Heh. Sorry it's been awhile since I've updated, and it will be a little while for me to update again because school is starting in a couple days and I need to clear my head for that.
But I have this chapter somewhat long for you guys, I hope you like it.
Leave me reveiws?
And tell me anything you want to tell me.
Thank you guys so much :D
I stared at the Headmaster in front of me blankly, waiting for his answer.
"… Explain yourself once again? I'm having trouble understanding," he spoke after a few seconds. Bloody hell, really? What was not to understand? I sighed and launched into my story once more.
"Okay, once more and that's it, it's all in the letter there, I hope you know. Now, why I am here… I had been living at my grandparent's house, because my parents had died when I was little, I didn't know them. Well, when I turned 11 they died and I went to that French school, of which I cannot pronounce the name for the life of me. I grew tired of it and decided I needed a transfer, so they let me. It's all in the paper there. I live in a Muggle orphanage, but I am fully pureblooded. The Black family doesn't know my parents had a child, only my grandparents knew. But they and my parents died, like I said. Do you need to know my name again too? Cause if you do it—"
"That's quite enough Violetta—"
"Violet."
"That's what I said. Now, we are going to take you to this feast and get you sorted into a house as soon as one of the Heads arrives. There are four houses, Slytherin…" this is where I began to drown him out; I've heard it all before. I already knew what house I was getting sorted into and it was Slytherin… why would I be put in any other house?
"Miss Black?" I snapped out of my thoughts and looked towards the Headmaster.
"Yes?"
"I was just saying Mister Riddle is here to take you to the feast, please do hurry," he gave me a light smile. I looked over at Tom, or should I say… future Lord Voldy himself.
Whoa, hello… he was very attractive when he was younger. I felt like jumping him then and there.
Oh Merlin, I am turning into my mother.
Tom and I walked to the front of the Great Hall and he pointed over to the stool and the hat. Meaning, I was to be sorted… again. Yay. I grabbed the hat and sat down on the stool while putting the hat on my head. I looked out into the crowd as it spoke in my head.
"Violetta, it's nice to see your thoughts again, they're always so welcoming." Well that was sarcasm if I ever heard it.
"Now, to place you in a house where you belong, for the second time… never thought this would happen…Let's see, lots of courage I see and a powerful side of you. A need to prove yourself to everyone around you; a very strong will power… not too many have that—" Merlin, you stupid hat just put me in Slytherin before I set you on fire.
"A horrible, horrible temper you should work on. Oh, what's this, something new here I see, and it's something I can't tell you… marvelous. Cunning, manipulative, strong, powerful, a rightful Slytherin student right here—" Then put me there you stupid hat.
"Better be… SLYTHERIN!" Thank you, stupid hat.
I tore off the hat and walked over to the Slytherin table and sat near the end away from everyone else. I whispered to myself, "Bloody hell that took ages."
I felt eyes on me and looked at the rest of the table who were all staring at me. I blinked once and waved bitterly at them, meaning I didn't want to deal with their bullshit at the moment. I turned around to find that I was sitting across from someone. In fact, it was Tom Riddle, looking at me quite oddly.
"What?" I snapped at him.
"Oh nothing really," he said with a slight smirk on his face. I gave him a look and put my head on the table and groaned. I heard him give a short bitter chuckle. I felt on the table as someone slammed their hands down and my head popped up and saw the trademark Malfoy hair. I inwardly groaned, knowing how Malfoy's are. And too make matters worse I saw my grandfather… on both sides of my family. Today is just the most fantastic day ever.
"Are you serious right now?" my outburst startled Tom and his little band of goons. They all gave me a confused.
"And, who are you?" the Malfoy asked me.
"Who are you?" I shot back at him.
"Oh a tempered little minx aren't you?" I inwardly gagged, "if you must know, I am Abraxas Malfoy."
"Violetta."
"What? No last name?"
"I think my first name is sufficient enough," I smirked at him.
"I don't think so. Last names declare blood type, and knowing yours would give you your blood status; which would make your life here much, much easier," Abraxas said with a threatening voice.
"If you must know," I said mimicking what he said a few seconds ago in an uptight voice, "it's Black."
"Black?" another voice said from beside me.
"Yes, the family is big enough to have other relatives even they don't know they have other families. And I'm a pureblood, thank you very much. Before you ask," I spoke before they could say something else, "my parents are dead."
"Ah, well. Welcome to Slytherin, I'm Cygnus Black, an apparent cousin or something," actually, you're my grandfather and you used to call me Letta and read me books about the Dark Arts. But of course, I'm not going to tell you that.
"And I'm Fergus Avery," a deep voice spoke from beside Tom, "and I'm not related to you."
I looked at him and raised an eyebrow, "Ah, well, like that would matter; I don't find boys who play girls quite attractive in my book. And trust me, I know boys like you."
Cygnus snickered at my comment and I looked at Avery's face, his jaw was dropped and his eyes were wide.
"You should learn to curb your tongue and—"
"Yeah, yeah, I know. I've heard it all before; give it a rest would ya?" I heard Cygnus snicker once more. I stood up from the table and walked out following the other students who were leaving the Great Hall.
I was walking down the dungeon when I felt someone's eyes burning into the back of my head, "I know you're there Tom, no need to be all sneaky about it."
"I… wasn't being sneaky, I'm just heading back to the Common Room, same as you are," he said with an edge. I gave a bitter laugh and looked back at him; my piercing, bright blue eyes met his cold, dark blue eyes. I smirked and turned back around heading to the Portrait.
"Let's see, what could it possibly be? Oh I know, Pureblood," I said with fake enthusiasm, and when I said the password the Portrait swung open and I walked into the Common Room. It was quite empty though, so I frowned to myself. I walked up into the girl's dormitory and still finding no one there. I sighed to myself, and figured I could explore the grounds in this time. I shrugged to myself and decided to change forms. I got onto my bed and started transforming into a cat. I felt my bones change form and get smaller, fur sprouted all over my body as I became smaller in size. Once I finished become a cat, a couple of girls walked into the room.
Great timing I'd say.
I meowed and landed on my front paws as I hopped off my bed, I heard the girl's go "aw" at the sight of me. I do admit, I make an adorable cat. I trotted in the Common Room and saw Tom there with a book. Was that the book I needed? Merlin, hopefully it was, then my job would have gotten a whole lot easier. I wedged myself between a chair and a wall hoping to get a better look.
"Oh kitty, kitty, what are you doing back there?" Oh fuck you have got to be kidding me. I saw Tom look over at me as someone picked me up.
"Oh now whose are you?" well, good thing I had tags, "hm, you belong to that Violetta girl, I wonder where she is. Well, I'll just play with you until she gets here."
Oh no. Oh noooooo, I don't think so. I hate being petted. Draco did it enough when I was around him; he did it to annoy me.
I am not being petted by some insolent girl. No way.
"Here, let me go find the girl and I'll take the cat with me," Tom's voice spoke while picking me up from the girl's arms. I heard her whimper and give me up, I smirked in triumph… if cat's could smirk, I'm pretty sure they can. I've never looked in a mirror and made faces at it while in cat form, that just be too weird.
I looked up at Tom and I had this strange feeling he knew it was me. He walked with me in his arms out into the Dungeon's hallway.
"Oh Violetta, you never told me you were an Animagus," Tom said with a smirk on his face.
Shit, shit, shiiiiiit.
I meowed at him and looked to the floor, asking him to put me down. And he did as he was told. I changed back into my regular form, and then I realized… I had no clothes on. I opened my mouth to say something before Tom handed me his robe. "Thanks," I said putting the robe over my body and buttoning it up.
"So. You can turn into a cat?"
"No."
"But…?"
"I can turn into many different animals," I explained to him, "and before you say anything, it runs in the family. My second cousin was an Animagus."
"Many animals you say? Turn into a snake."
I smirked and shifted my body into a small black snake with blue eyes; I saw a grin appear on his face. I shifted back and put back in his robe. I gave him a pointed look, "don't tell anyone, you hear?"
"Oh that you have my word," he said with a slight smirk on his face.
"Now, take me back," I demanded as I turned back into a cat.
