Chapter 3

"Oh, Hello," said Hermione, "Harry remember them?"

"Yep. So what are you doing here?" asked Harry.

"Well I just about cursed Draco Malfoy. And he called me mudblood. What does that mean?" asked Soren to anyone.

Harry, Ron, and Hermione told him about Malfoy's past, and how much they hate him and how much he hates them, and what mudblood means. Which Soren found disgusting.

"Are you ok?" asked Ron because Soren wasn't breathing. He was too disgusted.

"Hi Harry!" said Colin.

"Hello Colin," replied Harry sounding exasperated more then normal.

A week later and the Quidditch season was here. Everyone was talking about Quidditch. Soren, Karin, Kenta, and Anju were asking Harry, Ron, and Hermione about Quidditch. After a little bit they got the hang of the rules.

"Does the wizarding world have chess?" asked Soren.

A hundred games later and Soren had almost won. Ron was surprised at the strategies Soren used.

"Queen to H-5," Soren said, "Checkmate."

"You won! Good job," replied Ron.

"How did you do that?" asked Harry amazed.

"It is a simple choice of how to let you opponent kill your units. Then when he's trapped with his own people you pounce." Replied Soren.

"Cool. I think I know how you did that," said someone.

"Who are you?" asked Soren.

"Wood. Oliver Wood. Harry, Quidditch practice," said Wood.

"Ok. See ya around Soren, Kenta, Karin, Anju," said Harry. And with that he left.

"We have to go too. Bye," said Hermione. Ron left with her.

"We'll go too! Wait up!!" yelled Soren after her.

The Quidditch practice was cut short when the Slytherin team came and then Ron's wand backfired again so the gang went to Hagrid's.

"So who was he trying to curse?" asked Hagrid.

Soren answered first, "Malfoy. I can't blame him. He called Hermione mudblood. That scummy little brat!!"

"Well it's probably better that your wand did backfire. If it didn't you probably would have been expelled," reasoned Hagrid.

"Well I would have cursed him if Ron didn't," replied Anju.

Soren was shocked. He never thought that she would be this evil.

"Note to self don't piss Anju off. She is really scary right now!" thought Soren.

Anju was in a rage that made everyone scared. Karin was in the same rage. Soren was expecting this but it still shocked him. Even Kenta was quivering with fear. The boys never expected them to be like this.

"It's time to go in. It's getting late," said a stunned Kenta.

They all went up to school. The DADA classes became even duller if that was possible. Lockhart has made Soren play characters in almost all of his books. Soren was called to the front to play a vampire this time. He found it surprisingly easy.

"I find the entire story bogus, and he never has anyone else play the characters in anyone of his books, and I find it very annoying to have to play his doll," said Soren.

"I thought that you played a very convincing vampire," replied Anju. She started blushing. Then she saw Karin and ran over to her.

"What was that about? And why was it so easy to play the vampire when everything else has been kinda hard? Oh well. I can think on that later," thought Soren.

"Are you ok? You seem more uptight then usual," said Kenta shattering into Soren's thoughts.

"Wha… Oh, ya I'm ok. I find it much easier to think then confide my feelings to someone else because you never know if they will talk about what they heard. And I am not sure of what I am thinking of," replied Soren.

"I find that hard to understand. If you talk though your thoughts then you could make sense of them. But if you don't want to I will understand."

"You are probably the only one who understands. Thank you."

"We're late Soren!! Come on!!" yelled Anju.

She dragged Anju off to the dungeons for Potions. The Potions classes were actually getting better if you can believe. Snape seemed to take a liking to his work. The snide remarks had subsided some because he was doing the best he could and it was paying off.

"Next time I say you help me. And what's on you mind lately?" asked Anju.

"What do say to a walk around the grounds tonight at, say midnight?" asked Soren.

"Really?"

"Yep. So what do you say?"

"Sure! Midnight it is!"

"Thank you."

"WE HAVE A COUPLE!!" yelled Karin.

"We aren't going out!!" said Soren blushing bright red, "I just asked her to walk with me."

"Ya. So why at midnight then huh!"

"Because it is private. Or it was."

"Aha! You are asking her out!! Have a nice date sis!!"

"It's not a date!!" yelled a blushing Anju after her sister.

"I can't believe I asked her out in public!!" thought Soren.

That night Anju met with Soren and they started to walk around the grounds. Anju started talking first.

"Are you ok?"

"No."

"Really?"

"Yes. I have had suspicions that you are a vampire. I have no proof so you don't have to answer, but I am getting scared. I am feeling that terrible things are going to happen. I wonder if you could tell me the truth so I can understand things."

"I am a vampire. But I can walk in the daylight. It is freaky, but I know that it's a good thing. I can be helpful."

"I thought so. I think I can be helpful to you too. I hope I can helpful anyway."

"…You can…"

"What? Uh…WHAT ARE—

"Wha………where am I?"

"He's finally awake," said Karin.

"I thought he was dead," replied Kenta.

"Where's Anju?" asked Soren.

He tried to get up but Karin pushed him down.

"We don't know where my sis is but I know you were the last one with her so I would ask you the same thing," answered Karin.

"………………"

"Are you going to talk?"

"………………"

"I think he wants to be left alone," stated Kenta.

"Thank you," said Soren.

Harry was in the bed next to him. Soren was told that he had been out for a week. The next day Harry was released. Now Soren was alone except for Colin who was petrified. He wondered why he wasn't being let go too.
