Chapter 7: Holy freaking owls!
Reïka ran back to her dorm, ignoring the cries for her from her peers. She slammed the door, mumbled a few words and the door was locked from the inside. Then she went to her window and gave a weird hoot. People would have taught she were crazy until a beautiful black eagle owl came swooping in and landed on her shoulder. 'Good evening Medianoche, I haven't seen you in a while.' She told her owl with a smile on her face. 'I have a letter you will give to father as soon as I'm done writing it so you can sit on my desk or leave until it's complete.' Her owl flew out the window.
Fine, I didn't want you around me either…
Reïka walked over to her desk and began to write:
Dear Papa,
It's me, Reïka, and I'm sick and tired of faking like this! I wish I didn't have to come here and you could still teach me. But, I have to come here because it's safer then staying with you (even if I can protect myself). Anyways, here is a little bit about here:
I'm Hufflepuff Prefect and I wish I were in Slytherin. (Hufflepuff's suck)
The other Prefects are:
Hermione Granger-Gryffindor
Terry Boot-Ravenclaw
Me-Hufflepuff
And Draco Malfoy-Slytherin
The head girl/boy are Cho Chang and Roger Davies
My favorite professor is of course P. Snape
And don't worry daddy, I'm playing nicely with the other children. Smiles sweetly
So it's time to go and I'll see you for Christmas break.
LoveReïka
XOXO
Reïka got up and went back to the window, did the funny hooting sound again and watched her owl come. She attached the letter and told Medianoche to bring it to her father. 'Bye.' She said as her owl left. She was now tired so she got into her PJs and laid in bed. Just before she finally decided to sleep, she picked up her wand and unlocked the door.
Next morning came in a flash. Reïka was walking down the corridors to get to the Great hall for breakfast. She walked in, sat down at the Hufflepuff table and began to eat a toast with raspberry jam. When the mail came, she looked hopefully for Medianoche and when she noticed her owl wasn't there, she went back to eating her toast. Just then a black eagle owl (it's not her's) landed in front of her with a red rose clamped in its beak and a letter attached to its foot. 'Is this for me?' she said in a surprised tone. She slowly opened the letter and read the beginning:
Dearest Reïka,
Reïka looked at her Hufflepuff friends and blushed crimson, but she continued.
I have watched you from afar and every time you smile, the butterflies in my stomach flutter. Even if you do not smile to me, it feels as if you are. I am gathering all the courage inside myself to ask you this simple question: Would you give me the great pleasure of accompanying me to the ball? I await your answer from this owl when you have made your decision. If you wish to accompany me, do not worry about what to wear; I will sort through that.
Silver DragonReïka looked around and asked the 2nd year, sitting beside her for a quill. He handed her the quill and she scrawled the words: "Of course I would love to go with you" and sent the owl on its way. She turned to continue her pumpkin juice when another owl flew in front of her. Reïka took the letter the owl was carrying and read the front: READ ON YOUR OWN. She looked around to see who could have sent it to her, and then it hit her. She excused her self from the table and almost ran out the Great hall. When she got in her dorm, she sat on her bed and opened the letter. In dainty hand writing, was written:
To Miss R.
This letter is to inform you that we were attacked and your sister will be joining you at Hogwarts for the rest of the school year. She will arrive on October 30th.
Lady L.'Oh my god! Did I just read right? How can they ruin my social life like this! Sending my little sister to me a few days before the Halloween ball! Argh! I could kill!' Reïka shouted loudly.
Knock, knock, knock
'Come in.' she said as Hermione and Cho walked in. 'Are you ok? We were downstairs and we heard you freaking out.' Hermione asked carefully as if scared to be blown-up. Cho nodded behind her, making sure she could run out the door at any sight of crankiness. ' No, no, it's ok, it's just that I found out the my parents were attacked and my little sister is coming here.' 'Oh, was it by Death eaters?' Hermione asked. 'No. Um…sorry yes it was I'm just too tired to know what I'm saying. Didn't sleep well last night.' Reïka answered, blushing a little. Just then, another owl came swooping in and landed on her bed. She picked up the letter, starting to get bored of them and read:
Reïka,
I'm happy you've said yes. We should meet somewhere to talk about our costumes for the ball. So if you can, meet me at the quidditch pitch at 7:00 pm. send me a letter with this owl if you can't make it.
Silver Dragon
She walked over to her desk, took out a quill from her top drawer and looked at the two girls. 'It's a letter from him.' She said. 'From who?' Cho asked, winking. 'Oh yeah, I never told you, did I? I have a date for the ball.' said Reïka, scribbling on the back of the parchment that she would be there. 'Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to get to divination.' With that, she left before she could hear what Cho and Hermione had to say about it.
Reïka was walking up the stairs to the divination classroom when she was knocked over from behind. She turned to see who had pushed her only to see Peeves flying away, cackling. But behind him was Draco backing out from a couple of rooms over, with that pug-faced bitch exiting the room and walking towards him, wand pointed at him. 'What were you doing with that ugly frizzy-haired Hufflepuff prefect?' she screeched. While playing it coolly, Draco answered 'nothing for your information, we went for a walk.' 'But my senses saw you going in a closet.' Said the girl, proudly. 'What Pansy, you have people stalking me now? But whatever, I had to talk to her without being heard.' 'Sure…likely story…just admit you were snoging her…you little son of a-'
Hem hem
Pansy stopped talking; they looked over to see Reïka, sitting in the stairs, watching them. 'Excuse me but why aren't you two in class? I'll have to take 10 points away from you.' She said pointing to Pansy. 'What about him?' Pansy said jabbing her thumb towards Draco. After sending a wink to Draco (pansy didn't notice) she said: 'I'm sorry, I can't take points from him because he is also a prefect.' She answered, looking as if she could, she would then continued her way to class.
At quarter to seven, Reïka decided it was time to meet "Silver Dragon" so she walked towards the quidditch pitch. At five to seven, she sat by the nearest tree and waited. At exactly seven o' clock, a figure could be seen walking towards her. She got up and went and welcomed her "Silver Dragon" to find it was only Malfoy. 'What do you want?' she said trying to look over his shoulder, but couldn't because he was taller then she was by a great deal. 'You waiting for someone?' he said. Trying to change the subject, thought Reïka. 'Yes as a matter of fact, I am. Now what do you want?' 'Who you waiting for?' he said with a smirk. 'My date for the ball. He said that we would meet here at seven, and it's now (she checked her watch) five after seven.' 'Well, who is it?' he said. 'I don't know who it is…he signed the letters as "Silver Dragon" and he's really late.' She said looking beside him, toward the castle. 'No he's not.' He said, shooting another smirk at Reïka. 'Yes, he is because it's only me and…you… You're "Silver Dragon" aren't you? Because "Draco" means Dragon and Silver is Slytherin color.' She said in an "it all fits" ton. 'Yep, but silver was also for my hair…' He said in an actual smile. 'One thing…why?' 'Well…because…I…well…you know…' said Draco, looking at his feet. 'No…I don't…ohh…' Reïka said, blushing. 'Yeah…well anyways…we should talk about the costumes we're going to where, I was thinking about the muggles, "Romeo & Juliet" by: William Shakespeare.' He said trying to change the subject. 'Who?' said Cortez, giving him a where did you come from look. 'Well…you're the mudblood…I mean muggle born, so you should know who they are. Muggles made a movie about them…we can watch it later, I'll go ask Dumbledore about it' he said. 'Oh…umm…them…I had forgot about them…wasn't Shakespeare a writer? Yeah… he was one wasn't-' She didn't finish her sentence because she dropped to her knees from the shit load of pain she had just felt. 'Shit.' She mumbled to herself. 'I have to go…we can talk later.' And she ran towards Hogwarts castle.
