Chapter 6

I am crying this is unreal... TWO YEARS WTFFFFFFFF.

—————————————————————————————————————————

OMG I REACHED 10 REVIEWS! THANK YOUUUUUUUU. I didn't update for a couple of days 'cause I had a BLOCK. And a party to attend. Anyway I'm okay now so I wrote like crazy last night so I could update today. AS USUAL, I DO NOT OWN HP OR ANYTHING!

"Oh look! We're starting with a new subject today!" Hermione was Pointing to her schedule with much more enthusiasm then the two boys were feeling. Harry looked down on his schedule. It said: 9 am: Divination. Harry and Ron had only taken Divination because Fred and George had specifically told them that as far as Hogwarts goes, it was the easiest subject of them all, tied together with Care of Magical Creatures.

"Uh, Hermione, I think your schedule is messed up." Ron pointed at the piece of paper she was holding up in her right hand. "See, right under Divination, it's written Muggle Studies and Arithmancy. Not even you have enough time to attend all these classes, there isn't enough time in the day!" Hermione pulled the sheet away from Ron's curious gaze and blocked his view.

"If you must know, I've worked something out with Professor McGonagall, so if you would mind your own business.

"But—" and that is how yet another pointless argument started.

Harry chewed on his eggs and tuned them out. He glance over at where the students were entering the Great Hall for breakfast. Out of the crowd of students making there way through the doors came Alissa Black and the whole room stopped what they were doing and instantly fell silent. Stares and glares from every table followed her every step as she made her way over to the exact same spot as the night before, and like the night before, she ignored them all. Alissa began to eat but was quickly interrupted as Professor McGonagall walked over from the high table and gave her the class schedule while pointing at the paper and explaining about what was on it. After making sure she understood the classes, MaGonagall gave her a small smile, a feet almost no one managed to achieve, and walked away. Harry frowned at his plate, he had never seen McGonagall smile like that to a student. Now that he thought about it, a lot of teachers really seem to like Alissa. Hagrid spoke about her like he had known her forever. But then again that is Hagrid. He likes pretty much everyone. McGonagall on the other hand...

The distraction of Alissa had unfortunately allowed a break in his concentration which, unfortunately, allowed the vocal argument between his two best friends to rush back into focus.

"Wonder how the teachers can actually like her." Hermione shot Ron a look.

"Because, she's not evil! We should all follow their example and be nice to her. Don't you think the girl has enough to deal with without the entire school hating her guts?" Hermione sighed like it was the most obvious thing on earth. Ron just rolled his eyes and went back to his breakfast.

"Then, go ahead. Go talk to her Hermione. Be our guest. See if she's nice!" Hermione glared at him and looked back at Alissa. For a moment, Harry thought she was really going to do it but she didn't move. Ron smirked and gave a triumphant look in Harry's direction. It didn't last long.

"I'm not going alone. You two are going with me." The two boys stared at her in disbelief. Hermione stared back, completely unfazed. "We have to show her that she is not completely alone and if I go by myself there is no way she will take me seriously! Harry, Ron, you HAVE to come with me!"

"But she is completely alone Hermione, if people wanted to befriend her they would already have talked to her. I know she isn't like her father, she proved that part to us on the train, but have you listened to what she said to Lavender Saturday night? She doesn't want friends." Harry had thought about her little speech the day before and had came up with the conclusion that she really didn't want to socialise. It seemed logical from his point anyway.
