Chapter .2.
Cassiopeia and her prefect partner Terry Boot gather the first year Ravenclaw's together along with the three new students. Cassy hoped they won't realise she was Bella from Forks.
"Welcome to Ravenclaw House. I am Prefect Cassiopeia Tonks", Cassy says
"And I am Prefect Terry Boot", Terry says
"We will be showing you to your house. Please follow us", Cassiopeia says, "Be careful of the stairs they like to change"
No one was going to tell her she didn't do a good job. She was going to treat them like any other students. She catches Harry's eye as they leave the Great Hall. He looked at her worriedly. She smiled back at him making him relax a bit.
They all follow her to the West side of the Castle. They come to a blue and bronze door with an Eagle knocker.
"This house is the house of knowledge so instead of a password we have to answer a riddle", Cassiopeia says
"They come out at night without being called, and are lost in the day without being stolen. What are they?" the knocker asks
"This is a tricky one can anyone tell the knocker the answer?" Terry asks
"Stars", Kate Denali says
"Correct", the knocker says opening the door
Cassiopeia and Terry lead them inside. All the first years gasp at the inside so do Kate, Rosalie and Jasper.
"This is our common room. The girls rooms are on the left and the boys on the right. You each have your own rooms. You will find your belongings already there. We are the house of knowledge and Professor Flickwick is our head of house he teaches charms. He aspects an Exceeds Expectations or an Outstanding on your end of year examines. If he finds you're doing poorly in a class he will have you tutored by someone that is good in that class", Cassiopeia explains
"If you have any questions please ask a prefect or a Professor. Does anyone have a question now?" Terry asks
"What time is breakfast?" a girl asks
"It's at 8. Classes begin at 9. Curfew is at 10.00 for first years except when you have Astronomy. Curfew for other years are 11.00pm", Cassiopeia replies
"When are Quidditch tryouts?" a boy asks
"First years are not allowed on the team unless they pass a flying test with Professor Hooch. If you do manage to pass the test. Tryouts are in two weeks time on the Saturday. Rodger Davies is our Quidditch Captain the team is currently looking for 1 chaser, 1 keeper and 1 beater and a reserve team", Cassiopeia replies
"Are you on the team?" Kate asks her
"Yes. I play Chaser", Cassiopeia replies
"Are we allowed to go to Hogsmeade?" a girl asks
"First and Second years are not allowed to go. Third years and up need permission from their parents or guardians to go. Hogsmeade weekends start in three weeks", Terry replies
"If you want to send a letter to your parents about what house you have been sorted into the Owlery is on this side of the Castle outside. You can borrow a school owl to deliver your letters. If you have your own pets you are responsible for them", Cassiopeia says
"Any other questions?" Terry asks
There was no more questions and Terry and Cassiopeia helped them find their rooms.
"So you're a Tonks?" Kate asks
"Yes", Cassiopeia replies showing her and Rosalie to their rooms
"Is it hard having a Muggle-Born father?" Rosalie asks
"No it isn't. Now if you excuse me. I have to unpack", Cassiopeia says going to her own room and shutting the door and putting up a muffiato around the room.
So vampires couldn't hear and she sighs. This was going to be a long year. She unpacks her stuff hangs up all her clothes and found her summer homework. She reads it over for a fourth time before going to bed. She would see Harry in the morning.
Next Day…
Cassiopeia woke up at 7 and had a shower and changed into her black robes with the Ravenclaw crest on them. She gets her bag and puts her homework in it. And goes downstairs she meets Luna at the doorway.
"Morning", Luna says as they walk
"Morning", Cassiopeia says
They walk in silence to the Great Hall. Harry was waiting for her. He kisses her lips.
"How are you?" Harry asks pulling away
"Ok. Had to show the newbies around", Cassiopeia replies
"Hermione and Ron had to too. Those 4 vampires were hyped up. They drive them crazy with questions", Harry says with a chuckle
Cassiopeia chuckles, "That had to be fun. I better go to Ravenclaw Table. Professor Flickwick is handing out time tables. Have a good day"
Harry kisses her again before they part to their separate tables. Cassiopeia sits with Lisa as Professor Flickwick had her, her time table. She had Arithmacy first. She eats her breakfast then begins to walk out of the Great Hall with Hermione.
"Miss Tonks! Miss Granger!" Professor McGonagall calls
They both turn around to see the Professor with Alice, Rosalie, Jasper, Charlotte, Kate, and Irina.
"Can we help you Professor?" Cassiopeia asks
"Yes Miss Tonks you may. These 6 students have Arithmacy with you. Can you please show them were to go?" Professor McGonagall asks
"Of course Professor", Hermione says sharing a look with Cassiopeia
"Thank you both. I leave you in these two hands", Professor McGonagall says leaving
"Follow us", Cassiopeia says walking off in the direction of the Arithmacy classroom
"You're a Metamorphmagus aren't you?" Alice asks
"Yes I am. So is my sister", Cassiopeia replies
"Is it difficult to control it?" Kate asks
"Sometimes", Cassiopeia replies
Like right now she thinks. That's when the class started. She handed in her homework for all classes that day. And got some new homework.
"Had a good day?" Harry asks her
"Had better. Let's go to the library to study", Cassiopeia says kissing him
"Sure. Let's grab Ron, Hermione and Neville", Harry says wrapping an arm around her waist
They all head to the library when Edward comes up to them.
"Why can't I read your mind?" Edward asks Cassiopeia
"I am an Occlumens", Cassiopeia replies, "Why can you read mines?"
"Yes I can. What are you hiding?" Edward asks
"Get away from my girlfriend", Harry says drawing his wand
"Or what?" Edward asks
"Duro!" Harry says making Edward a statue
"Leave it Harry. This Slytherin is not worth it. Don't finish him off", Cassiopeia says pulling Harry away with help from Ron
They leave Edward standing like a statue. And go to the library for peace and quiet.
"Can I join you?" Kate asks shyly coming in
"And me?" Charlotte asks
Cassiopeia had no grudges with these vampires.
"Ok. We are doing are homework", Cassiopeia replies
Kate and Charlotte smile and they sit down with them. Cassiopeia actually liked Kate and she didn't know Charlotte well. They were nice. Nicer than the others she knows.
"You can call me Char if you want", Charlotte says as they were talking
"Call me Kate please", Kate says
"Call me Cassy then. I like you both. You're not like the others", Cassiopeia replies
"We are really not part of their family. They are a little over bearing aren't they?" Charlotte asks
"A little", Hermione says
"We will try and help you with them", Kate offers
"Thanks", Cassiopeia replies
They talk till it was time to go back to their common rooms. Kate and Cassiopeia talk on the way to the Ravenclaw Door.
"What gets broken without being held?" the knocker asks
"A promise", Cassiopeia whisperers
"Correct", the knocker says letting them in
"Can we talk in private? I don't what the others hearing this?" Kate asks nervously
"Ok. We can go to my room. Follow me", Cassiopeia replies leading her to her room
Cassiopeia shuts and locks the door. Her room was already sound proof.
"What's up?" Cassiopeia asks sitting on her bed and gesturing to Kate to sit next to her
"I have never had a friend before. Only those sisters and they haven't been much company. And our 'cousins' I don't like much but Rosalie, Emmett, Char and Peter", Kate confesses
"I will be your friend. I will tell you my secret. If I can trust you and teach you Occlumency so Edward and any others can't read your thoughts. Do we have a deal?" Cassiopeia asks
"Yes, Yes, Yes. I don't want him reading my thoughts. Thank you", Kate says hugging her
Cassiopeia laughs and hugs her back.
"That's ok. I think you will pick it up fast because you are a vampire", Cassiopeia says
"How did you know?" Kate asks shocked she knew she was a vampire
"I have had run in with vampires before. I will tell you after I teach you Occlumency", Cassiopeia says smiling
"Ok. How do we start this?" Kate asks
Cassiopeia gets the book off her shelf with a flick of her wand and hands it to Kate.
"Take this and read it. Tomorrow we start on building up your defences", Cassiopeia says
"Thank you. I will see you tomorrow?" Kate asks
"Yes. Your free to sit with me if you want", Cassiopeia replies liking Kate
"Thanks I will. See you tomorrow", Kate says smiling and leaving
"See you tomorrow", Cassiopeia says shutting her door
Kate wasn't bad like the others and seemed to have enough of them. That made her alright in Cassy's book. She puts her stuff away then goes to bed. Tomorrow will be another big day…
