Thankfully, I didn't have any nightmares that night. Ok, so I woke up at 7 (a big improvement considering I used to wake up at 5 back at camp) and had breakfast and all of that morning stuff. I met up with Leo and we went to Care of Magical Creatures.
Now, I've seen all types of monsters or creatures, so I thought I would be bored out of my mind in this class, but I was sorely wrong. When we got there, standing right in front of me were 20 horses, only they had horns and they were majestic as hell.
"OH MY GOD THEY'RE REAL THEY EXIST LEO UNICORNS LEO ARE YOU SEEING THIS?" I yelled like a child on Christmas, which made him cup a hand over my mouth.
Don't get me wrong, I've heard that there actually are unicorns back in Camp Jupiter, but c'mon. Who wouldn't freak with a unicorn standing right in front of them? I'm only human.
"Shut up before we get in trouble." Leo said in a quiet, serious tone. Well, as serious as Leo can get.
"You only say that because you've already seen one of them." I whined which made him chuckle. "But they're pretty cool, aren't they?" I whispered to him and he smiled.
"They're awesome."
"Top of the mornin' class." Hagrid said as he approached us from the woods. "I'm thinkin' yeh already know what yeh'll be studyin' today." He said, patting a white one. "Well, unicorns are very disobedient and free spirits, so yer assignmen' 's ter get them to obey yeh and mount them if yeh can. Well, choose one and 'ave fun."
I ran so fast I think I made a kid fall. I chose a black one and automatically hugged her/him.
"Tha' one's a girl." Hagrid told me. "'Er name is Maggie."
Before I did anything, I decided to look around and check on how everyone was doing. A bunch of kids were falling to the ground and being kicked, and I suddenly didn't think unicorns were that cute anymore. I turned to Maggie.
"You're not doing that to me, right?" I asked her, and got a neigh in response. "I'll take that as a no."
Unfortunately, as soon as I put some of my weight on her, she nearly bit my finger off.
"Hey!" I said while wiping my finger on her fur. "Ok, let's try this one more time."
I tried flinging my leg over her, but she walked away and I fell on my ass. I knew there was no use. I looked around and turned back to her.
"Okay now, I'm going to do something and I don't know you can understand what I'm saying but if someone finds out, consider yourself unicorn on a stick, capisce?" I whispered to her while I patted her mane in a passive-aggressive manner. "You will not throw me on the ground, or try to hurt me in any way. You will follow all orders I give you, because I need to be good in at least one class." I said clearly but quietly as I got on. "There we go." I said and waved to Hagrid.
"'ery good Ms. Kennedy! 'ery good!" He said and smiled. "Class, ev'ryone try ter do what she's doin'. 10 points to Gryffindor." The Slytherins glared through my soul.
"She cheated." The blonde ferret squealed. "I can prove it."
"Oh please⦠What do you think I did? Some kind of spell to control her?" I smirked knowingly.
"Obviously not, you would need to know how to use magic to do that." He barked.
"What's that supposed to mean?" I said, rolling my eyes, trying to look aloof, but my body tensed a bit.
"I don't think anyone here has seen you do a spell. I doubt anyone has even seen your wand."
"And what's it to you?" I said as I got down and came closer to him. I felt Leo grab my arm and pull me away, put I pulled it back. "Why would I not be magic?"
"I don't know, maybe you're working for someone."
"Oh, you're one to speak, Malfoy." A bucktoothed kid called.
"Nobody asked you anything, Longbottom." He shouted at the kid.
"I don't recall asking you anything either." I barked. "And yet, you blab on incessantly."
"Besides," He added, ignoring me. "It's not fair to any of us. You didn't even try. I don't care what you did, you cheated somehow. It's not fair for us who actually put effort into things; we're the ones who should get the extra credit."
The way he said that made me question for a moment if he knew about the charmspeak and if he had seen me, and suddenly, a chill went down my spine. I decided to ignore it.
"I would tell you just how stupid you sound but I don't think there are any words accurate enough. Try doing something right, and then you can bitch on about not getting any points for your house or whatever."
"M'kay that's 'nuff." Hagrid said. "Class over."
I yelled some other insults at him but only got ignored, so I finally calmed myself and went to Leo's side.
"Hey kiddo, you ok?" He asked. "That guy's an asshole. You know you just need to say the words and he'll turn into toast."
"I know Leo, thanks." I smiled and walked toward the bucktoothed kid.
"Hey, thanks for defending me there, I've heard its hard standing up to the little brat." I said. "I'm Brielle Kennedy, by the way, but you can call me Brie."
"No problem, and I know." He said shyly. "I'm Neville Longbottom."
After that whole scene, I calmed down while talking to my friends near the lake. I couldn't help but feel bad about the whole incident, I mean, I really did cheat. People were all supporting me and stuff, but they actually shouldn't had. I tried to forget the subject, but unfortunately, that was not in the universe's plans.
"Guys, we have a problem." Annabeth said as she came closer to us. "Look what I got from Professor Flitwick." She said, pointing to an opened letter. "It says we need to go to Dumbledore's office like, now. Apparently it's really serious."
Another chapter! Sorry for posting everything so suddenly, I'm just really loving to write this. I just checked my views/visitors and wow! This is awesome, thanks for all the support from the reviewers and everything! I realize this is going very slow-paced, but trust me, it's only in the first week. After that, I'll start doing it a bit more Harry Potter style (only writing the highly relevant parts).
Again, please favorite, follow and review if you like it, so I can write lots of more chapters! Thank you, and I hope you enjoyed!
