Wherefore art I not thou
A book with any other names would be as nice
I do not deny thy honour and I acknowledge thy name
I beseech thee do not sue,
These characters and places, they art yours, its true!
(Wherefore doesn't mean "where", it means "why" for all of
you Shakespearean language ignorant readers)
AN: I'm back without many reviews *pouts*. Poo poo to all you people, I don't need you, I only need Raoul. He loves me!! Fifi1 and Friend of a friend, you rock!!! (Even if you're just playing along so as not to crush my dreams) On with the chapter.... I know its short, deal with it. Or don't, it won't affect me unless you review, so push the button.
Chapter 4 Conversations
Bethany sat in the common room listening to the conversations going on between what seemed to be a large group of friends. She had almost sorted them all out. They were all so different, and yet they all seemed to fit.
'Well, it's getting pretty late" Michiko was saying "We'd better head off to bed"
"Yeah, big day tomorrow" said Yukiko sarcastically "We never get our schedules on time because of elite"
"Meh" said Draco unconcernedly "I wouldn't complain about days off"
"I can, and I will" replied Kathryn "Wastes my precious learning time..."
"Like you really listen in class anyway" Draco shot back "You're lucky you're smart, or you'd fail"
"Shut up, like you could pass if you didn't copy my Charms work Draco" Yukiko said "your potions are good, but the rest..."
"How did this turn into a Draco bashing session?" Draco asked.
"You started it" Michiko pointed out.
"And we finished it" finished Kathryn.
"Well" said Alec quietly "I'm going to bed before Kathryn starts hurling curses"
"Goodnight darling" said Kathryn in a sickeningly sweet voice. Alec shuddered as he rose. The rest of the group followed suit.
"Come on Bethany" said Kathryn "Time to show you the dormitory"
"Alright" said Bethany as she followed the other three girls up the stairs to her new dormitory. She hoped they would talk to her, no one ever had, but these girls seemed different. Michiko pushed open a door and the four girls entered a large room furnished with dark wooden furniture and green hangings.
"Something is not right" said Kathryn immediately. She eyed her surroundings suspiciously.
"Hey!" said Michiko suddenly "Where's the garden gang?"
"Yeah, there's no room for them" said Yukiko. She was correct; there were only four large beds in the room.
"Garden gang?" Bethany murmured, wondering what on earth that was. Kathryn sighed exasperatedly.
"Listen you" she said with annoyance "I'm willing to give you a shot to prove that you're a decent human being before I label you as stupid as the rest of the student populous, but for the sake of my sanity, speak up! If you've got a question, try asking. Shy people piss me off..."
"Now Kat, we must be quite scary to an outsider. What were you asking Bethany?" Michiko prompted democratically.
"I was just wondering who the garden gang was" said Bethany. Kathryn smiled an evil grin.
"Pansy Parkinson and her little cronies Rose and Lilly are the garden gang along with Crabbe, Goyle, Blaise and Millicent as thugs. We, um *cough* well we don't get along, very.... We....don't get along period".
"To put things mildly" Yukiko added with a smile.
"Oh" said Bethany "Um..." Bethany looked at Kathryn for a moment, unsure what to call her.
"Kathryn" came the exaggeratedly patient response "Is fine, Bethany"
"Kathryn" Bethany asked "Why would they be here?"
"They're in Slytherin too... give us a bad name" Michiko pouted.
"Well at least no one knows we're missing when they're in the Great Hall. Potter didn't even know who you were Michiko!" Kathryn said with a smirk.
"Why would you want to avoid the Great Hall?" Bethany asked confused. The girls were all sitting on one of the beds.
"First rule of being an elite student" said Michiko "Hey, are you an elite student?"
"They won't tell her until tomorrow" said Kathryn "I hope you are; you seem okay"
"Thanks" said Bethany.
"Even if you aren't elite we'll help you out" said Michiko "Do try to avoid the Great Hall, Gryffindors are bad news and if you ever need to be elsewhere during meals, you won't be missed if you're never there"
"When do you eat?" asked Bethany.
"Really, really early" said Yukiko "Before anyone else is in the Hall. Usually we grab the food and leave and eat in the common room."
"So...Anything interesting I should know about from you two" asked Kathryn suddenly. A small smile played across Michiko's lips.
"Maybe..." she said mysteriously.
"Whatever" said Kathryn "I'll know soon enough"
"Too true you will" said Yukiko. The four girls put on their pajamas and climbed into bed.
"So, they finally split us up!!" said Kathryn.
"It might have something to do with the summer" said Michiko.
"Yeah" said Yukiko" Maybe they thought we'd try to hurt her"
"I wouldn't have tried" said Kathryn "I'd have done it" Quiet laughter filled the room.
"Well, I guess Bethany wins the seal of approval" said Michiko.
"Yeah" said Kathryn "You're all right, too quiet though"
"Thanks" said Bethany.
"Don't thank me" said Kathryn "You're interesting and smart. I know that because you interjected intelligent comments about potions you're not supposed to know exist. Welcome to Slytherin. Ugh!! I've gone all fluffy... someone curse me please" The other two snickered and Bethany smiled.
"Yes, I prefer the not to get into that" Bethany said.
"Well, you'll get used to Kat" said Michiko "Or you'll kill her. Whichever happens first..."
"Oh, ha ha" said Kathryn sarcastically.
"Well you're not exactly sunshine to get along with" pointed out Yukiko.
"Don't get along then" argued Kathryn irritably.
"I won't then" said Bethany. Kathryn smiled.
"That's better" she said.
"So, do any of you like to play quidditch?" asked Bethany.
"Love to" said Michiko "We don't play school league though, no spirit". Several minutes of conversation passed between the group before the general consensus became of the opinion that it was getting late.
"Well goodnight everyone" said Michiko.
"Goodnight" was the general reply from the room.
*Wow, I can talk to them, they want to hear me* Bethany glanced happily around at her new friends. Then her vision darkened as she remembered the horrible events that had happened. What would become of her if they found out? She knew they couldn't without help. But that face, an unforeseen character could ruin everything for her. He knew; she knew he knew.
