Chapter 8.
Bed time.
A/N: Ok this is how it's been going. I am sooooo sorry that it has taken me this long, but I am a senior this year and have a lot of things I have to be graded on… But just think 4 and a ½ months till I graduate!!! Then I will hopefully upload once a week if only that. Ok lets get dirty!
Jamie.
"Hey are beds are next to each others." Blaise said to Harriet. "Maybe we can talk about stuff together. You know girl stuff."
Harriet sat on her bed and looked up at the standing girl. She didn't want to make any friends, because tomorrow she was going to ask to be transferred into another house. That's when a girl who's face looked like a pug walked over and pushed Harriet on to her back. "Listen up all of you. I am the one in charge of this dorm, and if you have anything to say about it, you'll answer to Millicent. Understand?"
"Why not stand up for yourself?" Harriet jumped up to face the girls. "Only a coward would need someone else to fight your battles." She was grabbed by the scruff of the neck by a bigger girl. She reminded Harriet a lot of Dudley. The only thing was, she didn't look the same size as a hippo. "Get off me, or you'll wish you had never heard the name Harry Potter."
"I already wish that. Why are you even in Slytherin? You are Muggle raised." The pug girl said in a mean fashion.
"Yeah, but not muggle born." Blaise stood up to face them too.
"I said let go!" Harriet quickly shoved her elbow into the other girls chest and then hit her nose before jumping away. "Now… tell me what your name is Princess." The last word was dripping with venom.
"I'm Pansy Parkinson. Leader to the first year girls in Slytherin." She sneered.
"Well then. I guess you'll have to fight me for the title. Because I will now bow to you." Harriet crossed her arms across her chest.
"It has been destined from when my mother was in Slytherin. It is my family right to be here, and in charge." She flipped her hair. "Just like Draco is in charge of boys, and all first years."
"Don't worry I'll challenge him tomorrow. Show come on hit me." Pansy pulled her fist back and swung with all her might, Harriet being smaller and lighter ducked, sending the other girl off balance who fell over. "Is this who you want to lead you all?"
The other girls all shook their heads and looked at Pansy. "No, she isn't the one who should lead us at all." Millicent said in a gruff voice. "Even a small little squirt like you'd be better."
"What me? No. You don't want a dictatorship, but like America, a democracy." She quickly shot out to the other girls. Pansy was still on the floor laughing to herself.
"You'd rather have her? Ok lets vote. All in favor of Me say Ai!" The room was silent. "All for Harriet?" The other girls both raised their hands. "Well then Potter. Just you watch yourself." She started towards her own bed when she said quite plainly. "I'll get you Potter. When I do you will never recover. Do you understand me on this bitch?"
For her very first night in her new home she made a friend, a legacy for herself, and an enemy. What was a girl to do? Sleep. It came quickly and washed away all the fears, hate, and hidden deep down with in herself, sorrow. How was she to live with herself? All she could dream about was the fight with Pansy. However there was a hint of pride in herself. She believed that maybe had her parents been alive then they would have been very pleased with her in the odd parental way.
A/N: Look I know it's short… however I have been having hard times at home. If you want me to go on with this story please e-mail me at Wolfyfrnd@aol.com, please have the subject be Harry Potter the BOY who lived? Or something like that. If I don't know your address and cant tell what the subject is I will erase it. I am so very sorry for doing this, but I need to know that people are really reading this.
I tried to do something very stupid. I tried to kill myself. If it wasn't for one of my friends I don't think I would be here right now. As in an earlier A/N I told you all that my dog had passed away, well my personal pet, p-chan passed away very close to my birthday. I couldn't handle it and took a few sleeping pills. Then I called my friend for help. She drove two hours to be with me, and kept me awake. However I didn't tell her I took the pills.
Heather if you are reading this, thank you so very much. I meant what I said about how I was feeling. You saved my life and I don't know how to thank you enough.
