I'm having issues with the italics! So if something in my previous chapters
doesn't make sense, try thinking of it as a thought, which is what I've
been using italics for. But I think from here on out I'm just going to use
an asterisk. You know, one of these: *
*damn Microsoft Word*
see? Muahahaha (sorry, caffeine rush)
Disclaimer: I don't own any of the Harry Potter characters, only the ones I made up (Daisy Keane, Dirk Sivonen, and Professor Berlin, who will come in soon I promise! Well not really soon, probably.. chapter 10? Anyways I'll try!
*Also, for this chapter, you need to keep in mind that Dean is Muggle-born and Seamus is half-and-half (just like Daisy! Woohoo!) and you need to know that Dirk Sivonen is pureblood (well duh he's in Slytherin!) okay so anyways here's the chapter!
The Gryffindors arrived at their Care of Magical Creatures class early so they could squeeze in a few words with Hagrid. "H'lo there," Hagrid said as they walked towards him. "Hi Hagrid," the students all chorused. "Hey, Hagrid, you met Daisy yet?" Dean asked. Hagrid beamed down at Daisy. "O' course I have! Couldn' miss out on a chance to meet our newest Gryffindor, now, could I?" Daisy grinned. They all moved away from Hagrid as the Slytherins arrived. "You know, I've been wondering.." Daisy said. "Ron, you told me that Slytherin's symbol is a snake, and that's why Dirk Sivonen is in Slytherin. Why did I get put in Gryffindor, then?" Ron lost himself in thought. "Well, your personality, of course, is the key factor. But, it's like with Dirk, the animal that you conjured was the house symbol. Plus, I think the little patches of color meant something." "They were the flags of everywhere you lived, Daisy, weren't they?" Seamus asked. Daisy was stunned. "How did you know that? Could you really see that far?" "All I saw was the Bulgarian flag, the English flag, and the Irish flag, which was the biggest one, right?" "Yeah.." Daisy was still amazed. Seamus looked proud. "So I figured the others must be Germany, Lithuania, and Norway." Just as Daisy had begun to regain her composure, she was again shocked. *He remembered all the countries,* she thought to herself. *Not even Viktor could ever do that.* She couldn't help herself; she walked over to Seamus and gave him a huge hug. He was so (happily!) surprised, all he could do was hug back and grin like the lovesick fool that he was. Malfoy walked over with his two human apes and Dirk. "Daisy? I'd like to apologize," he said. "I didn't even introduce myself and my companions on the train. I'm Draco Malfoy, and this is Crabbe and Goyle." The large boys grunted in agreement. "And this," he added, motioning to Dirk, "is Dirk Sivonen, the pureblood transfer student." Seamus lunged out, wanting to hit Malfoy and wipe that snobby smirk off his face, but Harry and Dean stopped him and dragged him over to where Hagrid was standing with a crate, ready to begin the lesson. Seamus had good cause to want to hurt Malfoy. With that one remark, Malfoy had insulted four people: Seamus, the girl he liked, her best friend, and his best friend. Two Muggle-borns and two half bloods. Seamus only wished he could get a good hit on Malfoy before summer. He shook his head, trying to clear out the thoughts, and watched Hagrid pull a forthal out of the crate. (A/N: a 'forthal' is just something I made up, spur of the moment; no clue what a forthal actually is. Any ideas?)
*~*~*~*
Hermione and Daisy tired easily of Dirk Sivonen, who had pulled his little "leer and wink at the pretty Gryffindor girls" trick again during the lesson, quite a few times in fact. Daisy could tell that a couple of the boys were irritated too, or maybe that was just from hearing the girls complain about him. Daisy made up her mind that the next time he did that, she would have something to say about it - to his face. The Gryffindors all walked silently up to dinner from Hagrid's cabin. Lavender Brown and Parvati Patil, the other Gryffindor girls in fifth year, had also been on the receiving end of Dirk's ogling looks, and neither of them was too happy about it, either. Parvati was the first to speak. "Ooh, that Dirk Sivonen, think just because he's got an accent, all the girls will swoon over him. In his dreams maybe. I'd like to rip off his.." "Parvati!" Dean's eyes were wide. "Don't say that!" All the boys nodded in agreement. Even Neville agreed. "Dirk Sivonen may be a Slytherin, but I wouldn't wish that on any male, even Malfoy.." He shuddered. Daisy stuck up for Parvati. "Well, he certainly deserves it! He's got no right to do that to us! Maybe if he was missing a certain appendage, he'd stop, since he wouldn't have anything left to think with!" Harry shook his head in disbelief, wanting to change the subject. "I still can't believe Malfoy wants to apologize to you, Daisy!" "Well, I'm not going to accept it! He can apologize all he wants, but he'll never make up for all those 'pureblood' comments. Boy, would I love to kick him in the.. Oops, sorry guys." Daisy turned pink. "It's okay," Harry said. "Malfoy brings out the worst in people." Ron nodded. "Yeah," he added, "sometimes I want to kick him like that, but then I remember, oh wait! He probably hasn't got much to kick!" They all laughed and walked into the Great Hall for dinner.
