Chapter Twelve:
First Week
Part 2
Thursday
September 6th, 2001
I really don't want to get up. I mean I have a gut feeling today will be bad. I roll out of bed and pull on my version of the uniform and look to my roommate as she wait for me. I smile to her as she flip through the book.
I know I really shouldn't but I walked up to her and reach out for the book. She gave it to me and I closed it and sigh softly as Charlotte and her sat on my bed watching me. "I am Light, I am one too strong to fight, Return to dark where shadows dwell. You cannot have this Halliwell. Now go away, and leave my sight, And take with you, this endless night." I said with my eyes closed. The gasp made me open my eyes as I saw the book in my hands. The black pages seep white and I open it as it start it start to form words. It was my very own personal Book of Shadows.
We read it together at breakfast and play around till the twins did a prank on Percy. His glasses fogged up and his slightly purple hair stood on end as he turn to the twins whom did a disappearing act.
I put the book into my bag but when I look at it the pages were black again. Oliver smile to me as I walked into Charms. I sat beside him with Percy in front of us. "He is still blaming twins and I for his slight discolorment?" I asked Oliver who laugh and nod his head.
The Charms class was long and boring but when I start to doze I was poked in the side by Oliver. I growl at him as we walked out of the class. "You go to sleep and someone pranks you who will get your revenge?" He reason and I smile pushing him lightly. "What are you doing after classes?" He ask with a warm smile that made my heart speed up.
With a gulp I shrugged my shoulders. "Training till six then dinner I suppose." I answer.
He frown and nod his head. What was that about? I wonder heading to my Transfiguration class. I smile and skip over to Fred and George as they talked. "Hey." I said chiper than have been all day.
They smile to me and I was so happy when I was able to sit between them. The chasers for Gryffindor don't like me, don't know why but they don't.
Class was long but entertaining as the twins messed with the Hufflepuff Students in our class. Cedric Diggory, a tall well built boy in Hufflepuff with brown hair and dark eyes, was the one they mainly directed their pranks to. I hit them on the shoulders when they start to get on poor boy's nerves. "You two behave." I hiss at them as he glared in our directions. He gave me a smile that made me want to punch him, to bad the twins are in my way.
At the end of class we walked to lunch. I skip to where Hermione is and sit beside her as she wrote in her book. "Homework?" I asked knowingly. She nod her head still working quite hard.
After lunch I walked to the class I hate. Defence Against Dark Arts. I have double with Fourth year Slytherin and Ravenclaw. No Gryffindors besides me so I am alone. I sat down by myself as a Ravenclaw with long blond hair and silver eyes came to me. "Is this spot taken?" She asked softly.
I shook my head. "No."
"I am Stella." She said reaching out to me.
She is so pretty but somewhat strange. I smile up to her taking her hand. She stopped it and flip my palm up and place a small glass circular object in my hand. "Prudence, everyone calls me Dence."
She smile warmly to me. "I know."
The class pass by easier with Stella than with Seth. The glass thing apparently had a piece of a plant that dull the smell senses. It helped with the garlic smell a lot. By end of class I turn to give her back the container. "Keep it. I have more." She said warmly. "See you around, Miss Halliwell." She spoke softly that no one else heard her but my eyes went wide as she wink at me walking off.
I jump up and ran after her. "Stella." I hiss.
She stop turning around with that warm strange smile. "Don't worry, Phoenix, I won't tell anyone of who you are. You see I have a special rare gift that was passed down from my mother. She told me of great things I will accomplish as will my baby sister with her friend, Nixie. Nixie the Pixie." She laugh at her own lame joke.
I feel like I should trust her so I nod my head. We walked off in our own directions then. I have almost three hours of training with Lupin.
Training with Lupin is really fun but tough. He seems to be getting over an illness too. We went to our own groove and before long he start to shoot rocks, big rocks, at me. I start to dodge and use my powers or fighting skills on them. He then look over another direction and shot a rock as big as someone's head in the direction he looked in.
I look up to see the six players of Gryffindor Quiddish team standing there. I ran out in the rocks and kicked it as hard as I can making it fly in another direction then smirk, hiding the pain my ankle is giving me.
He looks impress. "Go ahead and leave early. Good job, Dence!" He said walking off.
I shook my head in amusement and turn to the Quiddish team. "What are you all doing this way?" I playfully scold the older kids.
The twins both got either side of me with matching grins. "You were bloody wicked." They said together.
I roll my eyes then look to Oliver for explications. He smile a really nice smile as he rub back of his neck nervously. "We finished practice and heard an explosion so we decided to see what was happening."
I roll my eyes again and sigh. "I made two rocks hit each other and speed they were going made them seem like exploding." I inform them with a light blush. "Now excuse me I reek and want a nice shower." I said walking pass them to go to the castle. The sky is already getting dark.
After shower Hermione and I went to Dinner. The Chasers seem to be in conversation with each other and every now and then glance in my direction. Hermione notice and I shrug my shoulder. Dinner over, Hermione and I work together on homework trying to get them finish as fast as we could.
Friday
September 7th, 2001
Next morning I remember that I have Potions. Not just Potions, my favorite subject, but I have it with the twins. I jump up excited and got ready for the day. Hermione pouting over the fact it is Friday.
She got up after me and got ready. Charlotte followed me downstairs and jump on the couch pressing herself to a redhead boy. I ran over and a light blush cross my cheeks. "Charlotte, bad kitten." I said picking her up and she claw me making me drop her. She ran back to the Weasley twin who is laughing and petting her. "I am so sorry, Fred." I said softer glaring at the cat.
Her blue eyes look up to me with a mischief glint. Dang, I have been around Hagrid to long if I think my cat is planning something. I groan interly. "You know animals tend to like the same people that their owner likes." George said with a mischief smile and I saw a blush cross Fred's cheeks lightly before it hit me. My face went pure hot and I scoop up Charlotte running up the tower. To my room I dropped her on my bed after calming down for a minute before going back downstairs.
After breakfast I end up being partner with Fred in Potions. George with Alicia and Angelina is with Lee, whom is shamelessly flirting with her. "You know this morning, George was only playing?" Fred said concentrating really hard on the book in front of him.
I smirk noticing it is upside down and reach over flipping it before Snape notice. He blush slightly and smile. I smile up to him with my own blush. "It's fine." I lie. I hate lying but if it keeps my friendship with Fred normal till we actually date then I will do so.
Not long after class start Snape was hard on Gryffindor but not as hard as he was on Harry. We lost about ten points by end of the class because of the twins. At the end of the class I put my hand on Fred's arm smiling to him. He nod his head to me as they left.
A few minutes pass then Oliver came in. He sat beside me and softly elbow me. I elbow him back and smile warmly. "What was with this morning? It was something about a cat." He ask curious making my face heat up.
I look down unable to look at him in the eyes. "Well George was picking on Fred and I. It's silly." I smile forcing my blush down.
Class with him was much better than class with the twins, less pranks and rude remarks. Snape seem neutral again as he worked with the class. Oliver as my partner and I groan as he had to explain to me what Snape meant. "I still don't get it." I frown to him. He laugh as he softly as he nudge me. "Piper would be serverly disappointed with me." I said softly so only Oliver can hear me. He pat me on the back softly and then helped me with last of the potion.
Lunch time finally came and I sat at the table trying to figure out where I went wrong. "What are you doing?" George ask sitting on one side. Fred got on the other.
I glance up and sip my drink. "Trying to figure out where I went wrong in my Fifith Year Potions class. Oliver given up on trying to explain." They looked amusely at me. "My Aunt," I can't say Piper. "Jenny, would be extremely upset at me if I mess up a potion. That's our favorite side project to do while cooking." I said smiling to them. Hermione look up from her book with a knowing look.
"How many Aunts do you have?" Ron ask coming over with Harry and shoved food into his mouth.
"Three. My Mom was eldest of four girls." I answer. "Jamie is my mom, she was good at anything she put her mind to. Then Jenny whom is a cook and also club owner. Julie is my aunt who has always been more of a sister to me, she is engaged to the demon. Finally there is Jo who is youngest and only half sister to my other aunts and mom. She is still just as important to me." I answer with a warm smile. I know I shouldn't lie but they can't know who I really am, not yet.
I given up on the Potion for now and went to Herbology. I went in and a wide smile cross my lips. Sitting at the only open spot is Seth. I skip over to him and smile bigger. "This spot taken?" I ask sweetly.
He look up to me with a warm smile his own. "Now it is." He said pulling me on to the seat making me laugh. Slytherin and Gryffindor Sixth Year working together.
We finish class and I skip beside Seth as we walked. "What class you have next?" He asked curiously.
I stop midstep then smile. "Magical Theory with my first year friends." I answer resuming my skipping. He laugh as he walked beside me.
He saw me to class then walked away. I went to my spot where I notice that Harry and Ron were sitting there with Hermione who doesn't look please. "What were you doing with an older Slytherin?" Ron spat at me.
I gave him a confuse look. "Not all Slytherin are bad. Seth is my friend and I don't see anything wrong with being friends with him."
"Seth MacTyre?" He ask, face being drain off all color. I gave him a confuse look but nod anyway. "His mum was a faithful Death Eater that got pregnant and refuse to say who the baby's father is. It is believed he is You-Know-Who's child."
I shook my head and made a disapproving noise at Ron. "Even if that is true he can't help who his parents are. You don't know him."
"I bloody well know he is dangerous!" Ron snapped at me.
A few people turn to us as Pince shush us. "Work." She said and walked away.
I glared at Ron. "I don't care who is he related to. It is idiotic to say someone is no good because who they are related to. It's so stupid and pointless." I scold him.
After that I didn't talked to Ron, Harry tried not to get involved. Ron had gotten up to do something and Harry look up to me. His green eyes looks slightly confuse. "What if Ron is right? His father would be the man who killed my pare-"
I cut him off right then. "So what? Will you hold it against him when he was probably what five or so at the time? He can't help what his parents are just like you can't help you are a Potter and Hermione is a mortal born witch. I can't help I was born into a Coven family." I said and he nod his head. He looks ashamed as he look down. "You can't help for what you feel though." He gave me a weak smile and we went back to work.
After class we all walked to Hagrid. I had practice and they had a plan visit with him. "Can I come and meet Hagrid with you?" Ron asked Harry as we left.
It was a little before three as the four of us got out to where Hagrid's shack is. I skip ahead happy Hagrid said I could bring Hermione along. I got to the crossbow and pair of boating boots. Harry was up next as I stopped not really wanting to train today.
Harry knocked and we all heard shuffling from the other side of the door and barking. I couldn't help but smile. "Back, Fang - back." Hargrid yelled at his dog. Hagrid's big, hairy face appeared in the crack as he pulled the door open and I tried to not laugh at how he still reminds me of a teddy bear. "Hang on," he said. "Back, Fang."
We all came in as Hagrid struggled to keep hold on the black boarhound's collar. I walk forward letting Fang see I was with the strangers. He bark and bounce making Hagrid lose his grip. Next thing I know is I'm on the ground laughing as his dog licks me like crazy.
The one room shack is small but cozy. Hams and pheasants were hanging from the ceiling, a copper kettle was boiling on the open fire, and in the corner stood a massive bed with a patchwork quilt over it.
"Make yerselves at home," Hagrid's voice boom, Fang lost interest in me and made Ron his licking victim.
"This is Ron," Harry told Hagrid, as I helped Hagrid put some type of cake goody onto plates and he pour boiling water into a teapot.
"Another Weasley, eh?" said Hagrid, glancing at Ron's freckles and I snicker. "I spent half me life chasin' yer twin brothers away from the forest."
That made me laugh uncontrollably. "Can I help next time?" I ask sweetly.
He gave me a look but didn't answer me. Hagrid explain to me that training is postpone today so he can catch up with Harry and I. Harry told him of his lessons while Fang laid his head on the boy's knee drooling all over him.
The sweets to hard for me to eat so I told him I wasn't hungry which I wasn't so not lying anyway. Hermione bail not long after entering. Saying something about Charlotte ripping her things up when left alone to long. In truth I think Fang scares her.
I could hear Hagrid grumble under his breath about Filch and finally said "that old git." That made Harry and Ron happier.
"An' as fer that cat, Mrs. Norris, I'd like ter introduce her to Fang sometime. D'yeh know, every time I go up ter the school, she follows me everywhere? Can't get rid of her - Filch puts her up to it." He inform them.
I laugh. "You are to sweet to do anything mean and you would never hurt someone." I said and he smile patting my shoulder.
Harry told Hagrid about Snape's lesson. Hagrid told Harry not to worry about it, that Snape liked hardly any of the students. Which I could have told him. I somehow got on his good side. Well if that man had one.
Harry doesn't look like he believes Hagrid as he spoke again. "But he seemed to really hate me."
"Rubbish!" said Hagrid. "Why should he?" I notice Hagrid seem to fidget when he said that not really looking at Harry even making me not believe him. "How's yer brother Charlie?" Hagrid asked Ron trying to change subjects. "I liked him a lot - great with animals."
While Ron told Hagrid all about Charlie's work with dragons, I played with Fang's ears and saw Harry picked up a piece of paper. He wasn't being nosey just saw it on the table under his tea cozy. I look over his shoulder and read it, it's a news paper clipping.
Daily Prophet:
GRINGOTTS BREAK-IN LATEST
Investigations continue into the break-in at Gringotts on 31 July, widely believed to be the work of Dark wizards or witches unknown.
Gringotts goblins today insisted that nothing had been taken. The vault that was searched had in fact been emptied the same day.
"But we're not telling you what was in there, so keep your noses out if you know what's good for you," said a Gringotts spokesgoblin this afternoon.
I look to Harry as his eyes went wide. "Hagrid!" Harry realize as did I that's the same day we were there, "that Gringotts break-in happened on my birthday! It might've been happening while we were there!"
Hagrid grunted and this time didn't meet his or my eyes, no doubt trying to hide something important. Instead he tried to get us to eat his 'rock cakes', which I didn't instead look at the news paper clipping.
I got up excusing myself. I walked off heading back to the castle. As I am almost near the castle I feel someone right behind me and wrap their arm around my waist and someone else put their hand on my mouth.
They smell like sweets and potions. I smile relaxing to the boys knowing who they are. They pull me into another area and I stetch as they let me go. "Why did you two kidnap me when you could've asked me to come along?" I ask as I turn to the red hair and warm eyes of the twins.
They look to eavh other then back to me. "We need your help." George admitted.
I raise an eyebrow at him as Fred start. "If we can get you Fairy or Pixie Dust can you freeze the Great Hall?" Fred asked hesitantly.
"All but us three." George asked.
I gave them both a 'what the hell' look. "Why in All Elder's time would you want me to do that? What are you two planning?"
They both look down in slight shame. "Next Quiddish practice will you come watch us?" George asked.
I nod my head. "Then you will see." Fred said with a frown.
We sat in the tunnel talking till it start to get dark. They lead me through the twists and turns to the Great Hall. Once there we went in and ate. The food was good but my mind reel at the fact the twins are asking me to do something that is against my code.
It's stupid reason to make my mind reel in truth cause they must have good reason. The twins wouldn't risk me losing my powers for nothing. "Hey." Someone said knocking me out of my train of thought. My brown eyes met he brown warm eyes that made me comfortable and want to just melt in my spot. "You okay?" His Scottish accent made me relax and nod my head.
"You know I'm still having trouble with that potion. Mind trying to help me?" I ask hopeful.
He sigh shaking his head in only what I can assume is amusement. He look up to me and sigh softly. "I will supervise and make sure you actually get it right." He insure me.
I couldn't help but smile. "Thank you, Oliver." With that we head back to the common room. I dropped my other books off in my room and came back with my black kitten following me. Oliver bent over scooping her up. "Charlotte." I slightly groan at the cat.
He smile petting the cat affectionately. "It's fine."
Something then made me stop in my tracks. "Why doesn't the guys go up the girls' rooms but girls can go up the guys'?"
He laugh and motion to the staircases. "They are hex where guys can't go up them. Only one guy is known to get around the hex from what my dad told me." He answer. "A girl was seriously injure and the staircase let the house Prefect go upstairs to bring her to medical wing."
I look at him in amazement. He brush it off and we went to the couch infront of the fire that's unlit. I sat down infront of him with the book in my lap. His knee softly tap my head making me rest the back of my neck on it looking up to his warm eyes.
I went back sitting cross legged now and saw Hermione come down sitting in a big comfortable seat with her own textbook. "It felt strange being upstairs alone." She admit and made me laugh flipping to the page I need to be on. She ramble to Oliver who seems interested in what they are talking about.
He helped both of us with our work, more her than me and it wasn't much help just correcting minor pronouncements of words. She got all of this so I have no idea why she is doing it wrong. Maybe she likes Oliver. That thought made me feel slightly sick and I push it off.
After a while of us working I lean back again looking up at Oliver. He tried not to laugh that I couldn't get this. "Dence, will you tell us who was who when you were speaking of your aunts and mum at lunch?" Hermione asked.
I stop pouting at Oliver and look around. Not many people were looking at us or paying attention. "Mom is Prue but I called her Jamie. Piper is more of a Jenny to me for some reason." I explain to them. Oliver raise his eyebrow. "You already know I can't tell anyone who they really are but you two already know so no point in lying." I explain to him. He nod his head and I close my eyes for a moment. "Phoebe is Julie and Paige is Jo." I finish resting my back to Oliver's legs. It feels good to just be close to him. I force my mind back to task on hand before I get lost in feeling good somehow touching Oliver. Ugh, I am so weird.
I sat cross legged on the floor with my Fifth Year Potions book in front of me. I groan leaning back to the couch, much to Oliver's amusement. "Still don't get it?" George ask jumping over the back of the couch. Fred did the same. They caged Oliver in his place right behind me.
"No." I pout.
Oliver pat my head with a still amused smile. "You will."
"Try to clear your mind and start fresh?" Hermione suggest from her chair.
I groan resting the back of my head on Oliver's knee. Our eyes connect for a moment and I pout. "Why can't you explain it?" I whimper.
He roll his eyes and nudge my head forward. "Got to figure it out on your own."
"What about a distraction till you can clear your mind?" Fred ask sharing a mischief look with George.
His brother with the same look nod his head. "Yeah."
I look at them slightly worried about what they have in mind. "Like what?"
"Tell us the Fairy Story!" They cheered.
I roll my eyes turning to them. "I wouldn't mind hearing it." Oliver input.
Hermione look up from her own textbook. "I would like to hear it too." She said brightly.
I smile at the memory of the sandy brown hair girl from my past. I knew I couldn't use my aunts' real names so I used the made up names. I had to change my mom's too cause us both being named Prudence is suspicious. "My Aunt Julie," Phoebe. "Picked me up from my after school program. She took me out to dinner and we had a lot of fun. On our way home my mom called. She was freaking out cause my god-mother, Jenny, had a nightmare.
"That's when a girl not much younger than me ran out in front of the car. Julie stopped the car and in a rush told me to stay there as she went after the little girl. When she came back we couldn't get her to tell us her address so Julie brought her home with us. Who would have guess that would have been the start of our adventure with the Fairies?" I laugh as my mind start to spin with the memory.
