Chapter 3: Oy Vey!
Morning came. The light spilled into the window of Raven Claw dormitory, splashing on Alicia's pale face. Her eyes closed tighter before opening to glare at the offending window. She pulled her cotton pillow over her head with a groan.
"Alicia… get up, you must get ready so we may go down to breakfast," Ashley's soothing voice filled Alicia's sleep clouded mind. Alicia did not move, being too stubborn to listen to her sister. Ashley glared, "Fine!" She whispered harshly. Alicia smirked under her pillow happy she had won. Suddenly a cold rush of water hit her back. She shrieked loudly as she sat up with a start. Her hair was dripping wet and her clothes stuck to her body. The wolf inside her growled loudly. She lunged at her sister in anger. Ashley sidestepped the attack easily. Her sister was still half-asleep; her attacks were not as accurate. "Now get off the floor and go get ready, we are late for breakfast." With those last words, Ashley left the room to wait in the common room.
Breakfast was uneventful. School owls delivered their schedules as they ate. Alicia was still in a pretty fowl mood. Her sister on the other hand was happy; her eyes were scanning the great hall. Looking to her sister she asked, "Alicia what is your schedule?" Alicia pulled her schedule from her robes, "Monday, Wednesday and Friday, Advanced double potions with Slytherin, Transfiguration with huffle puff, charms with Gryffindor, Defense against the Dark arts with Slytherin. Then Tuesdays and Thursdays, History of magic with Hufflepuffs, Care of magical creatures with Gryffindor and Slytherin, and herbology with Gryffindor. How about you?" Ashley placed her fork down, pulling out her own schedule, "Monday, Wednesday, and Friday Defense Against the Dark Arts with Gryffindor, Potions with Slytherin, Herbology with Hufflepuffs; then on Tuesdays and Thursdays Transfiguration with Gryffindor, Care for magical creature with Gryffindor and Slytherin and History of Magic with Slytherin, and Charms with Hufflepuffs." Alicia made quick calculations. Her eyes fell to the dark oak table. Her eyes traced the lines of the old worn wood. "Alicia, what's the matter?" Alicia turned to her sister her stormy eyes sad, "This is going to be the first year we only have one class together… how are we suppose to get through this year?" Ashley stared at her younger sister. Her eyes were soft. It was times like these that she remembered just how fragile her sister was, and not the tuff girl she pretended to be, "It's okay Alicia; we will get through this. Just as we have every other year… All I want you to think about is your grades. Nothing else, as long as you do your best, mother will be proud." "And what of father?" Ashley was taken aback by her sisters' outburst. She had always known her sister was close to her father, far closer than she had ever been. She had loved him yes, but she had always been closer to their mother. "Alicia… don't get yourself all upset. Father is gone; he died young yes I know. He made a mistake…" "No, we didn't protect him," Alicia said in a harsh whisper. Ashley frowned as she watched her sister stand from the wooden bench. She watched as she slung her bag over her shoulder and left the great hall, no doubt going to her first class early.
Alicia walked numbly into the dungeon. She shivered as the cold air enveloped her. Her head was down and her dirty blonde hair shielded her face from piercing eyes… if there had been any. She wished she had not blown up at her sister like that. She really had not done anything to blow up at! She sighed as she stopped in the middle of the corridor. She stared at the stone floor. It was a tarnished and grey. Water from the lake must have leaked into the area for it smelt of slight mold. Her mind went back to her argument with her sister. "Idiot…" before she could finish a smooth voice interrupted her. "I will say. It is not wise to walk the dungeon alone you know. You never know who might be lurking in the corners." Alicia spun around only to come face to face with the one and only Draco Malfoy.
"Well now what is a lonely Raven Claw like you doing in a big bad dungeon like this?" He asked as he circled her. Alicia did not move, her heart was racing and her blood was flowing wildly through her veins. He stopped as he came in front of her a smirk firmly on his face, "You know it's not nice to ignore someone when they talk to you." These words caught her attention. She fought down the wolf who was begging to be left free. "Why should I answer someone who has no right asking the question?" She countered her eyes gleaming. The blonde boy sneered at her. "You insolent little Raven Claw!" Alicia only glared. She refused to shy away from him. She had got into this and she would finish it just as her father had told her so long ago.
Ashley entered her DADA class. A few Gryffindors were already there. Among them, the 'Golden Trio'. She sat towards the back of the room. Her eyes never straying from the table in front of her. She was surprised out of her thoughts when she heard a small plop next to her. She turned slightly and stared at the girl Hermione Granger. "Hi how are things going?" "Uhh… Okay, I guess…" Ashley stuttered slightly. Hermione giggled. "Your wondering why I'm talking to you. Aren't you?" Hermione asked with a grin. "Yeah, sort of," Ashley mumbled, hoping not to sound too rude. "I just figured that you would feel alone. I don't see your friend anywhere so I guess I felt like talking to you." "Actually she is my little sister. She was born in time to come be in 7th year with me. It' pretty cool I guess." "Oh I'm sorry; I thought she was a friend." "Well, I was wondering if you would like to hang out with my friends and me after your classes today. We intend to go down by the lake, and then go to Harry and Ron's Quidditch tryouts. Would you like to go?" Hermione asked. Ashley blinked once… twice… thrice… "Umm… sure I guess so. I'm not doing anything later." She muttered in silent shock." "Brilliant! You won't regret it I promise!" Hermione boasted, "I have to go sit with Harry and Ron now… Would you like to join us?" Ashley smiled and nodded as she collected her things and followed Hermione to her new seat.
Draco and Alicia were in the midst of a glaring contest. Neither of them intended to give in. Draco was strong willed and stubborn. Alicia was just plain pissed off. "Draaakkyyy!!" The piercing voice of Pansy Parkinson entered their ears. They covered their ears in attempt to block out the horrible shriek. A girl with short black hair and a pushed in pug like face walked up to them. Her eyes were an inky black that clashed terribly with her heavy make-up. Her nose was up-turned as if she smelt something disgusting. "Draky! There you are what are you doing with a Raven Claw? Is she messing with my big strong man," She said in her killer of a voice. "No Parkinson I'm fine. Will you stop clinging to me!?" He shouted finally. He peeled the girl off him and held her at a distance. Pansy crossed her arms and turned to Alicia who looked unaffected, now that she had a chance to collect herself. "Who are you?" Pansy asked in a frustrated voice. "Alicia Ryuu." Alicia replied shortly. "Well…." "This isn't over Ryuu… You will see me again." Draco interrupted as he began walking away. Pansy hissed at her in a gagging kind of way before chasing hopelessly after Draco.
