Chapter 5: Meeting Mildred

Selina and Ethel talked most of the afternoon away, walking around the school and occasionally meeting someone Ethel knew.

Near dinnertime, the two of them were standing off to the side in the hallway, when someone walked into Selina accidentally.
"So sorry." The girl said.
"It's alright." Selina replied.

"No it's not, you should watch where you're going, Mildred Hubble!" Ethel exclaimed.
"I said it was alright, it was an accident after all. Keep in mind the fact that we only met because I walked into you in the hall." Selina said to Ethel.
Ethel remained silent, not really knowing how to react.

Selina then turned to the other girl.
"My name's Selina Snape, what's yours?" She asked.
"Mildred Hubble. Are you new here?" Mildred asked in response.
"Yes, I'm here for only a year, on the request of my mother, Miss Hardbroom, she wanted me to get a taste of a different kind of magic." Selina replied.
"That sounds nice." Said Mildred.
"Yeah, it should be an interesting year. Everything is so different already." Said Selina.
"Well, I suppose it varies from place to place." Mildred said.
"Yes, it seems to do so." Selina replied.

Just then Miss Hardbroom appeared in the hallway.
"Getting to know everyone already, Selina?" She asked.
"Yes, I've met quite a few people that seem nice so far, Mildred and Ethel in particular." Selina replied.

Ethel and Mildred glared at each other.

"Mildred Hubble?" Miss Hardbroom asked in surprise, noticing Mildred standing there.
"Yes." Selina replied, rather confused.
"Selina I forbid you to get to know her that well. You may talk to Ethel all you want, but Mildred is another story." Miss Hardbroom said sternly.
"But, why? Even father doesn't restrict who I can and cannot be friends with." Selina replied, still rather confused.

Ethel looked extremely happy at this, while Mildred looked disappointed.

"What your father does and does not do is not my concern. And I would like you to respect my wishes on the matter, and not spend much time with Mildred." Miss Hardbroom continued in her stern tone.
"But." Selina protested.
"No buts, we can talk this over later if need be, but this is all I'm going to say on the matter for now." Miss Hardbroom said, disappearing from the hallway again.

"Well, my year is off to a great start now." Selina said sarcastically a few moments later.
"Trust me, your mother's right, you shouldn't be Mildred's friend." Ethel said, glaring at Mildred again.

"If you both don't mind, I'd rather be alone for a while." Selina said, walking off to her room.

Mildred and Ethel went their separate ways, to find their friends and tell them about what had just happened.

Selina reached her room, sat down on the bed, and started to write a letter to her father to tell him all about her first day there, and how badly it had ended.

When she had finished writing, she gave the letter to her owl to take to her father, and watched it fly off into the distance, having made up her mind not to go to dinner that night, preferring to be alone for the night instead.
