A girl screamed "Isobel!" I jolted up my arm burned a little as I stared out into the barely lit room, "Hermione?"I called then I heard it a hiss and the slithering of something moving towards me. My heart jumped into my throat as I looked around the room was so dark "Isssobel." I shivered. I bolted from my bed as I felt almost like a long finger tracing the back of my neck, "Issobel." Called out the snake like voice, I tripped as I back away from the bed something had my legs. I thrashed trying to get the viper off of me.
I hit the ground hard the stone floor was cold compared to my overly warm body, I sat up from the ground and looked around for the snake nothing was around. Then I realized my sheets where wrapped around my legs making me look like a pale mermaid. I scoffed and yanked and pulled my way out of the sheets scowling the whole time, "Well don't you look comfy, I would use a silencing charm the next time you start to cry out guys names." Lavender said standing in front of me her arms crossed and a snotty expression on her face.
"What name?"I snapped as I fought with the covers, I was feeling angry and embarrassed. Lavender was not helping my bad mood, "No Tom, Oh Fred, Oh George." She copied me I scowled "Really you're pathetic."I stated getting to my feet pulling up the loose sheets. "How am I pathetic?"She asked I really didn't want to stoop to her level so I smiled "Do I really need to answer that one." I made a pained face and walked off to the showers.
"Ah Ike just on time!" Fred called as I came down the girl dorms straightening out my skirt feeling a little bit bare "What is it?"I asked eyeing the twins who looked devious. "What made you think that?" George stated smiling innocently well as innocent as the twins could be "You called me Ike." I said as I the moved around hidding me from Percy who walked into the common room. "Have you seen Isobel." He stated to the twins who had there backs to me pressing me into the wall hiding me from Percy. "Who?" Fred asked looking sincerely confused.
Percy scoffed "Isobel.", George tapped his chin "Forge you know this Isobel is?". "Can't say that I have Gred... Hm Try the great hall Perfect Percy." Fred said with a shrug, Percy let out a frustrated noise in the back of his throat and stalked off. "Now I owe you."I said as the turned back around "Naturally." they said "Fine I'm in I mean I can't get anymore detention that I already have." I said watching as the twin frowned "Don't ask."I sighed "Before or after breakfast?"I asked.
"Now."
Here I was standing before I bunch of Slytherin's "Wood let us through."Flint ordered moving from the group of over active first years who where about a good foot shorter than Flints over towering frame, I also noticed that his hair was cut again. I stood my ground "There is a spill like half way up the hall, Flint. Slippery." I stated crossing my arms. Flints dark eyes narrowed on me "Lair."He stated "Its the truth."I said with a smile that I hoped looked honest.
"Can we go now!" Wined a little first year girl who looked like a midget compared to Flint "Why haven't you already?"asked Pucey coming up behind the girl. She scoffed "She is a Perfect and said that we shouldn't come up yet a spill or something." She said like it was the honest thing in the word. "Prefect have badges."Flint stated the little girls face went red like other first years, Pucey looked at me a grinned "Well aren't you the lair, Wood. Tsk Tsk Tsk We ha." He paused and then went to say the same sentence again but couldn't.
I smiled "Well the charm's probably gone so off you all go." I said a boy glared at me "You said it was a spill." He eyed me as the first years went through. I uncrossed my arms, great I had a bunch of first years after me, "What's this about Isobel." Flint asked using my first name which made me shrink back. "Nothing."I said walking away and slipping into a secret passage way out of the line of fire, Fred and George met me and we walked into the Great Hall together smiling at out handy work. Fred pointed his wand in the air and a large banner flew out of his wand and in bright blinking letters it read 'Welcome to Hogwarts Firstie!'.
"Nice."I commented taking a seat with Harry, Ron, and Hermione who looked livid "Did you do this?"She asked waving her hand at the first years pilling in dyed in there houses colors. Hufflepuff's had swirls of there colors, Ravenclaw's had two sides, the Griffindor's looked like large candy canes with red and gold, Slytherin's have a large targets. "Me?"I asked pointing to me "Never.",Hermione's eyes narrowed but she just focused on her meal "Ron..." I poked him with my fork "Have you heard anything?"I asked with a wince, Ron's face scrunched up "Not a thing.". "Calm before the storm." I sighed as I started to pick out what I wanted to eat.
I poured a little ketchup on my eggs "Ew." I looked up to see Oliver "Hush Ollie."I said smiling brightly, He kissed my forehead and messed up my hair like any big brother would do, I fixed it back to how I had it and glared playfully at him "Don't start Oliver Wood or I might just get you."I threatened jabbing my fork at him. "Oh I am so scared Isobel Woo.." I snickered as I stuffed my ketchup covered egg in his mouth "Oliver zero Isobel what is it now Oliver? Oh yeah two."I mocked as he gagged "This is still disgusting." He stated after he got done pretending like it was the worst thing in the world.
"Oh please."I said making a show of eating my eggs, He looked around and spotted a glaring first year Slytherin students "Did you aid in this colorful idea?"He asked his hazel eyes made me talk I couldn't lie to my brother "Yeah, I helped." Hermione's head shot up and I looked at Harry who was trying not to get into it poor Harry "I didn't say anything."I said quickly looking at Harry "I didn't say anything didn't I?"I said leaning towards him. He looked up and his eyes blinking behind his glasses "Yes?" Hermione scoffed "You're just as bad as the twins Isobel."She said I grinned "Yes I am, Well I am off to double Potions, Yippie!" I drawled sarcastically as I got up.
Actually I am excited about Potions, I loved Potions.
Lockheart is a fucking dolt! How dense can you get! He made us take a quiz about him! and the while we where doing that he signed everyone's books and added a fucking photo which I will promptly burn after this class which was the one I was most looking forward to, Ancient Runes. "Look this will help get you out of Potions... Hey Ike!"Called out Fred showing a third year some fever fudge "Selling some contraband?"I asked narrowing my eyes at the third year Ravenclaw who shrinked back "Good boy, It will work great but remember to take the cooling part at least thirty minutes after the fever part. We have only tested it that long."I said with a grin.
He relaxed "Well do, Thanks Ike."He said my smile faltered as I nodded great everyone who I didn't know will be be calling me Ike... Wonderful. "Georgie and I want to go over some plans will you be interested?"Fred asked I nodded adjusting my strap "When am I not? Also if it gets me to avoid Percy I game." I said as I noticed a redhead coming towards us "Speak of the devil."I said as I ran away from Fred who quickly packed away the snack box.
I sat in the library two books sat in front of me as I tried to research a transfiguration spell. I was reading as I hear someone coming up. I knew that Percy was after me so I decided to sit in the far back by the PG dark arts books, Ancient Runes was not exactly intresting yet actually it was rather boring but I wanted to learn it so I will just have to deal. "Isobel I have been looking for you." I groaned in my head as I hit my head on my books, It was too late to run "Gee really?"I asked turning around to face Percy who looked like someone was twisting the pole.
This is something I could never understand about Percy, He took his job of Prefect to seriously and then when he was in the public eyes he looked as if someone had shoved a pole up his arse. "Why is it that you are on the list for detention tonight also Is this the reason for such detention?"He asked showing the cover of the evening prophet. "Did you carry that all day? I feel so loved."I stated my bad mood must be affecting my judgement because Percy turned red "Answer the question."He grinded out I sighed "Yes, That is the reason." I turned back to my books.
I jumped as Percy ended up closer to me than I though "Do you have any idea the mess you have caused my father?"He asked "He could be fired." Wow if I didn't already feel bad enough Percy might have just made me go over the edge. This is at least what I liked about Slytherin's they never made you feel guilty about doing something to you because they always got even instead. "Don't you care?" Of course I did but you won't listen "I think you need to calm down Weasley." I relaxed and looked up to see Pucey standing there with a book in his hand "I think she knows about your family." I narrowed my eyes on him as he looked serious, He didn't look to different than the last time I had seen him.
Percy's eyes bore into my back "This is between Isobel and I." Percy said stiffly, I stood up and closed the books that flown off as if they knew that I didn't need them "Percy, I do care." I folded my notes and slid them into my bag "But I don't need your help on feeling already guilty." Percy frowned "Adrian did you need anything?"I asked sweetly ignoring Percy's surprised expression. Pucey got the hint "I was going to walk you to your detention Isobel."He added my name. He gave me one of his charming smiles "See you later Percy."I said as Pucey took my bag from me and walked with me out of the library which was mostly deserted.
"Thank you."I said as we reached the moving staircases, I went to take my bag but he held it tightly "I told you I would walk you to your detention Wood."He said raising an eyebrow at me "Are you trying to make me into a lair?" I shook my head and force a smirk instead of a grin. "What would all those Slytherin girls think Pucey? Honestly walking a Gryffindor girl to her detention."I acted shocked he shrugged "You're not just a Gryffindor Wood but a Lady." He reminded me.
I was reminded again of how much he helped me my first day in the Manor...
"You jump to conclusions all the time, You don't let them explain and you are always suppose to be right." Pucey came closer to me and fixed the ink pot that had jumped and was precariously on the edge of the table
"Not to mention that you constantly think its Nobel to die when it's not for yourself. Personally I want my face to look pretty when I die."He said with a wink.
"You are clever and a alright strategist but you are in a den full of snakes and you are going to have to think about what you do from now on." Pucey told me.
"What?"He asked noticing my face "I just remembered my first day at the mannor, I'm not sure that I like who I have changed into."I said like I had verbal diarrhea. He stopped and sighed "You're still you, granted you have changed into a lady instead of the girl who wanted to fight Marcus and even wanted to die for a nobel causes. Its called growing up. When I saw you the first time. "He ran a hand through his hair "I though you where a stupid no class Half-blood. You shown a sort of class that most Gryffindors lack and you're not scared of things that you should be. Also you gave us new plays that work for us with our strengths instead of throwing the wrong ones at us. You have my respect so call me Adrian from now on."He said.
My eyes widened and I looked over his face for any trace of deceit but I couldn't find any "Your mother would like that, Well Isobel from now on as well."I said feeling a blush on my cheeks "It's all her fault, I have grown fond of my name coming from your mouth."He charmed I scoffed "Adrian your such a flirt."I started walking again and he fallowed with a grin. "You bring out the best in me Isobel."He said with a wink, I shook my head "By the way nice going with the firsties."He said I looked at him like he had grown a third head "Firsties?" He nodded "Did you think only the Weasley Twins say Firsties?"He asked.
"Well...I have only heard they say it."I covered He snorted "Figures, actually how did you manage to convince a bunch of First year Slytherins to stay in one place. Even Flint and I have trouble corralling the beasts". "That is for me to know and you to never find out Adrian."I stated with a wink. He smirked "Fair enough.", We reached the transfiguration classroom and I stopped right outside "Well see you around."I said feeling a little bit weird. "Maybe."He shrugged passing me my bag, "Thanks."I said as he leaned down and gave me a swift peck on the lips "I will miss you every moment I am away from you."He cooed.
"Fuck off."I said feeling my hot face, My heart was pounding and he smiled a charming smile "Be honest Isobel eventually you will be the one kissing me."He winked walking off with that cocky strut. I swear he had to be insane or something! I had to admit he did make me feel better...
Damn Slytherins.
