Loathing
Loathing, unadulterated loathing...for yourface... your voice... your clothing...Let's just say-- Iloathe it all!Ev'rylittle trait, however small makes myvery flesh begin to crawl with simple utter loathing!
FROM: Wicked (The Broadway Show)
"So are you ready to deal with Rhonda yet?" Andrea said as they got into a carriage.
BV smiled, "Yeah, but why exactly is she mad at me asides from the fact I walked in on her singing?"
"Well…" Cho said awkwardly, "Rumor has it….." Cho drifted off.
"What is it now? Cho? Andrea?" BV asked concerned that no one was answering her.
Andrea spoke first, "Well "supposedly" you slept with her boyfriend."
"WHAT!" BV shouted, "That is the most idiotic, ludicrous idea I have heard in all my life! Rhonda must be totally brainless and completely thick if for a second she actually thinks that happened!"
"Is that so?" A voice said behind her.
"Yeah, it is Rhonda." BV snarled as she turned to face Rhonda's wrath.
Rhonda glared, "Next time find me and be brave enough to insult me to my face."
"Fine, now listen up, Rhon! If you think for one second that I slept with that loser, you call your boyfriend, you are sorely mistaken. And I for one, can not believe someone who is supposedly intelligent and has a brain in her head would think that. But hey I can't make you believe me! So if not, don't. But any one with some common sense would see that I'm not sleeping with anyone!" BV snapped as she stormed into the Great Hall and sat down at the Ravenclaw Table. The other three Ravenclaw girls followed her at quietly sat down.
Rhonda leaned over, "Hey, BV, I'm sorry, your right, you're my friend and I should have been able to trust you rather than rumors!"
"Yeah, whatever." BV snarled as she crossed her arms and legs as Dumbledore stood up.
"Welcome back everyone, I hope you all had a wonderful holiday celebration as did I. Things will be different this new semester. But stranger things have happened. First I say...we have a new student joining us at Hogwarts; she's just transferred from Santa Barbara Academy in California. I'd like you all to welcome Ms. Rachel Rivers."
"Did he say Rachel Rivers?" BV gasped. "No, not here not now!" The doors opened and surely enough BV's worst nightmare walked right through them!
"Hey!" Rhonda hissed, "Isn't that stupid's girlfriend that kept calling you a half breed and you told her to remind you latter?"
"Yeah." BV sighed watching Rachel walking to the front where there was an old hat sitting on a stool.
"She looks like a surfer!" Andrea said looking her over with utter disgust. "She's a dumb surfer Blondie wanna be who puts intelligent blondes like me to shame!" Andrea spat quietly.
Professor Mc Gonagall got up and walked down to her, she began to reach for the hat when it sung out:
"You've arrived later that we'd hoped before, I know I shouldn't say, but this bit should be told, The Quidditch Queen is here, you'll see! And her King not far behind. When the forest meets the water, great things will come to be, But the love between two opposites will conquer what elements can't." The hat sang out loud.
"What's that suppose to mean?" Cho asked, "That's the weirdest song I've heard that crazy hat sing yet!"
"Mc Gonagall thinks so too!" Rhonda said looking up at Mc Gonagall who looked annoyed, but more confused than anything.
"Quidditch Queen? Oh come off it!" BV scoffed.
"Wait..." Andrea said but was interrupted by Professor Mc Gonagall
"Rachel Rivers," she said removing the hat from the stool and motioning for her to sit.
Rachel sat there as BV could not believe her eyes, "Anywhere but Ravenclaw!" BV whispered wishing with all her heart.
"Ah, a Queen that follows her King. All right then, GRYFFINDOR!" The Sorting Hat called out. Rachel got up walked towards the table and the tables except for Slytherin clapped. BV avoided doing so as a protest.
Dumbledore, who applauded at her sorting, again stood up and began to speak again, "Now that that has been completed, now let me introduce a substitute professor."
"Substitute?" Rhonda asked in a whisper.
"Wait!" Cho said, "Where's Madam Hooch?"
"Since Madam Hooch is on leave for the time being, I would like to introduce you to the current flying instructor, Professor Wood," Dumbledore said raising his hand towards the door.
"OH GOD!" Andrea sighed as a group of girls at Ravenclaw table gasped. "Not this idiot again! What didn't have enough girls the first time?" Cho smiled and Rhonda and BV laughed.
The doors opened, and Oliver Wood walked in confidently. BV looked the tall Scottish boy over. He was tall with dark brown hair and she was willing to bet he had an awesome accent. While walking past the four, he smiled widely at his old school mates, and winked at Rachel. The Ravenclaw girls rolled their eyes in disgust.
"He's found a new toy," Rhonda said bemused at her own comment.
Oliver took his seat at the Professor's table and Dumbledore announced loudly, "And there is one more matter to address, that this weekend will be a Hogsmeade weekend, so please sign up in your common rooms this evening and enjoy yourselves. Now let the feast begin!"
"This so messed up." BV said upset, "I don't want her here! I was getting it right, and finally admitting I wasn't always right, but this. Come on, cut me a freaking break!" She sighed into her hands. Andrea wrapped an arm around BV's shoulder reassuring her it'll be okay.
"...And besides," Andrea stated, "even though you two are the same age your in different years still! No classes, and as long as she doesn't find out you're here you're alright."
"No," BV whispered, "I want her to find out I'm here, cuz when she does, I'll make it the personal hell for her, like she so kindly has done for me." BV said as she got up and stormed out of the great hall with an absence of her appetite.
LATER IN THE RAVENCLAW DORMS
"Yeah, Rachel is definitely Oliver Wood's new toy." Rhonda said as she entered the dormitory seeing BV laying on her bed reading a book. "And Dumbledore is totally pushing the matter!" BV looked up and raised an eyebrow.
"Seriously!" Cho exclaimed then mocking Dumbledore, "Professor Wood!" Cho stopped in a mock pause, "Would you mind escorting Ms. Rivers to the Gryffindor dormitories seeing as it is her first time here!" Cho rolled her eyes, "Let the stupid SBA chick get lost!"
BV sat up and smiled, "Cho you have no idea how true that last statement was! SBA is known for it's lack of intelligent students! Last smart one I met was Abby Ecardio of Pride house when she was over for the Quidditch Wars."
"Yeah I see what you mean!" Andrea said, "The whole Quidditch Queen thing? Is that some sort of prophecy to link her with Harry?"
"LET'S HOPE SO!" BV said her eyes nice and bright.
"BV!" Cho bickered, "Harry and you were made for each other!"
"Weasley is our King." Rhonda said aloud.
"Oh not even funny!" Andrea groaned she explained, "Last year everyone was calling Ron Weasley, Potter's red headed friend, King. I seriously don't see him and Rachel hooking up soon!"
"Yeah but Weasley had his own song! I think Rachel should have her own song too!" Rhonda said smirking.
"You are so cruel!" BV smiled back, "But isn't Weasley their keeper? Rachel is a chaser!"
Cho said, "Yeah, so all the more reason for it to work out! But the song could start something like:
There's a Gryffindor chaser,
with her non-existent talent,
that should go back to the States
so we never have to sing:
BV picked up on the idea and began to sing:
Rivers is our queen
The most annoying …umm… teen!
She thinks she's hot!
But she's really not!
Rivers is our Queen!
Rhonda who was laughing pretty badly and was cracking up, continued the medley:
Rivers is our Queen
She really isn't…
"GUYS I NEED A WORD THAT RHYMES WITH QUEEN!"
"CLEAN!" Cho shouted
Rhonda sang:
Clean!
She think she's hot!
We know she's not!
THAT'S WHY RAVENCLAW SINGS!
Rivers is our Queen!
"We need something, like an American folk song!" Andrea suggested.
"You guys ever hear of "Old Susanna" ?" BV asked with a malicious grin on her face.
Rhonda raised an eyebrow, "No but you have and idea for it?"
"Give me one more minute!" BV said smiling and then began to think. She continued with the melody of "Old Susanna":
Oh she came from California with quaffle on her knee!
She came to steal the golden boy from my good friend Cho and me!
OH SWEET CHO!
Don't cry for Harry P!
Don't worry that, you'll get him back
Just as soon as Rivers leaves!
Rhonda busted into laughter, "And of course we need some Christmas cheer! She's coming here right after Christmas!" She stated:
A Little bit of Christmas Cheer!
Cho chirped, "Rudolph the Red nose reindeer!" Then she sang:
You know Potter and Weasley and Harris and Stone
Those real ugly beaters I don't know their names!
The room exploded in peels of laughter as Cho continued quite seriously:
BUT do you recall the most famous chaser of all?
Andrea smirked as she took over the song:
Rachel the annoying Chaser
Rhonda echoed, "Chaser!"
Had a very squeaky voice!
Rhonda squeaked like a little mouse!
And if you ever heard it!
"HEARD IT!" Rhonda belted out
You would call her a freak!
Rhonda shrugged her shoulders and squeaked like a mouse again.
BV began to pick up the song again:
All of the Ravenclaw girls
"THAT'S US!" Rhonda shouted
Always laugh and call her names!
Rhonda laughed and sang, "Like a Stupid head!"
We never give Miss Rivers.
"Rivers!"
Any credit that she needs!
(A/N: She wrote this!)
Cho smirked maliciously and sang:
Then one snowy Scotland day,
Oliver came to say.
Rhonda butted in with, "In his boxer shorts!" Cho's eyes glittered even more
Rachel with your voice so high,
won't you ride MY sleigh tonight?
"CHO!" BV screeched as she closed her eyes in mortification. "That is so gross!"
"Nice one!" Rhonda said and Andrea simply laughed.
Rhonda decided to take them home with the ending:
All the girls really hate her
"HATE HER!" BV Cho and Andrea shouted as Marietta entered the room.
As they shouted out with f'ry!
BV screamed, "YOU BITCH!"
Rachel the annoying Chaser!
"CHASE HER!" The other girls screamed after Marietta, who began to run.
You best be of to Cali next!
"Without your Oliver!" BV stated as she slammed the door shut behind Marietta. "And to all a good night!" BV smirked.
"That was like perfect timing for Marietta too!" Cho said grinning.
"And what else is amazing is how fast we are at coming up with that stuff. Like BV that only took you a minute to think up that "Old Susanna" thing." Andrea said with amazement.
"I liked it though." Rhonda said, "Nice remembrance of her native roots!"
"You're too mean!" BV said smiling at Rhonda, "Seriously the only reason, you all hate her is because I hate her!"
"Yeah well she wasn't exactly the most pleasant looking person I've ever seen! And she's all gung ho on Oliver which shows how much brains she's got!" Rhonda said smiling.
Andrea said, "Yeah, but didn't he date Angelina Johnson and she wasn't exactly stupid."
"No, but she had a weak spot for athletic Scottish guys, she told me." Cho said smiling, "And let's face it, he fit's the description!"
"Yeah" All the girls said and with that they all drifted into a dream filled sleep.
NEW SEMESTER AT DURMSTRANG
"So Miss Reinheart, Miss De Lacour is back working at Gringotts again, going to be a lot different isn't it?" Professor Mc Gonagall said looking at BV finishing up a small portion of her Durmstrang Defenses essay. "How are you holding up with the Durmstrang classes?" She asked referring to BV's essay.
"It's tough, I'm not going to deny it but it's okay because some of my classes here aren't all that demanding so I am having no trouble keeping up, but I'm a bit of a procrastinator. Always!" BV said smiling as she put her quill in her bag.
"Not good for a soon to be Professor." Professor Mc Gonagall said smiling.
"What?" BV asked raising her eyebrow.
"Our current professor of Defenses Against the Dark Arts is a substitute. He is a professor's assistant from Beaubaxton. So next year we need a full time professor. And Dumbledore wanted me to extend the offer to you first." She said smiling down at BV.
"Me?" BV asked bewildered.
"How many other Bridgette Viktoria Reinhearts are there in the room?" Professor Mc Gonagall smirked.
"Just me, sorry Professor." BV said blushing, "it's just so hard to believe! Thank you and tell Professor Dumbledore I am ready when he is."
"Wonderful! BV!" Professor Mc Gonagall said smiling down at BV. "Now off to your lesson."
"Thank you, and good bye!" BV said touching the dragon. She appeared at Durmstrang and went into her classroom. She sat down and pressed out her skirt waiting for the pain to come. Fleur was no longer there, it was going to be a long class.
