught me that purebloods were better than all others. Half-bloods and muggle-borns were less magical, less fit, less powerful, less talented. You taught me this was how you could find purebloods even without asking or researching them.
I never doubted you and I never will but I doubt myself.
I met a girl, Eliza. We are in some of the same classes together. She is in Ravenclaw, nothing special until we got to Flight Class. She out did us all. Eliza was the best. I thought that proved her to be a pureblood. We quickly became friends, if not more. She is or was the girl of my dreams.
Today we went out to practice together. We were talking about our lives. I found out she is a muggle-born. I didn't think it was true but it was.
How can this happen? It is not possible.
I am so confused right now. My views are being wronged and doubt it starting to set in.
I need to hear from you as soon as possible.
Your loving son,
Elijah
I walked to the Owlery, lucky I was the only one there. I got my great horned owl and attached the parchment to his leg. I watch him fly away bring my doubts and my worries to my parents. I hope I hear from them soon.
Alice's POV
I left Eliza in good hands. I forgot all about Ginny and I had to go to her right now. I looked all over for her but couldn't find her. I saw some Gryffindors, they were going back to their dorm and decided to follow them.
I got to a portrait of a fat lady. They said something and she swung open revealing a tunnel. It must be their dorms.
"Ummm, excuse me miss but I would like to speak to someone in there. Do you mind letting me in?" I asked the portrait.
"Sorry hun, but you have to know the password."
"O well, could you give someone a message for me?" I asked
"I'm not your personal message service." She said with a huff. "Now leave and come back later."
I decided to sit in one of the chairs nearby waiting for someone to come over. When are saw three shadows. It was Harry, Ron and Hermione. Ron looked awfully sick.
I rush forward, "Are you ok?"
"Yea, what are you doing here?" Ron asked
"I'm waiting for someone to give a message to Ginny for me. Tell her I'm waiting."
"I'lll go get her." Hermione grabbed Ron and they went in the portal after whispering the password. Harry stayed behind.
"Hey" Harry said
"Hey"
"What happened to Ron?" I asked. "He looks awful."
"His wand back fired on him." Harry explained. "He was trying to curse Malfoy but because his wand is broken it cursed him instead."
"Why would he want to curse Draco?"
"Because Draco called Hermione a mudblood. A mudblood is a person-"
"with no magical blood, a muggle-born." I answered. "It's a very rude thing to say. Elijah called Eliza that this morning. Was that you on the pitch? I never got close to seeing anyone."
"Yea we were there. So was Malfoy, he bought his team new brooms. Did you know he was the new seeker?" Harry asked harshly.
"I did, why?" I don't like where this is going. I hate it when Harry gets in his "Malfoy mood". He changes into a not so nice person.
"Why? Well, did you know he had to buy his way in! He doesn't even have any talent!" Harry went on.
I decided to sit down. If Ginny didn't come soon I would be stuck here on my first weekend listening to Harry go on about this.
"How do you know he didn't buy them brooms after the fact he got picked, as a thank you gift?" I challenged him.
"It's Malfoy. I don't know what I have to do to open your eyes, Alice!" Harry yelled. "He isn't who you think he is!"
"Then who is he? Huh, Harry? Who? Because I'm getting tired of this. Draco hasn't said one thing about you to me. Nothing and you are always ranting about him. All I see is this Harry. I'm done."
Ginny walked out with Hermione. I quickly grabbed Ginny and hurried off. I turned back to wave at Hermione who was now consoling Harry.
I felt bad but I just didn't want to deal with it anymore.
I filled Ginny in on everything and why I wasn't there with her at breakfast. She understood completely. I was relieved. I didn't want her to be mad at me right now.
We went into the Library. There were a table and two chairs away from everything else. Ginny looked over her shoulder before she brought out the little thin black book. It was empty like she said but she took her quill to it and started to write.
Hello Tom, its me Ginny. I brought a friend.
Nice to see you again. Who is this friend?
Her name is Alice. I told her about you and she completely understood.
Thank you Alice for understanding. Ginny must have already told you about me. I am Tom, Tom Riddle.
I felt like I was going into Ginny's private world and felt uncomfortable with it. I also started to feel a little bit dizzy, weird.
Alice is just like you. Can I let her write in you?"
Only if you want.
Ginny gave me the book and the quill, dipping it in ink for me. She smiled "Go on, he won't bite, not like he can."
I put my quill down to the paper.
Hello, I am Alice Sterling.
Sterling, you don't say? I think I had the pleasure of meeting your parents.
O, Really?
Yes. They were wonderful people. I'm sorry that they are gone.
How do you know them? I quickly wrote back. This boy was so interesting. I could see why Ginny loves to talk to him. He was so polite and caring, had a addicting personality.
Ginny and I spent the rest of the day talking to him. He knew which of us was writing at the time and answered us warmly. I couldn't help but wish he was more than a book but a human. It would have been so wonderful. I wish I could enchant a diary to make it speak at me.
We looked out the window and saw it was getting dark.
Time to eat, Good Bye
I hope we get to talk again.
We closed the diary and Ginny put it away. Ginny went back to her dorm, saying she was no loner hungry which worried me a little but she told me she had food in her dorm and she didn't want to waste it.
I walked down to see Eliza with Sam and Maria. Eliza looked much better and happier. She was talking to one of Lance's many friends.
They caught my eye and waved, I waved back and I sat down. Helping myself to a cream of pumpkin soup. I don't know why but I don't think I could eat anything else. I took a piece of bread and started to dip it in. The soup was exactly what I needed. My head felt better and it made me feel warm inside.
"Alice, what did you do with Ginny?" Maria asked while helping herself to a pumpkin pastry. Every turned to see what I did today.
"Well, we went to the Library and read for a bit. Talked about school. That stuff." I shrugged. Ginny trusted me and I wouldn't dear break it.
"I heard you and Harry got into a spat again." Sam of course brought it up.
"We did."
"What was it about this time?"
"The usual." I shrugged. They all knew what that meant. It was normal for Harry and I now. It was beginning to get better and I thought her was past it but he was not.
Maria and Lance left to go for a little walk on before heading for the Tower. Eliza went up after she was done eating. Saying she was going to get ready for bed.
Sam was still flirting with a couple of boys.
I had to go send a letter to Jared again. We have been writing back and forth all the time now. Every other day if not every day I get a reply from him. It is so sweet. We mostly talk about his school since I'm not supposed to tell him about magic.
Draco walks me to the Owlery. It's our nightly routine. He never asks about the letters. We usually talk about school and such. Today I have an important question to ask him. Even though I think Harry was telling the truth I want to hear Draco's story. It always help.
Draco came to our table and gently tapped me.
"Are you ready?" he asked.
"yea, I have the letter right here." I said. I got up. "Bye Sam. I waved to her. She smirked and waved back continue to talk to the guys.
"I have to ask you something." I said as we begin to walk out of the Great Hall.
"Sure, you know you can." Draco said.
Harry's POV
I saw Malfoy walk over to Alice. They were going on their usual trip to the Owlery to drop off their letter.
~Flashback ~
"Then who is he? Huh, Harry? Who? Because I'm getting tired of this. Draco hasn't said one thing about you to me. Nothing and you are always ranting about him. All I see is this Harry. I'm done."
Before I could explain to Alice, Hermione came out with Ginny and Alice took off, grabing Ginny by the sleeve.
"Harry, what happened?" Hermione knelt down beside me.
"I keep messing up with her." I explained. "Every time I see her, I see her with Malfoy and I can't stand it. I don't see why she just can't understand."
"O, Harry. Malfoy has her under his spell. You can't do anything. Just be patient. She will come around, for now give her space. It's all you can do now."
~End of Flashback~
I know Hermione is right but I can't help but feel jealous. She needs me now more than ever. I should be guiding her.
I saw them walk out of the Great Hall together. Alice looked more serious than usual. Maybe Alice did listen to me a bit.
Draco's POV
"Sure, you know you can." I said.
"Well, I know we usually don't talk about him but I think we need to today. I hope you don't mind."
"Its fine. What do you need to know?"
"Harry said you called Hermione a mudblood. Is that true?" She asked
"Yes." I told the truth. The look on her face was pure shock.
"But, but why?"
"I shouldn't have. I know but you weren't there. I'm guessing Harry told you about the quidditch problem." She nodded. "Well, I bought the team new brooms as thank you gifts. I am a second year Alice. I shouldn't have to tell you how hard it is for a second year to get a position on their quidditch and I did. I was very grateful and I felt the best way to show it was to get our teams brooms. I didn't mean for it to be a problem."
"That doesn't explain you saying that to her." Alice said but less harsh.
"Hermione said I bought the team with the brooms, that I had no talent. I just couldn't help it, the words came out. I'm sorry Alice." I stopped and looked at her. I knew she has forgiven me.
"I'm sorry too."
"Why?"
"For doubting you." Alice said shyly.
"It's ok. You have every reason to doubt me. I brush a strand of hair from her face. Pulling her closer to me. I cradled her face in my hands. Her eyes were closed, enjoying the warmth of my hand. I bent down and touched her lips, kissing her. I felt her hands go on my back pulling me closer. Everything was perfect.
We pulled away. I felt her blush against my hands.
"Let's go." I said. I held my hand out to her. She took it and we walked to the Owlery together. It was the best night ever.
OMG THEY KISSED!
I think I might have to change this story to mature… since I do like sexy themes. *wink* *wink* I know she is 12 and he is 13 but I sadly know people who have had their first sexy time at those ages.
I don't know yet. Tell me what you think?
Don't get to review!
