Chapter 10
Renee Sees The Floor
When Renee woke up she found that she couldn't move them. Not being fully awake she thought that for some odd reason that she was paralyzed. When she wiped the sleep from her eyes and was able to see things clearly she saw the reason why she couldn't move.
There on her legs was a large black dog. She stared at the dog for a moment at first wondering why it was there. Then she decided that she didn't want to know. She nudged the dog, who at her touch woke up, and jumped off the bed allowing her to get up and get ready for classes she had that day.
Finally she was ready, and she had just decided to sit down on her bed when she felt a tug on her robes. The big black dog was pulling her robes. The dog bounded through the door dragging Renee, with him. Needless to say she was a bit irritated with the dog and looked at him with an angry glare. She could almost swear that the dog grinned at her. She brushed it off as it being an over active imagination; not thinking anything of it she sat down on the couch.
She hadn't noticed that there was another person sitting on the couch, looking into the black fire place, his stare blank and void of any emotion. Seeing Harry the dog ran and leapt onto his lap. Harry, startled looked at the dog and grinned. It was the kind of grin that took up his entire face, and you knew he was happy. For the moment, that was. The dog then came over and sat on Renee's lap, whining. Renee pet the dog between his ears, the dog happy that he was being scratched in the right place wagged his tail energetically.
AS soon as she was done the dog bounded off, leaving Renee and Harry in an uncomfortable silence. This was the kind of thing that made Renee, well nervous. She hated it when it was quiet. So she broke the silence between them.
"What's wrong?" She asked, rather bluntly.
"Nothing," came the icy reply.
"What did I do to you?"
"You were born."
"Not like I could have prevented it."
"You came here, you annoy me, and you are a bitch," he said just as icily as he had before.
"Why thank you for all those high compliments! I've never received so many in one day! You rock, Harry!" Renee said cheerfully.
"Don't you have anyone else to bother?"
"Nope."
There came an exasperated sound from Harry. "The dog's name is Snuffles."
"Hehehe, I would hate to be the one to call him in public."
"Jeez, can't you ever take any thing seriously?"
"No. How was your day," Renee asked knowing very well that she was being annoying.
"My day? My day? You have the nerve to ask me how my day went? I saw my parents hugging me, and such telling me that they love me. From a potion that is supposed to show you the future. But how can it be the future if they are dead?" He was rather bitter as he said this, and didn't give Renee the time to respond.
"You are pretty stupid. Have an IQ of 20, don't you," he said, coldly.
As he was running up the stairs to his dormitory she yelled, "I see someone is PMSing, today! I'll remember to stay out of your way!"
She stared at the empty common room, and was about to leave when she heard someone laughing softly behind her. She turned and saw Hermonie and Chad, looking at her. Hermonie was laughing and Chad just grinned.
"Well, I'm off to go explore! If I'm not back by breakfast send out a search party!"
She left the room, leaving Hermonie and Chad alone. Chad shook his head at her, and muttered under his breath, something about being hopeless.
Hermonie chuckled and went back up to her room, as did Chad. When he got up there he found that there was a man sitting on the bed, along with Harry and Ron. Not really caring who was there, he spoke.
"Hey Ron, Harry. Nice to meet you Sirius."
With that he walked down the stairs pulling his book bag with him. Harry and Ron looked at his retreating figure with a look between confusion and horror. Sirius laughed, and Chad turned around. He needed to cause some trouble.
"Hey Harry, you know Renee's mad at you right?"
"Why? Everything I told her was true."
"I don't think calling her an annoying bitch was true. But whatever you say. By the way she was so upset that she left the common room in tears."
Then he left, leaving Harry and Ron behind. Harry gulped at Sirius' penetrating stare. So he sat down and began to explain. Chad on the other hand snickered and spread out on the couch. So he had told a little white lie. It wasn't that big of a deal. Yet. Once again he smiled. Yup, breakfast would be interesting. Especially since Renee was probably going to get lost and he could make up a story.
He laid on the couch and thought about the night before.
` ~*~
True to Chad's prediction, Renee did get lost. On a stairway going to yet another floor, the stairway started to move. Unfortunately for her she turned down the corridor and was suddenly in a room. A room full of old artifacts. There was a mirror and several other things. The thing that caught her eye was the polished metal of a gleaming silver sword. The sword was laying across a nice polished shield, that was also gleaming in the dim light. She moved the sword from the shield and saw that there was a snake design encrusted on it. She traced her fingers over it and felt the smooth steel beneath her fingers. There wasn't a nick or scratch on it. She looked around the room again and found that there was a door in the ceiling . Standing on an old rickety stool she managed to open it. She began to crawl through the small space in the ceiling.

Now all of the students were at breakfast. The Hall was filled with cheerful chattering and silverware clanking on porcelain plates. Sometimes the sound was like a small bomb exploding, in a quiet classroom.
Every one was there, including Harry and Ron. Harry was giving everyone the look of death. This included Ron and Hermonie. He was suddenly withdrawn from everybody, and incredibly cranky. Renee hadn't returned and Chad had managed to cook up a really nice story.
"Renee's not here," he said suddenly.
"What? But she said she would be back by breakfast," Hermonie said, in fake concern. Chad had already filled her in on what he was trying to do.
"She's not here. She must have been really upset with Harry. She's not one to miss a meal, unless she's really upset about something."
"Oh, I hope she's okay."
"She'll be here, soon I hope."
"I do to.... But what if she was kidnapped!"
"She probably just got lost. That's a normal thing for her."
Just as those words left his mouth, the blonde girl came crashing through the ceiling. She landed on the floor with a loud thud. Everyone was staring at her, with the exception of Chad and Hermonie, who were laughing. Renee glared at the two, and got up. Rubbing her backside she began to brush off her robes. She managed to get all the dust off her clothes, and sat down. Some how her hair managed to stay in perfect condition, but her face was streaked with dirt. Not seeming to notice Renee sat down next to Chad.
"Oh look! Food!"
Ron looked at her oddly and said, "Are you okay? I mean you fell from a pretty high distance..."
"Mhmm, just fine."
Chad grinned. Only she could be side tracked with food. She almost didn't notice that the owls had arrived. Well that was until a large black owl with blood red eyes perched on her shoulder and gave her a letter. Another owl this time a large tawny dropped a slightly puffy envelope in her breakfast. The black owl hooted softly and Renee gave him some toast.
"You should take that some where else..." Ron said.
Being Renee she didn't listen to what he said. The envelope was opened and it released a a shrill angry hissing noise. There was a voice that was amplified ten times louder than necessary, (well that was Renee and Chad's opinion.) Echoed through the room. The voice shook the room, and caused the dust to come from the walls.
"RENEE, CHAD! YOU STUPID LITTLE MORONS! LEAVING MUGGLE SCHOOL, THEN I FIND OUT YOU ONLY LEFT MUGGLE SCHOOL TO GO TO HOGWARTS!! HOGWARTS, THE BEST WIZARDING SCHOOL THERE IS! YOU KNOW THAT I WENT TO SALEM SCHOOL OF WITCH CRAFT AND WIZARDRY!! AND TO MAKE MATTERS WORSE IS THE FACT THAT YOU'VE BEEN THERE FOR THREE DAYS. AND NOT ONCE DID YOU OWL ME!! AND NOW YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT IT, BECAUSE, I'M ALREADY ON MY WAY THERE!!!!!"
The howler they later found out it was called suddenly burst into flames. Renee turned to Chad and said, "She sounded kind of mad."
"Kind of? I can't believe that we forgot about her. Our best friend. Geez, we are morons."
"I told you that," a new voice entered the conversation.
The owner of the voice was a tall, lean brown haired girl. As she moved the blond highlights in her hair gleamed in the sunlight. Her brown eyes narrowed at Renee, who held her hands up in a surrendering fashion. Finally she broke into a smile, but not before hitting Renee on the back of the head. Hard.
Renee rubbed the spot on her head and, opened the letter which she had forgotten about before.
Renee-
Meet me at six, in front of the owlery.
D. Malfoy.
Renee managed to catch his eye and nod. Draco leaned back and smiled. Audra.
"Oh, yeah everyone, this is Audra. Our best friend," Renee said.
Everyone said their respective greetings and Ron motioned that it was time to go. Renee looked at her schedule and Audra looked at hers. They both groaned, although for very different reasons.
Audra, because she absolutely hated that class. And Renee because she didn't like Harry at this particular moment in time. Chad stood up with them and walked out in to the halls. Soon Renee, Chad, and Audra were in an in depth conversation about exploding house flies. Well, actually how you can charm a fly into becoming exploding house flies.
Their conversation stopped when Renee asked, "Holy shit! What is that smell?"
They were standing outside of their Divintation class. Audra laughed and pushed the door open. Gulping both Chad and Renee walked in.
