Chapter 6 –
We meet again....
Eve's POV
I heard the hat shout out Gryffindor and I was so happy for her, I knew she was worried about which house she would be put in and Gryffindor was her first choice.
Now it was my turn. I wanted to be in the same house as Nay, believe it or not I was scared to death. Sure, I acted brave and I knew Nay depended on me but I was
just as scared as her. When I sat down on the chair I knew, I knew I didn't have a chance. I mean, who would someone like me into Gryffindor, I was sneaky, lied all
the time when about my parents, and I always acted like I was brave even though I wasn't. That didn't sound like Gryffindor material to me.
"Hamm...interesting...very interesting" said the old hat that was placed on my head. "You would do very well in SLYTHERIN!!" shouted the hat. And the house table
on the far left cheered, but I didn't get up. I didn't want to be in the same house as that Draco boy.
"No" I said loudly and simply after the cheers died down and the people became quiet because they didn't know why I didn't go to the Slytherin Table. After I started
hearing murmurs I knew that people heard my "no". When the hat didn't say anything I said it louder and clearer. "No! I will not be in Slytherin!" I saw Nay, she was
looking worried. 'Don't worry' was the look I had on my face, I didn't want her to be worried about me. I looked around the room and spotted Harry Potter looking at
me with his mouth open. I didn't care what this show-off thought of me, I was civil to him on the train and in Diagon Alley, but I didn't have to be now. I turned my
head and saw Draco Malfoy looking at me in the same way. He was shocked that a "third-world-country girl" like me could get into Slytherin. Ha!
"Well, " said the hat after a long time, "No one has ever questioned my sorting"
"Well, then there's a first time for everything" I replied coldly back, I couldn't believe I was arguing with a hat, and an ancient one at that.
"Why don't you want to be in Slytherin?" asked the hat curiously.
"Why did you put me there?" I retorted. Everyone was looking at me like I was crazy.
"Fine" the hat said giving in, and I heard gasps everywhere, " But if you don't want to be in Slytherin where would you go?"
"There are three other houses" I said as though i was explaining something to someone very stupid. I felt a prickling in my head. I have had that feeling before, someone
was searching in my head. "Are you in my head?" I whispered to the hat.
"Yes" it whispered back, "Trying to see why you don't want to be in a house that's good for you---WAIT!" The hat almost shouted. "You belong in GRYFFINDOR!"
shouted the hat. And the Gryffindor table cheered a little confused. The rest of the night was spent with people who I didn't know asking me weird questions about
Lebanon and the whole Sorting Hat fiasco.
Nay and I were shown our dorm rooms and Nay didn't look so good.
"Whatsa matter?" I asked curious.
"Well...I mean look at our room, we have to share it with two other girls and it's quite small." she said looking uncertainly at the room.
"Yea, I know" I said, "Our old school was better"
"Well I'm sorry if Hogwarts doesn't meet your standards," said a voice behind us, both Nay and I spun around so quickly I felt slightly dizzy. Standing there was a thin girl with wavy black hair and blue eyes.
"I'm sorry, but who are you? And what are you doing in our dorm?" said Nay coldly.
"I'm Lavender Brown and I sleep in this dorm" replied the girl just as cold.
"Well I'm sorry if we offended you but it's a little hard being in a new place and all" I said evenly.
"Well, ok then, I guess we got off on the wrong foot" she said.
"That's a way to put it", said Nay sarcastically and we all laughed.
The next day wasn't so good. I was able to walk to classes without people bugging about last night (after a while it got annoying). Luckily Nay and I were in all our
classes together. But when we were walking down the hall, who would appear but Draco himself.
"Well well, what do we have here?" said Draco snickering at me but when he looked at Nay I saw glint in his eye. I looked at Nay and she had her mouth slightly open
apparently unable to talk so I talked for us.
"Well well if it isn't Draco Malfoy." I said coldly and I looked over at Nay again. She seemed to have regained control and was now looking hatefully at Draco.
"Where are your bodyguards? Who were they again? Dumb and Dumber?" I asked with a smirk on my face. Draco looked at me and his hate also returned to his eyes.
By this time, evryone in the hall was laughing. Draco turned paler than his normal skin color. He just walked past us.
"You'll pay for this Skariek, I will hurt you more than you will ever know" he whispered as he passed and I knew Nay heard. From the look on her face I knew we had to watch our backs now.
* * *
After classes and homework it was 9:30 and Nay and I weren't sleepy.
"How about a game of Quidditch?" she asked and I knew what she meant.
"Sure, let's go sis" I said readily and I grabbed both of our Firebolts and headed out the door. Nay was the best seeker at our old school and I was a chaser. It wasn't as
important as Seeker but I loved playing Chaser, or beater, they were both quite fun. As soon as we were out of the portrait hole, there was a green light flash in the
hallway and standing there instead us were a tiger and werewolf. The tiger was holding a broomstick and werewolf was dragging a personal case of Quidditch balls.
* * *
"Hello, Eve" said Harry the next day, "er, nice day isn't it?" he said after I didn't reply, apparently he didn't get the message that I didn't feel like talking.
"It's raining" I said and rose up my eyebrows.
"O yea, your right" he said and chuckled slightly. But I wasn't going to let him off just like that.
"What's so funny about rain, half of it is acid rain because so many factories clog up our environment with smog and kill our trees so that they could make a little
money" I said matter-of-factly.
"O um..." he began. I got him, I knew that he wasn't smart, just because he saved the world a few times with a few spells didn't make him better than anyone else.
"I have to go to class" I said and started walking.
"Er, I'll walk you to class if you want" he said stupidly.
"Harry, I don't know what world you live in but in this one, my class is three floors above yours" I replied with a smile and left him there.
"Why were you so mean to Harry back there?" asked Nay during Transfiguration. We weren't listening because we already knew everything, hence the Animagus
ability.
"You weren't there, how would you know" I asked curiously but I wasn't really listening for an answer, I was looking at her hair, today it was purple with blue
highlights. She was lucky that she could change her hair and appearance anytime she wanted since she was a Metamorphagus. At least I was Metovisible-
"I got it through the grapevine" said Nay disturbing my thoughts.
"Wonderful, only two days here and everyone knows my buissness" I said sarcastically.
"Noooo, two days here and everyone knows you rejected Harry Potter" corrected Nay.
"Whatever" I said and turned back to the teacher.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
"After Transfiguration is Defense Against the Dark Arts with Slytherin." said Nay and I groaned.
"I hate this place" I muttered.
"Look at the bright side" said Nay.
"There is no bright side" I groaned.
"Yes there is. You don't find this many cute boys in that all girl Witchcraft school we used to go to" said Nay and I laughed so hard that people were staring.
We entered the DADA classroom and sat down on a side table. Once everyone was seated, the woman from the bar at Diagon Alley entered the classroom and
Introduced herself as Jaimee Spencer or as we would call her, Professor Spencer.
"Well students, now that introductions are over I want you to take out your books" she said, " and now I want you to throw them away". Everyone looked at her like she
was crazy, even Nay and I.
"Don't look at me like that, I am going to teach you a new way of learning, it's all hands on, you will learn to defend yourselves not by learning of how others do. But by
doing it yourself."
"I like her" I heard Harry say from behind me. "She is probably gonna be the best teacher this year......." I didn't catch the rest because I felt someone staring at Nay
and I so I turned and saw Draco staring intently at Nay. Next to him was a girl that looked extremely angry about this. She was slightly tanned, had these mystical
silver eyes and red hair. I didn't say anything to Nay about this, I didn't her to get freaked about this.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
That night there was a peck at my window and there was a brown and black owl, it was Jackie's. I opened the window and let it in. It's name was Jasmine.
"Hey Jasmine, how are you?" I asked softly and took the letter from her leg, opened it and read it:
Dear Eve,
I don't know how your going to react to this but well, David kissed me and I kissed him back. I love him and he loves me, Im sorry but I don't think it will
work out between you and him, David is mine now and you can't do anything about it.
Happily,
Jackie
I was fuming how could he do this-
"Hoot Hoot!" I looked up and there was another owl at my window, it was David's, he was a muggle but he knew about magical things and had an owl himself. I
opened the letter attached to the owl's leg and read it:
Dear Eve,
I love you, I know Jackie probably sent you some crazy letter that said we kissed but don't believe her, I love you and only you. I would never kiss her.
Yours only,
David
I didn't believe him, I was already suspecting him before we left, but this was still a shock for me.... what was I going to do? How will I move on, I loved him for so
long? * * *
We meet again....
