Chapter Four
"Unfamiliar Ceiling"

Bella looked at her class schedule as she hurried down a hall holding her book bag in her lift hand. "Darn," breathed Bella. Her first class was Charms with—Bella groaned—the Gryffindors. Not at all how she would have liked to start her first day at Hogwarts. Bella hurried down the hall towards the classroom. As she walked she noticed Malfoy and his bodyguards (as Bella called them), Crabbe and Goyle, were just up ahead of her. She purposefully bumped shoulders with Malfoy as she pushed between him and Goyle.
"Hey, Grundy!" she heard him call.
Bella used her right hand to flip her hair over her shoulder as she turned around. "What, Malfoy?" she said haughtily.
"I think you owe us an apology." Said Malfoy mirroring Bella's tone.
Bella raised her eyebrow. "Oh, you do, do you?"
"Yes, don't think you can get away with anything just because we're in the same house and your mother was a—"
Before Malfoy could finish Bella was right up in his face. "Don't," said Bella in a deadly whisper. "Don't you ever talk about my mother. Unlike you I am not at all proud of who she was or what she did." That said Bella turned on her heel and marched into the Charms classroom.
"Then why are you in Slytherin?" called Malfoy after her with a laugh.

Bella was steaming through all of Charms class and didn't pay much mind to the short little Professor Flitwick. Needless to say she didn't do very good at all in her first class. But as she was walking to Transfiguration (they had that class with Ravenclaw) she over heard Malfoy talking to his bodyguards.
"That Grundy girl is a shame to our house." He said. "She'll be the downfall of us all, you mark my words."
At that Bella walked up behind Malfoy and said, rather loudly, "That's rich coming from you."
Malfoy wheeled around. "What do you want, Grundy?" he snapped.
"Oh, nothing," said Bella shifting her weight to her right foot and putting her hands on her hips. "I was just passing by is all."
"Is that so?" said Malfoy with a sneer.
"Yes, though I do hope talking to me isn't to much of a shame for you, Malfoy." Said Bella sarcasm thickly coating every word.
"You know what, it just might be."
Crabbe and Goyle sniggered.
"Don't hurt yourselves laughing." Said Bella with more then obviously fake concern and walked away.

Transfiguration, being the difficult subject that it was and taught by Professor McGonagall, proved not to be the best class to have after having a verbal fight with Malfoy. Bella found her concentration lay more on what he had said in the hall then what Professor McGonagall was teaching. Therefore, Bella found herself unable to transform the match on her desk into a nettle like she was supposed to. She, however, was determined not to fight with Malfoy again as she left Transfiguration but she found it quite hard. Just seeing Malfoy strutting down the halls with Crabbe and Goyle was enough to make Bella want to slap him.
Just who does he think he is! thought Bella as she angrily jabbed her food with her knife that day at lunch. I don't care if he's in my house he's still a prick!

Later that day, as Bella walked across the Grounds to the Green Houses for Herbology, Malfoy and company passed by her. Bella had expected to hear Malfoy make some snide comment but he just walked silently across the Grounds. Bella shrugged it off as she entered Green House Two with the rest of the class (this time they had class with Hufflepuff). Bella actually found that she rather enjoyed Herbology, she found it quite good fun to learn about different magical plants and such. As Bella walked back up to the Castle after class she looked at her schedule again. Potions with…GRYFFINDOR AGAIN! Bella stuffed the schedule back into her bag. Darn, why couldn't we've had Ravenclaw twice or Hufflepuff? But why Gryffindor! But Bella didn't get to harp long on this because she heard a now all too familiar voice behind her.
"Grundy. Hey, Grundy!"
Bella turned around ready to rail at Malfoy at the top of her voice when her eyes met his and she was blinded by a flash blue light.

His back was flat against the cold hard wall; he was helpless. He felt his father's breath against his cheek.

"Bend down."
"Wh-what!"
"You heard me, bend down."
Panic filled his body.

"Obey me!"
He felt a rough hand push him down and then forward so that he was on his hands and kneels. He was shaking uncontrollably and near the point of tears. He yelled and tried to get away as he felt his father's arms around his chest. He heard a cold laugh as he tried to get away. He could feel his father on top of him and his shaking became worse. He felt a sharp tug at his belt and yelled again but was only answered by another cold laugh as he felt his clothes torn off him. He made to try and get away but was stopped by a sudden intense pain that shot through his whole body. Tears rolled down his cheeks as he screamed in pain.

Another flash of blazing blue light blinded Bella again and suddenly she was lying on a bed looking up at an unfamiliar ceiling. Wh-what did I see?
"Good, you're awake." Said a woman's voice.
Bella suddenly realized that a slightly aged woman was bending over her.
"Where am I?" asked Bella.
"You're in the Hospital Wing." Said the woman. Bella noted she was wearing something like a nurse outfit.
"How'd I get here?"
"Young mister Malfoy brought you to me, said you'd fainted after Herbology class."
"Malfoy brought me?" Bella was in a bit of a shock.
"Yes." Said the woman.
Bella blinked. Prick-head Draco Malfoy brought me to the Hospital Wing? It can't be. "B-but what about classes? I need to get to class." At that moment Bella realize that outside the windows the sky was darkening. "I haven't missed classes have I?"
"You've been out cold for almost two days now."
"Two days!" I can't have been out that long!
"Get some rest," said the woman. "Lord knows, you could use it." Without another word she disappeared out of view.
Before I passed out…what was that I saw? It can't have been…a memory. I've never seen a memory that clearly. But if it was then that would make it…Malfoy's memory!
