A/N: Thanks for the reviews. I'm glad that people are actually reading
this. Just to make everything clear, everyone is in their 2nd year, except
Wood and the characters that are older in the books/movies. This story is
taking place when the Chamber of Secrets fiasco is going on. I had
originally changed Rowling's plot a bit and made the 2nd years 15 years
old. But I decided to change it so they are 13. This probably won't make
sense unless you read Chapter 2 before I updated it. Also, I usually write
at least one chapter a day at about 5 o'clock in the morning Eastern US
time lol. So check for frequent updates.
Chapter 9
After lunch, Krysta and Blair led Cara and Jess up the Grand Staircase, which moved. But the girls had already learned that when they first came. They thought it was cool, like a ride. They saw all the classrooms and were introduced to many of the teachers. Blair and Krysra also introduced them to some of the ghosts. "No way!" Cara said in amazement as she and Jess were introduced to Nearly Headless Nick. "How are you only nearly headless?" Jess asked. "Ah, like this," Nick said as he tilted his head and most of his neck came unattached except for one little portion. "Whoa, sweet!" Cara said. "Yes, well we must be going now Nick. See you around!" Krysta said.
"This place is wild. I'm gonna get so lost..." Cara said. "We're going to go outside in the courtyard? Want to come?" Blair asked Cara and Jess. "Umm, sure. We'll meet you out there, but we have to go to the common room real quick," Cara answered as she pulled Jess with her. "Alright," Blair said as Jess and Cara walked off to the common room. "Why did we have to come here?" Jess asked as they entered the Slytherin common room. "I have to tell you two really important things. First of all, I didn't tell you the whole story yesterday. Snape didn't give me detention, but he said if I pull shit like that again, he's gonna have that Dumbledore dude expel me!" Cara said. "How did you manage to get yourself into so much trouble on your first day here?" Jess asked. "I dunno, but anyway, the other thing is, last night, when you went to bed and I stayed to chill in the common room, I was talking to Draco, and I looked over at the fire, and there was a really freaky looking face in it!" Cara continued. Jess stared at her for a second, and then started to laugh. "Fuck you! I'm serious!" Cara shouted at her. Jess calmed down a bit and then looked at Cara. Her hazel eyes had no lies in them. Jess could tell when Cara was lying; it wasn't one of her strong points. "Oh my God, you're serious?" Jess said almost in a whisper. Cara nodded her head yes and Jess said, "It was probably nothing. I mean, this school is weird." "Yeah, I guess," Cara, said, feeling a little more relieved. "Let's go find Krysta and Blair," Jess said and they headed to the courtyard.
"So, up late talking to Draco, were you?" Jess said with a smirk as they made their way outside. "Oh please! I'll admit, he is very hot, but he's the biggest asshole in the world, maybe with the exception of Pansy." Cara replied. "Oh, sure," Jess said sarcastically. Cara scoffed. "Look who's talking Mrs. Oliver Wood! Think you can control your drool next time he looks at you?" Cara said with a smile. "Oh my God! I was drooling!" Jess said. "Shut up sped," Cara said with a laugh. "Hey," Krysta said as Cara and Jess approached her and Blair. "Hey," Cara said. "So, what's there to do for fun around here?" Jess asked. "Well, I suppose we can go over to the lake. That's where most of the other Slytherins are right now," Blair answered. "Sure," said Jess.
The four walked over to the lake, and, unfortunately, Pansy was there, with Mil. Draco, Crabbe, and Goyle were down there too, mocking the passersby. "Well, if it isn't the two foreign trouble makers," Draco said with a smirk. Cara rolled her eyes. "And I thought the Gryffindor dream team was bad. These two haven't even been here for two days, and they've already caused more trouble than they're worth," Draco said to his cronies. Jess gave him a fake laugh and then the finger. Pansy and her accomplice heard this, and decided to join in. "What, may I ask, is the point of all the chains on your pants?" she asked Cara. "To wrap around your neck when you piss me off Pansy," she replied and shot her a fake smile. Pansy scoffed and said, "Draco, are you going to let her talk to me like that?" "Yeah, why the hell would I care?" Draco said. "Because silly, you're my boyfriend," she replied cheerily. "For the last bloody time Parkinson, I am not, nor will I ever be your boyfriend!" he shot back, frustration in his voice. "But... but... Drakie I-" she said pleadingly. "And don't ever call me Drakie again!" he interrupted. Tears started to fill Pansy's eyes and she ran off. Cara and Jess collapsed from laughter. Their faces were red as they clutched their stomachs and lay on the ground. Krysta and Blair tried to conceal their giggles. "Look what you stupid Americans did now!" Mil screeched and chased after Pansy. This made Cara and Jess laugh even harder.
At around 2 o'clock, Krysta and Blair led Jess and Cara to professor Snape's classroom and said they'd see them around. Cara and Jess were supposed to go to Snape's room to learn the basics of magic. "Ah, Ms. Copeland, Ms. Greene, it's nice of you to finally join us," Snape greeted them. They forced fake smiles and then Cara said, "Us?" "Yes Ms. Copeland, us. I have assigned the student with the highest grades in your year to tutor you both, Ms. Hermione Granger," Snape answered. The girls smiled as thy saw Hermione, sitting in the corner of the room and waving to them. "Now, under normal circumstances, I would assign a Slytherin to assist you. But I have noticed, that unlike most Slytherins and Gryffindors, you three seem to get along and, when I asked Ms. Granger, she was somewhat eager to help out. So, I will be back in five hours, I have an important teachers meeting to attend and papers to organize. I am trusting you three," and with that, Snape left the classroom.
Cara and Jess sat next to Hermione. Hermione showed them the basic things, like leviosa and how to make a standard potion base. They learned some Transfiguration, Charms, and a little bit of Herbology information. Also, unlike most students, Cara and Jess found the History of Magic fascinating. "This stuff isn't that hard," Cara said. "Yes, well, it comes easily to the two of you, unlike some of the students here like Seamus Finnigan. The poor boy can barely do an essay without causing a minor explosion," Hermione answered and the three girls giggled. Just then, Snape walked in. "Ah, it's good to see that you managed to stay out of trouble," he said, eyeing Cara. "Well, I would like an essay from each of you on my desk Monday morning, telling me what the two of you have learned today. What Ms. Granger has taught you should give you a good idea of what goes on in this school. When you go to your classes on Monday, you professors of that class will assign you both extra work I am sure, so that you will learn almost everything that the students in your year learned last year. However, if you three cannot keep your grades up, you will be moved into classes with the 1st years. You may go to dinner now," Snape instructed.
The three girls piled out of Snape's classroom. "So, Harry told me that there is a rumor going around that you and Pansy Parkinson got into a fight Cara. Is it true?" Hermione asked as the three girls headed to the Great Hall. Cara and Jess laughed. "Yeah. It was pretty funny. Look at her left eye when we get to the Great Hall. It's all bruised and puffy," Cara said, giggling at the thought of it. "Oh, Jess. Wood wanted me to give this to you," Hermione said and handed Jess a folded up piece of paper. "Ooh. Looks like Jess' got herself a boyfriend," Cara said teasingly. "Shut up!" Jess snapped. Hermione shook her head and laughed. "Uh... hey Hermione, I was just wondering where that scar on Harry's head came from. I mean, It's weird. I've never seen a scar shaped like a lightning bolt before and I was wondering if it had anything to do with the whole being a wizard thing?" Cara asked. Hermione laughed and said, "Well, if you mean are you going to get one because you're a witch, then no. But seriously, Harry's scar is famous. Harry is famous as a matter of fact. Well, in the wizarding world at least." "Seriously? That's cool, but why?" Jess asked. Hermione stopped. "Well, you see, a long time ago there was a wicked evil wizard named... Lord Voldemort. He killed many wizards and witches that would not come over to the dark side. Harry's parents were two of these wizards. He- Who- Must- Not- Be- Named, who Voldemort is more commonly known as, killed Harry's parents when he was a baby, and he tried to kill Harry, but Harry was too strong. The spell backfired and made Voldemort weak. It also left Harry with that scar. Voldemort came to Hogwarts last year. He was using the body of the old DADA teacher, Prof. Quirrell. That's why Gilderoy Lockhart is here this year." She summarized the whole Sorcerer's Stone story, and then they started to walk towards Great Hall again. "Poor Harry," Cara said. "Yes, well I'll see you around. If you need any help in any of your classes, I am always willing," Hermione said as she headed for the Gryffindor table and the girls went and sat at the Slytherin table across from Krysta and Blair.
