As much as I'd luv to own Harry Potter and the characters I don't. I only
own the plot and the character Makayla Slater. Well I hope you like this
fic. It's set in Harry and co.'s 5th year at Hogworts.
Chapter 1. The new arrival.
********************************************
The feeling in the great hall was that of apprehension and uncertainty as the Hogworts students gathered for the start of term feast. Though that's to be expected after the events of last year. Voldermort was back in power. And still, no one knows where he is. The first years shuffle into the hall nervously, though that was the case every year. The sorting hat sung it's song and sorted the first years. Ron Weasley looked up towards the teachers' table before turning to his friend Harry Potter and asking, "Where's Snape?"
Harry turned to look at the table. And the seat Snape usually sat in was empty.
"Dunno maybe he left," said Harry hopefully. Then, as if on queue, the doors to the hall flew open and in walked Snape followed closely by a person with a hood covering their face.
"Here she is Professor Dumbledore," said Snape reaching the table and putting his arm protectively on the person's shoulder.
"Ah welcome to Hogworts Miss Slater," said Dumbledore shaking hands with the hooded girl.
"Everyone, this is Makayla Slater, she has transferred here from a Wizarding school in Australia and will be spending the rest of her school life with us at Hogworts." He said loud enough for everyone to here. The girl turned slowly and pulled her hood back.
Before everyone stood a beautiful young girl. She had black hair tied in a messy bun with two pieces hanging down on either side of her neck reaching no longer than the top of her collar bone. She had gorgeous blue eyes and a fair complexion. She had red pouty lips that were perfect for smiles when you want to get your own way.
McGonagall hurried over with the stool and sorting hat and she quickly sat down. McGonagall placed the sorting hat on her head.
"Ah ha!" cried the hat. "This is quite difficult!"
The girl sat with her fingers crossed muttering something under her breath that couldn't even be heard by McGonagall who was standing right next to her.
After much deliberation the hat shouted "GRYFFINDOR!"
She took the hat off, handed it to McGonagall and walked over to the Gryffindor table and sat in the space next to Hermoine Granger.
"Hello my names Hermoine," she greeted warmly.
"Hi, I'm Makayla," replied the new student smiling brightly.
"Makayla is in her 5th year so I expect all other 5th years to show her around and help her out!" said Dumbledore. "Now that that's finished, the feast may begin." And then food was on the table being quickly consumed by the students who were hungry after their long trip.
"So Makayla, what's Australia like?" asked Ron with a mouthful of chicken.
"It's. Nice I spose," replied Makayla trying not to look at the chicken doing laps of Ron's mouth.
"Why did you move?" asked Harry.
"I had to," replied Makayla not meeting Harry's inquiring eyes.
"Fair enough," he replied sounding a tad pissed off.
"Well I'm sure you'll enjoy your time at Hogworts," said Hermoine breaking the tension.
"I hope so," replied Makayla smiling weakly.
********************************************
The next morning the Gryffindors and the Slytherins had double potions together so Harry and Ron made there way down to the dungeons.
"Where's Hermoine?" asked Ron looking around as though he only just noticed she wasn't with them.
"She's walking with Makayla," said Harry saying her name in a tone that hinted he didn't particularly like her much.
"Oh okay," replied Ron deciding to change the subject. Only problem he didn't know what to change it to and by the time he'd thought of something Hermoine arrived with Makayla.
"Hi guys!" said Hermoine cheerily.
"Hi!" replied Ron and Harry. Makayla simply smiled and held tight to her books that were pressed up against her chest. They then walked into the classroom and resumed there usually spot up the back of the classroom. It went Ron, Hermoine, Harry and Makayla much to both the last 5th years' disgust.
Snape swooped into the classroom not long after they'd taken their seats.
"Today we'll be starting the lesson with some work from your text books. Turn to page 150; read it and then answer the questions at the bottom. When you've finished we'll do the potion mentioned in the passage." He said. "When you've finished I want you to hand in your parchment so I know you actually did your work."
Makayla began her work straight away and was first to finish. She walked down to the front handed Snape her parchment and walked back and sat in her seat. 5 minutes after Makayla finished Hermoine took hers down and they both went to a cauldron and began to make the potion. Not long after most people had finished and were making their potions.
"Ten points for Gryffindor," said Snape. Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at him. "You can thank Miss Slater for that. She got every question right and was first to finish. Good work Makayla!"
The Gryffindors were utterly stunned. But Makayla continued to make her potion as if nothing had happened.
********************************************
As they left the classroom Ron ran up to Makayla. "MAKAYLA!" he shouted sounding exhausted.
"Yep!" she said cheerily.
"How did you do it?" he asked.
"Do what?" Makayla sounded puzzled.
"You have to be the first Gryffindor in history that Snape has ever liked or been kind to! You just scored us 10 points!"
"I dunno," she shrugged. "First day luck I guess!"
"Yeah right" mutter Harry as he passed her.
"Oh sorry have I taken attention away from Harry Potter Boy Wonder?" she asked coldly.
"That's not what this is about!" Harry retorted angrily.
"I think it is!"
Harry didn't say anything in his defence.
"Well if that's not it, then what is it?" she asked.
"Fuck off!" said Harry angrily walking away from her.
"Charming!" Makayla muttered under her breath as she continued to Gryffindor tower.
********************************************
At dinnertime Makayla sat with Ginny Weasley helping her with her Potions homework. While Harry sat opposite Ginny and to her right, glaring at her.
"Give up Harry, it's been going on all week," whispered Ron. "It's Friday, enjoy it!"
"Do you get what I mean?" asked Makayla after giving a spiel on how to create the antidote and what you need.
"Kinda. Thanks," replied Ginny smiling warmly.
"Your welcome," said Makayla also smiling. She then turned and began to eat her dinner.
"Potter, Slater come with me please," said Snape walking over to the Gryffindor table. They stood reluctantly and followed him out of the Great Hall and into the corridor outside.
"I need you two to go to Hagrids cabin and see if he has these things for me." He said handing Makayla a piece of paper. "I wouldn't have gotten you to go Potter but Miss Slater is new and hasn't met Hagrid nor has she been to his cabin so you'll need to show her the way."
"Sure thing," said Harry sounding less than enthusiastic.
"Well off you go," said Snape hurrying them down the hall.
The entire way to Hagrids cabin not a word was spoken between the two Gryffindors. Just before they reached the cabin it began to rain heavily. They ran the rest of the way and began banging on the door.. No reply.
"Hagrid it's Harry! Open up!" he shouted over the sound of the rain against the roof and windows. Still no answer.
"He mustn't be there," concluded Makayla.
"Ya think?" snapped Harry.
"Get over yourself Potter!" said Makayla angrily.
"We should go back to the castle and tell Snape we couldn't find him." Said Harry ignoring Makayla's last comment.
"Sounds like a good idea to me," replied Makayla wiping the rain from her face.
By the time they reached the castle they were saturated from head to toe and Snape was waiting at the door for you.
"He wasn't there," said Makayla handing Snape the paper, the words running off the page and dripping on her shoes.
"Here you go, try to dry yourselves off and get straight to Gryffindor tower to change," he said throwing towels at them and turning to leave.
They quickly dried most of the moisture off their bodies and ran to the tower.
Makayla's normally straight black hair was in ringlets from the rain and sat seemingly neat around her heart shaped face. They burst into the common room shaking madly and ran straight to their dorms to change.
Makayla slid her skirt off and stood with it out the window ringing as much of the water out of it as possible before hanging it on a rack in the corner of the room. She then dried her legs, changed her underwear and pulled on a pair of black faded, hipster jeans. She then took her shirt off and did the same thing. She changed her bra and was about to pull on a shirt when there was a knock at the door. She pulled the shirt up to cover her chest and spun around to see Harry standing at the door.
"Oh Merlin Harry, you scared me." She sighed.
"Sorry." He said. "Can you turn around for a minute?"
"What?" Makayla asked sounding shocked and confused.
"Just turn around a minute." Harry replied.
Slowly Makayla turned around. Harry walked towards her to get a closer look at her back. At the top over her right shoulder blade was a long scar. Harry ran his finger over it slowly.
"How'd you get it?" Harry asked.
"How'd I get what?" asked Makayla turning quickly and pulling her shirt over the top of her half-naked chest.
"That scar." Said Harry.
"I don't wanna talk about it!" she snapped.
"What's the big deal?" asked Harry.
"Harry, you have a scar on your forehead," she said tapping it, "But you don't hear me interrogating you about it do you?"
"Yeah but you know how I got it!" replied Harry.
"That's not the point!" retorted Makayla angrily.
"Then what is?" asked Harry raising his voice slightly.
"Just give it up! It's none of your business!" she said pushing past him and rushing down the stairs back to the hall.
Harry went to run after it but thought it'd make the situation worse so he walked leisurely back to the Great Hall.
