chapter 3: the weirdness begins
The students entered the castle and did the usual routine of eating, listening to Dumbledore's little speech on the new year, and going straight to bed. Classes had resumed the next morning and most students realized there were a few new comers. Of course there was Katie, but there were a couple others as well. A girl with long strawberry blonde hair and light blue eyes named Whitney Haphen had joined Gryffindor with Katie. A girl with flaming red locks ( as if she were related to the Weasleys) and hazel nut eyes named Olivia Chancey was with them in Gryffindor as well. The three became friends right off the bat for they were seen everywhere together. Most thought it made sence since the three of them were new.
Harry, Ron, and Hermione were on their way to Potions, their final class of the day, when they passed Katie, Whitney, and Olivia talking to none other than Draco Malfoy.
"Why in the bloody hell are they talking to Malfoy?!?!" spat Ron, his eyes as wide as golf balls. Harry and Hermione looked at eachother with confused looks on their faces.
"Well maybe it's cuz the day on the train when she came into our compartment looking for a seat and you three scaring her off then she probably went into a compartment with Malfoy and made friends with him." said a very proud Ginny who had caught up to their fast pace and had been listening to their conversation.
"How would you know?!?" said Ron getting furious.
"Well maybe it's because I talked to her! She's really nice once you get to know her and-"
"Oh put a sock in it will you?" said Ron getting annoyed.
"Make me!" said Ginny in a very childish manner, sticking her tongue out at him. Harry shoved Ron into the classroom before they began bickering while Hermione told Ginny to hurry up and get to class. Another chance of having a World War III occur in the hallway had been prevented by yours truly Harry Potter and Hermione Granger. The bell rang as students shuffled to their seats before Snape could catch their tardiness. He did the usual routine of pairing students off and have them work as a "team" to make the Calming Potion, which supposedly was to calm your nerves and all (duh!). Students wondered why he had assigned such an easy potion but decided it had just been for review or something. Hermione who had been paired up with Draco (classic) were bickering when they heard a loud shriek from across the room.
"YOU BLOODY GIT!!!" yelled a nervous Katie who had her hands covered in gushing blood and were now growing hairy. She ran out of the classroom with Whitney and Olivia trailing behind her. The class got so quiet you could've heard a pin drop. Everyone turned to look at Crabbe who'd been Katie's partner. He was looking off into space when he realized everyone was starring at him.
"I didn't do nothin'." he said stupidly snapping out of it and realizing his partner was nowhere to be seen. Draco had an angry yet confused look on his face and was about to march right out of the door to find Kaite when Snape stopped him.
"Mr. Malfoy get back in your seat, I'm sure it was just an allergic reaction." he snapped as if reading his mind. Draco glared at him sternly before returning to his seat as the class continued to finish their potions in a bunch of whispers.
"I don't know about you mate but I think Katie could really use some of this potion crap right about now ey." Ron mentioned to Harry who had been next to him working with Pansy Parkinson.
"Ron!" Hermione exclaimed, she'd been on the other side of Ron and was now giving him her famous death glares.
"What?" he shouted in confusion. Hermione rolled her eyes and continued with her potion. Harry on the other hand had not taken his eyes off the door where Katie had exited. What had Crabbe done to cause such damage? How could she have gotten so hurt? But most importantly, why had her hands been drenched in not only blood, but *SILVER* blood?
