Illusen,the earth faerie

Chapter ten

Eartha Green

Eartha sat next to Hermione as she ate.

"So,Eartha, how has it been going," Hermione asked her friend.

"Oh, it's been going great,I was really excited about Hogwarts,Mum and Dad also went to Hogwarts, y'know." Eartha replied as she daintily sipped her pumpkin juice.

Ron choked on his chicken leg, and hermione and Eartha threw him disgusted looks.

"Looks like you've got a clone, Hermione,"Harry joked.

Hermione ignored him and glared at Ron, "I told you not to eat so quickly, it's bad for your digestion."

"Y-You're a Pureblood?"Ron asked, looking from Hermione to Eartha.

"Of course!" Eartha answered, as if it was the most obvious thing.

"Hang on,"Harry interjected,"How come you know Hermione then?She's muggleborn."

"Oh, I know, but we made friends when mum and dad wanted to know how it was like living in a muggle community for a year.I was really surprised when I found out Hermione was a witch, but that meant I could let magical things slip by."

Ron returned to devouring his food eagerly.

"Y'know, Hermione is right,Ron( that's your name right?) you need to eat properly or you might choke."Eartha informed him, tossing her gleaming brown hair over her shoulder.

Ron paused to abruptly say,"You know what?Harry's right. You are Hermione's clone."

The bushy-haired girl frowned at Ron and continued to eat.

"So,How was your summer, Ron?"Hermione asked, changing the subject.

"It was great, we visited my aunt in Sweden."

"OOOh!I learned about Sweden at my muggle school, tulips are famous there, the capital of Sweden is Stockholm, pronounced, stock-home..."

She rattled off facts about Sweden, in a hermione-ish way.

Ron cleared his throat.Eartha blushed and stopped the stream of facts.

"Er, sorry.I'm normally not like this, but i spent alot of time over summer with Hermione so she rubbed off me."Eartha muttered.

"'I'm glad someone got my fact skills, I've been hanging around these dolts for like five years ,and i still haven't rubbed off them!" Hermione half-teased.

"Give it a rest Hermione, just let me tell you about Sweden and i won't go into facts," He glanced at Eartha.

Ron continued telling them about Sweden and talked about-what else!- swedish food.

Soon it was time for them to go to their dormitories, they rose up and started to walk away, with Eartha in tow, when Draco Malfoy and his two lackeys came and started to sneer at them.

"Ah Potter, the chosen one!Weasel King, going to let the quaffle in this year, i bet!And Granger, still got the bush of brown hair?Might as well use it to sweep the floor." Dravo malvelently commented."Well, well,well, you've got a new member four your trio, Eartha Green is it?Mudblood i bet, by the looks of your name?You might as well start calling yourself the Golden Foursome?Eh?"

"Sod off, Malfoy." Harry glared at him.

"Wow, your quite witty, aren't you Mr.Celebrity?" Malfoy taunted.

"Does your mum make you?" Eartha asked quietly and clearly, in a loud voice which made all the students stop.

"Make me do what?"Malfoy asked, caught off-gaurd.

"Does she make you dump a carton of jell in your hair and then stick it to your head so you look bald?"Eartha asked clearly and steadiily.

Sniggers and chuckles erupted in the the corridors and people laughed at how s first year could out wit Malfoy in sixth year."

Malfoy's cheeks flushed a pale pink.

"Why you little girl!I know more spells than your mudblood parents put together!"

Silence rang out as Draco insulted her parents.

"My parents are Purebloods and my dad isn't in Azkaban, nether is my mother,They're not cruel and evil death eaters and understand muggles better than you or any ignorant death eater would know!"Her voice rose and she shouted out the last part angrily.

Malfoy was at a loss of words.

"I-uh-er-hey, you come back here,-I haven't finished with you!" Malfoy shouted for Eartha started to walk away.

She turned around gave him a cold look and answered, "Well, I have."

And she continued walking, the students started walking again and talked in huished whispers, medium tones, or loud voices about what had just happened.

"Wow,"Harry exclaimed, you've got equal wit to hermione."

At that Eartha pinked, and shook her head. "No i learned my wit from hermione.She taught me how to face any annoying slytheryns."

"Well she did well," Ron grinned.

Hermione smiled, "But still, you did great."

They approached the the Fat lady painting and gave the password, "Courage."

"The password's a bit obvious, isn't it?" Harry asked.

"Well yes, maybe they think no one would think of such an abvious password."Hermione replied.Well I'm off to bed, coming Eartha?"

Eartha nodded and bid the boys good bye.

Ron and Harry went into the boys dormitries and greeted Seamus, dean, and Neville.Well fed and watered they promtly fell asleep as pale moon light filtered in through the windows.

So did you like it?I'll update soon, sorry it was short, got a dentist appointment. r/r!
