Alice Black and the Prisoner of Azkaban

Chapter 10

Ok last I'm updating for now, I am hungry. I might upload the rest tonight or this weekend at most.

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

Hello! First of all, I AM SO SORRY FOR NOT UPLOADING! I JUST FELT REALLY SLUGGISH AND WROTE REALLY SLOWLY! I'll try to be more productive this week! I would like to thank Siena McGonagall Dumbledore who checked my story before uploading it! Thank you thank you thank you! I do NOOOOOT own Harry Potter (what a shame, really)!

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

They arrived in class a bit before the bell rang. Hermione, her arm still linked with Alissa's, dragged her to the desks in the front of the class. Harry suspected that she had done it so everyone could see that they were now friends. And it worked, people stared at them, Lavender and Parvati looked at them disapprovingly but Hermione didn't seen to care at all. Harry and Ron just sat down and shrugged at Seamus who was sending them a confused look.

"They're really silly." Hermione stated. Alissa bit her lip and looked at her. Hermione gave her a wide smile and took her hands in her.

"I want you to know that we're really sorry! It was stupid of us to judge you like that!" She said seriously.

"It's okay, I'm used to it." Alissa said.

"Let's be friends. From now on, you'll hang out with us and always sit with us!" Hermione said.

"O-okay, let's be friends." Alissa chuckled.

"Great, now that it's settled, have you done the charms homework?" Hermione asked "I did five inches supplementary since there's so much to say, but do you think-" And a little conversation started. Harry watched them talk and Ron whispered something to him.

"Do you think it's a good idea we let her be our friends?" He asked.

"Yeah... I think so." Harry said. He kept looking at Alissa until Professor Lupin entered, wearing his shabby clothes. Alissa caught Harry's eyes and smiled. He smiled back not noticing the small tug in his chest. Lupin smiled warmly at the class and Harry noticed he looked a bit healthier than when he had first seen him. Perhaps Hogwarts's delicious meals had helped him restore his soundness. Alissa leaned over to Hermione a whispered something and they both giggled. It was a bit surprising since Hermione didn't giggle. Harry ha seen her laugh before but not giggle. Giggling was more Parvati and Lavender's department. Lupin shushed them but not before beaming at Ron, Harry and Hermione.

"Put back your books everyone, today's going to be a practical lesson, you'll only need your wands." He said. Everybody looked at each other excited but a bit scared, the last time they had a practical lesson, it was with Lockhart a definitely not a good memory.

"What do you suppose we're going to do?" Ron asked as Lupin led them towards an empty classroom.

"No idea" Harry shrugged.

"What do you think?" Hermione asked facing Alissa.

"Oh, I promised Dyadya I wouldn't tell anyone, but trust me, this is going to be fun!" She smiled.

"I can't believe he told you! Do you know about all the future lessons?" Hermione asked unhappy. Alissa nodded proudly and Hermione muttered something about unfairness.

"What the bloody hell is a 'Dyadya'?" Ron asked to Harry.

"Oh it's what I call him... It's the equivalent of... Uh... Oh yeah, Uncle or something." Alissa said, searching for her words.

"Oh." Ron said.

"Do you have trouble with english?" Harry asked, people didn't hesitate like she did normally.
