Chapter 7
I awakened earlier in the morning than I had hoped but, got myself up anyway. Mab and the other girl Hermione were still asleep. I brushed out my bright blue hair to a shine and dressed accordingly for my first day of classes. I was nervous if not for the note to Percy than the first day of classes. I wondered if I would get in trouble for taking a walk before breakfast. I decided against it and sat in the common room preparing my bag.
I was nervous and almost fell back asleep when Percy walked in. I looked up and blushed. "Aren't you supposed to still be in bed," he asked. "So, why aren't you then," I stated back as a matter-of-factly and he smiled. "Okay," he started, "I get the point," and he started to walk away. "Wait," I said softly and he turned back and sat beside me. I handed him the note explaining what had happened last night and he smiled and hugged me.
I smiled he wasn't mad or upset and he looks like his proud self. We sat and talked for a while and we made our way arm in arm to the great hall. We were eating breakfast and reading our schedules, when the morning owl post swept in. Atleast two hundred owls swept in. A young owl swooped down in front of me. It had the pure look of black silkiness.
I took the note. Thought you might need her. No name on the card the beautiful owl looked to me expectantly. "I think I'll name you Midnight." She gave a soft hoot and an affectionate nibble and followed the rest of the owls out of the hall. "This morning is going well," I spoke to my self, "hmm, double potions with Slytherins, Transfiguration, then in the afternoon in Defense Against the Dark Arts."
I looked up to the staff table and I couldn't help but notice the dark scowling one and we made eye contact; at almost the exact same moment we quirked an eyebrow. "Hey Percy," I asked. "Yes, Dwyn," he answered. "Who's the evil looking one," I asked. "Oh that's Professor Snape, he's always like that." I looked at him and laughed, "He reminds me of a lot of my friends." Percy looked at me like I was crazy and I started to think I was too.
