Dumbledore's Secrets

Random Secret 1: Rivalry

Finally, a new secret. Those past 3 parts didn't really explain the secret, or so I thought. Anyway, we'll probably revisit it sometime in the future.

Katie says that I should make this chapter shorter; she seems to think you guys don't like long chapters. So, this chapter will be shorter.

Also, as you may have noticed, the title is not just a secret, it is a random secret. This means that whenever we think we should take a break from Dumbledore's Secrets, the chapter will host a secret that doesn't necessarily have anything to do with Dumbledore, or the story for that matter. Enjoy!

"Knock, knock." Said Harry as he opened the door to Slughorn's (or as we now should call it, Professor Slughorn's) compartment.

Inside was quite a variety of Hogwarts students. I don't feel like writing down who they were at the moment, so you'll have to wait a while and find out then. Anyway, when he opened the door (with Neville following him) he saw, you know, I don't know who he saw. Well, I told you you would have to wait a while to find out who was in there. Stop pestering me, the time will come, eventually (I hope). Okay, on with the story:

Harry walked into the compartment and saw who he would be dining with. He liked what he saw, for the most part, except, mingled in with the crowd of children was someone he hated, despised, detested, actually, he didn't really hate, or despise this person, this person was just kinda in Harry's life, nothing major, or important about him (yet).

This person's name was (nope, not Billy Rockstar) it was Blaise Zabini. Now, Blaise Zabini was a Slytherin and, as you may have guessed, Harry was a Gryfindor (well that was pointless). Okay, well, Slytherins and Gryfindors hated each other for a very serious reason. You want to know what that reason was. Well, let's see if Harry or Neville can answer it shall we?

"Well," began Neville "since you asked, Harry, I'll tell you. Slytherins and Gryfindors hate each other because Gryfin-"

"Um, Neville" said Harry "yeah, didn't ask you anything. –Well, since you're doing such a great job explaining this, though, I don't know why, I'll allow you to finish explaining it."

"Aww, thanks Harry." Said Neville. "Well, Slytherins and Gryfindors hate each other because…………………………….. (Sorry, but I just need to say this: Sometimes the road less traveled, is less traveled for a reason. Now, let that be a lesson to you all)………………..Gryfindor starts with 'G' and Slytherin starts with 'S'."

"Uh huh….." Said Harry, dumbstruck.

"Sure there are other reasons, but don't you understand?" Asked Neville. "'G' and 'S' totally don't mesh. I mean, think about it, 'G', 'S', no way man, not happening." Neville suddenly stopped, for he had just noticed that everyone in the room was starring at him strangely. Then, out of nowhere (well, actually, it wasn't really nowhere, it was someone's mouth) someone said:

"It's true, it's all true." Blaise Zabini stepped forward. He said:

"Who said that?"

Billy Rockstar, the elusive Billy Rockstar……….him, of all people stepped forward from the crowd and said "I said it." He smiled then vanished.

Strange ending huh? You finally see Billy Rockstar and then he vanishes, the elusive little rascal. Quite the cliffhanger. See ya next time! OK, time to get down to reviewing, or we will have to discontinue the story.
