Chapter 2.
"Come on. We're late too. Come on!!" said Anju.
"Hai, hai," agreed Soren.
Anju grabbed Soren's shirt and almost literally dragged Soren to Defense Against the Dark Arts. The first thing Soren saw while almost being flung into the classroom was Professor Lockhart. The shocked look on his face made Soren burst out laughing. Anju kicked him in the stomach and Soren let out a gasp of pain and took his seat in the back. After an hour and a half they finally escaped.
"I thought that we would never get out of there!!" said Soren.
"I know what you mean. I hate him and I think he's a fake," replied Anju.
"He's the most egotistical man on Earth," agreed Soren.
The next few days came and went soon enough and on Saturday the gang met for the first time after their sorting.
"How were the classes?" asked Soren to Karin and Kenta.
"Why was Lockhart ever chosen to head a class?" Karin complained.
"I think that Karin is right. I hate him, I hate him!!" raged Anju, "The moron is always raving about his triumphs, which I bet none of them are true!!"
"I can almost grantee that he is a fraud," said Soren.
"I bet he reminds everyone so they can't copy him or prove him wrong," said Kenta.
"Well I will continue to observe him and give my opinion in later days," said Soren, "why did you two shutter?"
"Wha… what do you mean?" stuttered Anju in a higher voice then normal.
"You two shuttered at the same time just a second ago and there's no point denying it," said Soren, "I am a very good observer you know."
Anju sighed, Karin gave a reluctant giggle, and Kenta opened a book. Soren thought that he saw a fang when Anju sighed. He glanced at Anju just as she did the same. They both looked away blushing.
"I wonder if he ever suspects me of being a vampire?" thought Anju.
"I wonder if she thinks I think she's a vampire. I have no evidence though. This is going to be difficult," thought Soren.
"If you two don't have any thoughts that discourage normal behavior I think we should go to the library and study," said Kenta.
Groans met his words but since no one had an excuse they all went to the library. Soren was researching for an essay while Anju was trying to find a book on antidotes. Karin was trying to get a book for their History of Magic homework while Kenta was doing his DADA homework.
"I hate Snape!!" said Anju.
"So?" replied Soren.
"How would you like it if he singled you out every time in Potions!!" snapped Anju.
"They're arguing like a married couple! But I'd better not say that out loud! But I think they could be a good couple!!" thought Kenta. He snickered to himself.
"I saw that Kenta," said Soren.
"Saw what?" said Kenta.
"I saw you snicker and don't deny it because I saw it, ok," said Soren.
"I think we're done studying for today," said Karin.
Anju yawned, Soren nodded, and Kenta agreed so they went for a walk around the grounds. They saw Lockhart leaving Hagrid's cabin and laughed at the look on his face. They went to the lake and saw the giant squid's tentacles floating at the surface on they watched them for a bit.
"I wonder what it's like under the water," said Anju.
"So do I. But I've been underwater! Not with Anju though. I wonder what it will be like," thought Soren. He gave his head a shake.
"Are you ok? You seem to be more closed these past few days. Even to Kenta," said Karin.
"Huh? Oh, I've just been thinking," said Soren.
"Oh, ok!" replied Karin.
They all went back inside for lunch and then they went underneath a tree to relax. They all talked and laughed for a good few minuets when Draco Malfoy and co. came.
"So you're the transfer students. Are you pureblood?" asked Malfoy.
"And what does it matter to you if I am what you call 'pure blood'?" said Soren first. Malfoy turned red at this remark.
Malfoy replied, "I am asking so I can tell if you're worth my time."
Soren said slyly, "I am me and if you have a problem with that you can bug off."
"NO ONE EVER TALKS TO ME LIKE THAT!" yelled Malfoy.
"Well assuming I just did then I will take it you are leaving?" asked Soren smartly to the others laughter.
"YOU'LL PAY FOR THAT YOU MUDBLOOD!!" said Malfoy drawing his wand, but Soren was quicker. Before Malfoy's hand was halfway to his wand Soren had his pointed into Malfoy's neck.
"I am now not going to ask. Leave this area, please," said Soren his temper rising. His eyes were over bright but his voice stayed level.
"Fine. Come on guys. We don't need filth around us," said Malfoy.
"May I ask you your name?" asked Soren.
"Malfoy. Draco Malfoy." Malfoy said.
"I am Soren Greywood so that the next time we meet I know who I'm cursing, thank you." Soren replied.
