Chapter 2
That was two months ago and no one had talked to her since. *My life so sucks. If only they all knew what really happened…. *
"Excuse me. Ms. Johnson but would you so kind as to return your thoughts to my class. Ten points from Griffindor." With that Professor Snape returned to the front of the classroom in the dungeon and finished telling everyone the final steps that they had to take to complete their potion that they were supposed to be making this class.
For the making the actual potion Snape had put they class in groups of three. Not knowing whether or not to consider the fact that she was put with these two quiet Slytherin that she was sure must have been a transfer students because she did not recognize her a curse or not. Since Angelina was not exactly on the Griffindor students' good side since her and her ex-boyfriend Fred Weasly broke up she didn't really want to spend the next forty minutes brewing a strong potion with someone who was glaring at her.
*This girl and guy don't look like such a bad sort to be spending a morning with just this once. * Angelina thought to herself as she packed up her books up went over to where the two where already sitting together. Just as this thought finished going through her head she heard Snape say that these were going to be the groups that they were going to be working with for the rest of the year. Not sure that all three of them were going to hit it off right away she looked at her smirking professor to see that he was completely serious. * Oh well. I guess it could have been a lot worse. I could have got stuck with Katie and Fred as my potions partners. *
As Angelina set her cauldron and books on the table the girl introduced herself. "Hi," she said bright as sunshine. "I'm Leeanna Courterallie, and this is Kade Peters." The boy that was sitting by her side just nodded to me as the brunette continued cheerfully. "We just transferred from a school in America this year. We don't quite know our way around yet." ^A.N. the names are pronounced Lee-Ann-a Court-er-ally ^
"Hi," I said back lacking the enthusiasm that Leanna had introduced them with. "I'm Angelina Johnson. It's my pleasure to meet the two of you. Well I think that we had better get this potion started so we don't get a detention from yours truly up there."
"Yeah we've noticed that he isn't the most friendliest person around here," Kade stated mater-of-factly. "Is he always like this or is this one of his bad days?"
"Neither," I said grinning. At the confused looks on their faces I continued. "This is actually one of his good days. He's usually much worse." As the words came out of my mouth all three of us burst out into a quiet fit of giggles. Lucky for us Snape was busy yelling at Lee and his two Slytherin partners to hear us.
Drawing only a couple of stares from the people nearest to us that could hear we calmed down and started to get to work on our potions before we ran out of time to finish it. I used to usually be with Katie and Alicia for partners so I had to do a lot of the planning and actual mixing; but my newly found (and totally unexpected) friends were about as good as I was so the work was spit up evenly. * I think that I am really going to like these two. Even if they do reside in Slytherin.*
When the bell rang it was time to go to the evening meal. With hasty promises to meet up in the library after supper we quickly said our good-byes and went in opposite directions to go to our respective common rooms. Thinking that I have finally found a friend of my own, (not one that I had been introduced to by Katie or Alicia) I walked alone up the steps and turned down one of the corridors that led to the tower. Hearing footsteps coming at an alarming rate from behind her Angelina spun around to look to see who was running up from behind her. At first she didn't recognize who it was then she noticed the locks of dirty blonde hair that bounced up and down as the figure approached her.
"You dropped this at the top of the steps when you left the dungeons," Kade said holding out her scrunchie that had been holding hair out of her face. Flushing at the fact that she didn't even realize that her hair was now falling onto her face and getting into her eyes.
"Thank you. I didn't even notice that it was missing for some reason," Angelina mumbled as she gratefully took her scrunchie back and quickly pulled her hair into a ponytail.
The two stood there in an awkward silence for a couple of minutes just looking at their own feet trying to find something to say. Looking up Angelina broke the silence. "How did you know where to come to find me? I mean that usually the other houses don't know where each other's common rooms are?"
"Well," Kade said blushing a little. "I remember this was the way that I noticed that you came from earlier and when I started to come this way I saw some Griffindors going down to the great hall for supper. I guess that I just put two and two together."
"Well thank you again for going to all the trouble of coming up here to give me this back."
"It was no trouble at all," Kade tried to reassure me blushing even redder.
"Well if you say so." I said with a smirk. "I may not know where your common room is but I do know that it's not anywhere near here. If I remember correctly it is some where in the dungeons."
Laughing with me he stated that I had been indeed right and said he had better be getting back so he could put his books away and not be too late for supper. "I'll see you in the library after supper," he called to me as he turned and returned from the way he came.
Still laughing to myself I continued on my way towards my own common room. Stopping to say hi to the fat lady I gave her the password and went through the hole in the wall stepping into my common room.
When I had just finished climbing through the hole I heard the whole room go silent. I looked around and saw that the face of every Griffindor look towards me and I wondered what was going on. The faces of the fifth years and some of the sixth and seventh years looked as if they knew what was going on but the younger kids looked clueless.
Looking around I saw that Alicia, Katie, Fred, George, and Lee looked as if I had just killed their favorite pet. Summoning up all the courage I could muster I asked, "What's going on? Is someone hurt?"
Looking at her as if she had just sprouted arms out of her head her old friends started laughing, venom dipping from each icy chuckle. "As if you don't know. We all know what happened in potions so you can just forget denying what you did." Katie said all traces of laughter gone, but venom still hanging on to her words.
Noticing that Angelina Katie had still had a confused look on her face George helped her out. "We are referring to the conversation that you and those Slytherins were having."
Getting very mad now Angelina looked at her feet and tried her best to stay calm and not loose her temper. *Yelling and screaming aren't going to get me anywhere.* Angelina said to herself. *But how DARE they say that I can't talk to Leeanna and Kade. Hell they are the only ones that will actually talk to me.* Looking back up and into the eyes of the girl that had been her best friend for four years she choked back tears that where threatening to spill out of her eyes. "So what about that? Did you expect me to just ignore them when they are my partners and be rude to them? I am sorry but I am not like you guys. I can't just ignore someone for something that was not their fault and had absolutely no control over." With that Angelina started to walk towards the stairs that she and her two ex best friends shared.
*Is it just me or is she not just talking about what happened in potions class.* George mused to himself. As he thought of what Angelina had just said he started to feel a little guilty about how he and the rest of their friends had been treating her. Then one thought had popped into his head. *She hurt Fred* Remembering this usually enabled him to go on ignoring her like the rest of them had but not today. Nope. For some strange reason he felt extremely guilty and ashamed of how he had been acting towards her for the past two months. Muttering to himself George walked out of the room and went and had his supper.
As soon as Angelina had thrown her books on her bed she took off running down the stairs and didn't stop running until she had ran down the corridor leading to the painting. As she rounded the corner did Angelina slow her pace. Stopping outside the great hall she took a deep breath and entered the crowded hall. Instead of taking her usual spot she went and sat with the first years. Having no idea what was going on with the older kids in their house they were ecstatic to have a fifth year sitting with them that wasn't a prefict.
When she was done Angelina politely excused herself from the conversation that the first years engaged her in about what it was like to be doing much more advanced things that they couldn't wait to try. Skipping going back to the common room, Angelina had went strait to the library. Even though she wasn't due to meet Leeanna and Kade here for at least another thirty minutes.
The librarian looked up as she entered and smiled at her. Angelina returned the smile. Since she and her friends had fought Angelina had spent just about every spare minute here. She had enjoyed the fact that the library was usually empty at this time and she could have it just about all to herself. Finding a book that she thought might be interesting she took it off the shelf. Then went to sit on the floor in between two rows of books, at the farthest point in the library.
Settling herself down to read the book she looked at her watch. *They should be here in about ten minutes.* She thought. That should give me time to start my book. She opened the cover she just stared blankly at the pages. She couldn't concentrate on what the words said. All she could do is think of how all her old friends just judged her and how Leeanna and Kade just wanted to be nice and have a polite conversation. Connecting the two different groups of people got her mad again. *Ha! Katie and Fred should take lessons on how to be nice. Or else just go and join Slytherin.*
"Hey Angelina! You're here already. I thought that you weren't going to come." At this Angelina looked up startled that someone was talking to her. Seeing a rather confused look on her new acquaintances' face Angelina looked down at her watch. *Shit. They must have been here for a half an hour already.*
"I'm so sorry. I got here an hour ago and you weren't here so I thought that I would read a book while I was waiting for you. I guess I got caught up in the book and forgot about the time. It's just so quiet in this part of the library and no one comes back here." Angelina spilled out her story while blushing furiously as she closed the book that was in her hands. *Why did I have to come back here? If I stayed up front then I would have heard them come in and then I wouldn't have looked as if I was hiding.* Mentally slapping herself she got to her feet and walked out of the little shelter that the two rows provided. "Well I guess since that I wasted so much of our time already we had better get started, hey?"
Kade opened his mouth to say something when Leeanna beat him to it. "You didn't waste our time. It's not as if we are really busy. There were only a few things to do in the common room tonight any ways."
"Ok. Well if you two are sure. Why don't we go and sit over…" she trailed off when she noticed a particularly large group of people enter the library.
Noticing the look on Angelina's face as she let her sentence trail off the two friends exchanged a glance when she wasn't looking. Seeing that I had opened and closed my mouth after I looked from the group of people that looked like some of the Griffindors that I had seen earlier that day then back to Angelina, Kade gave a slight nod of his head.
"Hey, Angelina, hunni. Is there something wrong?" Leeanna asked. When she noticed Angelina's still blank face she decided to continue. "Do they not want you talking to us because we are in Slytherin?"
"No… well uh yeah. But I don't care. That's not what's wrong."
"Well we don't want you to fight with you friends because of us." As soon as Kade said the word friends Angelina gave a cold laugh that dripped poison. "I think that we should leave and leave you to sort out things with your friends."
"No. Stay. I could care less what they thought. Besides we're not fighting because I came up here to study and hang out with you guys. We have been fighting for two months already. Besides, I think that it's about time that I finally hang out with some one. Even if it doesn't meet the approval of my old best friends." With that Angelina turned on her heal and walked to the table that was the farthest from the group that had just entered.
For the next two hours Angelina and her two new friends studied different potions while doing their best impersonations of the potions master. They were giggling so hard that had been asked by madam Price three times to be quiet. The librarian didn't kick the trio out because she secretly thought that the three were doing pretty good imitating their professor, not only that it was the first time that she had seen Angelina happy in two months. Madam Price also noticed how Angelina's face lit up when this Kade kid was talking to her, but even more noticeable was the way Angelina looked like she was in heaven when Kade kissed her head after the two knocked them together. Smiling to herself the librarian went back to her work, keeping an ever watchful eye on the trio.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
On the other side of the library.
"Why doesn't Madam Price kick them out already?" Katie whined. "Besides what is the bloody hell is Angelina doing laughing like a maniac to with a couple of Slytherins anyway?" She couldn't stand the way that that new Kade boy was laughing with Angelina.
"Why don't we go back to the common room? It's probably more quieter there than here any way." Fred stated. The only reason he wanted to get out of the library was because he couldn't stand watching the three. It wasn't the fact that Angelina was having fun with out having them around. It wasn't the fact that they were Slytherins. It was the fact that when she finally found the answer to one of her questions she jumped up and gave a different boy the hug that he would have got if they were still going out. *Hell I'd have got that hug even if we were just speaking to each other.* The scene before him just got to much for him to handle when the boy and Angelina bumped heads picking up a book that she dropped. If it was just the fact that they hit their heads together it would have been no big deal. What made it a huge deal was that he kissed her head where they had hit and then she did the same thing, while blushing and the other girl going 'awww'.
"That's it I've had it. I'm going back to the Tower. Stay if you like. I just need some quiet to get my work done. I don't know about you but I don't feel like getting a detention for a Friday night just because the library was as noisy as a circus." Saying that Fred packed up his books and stalked out of the library, not even noticing that all of his friends were following him. *What the hell Fred? You can't be jealous that Angelina is hanging out with another boy. Snap out of it.*
Fred didn't realize where he was until he had almost ran into the painting. He quickly gave the fat lady the password without acknowledging her questions about if he was ok and if there was anything wrong.
About two hours later the common room was deserted except for one person staring into the fire place. He sat thinking after every one else was in bed. Not that he would admit it to anyone but he was staying up to wait for Angelina. It was eleven thirty and she had still not came back. Wondering where on earth she could have got to he had decided to wait up for her to return.
Trying as quiet as she possibly could, Angelina gave the fat lady the password, which was a little angry at the hour that she was being woken up at. Thanking her quietly, Angelina promised the she would try to get back at a more reasonable time. Tip toeing across the common room she noticed a figure on the couch. Think that it was just someone who fell asleep studying she continued on her way up the stairs to her dorm.
Angelina jumped and thought that she was going to have a heart attack when she heard some one speak. "Well well, what's this? Shouldn't you be in bed already? Where in the bloody hell were you?" said a very distinctly male voice came floating angrily from behind her….
