I got inspired to write, so I did. I just realized how many errors are in the previous chapters. I will fix it at some point, but for now, just know that I am not a complete idiot, I just usually write chapters at 1 in the morning. Therefore I usually am not thinking about accuracy. Anyways I do not own Wizards of Waverly Place or Harry Potter! Enjoy!
T.J's P.O.V
The first month, or however long I had been here, had been a living hell. Well, maybe that's a bit of an overstatement, but none the less, it wasn't a pleasant feeling. The Slytherin house didn't exactly accept me. Relentlessly, they picked on me; they would hex me, trip me, any immature thing that I would have done when I use to be at the top. All of it was Alex's fault. By some miscalculation, she'd become a sort of top dog. Maybe that's not the correct terminology, but people respected her far more than they did me. Everyone saw me as foolish and idiotic, I'm fairly certain those are the same but I don't give a damn at the moment. No one respected me, basically. I was failing all of my classes; not to say I ever was a scholarly person, I never really tried, but still. Being left out and pretty much spit on feels really crappy. I'm fairly certain you can imagine why, though. Anyways, as far as classes are going; I use to try to constantly crack jokes and be the class clown, but it's gotten me nothing but glares, so I've just decided to fall into the back. Fade into the background; if you will, which is nothing like my normal personality. If you know me, you know I'm a trouble maker. I don't hurt people, I just like to spice life up and do what I want. I should get things my way and I don't like it when I don't. In fact, I even charmed my parents so I could freely use magic; which didn't work out so well. Coincidentally, Alex ratted me out for that too. When I first met her, I thought she was gorgeous and a chill person, but I was soon proved wrong. Things started off well, but soon went down hill. Ever since then, Alex has been on my tail and made sure to never let me get away with magic. So much for her 'I don't care' façade! That was such a lie; if she wasn't allowed to get away with anything then neither was anyone else. At least, that's what I can gather.
Anyways, my latest goal has been to fade into the back, work on my classes and magic then prove everyone wrong. I'll prove all of the Slytherin jerks that I am not a waste of space; that I could hex their asses into oblivion, if I wanted. No one would mess with me, and I would go back to my old status. In fact, my hope is to get above that Malfoy kid with bleached hair. Clearly all of it is an act; I can see right through him, he really is just a coward. Like I use to be; but no more. I've changed in this last week for the better. I won't hurt anyone, but I will prove myself and intimidate others. Though some spells I recently discovered are rather tempting. They were in a spell book I found. I'm not sure what the title is, since it's not in English, but the spells are intriguing and powerful. I just happened to find it in my bag one day. While I'm not entirely sure how it got there; I think it might be karma trying to help me, or taking pity on me. Not that I mind; it's been a confidence boost. Knowing that I'm no longer completely defenseless is a comforting thought. I haven't practiced the spells yet; I still need to find a place to practice. I think I might've found a good one though.
When I found the book, I was pretty creeped out at first. The cover has some creepy symbols on it; I'm pretty sure it's all dark magic, but that's kind of what I've been hoping for. The fact that it was just in my bag also made me skeptical. The whole thing seemed like some kind of plot, but after weighing the consequences for an hour, I decided that there were more pros then cons. As soon as everyone was in bed, I snuck out to the common room to open the mysterious book. Once there, I took a seat on the couch and just ran my fingers over the indentations along the edges. Finally I opened it up. The feeling of fear filled me as I did; it was as if an evil spirit or omen had been released into the room. My initial response was to quickly slam it shut, but a voice in my head told me to press on and read the text. When I had calmed myself down, I scanned the pages. There was so much information to take in! So many spells and charms that I was just itching to try out, but I restrained myself; now wasn't the time. There was one spell that I was really curious about though; it was called the imperious curse. For some reason, there were many warnings about it that I thought might be good to look into for the future. But the ability to control another would be so helpful and amazing. Still, I eventually closed it because it was getting late and a chill ran up my spine when I heard an indistinguishable voice come from the book.
Alex's P.O.V.
"Alex, get your lazy arse up! We have got to get going! We're going to be late if you don't move! You know, you are lucky I am even staying here to get you up. Everyone else has already gone to get food, but no, I just had to be a nice friend," and thus, Daphne's usual morning rant began.
While I had become a bit of a better student, my sleeping habits had not changed at all. Getting up in the mornings was still a bit of a task in itself. And every morning Daphne would rant on and on about how many other things she could be doing besides trying to force me out of bed. "Are you even listening to me?" I snapped out of my thoughts at her raised voice. I rolled my eyes. While I did appreciate the fact that she cared enough about me to pull me out of bed, I was always annoyed with getting up.
"I'm up, I'm up!" I groaned as I began to sit up. If I didn't respond to her at this point, she'd do something else I would not appreciate, like pour some water on me, open the curtains, or do some sort of magic to make my bad force me out. The one morning that Daphne had left the other girls to wake me had been rather awful. I think they enjoyed it too much; they messed with my bed and made it come to life and nearly eat me and they dropped a spider on me. I told Daphne to never do that again and she just told me to wake up for once.
Finally, I rolled out of bed and went into the bathroom. Quickly, I fixed my hair, makeup, and got my robes on. With that, I went to the Great Hall with Daphne. As soon as we got in, we headed over towards the Slytherin table. We really didn't have a choice; as Slytherins it seemed law to sit with only your house. Anyone who did otherwise was a traitor. While I did think it was completely ridiculous, I went along with it, though I did wave over to Harry and the Weasley twins. Daphne caught it and gave me a look. "You don't want everyone to know you're friends with them, do you?" she snapped.
I looked over at her and shrugged my shoulders. "I guess not, but Harry's just so hot," I nearly whined, under my breath.
Daphne was use to this now. The two of us had become best friends, so she knew everything there was to know; all about her secret meetings and crush on Harry. Daphne merely rolled her eyes. "You are so blunt about everything. Don't expect me to cover up for you on everything, because sometimes you are just asking for trouble," Daphne warned. "But enough about that, why don't you just try to be forward with him," she paused before adding, "not that I support your relationship at all…"
"Uh-huh, sure you don't," I remarked nudging my friend. "I would, but I've already dropped such subtle hints! I think it's a lost cause," I admitted with a sigh. It was always so annoying when you had to really spell it out for a guy, because they're too dense to figure it out and take initiative. I never was the girl to ask a guy out. Sure, I'd start the flirting, but it just wasn't like me to ask a guy out.
"Then just drop him! He isn't worth it. Try and seduce one of the twins, you seem to like the-"
"No! They're like brothers to me! That would be like dating Justin! Ew!" I stuck my tongue out in distaste at the thought. Sure, the twins were rather attractive, but I'd already come to think of them as brothers. Granted, they were much cooler than my own, but still. Dating them would just be awkward and they were such players. Not that they knew what the word meant; I used it around them a lot, when I was referencing to them, but I refused to explain its meaning. It was fun to watch them beg to know.
Daphne just rolled her eyes and sighed. "Justin is pretty attractive though," as soon as she let the comment slip, she covered her mouth. Meanwhile, mine fell.
"Ew! That's gross! He's not cute at all. I didn't know you had a crush on him." Suddenly an idea crossed my mind. "Hey Jus-" but a mouth was placed over my hand.
"Don't you say anything," Daphne threatened. Justin looked over at the table and gave the two of us a questioning look. "Hi Justin! Ignore Alex," she quickly replied as he rolled his eyes and turned around. "Git," she murmured to me as I put on an innocent face.
Guys, please review, they inspire me! Also, I know my writing style sort of differed in both passages; please let me know which type you would like to see more of. More reviews means quicker updates! I plan on writing about Max and Justin next chapter, so stay tuned.
