Chap 29

Author's notes

The Critic of Sad Stories said:

5. Vainity thy name is Araminta Malfoy-Potter.

I say: First everyone said her name was Mary-Sue, now they say she is Vainity. Or did you mean vanity?
6. Who would KISS after knowing a person for a few hours?

I say: How long does it take to get a boyfriend?

Hoo! I haven't laughed this hard in ages!

I say: ? This story is romance/horror type of story. I'm glad somebody likes it!

Ruby the Troll said:

I strongly recommend that in the future you write about something else than characters like your Araminta! Anything else!
I say: Oh yeah, next I'm gonna write about Lily (I have an idea where she is gonna be the daughter of Voldemort. Much more horror, too.)

Tell me, among your classmates you must have some girls who are beautiful and spoiled and teacher's pets and good at everything… do you actually like them – or do you think they're too full of themselves to be borne?

Oh, I don't really wish anybody had never been born. That's not very nice. But I wish that some people would grow up a little and not be so lame all the time.

You DO owe your reviewers an appology.

I 'appologize.'

To Marek: You are strange with a dirty mind. ?????

To Mellannenn: I'm so glad you liked her! I took a guess, I must have ESP! Don't worry, I won't let you die...or will I? (j/k) But ew, I never imagined Pansy as a girlfriend for Minta! You see, Pansy is the type who reads Hogwarts: A History to see if she is in it but Minta doesn't like history at all. So they shouldn't have any history together (remember that I'm writing about the past right now).

I'm starting to think that some of you reviewing people are the same, because risit and person both use angel wings around their names (like this: ~Minta~). If you don't like it you only have to tell me once. :( :( :( :(~

On to the chap!

Just then a new girl came to the Slytherin table. She was hulking and looked uncomfortable with herself, and she was always blowing her bangs out of her eyes.

"Hey, Selene," said Araminta without thinking.

The other girl's eyes turned into slits. "My name isn't Selene, it's Millicent. Who the #&*% are you?"

"I'm Araminta Ma..." said Araminta. Oh no. She couldn't tell them her real name. They would ask too many questions and then she'd have to explain that she was a very powerful witch stuck in the past at the present.

Araminta cleared her throat and started again. "My name is Araminta Malpot, but you can call me Minta if you want."

Millicent grunted. "Where are you from?"

Draco answered for Minta. "She's a transfer student from Japan, ne?"

"Hai, Draco-kun," said Araminta.

"Why are you wearing those stupid clothes?" said Millicent.

"Huh?" said Minta.

"You look funny. Slyths wear green and silver, not green and gold," said Millicent with a mean look in her eye.

"Well, I'm not exactly a Slyth," said Minta. A shocked gasp flew up from the Slythindor table and hung over their heads like a low-flying cloud. "It turns out that I have qualities of a Gryffindor, like bravery, and qualities of a Slytherin, like cunning. The Sorting Hat couldn't decide where to put me, so it made me a Slythindor."

A murmur circled around the Slytherin table. In the end, everyone looked to Draco for the final decision because he was the leader of the Slytherins. He shrugged and said, "The hat put the Slyth part first. I'm down with that."

"In that case, welcome to Slytherin," said everybody.

Minta smiled happily into her pumpkin juice.
