The Slytherin Who Slithered In [Satire]

Astoria for Another Time

As Elsie Ebony Midnight Raven Liddre stepped into the yule ball, her green dress flowed behind her. Students parted as she walked though. She hated dresses not just because they were uncomfortable, but because they were girly. She didn't feel like herself, but that was fine.
She had her long blonde hair wavy wnd falling at her shoulders with make up on, that she knew she would remove the second she got the chance.
Elsie Ebony Midnight Raven Liddre felt uncomfortable but the feeling ceased as she met eyes with Draco, who looked so handsome in his robes.

His eyes widened and his mouth opened slightly conveying the shock he felt at her outfit. She felt the same about his, but she would never let it show.
"take a picture, it'll last longer" Elsie Ebony Midnight Raven Liddre said sassily trying to cover her growing crush on Draco.
"you- you look..." he started before Theodore Nott came along and took her arm in his.
"Elsie you look stunning" he started and she felt her cheeks starting to warm. She looked for draco but he had vanished leaving only the faint scent of axe body spray.
They walked around the hall and Elsie Ebony Midnight Raven Liddre wanted to sit down.
With Hermione going with Krum, her and Theodore had taken a backseat with Elsie Ebony Midnight Raven Liddre's friends focusing their anger on that. Couple this with the fact this was against her will she was still in good graces with her friends.
However, this probably did not mean they could sit with them as Harry had a vendetta/beef with the Slytherins and Ron was fiercly loyal.

The great hall had been decked out with ice like decorations and a christmas trees at the end. There were lots of tables, but none Elsie Ebony Midnight Raven Liddre could see to sit, this was going to be a long night. Why couldnt they serve alchohol, she pondered.

They had entered though the steps and Elsie Ebony Midnight Raven Liddre turned to see Hermione going down with everyone gawking at her. Elsie Ebony Midnight Raven Liddre felt a stab of jealousy she dismissed immediately, she was prettier than Hermione, she knew it, Hermione knew it, and hopefully Theodore knew it. She turned to him to confirm and seemingly reading her mind he said
"you're prettier babe"
She was really starting to like Theodore, she thought, maybe this wouldnt be so bad.

Theodore led them to a table with the Slytherins and she sat next to Astoria greengrass, a frail brunette with nice cheekbones. She knew little about Astoria other than that she had a blood curse that made her ill.

After staring at Theodore, picking at her food and almost falling asleep Elsie Ebony Midnight Raven Liddre decided to strike up a conversation, Draco and Theodore both looked at her strangely as she said "hey" turning to Astoria.
"hey" Astoria returned also looking at her oddly.
"i like your dress" Elsie Ebony Midnight Raven Liddre tried
"thank you, yours is nice too" and the conversation ended with Elsie Ebony Midnight Raven Liddre agreeing with her.
Elsie Ebony Midnight Raven Liddre didn't have many female friends and she blamed her awkwardness on that.
Crabbe and Goyle came over, and at Draco's sharp look Goyle tripped sending Crabbe with him.
Elsie Ebony Midnight Raven Liddre looked over meeting eyes with astoria and giggled. Astoria followed suit and so did Theodore. Eventually Pansy did too.

The next day Elsie Ebony Midnight Raven Liddre spotted Astoria and Theodore on their way to their class which was next door to Elsie Ebony Midnight Raven Liddre's.
Elsie Ebony Midnight Raven Liddre ran over hoping to make some new friends who werent focused on Hermione like Harry and Ron were.
"hey" she panted slightly.
"oh hi Elsie"
"What class are you guys going to?"
"charms" Theodore answered.
"nice im going to history of magic its gonna be so boring" Elsie Ebony Midnight Raven Liddre said. Astoria smiled. Soon reached the door to their class and stood there awkwardly for a few seconds.
"bye Elsie" Astoria walked in.
Theodore mock saluted Elsie Ebony Midnight Raven Liddre before joining her.

A few days later Elsie Ebony Midnight Raven Liddre walked into the bathroom to see Astoria crying curled up in a ball in the cold bathroom floor. Moaning myrtle just stood/floated there looking lost as apparently she didn't know how to stop someone crying despite the fact she did it so much herself. A crowd began to develop around them staring at the crying girl.

Elsie Ebony Midnight Raven Liddre sat down infront of her taking Astoria's hands in hers. A part of her wanted to help and felt sad seeing the girl she had giggled with a few days earlier in this state. But a bigger part knew that this was how she would become more popular than Hermione, everyone liked someone who was nice, and draco would love this, Astoria was one of his friends.

"Astoria...is this ok?" Elsie Ebony Midnight Raven Liddre questioned. Astoria nodded and Elsie Ebony Midnight Raven Liddre continued.
"hey hey hey what's wrong?"
silence.

"you can tell me Astoria i won't judge you"
"um" Astoria started looking hesitant. Elsie Ebony Midnight Raven Liddre nodded and Astoria continued.
"the..the Slytherins in my year... they make fun of me because of the whole blood curse bestowed by an ancestor thing"
Elsie Ebony Midnight Raven Liddre laughed slightly before turning to the group behind them. She indicated they should leave, no one moved.
"now."
the crowd scattered. good.
She accompanied Astoria to her next class, and the next, glaring at anyone who looked at astoria the wrong way do they would know not to hurt her.

"thank you Elsie, you being there really helped"
