*~*~Thanks for reviewing people! I really appreciate the comments but I
don't mind if you tell me that there's something wrong. I'd actually like
to know! ~*~*~
Shanna yawned and looked at the clock. It said 10:32. She groaned. It was true that she didn't have to get up since they had finished their lessons but she didn't usually sleep so late. Today was the day that the Students came back to Hogwarts and the first years were sorted. She was a little nervous about meeting the new kids but decided not to worry about it for now.
She rolled out of bed and climbed sleepily into her new clothes. She brushed out her hair and got ready to go out. She opened the door and started out only to have her hand grabbed and held. She turned and her lips met with Scott's. When he let her go she smiled at him.
"Good morning" she said sweetly to him.
He returned the smile and said, "I was just about to come in and wake you up. You slept later than usual"
She smiled guiltily "Yea I know."
He gave a little laugh and said "That's a good thing you don't seem to get much sleep anymore"
"Anymore? I've never gotten much sleep. But never mind lets go downstairs" she said quickly, trying to avoid the subject.
He started to say something but decided against it and said instead, "One last thing." And he kissed her one last long time.
She smiled when they were finished and they walked down together holding hands.
When Anya saw them come down she said, from James' lap "Now I know it doesn't take that long for you to wake her up."
They both blushed but Shanna retorted "At least people can wake me up without me saying something about James in my sleep!"
James smiled slightly and Anya blushed with a defeated look. Scott led Shanna down to sit and pulled her onto his lap. She smiled and felt less nervous about the upcoming day. Just then Harry came through the portrait hole and took a look at the two couples. He stared for a moment and they just stared right back.
"What are you doing here?" Shanna blurted out.
He gave her a look and said "I'm your defense against the dark arts teacher this year." He gave her a disapproving look as she gave him a disgusted look.
'At least this'll give me someone to bag on in class.' Shanna thought to herself even though she was giving him an ugly look.
Scott cleared his throat loudly and Harry and Shanna looked away.
"Sorry" Shanna muttered.
"Bitch." Harry said under his breath.
"I'm not deaf" Shanna said raising her voice a little.
"Uh. Shanna" Scott said trying to avoid a fight.
She bit her lip trying not to say anything, even if pissing teachers off was her favorite sport.
"You listen to me young lady" Harry began
"Young lady?!"
"Yea, you are younger than me aren't you?"
"Gladly" she said almost turning her glare away.
Harry stumbled for words at first then said, "If your parents heard about this-"
"My Parents?! I don't give a shit about those fuckin' people that call themselves my parents!" she shouted. She then got up, passed him, and headed for the door.
"Shanna where-?" Scott said jumping up.
"Out!" she shouted back, leaving through the portrait hole.
"What?" Harry started, not knowing that those simple words could do so much damage.
Everyone had a pained look on their faces since he had mentioned her parents. Then, Anya spoke up in a hesitant voice "Shanna was adopted, she never knew her parents.."
"Oh no." Harry groaned putting a hand over his face. He knew what it was like to never know your parents and what it felt like when people talked about them without knowing they weren't alive.
Scott got up to follow her but Harry stopped him "Let me go" he said. Scott hesitated for a minute but let him go instead.
Shanna stormed out of the room and ran, on the verge of tears, down the hall. 'God, how can he talk about my parents. He never knew them! He doesn't even know what it's like not to have any!' she thought while running. She almost ran into a man with long black robes on and greasy black hair, but ignored him and headed out the doors toward the forest.
"Excuse me young lady!" he shouted after her only to be passed by Harry. "Potter! What-?"
"Where's she go?" Harry asked quickly.
The man gave a look toward the forest. "Shit!" Harry muttered, running after her.
Just as she entered the forest he lost site of her. He ran through the trees every once in a while getting glimpses of a hand or leg. "Shanna!" he called trying to make her stop. Just then Chrystal jumped out in front of him and growled, "Let her go." Harry hesitated for a moment at the site of the large wolf standing before him but said, "I can't. She can't be out here it's too dangerous!"
"She'll be fine, I assure you. Now leave her alone." She growled again.
"But- still! I can't. I need to speak to her-I need to explain!" He said
This time the wolf looked him over and growled, less fiercely "You're the potter boy aren't you?"
Harry nodded and the wolf continued, "Fine then, follow me." And she took off in a slightly different direction.
Harry followed until they came to a small waterfall and lake. In the water, on a small rock, sat Shanna, crying silently into her drawn up knees. Harry hesitated, thinking about what he was going to say but made his way slowly toward the closest edge to her.
"Shanna" he called to her.
"Go away" she shouted she shouted hoarsely.
"Look, Shanna.. I'm sorry, I didn't know about your parents. If I did-"
"What?" she shouted, "What would you do? Say you're sorry and feel bad for me? You don't know what's its like and I don't want your pity!" She still had her back to him and tears were streaming down her face.
"But your wrong" he said. He knew she didn't like to be told this but he went on anyway. "I DO know what it feels like to never know your parents. I didn't know mine.they were both killed."
At first he didn't get a reply from her but then she said, not quite yelling anymore "At least you know what happened to yours. All I know is that mine are dead."
He hesitated for a moment thinking of a way to talk to her without acting like he felt sorry for her. Then, he got an idea "well at least you didn't have to live with relatives that completely hated you." he was fairly positive that no one could be as bad as the Dursley's.
She seemed to be getting more comfortable now "well at least you knew yours were dead. I had to live thinking that I was related to people who I hated living with."
"Well I had to sleep in a cupboard under the stairs for half my life" he said, happy that she was calming down. "Looks like we're fairly even."
She sighed and wiped her eyes. "Why did you come out here?"
"I should ask you the same thing. Last time I checked the forest was forbidden, giving it the name the 'forbidden forest'."
"You answer my question first then I'll answer you"
"Fine, I came out here to explain myself and ask why you hate me so much."
She tilted her head and shook it a little "I don't hate you, specifically. I hate all teachers. It doesn't matter who they are, I've never made an exception."
"Well ONE exception wont hurt, will it?"
"We'll see."
"Ok, now then you answer my question."
"I came out here because I like it out here. It's just easy for me to think."
"Well I'd expect you to talk about it with you're friends"
She laughed at this "The only friends I have are Anya and James."
He stared at her for a moment "What about Scott?"
"You haven't noticed by now? He's my boyfriend, not just a friend. I already talk to him about everything"
"Well I guess he's not as bad as I thought if you can stand him. Especially if you can have him as a boyfriend"
"I hope you don't mind him knowing that."
"Why?"
"Because he's standing right behind you."
Harry turned and, sure enough, Scott was standing by a tree listening to everything. Scott smiled and walked over to the edge of the water. Shanna's cross glowed blue and the water washed away to reveal a small path to where Shanna was.
Scott walked across to Shanna and hugged her tightly. "Are you ok?" he whispered to her. She nodded smiling.
"Why didn't you do that earlier?" Harry called over to her. He was still amazed by her being able to do such a thing without a wand. "It sure would have saved my voice a bit."
She laughed but turned to Scott again who kissed her like no one was watching them. Harry rolled his eyes at them and called, "Do you mind if we leave now? We need to be ready for the feast."
This made the two break their kiss and laugh a little. They headed back together holding hands with Harry trying to keep his eyes away so he didn't have to see them. Finally they returned to the castle but, unfortunately, Harry received quite a mouthful from the man they had passed. Apparently he was the, highly disliked (especially by Harry), potions master at the school.
That night the students arrived at the school. It was unusual for Shanna to be this nervous and she started to fool with her wrist over and over. Finally, Scott took her hand and looked her in the eyes, forcing her to stop by doing just that. When the students arrived, Shanna and Scott walked down and waited with the rest of them acting like they had come on the train with the rest of them.
While looking around Shanna noticed several people staring at her blue streak of hair. She ignored them as much as possible until she saw a girl with an unfriendly sneer looking her way. "Humph. dies her hair blue just so she can get attention" she heard the girl grumble.
Unable to control herself Shanna shouted, only so she could be heard, "Do you seriously think I'm enjoying the attention?"
The girl stumbled for words when she noticed that, not only Shanna, but everyone else seemed to be staring at her. "Well I don't see any other reason for a new kid to die their hair. If it's not for attention then what?"
By now the room had cleared leaving Shanna, the girl, and Scott in the middle of the room. People had stopped walking into the hall and were now staring at them. Feeling all the eyes on her Shanna decided this was a good time to show herself "What makes you think I did it willingly? How do you know that my brother didn't do it to me while I was asleep?"
The girl visibly stumbled for words then blurted out "How am I supposed to know? Why don't you tell me what happened."
Shanna expected a remark like this and said, almost automatically, "All I'm going to tell you, is that you'd better watch your back. My friends tell me I've inherited my brothers ability to get away with things."
After those words the girls stood glaring at each other until.
"Well Shanna" came a voice, belonging to none other than Harry called "you seem to make friends wherever you go."
The whole room turned their eyes to him and many more darted to the scar on his forehead. People around the room started whispering frantic words like "That's Harry Potter!"
"Oh shut up!" Shanna blurted out. The whole room went wide-eyed at this remark and Shanna rolled her eyes.
Harry glared at her for a moment but then said, "Now will you all proceed into the great hall."
"We would if you'd quit blocking the doorway, " Shanna shouted over the crowd.
He shot her another glare and stepped aside to let the students in. When it came time for Shanna to go through though he grabbed her arm and pulled her aside. "I thought you said you were going to give me a break." He whispered.
"I said we'll see. But don't worry; I think I'll go a bit easier next time. I just needed to get that out." She replied in a whisper.
He seemed a bit relieved and let her take a seat next to Scott. After the sorting Dumbledore stood up to make some announcement. After he finished the normal ones he paused to make the last one.
"Now, my final announcement is as follows: This year we have had the privilege to have 2 new students join the third years." Then to her horror he went on "Shanna and Scott, please stand" and, reluctantly they stood. "These are our two new students and I have come to notice that they do not like attention very much so-"
"Oh yeah That'll do the trick." Shanna groaned a little louder than she meant to, making Dumbledore stop in mid-sentence and raise his eyebrows. "Heheh. sorry." she muttered with a guilty look and sat down.
The whole hall started to snigger while Shanna sat blushing guiltily. It wasn't unusual for her to do that but sometimes she really didn't mean to. Eventually she began to smile and the hall quieted down.
"Well, I think that's enough for introductions. Let the feast begin!" and with that food appeared on the tables and everyone began to eat and talk.
"Hey Shanna!" she heard someone call from down the table. It was a brown haired girl with light green eyes that she'd seen earlier when she had had the fight with the other girl.
"Yea?" she asked uncertainly.
"Hi! I'm Dina! I just wanted to congratulate you on how you handled Karine! How the heck did you do that? Karine's the nastiest and most snotty girl in third year!" She exclaimed and by the look on everyone's she was saying exactly what they were thinking.
She shrugged "I've dealt with worse. Well, not recently but I've had to deal with girls, and guys much worse than her."
"You don't really think that's all she's got do you?!" another girl exclaimed. "I heard that once, she put a hex on a girl because she didn't like the song she was singing!"
Shanna laughed and then a tall boy piped up "She said she'd turn my owl into a killer snake and send it after me when I accidentally kicked her bag!"
"You're in for a whole boatload of shit you know." Another kid said.
Shanna couldn't help but laugh at this. "Don't worry I'll deal with her." She said smiling.
"Just don't rip her head off Shanna" Scott said smiling.
"Your Scott aren't you?" Dina asked him.
"Yea, Shanna's boyfriend." He replied.
"Don't let Drake hear you say that." Dina said giving a blond haired boy at the Slytherin table a look.
"Why? Wh-?" Shanna started but Dina cut her off.
"Haven't you noticed how he's been looking at you? He'll probably have asked you out by tomorrow night." She said giving looks to him.
"Oh. What's his name?" Shanna asked.
"Drake Malfoy." she replied. "His dad is Draco Malfoy.." She clarified.
Hearing that made Shanna a bit nervous. He looked like he would be just as bad as Karine and she didn't really feel like dealing with both of them at the moment. By the end of the night Shanna really noticed how much he had been looking at her and whispering things to a bunch of other guys.
"Don't worry, I'll keep him away from you." Scott whispered to her.
She laughed a little and said "Thanks, but you know as well as anyone that I can take care of him if I need to."
"Yea I know. But I like to think I need to." He said with a smile.
She smiled at him and held his hand "And I know you'll be there to help if I need it."
~*~*~*~*~* Drakes P.O.V. ~*~*~*~*~
"Drake?" someone tapped him on the shoulder.
"What?" he asked looking over to the boy.
"I think your girlfriend-to-be is taken.." He said nervously.
Drake gave him a glare and then turned to look over at her. "Damn it." he muttered. "No matter; I'll just have to get him out of the picture."
"You know Drake," another guy said. "I heard this girl is pretty tough. and to top that she's extremely stubborn."
None of them seemed to like telling Drake the bad news but they felt he might just want to know.
"I've dealt with girls like her before." Drake said still looking over at her.
"I danno man. Didn't you hear her piss off Karine? She didn't even back down once she'd gotten her point through. just a word of caution but I'd watch it with her." this boy seemed to be less afraid of talking to Drake.
Finally Drake took his eyes away to turn to the last guy who'd spoken. "Well, Felix, I have a plan to get her to come to me." he smirked and finished eating
~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Back to Shanna's P.O.V. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
That night was the first night she had actually eaten properly but people (Especially Anyonka) kept pushing more toward her. Eventually she got them to eave her alone and went up to bed.
*~*~*~*~* There's my super long story! Hope you like! Anyway review! I need to know how much you like it and what's wrong! ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
