THE DEVIL WITH AN ANGEL'S FACE

Chapter 8:The Beginning of the War

DISCLAIMER: Blah, Blah, Blah. I can't write like she can, so you know it isn't the real thing.

While he held me in his arms, a wave of happiness hit me. I mean I had just found out that my only remaining relatives (my father died while playing Rugby) were dead.

But I somehow felt very calm and happy. I stopped crying and James looked into my eyes, and we sat like that for a while, just looking at each other.

Suddenly an owl flew in and dropped a letter on my lap. The owl flew off immediately, without even looking back. I opened the letter and read it. By the time I was done, I was seething. Here's what the letter said:

Hahaha Mudblood! Did you honestly think your mother and grandma were dead? Nope, that was just a little joke I made up for you. Did you enjoy it? I sure did, seeing you run out of the Hall like that, with stupid Potter practically at your heels. Anyway, gotta go…

-Lucius Malfoy-

I handed it to James and he took one look at it and got up from the couch.

'That piece of shit,' was all he said, over and over, until I interrupted him.

'James, I want revenge. I can't believe he would stoop to something this low, but--' James interrupted me by saying, 'I can believe it. I got an idea. It may not be the best, but it's a start.'

James told me the plan and I laughed out loud. True, it wasn't the best, but it would sure humiliate him. 'But right now we have class with the Slytherins and remember, you have to pretend to be sad. Remember, you didn't get this letter,' he said, waving Malfoy's letter in the air.

We walked down the stairs, and crept pass the librarian. Our Herbology class started ten minutes ago and we really didn't want to be yelled at by Ms. Peasprout.

But when we finally reached the greenhouses everyone was still sitting outside the doors, waiting for the lesson to begin. Remus filled us in, after asking me if I was all right, which I whispered 'fine' back to him. I could see Malfoy looking at me out of the corner of my eye.

Ms. Peasprout had been to the greenhouse about ten minutes before the lesson had started and she locked the door when she went in. They had tried banging on the door but she hadn't answered. Well, that was fine by everyone, no one liked her, she was a mean, old, smelly lady who would yell at us for no reason. No one wanted to go to Dumbledore, so we just sat in front of the greenhouses, in case she came out.

James and I told the others about our plan and I (tried) to look sad. Malfoy kept glancing at me, which became very annoying. Remus and Sirius were just as mad as James was, if not more. They were ready to stand up right then and beat the living daylights out of him.

'So, when are we going to do this?,' Remus asked, after he had calmed down.

I smiled and started planning.







Littlebit's Letter: Watch out for the next chapter. I think it's just gonna start with the prank, I don't know. We'll see. Thanx to all those who have reviewed!!! Ciao! P.S. To: EmmaCF: I was born and raised in the U.S. until a few years ago. That's why I can write so well. But most people here can speak english really well.
