Chapter 2
The World Goes Round
"Malfoy, you better listen to her. She can kick our butts, and we're her own older blood, too." Tom half-stated and half-chuckled.
"But you're wimps."
"That's it." Sam stressed. She started toward him.
"Hold her back, Nat help!" Greg rang. All the brothers had to hold Sam back or Malfoy would be paralyzed.
"Aha." Malfoy scuffled hiding behind one of his friends.
"Let me go. I have to kill that girl that called Hagrid a mu-mud-blood." At that time Lane let go of his hold on his sister and walked toward Malfoy.
"Lane!" Greg called out while being pushed back or Sam made his feet slip in the dirt. "She'll kill him! If any of us let go! So get back here!"
"Don't, Lane, let me kill him. No one says things like that about my friends without getting a severe beating!"
"Sam, don't. You don't want detention on 'our first day. Do 'e. I'm flattered but don't."
"Sam, I don't want to embarrass you, but you brought this on to yourself." Kyle said stepping toward her.
"What is he talking about?" Tom asked.
"Y'all might need to still hold her." Kyle said stepping closer and closer. "Please, don't hurt me."
"What do you think your doing...? She's going to kill you!" Nat declared.
"Well, she'll kill me instead of Malfoy." Kyle said getting quieter and quieter.
"You better run." Lane warned.
"Come here, Malfoy!" Sam screamed acting like the kiss didn't even happen. "I'm going to kill you; then bury you. Then forget about you!"
"Well, I would never hit or fight a girl, but my twin sister would. Bethro." Malfoy called as if he was calling a puppy.
"Hey, Sam. Thorn-o, hi." a cheerfully voice said that came from a beautiful girl. She had blond hair and blue eyes that glowed. Her name is Bethro, but she prefers Beth.
"You know her. My name isn't Thorn-o it's..." Malfoy said discussed.
"Bla, bla, bla, bla-bla." Penelope Cogar said annoyed, "That's all we hear from you and your family. No affiance, Beth."
"Her name is..."
"Shut up! I prefer Beth. Okay, not that dumb name that sounds like death row. Good that's off my chest."
Adam, who has a HUGE crush on her, was having a hard time breathing because Raven was sitting on is foot.
"Adam, are you okay?" Beth asked sweetly, she also had a crush on Adam.
"No, because Raven is sitting on my foot. Sam, help." Adam said trying not to yelp.
"Oh, sorry. Raven, here girl."
"'Ell, we bet' her get in the castle. It's gett'n late. And I'm gett'n hungry"
Hargid said patting his stomach as it growled.
"You haven't changed, Hargid." Tom chuckled. The first years went with Hargrid and the others with the new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher.
"Met you in the castle, Hargid." the teacher said sweetly.
"As Ye wish, Professor.
"Professor, who is that?" Penelope asked sweetly.
"Oh, that's Ye new teacher."
"Name?" Malfoy asked impatiently.
"Um.' Ot telling."
"He looks familiar." Penelope muttered.
Pegasus a horse with wings that can fly
Meanwhile, with the first years, Sam and Kyle road in the boat together and just smiled. As they came toward the wonderful, yet old, Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Kyle was thinking to himself 'Okay, now, that I have Sam as my girlfriend, from whom I've liked for 2 years now, I can't help, but smile.'
Sam noticed that she had been smiling a lot since that (she blushes) kiss from Kyle. She had liked him for 3 years; as she describes it you can call it "Love at first sight". She moved from a ranch that she loved to be on, a country girl's version of a beach view, a big widow tree with a rope swing hanging on a branch. Along with wild horses galloping and neighing around as free as the wind, a doe and her fawn grazing grass even as she approached them. As she thought of her favorite, yet saddest spot her best friends, Rosepedal, the Pegasus that's mother, Rosie Babe, died as she gave her life to save Sam's father. She was a wonderful barrel riding horse, and companion. Sam thought of Rosepedal the day that she went to go see her after her mother's death.
Rosie Babe died from a gang of stupid idiotic self-centered assholes known as Death Eaters.
Rosepedal is a Pegasus and not a real horse because her father, Sirius, was a Pegasus. Yes, her Uncle Ron wanted her to name him that after a brave man that was a good, no, best friend's great-godfather. Rosepedal was only half Pegasus, you see she couldn't fly, so she could've past as a real plain jane horse.
The day that Sam went out to visit Rosepedal after her mother's death, she saw Sirius for the 4 time in her life lying down with his daughter under his left wing. It seemed as though he was crying. She walked up to the father and daughter when she saw a tear a real tear trickling down his high cheekbone and hitting his daughters forehead. Sam always heard that one tear from a full blood Pegasus and one thing that you want to come true about yourself would. Sirius got up, shook himself, neighed, opened his wings to their fullest length, and with one whip of his GIANT wings he was off.
Rosepedal the next day came trotting up to the house wanting to go riding (Sam always rode her bare back because a saddle would rub her wings raw). Sam giggled, hoped on, waved go bye to her parents, leaned forward, and said, 'Heeee yaaaaaaa. GO, ROSEPEDAL. Gggooooooo.' Sam was nearly screaming out her lungs for Rosepedal opened her wings just as her father did and with one big whip she and Sam were high up in the air.
Sam just looked up at the clear sky with a big grin on her face. Kyle looked over at her and said in a sly voice, "Are you okay? Why are you looking up at the sky? If you keep looking up at the sky like that a bird might get nervous and do his business on your face."
Sam chuckled and said with a happy sigh, "Nothing, just thinking, just thinking."
The boats finally reached shore, all of the children got out and walked up the stairs to huge no GIANTANTIC doors. D.J., the little scaredy cat, clung to Kyle's arm. Kyle just looked at D.J. as if she were from Mars. She could've passed too. But before they went through there was someone in their way. She looked as if she'd passed 100 years of age. Her name… was other than…Mrs. McGonagall.
Yes, this story wouldn't be anything without the "old fart, yet sweet" teachers
She gave her usual speech. The Forbidden Forest held up its name. Meaning it was "forbidden". All of the rules, consensuses, and everything those first years need to know. But just as she was finishing she heard a STRANGE noise and then something from inside the castle tackled her. It was nun other than…Raven.
She smelled her favorite treat…banana. She smelled it from a monkey that a kid named, Jason Longbottom. He was hiding some treats for he's monkey, Bum, for he did nothing but eat, sleep, and make a ton of noise. Mrs. McGonagall had her eyeglasses half off her face and her usually TIGHT bun was in a ponytail that had little curly hairs flying everywhere.
Then Bum leaped off of Jason's shoulder and switched to Mrs. McGonagall. After Raven finished the banana, she started to lick Mrs. McGonagall clean. (Raven doesn't have the mintest breath in the world too)
Sam ran over and grabbed Raven by the stomach, trying to pry Raven off of Mrs. McGonagall. She finally got her off with Kyle's help. Jason' needed help with is monkey, not because Bum was trying to get loose of Jason's grip. He was clawing Jason to death out of fright. And one claw of Bum's found its way up Jason's nose.
D.J. couldn't stop laughing. After her little laughing fit, she helped Jason out with Bum.
Sam wasn't worried about Jason. She was worried about Mrs. McGonagall's reaction to Raven. She ran over to see what she could do to help Mrs. McGonagall out. Mrs. McGonagall's glasses were crooked and one lens was cracked to no return. Sam ran over and helped her up. She saw her glasses and winced, thinking is was going to get a scolding of a lifetime.
Sam just pulled out her wand and muttered "Reparo."
"Thank you. Oh, and YOU ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO KNOW SPELLS! I COULD GET YOU EXPELLED FOR HAVING A DOG ON SCHOOL GROUNDS!" Professor McGonagall scolds.
"I am sorry, ma'am." Sam muttered like she was about to cry. "But I couldn't leave my dog, Raven. Alone with my sister."
"Please, please forgive her. I will pay for Raven to stay. Please." Came a sweet, soft girl's voice from the back of the crowd.
"NO! What is you're name?"
"Raimina (Rai r-ay) Careen (Care-E-n) McDwane, Ma'am. My father is the Minister of Magic and is Major of a Muggle town called Austin, and is Governor of a Muggle state, Texas."
"So, you're rich, pretty, and single. HA! I'm in luck." Thacro said as he put his arm around Rai's neck (Raimina).
"EWWWWW! DESCUSTING! GET OFF!" Rai shouted, grabbing his arm, and throwing Malfoy over her back and made him land, face up, out of breath, and right by McGonagall.
"HAHAHA! Serves you right, you mangy pervert." Sam taunted.
"You, Sam is it?" McGonagall said as she brushed herself off and stood with her hands on her hips. Sam nodded when she asked her name. "Follow me. And the rest of you go into the Great Hall, and be seated. I will be there shortly. Kyle, you tell Professor Dumbledore to meet me outside in the hall."
"Yes, ma'am. I'm sorry, Sam, really I am." Kyle said depressed.
Back At Home
"Mommy. Where's Raven? I can't find her." Mel said in a high annoying voice.
"What are you whinnying about now?" Molly continued, "I have a headache from you and your constant whinnying."
Mel got teary, but told her mom what was wrong; "I can't find Raven."
"Why do you want to find Raven?"
" 'Cuz I want to put a tag on her." Mel said as he put her hands behind her back and swayed from side to side.
"What tag?" Molly said having a worried yet interested look on her face.
(You know the one that moms give when they want you to tell something, that might lead to disaster)
"A tag I had made for her…"
"I'm not going to play games with you! Got it! So what does it say on the tag?"
"That she belongs to meeeeee."
"WHAT! She doesn't belong to you. She's Sam's."
"But why does she have to be Sam's?"
"Melody Rose Spring! When Sam was 3 she paid for Raven herself. She feeds her, waters her, plays with her, and has to pry your fingers off of her, EVERDAY! I tell you what, if you can take care of Spirit, my cat, until Greg gets back. Then you can have an animal of your own, but if I have to do one thing that you forgot to do. Then, you can't have a pet of your own tell you go to school." Molly said strictly and shacking her finger.
"Don't worry, Mum. I'll have a pet by the end of December, when Greg comes home from school."
Back at school
"Kyle said you need to see me, Mrs. McGonagall." Professor Dumbledore said as he stepped out into the hallway.
"Yes, it is about this girl here. Her name is…"
"Sam…Samantha Darlene Springs. What is the problem?" Dumbledore said cutting McGonagall off in mid sentence.
"She brought a flea-hairy-despiteful DOG to school! And there is HAS to be something in the rule books about this."
"It is true there are rules about pets, but there is nothing about having a dog." Dumbledore said as he had his bony hand on his chin, and thinking hard with his eyes closed. "Now Sam, is Raven obedient?"
"PROFESSOR! How can you let this mangy dog be in this school?" McGonagall said as she stood with her hands on her hips.
"Calm down. Now Sam, please answer my question."
"Yes sir, she is obedient. Why does this matter?"
"Hmm. Well is she potty trained?"
