*Chapter 5. hmm I wonder how long this is going to go on for???? Oh well.
Tell me if its getting too boring/tedious or whatever.
Oh Yeah I forgot to say last time. This story is sort of meant to happen along side of Book 5 so you may see elements of it in the story. Just saying that not all the plot is my own because I wanted to slot the story in with the books. If that makes any sense what so ever.*
Thinking
"I don't believe it!" Harry exclaimed to Raid, Ron and Hermione over lunch. "If me or Ron had walked in to a potions lesson 15 minutes late Snape would have given us detention for a month!"
"It is strange, he looked at you really weird Raid, like he knew something." Hermione said. "But he may just have been lenient with you because it is your first day and everything"
Harry and Ron didn't look convinced.
Then Ron laughed.
"I've never seen Snape sulk like that. You really showed him up Raid." The four of them fell about laughing.
Neville came over and sat down next to Harry.
"What are you lot laughing at?"
"Snape." Ron manage to say after taking a breath, then falling about laughing again. Raid had stopped laughing and was looking at Neville with that same sadness in her face that was there earlier. Then suddenly she just got up and walked out of the hall. The other three stopped laughing.
"Where's she gone?" Harry asked.
"I don't know." Hermione said looking a little concerned.
The others finished their lunch and made their way out to the castle grounds for a quick walk around the castle grounds before their next lesson. Neville left them at the front doors to go and make sure he hadn't forgotten anything.
"I hate Divinitation." Ron said angrily. "It is the stupidest thing I have ever done!"
Harry nodded in agreement, but said nothing, thinking of the prediction Professor Trewlawney had made 2 years ago. Harry was still deep in thought about Wormtail, Sirius and Voldemort, when he heard Ron exclaim.
"Look, over there! There's a black Unicorn. And there's someone next to it!" When Harry looked up he couldn't see any Unicorn, But he saw Raid walking towards them her long hair blowing in the wind.
"Where's a Unicorn?" He asked Ron dumbly.
"Umm, I don't know. It's gone. But I swear I saw one. Ask Raid." Ron answered. Hermione stayed quiet but waved and grinned at Raid who had just reached them.
"Sorry guys, I had to get some air." Raid said.
"Did you see a Unicorn over there? A black one?" Ron asked excitedly.
"A black Unicorn? Over there?" Raid said. Then she paused and looked at Ron then Harry. "Yes. It's mine." She said.
Ron and Harry's mouths fell open.
"Yours?" They asked, lost for words.
"Yes" Raid grinned at Ron and Harry's astounded faces. "I have Arithmacy next Hermione. You said you do too. Where do we have to go?"
Taking her cue from Raid Hermione said.
"Yeah I do, come on we'd better get going, see you later guys."
She and Raid walked to the castle leaving the two shocked boys staring after them. As soon as the boys couldn't see them any longer they burst in to fits of laughter.
"Did you see their faces?" Hermione squealed.
"That was so funny." Raid said once they had calmed down. "I feel really bad just leaving them like that, but it was very funny. I'll tell them about Shadow properly later."
"Where did you get him?" Hermione asked as they walked to Arithmacy,
"I found him as a new born when I was walking a woods 4 years ago. His mother had been killed and he was all alone and running away from a hunter. He's very rare. I raised him myself, I conceal his horn, the family I live with think he's a normal horse that I found. I've only recently been able to ride him really. He was too young before. And he's still got some growing to do. This place is ideal for him." Raid said, staring out the window at the Forbidden Forest as they waked down the long corridors to their classroom.
"Wow. A concealing charm. That's very advanced. Especially for use on a Unicorn." Hermione said.
"It took a lot of practice. But comes in very useful. Not just for hiding Unicorn horns." Raid said slyly. "I'll teach you if you like. You can practice on Shadow." Hermione's eyes lit up.
"Really? You would? That would be so amazing." Hermione said excitedly. Hermione gave Raid a hug around the shoulders and then walked in to the Arithmacy class. Raid followed her grinning.
Arithmacy bored Raid. It wasn't that she could actually do the work, because some of it she was finding hard to grasp. But at the moment she would rather be out in the school grounds with Shadow, racing the wind through the forest. She wanted to explore the forest, all of it. She new there was some very dangerous animals in there so she would have to be careful, very careful, since the Forbidden Forest was out of bounds anyway but mainly because of the huge colony of Acromantula that lived there. Raid wasn't sacred of spiders, but knowing there were spiders as big as a bus in there didn't exactly make her feel great. Raid gave an involuntary shudder at the thought of a spider as big as a bus. Hermione looked at her and raised an eyebrow with a smile on her face. Raid laughed at her and shook her head.
"Just thinking about spiders as big as buses." She whispered to Hermione. Hermione frowned and then laughed quietly.
"I don't even want to know why." She laughed.
After the lesson they walked to the Defence Against the Dark Arts classroom, slowly.
"I hope you like writing." Hermione warned Raid. "That's all we ever do in this lesson."
"You don't do anything practical at all?" Raid asked, shocked.
"Most certainly not." A voice came from behind them. "There is no need to tutor you in the practical uses of Defence Against the Dark Arts."
Raid turned around to find herself looking at the large woman with the toad like face she had met the evening before. Professor Umbridge didn't look very pleased to see Raid in her class.
"I see you found your robes then, Miss Minorita." She said icily.
Raid looked down at her robes and pretended to look shocked.
"Oh my, would you look at that, there they are. Sneaky little things." Raid said in mock sincerity.
Hermione and the other students around tried to stifle laughs. Professor Umbridge glared at them. The class filed in to the classroom and stood behind their desks. Raid took an empty seat nest to Harry. He and Ron had just joined the class from their Divinitation lesson. He stood and scowled at Professor Umbridge and rubbed the back of his right hand.
"Good Afternoon class." Professor Umbridge said cheerily, smiling, which in Raids opinion made her look more ugly.
Raid said nothing, but the rest of the class droned.
"Good Afternoon Professor Umbridge." There were a few more scowls other than Harry's directed at her now.
"Sit down class, today I would like you to read and copy chapter 3 of your textbooks, thank you" Professor Umbridge said and sat down behind her desk, taking out a lurid yellow quill and some parchment.
Raid raised her hand.
"Yes Miss Minorita? Is there some problem with the task I have set?" Professor Umbridge asked Raid.
"What use is theory of Defence Against the Dark Arts?" Raid asked. "Surely it can not help us if we were to be attacked."
Professor Umbridge smiled at Raid as if she were a two year old.
"It is very unlikely you will ever have need of the spells, it is very rare that witches and wizard will get attacked."
"But.." Raid began.
"There is no 'buts' Miss Minorita. I have already had this conversation with Mr Potter next to you. Now do your work." She then turned back to her piece of parchment on her desk and began to write.
Raid however did not. She did not get out a quill, parchment or her textbook. She sat glaring at the fat woman at the desk at the front of the class. Raid knew a lot about what was really happening in the Wizarding world. She knew a lot about the resistance and of Voldemort and his movement and followers. She was kept informed by a man who was a distant blood relation, someone she called a cousin. And in return she collected her own information and gave it to him. Raid sat and thought of her cousin and where he was at the moment. She wished she could help him. But it was out of the question she couldn't endanger him.
"Miss Minorita! Why are you not writing? Why in fact have you not even got your textbook out?" Professor Umbridge shrieked.
Raid was snapped out of her thoughts by this. She rested her dark eyes on the professor and saw her flinch.
"Because Professor, I studied this book in great depth when I was six." She said smoothly.
She saw rage course through Professor Umbridge and enjoyed the look of mixed shock and anger playing across the teacher face.
"Just because you are the." Professor Umbridge began to say, but stopped herself and her gazed flicked around the class as if she had just said something wrong. She began again, "I will not be spoken to like that, get out of my class and do not come back!" She said the last few words being shouted.
"With pleasure." Raid said grinning evilly at the Professor. Then picking up her back she murmured to Harry, Ron and Hermione.
"She you at dinner."
And with that she strode out of the classroom smiling.
*ok there you go. What do you think? Any pointers would be appreciated. R&R*
