Chapter 3: If You were a Fly on the Wall…
Hogwarts' beauty seemed to never cease. It was beautiful antique castle in the middle of Scotland. No one knew the exact location of where we went every year because of the vigilance to keep our world separate from the Muggles. Raven, Anna, and myself never really understood the great divide between magical folk and muggles, since we had lived surrounded by muggles all of our lives. Sure, we came from obscure pureblood families that have seemingly some ties to the Dark Lord. My good friend, Raven Williams, had been a family friend of the Valentines supposedly through the centuries. The same went with the Peacock clan. It remained quite odd that the Williams family resided in London, England, while the Peacocks and Valentines were living in New York City.
All those thoughts about how we became friends simply shifted from my mind as we waited for our own carriage to come. Anna nudged me in the side to look ahead of us. There was the Golden Trio- Hermonie Granger, Ron Weasley, and Harry Potter with Luna Lovegood. Wouldn't they know this wouldn't bode too well? We accidentally took their carriage since they were just talking about the threstals that pull the carriages. Soon enough, Harry Potter had an interesting meeting with the dirt. Draco had shoved him to the ground and entered into our carriage.
"Haha, Potty. Does POTHEAD have a booboo? Want your precious mud—"Draco had been interrupted as the carriage went zooming away. He fell at our feet since I had incited the threstals to go. Anna shook her head as I innocently shrugged my shoulders. Raven helped up Draco who looked at me incredulously.
"Yes, Draco?" I muttered crossing my eyes. I glanced at Anna and Raven who rolled their eyes as this was a usual antic of mine. I would seemingly always try to find a way to embarrass him, and his revenge usually involved some idiotic maneuver that embarrassed the snot out of me. He brushed his pants off as he took a seat next to me. Draco narrowed his eyes.
"You mate are pure evil," Draco replied in a haughty manner.
I smirked as I leaned closer to Draco. As I batted my eyes, I said, "I'm Slytherin Royalty, what do you expect?" I smirked as Anna threw a wad of paper at me. Normally, I would have thrown the paper back, but Peacock motioned to read the paper. I rolled my eyes as Raven and Draco engaged in a discussion of Quidditch. The two boys were in the midst of a heated discussion as I opened the note that read:
Flirting with Malfoy again? Just kiss him already!
Oh, I was pissed. I was about to retaliate when Draco plucked the note from grasp and raised his eyebrow. "So Valentine, you find the Prince of Slytherin irresistible, like every other girl," he exclaimed in an amused tone.
"Shut it Malfoy, before I put you in the Imperius Curse, and cause you to fool around with Potter," I muttered scornfully as I added emphasis on the Imperius Curse and Potter. Malfoy smirked as he ripped up the note.
"Now Now, Miss Valentine, you don't want to go off and get yourself expelled and thrown into Azkaban," Malfoy smugly replied. He threw the ripped pieces of paper on me as we arrived to our destination - Hogwarts.
Hogwarts was our home during the school year. We had gotten out of our carriage and entered into the castle. So there we were making our way to the Great Hall in order to be seated for the Sorting Ceremony and the Feast. We had finally reached the Great Hall which was lit by torches. Oddly enough, we were one of the first few people to make it to the double doors thanks in part to our rude manners, most notably Draco's manners. There were the four long House tables. We strolled over to the last table which marked the Slytherin Table with out Green and Silver banner with our snake seal. We took our regular seats towards the end of the table near the teachers table. However, we weren't too close to the end but rather off of the middle. Draco was the first to take a seat and I took the seat to his left while Crabbe and Goyle were to his right. Anna took the seat right across from me and Raven was right in front of Draco. Oh how things never change when you are a Slytherin!
We continued on having a discussion of sorts on how long it would take Potter to be expelled from Hogwarts. However, the doors opened up as the first years were hurried in by Professor McGonagall, who was carrying the Sorting Hat. Raven rolled his in utter dislike of this whole process. Anna was having a short discussion with Daphne Greengrass. I, on the other hand, perked up in anticipation to hear the song of the Sorting Hat. The hat went on to speak about how the four houses of Hogwarts must come together into to stop the impending danger. Yeah right. That would so totally happen. McGonagall was about to begin the sorting ceremony, however, I felt something on my backside. Whatever it was pinched me causing to yelp in front of the whole assembly. Professor McGonagall looked crossly towards the Slytherin Table. She cleared her throat.
"Is everything alright there, Miss Valentine?" Professor McGonagall questioned.
I sheepishly looked down to the table and nodded my head. I looked over to Draco who was enthralled into a conversation with Blaise Zabini who was several people away from him. I rolled my eyes as Williams muttered, "That old bat is bitter that she doesn't get sex."
The people in our section of the Slytherin table erupted in laughter causing McGonagall to throw the Slytherins looks so that we would hush. At any point a first year was drafted to Slytherin, Draco would bang his cup against the table and cheering. Thankfully, the sorting ceremony was over and Dumbledore stood up. Draco rolled his eyes as Dumbledore spoke in a happy tone and out stretched arms, "To our newcomers welcome to Hogwarts. To our old hands—welcome back! There is a time for speechmaking, and this is not the time. Tuck in!" With that, the food appeared on the tables. We all ate until once again something was on my bottom. One guess. Draco Malfoy. He was an idiothole. I took the chicken leg off my plate and whacked Malfoy with it.
"DRACO MALFOY," I shouted as he rubbed his arm. Anna and Raven sniggered evilly as I shot them dirty looks. He then smirked as he leaned towards me.
Draco questioned rather suggestively, "Phoenix, want to see something bigger than a chicken leg?"
However, I calmly retorted back, "Awwh, I didn't know Oliver Wood came back to visit me." Draco muttered several curse word under his breath while amused me. However, he chuckled.
"I knew you wanted me Phoenix," he plainly stated. I turned to him in confusion.
"Huh?" I responded back. He looked at me and then shrieked as he saw Brianna Ellen Brigstock behind him. She had Draco's backside within her fat chocolate covered hands. Brianna was an obese greasy haired girl with pimples and blemishes crawling all over her face. Now, if any muggle would describe what a witch looked like, that would be Brianna Ellen. She let go of Draco's bum and wiggled her eyebrows.
"DRAKE, you know you want me. I saw you talking about Quidditch to Blaise. And you were flirting with me. I saw you look at me. You want to have sex and impregnate me," Brianna spoke in a shrilly obnoxious voice that reminded me of a pigeon dying.
I held my head as Draco was irked that a repulsive thing touched him. Draco sneered at Brianna and spoke, "Do not think you can touch a Malfoy, Brigstock. If my father finds out about this, you will be place in Azkaban."
Raven chuckled as Brigstock wasn't paying attention, she was off shouting about baby names. Therefore, Williams shouted at the lardass, "You psycho hoes beast better shut that trap of yours!"
Still, Brianna wasn't understanding or comprehending the English language. Anna stood up and smacked the table shouting at Brianna, "I AM GOING TO CONJURE A SINK TO THROW AT YOU!"
Oh how thickheaded Brianna was. She almost launched herself at Draco to kiss him, so naturally I had to react. And no, it's not what you think; I just hate Brianna a lot. I stood in between Draco and Brianna and shoved my wand to her throat. I politely smiled as I spoke, "Brianna, please get away from the Royals. You are delusional and need to be sent to St. Mungo's. So you better take your filthy hands and yourself away, before I hurt you. Okay! Thanks! Buh-bye!!"
Brianna ran off crying towards Pansy, I assume to cry about how mean I was. She was a pure nutcase. Draco looked over towards me as I flicked the robe as I sat back down. However, before we could possibly do anything, Dumbledore stood up to give out his usual speech. He spoke about how the Forbidden Forest was forbidden. Big surprise. Then he said something about magic not being allowed in the halls, okay really, this is a magic school, why can't we use magic?! Then he introduced Grubbly-Plank who was substituting for Hagrid and Umbridge was going to be the Defense against the Dark Arts. Raven took one look at that weird looking bulldog. He muttered as Professor Umbridge began a long-winded speech, "Oi, since when do bulldogs get to teach classes?"
I looked over to Raven as Anna was doing her best not to burst out laughing. "Raven! That's totally mean. You shouldn't treat...oh…crap. Where did she get that CARDIGAN?" I chuckled lightly trying to hide in the hood of my robe.
Draco shook his head as he whispered to us, "Umbridge is a member of the Ministry of Magic." Anna looked to us and then back to Umbridge.
"Do they not pay her enough? Does she REALLY have to wear a bright pink cardigan with a cat pin?" Anna questioned.
Raven smirked stating, "Cats are so 'wubby'." I rolled my eyes as Umbridge continued to talk and talk about stuff. Merlin knows what she was chatting about. Something about headmasters, Ministry of Magic, and I bet chicken wings. Scratch the last thing. That was what I was talking about with Raven as we exchanged notes. It must have looked crazy for a bunch of Slytherins exchanging notes during the end of dinner. But that's how the Royals roll. Draco looked at us with a weird since he was flooded with parchment from all three of us. He flipped through the notes till he smirked at one. I leaned over to look and there it was plain as day. A drawing with stick figures kissing. One person had to draw that and it had to be Raven Williams. He would be the one to find it amusing and especially write Draco and I's names on it.
However, Draco has always been conceited and smug. So naturally he had to speak right as Umbridge finished her speech. "She wants me," he said a bit too loud. Not only did all the Slytherins hear but so did Professor Umbridge.
I giggled as I mutter rather lowly so Draco could hear me, "You want Umbridge?"
Malfoy squawked a bit confused as Umbridge walked over to the Slytherin table, and smiled. She said, "Excuse me, Mr. Malfoy?"
He looked over to Raven who was levitating a dish over to the Gryffindors. Malfoy exchanged looks with me, and finally spoke, " Erm, Potter is levitating a dish!" With that, Raven had dumped a dish of Owl poo on Ronald Weasley. Umbridge flew towards the Gryffindor table as I stood with a smirk.
"Pansy and Draco, we must bring the first years to the dorms," I said as I rubbed my hands together. I smirked as Draco was sneering at the Gryffindorks. I quickly muttered to Anna and Raven that the common room password was "The Royals Will Kill You" and it was there job to inform the rest of Slytherin. Thus, that meant, Anna smacking Blaise Zabini upside the head and informing HIM to talk to the rest of the house. Oops. I gathered the first years as Draco followed me. I told Pansy to mind the middle part of the first years so that we wouldn't lose any. And somehow, Raven and Anna were behind the group of first years. I sent those two warning looks that there would be no full body binding curses tonight that would be left for early tomorrow morning. I couldn't wait to get rid of those first years and finally settle in with my friends so we could finally start our fifth year in Hogwarts.
