Part 15 - Vyla's POV

-----------------------------

(The Great Hall)
(Vyla's PoV)

-----------------------------

The past week has been fricking hectic. And to top it all off, I've been having some rotten luck lately.

Right now, I'm sitting in the Great Hall with Draco, Amelia Jones, and a few of Draco's goons; Crabbe and Goyle. We're eating up for today, some of us still groggy and sleepy. I know I am. I just want to go back to bed today.

I sigh, eating some fancy tomato soup with a grilled cheese that I found on one of the plates. (Which honestly surprises me that this simple food would even be here.) I take another bite of my grilled cheese and Draco looks up at the owls coming in.

Mail.

Lovely. Knowing my mom, she's just going to send an embarrassing howler, about something that doesn't even matter. Just to pin me down in front of my peers-- something like an old thing I got in trouble for.

I sigh, finishing off my soup.

"Oh- look out!" Draco whips up and catches a small-ish package from falling in the air.

Crabbe and Goyle catch stuff too. I look at Amelia-- who I've only started talking to recently. She's such a pushover, and I hate watching people walk all over her. I've seen her in some of our classes, and she has some big potential-- or... she would if she'd stop letting people rule over her.

So that's why I'm taking her under my wing; teaching her to not be a pushover!

"Hey Amelia, do your parents ever send you anything?"

She shakes her head, "No. My parents are both too busy to send me any mail."

"Oh. Sorry to hear."

"Vyla," Draco warns, "Incoming."

I look up and see a package flying right down from the sky. I hold out my arms and catch it. (It's pretty heavy...) I perk it on the table after sliding my food aside. Then, I look at it real good, to guess what it is. Thankfully, it's too big to be a howler. Unless those come in mega form now...

Hmmm.

"Well?" Amelia asks, "What are you waiting for? Open it!"

I give her a small smile, before undoing the tight string around the sloppy wrapping. Mom never bothers to wrap anything, so she just curls the paper around it, and ties it all together with a ton of string. It's a real pain in the arse.

Once I pull the wrapping away, I find that it's a box. I open the box and see a bunch of miscellaneous items inside. I go digging through the items, pulling them out one by one.

A chocolate bar...,

A card pack,

Quite a few candles,

Five chocolate frogs,

And a star chart.

Wow, mom. Thanks.

"That's actually really random..." Draco mumbles, holding his package in hand- still unopened.

I gruff, putting everything back in the box.

"That's my mom for ya'. What'd you get?"

Draco opens it and finds a book.

It's 'Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them.' By Newt S.
