*GASP* Finally, if there is someone reading out there I managed to do an upload for you! I know it's a little short but I'm still thinking of the details and I need to watch the movie or read the book again before I write more because I want my story to be accurate
DISCLAIMER: I do not own any characters or quotes from the books. just my ideas!
Chapter 2:
I woke up early to write a letter to parents to tell them I had arrived safely. Mom always worried about her children way more than she should have. My family was all muggles besides me and it made me smile to think of their reaction whenever and owl flew in through the chimney.
When I got to breakfast a lot of people were still asleep and I took a quiet corner by myself as pancakes appeared on my plate and an owl dropped by a Daily Prophet for me. After about half an hour a lot more people came down and we received our schedules that materialized in our laps. The first years thought it was the coolest ever.
I wasn't satisfied with my schedule. I looked over and Mina's and sighed in frustration. I only had two classes with her besides study hall and those were Transfiguration and Care of Magical Creatures. There wasn't much time to talk in there; especially since that was Mina's favorite class. Looks like I wasn't going to have my best friend in all my classes.
"Hey Serena," Pansy said sitting in front of me. That girl was a bit annoying but she wasn't that bad, she knew how to make small talk and had good connections with all the right people. Add that to the fact she was pretty, a pureblood, cunning and TADA! Pansy was the type labeled as 'the model Slytherin'. "Did you get all the classes you signed up for?"
"Yea, but not in the order I wanted. How about you?" I asked and we exchanged schedules to see what we had in common. There was Divination, Defense against the Dark Arts Intermediate Transfiguration, Potions, and Care of Magical Creatures together. This was basically the same schedule. I bit back a groan and smiled at her. "Looks like I'll see you a lot," I said as she handed back my schedule with a smile.
"Sounds like fun," she said getting up to go sit next to the Slytherin Prince.
"Hey have you seen this?" My friend Erin asked me showing me a part of the Daily Prophet.
SIRUIS BLACK IS BACK. I grabbed it from her and began reading it. He was a murderer put in Azkaban for killing a man named Peter Pettigrew and for supporting the Dark Lord. He was the fifth person to break out during the last year. The supposed reason for him breaking out was so he could escape the 'Dementor's Kiss'. It also said he might go back to rescue his cousin, Bellatrix Lestrang. In the picture he kept screaming something. I couldn't tell if it was just words or screaming in general. It spooked me the hell out looking in his pools of black eyes.
Mina scoffed, "Instead of having Dementors here, they should have them in Azkaban, maybe then there would be fewer breakouts." Erin nodded in agreement and the food disappeared as everyone began to get up.
"What do you know about Dementors, Mina?" I asked her as we made our way to the dungeons and where the Slytherin common room was.
"Nothing much; I just know they guard Azkaban. And they're really big cloak wearing things. I've heard they don't have souls and give this punishment called 'The Dementor's Kiss'. It's the most horrible punishment ever. Death is even less painful." She said with a shudder.
I knew I didn't want to have an answer to a question but I had to ask it. "What is it? Like what happens?" I asked grabbing my books as Mina grabbed hers.
"They take your soul," she said and grabbed her books as well and left the room.
I stood there for a moment, by my bed holding my books. 'Take the soul?' I thought, turning to look out of the window. It was sunny today but something reminded me of last night's nightmare and I had the weirdest feeling that told me to get the hell to class. I was rushing and accidently bumped into the Slytherin Prince who was just entering the common room when I was trying to get out.
"Sorry," I mumbled as I got up.
Malfoy stood up with his two dimbots fighting off a smile. "Watch where you're going," he snarled at me as he, Crabbe, and Goyle entered the common room.
I knew he had problems with Muggle-borns and taken a disliking to me as soon as I had been sorted. He even used to tease me in my second year that I would be one of the 'Mud-bloods' who would end up in the hospital. Thank goodness I didn't. And if I didn't admire and respect him, I might have hated him that brainless toerag.
I was a tad late to my first class which was A History of Magic Intermediate with Professor Cassin and all we did there was look through our books and take notes. The class was composed of Slytherins in years 3 and 4 and he was there. When I passed him to go sit with someone in front of him, I saw him scowl.
Next was Divination. The room was all stuffy and this was only a class I had taken because Mina said it would have been fun since the Slytherin Prince was there. I immediately regretted listening to her.
"Now take the cup of the person sitting opposite you," she said. She was kind of creepy and liked to dramatically move her hands. I could hear a lot of students from other houses saying she was loony. I felt kind of sorry for her and then for Weasely when she began bothering him.
I know I sound like a pessimist but it was total bull how she expected us to look in our partner's tea and predict their future off what was left in there. I can't believe people actually thought it was worth learning and it ACTUALLY worked.
I hadn't drunk my tea so I didn't have anyone to switch with. She suddenly gasped and dropped the cup with large eyes and said something to Potter I didn't hear. A boy began to read from the book. I heard him mention something along the lines of "A dog… of death,". Potter took the cup and stared at it.
Meanwhile, I along with the rest of the class was staring at the Professor like she was crazy. I was so glad when we got out of there.
Sooo.. I wanna know if anyone is still reading and wants me to continue but it will be a while cuz I wanna do my other stories too! PLZ REVIEW!
