Chapter 4, yummy lunch
They got there and they separated from Sara, wishing her luck at the horrible table. As soon as she sat down, about 6 boys went to sit down beside her. Harry smiled and walked toward his table with his friends.
Hermione spotted Malfoy walk in and smile as he looked at the table. He walked proudly to the table and stopped behind one boy and whispered something in his ear that quickly made him jump up, with his face full of horror and he ran to the other table, leaving the spot next to Sara free.
Hermione, thinking quickly, stood up and walked up to the staff table. She went right up to Dumbledore and asked him something, he nodded and she smiled. She made her way back down, she stared at Sara.
Sara stared back, and Hermione motioned for her to come over to where they were sitting. She quickly stood up ignoring Malfoy's grip on her arm and walked over to the Gryffindor table.
Harry moved over for Sara to sit next to him and Ron and Harry smiled at Hermione who was looking at Malfoy's surprised face. Sara sat down and suddenly the Great Hall went silent for a few minutes staring at Sara, and they just began to talk and so did the rest of the Great Hall after a few minutes.
The four of them didn't even realize it, but Snape was giving the most evil glare towards Sara. 'I'm going to Dumbledore right after dinner tonight.' He thought glaring at Sara.
Snape stepped into the headmaster's office with pure anger. Dumbledore rose from his seat.
"Headmaster! Why did you let one of my own students go and sit with that… that Potter!" "Severus, calm down, it seems that Sara does not wish to sit with any Slytherins or much less young Mister Malfoy. So I have decided that she can sit anywhere she wants, to try and promote other students to do the same."
"Humph!" was all Snape could say. He was not happy with Miss Sara Ritter. 'I will have a talk with her soon.'
Classes went well for the trio, but they were mostly worrying about how Sara was doing with Malfoy bothering her.
But when dinner came along, they were surprised to hear that Malfoy wasn't bothering her, no one was and she was glad. Over the next few weeks Sara and Hermione were studying in the library, and she was secretly teaching Sara how to use a wand.
They used the secret rooms from when Harry was training for the Triwizard tournament in his 4th year, Hermione explained. And so by the end of November, Sara was just a regular 6th year, with a bit of Hermione in her.
