Chapter 3: Quidditch and Homework
Jen was looking at herself in the mirror, frowning, and her face still a beet red. She looked herself up and down. Her smooth, dark brown hair cascading down to the middle of her back, her brown eyes shining happily always, her figure with beautiful curves where they were supposed to be, lightly tanned skin, and her glasses suited her perfectly. Her cheeks began to fade to their natural color as Rei came in.
"You okay now?" she asked, leaning next to the mirror.
"Yeah I guess. I really didn't mean to fall asleep. I think I like Draco," Jen said shyly. And with that, Rei changed her mind about telling Jen about the mishap. She doubted Draco would tell anyone the true reason of the cuts on his arm. She could just imagine it "Oh, these cuts? I got them trying to kiss that new chick Rei and she held my wrist in a vise grip and dug her nails in. Yeah." She resisted chuckling.
"Cool. I guess he's fairly hot," Rei said, looking behind her shoulder. Then she went to her trunk and rummaged through it. "Did you bring my CD player in?"
"It's on your nightstand," she told her.
"Oh…" she noticed the nightstands on the right of each bed. There was one drawer on each then a shelf close to the bottom, supposedly to keep books. Rei pulled her newly purchased spell books from her trunk and shoved them onto the shelf.
"I'm hungry," Rei whined, flopping onto the four-poster bed and staring at the top.
"That's nice," Jen said dully.
"This school is boring…"
"Woo hoo," Jen said sarcastically.
"I saw Ron today," Rei added happily.
"What happened? You seduce him into snogging you yet?" Jen laughed as she sat on her bed and looked at her.
Rei sighed. "I wish. Heh. He showed me around the school. Hey Jen, your dad's a muggle right?"
"Yeah why?"
"Well, Ron asked why you and I didn't have those ugly accents like most of the people at Durmstrang and I told him that we were half and half. He told me the last halfblooded Slytherin was You-Know-Who. Ironic, isn't it?" Rei asked.
"I guess."
"It's gotta be time for dinner by now. I'm so hungry… I'm gonna die!" Rei groaned.
"Oh, stop being such a drama dork. You just ate five chocolate frogs a few hours ago," Jen rolled her eyes.
"But they were small… and I had to split one with you," Rei whined.
"Dear Merlin!" Jen groaned.
The door flew open and they both turned to it. Pug-girl was here.
"What are you two doing here?" she sneered.
"Nice to meet you too," Rei said sarcastically.
"Your umm… umm… your Pansy Parkinson right?" Jen asked her, forgetting her name.
She smiled, for a moment not looking half bad. "I see my reputation proceeds me."
"Uum, no. Malfoy told us who you were," Rei said, sitting up. "Do you know if it's time for dinner yet?"
"Actually yes, it is. Come on, I'll show you were we've to sit," Pansy offered.
"Thanks, that would be great Pansy," Jen said. Her voice wasn't as horrid now as it was on the train, much less actually, although she was almost just as ugly.
They followed her down to the Great Hall, along with Draco.
"Wow… look at all this food!" Rei gaped. Jen shook her head thinking, 'How typical of her…'
As they ate, a professor with short, greasy looking black hair and an odd look of loathe that seemed to permanently be plastered upon his face. He was passing out schedules.
"And who are you two?" He slowly drawled when he came upon Jen and Rei.
"She's Rei Hiyashiro and I'm Jen Malaysay, sir. We transferred from Durmstrang," Jen said.
"Well, Miss Malaysay, Miss Hiyashiro, I expect you know the expectations of Hogwarts and shall be in my class tommorow. I am your potions teacher, Professor Snape, head of Slytherin house. Here are your class schedules and I bid you good day," Snape said as he left with a dramatic swish of his black robes.
Jen glanced down at her schedule.
"We have double potions tommorow morning… I didn't know they could do that. And apparently we have it with… the Gryffindors. There's your chance to flirt with Ron for two hours," Jen added.
"We have different schedules every day, that's weird," Rei said when she glanced down at her schedule. Rei looked over at Jen's schedule and added, "I think most of the 6th years all have the same schedules, as does the fifth years and so on and so forth."
"Hmm…"
The next morning was fairly calm. Jen and Rei sat in a desk behind Harry and Ron's.
"Hi Ron. Hi… um… Harry wasn't it?" Rei said leaning forward.
"Yeah," Harry said.
"Wait… Harry Potter…Harry Potter…" she gasped. "You're the Harry Potter?"
"Yeah, the one and only," Harry said smiling, moving his hair slightly to show his scar.
"Oh wow…. Oh I'm sorry, I'm sure this happens to you a lot and you don't need your classmate gaping. Sorry, sorry, sorry…" Rei said slouching in her seat, a tad ashamed.
"Oh, it's alright. I'm kind of used to it. So, Ron tells me you two are Slytherin…" he trailed off, as if not comfortable continuing his sentence.
"Hence the green and silver ties," Rei said, pulling out her tie, which she loosened slightly.
"Lucky. Snape goes easy on the Slytherins, he takes points from Gryffindor almost every lesson," Ron groaned.
"Why don't you have the accent like Krum?" Harry asked.
"I used to live in the U.S., California. Then my mum had a job change and it sent us over to the Durmstrang area. It moved us again to London and here we are," Rei said then sighed, "I miss California…."
"I see…" Harry replied. They all sat as they were as Rei and Jen noticed Blaise and Draco sat behind them.
"Good morning," Jen smiled to Draco.
As the door flew open, Snape walked in with a dramatic swish of his cloak and the beginning of a fairly interesting day started.
Rei sat in the library, balancing a pencil on top of her nose being bored as hell. Who'd've thought so many of the teachers would give homework on the first day of class.
"You hate this stuff too, huh?"
Rei looked up to greet Ron. "Yeah. Hi Ron, what's up?"
"Came to do homework of course, Rei," Ron replied putting down his scrolls of parchment.
"I see."
After some 10 minutes after Ron had sat down, their short silence was broken.
"So…" Ron said nervously.
Rei continued to scribble away on her parchment. "Yeah?"
"Well… you know, the first Hogmeade visit is coming up, I'm sure you know," Ron said nervously.
"I know, I saw it on the common room board. I've got no one to go with besides Jen, but she's my back-up plan," Rei said while she was writing, then mumbled "Shoot" as she crossed out something she wrote with her quill.
"Um… I was wondering if you would…um… well…er… go with me…" Ron said hopefully. Rei stopped writing and looked up curiously. He had a worried look on his face that was just so cute.
"Are you asking me out?" Rei asked grinning. Ron nodded slowly. Rei pretended to ponder as she packed up her things quickly. It was fun to make guys hang on a thread. "I'd love to." Rei gave him a soft kiss on the cheek and left him in the library smiling.
Elsewhere at the same moment….
Jen was sitting in the common room, quietly reading a book amongst all the laughter and loudness in the common room. As she felt a shift of weight in the coach, she looked up from her book. It was Draco.
"Hello," she said quietly.
As they spoke, they slowly got to know each other. Upon hearing of the school's quidditch team, Jen became exited.
"Oh wow, and they allow girls in the teams? In Durmstrang no girls were allowed to play on the teams and it sucked. So when can I try for the team?" Jen asked.
When he told her, she squeeled. "Aww man! I wish I'd known, then I'd have brought my broom! It's a Firebolt but, mind you, it took me a year to save up for it but at first I was saving up for a Nimbus Two Thousand and One but when the Firebolt came out I just kept saving," she sighed. "Beautiful thing it is, really, a Firebolt. Oh! I know, does the school have any brooms we can use to practice?" he nodded. "Yay! Come on, you can help me practice. I've been practicing to be either a Keeper or a Beater."
Jen grabbed Draco's hand and led him out of the common room, excited.
"I'm the team captain actually, I'll show you the pitch and where they keep the brooms and stuff," Draco said with pride.
"Cool! Help me practice then!"
Draco showed her the pitch and unlocked the shed with the Slytherin team's Quidditch supplies. She was actually very good at the game. Draco could tell she practiced often. She was much better at Beater than she was a Keeper, having very good aim and letting the ball go through the hoops all but two times.
"I think you'd have a good chance to be a Beater, if you ask me," Draco said as they both dismounted from their brooms.
"Thanks a lot, Draco," Jen smiled. In the few hours they'd spoken, Jen and Draco really got to know each other. (A/n I'm sorry if this part sounds a tad rushed. I couldn't really make it… well... not.)
"The first Hogmeade weekend is in a bit right?" Jen asked.
"Yes, this weekend," Draco looked at her raising an eyebrow. (A/n I know, its seems too soon huh?)
"Hm…" she mumbled and looked away sheepishly.
"Would you—"
Draco was cut off by Jen blurting out: "Would you like to come with me to Hogsmeade?"
Draco smirked and raised an eyebrow. "I always thought it customary for the guy to ask out the girl."
Jen threw his smirk right back at him. "True, all too true. Well, in the U.S. it's customary for the girl to ask if she doesn't want to wait for the guy to step up."
He smiled and crossed his arms in front of his chest. "Well then, I guess I'd be delighted. I'll meet you in the common room day of, an hour early."
Jen grinned. "Great." She turned on her heel to leave but then remembered all the Quidditch supplies and turned back to him. "I have to help you with putting this all away, don't I?"
"That would be nice," Draco said as he picked up the large box with all the game balls. He handed her the brooms and they trudged to the shed again.
"Jen! Jen! Jen! Jen! Guess what?" Rei said excitedly as she ran into the girls' dormitories.
"Um… you finished your homework?" Jen asked.
"…I knew there was something I was forgetting!" Rei said as she slapped her forehead. "But no."
"Shoulda figured… umm… I don't know, what?" Jen gave up.
"Ron asked me out! Yay!" she said, absolutely giddy.
"Good for you! I asked Draco out, actually. Yay us!" Jen said as they high-fived.
"The Hogsmeade visit huh?" Rei asked.
"Yuppers."
"Wait…Draco said he hated Potter didn't he?" Rei asked.
Jen nodded.
"Great then. We'll have to avoid each other if we stick with them. I suppose if he hates Potter he'll probably hate his best friend."
"I suppose… like… oh yeah, remember that one dude… uh…. Whats-his-face… oh yeah, John! He hated you, therefore he hated me. Oh mi gosh, I think he goes here…" Jen said. "Damn…."
"Aw, crap. Hmm…" Rei pulled out some paper out of nowhere and grabbed up her black quill and purple inkpot. She started drawing a schedule. As she spoke, she pointed at each aspect of the plan. "Okay, here's the plan. We both go to the Three Broomsticks, when we get there, there's always so many people in there there's only a slight chance we'll bump into each other and even if we do we won't speak. Then me and Ron will go to Honeydukes while you go to Zonkos. Ron seems the kind of guy who likes a good sweet. Then after a while we can switch off. Know what, I won't schedule what you do. You two can do whatever the hell you jolly well please but here is the schedule for where Ron and I will go. Memorize it, live it, give it back to me, and make sure you don't go to any of those places of those places at the same time! Who knows, Draco might go berserk or something if he sees a Slytherin out with a Gryffindor. Ron's told me about the house rivalries, it's annoying, really. Okay, any questions?" Rei looked up, feeling like a drill sergeant and knowing she sounded like it.
"Sir, yes, sir!" Jen said, saluting as Rei raised an eyebrow. "I mean, m'am, yes, m'am! Aww, never mind." They both laughed.
