My white eyes traveled around the room. They all thought I was blind, every body always did. My eyes were completely white, even my pupils. No one knows why. It has just always been that way. I sighed as I sat down in the small compartment. I was on a train going to my new school. I had been kicked out of my old one.
I slumped in the chair as some one opened the compartment door. They didn't seem to notice me and I wasn't surprised. A group of people entered. They were all wearing robes with green patched on them. I knew this to be the uniform at my new school and the patches meant they were in Slytherin.
I wasn't surprised when they all sat down like no one else was here. I often found myself invisible for some reason. I don't know why it happened but I suspected it was something to do with my eyes, both things were unexplainable. I watched them all and my eye was caught by the one that seemed to lead them all.
His blonde hair was unusual and it seemed to me that it was natural. He sounded pompous when he spoke and I wondered if he was one of the people my mother had explained about. He looked to be as pureblooded as they got.
"Blaise do tell me that you cursed the stupid mud blood for running into you." I nearly laughed but thought it would be better not to make any noises.
"Of course, she won't be speaking for a while." The all laughed and I rolled my eyes though you couldn't tell it. One of the girls, an ugly girl with a pug face, got up and walked toward the blonde haired kid. She was so flirtatious I wanted to throw up.
"Oh Draco you are just so smart." She blinked her eyes slowly and the boy known as Draco seemed disgusted. She was sitting on his lap now.
"Get off me Parkinson." He said and pushed her away. She stumbled and fell onto me as I was sitting on the other side of the compartment and in a corner. She squealed as she collided with my sitting form. Now every body noticed me. I quickly slid on some sunglasses before any of them saw my eyes.
"Who are you? When did you come in?" Asked Blaise. He was now standing and I didn't like the situation. My hand was searching for my wand.
"I have been in here the whole time, I got here before you but you didn't notice and I didn't say anything because I couldn't be bothered." I said and rolled my eyes under the sunglasses.
"That doesn't explain who you are, beside I looked in here and unless you were invisible you can't have been here the whole time." He continued a smirk sliding onto his face. I saw the others were also smirking.
"I am no one and as far as I know I may very well have been invisible." He looked confused as I sat there. I drew one of my legs up to my body and rested my chin on my knee. I was comfortable and would not move.
"Who are you? I have never seen you before and I make a point to know all the possible shags at this school." Said a pompous Draco.
"Well that would be why you don't know me then, I aint into animal love, especially not ferrets." I don't know why I said that it just slipped from my mouth; I was always in trouble for my mouth. He turned red and stood taking a step toward me.
"Why you little, do you know who I am?" He sounded very angry and I noticed that two other boys had stood up and by the looks of them I guessed they were his body guards. I laughed.
"No and if I did I would probably have used it against you." I was still laughing when Blaise stepped forward and snatched at my sunglasses. I grabbed his hand and held it there. He was strong but I threw his hand back at him. "Leave me glasses alone." My voice now void of any humor.
"It is disrespectful now take them off or we hold you down and take them off." Blaise was smirking so much and I knew he meant it.
"You touch or attempt to touch me or anything of mine again and you will regret it." I was angry and then the Slytherins laughed.
"What are you going to do, scream and hope some one hears you between the curses we send at you?" They were cocky and that was worse than if they had been scared. Cocky could cause a real fight, scared would cause a small accident.
"Accio glasses." Said the pug faced girl and as they went flying away from my face I looked down. I didn't want them to see. I wouldn't have to wear them all year because the headmaster had gotten me contacts, all I had to do was get through this with no one noticing and then I was just another person in the crowd.
I growled at her and it sounded so much like an animal that even I for a second thought there might have been one in here. I closed my eyes and lunged toward he squeal of fright at the inhuman sound that had escaped my throat. I heard her fall to the ground in fear as I lunged at her.
I heard the familiar sound of breaking glass and bending metal. I grabbed her forearm and threw her off the ground and crouched down to where I knew my glasses to be. I was low enough I knew none of them would see when I opened my eyes to look at the remains of my glasses. I sighed as I realized I couldn't ever perform illegal magic because my wand was in my trunk.
I could do some magic wand less but not something I needed to keep up like glamour. I sighed again and stood my eyes again closed. I moved back to my seat and sat down with my legs pulled up to my chest. I rested my forehead on my knees. I hadn't noticed the Slytherins laughing but I did now.
"What are you blind or something? Did you have your eyes poked out and no you hide behind those glasses?" One of them sniggered and I didn't bother knowing which one. I stood up my eyes now open as I heard them all gasp.
"I aint blind and I have eyes but as you can see most people are intimidated by a person with no irises or pupils." I was furious and it all came out as a snarl. I looked down at them all sitting on the other side of the compartment. I sat down again and placed my head on my knees. The rest of the trip was silent and eventually I got up deciding to leave.
I left my backpack on my seat but without using a wand, gesture or spell warded it so no one other than myself or those I considered family could open it. I opened the door and began to walk down the corridor. I had no idea where I was going but when I reached the end of the train I turned around and went back to the compartment.
I was just outside it and I heard they were talking. I was standing in the doorway but I figured this was one of the times I was invisible. I listened as they speculated about what I was. None of them thought me human and I noticed no one thought of what I really was. They all assumed me to be some kind of werewolf or something.
"I reckon she is a banshee. Bet you that fool Dumbledore let her in." Said one of them and I snorted. They all turned to see me there.
"Not even close." I said as I went to sit back down. I now felt in a much better mood and I couldn't help but think that a walk always helped.
"Well then speaking of the devil, care to explain just who and what you are." He was closer than he thought.
"Well I am not the devil but you are close. I am part demon, however that has nothing to do with my eyes or the fact I am sometimes invisible. My species looks identical to humans in every way, hence the trick of how my father was tricked into marrying my mother. I am also part vela." I explained and afterward wondered why I had told them. They all looked shocked and the girls looked scared.
The three girls all seemed to be squashing themselves along one of the boys. They reminded me of the one time I had agreed to baby sit and the children had been misbehaving so I had showed them my eyes and scared them shitless. These people could not possibly be sixteen and still acting like this.
The train pulled to a stop and I looked around for my bag. It was no where and if I had had pupils they would have been wide. I spun around to glare at the Slytherins but as I had been searching they had all left. I searched the compartment top to bottom within a few minuets then ran out of it and off the train.
I pushed through people and ran toward what I assumed to e the way they had gone. I was running so fast until I ran into something very solid. I fell back to the ground and quickly closed my eyes. I had looked no one in the eyes while running and was sure no one had notice. I quickly glanced at the boy I had ran into. He had black messy hair and green eyes. I looked down again and got up. I nodded my head is apology then continued running.
I reached a group of carriages and swore. I would never et them before going to the hall now. I already had to meet the headmaster before it and get my contacts. II would have no time. Instead of boarding one of the carriages I undid one of the two Thestrals tied to it. I mounted and commanded it to fly to the castle. I got there in half the time and as soon as I was there I dismounted and ran toward the castle.
I ran up the steps and through he front doors. I knew had no idea where the headmaster's office was. I stopped and placed my head in my hands. I leant against a wall and slowly slid down it. I had my head in my hands and had I not I would have noticed the man looking down at me.
"I assume you are Miss Soulless?" I looked up at the man. He took a step back when he saw my eyes. His face was surprised and i looked down again. I sighed and pushed myself to my feet.
"Yes, you wouldn't happen to have any sunglasses would you? Mine were broken by a bunch of gits." I asked and he just shook his head.
"This way to Dumbledore's office." He said and turned to lead me away. I followed him and ignored the looks I was getting form the portraits. We arrived there and the professor said the password. He stood there as I stared around absentmindedly. He cleared his throat and I noticed that the entrance was open. I tipped my head to him and proceeded up the stars.
I knocked on the door and it opened of its own accord. I went in slowly staring around at my new surroundings. The room was beautifully decorated and I couldn't help but stare. As my white eyes searched the room a man chuckled. My eyes, though unnoticeable, snapped to him. I assumed him to be the headmaster.
"Please sit miss?" He was asking my name and I sat down wondering how he did know. My previous headmaster had sent him my file.
"Brietta Tristram Lann sir." I said politely and tried to ignore the way his normal eyes glittered. It was so annoying how he seemed so stupid with the glinting eyes.
"Ah yes Miss Lann. It is a pleasure to have you here; I believe you will be in the sixth grade yes?" He asked me another question and I couldn't help but think that maybe the Slytherins had been right. I nodded and he smiled again. "I thought we would sort you with the first years just because the hat is already down there. I have your magic contacts here for you." He opened a draw from the desk he was sitting at.
He pulled out a strange case. He passed it to me and I opened the square thing. Inside it were small see through circles. I had worn contacts before but not ones like this. I placed my finger on top of one and slowly moved it toward my eye. I placed it there and blinked. I knew they were meant to change color so my eyes were the color of my mothers or fathers. I watched expecting things to change but nothing did. The headmaster sighed. I rolled my eyes.
"It seems that the contact doesn't work. Try the other one before we dismiss this." I did as he said to the same result. "Well it seems we will have to do something else to hide your eyes. I doubt you have told any one? I suppose you can just wear those sunglasses you have." The reason I had been wearing them is because as long as I have them on my person and they are not broken I can do a glamour spell easily without draining my magic. That is the reason I cannot cast a repairing spell on them, because it would destroy the magic and make them useless.
"Um, yes sir." I figured I would just have to wear them constantly. I doubted any one would notice and I would keep my wand at me at all times for if I lost them and I had to do glamour.
"Very well then, do you not have them with you at the moment?" He asked and I wanted to lie but thought it unwise.
"No they are not with me at the moment. I met some people on the train and they have my bag." I said it like they were my friends but didn't lie.
"Very well would you like to walk with me to the great hall? You might get lost otherwise." I nodded and smiled falsely but again he bought my lie. We walked out of there and arrived in a place where a large group of children where. II had already cast my glamour and smiled at them kindly. Dumbledore left me there and I stood away from the children and wondered how I was to be sorted.
The kids talked as I thought of what to do. I would need to find something to help. If I were at home I would simply go see Hannibal. We often joked about his name but he was the most brilliant wizard I had ever met. He had made me the glasses and was always coming up with things I could do to hide my strange eyes.
"Please follow me when I call you name sit on the seat." II woman was saying and I followed the small ones inside the hall. We did line up and I was at the very end. I waited as various names were called out. "Lann, Brietta." She said and I walked forward. I sat on the stool and heard the mush whispering. I was starting to get a head ache from the magic I was doing wandlessly.
"Well you are a bloodline I haven't seen for a while. Changed the name though, I would too if I was you." The voice spoke in my head and I had at first been prepared to rip the hat to shreds. "Oh no need to be violent, I'm just going to sort you. You couldn't be Adima's daughter could you? Yes you are, well that explains a lot, couldn't place her either, she ended up in Ravenclaw because she was smart enough to know that Slytherins are evil." I snarled in my head when he said that. My father had been in Slytherin and I liked him far better than my mother.
"Listen hat." I snarled in my head. "You are just as biased as the rest of the world. The Slytherins simply know how to stay alive and are willing to do so. Unlike the wimps who cling to there morals and crap as an excuse for not trying anything." The hat said nothing and it seemed surprised
"I know now were you belong." The hat sounded shaky. "Slytherin." It said quieter hat he had been before. I threw the hat to the professor and stalked t the applauding table covered in green.I sat at the end away from all the people my age. I looked down the table and saw the others I had already met. The six of them were smirking and I got up.
I walked toward them and saw the two girls widen their eyes. The looked to the boys who, all but for Blaise and Draco, also looked partly frightened. I stopped in front of them and smiled.
"Excuse me but may I have my bag, than you for looking after it for me, Dumbledore was very pleased when I told him I had already made some friends." The smirks were wiped off their faces as I smiled sweetly. Draco scowled and handed me my bag. I noticed that one of the zips was undone.
"Draco make her go away, she is getting Muggle germs all over me." Pug face said and I laughed. She assumed me to be a Muggle.
"I aint a Muggle born, I am more pure then you so I think it would be wise for you to shut that dog face of yours." She turned red as I laughed at her. Some of the people on the table behind me laughed to and I turned around where I was standing to glare at the red table. I knew them to be Gryffindors. "How did you get my bag open?" I said turning back to Draco?
"What do you mean? You didn't ward it." He said an eyebrow raised. I glared at him. He was smirking again.
"You know very well it was, only me or my family could open it." I snapped at him and I felt my temper rising.
"Well then you must be related to her." He was pointing to the other girl who had been on the train. She had brown hair that was just slightly lighter than my black hair. She had brown eyes and I remembered so did my mother. She looked a lot like my mother and I wondered if she could be a relative.
"What is you last name?" I asked not caring about her first name. She looked confused as if she couldn't imagine being associated to me.
"Bris." She said with a horrible look on her face.
"Oh, yes then you are my..." I thought for a second. "Seventh cousin, congratulation, I will just have to use different wards, now if anything is missing you shall regret it, the fact you opened it says that I cannot trust you and it also says you are my kind of person." My head began to spin as I felt my magic wavering. Glamour always took a lot out of me especially when I had to do it this much and to this extent. I had to exactly replicate my mother's eyes and had to have a constant view of them in my head or else it wouldn't work.
I took a step back as I felt the familiar splitting of my head. I knocked into a group behind me and I turned to apologize. I looked into my bag and pulled out some sun glasses. I put them on and let down the glamour.
"You are probably the people I would trust most in this place and so I am less likely to pummel you for doing stuff but to do think that means I won't kill you if you have taken my stuff." I turned and walked out of the hall. I searched until I found a girls bathroom. II walk calmly in and toward the back of the place. I lean against a wall as I slide down it downward the cold tile.
I ended up lying on the floor my head pressed against the cold surface. The cold soothed my head and made the pain almost gone. After a few minuets I got up and walked toward the mirror. I stared into my eyes, how would I look with normal eyes?
"I wonder what was going on with the new girl that was sorted into Slytherin. I mean she bumped right into Harry and Ron." The girl was saying as she entered the bathroom. My head snapped around looking for my glasses. I saw them and was about to dive for them when some one tapped me on the shoulder.
"Hi, I'm Hermione, you're the new girl aren't you?" I had no energy left for glamour and I couldn't ignore her. I was surprised she hadn't seen my reflection yet.
"Yeah, nice to meet you. Could you pass me my sunglasses, I dropped them." I said to the other girl without looking at either of them. The other one who had not introduced herself passed them to me and I put them on. I turned to face them both smiling. "I'm Brietta, Brietta Lann." I held out my hand and they both shook it.
"I'm Ginny." Said the other girl. I smiled wider. "If you were crying you don't have to wear those sunglasses, it is okay we won't tease you." She thought I had been crying, how silly.
"I wasn't crying I just have really sensitive yes is all, part of my vampire blood." That wasn't a lie either, it just wasn't the whole truth.
"Vampire blood?!" Hermione squeaked and I figured I wouldn't have to talk to either of them after this.
"Yeah but don't worry just a little but." I was grinning and she took a step back. "What leaving so soon, but I was just getting hungry." I knew I was looking scary with my mouth half up. They both turned and ran out when I hissed at them. II laughed and was still chuckling when I left the bathroom.
I walked back to the hall and back toward the Slytherin table now getting funny looks from all over the place. Still chuckling I sat at the end of the table and, just to test my theory, I grabbed a large piece of meat and ripped into it. I heard many gasps and had to hold my hand over my mouth so as to keep the food in as I laughed.
I caught a few glares as ii continued to eat other food. I didn't touch my meat again and could tell I wouldn't be hassled by any first years any more.
"Attention." The head master was standing. "II would like to say a few more things before you all go to sleep. The forbidden forest is forbidden, hence the name. The ever growing list of unacceptable items is hanging in filches office. Also we have a new student from Yevgeni School of magic in Russia." Many whispers were heard now because it was common knowledge that was an elite dark magic school. "I hope you will all welcome her and please do not hassle her about anything, she will tell you what she will and you need know nothing more."
Stupid man, he should have kept his mouth shut I could have handled it. Why does every one always think they need to speak for me? I thought to myself as I scowled. Whenever some one was told not to ask they did.
"Now off to bed, you will need to be well rested for your classes tomorrow." He finished with a twinkling eye. I rolled my eyes. I stood up along with the rest of the hall.
"Gryffindors this way." Said some one whom I assumed to be a prefect.
"Ravenclaws." Called another. I even heard a far off Hufflepuff call.
"Slytherins follow me." A girl said and I looked up to see it was my cousin, Bris. I walked toward the large group that was clad in green and now leaving the hall. We were going down to where I presumed the dungeons were.
"Hey, I don't believe we were properly introduced, I'm Blaise Zambini." It was the boy from the train and he was holding out his hand. II raised and eyebrow and he pulled his hand back. "What did you do to the mud blood and weasel girl?" He asked and I assumed he must have meant Hermione and Ginny.
"Nothing, why what did they say I did?" I wanted to know what rumors I would have to squash or whether I might want to spread some.
"Well they ran into the hall both crying and ran to their boyfriend, potter and weasel king. They were hysteric, kept screaming that you were a vampire and that you wanted to eat them, funniest thing I seen all day." He was smirking the Slytherin smirk and I closed my eyes.
"I am not a vampire, just part vampire, bloody girls, always over do things." I grumbled as I thought about whether or not I could work this to my advantage. "Slytherin is the 'evil' house here isn't it?" I asked.
"Yes, we are the evil Slytherin scum who, much to my dismay, were winning the house cup every year until Potter came. People fear you for being in this house but they fear you more for being a vampire."
"I am not a vampire, I do not need to feed on human blood daily." I still wasn't lying, I didn't only needed to feed about once or twice a month, and I could sustain on animal blood anyway. The boy chuckled.
"Don't worry, I know all about being art vampire, I know when and on what you can feed and don't worry I won't tell no one." I looked at him wondering what he was up to. I looked away again.
"Brietta Lann." I said and held out my hand. He shook it with a quick grin. "So what do you people do for fun around here, that's when not torturing various girls on the train?" I was smirking now.
"Rubbing off on you already, though I doubt I have to from your former school. Right into the dark arts right?" He already knew the answer.
"Yeah though from what I have heard of this school I might have trouble catching up." I had heard this was the best school in the world and had doubted that.
"No, you will be way ahead of the classes, you could probably give the seventh years a run for their money if you wanted. Beside we don't have dark arts here, we do defense against the dark arts rather than dark arts, it sucks." My eyes widened and my eyebrows lifted.
"No dark arts?" I was shocked; I had only ever really liked dark arts, not to mention that it was the only subject I never had to think about. Dark arts at my old school had been great and my teachers had given my seventh year work when I was in year five.
"Nope, we only learn Defense against the dark arts, not the arts themselves. Come to think of it we should have a new teacher this year." We kept walking and eventually we found ourselves in a large room with couches and chairs. I figured this to be the common room and the two of us went to sit down near the fire.
"So, when you aren't talking to the new people what do you do to pass the time? Surely there is a dueling club or something right?" He laughed as I I ask him so hopefully. I glared at him.
"Nope, all we have is quiditch and classes." He replied still laughing. When he stopped he noticed I was glaring at him. "Sorry I just thought it was funny. So what was it like at your old school? Did you have any friends as good as me and Draco, or just some little girls like Pansy." I raised my eyebrows when he said pansy was a girl.
"That thing is human?" I mocked shock horror. "No but seriously what do you mean like her? Every one at my old school was either purebloods or part magical being. No one was a mud blood or anything so there wasn't really girls like her needed."
"Why did you change schools?" He asked and I looked away. I hated why I had changed schools, why I had been kicked away from my entire life.
"I'm tired I'm going to sleep, knight." I said and stood up. I walked up the stairs he had told me were to the girls dormitories. I found the one with six on it and went inside. I found my trunk at the end of a bed and my raven perched in the top of my bed. I sigh and lie next to my pet. He hops onto of my stomach and I have a silent conversation with him.
'Why are you not with the humans, I saw you talking to one.' My beloved Raven asked, me and him could talk to each other through our mines.
'I don't want to and I don't have to if I don't want to. Why don't you go speak to them?" I replied huffily.
'Because unlike you I am not human.' He snapped back at me and I glared at him. I pulled the curtains around my bed and took off my sunglasses. The raven looked into my eyes and he was the only one I could talk too without having something to hide my eyes, even my family were scared of me.
'Shut up, you don't know what your talking about. How would you like having people you just met come up to you and start prodding you about the worst memories of your life, or having to hide yourself from a whole school. You don't know what it is like to have to constantly wear glasses or use magic so no one screams or runs away.' I replied and he just moved his head to the side. 'Just leave me alone I'm tired.'
The bird laughed at me and flew again to the top of my bed. I lay down and thought about all the things I had tried to do with my eyes. I had tried transfiguration but it didn't work, I had tried Muggle contacts but they had melted off my eyes, very painfully, I had tried glasses that made my eyes seem normal but they hadn't worked either. Nothing magical or non magical seemed to change my eyes. I didn't even notice as darkness crept up on my and my mind was finally freed of the torment that was my thought. I slept.
I heard some one pulling aside my curtains. I groaned as light reached my closed eyelids. I rolled away from it and tried to escape who ever was attempting to wake me. I rolled off the bed and then still trying to sleep rolled under it.
"Get up we have classes in half an hour and you still need to have breakfast." Said a familiar voice, I knew the voice but couldn't lace it.
"I don't eat breakfast and it will only take me five minuets to get dressed so wake me up then." I mumbled from under the bed. I knew it would be muffled but assumed she understood.
"Fine then, I'll give you another twenty minuets because that is when I am coming back for my books." The person said snappily and left. I rolled around more until I couldn't be bothered trying to sleep more.
I rolled out from under the bed just as I heard some one saying something from down stairs. I put on my sunglasses and stood up groggily. I stumbled toward my trunk and look for the uniform my mother mentioned. When I finally pull out a with blouse I chuck it onto my bed. I look through the trunk and the only other thing I can find is a skirt. At first I laugh and then when Pansy comes up the stairs wearing it I look worried.
"We don't have to wear this do we?" I said holding up the skirt. She grinned and nodded. I groaned. "You must be insane, have you looked at this thing?" On me it came a few inches above my knee. She laughed and I felt more at ease with her now.
"Oh don't worry, it'll look great." I raised an eyebrow. "Just get dressed we only have about five minuets to get to potions now. Oh and I got your schedule." She handed me a piece of parchment. "You have almost as many classes as the mud blood Granger." She laughed as I walked toward the bathroom. I got changed into the uniform and when I walked down she was sitting on her bed looking at a magazine.
"There is no way I am wearing this. I mean have a look." I was wearing the uniform and I had to admit it could have looked worse, but that wasn't my problem. I was a very violent person, I liked to randomly kick or punch things and I couldn't do that in a skirt, I couldn't even sit down on a skirt without being very uncomfortable.
"Oh you look great, let's go." She grabbed my arm and I just had time to pick my books off my bed as she pulled me down the stairs. I stumbled once and was glad for the empty hall way.
"Wait, I have to get my robe." I said as I pulled from her grasp running back up the stairs. I grabbed the only part of the uniform I hadn't hated immediately. I came back down as the wall opened. I ran through after it and we walked slowly to the room I expected to be the potions class room.
When we got there I opened the door and Pansy strolled in. I followed closing the door behind her. I was surprised at I looked up to see the class full and already starting on their potions. I looked to the board and saw it was a potion I had done in second year. I also was surprised to see that the teacher standing up the front of the class looked surprisingly familiar.
"Please take a seat ladies, and miss if you would remove the glasses." He was saying that to me and I had no intention to do so.
I went o sit in my seat but did not remove my glasses. My cauldron was already there and had the ingredients as well. I began the potion knowing perfectly what to do. I was well into the potion a few minuets later and the professor came to stand abive me while I tried not to just fall asleep.
"I believe I told you to take off the sunglasses miss Lann." He said and I looked up at him. When I knew no one could see I pushed the glasses down my nose so he could see my eyes.
"I am sorry but I can't do that. You see my problem right." I said innocently. I looked up at him but as far as he could tell I could be looking at the potion I was still doing without watching.
"I was under the impression that Dumbledore had found something to fix that." He said annoyed.
"No sir, nothing seems to work with them so I have to wear these." I explained and he scowled before turning away and walking back to the rest of the class. He walked over to a Gryffindor boy and bean yelling at him about how in ten minuets he had completely ruined his potion.
I smirked as I noticed my potion was perfect, I wondered if all my classes would be this easy. I doubted they would be and when I looked to Pansy's potion I laughed. Every one else was silent but for the professor and my laughter. I noticed more people looking at me.
"Pansy you actually have to add the other ingredients rather than just watching Malfoy." She blushed and went to drop all her ingredients into the cauldron. "No!" I said just in time she stopped. "If you put them all in at once the potion is different and trust me you don't want to make that potion." I said and I knew people were watching. Pansy looked scared and I breathed out.
"What does it do?" She asked and I felt the professor behind me.
"Yes do tell us Miss Lann." The professor said from behind and I could tell he was now smirking.
"It is a summoning potion for a very rare type of demon, said demon is very violent and if it were summoned whit out warning would probably kill every human in this room." Many gasped and pansy's eyes widened. I didn't think any one noticed that I had said every human in this room. I had once before been summoned by one of these potions, it felt like your insides were ripped out and fed to you. Then your whole body was pulled in and out of a blender.
"Correct Miss Lann, ten points to Slytherin for telling us the potion and another ten for stopping the murder of every one in this room."
"Not every one just the humans." I mumbled without thinking. I still hadn't faced him and was looking down at her ingredients trying to sort them out.
"And care to enlighten me who in this class is inhuman, you perhaps?" He said and I realized I must have said it louder than I thought.
"Sorry sir, I was not calling any one inhuman, I was just making a joke." I lied and I knew he didn't believe me, I still didn't turn to face him. I heard him walk around and began to do Pansy's potion. I did it quickly but it was still right.
"Thank you, that would have been a mess." Pansy whispered and I turned to look at her. She was smiling at me and I had to admit that she wasn't as ugly when she did so. I smiled back at her but I had not truly smiled in quite a while so suppose it looked kind of scary.
"No problem." We were both done and the bell rang, we both ran out of the class room and to our next class. The rest of the day was uneventful. I had my second taste of Hogwarts food at lunch and luckily none of the teachers I had cared about my sunglasses. It was dinner time and the whole day I had answered questions from Pansy and teachers alike. All the work I had done easily and quickly.
"Oh and in third year that worthless mud blood punched Draco, the only reason he didn't beat her to a pulp was because he didn't want to get dirty. Mud bloods don't count as girls because all they are is trash and trash can't have a gender." She was rambling on and I nodded. We sat down at the Slytherin table.
"What do you have tomorrow?" I asked her and she pulled out a schedule. I knew what I had, Defense against the dark arts, runes Charms and Transfiguration. I was looking forward to none of them.
"Divination, History of magic, charms and Transfiguration." She said and put the parchment back in her pocket.
"What? I thought you did defense against the dark arts?" I said shocked, I didn't want to go through that alone, I would be bored out of my brains.
"No I dropped it this year. Draco does it though." Her eyes went dreamy like always when Draco was concerned. "I would have kept it but after the score I got last year I wasn't accepted into the class." She said and sighed. I fake choked and pretended to die as I fell back off the seat. I hit the ground with a thud and laughed. People behind me laughed too as well as a few Slytherins.
"Oh sorry were we talking abut your beloved?" I had started to call him that rather than his name, she didn't seem to mind. She glared at me as I pulled myself back onto the seat. I grinned at her and she rolled her eyes.
"Seriously, some times you are so childish and other times you scare me more than anyone or anything I have ever met seen or heard of." She didn't sound annoyed as my grin faded. I took a breath and looked at the pumpkin juice in front of me.
"Is this all they got?" I asked and she nodded also looking unhappy. I checked for a teacher and then stared intently at the cup. Before both our eyes the juice changed color and texture into red wine. I took a sip and acted like nothing had changed.
"Oh do mine." Pansy said and I did. I looked up to see Blaise, Draco, Draco's cronies and my cousin staring at me. I raised an eyebrow and heard Pansy take a sip. "This is the best wine I've ever had." She said surprised.
"What, did you think I would change it to some crap stuff that you get at the local liquor store?" I said and chuckled. "I suppose you want yours too." They all nodded and before they could say wine it was so. After a while nearly the whole Slytherin table had red wine and were all sipping it happily. Whenever a teacher came round we didn't bother to hide it. No one noticed.
Professor Snape was passing me and a curse shot through the room strait at him. It hit him in the back of the head; I already knew what the curse was and wondered what he would do. Steam emitted from his ears and nose. I saw a wisp escape his tightly pursed lips. He face was growing very red and I held back laughter as I stared at him.
Suddenly he lunged at my cup and drained it immediately, he proceeded to go through Pansy's Draco's Blaise's and one of Draco's cronies cups. His face was now the normal pale. He looked at the cup and then to the four of us ignoring the two buffoons Draco kept around.
"What is this and where did you get it?" He asked not looking angry but not looking happy. "Well?" He said when no one answered. He walked down the table inspecting every cup and found that there were only fifteen people without wine. I let escape a snort when he got to the end of the table. This was the kind of magic they taught at my old school.
"Professor may I enquire to why you are checking students drinks?" Said the headmaster curiously, he seemed highly amused as he looked down at the professor. I wondered why no one seemed fazed that a curse had been sent at the professor.
"Well sir as you saw after the curse your new professor sent at me I needed a drink. I, assuming that these children were drinking pumpkin juice, took their drinks to cease the burning in my throat. As it turns out they are drinking red wine, a nice one I may add. I was merely trying to find out how they got it." He explained as the headmaster turned serious.
"Who did this? Who brought Alcohol into the grounds?" He seemed calm but unhappy. "I do not expect you to stand up in front of all these people, but if the culprit doesn't come to me by tomorrow night I will be forced to take measures to ensure we find them." I looked at the table smirking. I stood up.
"I did it sir, I had no idea it wasn't aloud at this school, but technically I didn't bring alcohol onto the ground I just changed the pumpkin juice." My face was neutral as I stared up at him. I felt Snape at my back. He put a hand on my shoulder and I shivered.
"Miss Lann please go with Severius to my office I will be there to talk to you soon." He said and I turned to face the professor, he moved his hand and started out of the hall. I grinned at Pansy and the others just as I was leaving. I winked at them as the doors closed behind me.
I was led to a statue and I was playing with my robes when I noticed that the statue was open. I walked up the stairs and opened the door without knocking. I went in and sat at a chair across from the desk. I sit there and the professor stands, I transfigure some things from my pocket into a packet of gum and offer the professor some. He just raises and eyebrow at me.
"Well you want some?" I ask and he shakes his head. "Meh, suit yourself." I say putting some into my mouth and chewing it. I blew bubble and popped them feeling the professor tensing each time. At last he snapped and put a hand down on my shoulder hard. II was expected to jump in fright but didn't.
"Cease that infernal noise." I smirked and stopped. The headmaster came is seconds later and was looking at me sadly. He sat down at his desk and looked at me expectantly. I just sat there chewing my gum with the odd bubble.
"Well miss Lann, what have you got to say for yourself?" He asks and I take a deep breath. I hate when people ask me that.
"I did it because I hate pumpkin juice and in my old school we were told if we knew how to do the magic we could do as we pleased with it." I said and grinned then went back to chewing. Neither of the men said anything. "Wenn du weißt, was ich meine, und ich denke, du tust es." This was German for 'If you know what I mean and I think you do.' I was always saying stupid things in German because I spoke it fluently.
"Excuse me?" Asked the headmaster. "Was that German?" He seemed very confuse and I couldn't help but smirk. II looked down at my hand and nodded. He didn't ask what the meant like I would have thought of him. "Well you should know that is not appropriate now so you will not do it again. I believe it is up to professor Snape for your punishment and I doubt he is as merciful as i. However that is all so you may go." He said and I stood. I bowed the headmaster and then turned to bow to my new potions master. They both looked surprised and I walked toward the door. II opened it and was nearly out.
