Hey guys. I am really trying to keep up with this story. Now it is the weekend and I should be posting a lot more. Here it goes again
Chapter 4:
Thank You
Wow. This is really bad. my first time sitting at the Slytherin table and everyone is acting like I am the flu. So I get stuck sitting alone at the end of the table with people who I don't know and/or want to kill me. This is gonna be one amazing year. cough sarcastic cough
" Welcome to another year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. I think that, do to recent events, everyone should be in the school by 11:00 every night. I strongly enforce the forbiden-ness of the Forbidden Forest. Any student caught in them at anytime unaccompanied by a teacher will face immediate expulsion and will be strictly lectured if they are caught on an unauthorized venture with a teacher into them. Now I would like to introduce this year's Head Girl and Head Boy. Will Miss Granger and Mr.Malfoy please come up here." I stand and recieve so many glares from the Gryffindor table that if looks could kill, I'd be dead 27 milliontimes over. As I make my way along the Slytherin table, I realize that they are staring at me TOO! You'd awear they never saw a girl in Slytherin before. I reach the Head Table, Draco close behind, when Dumbledore says something even I wasn't ready for. " Now, as you know, you two are role model students who must command respect but still be soft. Now you both will be sharing a room. I hope this does not bring any- um- unappropriate behavior between the two of you. But the-"
" The beds are in the same room?!" Draco finally catches on.
" Yes Draco, but you also get other perks. You have your own bathroom and a walk-in closet for each of you. Now please enjoy the feast."
We walk back, " Would you mind if I sat by you?" he asks suddenly.
" Why? You'll be shuned by everyone of your little Slytherin friends won't you?"
" That was cold and uncalled for. So may I?"
" Wow. Gentalman-like-ish. Yes you may kind sir." he laughs at this. He actually laughed. Holy crap. I think I am going crazy.
So we sit and, like I predicted, every person in the whole hall ( aside from a few first years ) look at us. " Doesn't it bother you that you are sitting at a table with a bunch of people that you don't know and/or want to kill you?" Deja Vu.
" No. Not really. And before I go upstairs and annoy the crap out of you, what music do you like?"
" Rock mostly. Some metal bands. Why? You don't listen to rap do you?"
" Hell no. Are you kidding? Feministic little twits. But otherwise, like what bands do you like?"
" Simple Plan, GC, Green Day, Godsmack, the list goes on."
" Good so I won't annoy you. Normally I have to put a silencing charm on my bed so I can blast my music."
" Wow. What do we have here?" comes Ron's voice.
" Ron, back off." Harry says.
" What? The little bitch breaks up with you and runs to Malfoy for comfort. How cute."
I thought I could always count on you
I thought that nothing could come
Between us two
" Listen if you are here to torment me, it won't work."
" Really? Why'd you turn Goth? Your mommy died and your daddy doesn't love you enough?" that was low.
We said as long as we could
Stick together
We'd be alright
We'd be ok
" Ron, stop." Harry tries to calm him.
" Why Harry? After everything she's done to us... Why should we? She is lower than us. A filthy-"
But I was stupid
" Piece-
And you broke me down
" Of-
I'll never be the same again
" Slytherin scum." he fnished.
" Ron, stop. Let's head back. This wasn't worth it."
" She wasn't worth it." Ron says.
I stand up and turn around, attracting a lot of attention, " And what exactly would you know about my life?"
" You are a stupid little witch that has no self respect. A backstabber. A scumbag. And a poor little gothic freak."
" Really? Well, that just shows how much my once-best-friend knows about me."
" I know a lot more about you than you let on. Like your mom did die. The filthy little squibb. And you don't know your real father. And that your Fake dad is an abu-"
So thank you for showing me
That best friends cannot be trusted
And thank you for lying to me
Your friendship, the good times
You can have them back
" Stop right there. What grounds do you have to say those things about me?" I lie to stop him from saying the most dreaded thing in the world.
" You know it's true."
" And I also know you are a self centered, egotistical jerk. But do I complain? No. Not really."
" What is your problem?" he asked me.
I wonder why it always has to hurt
For every lesson that you have to learn
I won't forget what you did to me
How you showed me things I wished I'd
never see
" Shouldn't you know already?" Draco asked them.
But I was stupid
" Shut up. No one asked you." Harry said defensively.
" Well he seems to know more about me than you do."
And you broke me down
" How could you say that? He's MALFOY. The unsensitive jerk. The Death Eater-"
" What do you know about him?"
" What? Hermione, what is wrong with you?"
I'll never be the same again
" Do you really wanna know?"
" Yes. You've change-"
" That is where you are wrong. My problem is that I was once friends with the Boy-Who-Wouldn't-Die and his sidekick Weasle Boy." this got a laugh out of my housemates.
" You- you- you little witch!"
" What was your first clue?"
" I didn't mean it that way! God you are such a-!"
" Bitch? Thank you. Now run back to your little scumbag Gryffindor buddies and leave me and my housemates alone before one of them pops you in the face. At which point, I won't stop them." With that they turned and left without another witty remark.
" Where did that come from?" Draco asked as we sat back down.
" Nowhere in particular. Except that little voice did tell me to say some other things that I would have gotten expelled for...."
" I see. So-?"
" Granger!" someone called from the end of the table.
" I thought you didn't associate with ex-Gryffindors?" I call back.
The boy walked up to me followed by two other boys. " Well, I have never seen an ex-Gryffindor tell off their old housemates."
" Hey, I am full of surprises."
" Yep." Draco said and smiled at me.
" Well, prove that to us. The welcome party is tonight. Let's see how you put up with Slytherin parties."
" You're on."
" See you then."
" Later." I say and they go back, " Do all Slytherins have two people with them at all times?"
" Mostly. Just to save us from any attacking Gryffinors."
" Well, your friends didn't help you all that much now did they Draco?"
" No I guess not.... Whoa. You just called me Draco."
" No shitin' Sherlock. Boys..." I say sarcastically.
" Hey. You are evil. I can now see why they put you in Slytherin instead of Gryffindor."
" Thank you."
" You have no idea what you got yourself into do you?"
" What a party where I am probably gonna get drunk off the spiked pumpkin juice? I have a realatively good idea. I have actually been to one before."
" What?"
" Oh fuck. Uh yeah. Polyjuice potion. Last year. Hey, at least I wasn't Harry and Ron in 2nd year when they- I'm gonna shut up now." I say before I go to far.
" What did they do?"
" Grilled you about the heir of Slytherin. When Crabbe and Goyle were acting very weird that day. You know, when one was wearing glasses and the other had a funny accent?"
" Oh! that was them? Who taught them how to make that potion?"
" I did. And gathered the ingredients. And brewed it. And got turned into a black cat, tail and all." He laughed and I punched his arm. " I know where you sleep."
" And you sleep right next to me so petty empty threats won't get you anywhere."
" We'll see about that." I say and his face pales.
" Oh shit."
Well, not too bad for the first night back. But what will happen at the party? Is the pumpkin juice really spiked? Find out in the next chapter....... PARTY!.
