The Mudblood's Daughter
Christmas ended far too soon, as far as Narca-Jane was concerned, as she boarded the Hogwarts Express. Luria perched on her shoulder, eyes closed and snoozing. The porter had already taken her trunk and put it on the train. She yawned, stretching, the late nights over the holidays taking their toll on her as she stumbled into the compartment Teddy was in, with Stella, Raine, Riley and Adalyn.
"Hey guys," she mumbled, flopping down next Teddy, her head falling into his lap. Luria squawked in indignation, before flying onto the shelf overhead, glaring at Narca-Jane. Adalyn shook her head in amusement of her friends antics, while Stella giggled and Riley whooped. Raine stayed silent, reading her book and scribbling on a piece of parchment.
"What are you doing, Raine?" Stella asked, peering over Raine's shoulder, and Raine blushed, before muttering a reply. "What are you doing? I didn't hear."
"My homework. I forgot to do it over the holiday, because I was trying to organise the first prank for 2009, you know, the last year before double digits, the year that JUST started," Raine stated, and Riley beamed at her, while Adalyn sighed.
"Already!? But we aren't even back at Hogwarts yet!" Adalyn moaned, ever the good one of their gang, and Narca-Jane quickly had a thought. She sat up, looking at her friends seriosly, which caused them to quieten down, and look at her with equally serious looks.
"That reminds me. We have no time for pranks, guys. We have a mission!" she stated, and the girls all looked at her wide eyed. Narca-Jane looked at Teddy, for his confirmation to tell them, and he sighed, nodding. She smiled, and squeezed his hand, before closing the compartment door. "There is something we haven't told you guys. Something really serious."
"What?" Riley asked shoving a Bertie Bot's every flavour bean in her mouth, and scrunching up her face in disgust when it turned out to be a bogey flavoured one. Narca-Jane bit her lip.
"Well, it's about Teddy. Yoou see, I'm sure you noticed, that he is..."
"Oh, is this about Teddy being a werewolf?" Adalyn asked. Teddy and Narca-Jane gaped at her, before shouting 'YOU KNEW!?' incredulously. Adalyn quirked her eyebrow. "Of course I knew. All I had to do was tie the fact that Teddy was sick every full moon, and the reading on Werewolves we did in Defence the Dark Arts, to find out the truth. It wasn't that hard."
"I knew as well," Stella stated, and Narca-Jane looked at her confused. "What? I have been friends with the two of you since we were three years old. I was bound to find out eventually. And when I did, I decided to wait until you two decided you wanted us to tell us, and not force you to."
"Oh... wow... Did you two know?" she asked Riley and Raine. They were just looking at her with blank expressions, before replying 'Nope, not a clue,' simultaneously. Narca-Jane nodded.
"Okay... well, I was researching, and I came across an interesting fact." she began to explain, when the compartment door slid open. Standing in the doorway was the Ravenclaw prefect, Katelyn Johnson. Her chestnut hair fell was pulled back into a ponytail, typical for her, and she stood proudly in a neat, ironed uniform, at 5'5. In her hand was a broom, and a clipboard.
"Hiya, guys. I'm taking the Ravenclaw register, so if the Ravenclaws in the room could say their names, then I'll be off," she said happily, and Adalyn stated her name. "Great, well, have fun on the rest of the journey girls, oh, and you Teddy," she added as an after thought, and she waved goodbye, before closing the compartment door. Narca-Jane sighed, and then the serious, determined atmosphere filled the compartment.
"As I was saying, I found out that werewolves don't attack ani-" Narca-Jane tried again, and the minute she got to the end of her sentance, the compartment door crashed open. Katrina Grammer, the Hufflepuff prefect looked into the compartment, her dirty blond hair pulled into a braid, her blue eyes darting about nervously.
"Are... are there any... er... Hufflepuff's in he-" she stammered shyly, and Narca-Jane began to get mad at the constant interruptions.
"NO! Now get lost!" she snapped, slamming the compartment door shut in the poor girls face. Katrina yelped, and then quickly moved on to the next compartment, shaking nervously. Narca-Jane fumed, until Teddy pulled her into a hug, trying to calm her down and succeeding. When she had finally stopped fuming ten minutes later, she finished telling them.
"-so I thought we could become secret Animagi!" Narca-Jane said, and Adalyn gaped, while Stell blinked. Raine, who had now moved onto her transfiguration homework, looked at Narca-Jane in astonishment, while Riley readily said 'Yes!' announcing her commitment to it right there and then.
"N.J, do you know how hard it would be for us to become animagi without anyone finding out? It's near impossible!" Adalyn hissed, and Narca-Jane sighed.
"I know that! But we have to try! And I know the perfect room for it!" Narca-Jane argued, when a knock came on the compartment door. Narca-Jane sighed, and shouted 'Come in!'. the door slid open and the Slytherin prefect, Narca-Jane's favourite, Lizzy Miggins sauntered in, smirking.
"Narca-Jane, Stella, glad to see your coming back. Just had a rather nasty run in with Silena, Silvia and Georgia about you, Narcy, darling. Apparently, you set Silvia's bed on fire. While she was in it," Lizzy nodded in approval, but then got a mock angry face. "Now, Narcy, no matter who you are, or how big a slut Silvia is, I can't have yo trying to burn your fellow students alive. When you get back to Hogwarts, I'm gonna have to move you into the prefects dorm, as you can't seem to get along with anyone other than Stella here. In fact, for Stella's own safety, I guess I am going to have to move her too."
"Uh, hello. I'm right here! You can aske me these things before you issue them!" Stella butted in, and Lizzy just quirked an eyebrow at her, before turning to Narca-Jane.
"No offence, Lizzy, but I'm not going to let a jumped up hussy try and kick me out of my own house. God knows Silena would love that, I personally won't do anything Silena want's me to," Narca-Jane stated, and Lizzy nodded curtly, as a sign of respect for her fellow Slytherin.
"Well, good then. So I'm off, gotta hunt down those Slytherins returning to Hoggy-Warty Hogwarts after the holiday and register them. What fun, right," Lizzy said, sticking out her tongue, and rolling her eyes. Narca-Jane laughed, and waved goodbye, as Lizzy closed the door. Adalyn rose an eyebrow.
"So when the Hufflepuff Prefect, or the Ravenclaw prefect comes round to do the register, you blow your top, but when it's the Slytherin Prefect, you have pleasent conversation? Hardly seems fair, does it," Adalyn mused, and Narca-Jane rolled her eyes, sighing.
"Please, I'm a Slytherin, what do you expect?" she asked, when the door slid open, and Isabella Longford, the Gryffindor prefect peeked her head in, long wavy brown hair tucked behind her ears, did a quick check over the people in the room, ticked Teddy, Riley and Raine of her list, and then closed the door again. Teddy smirked, and looked at Narca-Jane.
"So, are you going to tell us about this perfect room you found, or keep us waiting forever?" he asked, and Narca-Jane blinked, before going 'Oh' in rememberance, and quickly told them.
"It's the Room of Requirements," she stated, smiling. "We can train to be animagi in the Room of Requirements!"
Adalyn suddenly went 'Oh!' and looked at them all excited. They gave her confused, curious looks, and she sighed heavily and rolled her eyes. "I know somebody who is an Animagi! He's called Alberto Ferruccio! I'm sure if I spoke with him, he would tell me about it. Although, I might have to trick him somehow. But he should."
"Wait. Alberto Ferruccio? That quiet nerd in sixth year?" Narca-Jane asked, and Adalyn blinked.
"You know him?" she asked, and Narca-Jane shrugged.
"Sure I do. Lizzy tells me about him all the time. About the time she and some of the others hung him out of the Astronomy tower by his trousers," she said, brushing off as nothing. Adalyn gaped at her in disbelief. How on earth could Narca-Jane be friends with someone like that!?
"But yes, you do that. Raine, I want you to go to the library, and get any and every book you can on animagi without being suspicious. Riley, you can talk to Professor McGonnagle, she's an animagus. Tell her you want to learn about animagi for an extra credit assignment. She'll believe that, because we all know you are failing Transfiguration miserably. Stella... er... you can er... sit there and look pretty, keeping the teachers distracted," Narca-Jane said, designating jobs, and Adalyn crossed her arms, quirking an eyebrow.
"And what will you be doing, little Miss Pureblood?" she asked, and Narca-Jane smirked.
"I'll be setting up the RoR for us, and Teddy, he'll be recovering from the full moon that's in two days," Narca-Jane said, and the others looked at Teddy sadly. Adalyn nodded, and Raine smiled. Riley gave her agreement, and Stella agreed.
"We're in. For Teddy," she stated.
"For Teddy." Riley giggled.
"For Teddy." Raine sighed.
"For Teddy," Adalyn beamed, and Teddy blushed, before Narca-Jane pulled him into a hug, that the others quickly joined in with.
