Hey everyone, thanks for your reviews and support on my first story, I
wrote this in a short amount of time so its just a short chapter. All my
chapters are probably gonna be short, because I just write till I can't
think of anything more to write, and it's a chapter.
Angel Becky Thanks heaps babe you're my first ever reviewer!!!I'm sure the story you're gonna write will be fantastic.
wishful-thinking3 I love death-like things too, like stories and movies and books etc. And thanks for the compliment on my writing, I was unsure if it would bore people so it's greatly appreciated.
XOX Hey babe! Yeah I decided that I might as well get myself an account as I'm always on Fanfiction, so yeah. I'll try and update heaps, but you have to make an effort too!! I know it can be hard now that I've started. Thanks for the tip, and thanks for the praise. And this chapter can be dedicated to you!!
AngelDragonStar Yeah I decided to do something where Draco was the one being picked on, but it'll probably change a bit.
EbonyQuill Well you wanted it, so here ya go!
The Announcement
As soon as the Hogwarts Express slowed to a stop, Ron, Hermione and Harry were the first to grab their things and scrabble off the train, breathing deeply the cool night air. For some reason, it was almost like that girl had sucked all of the oxygen out of that compartment, and it was necessary to catch ones breath.
"Who the bloody hell was that girl?" Ron wanted to know. She was so strange, it was almost as if she weren't real, or not quite alive, almost like a bewitched doll that just sat where you put her but watched every move you made without really looking.
"Wish I knew," replied Harry. "I feel so weird around her, so awkward."
Hermione was struggling to catch up with the two boys larger strides. "Yeah, it's like she has the presence of an old lady, one you can't say anything around cos it might be rude." she said, slightly out of breath.
The three students got into one of the Hogwarts carriages, on the way to start their 6th yeah of school.
Home at last, thought Harry happily, while his friends chatted.
***
Draco waited behind, pretending to have lost something and was in need of finding it, urging Crabbe and Goyle ahead. In truth, he wanted to be sure that she was off the train and way ahead of him. After ten minutes, he set off to the Hogwarts Castles carriages by himself, not minding being late as long as he didn't have another encounter with her. Well, just yet, anyway. He knew he would have to sooner or later, it was inevitable. He was drawn to her, he couldn't resist her, he never had been able too. But he couldn't let anyone know, so he would just have to keep his distance for the mean- time.
He finally reached the castle with a sick feeling in his stomach, hoping he wouldn't have to see her. When he reached the doors of the Great Hall, he paused for a moment, took a deep breath, and then pushed them open, ready to face to school with his carefully trained smug, uncaring look. But no one looked around to see it.
He quickly sat down between Crabbe and Goyle, and was quickly lost in his own thoughts. Before he knew it, the new fist years were at their tables, and Dumbledore was standing up to announce dinner. But such an announcement did not come forth from his lips, instead it was one that Draco had been dreading.
"Students, before you start to fill up your bellies, I have one more announcement. We have a new student, not going into the First year, but the sixth. Please meet Arilyn May von Ijsselstein. She has been previously sorted into Slytherin. I trust you will all make her feel welcome.
"Yeah, that's if she'll let anyone" remarked Ron to Harry and Hermione, all three seated together at the Gryffindor table.
"And now that you have long ago tired of an old mans ramblings, eat!" finished Dumbledore, and the tables quickly filled with food.
Eyes followed Arilyn as she made her way not to sit at the Slytherin table, but over to the doors of the Great Hall, following the dreaded Potions Teacher, and Head of Slytherin House, Professor Snape.
***
Arilyn followed Snape into the Slytherin dungeons, where he told her breifly that she would have a seperate room from the other girls dorms, and to reach it she should go down the normal stairs to the girls dorm but instead of turning into any of the rooms, she should instead walk through a room covered by an empty portrait. There she would find her things and her new room.
She simply nodded in reply, and set off in the direction she had been told to go, while he headed not back to the Great Hall, but to his own rooms, also in the dungeons, to ponder the strange and dark feeling that he had of this girl. She was definately not normal, and probably, he decided, not even actually human.
Meanwhile, the students in the Great Hall continued to talk, laugh, and chatch up with eachother, with the new girl Arilyn quickly forgotten for the moment.
