Chapter 4: The Fat Friar

When Audrey woke, she hurried to get ready for breakfast, as she was running quite late. It was unusual, since she liked to be punctual. Her new friends decided to wait for her, who was too kind, and together they walked to the hall for breakfast. A Hufflepuff prefect went up to Audrey and welcomed her and gave her a note saying she was free of classes for the morning and would get her schedule in the afternoon at Lunch.

Her friends grumbled about classes and trudged to classes, deeming her very lucky. Audrey decided to roam the school to find the library, bringing her journal and some method books along with her. When she walked down the staircase, wondering where to go.

"HELLO!" a jolly ghost came into her direction, scaring her to pieces.

"Hi?" she asked with eyes wide.

"Oh don't be scared of me!" he laughed, "I'm the Hufflepuff ghost-The Fat Friar!" He patted his full stomach and smiled at her.

"Nice to meet you," she said, the fright slowly seeping away from her.

"Shall I escort you someplace?" he asked, "I don't think a new transfer student's been here in a hundred and five years!"

"I need a trip to the library, sir," she requested.

"Sure, sure! Follow me!" he laughed and went on.

"Sir, whatever happened to that new transfer student?" she asked, "Did she get along well with everyone?"

"Well, let me remember....everyone made fun of her, and some people even played some mean pranks and her, and hmm...oh that's right! She killed herself!" he laughed jovially.

"How is that funny?" she demanded.

"I'm not sure," he scratched his transparent head.

"Well, what about the other two Shizians? Are they getting along okay? I hear one of them is, but the other one has a sour attitude," she wondered curiously.

"Hmm...oh yes! I know them right, I think. Emmylene....she's the Gryffindor. She's getting along okay, but people are still frightened of her, since she's been in the fire and all. Very talented young lady, and the Slytherin Eden Fae, she's still got some bitterness in her, but it's understood for she's a Slytherin. Once she lets go of everything, she'll be much better," he told her, "And what of you?"

"Me?" she asked.

"Yes, are you bitter or are you trying to be calm?" he asked.

"I..well, sir, I'm not bitter, but I'm not quite sure I can be calm about it either. I mean, I had to go to counseling for two months to regain my sanity. I assure you, however, that I am getting better with time and all," she said, looking at the floor.

"Well that's good! You'll do just fine here in Hufflepuff and here at Hogwarts! Here's the library! Hope you get everything you need!" and with a playful smile, flew off. Slowly, she opened the door and went inside, seeing no one there but the librarian.

"Lily!" the librarian cried out, standing up.

"That's my middle name, ma'am," Audrey replied, "I....I'm Audrey Lillian Menzel, ma'am." The librarian regained her composure and straightened up.

"I apologize, then miss," she said, staring at her, "Is there anything you need?"

"No ma'am," she responded, "Just a place to work until lunch, thank you."

"Alright, then, off you go," the librarian said and shooed her off, staring at her similar physique to the mother of the Boy-Who-Lived. Audrey sat down and started writing in her journal (this will have some importance later on), wondering about this Lily who everyone claimed her to be who was a professor.

A few hours later, she retreated back to her room, and decided to decorate her area with what room she had. The other girls had pictures of family and cute boys, maybe a little Hufflepuff spirit here and there. She decided to hang a large picture of her former bands and hung her Shiz robes on the wall on the left, and one of her new Hogwarts robes on the right. She stared at the picture more closely and looked at each of the people individually, everyone waving and looking happy, even the low brass and drumline section who decided not to smile for tradition. Tears started forming in her eyes from the depression setting in. She closed her eyes and remembered how they were people who were determined to do so much, and yet they never got a chance to do it. The thoughts instantly turned to how she almost died and she ran out of the room before she could start sobbing.

She couldn't think about it, for if she did, that insanity that overtook her before might just come back to haunt her.

A/N: Here's another chapter! Sorry if it was a little boring, it'll get more interesting, promise! Review!
