Chapter 6
Bella sat down at a spot in the Gryffindor table. She couldn't help but notice all the curious looks she was getting. A girl, a rather plain one in her opinion, rushed up to her and animatedly introduced herself, "Hi! My name is Hermione Granger! I'm the female prefect this year and if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to come to me!"
Wow this girl sure has bushy hair, Bella couldn't help but stare as Hermione continued to talk. Hermione reminded her of one of those beavers she saw on a trip to Canada. Her looks are okay, Bella supposed, but then again, nothing could compare to the godly looks of the Cullens. Finally, Hermione finished her introduction and Bella glanced around at her surroundings. Everyone in the Great Hall stuck to members of their own respective houses. There appeared to be some animosity between the Gryffindors and Slytherins in particular. At her own table, there appeared to be a couple of general cliques. The popular Gryffindors seemed to be comprised of a core group. The Hermione girl seemed to be one of them, and a ginger with rather atrocious table manners. But the one who stuck out was a dark haired boy, with hauntingly striking green eyes. It was truly a tragedy that those eyes were covered by a pair of glasses. Nevertheless, Bella grudgingly admitted that he was handsome. He moved with unparalleled grace, always with an easy-going charismatic smile on his face.
"Who's that?" Bella asked the two girls who sat beside her.
"Did you just hear what she asked, Lavender?" the first girl inconspicuously whispered to the second girl.
"I think she asked us who Harry is, Parvarti," the other girl replied. "Well," she directed this louder at Bella, "that, over there is Harry Potter. The Chosen One. The one destined to defeat the Dark Lord. And also, heartthrob of Gryffindor" Both of them burst out giggling and glanced over at where he sat.
Bella took this new information in. As she continued to observe him, she noticed the subtle glances Harry and Professor Slytherin would give each other. Neither of them apparently seemed aware of the glances the other person was giving, but it was blatantly obvious to her that there was something going on between them.
AN: Hi guys! I'm back! I guess cheating ex-boyfriends and backstabbing ex-best friends got in the way... I promise the next chappie will be longer, so stay tuned! Don't forget to review! Peace out.
