Tragic Tales of Teenagers
Chapter Eleven
Back To School
The plane ride home was awful! It was a bumpy ride and Whitley ended up tossing her cookies, literally. But now everyone was at the Weasley's. They had gotten everything from their homes and were staying there for the rest of the summer. Today was their yearly trip to Diagon Alley. Bill, Charlie, Percy, and Oliver wouldn't be at Hogwarts this year though. They had already done their seven years at Hogwarts and were going on with their lives. Bill was working in a bank, Charlie with Dragons, Percy with the Ministry, and Oliver had accepted an offer from a professional Quidditch team. Now it was just Fred, George, Ron, Ginny, Harry, Whitley, Allie, and Libbie.
They all used Floo Powder like always. They went pairs to save time and powder. They fire roared as each pair yelled, "Diagon Alley!" Everyone agreed to meet up at Flourish and Blotts at noon. That gave them plenty of time to gather all the things they needed. Fred and George headed straight to a joke shop. Ron and Harry went for ice cream. The girls went to Madam Malkin's Robes for All Occasions. They wanted some nice new dress robes for the dances that Hogwarts would be having this year. Libbie picked out some blue robes, Allie got a lovely shade of yellow robes, Ginny picked out pink, and Whitley got deep emerald robes. They also got some new work robes and school clothes since they had grown taller over the summer.
Then they stopped by the new salon. The stylists could work magic with your hair. Whitley got her hair done in braids and some acrylic nails put on. They were black with white tips. Everyone else got their hair and nails done as well. When they came out of the salon, they looked stunning.
After doing the rest of their shopping, they met up at Flourish and Blotts. They picked up their schoolbooks and got a few extras as well. Allie got a book called Learning The Ways. She tried to hide the book from everyone but Ginny said loudly, "What ways?" Allie went pink and paid for her book silently.
After the summer officially ended and everyone had climbed onto the Hogwarts Express, a new life began for everyone. It was like being set free into a whole new world. They could do whatever they wanted now.
Allie and Fred were making out in a private compartment. The windows steamed up as they passed a meadow. Whitley was alone in her own compartment because she was changing into her Hogwarts things. As she put on her shirt, Draco walked in.
"Oh look, it's the Muggle!" Draco joked.
"I'm not a Muggle, it turns out my father is Sirius Black," Whitley said flatly. Draco stared at her blankly. He sat down across from her and stretched out his legs, his knee touching her leg. He didn't move though.
"So that Bill thing?" Draco asked.
"It's over. We decided to end it since he had to go back to work," Whitley said looking at him.
"I figured that would happen. Same with Oliver and Allie, right?" Draco said. Whitley nodded. "Do you want something to eat? I hear the trolley coming."
"Sure," Whitley replied.
Draco ordered some Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans and shared them with her. Oddly enough, the two of them were getting along and were having a decent conversation. They talked about different things all the way to Hogwarts.
"We're here," Whitley said sometime later. The compartment doors opened and they hopped out. Whitley walked over to join her friends, Draco following. "This is going to be so much fun!"
After being taken to the doors of Hogwarts, everyone went into the Great Hall for the start of term feast. Whitley sat at Slytherin table with Draco while everyone else went to the Gryffindor table. Dumbledore sat with all of the teachers in front of everyone at their own table. Dumbledore looked younger today, but perhaps it was just the bright lights. The bewitched ceiling showed the sun shining brightly outside.
The chatter of the students silenced as Professor McGonagall stepped in front of everyone, a line of scared first years lined up near her.
"When I call your name you will sit on the stool and place the sorting hat on your head. Then you will go to the table with the rest of your House," Minerva McGonagall said loudly. The hat sang a new sorting song and Minerva began calling the names of first years to be sorted.
Afterwards, Dumbledore got up to make some start of term announcements. "Welcome back to Hogwarts everyone. I'm for sure it will be a great year. I just want everyone to know that this year at Hogwarts will be rather interesting. Classes start the day after tomorrow. Now, let the feast begin!"
Tons of delicious food appeared on the platters in front of the students and staff. First years gasped and ghosts flew around. Nearly Headless Nick popped up out of nowhere as the Bloody Baron swished his sword around like a mad man.
After feasting on the loveliest foods, all of the students were escorted to their dormitories. Whitley noticed a note lying on her bed. It read:
Dear Whitley,
I understand you have found out that I am your father. Please meet me tomorrow night in the Forbidden Forest. You will know where to find me. Come after you've eaten supper. It's best to where the invisibility cloak I have left for you. It was your mothers and I think you should have it now.
Sirius Black
Whitley read the letter over and over again. She didn't understand any of it. She fell asleep in her bed after a long time of thinking things over. Allie and Fred were up talking in their common room.
"I think I am ready to move forward in this relationship," Fred said seriously. Allie nodded and looked at him intimately.
