Disclaimer: This is a continuation of 'A day in the Life of the Hospital Wing'. We don't own blah blah blah. We know the Pippi in this is a lot like Pippi Longstocking but it isn't so don't kill us. We're still in Harry + that lots 5th yr so Tal + her mates are 1st yrs. Tal joined Hogwarts in the Easter holidays, and the story continues on from that, so, everything that happens is only in the last term of the year.
The most disliked first-year at Hogwarts
Chapter 4
It had been a week and still Pippi, Leila and Tal were not talking, well Ok Tal was trying to talk to them but they were giving her the cold shoulder. Tal had tried and tried but had failed and failed. Now they were in Herbology and she was stuck working with two of the Ravenclaws.
"I'm Louis" the boy said. He had short blonde hair in spikes and was slightly tanned. "And this is my twin sister CJ" he said indicating the girl next to him. She had blonde hair, long blonde hair and both of them had blue eyes with a hint of green around the pupils.
"Please concentrate on the lesson" Professor Sprout said to them from the other end of the greenhouse. Leila looked at Tal smugly as she had been told off.
"Pleased to meet you, I'm Tal" Tal said quietly to the Ravenclaws.
"5 points from both Gryffindor and Ravenclaw for not listening" Sprout snapped "Now, back to taking care of Devil's Snare…"
The lesson progressed very slowly, but Tal was glad she had made some new friends to talk to. When the bell rang, she walked back up to the castle for lunch with CJ and Louis.
"We've been having Professor Flitwick stand in as Head of House since…since Madam Hooch was…you know what I mean" CJ said, almost crying.
"Yeah, I know. I'd forgotten she was Head of Ravenclaw" Tal said "Do you know when she'll be back?"
"Well, the Ravenclaw prefects have visited her a couple of times, they say she doesn't look very good but hopefully she'll be back soon" Louis replied.
"That's good…Uh oh" Tal said
"What's wrong?" CJ and Louis asked at the same time
"Slytherins" Tal answered, pointing across the grounds to a group of students moving quickly towards them.
"I agree." CJ said "Uh oh" Zav, Pinto and Alex walked up with another Slytherin boy called Pietro.
"Well if it isn't the rat and a couple of birdies" Pinto said nastily. She had a huge black eye from the fight she had had with Leila, the black eyes was worse than Leila's bruised cheek so she was quite happy.
"Go away" Louis said standing up to face them.
"Not advisable" Tal muttered.
"Are you telling us to go away?" Zav asked, taking a very provocative step towards Louis. Louis gulped.
"Bad idea" Tal muttered again. CJ stood up next to her brother.
"Leave us alone" she said.
"Really bad idea" Tal said.
"Well, would you look at that. The rats got a new set of bodyguards, stupid ones too" Alex said nastily.
"Who you calling stupid? Have you looked in a mirror lately, it's you that's stupid and ugly, and has no hair style and…" she didn't say any more as a hard fist contacted with her jaw.
"CJ! You'll pay for that Slytherins!" Louis threatened, moving in front of CJ so Tal could pull her out of the way. Zav, Pietro, Alex and Pinto looked at each other suspiciously.
"You really should have listened to the rat. You are in way over your head" Zav said quietly, but still rather threateningly.
"Stop calling her that!" Louis yelled, taking a swipe at Alex
"Do you want me silence him permanently" Pinto asked Alex stupidly, cracking her knuckles dangerously.
"Uh oh" Tal whispered softly, only CJ heard her.
"Hey, Tal!" came a voice from behind the Slytherins. They looked round and saw Leila and her 'new' friends, Tal was surprised to see that not one of them was in Gryffindor. "You've met my friends, we were just wondering if you were going to stand up for yourself this time."
One of Leila's friends laughed – a Hufflepuff girl with long blonde hair in a plait down her back – her laugh was a high, irritating laugh that even Leila seemed to find annoying so she stopped quickly
"Very funny Leila, very funny" the girl said
"Shut up, Lisal"
"Now that we've got an audience, we've got to do something" Zav said, making Pinto move forward and grab Louis by the shoulders. He gave a small yelp, and then gasped as Zav punched him in the stomach. He couldn't bend over to lesson the pain as Pinto held firmly onto his shoulders. Zav then went to punch his head when he felt some thing hit the side of his face, a shoe, Tal's shoe.
