Miss Lestrange ➝ Oliver Wood x OC (Harry Potter)

hallowe'en.

twenty six.

Since Theo had left, me and Alex had both dealt with it different ways. Me, by refusing to speak about it and do anything and everything I could to get my mind of it which for me was drawing, writing etc. For Alex, his way was similar. Except he forgot about it by skipping classes, generally being mean to people and fucking. Yes, you heard correctly. Alex was a massive whore. I didn't mind though, why should I care? Good for him.

The new week started strangely for me. The school was in major panic about Sirius Black which in turn meant that I was the pupils main target for shame, especially amongst the pupils in first year and some in my own year. Most of the first years were scared of me, but I didn't want that, not really.

It was the second Monday in Hogwarts that Theo had not been there when things started to get bad. I was walking to my Ancient Runes class when Flora, followed by Katie and some other non-important Gryffindors swaggered around the corridors corner, attempting to look wonderful when actually they just looked pathetic. I hadn't seen Flora since the head smashing incident and to be quite fair I was a little scared of her.

She greeted me with a sickly sweet smile - that used to be my thing that cow - and shoved me hard in the shoulders, sending me falling back into a hard stone pillar and onto the floor. They laughed as if they were proud and continued walking like nothing had happened.

"Why are you on the floor?" A quiet voice piped up from behind me.

"Are you kidding me? Why do you think I'm on the fucking floor! Did you not see that? They just-" after my loud outburst my eyes were met with another rather shocked pair. In front of me was a very small looking Hufflepuff, holding my books that I had dropped for me. She had a rather chubby looking face, huge brown eyes and long tied back blonde hair.
"I-I'm sorry. I didn't mean to be so angry. I was just..."

"It's ok. I understand. Here are your books miss." She smiled as if she was thankful.

"Thank you," a smirk came across my face as a couple of other Hufflepuff's waited behind her, "Are they your friends?"

"Yes they- why are you all being so rude?" The small girl looked at her whispering friends confusingly. 

"Belle, that's um, that's the girl we were talking about earlier. The one who's cousins with Sirius and that Draco boy." They all whispered hurriedly.

"I don't care, I think she's nice." She said loud enough for me to hear. I stood in silence with a smirk on my face. 

"Thank you," I said once Belle returned to talk to me, "Belle is it?"

"It's alright, and yeah, I'm Belle. Belle Kendall. Pleased to me you."

"I'm pleased to meet you too sweetheart. I have to get to my class now but, I'll see you round Belle."

"Bye." She waved and hurried off to catch up with her friends.

I was still pissed and shaken from being pushed over but Belle's sweetness had broken my anger. I knew I'd have to look out for that one.

To my surprise, once I got to class I was greeted by Alex who sported his uniform very fittingly. He looked tired but happy all the same.

"Look who decided to show up today." I smirked, taking my seat next to him. 

"Oh shut it. It isn't that much of a surprise that I wanna learn."

"It is a bit."

"...yeah you're probably right." He laughed in reply as Professor Babbling started with the lesson.
