POV Katie
The rest of the summer past quickly mom taught me some basic things to control my inheritance while I wondered secretly why I felt so agitated around Georgia and Rachel, they weren't like me creature hybrids... were they?
1st September quickly came around. Lucinda and I quickly got onto the train, Lucinda quickly ran towards where the first years normally sit while I walked towards mine and the others designated compartment. On the way there I literally got run into by Georgia who was practically jumping up and down. She pulled me into the compartment and restarted her conversation with Rachel, I raised an eye brow at Rachel as though saying, 'What did you give her?' Frankie quickly threw a box at me I looked inside to see super sweet raw toffee; one of them was missing... Dear Merlin what would happen if you gave her the entire packet... No Katie lets not go there. I sat down and Rachel's sister Claire showed up for a few minutes then Hermione ran past and ran back, she was red in the face and asked "Have you seen Harry and Ron, I've been looking for them. No one's seen them." My eyes widened and someone replied "No. Hmmm wait a sec Rachel you said that the house elf at Harry's home is trying to prevent him from coming to Hogwarts?" Rachel nodded and Frankie added "The Elfs Name Dobby." Georgia immediately ran out of the compartment and Hermione said "Is she all right?" Michelle replied "She probably a) knows the owner or the more likely thing b is she's probably feeling ill after eating a who piece of that toffee stuff." Hermione quickly sat down and began reading.
While the others had a debate on whether Lockhart was a good teacher I left the compartment, I'd already changed into my uniform. I saw Georgia talking to Malfoy and then to a house elf when the house elf replied to her Georgia smacked her head against the wall of the train. Malfoy then said "Cross, what are you doing? Spying on-." He didn't get to answer because Georgia wacked him and hissed something under her breath." Malfoy said something to the elf and it left, he then went back into his compartment with his goons. Georgia walked up to me and made me promise not to tell a soul about what I'd just seen.
The feast past normally, Ginny Weasley sorted into Gryffindor with Lucinda while Claire was sorted into Slytherin most people looked surprised that the sister of Rachel one of the Gryffindor's was a Slytherin. Nothing else was exactly interesting till I heard a rumour that Harry and Ron had flown to Hogwarts in a magical 'car.' And they'd been caught by Filch and taken to Snape... OUCH. When the Weasely's heard Fred and George were trying desperately and failing not to laugh, Ginny was not laughing but smiling while Percy looked as though someone had made him eat one of Professor Snape's potions. Harry and Ron turned out did fly a car to Hogwarts, they received no dinner but did get a fare amount of glares, apparently they'd lost points, a fare amount, each.
The next day it was time for our first 'DADA' class, Michelle asked Lockhart question after question none of which he could answer, not even the first year level questions. Lockhart's reputation had immediately been cracked it shattered when he released Pixies into the room, then ran away leaving Michelle, me and Hermione to use a spell that slowed them down. Rachel and Frankie managed to somehow get Neville of the chandelier that the pixies had hung him on. When Lockhart came in Georgia threatened him, something about her Dad being on the school governors... I would off given Lockhart my pity if I didn't feel angry because we did something he ran away from.
POV Rachel
The next few days past normally in potions Snape took tons of points from Gryffindor, Georgia managed to get 5 points for the 40 we lost. Everyone was still in a gruff about Lockhart's 'lessons.' Even Michelle agreed we needed extra tutorage so in the end we started spending a lot of time in the library researching.
We went into greenhouses for Herbology to discover that we were caring for Mandrakes. Everyone put on the pink fluffy earmuffs. I immediately stood by Katie and the others. When Professor Sprout showed us what to do, Neville fainted. We left him as he was, when we pulled the Mandrakes out of their pots they screeched, Malfoy started poking one to near the mouth and it bit him, Frankie kindly pulled his finger out and used a spell on his finger. He nodded to her, in gratitude? I noticed that Georgia's kept on scratching her but where there should of been blood there was just plain skin, it was the same for Katie. I managed to put the baby Mandrake in its pot, but not before it scratched me, I watched as my skin healed and Michelle nudged me to get me out of my day dreams. When we were dismissed, all of us quickly discarded our earmuffs while Dean and Seamus attempted to wake Neville up. In the end I used evanerate on him, it woke him up rather quickly. We all managed to leave quickly and head up to transfiguration. Georgia showed us a secret passage to the Transfiguration class room, we got there before the others stepping out from a portrait.
In Transfiguration, Professor McGonagall showed us how to turn animals into water goblets, Ron's broken wand turned his rat, Scabber's into a furry water goblet. My owl turned into a silver water goblet. Katie's turned hers Hufflepuff yellow, Georgia's cat got turned into a glass water goblet, and Frankie's turned a chestnut colour while Michelle's turned a greyish colour.
Then at Halloween something awful happened. We all were walking down the corridor since Frankie managed to get a detention with Lockhart alongside Harry. The 'golden trio' suddenly ran ahead we caught up with them to see writing on the wall in blood.
The chamber of Secrets
Has been opened
Enemies of the Heir Beware
Michelle walked up to Mrs Norris and said "She's been petrified." I looked at Michelle who just shook her head, Malfoy then announced "Enemies of the Heir Beware. You'll be next Mudblood!" There was a resounding SLAP I span around to see Georgia glaring at Malfoy, the latter was rubbing his face in pain. Dear Merlin, Georgia just slapped Malfoy! She whispered something to him. He paled and stalked off, followed by his goons and friends. Dumbledore came quickly and told the students to leave.
We all left to the common room, as soon as we were there Georgia yelled 'Blinky!' A house elf appeared in front of her and Georgia knelt down in front of her then said "Michelle, was it a spell petrification or a creature one?" Michelle replied, "I think it was a creature one, why?" Georgia whispered something to Blinky who vanished in a loud 'POP' she appeared again to shake her head then said "Little Mistress should know, Master Malfoy took those books during Mistresses Gala." Georgia's head was in her hand while she said "Go Blinky and tell no one I summoned you!" Blinky once again vanished in a 'POP'. I looked at Georgia who then said "Katie, my family motto." I looked at the now horrified Katie who just said "you think?" Georgia shook her head and said "No, I know."
Everyone stayed in groups while more people got attacked, there was a rumour going around that Harry was the heir. Georgia pointed out that wasn't possible since the Potter's were heirs of Godric Gryffindor.
