Chapter 1
~*~Matalina's POV (Point of view) ~*~
"Stupid ass alarm clock." I woke up having a big head ache. I stayed up so late last night trying to finish the article for the Daily Prophet. I got out of bed and went to the bathroom. I looked myself in the mirror and laughed. "God Matalina, you look like shit." I took off my cloths and went into the show to have a nice warm bath.
When I finished I turned off the water and got the towel off the rack. I stepped out of the tub and wrapped the towel around me. I wiped the mirror and just looked at myself again.
"Damn Lina you look hot!!" I said while laughing. I did this a whole lot. I would just talk to myself in the mirror. I don't know why I just do. I walked into my room and saw something fly through my window. "Hi Hedwig. How are you today?" Hedwig chirped happily. "Do you have a letter for me from Harry?" Hedwig dropped a note on my floor. I picked up the note and opened it.
Dear Matalina,
Hi, how are you doing? I'm just bloody tired here. Ever since I made it into the team all I've done is practice, practice and practice. Well it is worth it anyway. So how is it working in a dentist office? And how is it writing for the Daily Prophet? Have I ever told you that I'm so happy that you got hired? I mean you have always wanted to be a journalist and here you are writing for the Daily Prophet.
Well, I just wanted to write you to say hello and I also wanted to ask you if you want to go to Ron and Hermione's announcement party with me? I have no date and I don't think you can ask any of your muggle friends so I would think that we should go. I think I already know what the announcement is going to be about. Everybody should know by now. Well I have to go write back and tell me your answer ok.
From, Harry P.
I folded up the letter and smiled. Ever since I came into Hogwarts I've had a crush on Harry but never said a word. Well I'm not that dumb and I know he likes me because he and Ginny would have gone together or he would have some other person go with him. I know him to well. I went to my desk and sat down. I took a pen and a piece of paper out and started to write.
Dearest Harry,
Hello, I am doing fine. Work is getting to me though. Last night I stayed up so late trying to write an article for the Prophet but I got it finished and I sent it to the editor right away. It is difficult working two jobs but what can I do. I need money for the muggle world and I need money for the magic world.
I am so proud of you Harry. I always knew that you would be in a quidditch team and knowing me I'm always right about this. How is Sirus anyway? I am so glad that he was proven innocent. Now you wouldn't have to live with your miserable aunt and uncle and your cousin too.
I also do wonder what Ron and Hermione's announcement party will be about but I have an idea though. And of course I will go with you. It will be a pleasure, but you have to tell me when it is because I haven't gotten the slightest clue. I have been so busy with work that I lost the invitation. And I also need to know when I should book days off to go there.
Well I have to go now. Thank God today I have the day off from both jobs. Write back immediately ok. Bye.
Love, Matalina
I folded up the note and went back to the window sill where Hedwig was waiting.
"Here you go girl. Give Harry a kiss for me." I kissed Hedwig on the head and she flew off. It took him seven years to tell me that he likes me. Well not seven I think. I don't know I'm just happy that he likes me and that I get to see him, Ron and Hermione again.
I was about to leave my bedroom when another owl came through my room. But the owl didn't stay; it just flew around the room and dropped a package on my bed. When the owl flew out the window I went to my bed and opened the package. It was the Hogwarts yearbook. It was filled with moving pictures of all the professors and all the students that graduated. She looked through the book and smiled at every picture. There were some pictures of Hermione and I and there was a picture of Cedric and I. It was my third year in Hogwarts. Cedric and I were dating for a couple months but broke it off because we thought it was better if we were just friends. But the year after was a tragic. That was the year Cedric died. I still think of him and miss him dearly.
I wiped my tears off my face and flipped through the pages. There were different sections for the student pictures. It was the four Houses. When I reached the Slytherin section I had a big smile on my face. I looked at every picture and smiled at all my friends. But when I got to his picture I just stayed still. I remembered what happened the night of the graduation. It happened after the feast and before the dance. I wanted to forget about it because I always knew why he did it. He just did so he can brag to all his friends that he fucked at least 90% of the girls when he was in Hogwarts. But I still had this feeling that he did it because he had feelings for me and I had feelings for him. I just couldn't believe it truly happened.
