Author's note: Ok, once again, the
only character I've created in this fic is Selina, the rest were
created by other people, and I don't own them in any way.
Please
read and review!
KittenAngel1403: Thanks so much for the review! I've been thinking of creating this for a while, and when I noticed a "Worst Witch" category, it just seemed that I should actually write it, lol. I actually started to create this, believe it or not, when I had one of my many "Selina" dreams, lol. In it, Miss Hardbroom became the mysterious missing mother, and it all seemed to fit together (or am I the only one who thinks Professor Snape and Miss Hardbroom seem perfect for each other? Lol). Ok, well, this is starting to sound more like an e-mail to you then a thank you, so I'll just finish by saying that I'd love to read yours if you ever make one.
Chapter 4: The Students Arrive
Miss Cackle and Miss Hardbroom talked the afternoon away, and soon evening had arrived, and it was only a few moments away from dinner.
"I'm going to go
check on Selina before we eat, she may have woken up by now."
Said Miss Hardbroom, getting up and heading towards the door.
Miss
Cackle nodded in response.
Miss Hardbroom left the room just as
Miss Bat and Miss Drill entered again, ready for dinner.
Miss Hardbroom arrived at Selina's room, and quietly opened the door a little, peering inside. Selina was still lying on the bed, sound asleep, and showing no signs of waking up anytime soon. Miss Hardbroom smiled a little at the sight, then closed the door quietly, and headed off downstairs again to go to dinner.
Dinner was now laid out on the table in Miss Cackle's office, and everyone was seated around it, awaiting the return of Miss Hardbroom, and possibly Selina.
Miss Hardbroom entered
the office a few moments later.
"She's still asleep."
She said, sitting down at the table.
"I'm not surprised, she
seemed rather tired after her trip." Said Miss Cackle.
Miss
Hardbroom nodded and everyone began to eat.
A while later, everyone had finished eating and talked the rest of the evening away. It eventually grew quite dark, and everyone headed off to their rooms for the night, going to get some sleep in order to be well rested for the arrival of the students the next day.
Morning eventually arrived, and the teachers got up and went about their usual morning routines.
The students began to arrive in the late morning. They all went up to their rooms to put their things away, then walked around the school, meeting with friends and greeting the teachers.
Selina awoke to the sound of many people in the hallways. She got up and changed her clothes, so that she was now wearing her uniform.
She then went out and
took a walk around the school, having a look at the school in general
and looking for someone who looked friendly enough to talk to.
She
was so busy looking around that she stopped looking where she was
going, and accidentally bumped into Ethel Hallow, who was standing
off to the side in a hall, waiting for a friend, and trying to escape
her sister.
Selina looked up.
"I'm so sorry about
that." She said.
Ethel smiled a little.
"It's
alright, you appear to be new here. I know how that feels." She
said.
Selina nodded.
"I'm Ethel Hallow by the way."
Ethel added.
Selina smiled.
"I'm Selina Snape."
Ethel suddenly noticed
that Selina's belt was the same colour as her own.
"You're a
fifth year?" She asked.
Selina nodded.
"Yes, my
mother teaches here and wanted me to come here for a year instead of
my other school, so I did." She replied.
"I don't know
of any teachers with the name of Snape." Said Ethel.
"Well,
my mother is Miss Hardbroom. My parents separated many years ago, and
my mother changed her name back. I live with my father." Said
Selina.
"Oh, I see. So,
what school did you come from?" Ethel asked. "Hogwarts
School of Witchcraft and Wizardry." Selina replied.
"Really?
My cousin goes to Hogwarts." Said Ethel.
"What's your
cousin's name?" Asked Selina.
"Draco Malfoy."
Ethel replied.
Selina laughed a little.
"Oh, I know him,
he's in my house at Hogwarts, and is also my neighbour."
Ethel
laughed as well.
"That's kind of funny."
Selina
nodded.
Ethel suddenly
remembered something.
"Wait, didn't we meet a few years ago
while I was visiting him?" She asked.
Selina thought for a
moment.
"You know, I think you're right." Selina
replied with a smile.
Another Author's note (added March 5th, 05): I think this has been the easiest chapter to re format thus far. Though, upon further review, I need to update chapters 1-10, so I still have a ways to go. Well, that's to make myself feel better about the formating. I could probably get away with doing less that that, but heh, why not do them all while I'm at it, right? Though I may not do them all tonight, because it's getting late (5 to 4 AM my time right now, and I still haven't gone to bed). I'll try to do up to chapters 1-5 though, because those seem to be the most desperate.
