Chapter 2: Words
"Slytherin!" the hat called out. The same happened to Jen.
"Now, you may go into the Great Hall and sit at the table with the green and silver banner above it," McGonagall told them.
"Yes m'am," they both said as she led them out of the office and into the Great Hall.
McGonagall brought the hate down with them. Jen and Rei sat next to Draco and Blaise again.
"So you were put into Slytherin?" Draco asked.
"I guess," Rei said.
"So how's the potions program in this school? What about the teacher?" Jen said. Rei sighed, it was so typical of her.
"Very good, Snape is the head of Slytherin," Blaise explained.
"He favors us Slytherins," Draco said proudly.
"Who's the defense against the dark arts teach?" Rei asked.
Draco shrugged. "The jobs cursed it changes every year since first year. They all seem to be loons. Heard the last one used a quill that etched words into people's hands for her detentions. Of course, I never had a detention so I wouldn't know," Draco smirked.
Blaise smiled and almost laughed as he said, "That's because you were a kiss-up to her."
"Shut up, Blaise," Draco murmured.
The walked up to the Slytherin common room and Draco muttered the password.
"Veritaserum," he said and walked in. Rei gaped at the common room.
"Nice huh?" Draco asked.
"Beautiful… so much black… beautiful, beautiful, black…" Rei trailed off as she rubbed a heavy black velvet curtain against her cheek.
Draco looked at her funny then ran a hand thorugh his hair as he stepped back.
Jen's hand landed on his shoulder. "Try not to be alarmed. She's always like that."
Draco nodded vaguely as Jen detached Rei from the curtain. "Come on…."
"Where's the dorms?" Jen asked, still holding on to Rei because she refused to stand on her own. Jen pulled her to an upright position then let go.
"Its those stairs to the left, they lead to the girls' dorms. Your stuff is already up there," Blaise said.
"But you can always go to the boys' dorms if you like," Draco smirked as Blaise rolled his eyes and went up the staircase to the right.
Jen blushed and gave Rei a nudge to the staircase to the girls' dorms. "Come on Rei. Lets go and put the headphones on you so you can clear your head…."
When they came back, Draco was sitting on one of the leather couches (a/n okay, totally don't remember what the Slytherin common room looks like so im just going by wat I remember frm da second hp movie) staring at the fire quietly. He looked up at them and lightly smiled but then looked back at the jumping flames. Rei was murmuring the lyrics of a song that was only audible to her.
Jen sat next to Draco.
"You're thinking, aren't you?" she said quietly.
"Yeah. How'd you tell?" Draco said looking at her.
Jen shrugged. "Its easy to tell but I can't explain."
Draco nodded to Rei, who was silently screaming the words of a song and nodding he head with the beat. "What's she doing?"
"Listening to a CD, not sure which one though. She changes them so much I can never tell anymore."
"I take it she has a lot of CDs then?" Draco asked.
Jen nodded. "You take right. She has everything from Avril Lavigne to the Weird Sisters."
"Who's she?"
"Never mind it," Jen paused. She had been looking for a conversation starter but she thought that convo was pretty much down the drain. "When do classes start?"
"Tommorow after breakfast. I believe Snape should be giving us our schedules during either dinner or breakfast tommorow. I bet we'll have a bunch of classes with Potter…" Draco muttered the last part. Jen's mind reeled then she remembered the Harry they met on the train had the last name Potter…. Wait… Harry Potter…. She had just met the Harry Potter and didn't say anything! She supposed she shouldn't say anything anymore but he didn't seem to be that bad.
"What's wrong with Harry?" Jen asked.
He looked at her like she was crazy. "Everything, that's what's wrong! He's a prat, a do-gooder seeking attention, and he pretends he's modest! Puh! I offered him a hand of friendship and he snubbed me!"
"Oh…"
"What's so great about him anyway? He didn't do anything and he's dumber than a goldfish," Draco muttered annoyed. He looked at Jen, "Sorry. Didn't mean to rant."
"It's okay. I do that sometimes too, on some subjects its hard not to."
There was an awkward silence broken by Rei.
"Hey, I'm gonna go explore this place. Bring this up when you can, thanks," Rei put her CD player in Jen's lap. "Oh, and if I'm not back in two hours… just wait longer. Ciao."
Rei walked out and jammed her hands into her robe pockets. She walked slowly through the corridors, not giving the portraits of a fruits basket and a fat lady a second thought. She exited the main of the school and found herself in a lush green courtyard with a lake. A redheaded boy walking around the lake caught Rei's eye.
"Yo Ron!" Rei called.
He turned as Rei ran up to him.
"Hi…Rei, wasn't it?" Ron asked.
"Yep, the new girl Rei, that's me," Rei said.
"So, what's up?" Ron asked, continuing to walk.
"I was hoping you could show me around the school and stuff," Rei looked down sadly at his doubtful face and added in a soft voice, "although I can understand if you don't want to…. Seeing as how you just met me and all…."
"Oh! No, no, no! That's not it. I was just surprised you'd ask me. I figured you might ask Harry or Neville or someone from your house. What house were you put in, anyway?"
"Slytherin."
"Oh," he said, the disappointment in his voice everything but hard to find.
"What house are you in?"
"Gryffindor."
"Okay…. So are you gonna show me around, or what?"
"Or what," Ron repeated.
"I'd rather the first, thanks," Rei said and pulled his arm in the direction of the school.
"Fine. Where did you say you're from?" Ron asked.
"I didn't."
"Well then, where are you from?"
"Durmstrang. Me and Jen transferred, I'm not sure why though," Rei told him.
"Why don't you two have thick accents like Krum?" Ron asked.
"'Cause we weren't raised there. I grew up in California in the US--not sure about Jen though. Think she grew up in London--but we moved because my mom's job called for it, she's a muggle. She was quite surprised when that owl came through the window," Rei said and trailed off.
Ron stopped. "Wait… you're in Slytherin and you're a halfblooded? You must be joking me."
"Is that a rare occurrence?" I ask as I raise an eyebrow, wondering if he's trying to insult me.
"The hell it is! The last halfblood to be put in Slytherin was Tom Riddle… I mean You-Know-Who!" Ron almost yelled.
She stared at him blankly and walked on as she shrugged. "Well I guess that's irony for ya."
Ron raised an eyebrow but then smiled. She seemed nice; he doubted she'd be the next you-know-who. Little did he know…just kidding. Hehe.
"The Magical Creatures classes are down their right… well, you can probably follow someone over there tomorrow. Astronomy class is right there." They walked up stairs and Ron stopped at a door. "Here's the defense against the dark arts classroom. It's Lupin again, he was here three years ago. He's a werewolf but he's really cool, best damn teacher we've had here." Ron showed her all the classrooms and told her the meal times and how each house has their own table.
"I'll see you later then, huh?" Rei said.
"Yep. Bye," Ron said as they went their separate ways. Rei checked her pocket watch, of which her cousin had given her a few years ago, seeing about two hours had passed. She went back to the Slytherin common room and raised an eyebrow when she saw Jen napping, Jen's head on Draco's shoulder.
"Damn, Malfoy, are you really that boring?" Rei laughed.
He looked up at her and blushed. Rei walked over and shook Jen slightly. Her eyes slowly fluttered open and she squinted. She sat up and turned her head towards Draco.
"Aah!" she yelled and jumped up. She rubbed her eyes as Rei doubled over, clutching her sides, laughing.
"Ohmigosh…. Sorry, sorry, sorry!" Jen said, putting her face in her hands. "I'm always sleepy after long trips and the train to Hogwarts was by far the longest."
"Jen, it's alright…" Draco said but she kept going.
"My gosh, I mean, I just fell asleep on your shoulder when you were talking and you must think I'm an idiot…" Jen paused and noticed Rei was still laughing her head off. "Did you just say it's alright?"
Draco nodded.
"Oh…"
Between laughs Rei hissed, "Haha! Can't…. breathe…." then she started laughing again.
Jen blushed a beet red, walked over to Rei and hit her on the back, then went up the girls' dormitories steps.
As Rei calmed down her breathing became more regular. She stood and found Draco staring at her like a crazy person.
"I think you made her mad…" Draco trailed off confused.
"No, that's doubtful. She's just embarrassed that she fell asleep. Especially on a guy's shoulder, give her a few minutes and she'll be back down happy as normal," Rei said then sat down in an armchair. "So how long 'til lunch?"
"Not sure. About an hour maybe," he replied.
"Damn. I am starving. I didn't eat anything on the train," Rei whined.
"Your use of vulgar words doesn't at all suit your beautiful face," Draco said. She looked up and raised an eyebrow.
"Well that came out of nowhere…" Rei looked back at the fire and didn't notice him step towards her and go into the motions of giving her kiss. (A/n yeh, I think it's kinda obvious draco's got a thing for me on this part. Hehe. I wasn't going to make it obvious but the words just flowed…) His hand on her chin, tilting her face up to meet his gaze hardly a foot apart.
"Okay, either you let go of me or I hurt you," Rei sneered. Draco smirked and brought her closer until his lips touched hers. Rei abruptly grabbed his wrist and tightened her hold as she pushed him away. Rei glared at him hard. Her grip tightened again and she dug her nails into the back of his wrist until she drew blood.
"I told you to let go of me," she sneered and let go as she walked down the same path as Jen. When she wasn't in his field of vision he grasped his wrist and rubbed it gingerly. She had left bruises and cuts.
"Damn…" he mumbled. He took out his wand and muttered a spell to clean and bandage the cuts and bruise.
Rei smirked when she heard him and continued up the stairs.
wat'd ya think? i truly did plan on me (rei) and jen not finding out about draco's possiblys short lived crush on me but i couldn't help it. i've been aching to write a kiss for hella long. P i kno, odd thing to say but i have. ug. i think i've captured myself in the character of me fairly well.... lol. but seriously, i might hav really done that. and my grip really is that tight. i have a tight grip. not sure why.
PLZ R&R!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
thanx, ciao!
