Chapter 6

After the feast, which consisted of a lot of questions like, "So what are the States like," and many introductions, the prefect led everyone to the Slytherin common room. A tall pale man with black hair stood waiting there for everyone to come in. He had been sitting at the high table during the feast with all the other teachers. "I am Professor Snape," the man said. "I am the potions teacher here at Hogwarts, and this is my house. I expect that you will all behave yourselves and earn points so Slytherin will win the House Cup this year. If you cause any trouble, you will be punished," and as he said this, he glanced at Jess and Cara, giving them an,' I have my eye on you' look. Cara looked back at him, and quirked an eyebrow and Jess gave him a 'Who, us?' look. "You have the rest of the day to yourselves. I will be in my office if there are any problems." Snape said, and with that, left the common room.

The prefect spoke up again. "The girls dormitories are to the right, and the boys are to the left. Four to a room." Jess and Cara managed to get a room together at the end of the hallway with two other girls named Krysta and Blair. They were surprised to see all their things already in their rooms. "Shibby," Jess said, as she sat on her bed and started to bounce up and down, testing it out. Krysta and Blair then said they'd see them around and made their way to the common room. Cara smiled and started rummaging through her things. The two girls changed out of their uniforms into regular clothes. Cara put on a black corset top and a pair of really baggy black cargo jeans with bondage chains criss-crossing in the back. She looked in the mirror and tied her hair into two pigtails. Her hair was wavy, light brown, and sun-bleached. It fell halfway down her back. She left the two cherry red streaks she had dyed, hanging in her face. She proceeded to clip a pair of metal handcuffs to the belt loops on her pants.

Jess had changed into a hot pink tank top that said 'I partied with Ashton' in messy black letters. She slipped on a pair of black flares and took her shoulder- length blonde hair out of the ponytail she had previously had it in. Cara looked up at her and said, "Hey Jess." Jess looked at her. Cara pulled out a small stereo from her bag, and her 'Take a Look in the Mirror' KoRn cd. Jess looked around and said, "There aren't any outlets." Cara just smiled and pulled a case of batteries from her bag. She shoved them in the battery slots in the back of the stereo. It wasn't a huge system or anything, but it still went really loud. "I brought it 'cause my mom told me the outlets were different here, and I really didn't feel like paying a shitload of money for a new one, and by the looks of it, this place doesn't even know stereos exist," She slipped the cd in the player and put the volume up as loud as it could go.

The stereo was small, but what a noise it produced. Many of the Slytherins were in the common room, including Draco and Pansy, when they felt the floor vibrating from the heavy base, of course, none of them knew what this was. "What is that?!" a boy named Brad said. "It's coming from our room," Krysta said. Draco, Pansy and a few other Slytherins followed Krysta and Blair to their room. They cracked the door open slightly, and everyone glanced into the room. Cara and Jess were jumping around on their beds, screaming, "Ya'll wanna single say Fuck That! Fuck That! Fuck That!!!" However, you could barely hear them over the noise of the stereo. Draco pushed the door open, causing it to slam against the wall, in order to get their attention. He smiled as he saw the two girls whip their heads around and scream. Cara jumped off the bed, turned off the stereo, and said "Oh my God! You scared the shit out of me!"

The girls had only been at Hogwarts for a short while, and had already caused the other students to crowd around them, asking them questions like, "What was that?" Just then Pansy noticed Draco looking at the girls, as they showed some of their fellow Slytherins the wonder of the stereo. Evidently, most Slytherins had barely ever come into contact with muggles and muggle items. Pansy saw that Draco was looking at these two girls, like he was interested in what they were saying, and instantly became jealous. "So, is it true what they say? You know, that all American girls are sluts?" Pansy asked, placing her hand on her jutted hip. She knew what she had done. She had intended to make them mad. And it worked.

"What did you say!?" Cara said, fury in her voice. "You heard me," Pansy shot back. "Cara!" Jess yelled. But it was too late. Cara had already walked up to Pansy and decked her in the face, giving her a bloody nose. Pansy grabbed her face and hollered in pain. "Fight!" someone yelled. Cara then pounced on Pansy, knocking them both to the ground. Jess, Draco, and many others crowded around, laughing, and cheering. Some cheered for Pansy, and some for Cara, but Pansy had no chance. By this time, many of the other Slytherins that had been in the common room and their dorms had come to see what all the commotion was about. Cara pinned Pansy to the ground, and straddling her stomach, punched her twice more. Draco noticed Snape had been retrieved by one of the students, and he and his henchmen, Crabbe and Goyle, pulled Cara off Pansy, trying to keep on Snape's good side.

"Will someone please escort Ms. Parkinson to the hospital wing!" Snape bellowed, looking at he bloody face of Pansy. One of her friends helped her up and said, "That girl's crazy professor," and walked Pansy out of the room. "Yes well I'm sure Ms. Copeland did not just decide to attack Ms. Parkinson without being provoked," Snape called after them. Many of the students had went back to the common room after Snape had arrived and when they say Pansy, started to snicker and whisper "Please come with me," Snape said sternly glaring at Cara. She sighed and followed him. Cara glanced back at Jess, Krysta, Blair, Draco, Crabbe and Goyle who were now the only people left in the room. To their surprise, she was smiling. She was proud of what she'd done. Besides, the bitch deserved it!
