The New Me
Chapter 6
I can't really write in a French accent, so if it's bold, it's French, if its italics, it's a French accent, unless it isn't in quotations.
Meeting, the First Time for Some, the Second for Others
The first day back… Sometimes so much fun, sometimes so much apprehension… It always depends. If you're coming back from vacation, you might be excited to see your friends. But sometimes, you might be coming back from vacation just to meet for the 'first' time some old 'friends' that pratically killed you. This was the apprehension that Damien had while on the ride to Beaxabatons.
"Hey, Damien, excited to go back to school?" Devan asked, walking up behind him to get in the car, so his parents could drive them to school.
Damien sighed, "Yea, Devan, I'm ecstatic!" He said, his voice dripping with sarcasm.
Devan laughed "Yea, I'm so excited too! We have to speak English for the rest of the school year!"
Damien soughed "Yea, Devan, it's tragic." He shook his head, rolled his eyes, and sighed again.

Ron and Hermione got in line to be apparated to Beaxabatons. They were still at the Burrow, as Hogwarts was taken over by Death Eaters. The most they could do was collect the bodies of dead people. They had lost a total of 72 people, only 60 of them being children. Professors Sinstra, Hooch, Vector, were ones that were lost, along with the Muggle Studies teacher, Filch, the math teacher (for students interested in the American system and such) social studies teacher (for students interested in countries and such), the English teacher (for students interested in writing and such) the science teacher (for people interested in bacteria and such) and 3 automatic substitute teachers, Warner, Hiploppottapluswinfretymult, and Ulx. Many of the students were somewhat relieved that Professor Hiploppottapluswinfretymult was dead. He would give detentions to anyone who pronounced his name wrong.
The two friends arrived up at the front of the line along with Seamus, Parvati, Goyle, Crabbe, Parkinson, and Bulstrode. Snape, who was suffering from amnesia, stepped up to apparate them he remembered all the stuff he learned, it was mostly names he forgot, along with houses. He would guess, by their personality, which house they were in.
"Ronald Mulsy, a Hufflepuff. Hermione Stranjert, a Ravenclaw. Pansy Park-in-eat a Gryffindor, Gregory Grangerty, a Hufflepuff. Vincent Mabbe, a Hufflepuff. Millicent Blustering, a Gryffindor… Okay, I'm ready to go."
The 6 stared at each other.
"I could never be a Gryffindor!
"Duhhh…"
"What's Hufflesmuff?
"A HUFFLEPUFF…?"
"I guess Ravenclaw isn't that bad…"
"COME ON STUDENTS!
"Oh sorry, we're Professor Chafe!" Ron and Hermione said sweetly. Snape scowled ands waved them over.
They came, and all touched some of Snape (Hermione made a mental note to shower intensely when they got to Beaxabatons.) They heard a pop, and suddenly they weren't there.

Damien disdainfully sat at a table. He wasn't eating. The Hogwarts students would be arriving soon. He sat, twirling his spaghetti around his plate, not noticing that he was mixing it with his applesauce, salad, peaches and garlic bread. He then heard a crash and abruptly jumped up.
"Wha…? What happened?" Devan, Eddie, and Ben looked over at him; and right when they saw his face and plate they burst out laughing. His plate looked like a supermarket hit by a tornado. His face was screwed up in the most grotesque mixture of looks you could imagine. You could see a bored look, a surprised look, an apprehensive look, and a confused look. In the end it looked like he was deranged.
"Relax, that was probably the Hogwarts' students arriving."
A look of horror was faintly added to the mixture of looks. "Relax!!! How can I relax!?!?!?" then suddenly he calmed down. "Your right, it's nothing to get hyper over. It's not like Harry Potter's there anymore," while he was going crazy, he had received a look from Debbie, reminding him that they didn't know about the abusiveness of the Gryffindors. He had to relax himself as fast he could after that reminder.
Just then, the doors to the Eating Room opened and about 224 people came in. Damien looked confused, there should be about 311. Then he remembered that some could be at hospitals or dead, considering that they were in a battle.
Then Dumbledore spoke. "Attention Hogwarts' students! Please separate into your proper houses!"
The blob moved around, and only with a little bit of talking, it turned into two lines.
"Okay, Slytherins over there!" he pointed over to the table opposite of Damien. Damien groaned inwardly.
"Gryffindor's, you go over there!" He, as Damien guessed, pointed to Damien's table. Damien closed his eyes and started praying 'don't sit over here! Don't sit over here!'
"Hello," a familiar voice said, "Are you okay?"
Damien opened his eyes. The first thing he saw was flaming red hair.
Ron Weasley was staring at him, a confused expression.
Damien threw his head back and groaned. His two worst enemies were standing right in front of him.

"Are you okay?" Ron asked again.
"Yea, what's it to you?" Damien said coolly.
Ron shrank back in fear. "Just wondering…"
"Yea? Well wonder somewhere away from me."
Ron rolled his eyes and changed the subject. "What's you name?"
Damien glared daggers at him, "Damien Seeking." And when back to destroying the supermarket (in other words, eating it).
Ron looked around uncertainly "Oh, well I'm Ron Weasley."
"I'm glad we know that."
Ron grinned nervously, and tapped Hermione on the shoulder. Hermione turned away from chatting with Christine Yelenvet, and looked at Damien.
"Hi, I'm Hermione Granger."
"Do I look like I care?"
Ron looked around dubiously, and said "She's my girlfriend…" This caught Damien's attention. He looked up.
"That thing is your boyfriend?"
Ron flushed beet red and pushed Damien forcefully back. Damien flipped back as his chair hit the ground, his wand already in his hand. All the Beaxabatons students shrank back in fear, knowing that Damien was a vicious dueler. Ron stood up and took his wand out too. Devan leaned over and whispered something in Ron's ear. Ron glared at him and shouted "I DON'T CARE IF HE'S THE BLOODY BEST DUELER IN THE SCHOOL!"
Ron looked up at Dumbledore, and Dumbledore nodded. He looked curiously at Damien. Ron fired the stunning curse at Damien. Damien dodged it, and without saying anything, he fired the fire curse at him. Ron's pants caught on fire, but he quickly doused them and fired the throw-back curse at him. Damien flew back into the table behind him, landing in some ice cream. He quickly threw a floating curse at him. Ron floated up to the top of the room. Hermione squealed and quickly fumbled for her wand. Damien turned and stunned her. Ron took this time to his advantage and shouted Amitto Ego Ius. Damien's right eye disintegrated, but Damien restored it. He fired the slipping charm (Ron was hanging onto a pipe) followed quickly by the Stunning spell. Ron started slipping and then, when trying to grab the pipe again, he was stunned. He then started falling. Damien let him fall until he was halfway down, and then levitated him the rest of the way.
Damien un-stunned him and pushed him back. He whispered "Don't mess with me…"
Finny
Sorry about the lateness, we got a new computer and it took a while to get used to it so yea…
If you didn't notice, I can do bold and italics now. Just so you know; I will be revising, bolding and italicizing all my previous work. If you want, you can read any of my favorites or you can read something by LoveTaWrite, one of my friends, on FictionPress. He's only got 1 chapter, but I can tell it's going to be a killer.
On the other hand, I am going to start an original story. I promise I will write on this one too, but I'll be more intent on finishing that 1st chapter. Read it!
Reviewers…
Shdurrani: Yea, but not any day soon!
Little gin blossom: I'm sorry! This chapter took too long too, didn't it? Probably because I've been working on that original I mentioned earlier. Lol!
Amy Potter 13: I know, but it's necessary.
MixedUpAgain: I think it was hilarious up until Maxmie died. Oh, and she was killed by… Death Eaters because they thought she knew where Harry was. I don't have a user name, but maybe I'll get one soon, I've wanted to for a while. SYS!
Amy: Thanks!
Queen Tessandrilene Wendracon: Only sometimes, but not enough for anyone to notice, and Damien can feel if it does so he can quickly reapply them. Sorry this took so long though. I put Olympia? I guess my computer automatically changed it. Okay, I'll read your story. I would have before but, we got the new computer and such, so… Yea…
Mystic Queen: Okay, sorry I didn't. Thanks!
Gabriella: Kinda like finally isn't
