Piggy's POV
I got up, and remembered this great dream about going to the ball with Blaise. I sat in bed for about 30 minutes, wishing it was true.
BAM, Reuven smacked a pillow in my face. "HEY." I yelled at him tackling him onto the floor. "I give, I give." he said trying to get out from under me. "Thanks", he said breathing again. "So what's up Blaisy-boy."
I smiled at her name. "Well I had this great dream, where I asked Blaise to the ball, and I got a YES!" I said happily.
Reuven stared at me weirdly. "Dude. That's real." He said all slowly, like I was mental. "Damn." I said staring and thinking. "SWEET!!!"
"So. Its your second date." I said to Reuven. "According to your "Date Plan" you should be doing what?" I said slyly.
He tackled me again for that. "I was 7 ok?" He said digging his knees into my gut. I rolled over onto him pinned him good. "And the third date?" I said teasing again. "Or wait, that was marriage wasn't it?" He then rolled me off the bed, "Ugh". "No. Don't you remember anything? 4th is marriage. DUH."
"Oh yeah. 3rd is the fun night, not 2nd." I said remembering his so called "Date Plan." "Fun night? Is that what I called it?" I smiled. "No, you called something that got you grounded for a month." "Oh, yeah!" He said as he started laughing at the memory. I joined in. "Well, I have classes soon, so see ya." he said leaving.
Later that day, I met up with hunter, in the library. I was sitting, studying for my potions exam. She came up, and sat next to me. "Hey, piggy" I looked up and saw hunter. "Oh, Hey." I said turning away from book towards Hunter. "U wanna come see my quarters?" She then stood up and started walking. "Sure." I said as I stood up also. "Where is it?" I asked as I followed. We walked awhile silently. After a while, we got to a statue. She whispered something that I couldn't hear, and it opened. "Cool." I said looking down the staircase. There were 2 doors. She went into the left, and I followed.
Hunter's POV
I walked out of the potions class with a smile on my face. It was an interesting lesson. Ron, Harry, Hermoine, Reuven, and myself walked out talking.
"Yeah, Hermoine, I would have to agree with you when it comes to the potion." I said.
"Finally I meet someone who actually pays attention," Hermoine shot at Ron, Harry, and Reuven. I smiled.
"They never pay attention?" I asked.
"Nope, never, they only are able to get through cause I pay attention and help them study."
"Hey, you guys want to come over tonight and we can study?"
"Well, at least as it isn't in the Slytherin common room." Reuven said.
"Oh, no, it isn't, I got my own quarters cause Dumbledore doesn't want Malfoy and me killing each other. Even got my own little common room. I will show you where it is. We are on our morning break now." I turned around and started back down towards the dungeons.
"I thought you said it wasn't in the Slytherin area." Harry said.
"No, I said it wasn't in the regular Slytherin Dorms. It is down in the dungeons though. I need to drop by Snape's office to tell him something really quick though." We arrived at Snape's office. "You guys wait out here." I said. I walked in told Snape that I was giving the password to Harry, Ron, Hermoine, and Reuven now and later Aurora and Piggy. He shook his head to show he understood, politely reminded me to go over the rules with them and said I could go. I thanked him and walked out. "Okay, sorry about that. I had to tell him something." I walked the extra 50 feet past Severus's office and stopped in front of the snake statue. "Dewine." I said. The snake came to life. I walked in and the Gryffindors followed me. "Okay, My room is on the left. Don't go near the right door cause that is my roommate's quarters. He would not be happy about that. And also, the password is Dewine, give it to nobody, except, Piggy, Aurora, or each other if any of you forget it. Nobody else. Understood?" They all shook their heads. "You may not come in after midnight and you have to leave then or before then. I can usually talk to my roommate and get special permission if we are working on a project together." I led them into my little common room. "This is my little common room type thing. I just wanted you know where it was. I will do most of my homework and spend most of my time here. But I suggest, before coming in every time, knock cause sometimes, I will be talking privately to my roommate. So , just respect that. And to tell you beforehand. I am not involved with my roommate. Ok, now we ran that down. Break is almost over, I need to get to advanced transfiguration. Lets go." We walked out of my room while Snape was walking in to get some stuff from his quarters. All four of them looked at me. "Hello Professor Snape." I said.
"Hello Hunter, Reuven, Hermoine, Harry, and Ron." He said. The five of us walked out and when that snake hit the wall, closing out all conversation that could be heard outside, came a invasion of questions.
"Your roommate is Snape Hunter?" One asked.
"Yes, Professor Snape is my roommate. He isn't as mean when you get to know him. He is nice to me and he said that he would be nice to all of you. He promised me." I said quietly.
"I am willing to be nice." Hermoine said, noticing how put out I was because the other three didn't like Snape.
"Thanks Hermoine." I said. I looked down at the floor. I felt a punch on the shoulder. I looked up to see Harry standing there. He looked kinda sexy.
"We will try. As long as he is cool to us, we will be cool to him." He said smiling. That amazing smile. It make my knees go weak. "Hey Hunter. You got someone to go to the Halloween dance with?' He asked.
"No, I most likely won't be going. I won't get a date." I said.
"You wanna go with me?" Harry asked. We arrived in the entrance hall.
"Can I give you an answer later? I need to think about it. What class do you all have next?" I asked. Harry had advanced transfiguration with me. Reuven and Ron had intermediate defense against the dark arts and Hermoine has arthimicy. We said goodbye and Harry and myself started for McGonagall's room. We walked in and sat in the front row. Everybody else started to file in. Out of the corner of my eye I saw Malfoy come in. He went and put his books down and walked back up to where Harry and myself sat.
"Well, well, well. Look at the Slytherin and Gryffindor sitting together." Malfoy said.
"Go away Malfoy." I said quietly. The room got so quite that you could hear a pen drop.
"What happens if I want to ask you something?" Malfoy said walking in front of my desk leaning over to look straight into my eyes.
"Then do it quickly." I hissed.
"Will you go to the Halloween dance with me?" He asked.
"No, I am going with someone else that I like." I said. Malfoy walked back to his seat as the bell rang and I said to Harry, "The offer still open?"
"Of course." Harry whispered back as McGonagall walked into the room. I quickly whispered back,
"You got yourself a date." Harry looked at me and smiled. McGonagall saw this exchange and I could tell she was gonna ask about it later. She started teaching. The time went by. Harry and I were packing up and she said,
"Hunter and Harry, can I talk to you up at my desk?" We both walked up there.
"Hunter, Harry, I say that exchange that happened between Mr. Malfoy and Hunter. I would like to know who started it Harry." She said.
"Malfoy did Professor. We were sitting there minding our own business and he comes up and starts making comments to us about how a Slytherin and a Gryffindor are sitting side-by-side and not fighting. Then he asked Hunter to go to the Halloween dance and Hunter said no, then we exchanged a couple words then paid attention to you." Harry said.
"Thank you Harry. Hunter is this what happened?" She asked me.
"Yes, ma'am, it is." I said.
"Am I allowed to ask what words were exchanged between you two?" She asked. Harry and I looked at each other. We gave the resolving look, that she wouldn't actually say anything about it, nor care.
"Earlier, I asked her to the Halloween dance. And she said she needed to think about it. And what she was saying was, she would go with me." Harry said.
"Hunter, may I ask why you agreed after this exchange with Mr. Malfoy?" McGonagall said.
"Well, I was already thinking of saying yes, cause I like Harry, but the fact I know it would piss off Malfoy, is a bonus. But I really like Harry." I said.
"Hunter, you are not just, using Harry are you?" She asked.
"No, I am not that kind of person. I didn't think that teachers would trash you when they don't know you." I said. I walked back to my desk, grabbed my books and was out the door before she could reject what I said.
"Why do you think she would be using me Professor? She is a lot nicer than that." Harry said. He walked back to his desk and grabbed his stuff and was halfway to the door before McGonagall said anything.
"Harry, you of all people should understand it is sometimes lethal to trust people. Please, be careful."
"Well, you know something professor? I also know how important it is to give somebody a chance. And I like Hunter, I am giving her a chance. Now, I need to get to my next class. Bye." Harry walked out of the door and ran into Hermoine.
"Harry, I just saw Hunter go down to the dungeons, she was crying. What happened?" She asked.
"Come on, lets go talk to her." Harry said. They dashed down to the dungeons. They ran past Snape's office just as he opened the door to leave his office.
"Stop running you two." He said to Harry and Hermoine. "What is the problem?" He asked.
"McGonagall said something that Hunter took offence to and she ran down to her quarters. We are going to make sure she is all right." Harry stumbled out. Snape looked at Harry and could tell something did happen.
"You two go to class. This is my plan period. I will go talk to Hunter. If you are late tell them you were talking to me about an issue." Snape said quickly. Hermoine and Harry started to run to their next class, Care of Magical Creatures. Snape quickly closed the fifty feet between his office and the snake statue, said the password and quickly entered and made his way to the left door and opened it to see me sitting, staring into the fire, tears coming from my eyes. He quietly made his way to the couch where I was sitting. "Hunter? Are you ok?" Snape asked quietly. I jumped and looked around wildly and my eyes fell onto Serveus.
"Oh, hello Serveus." I said quietly, turning around and staring back into the fire.
"Harry told me that something happened between you and Professor McGonagall. You want to talk about it?" He asked gently, sitting down next to me on the couch. He slid his arm around my shoulder to comfort me. I leaned into his embrace and started crying. Once I got my crying under control I started to tell him about what happened.
"Malfoy was trying to start another fight cause Harry and I were sitting next to each other. And we told him to leave, and we ignored him, McGonagall walks in, and he leaves us alone. I say something to Harry and we listen to McGonagall. After that she calls both of us up to her desk and talk s to us about what Malfoy did and Harry answered then she asked what we were talking about when she came in and Harry told her that himself and I are going to Halloween dance together and she thinks I am using him. But I really like him. He is so sweet." I started crying uncontrollably. Snape hugged me and I cried into his shoulder. My crying lessened and he allowed me to pull back.
"Hunter, I have the rest of the day off since it is double subjects today. What class are you supposed to be in?"
"Care of Magical Creatures." I said. I dreaded going. Cause I knew Malfoy was in that class.
"You don't want to go?" Snape asked.
"Not really, Malfoy is in the class." I said looking back into the fire.
"I will go tell Hagrid you will not be in class today. I will be back." Snape stood up and exited. He walked down to Hagrid's hut. The class was independently working when he arrived. "Hagrid. I need to speak to you." Hagrid came over and the went over to a spot away form the students, but where the could see them, but the students couldn't hear them. "Hunter won't be in class today because on an issue that has arisen." Snape said.
"What happened Professor?" Hagrid asked.
"I can't talk about it. She just won't be here." Snape said.
"Okay, thank you for telling me Professor." Hagrid trotted off to his class. Snape turned around and walked back to Hunter's little common room without breaking stride. I was still in the same position as when he left me. He returned and sat beside me.
"How are you doing Hunter?" He asked.
"Fine I guess." I said miserably.
"Do you want me to go talk to McGonagall?" Snape asked.
"No, I will talk to her sooner or later. I couldn't talk to her now though." I said.
"Okay Hunter. Do you want me to stay?" Serveus asked.
"If possible." I said quietly.
"Yes, it is possible. I am sorry this had to happen your first day."
"I knew something like this would happen, I expected it. Disaster follows me."
"That isn't true Hunter. You didn't mess up in potions." Serveus said.
"If I had to do it by myself I would have. Hermoine helped me. I am a curse. It sucks. And hurts." I said the last two words quietly. I knew Serveus would catch them.
"Hunter, I can always help you if you need it. And I am sorry you feel that you couldn't do it on your own. But I read the reports sent over by your Durmstrang potions teacher and she seemed very impressed. And judging on the fact your grade was the highest out of your potions class, not to mention in all of your classes, it shows you are good. At everything. Cause I know I always struggled in Divination." Serveus said.
"Well, unless you like the teacher it is hard to do." I muttered.
"Good point." He answered.
"But thanks for the effort. But I need to get going to do some research for Transfiguration. She already assigned a project. The evil teacher from hell." I commented.
"I also need to go grade your class's summer homework. I will see you later." Serveus gave me a hug and walked to his office. I heard the stone snake close after him. I looked into the fire and smiled. Snape was really cool. I stood up and grabbed my notebook and walked out of my common room and out the stone statue and towards the library. I saw Piggy.
"Hey Piggy." I greeted.
"Oh, hi." He answered back.
"You wanna come see my quarters?"
"Sure." We started off to my quarters. "Where is it?" Piggy asked. I stayed silent. I didn't want Malfoy to be around and hear it. We got to the statue.
"Dewine." I said quietly. The stone statue moved. We walked inside. I led him to my door and opened. "Okay, Piggy, the password is Dewine. Never go near the right door. That is my roommate's quarters. And you are to not come in or be out on or before midnight. And give nobody the password except Aurora, Reuven, Hermoine, Ron, or Harry. And if you forget it, u can ask them. And there is nothing going on between my roommate and myself so don't even think that." I said.
"Hunter who is your roommate?" Piggy asked.
"Professor Snape." I said.
"I feel sorry for you." He said.
"Professor Snape is a lot nicer than lets say McGonagall, the ass." I said remembering earlier today.
"Run in with her?" He asked.
"More like run out of her freaking class. I don't like her. You going to the Halloween dance with Balise?" I asked.
"Yeah, you got a date?" He asked. I started to blush. He noticed this and said, "I will take that as a yes, who?"
"Harry." I said quietly.
"Go Hunter. Going for the big leaguers." Piggy said. I started to blush harder while laughing. "Yes." I said. I heard a knock at my door. "Come in." I said. In came Aurora, Hermoine, Reuven, Ron, and my date, Harry. I looked down at the ground. I didn't want him jumping to conclusions about why Piggy and I were here.
"HUNTER!!" Harry yelled at me. I continued to stare at the ground. A tear threatened to come. "What are you trying to do lead me on?" He yelled at me. I stood up and ran into my bedroom and locked the door behind me. I leaned against the door and slid into a sitting position. I heard a knock on my door and Hermoine's voice came through.
"Hunter, it is Hermoine, please open up." Hermoine said begging.
"No." I said.
"If I get Professor Snape will you talk to him?" She asked.
"Maybe." I responded. I heard Hermoine say to Reuven,
"Go get Professor Snape," then she said to me, "Reuven is going to get him. Don't do anything stupid please Hunter." She said. I waited. "You still there Hunter?" Hermoine asked.
"Yeah." I said.
"Good." I heard the door of the common room open and then Snape's voice,
"Everyone, out. Hermoine she in her room?" He asked.
"Yeah." She answered.
"Okay, thank you. I need to talk to her alone. You all have some kind of homework. Go work on that." I heard everybody leave. "Hunter, you okay?" Came his soothing voice. I slowly opened the door to see if anybody else was there. Nobody else was. I opened the door all the way and walked out and closed it behind me. "Hunter, come sit down and we can talk." We walked over to in front of the fire and sat down onto the couch. "Okay, what happened?"
"I was showing Piggy me quarters and Harry and all of them knocked on the door I said they could come in. They walked in and Harry saw Piggy and me sitting here and jumped to conclusions and assumed something happened and nothing did happed," at this point I started crying, "I would never do that to Harry," I sobbed out. He gave me a hug and waited until my sobs subsided. This seemed a like Deja voo. "I am sorry Serveus. I didn't mean to actually disturb you. I just, I don't know what happened." I stammered out.
"It is ok Hunter. You can't talk to anyone else remember? And I know Aurora, but there are some things that she wouldn't understand because she hasn't been exposed to what you have and it would be overwhelming if you tell her all you know. I will always be here for you unless I am teaching. You understand?" He asked gently.
"Yes I do Serveus." I said quietly.

"Do you want me to go talk to McGonagall?" Snape asked.
"No, I will talk to her sooner or later. I couldn't talk to her now though." I said.
"Okay Hunter. Do you want me to stay?" Serveus asked.
"If possible." I said quietly.
"Yes, it is possible. I am sorry this had to happen your first day."
"I knew something like this would happen, I expected it. Disaster follows me."
"That isn't true Hunter. You didn't mess up in potions." Serveus said.
"If I had to do it by myself I would have. Hermoine helped me. I am a curse. It sucks. And hurts." I said the last two words quietly. I knew Serveus would catch them.
"Hunter, I can always help you if you need it. And I am sorry you feel that you couldn't do it on your own. But I read the reports sent over by your Durmstrang potions teacher and she seemed very impressed. And judging on the fact your grade was the highest out of your potions class, not to mention in all of your classes, it shows you are good. At everything. Cause I know I always struggled in Divination." Serveus said.
"Well, unless you like the teacher it is hard to do." I muttered.
"Good point." He answered.
"But thanks for the effort. But I need to get going to do some research for Transfiguration. She already assigned a project. The evil teacher from hell." I commented.
"I also need to go grade your class's summer homework. I will see you later." Serveus gave me a hug and walked to his office. I heard the stone snake close after him. I looked into the fire and smiled. Snape was really cool. I stood up and grabbed my notebook and walked out of my common room and out the stone statue and towards the library. I saw Piggy.
"Hey Piggy." I greeted.
"Oh, hi." He answered back.
"You wanna come see my quarters?"
"Sure." We started off to my quarters. "Where is it?" Piggy asked. I stayed silent. I didn't want Malfoy to be around and hear it. We got to the statue.
"Dewine." I said quietly. The stone statue moved. We walked inside. I led him to my door and opened. "Okay, Piggy, the password is Dewine. Never go near the right door. That is my roommate's quarters. And you are to not come in or be out on or before midnight. And give nobody the password except Aurora, Reuven, Hermoine, Ron, or Harry. And if you forget it, u can ask them. And there is nothing going on between my roommate and myself so don't even think that." I said.
"Hunter who is your roommate?" Piggy asked.
"Professor Snape." I said.
"I feel sorry for you." He said.
"Professor Snape is a lot nicer than lets say McGonagall, the ass." I said remembering earlier today.
"Run in with her?" He asked.
"More like run out of her freaking class. I don't like her. You going to the Halloween dance with Balise?" I asked.
"Yeah, you got a date?" He asked. I started to blush. He noticed this and said, "I will take that as a yes, who?"
"Harry." I said quietly.
"Go Hunter. Going for the big leaguers." Piggy said. I started to blush harder while laughing. "Yes." I said. I heard a knock at my door. "Come in." I said. In came Aurora, Hermoine, Reuven, Ron, and my date, Harry. I looked down at the ground. I didn't want him jumping to conclusions about why Piggy and I were here.
"HUNTER!!" Harry yelled at me. I continued to stare at the ground. A tear threatened to come. "What are you trying to do lead me on?" He yelled at me. I stood up and ran into my bedroom and locked the door behind me. I leaned against the door and slid into a sitting position. I heard a knock on my door and Hermoine's voice came through.
"Hunter, it is Hermoine, please open up." Hermoine said begging.
"No." I said.
"If I get Professor Snape will you talk to him?" She asked.
"Maybe." I responded. I heard Hermoine say to Reuven,
"Go get Professor Snape," then she said to me, "Reuven is going to get him. Don't do anything stupid please Hunter." She said. I waited. "You still there Hunter?" Hermoine asked.
"Yeah." I said.
"Good." I heard the door of the common room open and then Snape's voice,
"Everyone, out. Hermoine she in her room?" He asked.
"Yeah." She answered.
"Okay, thank you. I need to talk to her alone. You all have some kind of homework. Go work on that." I heard everybody leave. "Hunter, you okay?" Came his soothing voice. I slowly opened the door to see if anybody else was there. Nobody else was. I opened the door all the way and walked out and closed it behind me. "Hunter, come sit down and we can talk." We walked over to in front of the fire and sat down onto the couch. "Okay, what happened?"
"I was showing Piggy me quarters and Harry and all of them knocked on the door I said they could come in. They walked in and Harry saw Piggy and me sitting here and jumped to conclusions and assumed something happened and nothing did happed," at this point I started crying, "I would never do that to Harry," I sobbed out. He gave me a hug and waited until my sobs subsided. This seemed a like Deja voo. "I am sorry Serveus. I didn't mean to actually disturb you. I just, I don't know what happened." I stammered out.
"It is ok Hunter. You can't talk to anyone else remember? And I know Aurora, but there are some things that she wouldn't understand because she hasn't been exposed to what you have and it would be overwhelming if you tell her all you know. I will always be here for you unless I am teaching. You understand?" He asked gently.
"Yes I do Serveus." I said quietly.
