A couple of weeks later, Draco had sent a letter to Hermione with his concerns about Raina. Then, Hermione had a reply sent to him.
Draco,
I am worried just as much as you are. This boy may be Pansy's son but he is Harry's as well. Maybe there is a good soul in him. I know what you're thinking Draco. He's in Slytherin, why am I defending him. But I'm sure if he has spent any time with Harry, I'm sure there must be some kind of goodness. And one more thing...RAINA IS IN SLYTHERIN?
Hermione
Later that day at dinner, Professor McGonagall stood up and calmed down the school. "Now students, quite down. As some of you may know that starting this October, other wizarding schools, Durmstrang and Beauxbatons will be returning to Hogwarts for a very special event." Raina suddenly felt sick to her stomach. "I am expecting that every single one of you will control yourselves and be on your best behaviors." McGonagall finished her announcement and sat down. The hall buzzed with whispers and excitement
"Told you" Marshall said. Raina looked at her plate. She didn't want to see another silk, blue uniform again. She was forced to wear it for years when she attended Beauxbatons. A couple of Gryffindors passed the Slytherin table. They glared at every Slytherin sitting. Their glares grew when they landed on Raina. "Oi, move along. Nothin' to see here!" Marshall spat at the Gryffindors. They did just that and Raina looked over at the staff table.
Her father looked worried. His fork wandered his plate but didn't pick up any food. He must have felt her looking at him because he picked his head up and looked at Raina. He smiled and gave her a quick wink, indicating he was fine. Raina looked back on her plate and stuck her fork into her potatoes but did not remove it. "You OK Ray?" Marshall asked. Not looking at him, Raina nodded. "It would be totally awesome if we could enter the Triwizard Tournament" Ariana said suddenly to Marshall. Raina opened her mouth to say something but Marshall took the words right out of her mouth.
"My dad said you can't enter unless your 17 or older." "I was gonna say that" Raina mumbled. She put her fork down and looked over at Marshall. He was talking to his friends Tyler and Julian. He laughed at a joke Tyler made and Raina suddenly realized how much he looked like Harry. His black hair and green eyes. Raina had known her other godfather, Harry Potter, was handsome but Marshall gave the word "handsome" a new meaning. She was surprised she had just realized this. She was taken out of her trance when Ariana spoke to her.
"Hey, your dad is the Potions professor right?" Raina looked at her and nodded. "Do ya think you can get me out of an essay? I've been busy...you know?" Raina ignored her. 'Yea right.' she thought. She looked over at the staff table again and noticed Draco was no longer there. She stood up and told Marshall she wasn't hungry. She walked down to the Slytherin corridor and passed the Potions classroom. She peaked inside and saw Draco sitting at his desk. He was reading something that made him laugh. "Err...dad?" Raina said lightly.
Draco looked up at her. Raina entered the classroom and went over to his desk. Looking over his shoulder, she saw the reply letter Hermione had sent to him. "Is mum talking about Marshall? You have worries about him? You don't think he's a good person?" Draco looked at Raina as if he was to say What-The-Fuck? Then, when he was able to put enough thoughts out of his head he said, "What's with the interrogation I'm just discussing something with your mother. I do believe Marshall is a good person as well, since you asked." Raina bit her lip, feeling foolish that she had just questioned her father like that.
"Sorry dad. Well, I guess I'll go. I just wanted to see you. So...see you in the morning." Draco looked at Raina in a way that worried her. He nodded his head slowly. "OK. See you in the morning sweetheart." Raina rushed out of the classroom and went to the common room. Marshall was sitting on the couch with Tylor and Julian, smirking and laughing. A trait of Pansy's. Julian nudged Marshall and gestured his head toward Raina. Marshall looked at her and smirked. "Wassup?" Raina shook her head and walked passed the couch of boys.
Tyler and Julian started whispering to Marshall at the same time. "Oh and Marsh?" Raina asked, before she started up the stairs to the girls' room. "Yea?" said Marshall, looking up at her. She narrowed her eyes as is she was thinking of what to say next. "Never mind" she stated. She started up the stairs, leaving the common room with Tyler, Julian and Marshall the only ones left.
September passed by and October came. The school was getting more and more excited as each day came and passed.
The mixture of Slytherins, Gryffindors and Ravenclaws was outside for Care of Magical Creatures. In the forest, Marshall, Tyler, Julian, Ariana and Raina all stayed in the back of the class. "So Marshall, you know how for every Triwizard Tournament, there is a Yule Ball right?" Ariana asked. Marshall looked at her from the corner of his eye. "Yea. So?" Ariana batted her eyelashes and came closer to Marshall. "So...I was wondering who were you going to ask."
Marshall rolled his eyes. "Oh come on Ariana. The Yule Ball isn't until like, December!" Raina laughed. Ariana frowned at her. "Why are you laughing? I don't see you asking him." she snapped. "Well I don't care for going with anyone. I just care about looking good when I get there. DUH!" she retorted. Ariana looked in another direction. "You just say that because you know you wouldn't be able to get a date" Ariana said. Raina pushed passed Julian and Tyler. "Excuse me?" she yelled.
"Hey! Quiet back there" Hagrid said, and he continued on with his lesson. "The schools are coming this month" Ariana said in a hushed voice. "Are you going to be ready?" Raina narrowed her eyes at her and huffed. Ariana gave a triumphant look and glanced over at Marshall. He didn't look too happy. Ariana frowned and threw her apple at a Gryffindor up front. By Potions, the class was sitting in their groups, doing the assignment Draco had put up on the board. Raina worked silently with her partner that was in Gryffindor. She had learned to be nice to Gryffindors since Hermione had been one herself.
Draco was walking around the room, inspecting each cauldron. Some he had looks of disappointment and others he had looks of a job-well-done. He came over to Raina's cauldron. "How are you two going?" he asked, looking at the Gryffindor and Raina. "We're basically done. We checked off all the instructions so...we're..."stammered the Gryffindor. "We're done professor" Raina finished. She had looked at her father. She was happy he was there. Even if he was the teacher, he always looked like her father in Raina's eyes.
"Good job ladies" Draco said. He walked passed and his grey eyes left their cauldron onto another. "Is it scary?" asked the Gryffindor girl. Raina looked at her confused. "What?" she asked. The Gryffindor checked that Draco was out of earshot. "Is it scary having to live with Professor Malfoy?" clarified the girl. Raina laughed and shook her head. She didn't even bother to answer the question asked.
By lunch, the mail owls and the students' personal owls flew into the school and dropped off the mail. A white snowy owl flew in and landed in front of Marshall. "Hey, is that Hedwig? My mother told me that Harry had a snowy owl named Hedwig." Raina said, looking astonished at the beautiful owl.
Marshall looked at the owl and back at Raina. He shook his head. "No. Unfortunately, I couldn't have Hedwig. But father did buy me an owl that did look like Hegwig. This is Kimora." he explained. Raina nodded her head and looked up to the ceiling. She saw a familiar grey and black owl fly down toward her. It landed in front of her and dropped The Daily Prophet and a small box. Raina pet the owl lightly. It hooted and took flight once more.
"What did you get?" Marshall asked, looking down at the letter his mother and father sent to him. Raina opened the newspaper properly and looked at the front page. The article that Hermione had worked on still had the same title the original Rita Skeeter had given it: Me, Myself and I. Me, Myself and I was on page two. "Why did you get The Prophet?" Marshall asked, looking over at the newspaper.
"My mum works on a section in it and she sends me the paper when she thinks she wrote a pretty good article." Marshall nodded as he took a bite out of his chicken sandwich. Raina looked at the newspaper and at the box that came with it. Thinking of what to look at first, Raina chose the newspaper. She believed that the longer she waited until she opened it, the more surprised she would be when she did. Opening the newspaper, she read what her mother had wrote:
Me, Myself and I
Delusional Muggle Found Wandering Wizard Streets
We all know that we wizards wander around muggle streets in our normal robe attire but since when to muggles wander around wizard streets in their normal baggy jeans and a t-shirt attire? Well I personally met up with the witch who noticed the muggle first and reported it. She wishes to remain anonymous. She stated that the muggle was walking around Diagon Alley, looking astonished by his surroundings. She wasn't sure how he came up into Diagon Alley but once she realized that the person was a muggle, she reported it right away. She noted that the muggle had blue eyes and was wearing a grey hooded sweater. "I wasn't scared, but confused on how on Earth he had gotten into such a secure place as Diagon Alley" says the witch, "The only way a muggle could've gotten in was through The Leaky Cauldron. But even there, it's only witches and wizards." The witness has also told me that the muggle was asking wizards if he had seen someone he had known. She did not hear the name of the person the muggle was looking for but she knew it was a female he was looking for. For a little humor in this article, some of the editors and writers I work with think that the muggle was looking for me. For I am muggle-born and do have my share of muggle friends but none of my muggle friends even know that I am a witch or even know how to get into the wizarding world. Once the Ministry of Magic found out about the muggle, they immediately erased the muggle's memory of what he had seen and have been safely returned to the muggle world.
Raina closed the paper and laughed. "Hmm...dad told me a crazy, blond woman worked on that section" Marshall stated. Raina nodded, "Rita Skeeter. She used to work for the Prophet but now my mother took her place. She never liked Skeeter so she took her out of business." Marshall mouthed a 'wow'. "But can you believe a muggle got into Diagon Alley?" Raina asked. Marshall raised an eyebrow, "A muggle? No way." Raina nodded. She tapped the article her mother wrote and said, "Mum wrote about it herself."
His eyes widened. "Whoa. Never saw that comin'." Raina smiled. Then she realized, facing Beauxbatons again didn't seem that hard.
The last day of October. At diner, the whole school was in a buzz and was completely excited. The Halloween feast was taking place and there was something large hidden from the sheet covering it. McGonagall tapped on her glass and silenced the school. "Well, as I have announced before earlier this year, Hogwarts will not only be your home with year. Fellow wizarding schools have arrived for the Triwizard Tournament. Three students will be chosen to represent their school and the winner will receive eternal glory. Now, help me give a Hogwarts welcome to the lovely ladies of Beauxbatons Academy."
Then the great oak doors opened suddenly opened and Raina suddenly became sick to her stomach. A group of girls strutted through the Hall in their silk blue uniforms, having the male population of the school goggle at them with an immense amount of interest. Some girls saw Raina. One girl with red hair nudged a girl with blond hair and pointed at Raina. They began to whisper.
Raina moaned and put her head on the table. Her mane of curly brown hair scattered over the wood table. "Now that Beauxbatons were introduced, please welcome the proud sons of Durmstrang." Then, a large group of older teenage boys came through the doors. All wearing dark shades of brown and burgundy. It scared some of the first years. Now it was the girls' turn to goggle. All of the Durmstrang boys were well built and had a mysterious look on their faces.
"Ooh, look at that one Raina. He is ffiinnee." said Natasha, one of Raina's friends. But at that moment, Raina really didn't care. (A/n: if you read the fourth book, i shouldn't have to go through the whole goblet of fire stuff. Plz, it's a lot of stuff to be said. So lets just skip through the whole talking thing)
The school was excited for being able to witness the Triwizard Tournament in action. And the seventh and some of the sixth years were thrilled because they exceeded the age limit to enter which was the age of 17. Once diner was over, Raina wanted to leave as soon as possible. But alas, her formerly fellow Beauxbatons beat her to the door. "'Ello Raina" said the girl with the red hair that informed the others. Raina gave a nervous smile. "Hello."
The blond girl crossed her arms, "We all wanted to knew why you left ze school." Raina shrugged and put her arms to her hips. "Well girls, its not like you liked me or anything..." The girls looked hurt in some way. "we knew you for years. You vere like a sister to us. Vhen we found out you transferred, we vere hurt terribly." said the blond. Raina looked to her feet, "Well...I didn't know that. I'm sorry." The girls nodded. "Vell, now we know vhere we stand." Then they strutted off. (Srry for the terrible terrible french accent thing!)
Raina gave a long sigh of relieve and ran to the Slytherin common room. By the time she reached the common room she collapsed on the black, leather couch. Marshall, Tyler, Julian and Ariana entered the common room at the same time. They looked at Raina and laughed. "That must've been torture, eh Rain?" Marshall said, laughing. Raina covered her head with a pillow. "I hate those Frenchy Curly Qs!" Raina's yell was muffled by the pillow.
Ariana went over to a table and picked up the nailfile she had left there. She started to file her nails and said, "Oh get over it. By the time someone is picked for their school for the Tournament, they're not even going to remember you." Raina said something but the pillow over her head made it so no one could understand. But if it was at Ariana, everyone knew it was nothing nice. "Wouldn't it be totally cool if we were able to enter the Tournament?" Julian asked, changing the subject without even knowing it.
Raina took the pillow off of her head. Strands of her hair is covering her face, making it look like a brown curtain is over her face. Removing the brown curtain of hair, Raina agreed, "It would be cool. But we have to be 17 years old or older." Julian shrugged, not caring one bit. "I could get an older student put my name in for me if I wanted to." Ariana looked up from her nails. "I'm sure that will...not work. What if your name is called? McGonagall knows your real age. She'll have your head for it. Just look at what happened to Marshall's dad."
Marshall laughed. The subject of Harry Potter was kind of unnerving to him. His father was always famous for being the boy-who-lived. Even to this day, people still say it's an honor to meet him, meeting the 'chosen one'. On the Harry Potter subject, it was always like talking about a famous person, not his dad.
Raina lied back down on her back. Staring at the ceiling, she imagined the year she was going to have. Already knowing that being a contestant was not possible, but thinking about the Yule Ball, and everything else that went along with the Tournament happening was so invigorating. "You know, it's late. I'm going to bed." Raina stood up and left to the girls' dormitory. "Right behind you." Ariana followed. Again, it was only Tyler, Julian and Marshall left.
"Marshall, when are you going to do it?" Julian asked. Marshall looked confused. "Huh?" he asked. "You know. Raina? When are you going to ask her out?" Tyler asked. Marshall shook his head and raised his hands, "No way. Her godfather is my dad. Her dad is our Potions professor, her mum hates my mum and her mum writes for The Daily Prophet." Julian and Tyler looked at each other and then at Marshall, "So?" Marshall shook his and turned his back. He left to the boys' dormitory, leaving a confused and bewildered Julian and Tyler behind.
