Unexpected consequences

Ch. 2 a new friend

Abby ate breakfast in silence while she watched and listened to the other people who were sitting around her. All she knew about this school was that it is for magical people and that of the four hoses that were there she was put into the one that her father would absolutely hate.

Of course he wouldn't make a big deal out of what house she was put in as long as she does what she is supposed to while she was there. Even if she was put into Slytherin…

She watched person after person get up and walk out of the room. She figured they were going to class but she had no idea where she was supposed to go… She looked around and saw that there were roughly a dozen people still in the hall and she hadn't eaten anything yet, she was so excited she wasn't hungry. A quick glance at the staff table showed that the only people still there were her godmother and that Malfoy professor that had showed her in. She got up and walked over to her godmother.

Hermione looked up and smiled at Abby as she got closer. "How are you today ms. Carter?"

"Dandy, where am I supposed to go now?"

Hermione glanced in the direction of Draco and said, "Well I'm not sure the exact schedule for you yet so you wont start classes until tomorrow. But I'm sure if you asked professor Malfoy very nicely he would show you where the Slytherin common room is since he is the head of that house."

Abby smiled and turned just enough to hide the fact that she was rolling her eyes and walked over to where Draco was sitting. She sighed and said to him, "I was told that you could show me where I am supposed to go. If you don't want to show me fine ill wander till I find it."

Draco looked up curiously and said, "Where am I showing you to?"

"Common room I think. She said that the schedule for me isn't ready yet for some reason."

Draco nodded and got up out of his chair. He walked around to the other side of the table and motioned for her to follow him. He walked out of the great hall and started making his way towards the dungeons.

"So the common room is in the dungeon?" Abby asked, stating the obvious. Draco just nodded. "Isn't it cold down there?"

Draco laughed and said, "You would think so but no not really. Not any more so then the rest of the school." He kept walking down through the dungeons and stopped at a blank space of wall. "Here it is, the password is 'pureblood.'"

As he said the password the wall opened up and showed a large room with green trimmings and black leather couches. "So what do you think?"

"It looks nice I guess. I wouldn't choose leather couches though. I don't allow any leather around me normally… it comes with the whole animal rights thing I'm into. I'm also a vegetarian so… leather seems kind of the same thing I am avoiding with that."

Abby had been walking around while she talked and she noticed that professor Malfoy looked shocked. "What?" she asked.

"Nothing, just haven't had anyone actually think about leather that much before is all."

Abby laughed but stopped fast and stuck her hand into her pocket. She pulled out what Draco knew was a cell phone but he didn't know how she got it to work inside the castle. She flipped it open and said, "Hello daddy… yea I did… well it's not what we expected… nope… Slytherin… I know that but there isn't anything I can do about it…"

Draco listened to her side of the conversation but noticed that she was doing all she could to get off the phone as fast as possible. When she hung up she said to him, "I'm sorry about that. It was my dad and he gets really crazy if I ignore a call from him."

"Was he upset about you being in Slytherin?"

"No not really. He said as long as I don't turn completely evil he's fine with it. He says that Slytherin has a bad rep but not everyone in it is bad." Abby stopped moving and turned to look at Draco. He just looked back.

"I was a Slytherin…" He said to her after a few minutes of silence. "I guess I wasn't completely evil. The one person I couldn't stand was Harry bloody Potter and he was a Gryffindor in the same year that I was."

Abby looked shocked. "You knew Harry Potter?" she asked. Draco nodded but he noticed that the way she said it wasn't like the rest of the people that did. She knew something about Harry… and he knew it.

"Yes I knew him. Do you?"

Abby looked away and laughed softly while she nodded. "Yea… I know him…" Draco could tell that there was more of a story there but he wasn't going to pry into it if she didn't want to share.

"Well if you do down those stairs," he said while he pointed to the right. "You will find a room that says 6th year girls on it. You will be put in there. Your stuff should be there already." Abby thanked him and went to her room, leaving a confused Draco behind.

The following morning Abby climbed out of bed and got ready to go to breakfast. She crept past the other girls in her room and took a quick shower. When she got to the great hall she saw that there were all of 6 people in there already. She was the only one from her house but there was one at the Gryffindor table three at Ravenclaw and two at the Hufflepuff.

She really didn't want to have to sit all by herself for breakfast and she knew that she was allowed to go sit at other tables so she walked over to the boy who was sitting alone at the Gryffindor table and sat down next to him. He turned to look at her and she stuck out her hand, "Hello. I'm Abby."

They shook hands and he told her that his name is Neville. "Do you mind if I sit with you? I kind of don't want to sit alone and well… you seem nicer then the people in my house."

Neville smiled and said, "No that's fine with me. I don't mind at all. I don't have many friends so there aren't many people I can introduce you too but whatever floats your boat."

Abby laughed and they started talking about anything and everything. She soon found out that Neville's father, also named Neville, was in school with her father and professor Malfoy. She also found out that he is in the same year that she is and a lot of the classes were Slytherin and Gryffindor that year so they would be able to see a lot of each other.

"This is awesome," Abby said, as she looked at the schedule that professor Malfoy had just handed her. Her first class was with Neville so she wouldn't have to get lost!

"What school did you go to before this one?" Neville asked her halfway to the charms classroom.

"Its called Chicago united. It is in America near Chicago, but I don't know if you know anything about where that is."

Neville looked confused. "I haven't heard of that school. Is it a new wizarding school?"

Abby laughed and said, "It's not a wizarding school…"
