The Feast From Hell

"Damn it!" James exclaimed.

"Jamie, language." Teddy scolded, "Why are you swearing?" he inquired as he took the hat off of me.

"I just lost five galleons to Scorp here." James mumbled.

"You know you shouldn't gamble." Teddy chided, "You are a terrible loser."

"You are not my father." James muttered.

"To the Great Hall!" Teddy ordered.

"Thank you." I said. Teddy nodded his head in acknowledgement. We three students left the room.

We stopped infront of another set of double doors. Scorpius and James both turned towards me. I took a deep breathe and let if out slowly.

"I know you two are confused. And I know you two are frustrated. But I don't know you. I'm not comfortable around." I looked between the two boys, "With that being said, I did enjoy your company. I do hope we can enjoy each other's company more." I saw a visible glint in James' eyes, "AS FRIENDS!" I emphasized. The mischievious look left his forest green eyes.

"Friends." Scorpius mulled that around his tongue for a second, "I like the taste of that. Come on, Kleine. We need to eat. See you later, Jamie!" James took a swipe at him, but he dodged it.

I stuck my hand out. James looked at it skeptically. I gave him a smile. After a moment, he wrapped his fingers around mine and gave me a soft handshake.

"Thank you." I whispered. He just gave me a tiny nod.

"Go eat." he murmured.

Scorpius led the way. He steered me towards the green tables. A few kids stared. I ignored them to the best of my abilities, but I felt my cheeks start to burn.

"Ignore them." I heard him muutter under his breathe, "This is just how Hogwarts is. They love good gossip." his words helped a little. My heart returned to it's proper rhythm.

When we arrived at the tables, I recognized some of the Weasley/Potter family. There was the chestnut haired boy with hazel eyes. The dark strawberry blonde, ice blue eyed girl was pestering him about who was here. The boy was annoyed, but still looked up and recognized me too. The girl was smiling.

"How wonderful!" she exclaimed. The boy winced at the sound, "You were sorted into Slytherin!"

"Come sit here, please." the boy begged, "I hate when she gets excited." the girl punched him in the arm. I stood still.

"Hey, Albus." Scorpius sat down next to Albus, "Kleine, come sit next to Lucy Weasley." I took my spot. Albus scoffed at Scorpius.

"I thought her name was Calesta Manslayer?" Lucy sounded confused.

"It is." I replied, "Scorpius here knows a bit of German. He has taken a fondness to calling me "little one" or Kleine." I translated. Albus narrowed his eyes.

"That is cute." Lucy cooed. I wrinkled my nose in protest.

"Enough, Luce." Scorpius order. Lucy shot him a mild glare and Albus huffed in frustration. Scorpius shook his head.

For the first part of the welcome back feast, there was the sorting of the first years. This was pretty exciting. It was fun to guess who would be sorted where. Every two minutes, however, you could hear Albus in frustration.

The speech by Professor McGonagall was a tad boring. She throw in some history and cool facts. But it was dry and I was hungry. Plus, Albus did not huff as much.

The feast was magnificent. I do not think I had ever seen so many different dishes. But the huff returned. And it was like clockwork. Every two, fucking minutes. Fifeteen minutes into eating, my tolerance was shot.

"Gott verdammnt monchal!" I smacked my hand on the table. Albus jumped. I leaned infront of Scorpius, "I do not know you!" I hissed, "Stop it, Puff the Magic Dragon." what little of the table heard me was wide eyed.

I lost my appetite, so I moved away from the table. I needed to find a bathroom. I needed some space. I wanted to breathe. So, I left the Great Hall.

Once the doors were closed, I sprinted down a long hallway. I was going to explore until I found a girls lavatory. I was going to do it running the whole time, because my anger burned better that way.

I finally found one, somewhere around where I had started. (Wrong hallway.) I stood infront of the sink and cried. I think has been building since I found out we were moving. Because it just all exploded out of me.

After what seemed like forever, I washed my face in cold water. I tried to make it seem like I had not just cried my heart out. That did not work. I sighed into the mirror. Oh well. I left the bathroom.

"Get it all off your chest?" a very unfamiliar voice asked gently. I turned towards the being and was not surprised he had bright red hair. When I did not answer, he sighed, "Look, I am going to take you to the Great Hall so you can finish your dinner. James already warned me about not to touching you. So, I won't be doing that." he held his hands where I could see them.

"What is your name?" I asked, not moving.

"Louis Weasley. I am Head Boy." he responded, not moving either.

"If we shake hands, will you do something sneaky?" Louis smiled at my insecurity.

"My father was not a prankster like the rest of my family. James violate your fingers with his mouth?" I nodded my head. Louis chuckled lightly, "Of course he did. I promise, we will just shake hands." he held out his hand patiently. I gulped some air and grasped his. Like grown children, we exchanged a hand shake. We released each other and I smiled.

"Thank you, Louis Weasley." I said quietly. He motioned with my hand to lead the way back to the Great Hall.

"You are welcome, Calesta Manslayer." he replied softly as I passed him.

When we returned to the Great Hall, the students were filing out. I did not realize how many kids there were attending. Louis must have forgotten about not touching me, because he placed his hand lightly on my shoulder. I shrugged him off and side stepped away from him.

"Sorry." he muttered, "There is Scorp and Al. They must by waiting for the horde to disperse." Louis was watching the kids, "I'll wait with you." I nodded my head.

The mass of children finally thinned out enough for to cross over to Malfoy...and Weasley?

"Thank you, Louis." I said as I turned around. He smiled and nodded. I smiled back. I finished my journey across the Student River.

"Scorp here has informed me that I am at-"

"Are you a Potter or a Weasley?" I interrupted his speech. Albus sputtered.

"He is a Potter." Scorpius answered. He motioned for me to follow him, "He is the middle child of Harry and Ginny Potter. James is oldest and Lily is youngest." we started down the stairs.

"Oy, she asked me!" Albus interjected, "I should get to tell about bmy/b family." he made a face at Scorpius, "As I was saying, I am at fault for what happened at dinner, and I am sorry." he finished.

"It was all my fault actually." I stopped walking. Albus and Scorpius stopped also, "I'm not used to-" I pointed at them, "-this. I didn't handle it well."

"Friends?" Albus was confused. Scorpius tapped the back of his head.

"No, you dolt. She means boys." he rolled his eyes. Albus' eyes grew wide with realization.

"Oh, shit." he muttered. He looked lost when he glanced at me. I gave him a weak smile, "What happ- Oaf!" Scorpius saved me from repeating my favorite line.

"We should get to our common room, if not for sleep, then atleast to sit and chat." he reasoned out. We were all at an agreement.

"Prowess." Scorpius said to the circle door. It was adorned with a snake and said snake was circling around, unlocking the locks to let us pass. When it was opened, I was bombarded with green and silver.

And a lot of kids still awake. The chatter died down when I entered. I looked around the room at everyone. I managed a small smile. Most smiled back. That was a relief.

"Your roommates, Gloria Parkinson-Avery and Marion Goyle are over there." I glanced in the general direction that Albus was pointing. Two girls waved at me. I waved back.

"Alright," I smiled at the two boys, "Thank you for the lovely dinner and walk. I really do appreciate it. Maybe I will see you before you hit the sack."

"Maybe." they both said.

We parted way, me to my roommates and Albus and Scorpius to their friends and family. I walked over to Gloria and Marion. They both welcomed me warmly, very warmly. They had a bottle of Firewhiskey in their little corner.

"Want to check out our room?" Gloria whispered while shaking the bottle. I giggled nervously.

"Sure..." I said, unsure.

"let's go!" they both grabbed a hand and dragged me to the dormitory.

"Wow!" I exclaimed. The beds were huge, "This is wonderful!"

"Yeah, I love being here." Gloria responded softly. Her eyes were bright with excitement.

"Who cares!" Marion said loudly, ":et's do a proper welcoming!"

Someone produced shot glasses and shots were distributed. Five were poured. iWait, who are the other two?/i Two blonde girls, twins were also present. iOh, them./i

"Who are you?" I asked.

"We are the Finnegan sisters!" they nearly sang in unison.

"I am Maria." the one with blue clothes on said.

"And I am Tia." the one in purple said.

"I am Calesta Manslayer." I said.

"Alright ladies, grab your shots!" Gloria ordered loudly.

"One!"

"Two!"

"Three!"

And that was my first taste of alcohol. Verdammt that burned. I did not care for the aftertaste. But all in all, it was not too terrible. Although, there was no way I was getting drunk.

"Alright, I will do one more and then let you ladies have all the fun." I said. They all looked at me, "First night in a new place. I don't know anyone. That makes me anxious." Gloria shot me a wink.

"You know Scorp and Albus!" she said coyly. My smile dropped a little.

"A little." I went to my trunk and pulled out a book, "Alright! Where is that shot!"

"Here!"

"One!"

"Two!"

"Three!"

And then the aftertaste was back.

"Thank you ladies. I will see you in the morning!"

They all just made kissy noises. I rolled my eyes. l. Silly fourteen year old girls with alcohol. I entered the common room and was happy that there were significantly less students. I sighed with relief.

I spotted the open couch. So I made my way there. I curled up in the corner and craxked opened my book. I dove straight in. I immersed myself in my book, swimming in the water of imagination.

SNAP!

I jumped at the sound. The snapping fingers a blur in my vision. I had jumped right off the couch and landed on my butt and bounced. I sat on the floor for a minute, catching my breathe. I rubbed my back to comfort the shooting pains. Then I smelt booze. The person on the couch wolf whistled at me.

I did not notice, but when I fell off, my uniform skirt rode up and showed my stocking leg. It is not much, but you add booze, boys and hormones, it is bad. My bones felt how bad this was.

As I pulled my hem down, I looked up to Pattinson's evil eyes staring at my like I was a piece of meat. I did not have my robes on, so my wand was in my room.

"You certainly are petite young darling, aren'tcha." he slurred. He had a pack of goons with him. I hate goons.

"No. I am ugly as sin. Extra small too." I muttered as I searched for my book, "Verdammt monchal!" I hissed to myself.

"You keep saying stuff in German. What do you keep saying?" he got up from the couch. I wrote my name in my book, I am going to leave it here. I stood up from the floor.

Pattinson must have superman reflexes when he is sober because he grabbed my wrist lightening fast. I ignored his hand watched his face. He twisted his features into the scariest smile. It was not sweet, or comforting, or charming. My blood was starting to boil with anger.

"Back off." I clenched my jaw.

"Woohoo, you are fiesty!" Pattinson exclaimed. His goons all chortled amongst themselves. I am so over this shit.

When my foot connected with his groin, he released my wrist. As he was doubled over in pain, I shoved him on the couch and sprinted for the dorms. Even with having to fight off an attempt to trip me, I made it to my dormitory in one piece.

"Wand!" I called. To no one listening. Crap.

I dashed to my bed and nearly died from a heartattack. I realized the background noises were my roommates trying to get pregnant. I recoiled in disgust. I grabbed my robes and ran to the bathroom. And that was where I spent my first night at Hogwarts.
