STARTING FROM THE BEGINNING CHAPTER 4
The following weeks passed quickly and soon, it was time to go to Hogwarts .
Helena was a little scared . Severus told her everything she needed to know about Hogwarts but still, what if she didn't feel good there ?
Severus tried to reassure her but it didn't work .
« Helena are you ready ? » Severus asked
« I think so . i have everything so we can go » she replied
*******
They once again travelled by portkey, and arrived to the train station
« Here's your ticket » Snape said « Don't lose it . I'll see you at the welcoming feast »
« What am I supposed to do until the feast ? You're the only person I know » Helena replied
« True but I don't think you'll have friends if you arrive with me . » he explained, smiling sadly
Helena returned his smile and went to the Platform 9 3/4
' Walk straight through the wall' Snape had explained her the day before .
« Well it shouldn't be that hard »
Helena sighed before taking all her stuff and doing what severus had told her
There were hundreds of students, much more than in Beauxbatons .
She finally got in the train , looking for a free compartment when she hit a boy .
« hey watch where you're going » he said
« Oh sorry » helena replied « I was looking for somewhere to sit and I didn't see you »
« You're the student from Beauxbatons right ? » he asked
« Yes . i'm Helena Setendale » She smiled at him . He seemed nice, and kinda cute
« And i'm Draco Malfoy . Welcome to Hogwarts . You'll see it's great . Except if you're in Hufflepuff » he said
« Or if you 're in Gryffindor with Potter » Draco added
« That might be true . i've been told that Potter is obsessed by his celebrity » helena told him, happy to have a conversation with somebody
« I think i'm going to like you » Draco told her, with a smile
They spent the rest of the time talking and Helena was happy to have someone she could call a friend
' Well it's easier then I thought it would be'
When the train arrived, She and draco got out but Snape took Helena
« Come with me » he said in a cold tone « You're going to be sorted in a house »
Helena whispered a quick ' see you soon ' to draco before following Severus
He was right, she thought, Snape's even worse at school
**********
Snape took her through the now familiar corridors and they arrived in the great hall .
She, once again, was amazed by the beauty of the castle .
Most of the students had already taken their seats .
That' s when dumbledore speaked
« This year, we have the pleasure to welcome Helena Setendale ,a student from the school of Beauxbatons, in France . She will be sorted and I hope you will treat her as any of your classmates » he said
« Now, Miss Setendale, put the hat and he will tell you where you belong » Dumbledore added
Helena cast a quick look towards Snape before putting the hat on her head .
He started talking
« oh yes . i see many things in your head . Slytherin will be good for you but not as well as . hum yes i definitely think it will be better . You will discover some things about yourself in . GRYFFINDOR » the hat announced
Helena smiled and wen to sit at the Gryffindor table where everybody was welcoming her warmly .
« Hi I'm Hermione Granger. I'm one of the prefects . i hope you will enjoy being in Gryffindor and the classes too » the girl said
« Don't listen to her . She's the only one who likes the classes here . i'm Ron . Ron Weasley » a red-headed boy next to her said
« It's nice to meet you all » Helena said . People were far more friendly then in Beauxbatons
While Ron and Hermione where talking to Helena, harry was lost in thought . When Helena came into the hall, he got a feeling he had seen her somwhere . Now he knew .
She was the girl Voldemort killed . he was absolutely sure
Then , how could she be there ?
He suspected that she didn't change of school for no reason
Dumbledore's voice brought him out of his wondering
« As many of you know, our last Denfense against the dark arts retired at the end of the year .
This year, we have the pleasure to welcome a teacher who has already spent a year in Hogwarts as the defence against the darks arts teacher :
Mr. Remus Lupin »
As Dumbledore finished talking, they were two sorts of reactions
The happy ones , mostly in Gryffindor . They were happy to finally have a nice teacher who knew what he was talking about .
And the angry ones, in Slytherin . They were revolted that a werewolf was going to be one of their teacher
Seeing that, Dumbledore started speaking again
« I must ask you not to worry about Mr. Lupin's condition . I assure you it's perfectly safe . Professor Snape is making him a wolfsbane potion everymonth to prevent him from hurting people, and himself »
After that, the Slytherin seemed to cool down but some were still looking at him with hatred in their eyes
******************
« You see , you're going to have a lot of fun in Hogwarts this year » said Ron to Helena, as the trio walked to their dormitories
« And you see the subjects are fascinating . The teachers give you enough work for you to . » Hermione couldn't finish , she was cut off by Ron
« Herm, please. Helena has just arrived here . She doesn't need the sermon about work . Neither do we, by the way . » Ron said, slightly annoyed
« Oh, it's okay. I don't mind working a little . And all the teachers seem really nice » Helena replied
« All of them ? Well Snape isn't really nice, especially if you're in Gryffindor. » explained Ron
« I noticed that when I was staying at his house this summer »
Ron almost choked when he heard that
« You what ? ? » he asked her
« Well after . some stuff happened I needed a house to stay and Professor Dumbledore told me to stay at Snape's . He's not that bad » Helena told him
She had been right all along, her potion teacher wasn't really popular among students .
But he surely seemed really gifted in the art of potions, unlike her past teacher
Anyway, the students at Hogwarts all seemed very nice . Ron was funny and Hermione very intelligent . But Harry didn't say anything of the evening . And he was looking at her like she was a ghost .
He didn't seem as bad as she was told . She knew him for about an hour and he hadn't open his mouth once .
But why would Severus lie to her ?
« Harry ? Is everything okay ? » Helena asked him
« What ? Oh yeah, fine. I'm fine » said Harry, but not really thinking it
Helena was about to reply when somebody else joined them . It was Draco . He was too, one of the nice students, she met at Hogwarts .
« Helena ? Can I talk to you for a second ? » he asked, in a tone very different than the one he reserved for Harry and his friends
The trio was taken back when Helena agreed and followed him to someplace more private .
*************
There was an arkward silence before Draco said
« So you're in Gryffindor ? »
It was more a fact than a question .
« Yeah . I couldn't really choose where I wanted to be » helena explained
« I know . I just hoped that . But it doesn't matter now » said Draco in a regretful tone
« Draco, the fact that i'm not in Slytherin doesn't mean we can't be friends » Helena told him
Draco lifted his head, looking Helena in the eyes .
« I don't know . Potter and his friends will probably convince you that I'm not good or something » He said, looking at Harry, Ron and Hermione, standing near
« They can't tell me who I can see and who I can't . I decide . And I like you . » She told him with a smile
« Really ? »
« Yeah ! i'd like to be your friend »
Draco smiled before saying
« I guess i'll see you tomorrow then »
« Yes, tomorrow »
And with this words, they both went on different ways
********
Severus Snape laid awake in his bed . He never liked the first day of class.
Today, he was thinking about Helena . During the weeks she spent at the Snape manor, he grew to like her. And it made it hard that she was the daughter of THAT man .
But she grew up away from him, so maybe she wasn't the same
Snape could only hope . Hope that the fact she was hanging out with Potter won't make her hate the greasy potion master .
Because, like it or not, he liked that girl a lot
TBC
No still not telling who helena's father is . But I will tell in * look at the storyline I made * about 15 chapters . Sorry (
Well you can review and it will make me post the chapters sooner
And don't forget to check my others stories
