A/N so it's been like a month since i've posted a new chapter but i've been through weeks of docs and exams and now the school year is done. the chapter was sort and i'm sorry, writing right now is really hard. In this chapter the first attack happens. Hope you enjoy!
The Dungeons weren't as bad as Annabelle had thought they were going to be. Like everyone else, when she heard the word dungeon, she imagine chains, spiders, cobwebs, and Anna kind wished there was a dragon. She had always thought dragons are cool. It was dark though; the halls of the dungeons were lit by candles, which made a dim light. They soon stopped at a stonewall and before Tom turned around to face everyone, "Through this wall is the Slytherin common room and dormitories." He explained. "There is a password to get in and it changes every fortnight."
Tom turned around and said in a loud, clear voice, "Gens Rusés." The wall opened and revealed the Slytherin common room. The room had greenish lamps, which gave off a green light, and chairs, button-tufted, or couches that were either cover with green patterns or made of were a lot of tapestries with people from history or that's at least what Annabelle thought. The windows looked at into a body of water, which she knew was probably the black lake.
Annabelle told Albus and Scorpius goodnight before following the rest of girls to the rooms. There were doors along the sides of the hallway and each of them led them to different rooms where Annabelle and all the other girl's stuff. She walked into the room and ran towards the bed with her lounge and Nightshade. Annabelle ran towards the bed and picked up Nightshade and held him tight in her arms. She heard a cough and turned under to see a small girl about her height (which she didn't think was possible because Annabelle was really small for her age) with dirty blonde, tan skin, and amber eyes was standing in the doorway.
"Hello." The girl whispered, so quietly that Annabelle could barely hear her. "I'm Isabelle Mayfair."
"Oh I'm Annabelle Strange." Annabelle held out her for Isabelle to shake. Isabelle gave Annabelle a weird look before she shaking her hand. "It's nice to meet you, Isabelle." Annabelle said which made Isabelle look like she was going to cry. "Are you okay? I'm sorry I didn't mean to make you cry." Annabelle said in a panicky voice. She tried to pull Isabelle in for a hug but Isabelle walked away. "No I'm fine. Just please don't me Isabelle."
Anna was about to ask why but she figure since that saying her name almost brought her to tears, asking why would do much more damage. "What should I call you then?" She asked. Isabelle thought for a second before saying, "You can call me Belle."
Belle went over to the bed across from Annabelle's and unpacked quietly. Two other girls soon came in one was named Florence Nott and Antoinette Thomas. They were more talkative and less freaked out then Belle was. The girls unpacked and when Anna was done, she began writing a letter to Colin.
Dear Colin,
I've been here half a day and I'm already missing you. Nightshade misses you too. Hopefully he won't try and run away to go back to you and mom. It's great here though! Scorpius and I are in the same house, which is Slytherin. Two more years and you'll be here too. Maybe in Slytherin or maybe another house but I'll still love you the same way.
I'm starting class tomorrow and I can't wait to tell you everything about my classes and the people. I miss you so much and I love you. I'll see you at Christmas.
Love, Anna
Dear (Evelyn) Mum,
I've made it here safely and I'm all settled and I have already made a friend. His name's Albus and he is thesweetest and nicest person ever. We were all sorted into Slytherin like you,uncle Draco, and Aunt Astoria. I miss you and Colin already but I'll be honestI don't miss working at the shop. Everything pretty much beats sitting around at an old shop doing nothing. I share a room with three girls Isabelle Mayfair(who goes by Belle), Florence Nott, and Antoinette Throne. They seemed prettynice right now but I haven't fully meant them.
Take care of Colin and yourself. I hope you and Colin can survive without me. I'll see you at Christmas.
Love, Annabelle
"Whom are you writing to?" Florence asked me. "My brother, Colin, and my mother." Annabelle told her. "I promised them I write to them when I got and was settled in." Annabelle folded up her letters and placed them in the nightstand next to her. "You must be close with your family." Florence said, flopping onto her bed. "Just with my brother. My mother and I's relationship is messy." Annabelle sighed, "What about you and your family?" Anna asked.
Florence shrugged her shoulders, "It's okay." Annabelle nodded and lay down on her bed. Antoinette looked me up and down, making Annabelle feel a little comfortable. "I'm sorry what did you say your name was?" She asked.
Annabelle cleared her thought, "I'm Annabelle Strange." Antoinette smiled and nodded herhead, before turning way to face Florence. "Can you believe that the Potter was sorted in this house?" Antoinette said, jumping on to Florence's bed. Annabelle couldn't help but rolled her eyes. Gossip wasn't really her thing. "I know! How do you think his family will react?" Florence asked. "Do you think that they'll disown him?"
"Maybe, but wouldn't that still be like bad press for the Potters if they did that?"
"No, disowning kids is your families thing." The two girls and Annabelle and Belle looked over at each other, not knowing why the other girls where laughing. "Um… what?" She asked. Antoinette and Florence chuckled a little bit more, "It's nothing. I've just had three other siblings that have been disowned." Antoinette said as if it was completely normal. "My twin brother, Bryson and Griffith, and I are the last one that haven't been disowned so far." Antoinette said. "But Griffith and I have a bet that Bryson will go first." The two laughed even harder then they where laughing before.
Annabelle couldn't believe them. She laughed at the fact her siblings had been disowned and she already believing that her brother would the next one. Who would act this? Who would say stuff like this about their family?
"What about you, Belle? How's your family?" Belle bit her lip and looked like she was going to cry again. "Um… my dad's getting remarried and my mum died almost two years." She said. "But it's okay. I don't mind Marybeth, she nice." Annabelle moved to her bed and gave her a hug. "I get that my dad died three year ago and my mum's got someone else too." Anna told her. "It's getting better through." Belle nodded leaned into her hug.
Antoinette gave Anna a weird look, "Your dad die about three years?" Annabelle nodded, "Is that where you got that scar on your forehead?"
Annabelle stiffen, clearly she hadn't covered it well. "Yeah."
"Cool, that's very Harry Potter. Now what about that black strip in your hair?" Annabelle gritted her. The scar and the black strip weren't her favorite thing to talk about. "No, this is genetic. My dad had hair like mine." Antoinette continued asking her question about her dad and her family and the all happened to be Annabelle's least favorite things to talk about. "If you don't mind, Antoinette," She said, "I really don't want to talked about any of this stuff."
Antoinette nodded her head, "That's okay. I totally get it."
They all stopped talking and got dressed for bed. Annabelle threw on one of her giant sweaters that basically swallowed her body. "Goodnight everyone." Anna said.
"Goodnight guys."
"Night."
Annabelle heard her Belle mutter something that she could assume was goodnight. She got into the bed and got comfortable before drifting off to sleep, hoping to dream of good things.
Annabelle didn't dream of good things. Well Anna could only assume that it was a dream.
She was walking down one of the many the hallways of Hogwarts or it wasn't really her. Annabelle was watching something happen in someone's or something's mind. She didn't know whose eyes she was looking through but Annabelle had a feeling that something bad was about to happen. She continued creeping down the hallway and suddenly came upon a tower. Anna went up
It was the Ravenclaw Tower.
She continued up the spiral staircase until she came across a door with no nob or keyhole. Annabelle pressed her hand against the door and it swung open. Annabelle continued into the common room, which in her dream, the Ravenclaw common room was much different from the Slytherin common room. There was a lot more blue then green and the ceiling was cover with painted stars. There was a statue of Annabelle could only assume was the founder of the house.
Annabelle wanted to look around more but she was pulled towards on of the hallways that leaned to the dormitories. Annabelle continued on into one of the rooms.
It was the girl's dormitories.
Annabelle was continually pulled through the dormitories until she came to a stop at one of the beds. Sleeping in the bed was that Margret girl from the sorting. "Yessss." Annabelle heard someone said. "She'll do just right."
Margret was then dragged out of the bed, waking her up. She opened her mouth to scream but something came out. A hand and hurt the girl in the face, leaving scratches on her. Annabelle couldn't believe what was happening but she was scared and wanted to wake up.
Wake up, she thought.
Wake up!
Wake up!
Wake up!
Annabelle woke up in a panic. She was sweating and her breaths were fast and short. "Are you okay?" Someone asked. Annabelle looked to see Antoinette sitting on her bed staring at her. "Yeah, I'm fine." She told her. It was just a dream, she thought. "Why aren't you asleep?" Anna asked. Antoinette nodded her head quickly, "Yeah it just new bed, new room. I just need a little while until I can get used to it."
"Oh well goodnight."
"Goodnight."
Annabelle lay back down on her bed and calmed herself down. It was only a dream. She went back to sleep and didn't have the dream again which she was glad about. When she woke up, it was still early and the only one up was Belle, who was already dressed in her uniform. "Good morning, Annabelle." She said. "How did you sleep?"
"Fine," She lied. "How about you?"
"Alright." Annabelle nodded before she got up and dressed in her new robes. She and Belle walked downstairs into the common room, where they found Scorpius sitting next to Albus, who had his head in his hands. "Hey, what's wrong?" She asked.
"Nothing. He's just panicking." Scorpius explained. "Who's your friend?"
"I'm Belle Mayfair." Belle said, held her hand for him to shake. She seemed a little bit more confident today then yesterday. "I'm Scorpius Malfoy, I'm Annabelle's cousin." Scorpius took Belle's hand and shook, "The panicking boy is Albus Potter." Albus waved at Belle, who had a shocked look on her face. "I'm in the same house as a Malfoy and a Potter." She said. "Awesome!"
After they got Albus to start freaking out, the four walked to the great hall from breakfast. When they got there, Annabelle glanced over at the Ravenclaw table and she saw the girl. It was Margret and she had scratches on her face.
It wasn't a dream.
A/N so I've been spoiled on the cursed child so there is no way i'm following that. so here's a longer chapter again. it's not as long as the others but hey it's better. I would watch out for those Throne kids who knows what they're up too. so I'm going on a trip and my parents labeled it technology free so I won't be able to post anything.
