Second time Around *Severus Snape* Book 1 -completed-

The pink toad

…..’’ For our Hogwarts is in danger 

From external, deadly foes 
And we must unite inside her 
Or we’ll crumble from within 
I have told you, I have warned you… 
Let the Sorting now begin.’’
Finally some peace and quiet, the song was really getting on my nerves. Just as I was about to continue with my meal I heard ’’Dianna Thorn!’’ and, as expected, my little munchkin was trembling. ’’You’ll do just fine babe.’’ I telepathically told her, with that,she appeared to calm down a bit. About 2 minutes later, the grotesque-looking robe finally spoke  ’’GRYFFINDOR!’’ and the extremely loud clap was heard, well, I couldn't help but notice that her friends were really glad that she’s in their house. I shrugged my shoulders and continued eating. After a while, Albus started with his traditional speech, but I've got lost in thought about having a cigarette, then I heard my name and just smiled and blowed a kiss to the kitties. Suddenly, I’ve seen the pink toad who happened to sit next to me stood up and quite rudely interrupted dear Albus. “Thank you, Headmaster, for those kind words of welcome .” Oh boy... ’’Well, it is lovely to be back at Hogwarts, I must say! And to see such happy little faces looking up at me!” Okay Darlene, calm down, after all, she works for the Ministry of Magic, don’t embarrass Dumbledore. You see,  as much as I seem like a dull person, I’m  aware of the current circumstances which are prevailing around the magical world, and they we’re semi-good at hiding the fact that Voldemort has risen once more. You see, Joshua Andrews, my dear deceased father, was a Minister in the American Ministry of Magic, and being the curious little bugger, I happened to follow all of the events up until now, plus not to mention that my father was secretly a supporter of  Voldemort after hearing his quasi-idea of getting rid of the muggleborns from our wizarding society,although he was never a death eater himself. What an idiot, but I guess I’m not much better person than him either, I mean it was technically my fault that both mine and Dianna’s parents are dead, but I regret nothing. But Umbridge, unfortunately I have met her on one occasion, and don’t  like her a bit, such an ignorant (not to mention ugly with poor fashion sense) woman should never have the position which she has. I bet she had some sort of trauma in childhood which have led her to act the way she does, but I’ll most likely kill her in some period of my life, definetely I’m putting that to my bucket list he-he. Just as I finished sulking I’ve already noticed the toad aproaching me and guess what? She had recognised me! Ugh,Merlin, kill me now before commit a slaughter... ’’ What a pleasant surprise! Do I see the daughter of  Joshua Andrews in my presence? Such a honor seeing you again dear,I must say, you've grown to be a beautiful young maiden,not to mention that you have your fathers eyes!’’ I've put my fakest smile and said ’’ Nice seeing you too miss Umbridge.’’ And then the questions began , that noisy good-for-nothing wench, I really can’t stand the hypocrites such as herself, nevertheless for the sake of young  Potter and headmaster Dumbledore I acted out my politeness,but instead of  looking at her, I caught occasionally a glimpse of my colleague who was sitting next to Pain (note: Dolores means pain in Spanish) and during my conversation couldn't help but keep asking myself when was the last time this dude washed his hair and started  making excuses on his behalf while plainly answering the toad’s questions. One century later, the feast was finished but the toad still continued suffocating me regarding my parents and America, but as soon as I noticed the greasy-haired professor’s stare, I pleadingly looked at him telepathicaly told him to help me get away from Umbridge. To my surprise, he understadably nodded then said ’’ Pardon me for interrupting your conversation miss Umbrigde...But, miss Andrews and I have a very important..colloquy...Now if you  excuse me, we’ll be on our way.’’ With that, he grabbed my arm and dragged me toward the exit of the hall,but i couldn't help but notice some students gasping and looking at us three weirdly,kids these days.  Just as the toad was about to open her wide mouth i shouted ’’ See you tomorrow Dolores!’’ and blowed a kiss to her. Wow I’m so proud of myself, I could definetely be an actress ha-ha.
          -Dianna’s POV-
’’ Woah did you see that? I don’t know whats more disturbing, your mum being in friendly terms with Umbridge or her holding hands with Snape!’’ Ron exaggerated. ’’ Maybe she was using Umbridge as a bait to sneak out with Snape.’’ ’’ Or maybe she has a thing for greasy old gits!’’ the Weasely twins added. ’’ Heeey, now I do not know the deal how Dee knows this weird woman, but I’m  100% sure that there’s nothing going on between them or that it would ever be as a matter of fact!’’ I slightly shouhted while Harry seem to be amused by these silly statements. ’’ Relax Dianna, they were just kidding’’ Hermoine gently said. ’’ Uh, yeah,eerm,haha I knew that.’’ I nervously said. Damn, I can really be socially awkward sometimes, I mean, to be honest, aside from Darlene, I never actually had any real friends. Most of the kids seemed to avoid me back in America. I really like this group and I don’t want to blow my chance with them, but Darlene means the world to me, and I just can’t stand it when someone speaks badly of her,or makes fun of her. Besides, I don’t even know how would they react if they found out that Dee almost never been in a relationship with a guy. Yup, she is pretty much a lesbian, but almost nobody knows that, it would have been funny though if she told all of the guys who constantly annoyed her with their poor persuasion to go out with them that she would only date them if they’re  hot busty blonde chick. Speaking of blondes I definitely have a thing for a certain fair-haired boy, but considering the fact that he is a complete jerk, I might as well ought to forget my pointless crush on him, I mean if Dee wanted to seduce him, she would have wrapped him around her finger in a matter of seconds. Don’t get me wrong, i love Darlene to death, but sometimes I can’t seem but to envy her self-confidence; the way she acts around people; the way she simply lures everybody into her bidding and her looks; i can’t deny it, she is drop dead gorgeous, sadly for her male admirers she only appreciates females while she cruelly uses the poor wooers.Now come to think of it, Darlene can be very mean sometimes but she’s always been good to me, as a matter of fact she constantly tells me how I’m a natural beauty and that,unlike her I almost don’t need makeup at all. Sometimes I believe her, but other times I think she’s only telling me that to make me feel better. ’’ Are you okay Dianna?’’ Harry worriedly asked ’’You know, we were only joking about miss Andrews.’’ Ron muttered.’’Really guys,chill, I’m cool.’’ I said smiling.Despite everything, I had a feeling that this school year will be the best year so far.
