Chapter Seven
Gossip isn't just an American Thing
Buffy POV:
By dinner time everyone was talking about what happened in Professor Trelawney's Divination class. Everywhere I went I receive even more stares than i used. Whispers follow me everywhere I go and unfortunately do to my super dupper slayer hearing note the sarcasm I can hear every single word being uttered about me behind my back do to the oh so subtle whispers of my fellow students, NOT. Crazy stories are going around about how I'm going to be die by all sorts of dangerous creatures or people.
"Buffy..." Ginny called as she ran to catch up after I had suddenly left the dining hall.
"Oh, sorry Gin it just got to be to much in there ya know..." I responded finally slowing down my pace so that my only friend could walk comfortably beside me on the way to the library where we could talk without having to worry about the stares of our peers.
"Of course its fine." Ginny said after she had finally caught her breath. We entered the library in silence not seeing anyone else there. So we went to our usual spot at the back of the room where no one ever went.
"Buffy...what happened exactly?" asked Ginny wanting to know what all the commotion was about from the only reliable source she had (like Harry, Ron, or Hermione were ever gonna tell her anything.)
"Lets see..." I started with mock consentration like it was hard to remember, "OH YES, the crazy bug lady looked at my palm and started going into a rampage about my impending death, and how my life was a short one."
"Ha, ha, ha. So YOU'RE her new victim. She must of gotten tired of 'predicting' Harry's death. Nothing she says ever turns out as the truth. It's beyond me how she ever got that position in the first place." Ginny laughed making me feel a whole lot better.
"Malfoy" a voice said from behind us, startling us and interrupting our berating of Professor Trelawney's teaching.
Upon turning around I saw that it was none other than THE Harry Potter and his two sidekicks. Ginny had filled me in on everything that had happened at Hogwarts and the wizarding world. Sooo what if he was the 'Boy Who Lived' hell you could call me the 'Girl Who Died.'...not that that's a good thing of course.
"Hiya Harry," Ginny said in a fake cheerful manner that only I seemed to get according to the impassive expressions on Harry, Ron, and Hermione's faces as they stood in front of us.
"Ginny, Malfoy." ron said for the little trio the latter spoken with scorn and hatred.
"HER name's BUFFY," Ginny said from beside me as she stood up to her brother in a somewhat defensive manner that made me kinda proud. Despite her sign of loyalty to me it didn't seem to affect them all that much in stead Ron just whispered 'What kind of a name is Buffy anyway..' underhis breath so only Harry and Hermione could hear it and me too thanks to my excellent hearing ya gotta love the slayer powers sometimes.
"Is there something you guys wanted or is this a social visit?" I asked them finally making my own way into the conversation as I stood up by Ginny bringing all the to me.
"Yes actually..." Hermione began looking uncomfortable with the whole display. She was nice enough if not a little prudish, she was obviously the brains of the operation which kinda made me sad, reminding me of Willow. "Harry and I were hoping to discuss when we should do your tutoring."
"Anytimes good." I said back.
"How about tomorrow after classes..." Hermione suggested stuttering a little giving away her nervousness.
"Sweetness." was my reply making Hermione replace her somewhat nervous attitude to one of confusion and curiousity.
"Sweetness?" she questioned obviously not familiar with my particular phrasing.
"Ya, you know good." I said in a nice manner instead of condescending which seemed to shock them, I am still getting used to the whole speaking difference. The scoobs and I talk alot different than these people, now I understand why we always confused Giles.
"Okay," Hermione said with a pleasant voice instead of the nervous one she usually spoke with.
"Good thats settled then," Ginny said making herself known again. "We'll see you guys later then..." she continued nudging my arm before heading to the door.
"See you tomorrow," I followed Ginny's lead before I too headed for the door.
A/N: I took someone's suggestion and decided to write using point of views. If anyone doesn't like it please tell me which writing style is better. On anoher note I won't be able o update any of my stories all that often cause of school and all, but I'll make sure to get at least one chapter in a week if not more when I don't have alot of homework. REVIEWS are much appreciated. It helps me ya know. And if you want to recommend anything that could happen in the story tell me and I will consider it and use what I like. Thanx...
