Chapter 6: New Faces and Old Reminders.
Dedicated to Kat, Trish, Ryan, Joe, Tori, and Corrine!
Vanessa:
I watched Ginny cross the room and climb back into her bed. She has the flu? Then what the crap is she doing, why doesn't she just go to the hospital wing? Maybe she was out drinking last night or something. Was she in her bed when I came back? Damn, I didn't notice; too busy thinking about Draco...Uggh, I have got to stop thinking about him, I definitely shouldn't have kissed him, ever. Well, he did look pretty hot after climbing out of lake from saving my life, but still, I do have to kill him. And I'm still looking forward to it. Oh crap, I don't even know what freaking order im supposed to kill the lot of them. If that stupid fool Draco wouldn't have decided he wanted to stroll into our meeting place, I wouldn't have even be in a boat in the first place. So I don't have to feel thankful at all for the whole life-saving thing, since it was his fault. I felt my stomach grumble. I wonder what's for breakfast...I changed into my school robes sleepily and headed down to the Great Hall. It was already crowded with students reading their mail and eating their food, so I walked over to the Gryffindor table, searching for a spot. Hermione waved at me too sit beside her, smiling, so I walked over and pulled out a chair. There was a white envelope addressed me me lying there. Ron noticed my glance and said with his mouth full, "Youw' owl dwopped 'hat aw' the chay' fo' you." "What?" Didn't your mother ever teach you manners? Hermione repeated his words in a much more understandable fashion, "Your owl dropped that on the chair for you. Harry tried to move it but it burned his fingers."
Ron:
Vanessa picked up the letter, (without any flames, I might add) and sat down. Instead of reading it she simply shoved it in her pocket. I went back to eating my breakfast. Mmm, these bagels are really good, especially the one's with poppy seeds. If I were a bagel, I would definitely want seeds. I wonder how they stay on?...
Harry:
I watched Ron as he began pulling the seeds off of his bagel and examining them, then popping them into his mouth. He swiped at a piece of red hair that fell in front of his eyes. Ron is my best friend and everything, but sometimes he can be really weird. Oh, there's Joe Eisen. Looks like he was somewhere foriegn for vacation, he's really tan. Joe approached the table and put his hand on my shoulder. "Hey Harry, ready for the first Quidditch match next week?" "Yah Joe, are you?" "Of course, I've been working out this summer, Ravenclaw is going to kick your butt this year." I smiled. "Right, Joe. We'll see about that." Joe and I both laugh and he headed back to his table.
Vanessa:
I watched Joe sit down at the Ravenclaw table, next to a group of girlls. Wait a second... oh my gosh, it is! I jumped up and ran over to them and squealed, "Kathryn, Trish, Carin, it's me, Vanessa!" Kathryn Shieger, Trisha Grai, Carin Creecher and I had been best friends when we were little. Their fathers are all death eaters, and we used to play together during meetings. Kat looked up blankly for a second, then all three of them began talking at once and hugging me. Finally they settled down, and Trisha began to gush. "Oh my god, what in the heck are you doing here? I haven't seen ya' since like three years ago!" "I know. I decided I didn't want to home school my seventh year, so I came here." Carin waved her hands around as she spoke, "So who have you been hanging with? What house are you in? Have you seen Draco Malfoy yet, he's totally hot!" I smiled, recognizing her familiar excitement, "A; Ron, Hermione, Harry, and Ginny, B; Gryffindor, and C; yes, in fact we have a date already, but he's a bit too cocky." Kat rolled her eyes. "Carin's been dating your friend Ron, and Trisha's been dating Ryan Whiselle. Me? I've been spending so much time trying to put up with their boyfriends, I haven't found anyone yet," she said as the other two turned a shade of red. However, they quickly forgot about the remark when the saw Ella Creevey approaching, along with her ever present camera. "Oh no." Kat muttered under her breath. Ella stepped up to them and snapped a picture in their faces. "'Friends Reunite'. That will make a perfect story for the cover of the newspaper. Along with that article I did about how girls can try to improve themselves to look like me." Trisha frowned, and gathered up her books. "I don't know about y'all, but I've got lots of studying to do. Wanna' go down to the library?" All of us but Ella nodded our heads quickly and scurried out of the Great Hall. Once the doors closed behind us we burst out laughing. Just like old times. Carin was the first to catch her breath, "So what do you guys want to do?" "Let's go down to the courtyard and sit with Ryan and Tori," Trisha said, gazing out the window. Ron came through the door and wrapped his arm around Carin's waist. "Hey guys, I didn't know you knew Vanessa." Kathryn started walking and pulled Trisha and I with her. "Well, we do." Ron pulled Carin the other way, and she looked over her shoulder at us and smiled right before they turned the corner towards the astronomy tower. The three of us snickered and stepped outside. Halfway down the path I spotted a blonde boy and girl sitting on a bench in the courtyard. As we approached I caught a bit of their conversation. "I think that we should pray to the Divine Llama; Aggo, not some dumb goldfish." "Yah, well, I think that the Holy Goldfish is much more kind and wise then your filthy llama." Just as it looked as if they might start fighting, the girl noticed us. "Hey guys, who's she?" She asked. Kat spoke up, "This is Vanessa, she's an old friend of ours. Now she's decided to quit home-school, and come to Hogwart's." Blondie smiled and stuck out her hand, "Hi Vanessa, im Tori, and this is my brother Ryan." God, everyone is so freakin' smiley around here. What are they on, Botox? Trisha walked over to Ryan and snuggled down beside him. We all sat and started talking about school, life, ect...Then I saw this really slutty looking girl coming down the path towards us. Pansy Parkinson. She used to steal my Barbie's and cut their heads off, stupid prat. God, does she have to swing her hips like that, she's gonna' knock someone over! Pansy walked up to Ryan and jumped into his lap. "Hey honey, whatcha' up to?" Ryan's eyes grew wide with horror as he slowly realized that both his girlfriends were with him. At once. This should be interesting. Trisha stood and grabbed Pansy by the arm, yanking her onto the ground. Then she turned on Ryan. She raised her hand with her wand in it, then dropped the wand and brought her hand down on his face with a loud slap. He whimpered and ran away, Pansy chasing after him. Tori put her arm around Trish. "I'm so sorry, my brother is such an ass." "It's ok," she said sadly, "I didn't like him that much anyway. I just want to go hang out by myself for a while." Kat looked concerned, but relieved. "Good, 'cuz I'm supposed to go meet with the new Potion's student teacher and help her unpack." She held up a card with the Hogwart's seal on it. It say's here that her name is Alkazar, Kenzie Alkazar." Kat and Trish walked up to the castle and disappeared inside. I watched them go, then turned to face Tori. She had a smug look on her face. "What?" I asked her. "I have the list of the order in which you kill them. Your father said he sent a messanger, but you didn't meet them. He has asked me to help you with the task." Wow, she knows my dad too. So he didn't think I could handle it, did he? Well, at least I have company. She handed me the list and I scrolled down it.
Ronald Weasly
Ginerva Weasly
Draco Malfoy
Hermione Granger
So Ron's first, cool, I can take care of that at the Halloween social...
Meanwhile in Miss Alkazar's new rooms...Kathryn:
I walked up to the room and knocked on the door. After a moment a pretty woman with long red hair answered. "Hi, Im Kenzie, are you here to help me pack?"...
