Prophecy ~ Lams (COMPLETED)

Chapter 4: Not-so-Prefect

Can we all agree that Maria in any fanfic is a goddess? I tried to create a Badass Maria, and this chapter is the product of that. Yay *Thumbs up emoji*

ENJOY YALL

And please comment if you want I like to see when people catch references and start lyric chains

ALEX POV

Laurens, Johnathan did not look happy as the rest of his house when the Sorting Hat announced his placement. He sulked off towards the Hufflepuff table, and the sorting resumed. Something about him was different, and I was making it my mission to figure out what it was.

The guy that I had quarreled with earlier-Jefferson-was sitting a few people down from me, laughing at something. He scanned the table and rested his eyes upon me. I took the opportunity to give him a death stare. and what did he do? He took the glare as an invitation to get up and sit down next to me.

"Hamilton. Am I right?" he said with a sassy voice.

"The only thing I've ever heard you be right about, and I noticed you talk a lot in the fifteen minutes I've acknowledged your existence.  So answer the question you never answered before: what is your problem?"

"My problem is you. Now, stop talking to me. people are watching and they could think that we are friends."

"But you're the one that initiated the conversation." I retorted. He's an idiot.

"Shut up."

"Not likely. HEY EVERYONE!" I yelled, getting on top of the table. "Thomas Jefferson's my bestest friend in the whole wide world. right, Tommy?"

people at all four tables laughed, and the Slytherins laughed the loudest. Thomas Jeffershit looked like he was about to explode. I smiled and sat back down, winking at him. I could tell he wanted to break my neck. Mission accomplished.

"ok students, settle down," Professor Dumbledore paused and waited for the laughter to die down. "Now, I would like to address a few things. first, I would like to welcome your new Defence Against the Dark Arts Professor, Professor Washington." There was scattered applause as a bald man in royal blue robes stood up. 

"I heard there's never been the same Defence Against the Dark Arts professor for more than a year." A first-year whispered. 

"Last year, we had this awful Professor. His name was Professor Reynolds. He was extremely rude and strict. there was even talk of him sleeping with a student. Maria Lewis," One of the older Slytherins said in a hushed tone.

Just what I needed, some good old fashioned school drama.

"And, as you know, The Forbidden Forest is most definitely still forbidden," Dumbledore continued. "Penultimately, we will be hosting a party for the new exchange students to mingle with teachers and students and learn more about Hogwarts. it will happen tomorrow night, after classes. Dinner will be served there, and if you do not wish to attend, dinner will also be served in common rooms. Lastly... Nitwit! Blubber! Oddment! Tweak! thank you." Dumbledore finished his announcements and a feast of food appeared on the table. I had never seen so much food in one day in my whole life. My eyes went wide. 

I took a big plate of food and started chowing down. Not even Jefferson's disgusted looks could keep me from savouring this moment. Or the food. I was so full after dinner, and I totally regretted not saving room for dessert. I stuffed a few tart-looking things in my pocket as the prefects led the new Slytherins to the dormitories.

A/N: ENTER MARIA

"Your Alexander Hamilton, right?" A girl with curly dark brown hair and bright red lips walked up next to me.

"Yes?" I said.

"Well, as Hogwarts' resident badass, and fellow Slytherin, I would like to personally welcome you. I'm Maria Lewis. 6th year. Prefect, though I'm not really sure why."

Maria Lewis. "Are you the one that allegedly slept with Professor Reynolds last year?" Straight to the point, Alex. Maria laughed.

"I don't kiss and tell," She said coyly and winked. there was an awkward pause of silence. "I'm kidding! Word does travel fast. He tried, mind you. After that day, he was throwing up slugs for a month," She smiled at the memory.

"Sounds fun."

"Oh, it was. he was a total perv. hopefully, Professor Washington's better."

"Why are people saying you hooked up with a teacher?"

"Because they think, ' Oh, she's a bad girl, and that's what bad girls do'. If people ask me about it, I blackmail them," She said simply. "let people think what they think. I could care less what people think of me. And, If they get in my way, they should be scared. I know everyone's secrets."

"Are you gonna blackmail me once you learn my secrets because I asked about it?"

Maria thought for a second. 

"Nah, you seem cool. But one wrong move and your nudes will be on the front page of the Daily Prophet," she warned.

"This seems like the start of a great friendship," I said sarcastically.

"I agree," Maria exclaimed.

The Slytherin dormitories were situated in the dungeon. It was extremely cold, or maybe it was just my Caribbean ass feeling cold for the first time in my life. My teeth were chattering, and I thought for a second I saw icicles on my eyelashes.

"It's not that cold," Maria said.

"Yeah, it is. Try being from the Caribbean and finally feeling weather that's under 45 degrees."

"Ok, everyone!" The other prefect said from the front of the group. "This is the entrance to the Slytherin dormitories. the password to get in is Serpiente. remember that." He said the magic words and the door in front of us swung open. We all stepped inside, oohing and ahhing as the common room came into view.

"Boys dormitories are there, and girls dormitories are that way." He said, expecting us to go to our respective dorms. No one moved.

"He means move your butts!" Maria yelled, and the group scattered. 

I waved goodbye to Maria and followed the group of boys down a hall, looking for my name on a door plaque. I finally found my room and opened the door. There were 5 canopy beads circled around the center of the room, with a door for the bathroom that was connected. candles in sconces were the only source of light. I went to my assigned sleeping area and jumped onto the forest green comforter, holding my hands behind my head. I couldn't remember the last time I had slept on a mattress. I then closed my eyes, waiting for the sleep paralysis demon to wake me up again. It was becoming my friend.
