Chapter 3

I put my hand on the dark wood door and turn the nickel colored door knob. I walk in to what looks like a bathroom to see Iris by one of the sinks, breathing heavy with a few tears coming down her cheeks every now and then. Eli was standing over her, in what looks like, trying to calm her down. She becomes agitated and starts pacing the bathroom floor. They finally notice that I'm in the room when I say "Hey are you okay Iris?"

Eli looks over at me, and with a very agitated tone says "You can't help, heaven forbid I've tried everything. I EVEN THREATENED HER!" With the last word said she makes her way to the door and walks out. I go over to where Iris is sitting in a ball and start to rub her back. It doesn't look like it is doing anything so I decide on a new tactic.

I try to decide what a what a good song would be for this moment and, finally, I start to sing "You barely know me, I want to know you, I want to sit beside you and talk about anything, I wanna be with you, everyday with you, but that, but that won't happen, that probably won't happen, not that'll be the day but can I just say I think you're wonderful, wonderful, yea but can I just say I think you're wonderful."

Eventually she stops shaking and turns towards me. Her eyes has a shine in them to where it looks like she was on the verge of tears. She takes a couple of deep breaths while a few remaining tears fall. But then her eyes dry up and she just stares at me with a look of astonishment. It looks like she snaps out of her daze when I begin to say "So, are you okay?"

She ignores my question completely and says "I like that song…what is it called?"

"It's called 'I Think You're Wonderful by This Providence' it's the chorus of the song."

"Well it's a good song. It does your voice justice. Do you sing profesionaly? Because you really should." She gets up, wips her eyes then starts to walk to the door "Well I better be going I'm sure second period is going to start soon."

I softly grab her by her wrist, so she will turn around and look at me "Iris, are you really okay?"

"Yea sorry about that, I'm fine. Snape just infuriates me sometimes. Thanks for helping I don't like to transform in sch-"

"Whoa whoa whoa transform? What are you talking about?" I ssay with a look of shock on my face.

She gives me a questioning glance "Wait you don't know? Everybody knows she sees me shake my head no so she continues. "Well my father is Remus Lupin, he is a werewolf" my eyes widen "except I can change when I want to, when I get to mad, or when I'm forced to on the days of the full moon."

She stares at me then jumps when I suddenly yell "HOLY CRAP…I KNOW A WEREWOLF. THIS SCHOOL IS AWESOME."

AIT TAKESA BIT FOR HER TO REPLY, APPARENTLY THAT IS NOT THE REACTION SHE IS USED TO. "Wait…You're not scared?"

"Uh no? Why would I be scared? You are not a werewolf right now. Or are you? Wait a second are you a werewolf that never changes? You just have an all around ferocious attitude?"

"No I actually change into a dog like creature slash beast." She walks towards the door. As she takes her last step and raises her arm to open the door, Eli comes bursting in.

"PEOPLE ARE MOVING, I REPEAT PEOPLE ARE MOVING!" she grabs Iris' hand and drags her out of the bathroom. I figure since I don't know where I'm supposed to be going that I might want to leave. I start to walk down the overly crowded hallway looking for the ever mysterious Barbie.

"You are going the wrong way." I jumped from the closeness of the words and turn around.

"Yea I know that. I was just testing you to make sure you haven't had any memory loss lately." I say while I start to walk the 'right' way. I'm sure there is a way to get there from the other direction just Barbie doesn't know the way.

"Yea right you just weren't listening when I showed you earlier." He walks in front of me, with a smirk, and just stands there, starring at me, all weird like.

"So? Who cares we are going to the same class. So I see two choices. You can either walk beside me or I can follow you like some crazy stalker chick. In fact I'll start singing stalker songs, I'll breath heavy, and every time you look back I'll make sure I hurry up and hide behind something. So either way, you are escorting me."

"Fine follow me."

I stuck my hand towards the pug faced chick giving me dirty looks while Barbie and I are talking. "Hey my name is heather. What's yours?"

"Why do you care?"

"Well because you're walking with Barbie so I can only a-"

"My name is not Barbie we already discussed this it's Malfoy"

"Any way before I was so," I glance at Barbie, who was giving me a look that said get my name right or pay the consequences, "rudely interrupted I can only assume that you are a friend of this so called 'Malfoy'" I say with air quotes.

"Yea we are friends. In fact we are dating. So why don't you just leave all of us alone." She said with a smirk that seemed to say 'yea that's right be jealous.' Well unfortunately for her, I wasn't jealous. So sucks to be her.

"Pansy I have to-"I interrupted Barbie to say.

"Aww that's so sweet I get to be friends with a gay couple. Yay my life is one step more accomplished. Wait will one of you guys be my gay best friend. Pwetty pwease?"

"NO." the pug faced person yells.

"but why, you are a guy."

"NO I'M NOT I AM A GIRL!"

"hmm damn…now see if you would have just told me your name from the beginning then that mistake would not have been made. Now would it have? Well I guess I wouldn't have made that mistake if you actually looked like a girl and not some pugged face man…so either one would have worked."

She stomps her foot and yells "GET AWAY FROM US!"

"sucks to be you. But I can't because Dumbledore told me if I need help to come see Draco," I look at him sweetly to see that his face has a tiny smirk on it and shock since I actually knew his name proabably. Then I turn my attention back to the, now apparent chick, "and I do need a lot of help. Like to my next class" I grab Barbie's left hand with my right hand and start to walk away while looking over my shoulder to say "and you never know…I may need a lot of help tonight" while saying that last word I wink at her and kiss Barbie on the cheek I lean close to his ear to whisper "Jeesh how can you date her? She looks like a pug faced guy."

"I'm not. But our class is in here" Barbie says while pointing to a door that looks like all the others.

"well since I didn't really pay attention it looks like your gonna have to show me how to get here tomorrow," I threw a smile over my shoulder to the pug faced girl, "and maybe the day after that and the day after that and guess what…maybe the day after that." I see her face and it begins to turn extremely red from anger. I go and sit in an empty seat in the front because I didn't feel like sitting in the middle with them. Right when I sit down the teacher's door opens and a scraggily looking man walks out.

"okay class as most of you all know I am Professor Lupin-"

"ohhhh do you have a daughter named Iris?" I say while I wave my hand up in the air.

"um why yes I do. Why do you ask?"

"oh I just saw her in the bathroom, but then Eli dragged her out to get to her next class. Anyway back to what you were saying."

"okay then. So I want you all to get up and form a single file line." As soon as I got up everybody started crowding to get to the front so I just leisurely walk to the back of the line. not the complete back because that would seem like I didn't want to join, but the middle back.

"okay class I want you to perform a spell. Any spell you want on this dummy." He points to a mannequin that he just pulled out of a closet that came out of no where.

Since I am in the back of the line I get to see everybody in front of me perform their spell. Well a few were lack of spell. Most people decided to do really easy ones like expeliarmous. So I decided I was going to wow them with an amazing spell.

I had to wait for awhile but when I finally reach the beginning I became really excited.

"okay Miss Murphey. What spell will you be performing today?"

"it's called Quvvlips. But the only problem is, is that I'll need an actual person to perform it on."

"okay then, well we we'll just use the next person in line. Mr. Malfoy please step forward."

"tehe this is gonna be fun, Okay Barbie stand right here." I pull him away from the crowd of people and the glaring pug faced chick. "okay I need you to stand right here. You can think about anything you want just when you feel a warming sensation…well let it flow." I take a step back and point my wand in the middle of his forward. I slowly blink then put my wand down again.

"well aren't you going to do your spell?"

"I did. You'll feel it in 3. 2. 1."

"I don't-" all of a sudden Malfoy lunges forward and attacks my lips with his.

"AHHH get him off of me." professor lupin starts to pull him off of me while he says

"how long is this going to last?"

"I don't know it's never made someone run up and kiss me! It's only made them act like its puppy love! It usually last like an hour."

The whole time I was talking Barbie was shushing people because I was talking or he randomly said my name in a sigh.

People finally began to realize what I did so all the girls rush to my side and start to ask a whole bunch of questions: 'how did you do that? Can you teach me?' over all the girls you could hear one guy yell 'does it work on chicks?'

I run out of the room trying to get away from all their banter. I wasn't really paying attention to where I was running and wound up crashing into Eli and Iris.

"Shit. Sorry. Umm hey if a group of Slytherin girls…and a Slytherin guy asks where I am tell them I…I don't know went to my room or something. Okay?"

Iris just stares at me like I'm a weird person or something while Eli says "sure...hey if you need to you can come sit with us during lunch. No Slytherin will ever sit with a Gryffindor on purpose."

"Awesome thanks I may take you up on the offer. Bye." And I'm off. I run into the Great Hall to see that a whole bunch of people are already sitting down getting ready to eat. I scurry off to the Slytherin table and sit down. I'm waiting for the food to magically appear when a whole bunch of girls, who I'm guessing finally found me, enter the big doors. They look around and I slowly put my head down hoping they won't see me. But a couple of minutes later they run up to me and start to pull me like I'm a human yo-yo. They just stand there and yell at me asking the same questions they did last time. The guy was even there; in fact he even brought more guys.

"I can't take it! Leave me alone!" I push past the crowd of people and I run towards the Gryffindor table. I find Eli and Iris and sit down beside them and the three rude people from the train earlier. When I sit down I put my head on my arms and let a sigh of relief escape.

"What the bloody hell is a Slytherin doing at our table?" I lift my head up a little to see a ginger kid staring at me with disgust.

"Aww what's wrong Heather?" I turn my head to the side and see Iris looking at me.

"Well I just had your dad's class and he told us to do a spell. I was close to the back of the line and everybody ahead of me was doing really really simple spells. Like Lumos and expeliarmus. So I decided I would do a difficult spell. So I told your dad that I needed a person to help me. He said the next person in line could help and that person just happened to be Barbie…shit I mean Malfoy. Well I did my spell and it is supposed to make someone with no, like, good emotions for somebody fall in a somewhat puppy love for the person casting the spell…"

Eli ignores all of what I say and says "wait you call Malfoy Barbie? HA that's funny."

While Iris, who was actually paying attention, says "okay so why is that bad? Wouldn't that be a good thing? Come on Malfoy wouldn't be mean to you."

"See that's the thing, something went wrong or I don't know what happened. I was saying the spell then the next thing I know…he was attacking my lips. I've never had that happen"

The black hair guy looked up to say "wait? Malfoy kissed you?"

"Well yea didn't you hear what I've been saying I casted a spell on him and then he attacked my lips" as I'm saying talking I realize I've been using my hands this whole time and waving them around like I'm a mentally insane person, I really hope nobody has been watching, oh god or listening, they may want the spell too.

The really curly haired girl decided she needed to say something so she said "oh god I'm really sorry. Here let's take your mind off of the god awful event. My name is Hermione Granger," she points to herself, "his name is Harry Potter." She points to the black haired boy. "And his name is Ron Weasley." The ginger was pointed to next.

In a mechanical voice I say "Hi my name is Heather Murphey."

"see that's a start okay so I can assume you are in 5th year and so you must be 15. I must ask how come you didn't show up here when you were 11 though. If I'm not intruding."

"This is my first year of school"

"So you are home schooled then?"

"Kinda I was sort of home schooled in way. I was to powerful to not be schooled before I was 11 so different teachers came and taught me stuff till now, since I'm finally old enough to come to school."

Harry looks at me with shock and says "wait so you are only 11?"

" No, I would have came last year but I missed the age cut off so I had to wait another year so now I'm twelve" Right then an owl came and dropped a letter off into my lap. The letter was rolled up with a silver ribbon tied in a perfect bow. As soon as I saw the bow I knew exactly who it was from.

Eli looked down in my lap and saw that the letter didn't have anything on it "ooh someone has a secret admire" she says while nudging me with her elbow.

"umm no I don't it's just a random letter from a random person," I look down at my empty wrist, "oh look at the time. I got to go. Bye!" I run off before they could even say anything else about my secret letter after all, it is a secret.
