The two lessons past by without any likly interruptions.

It was kinda relief when the bell finally sounded up. Everyone jumped up from the dark schooldesks and hurried to pack up their fethers and paper.
The room of History of magical was in the east-wing of the schoobuilding and next lesson was Defense against dark magic in room 506- west-building.

But for now it was breakfast time.

The classroom cleared fastly. Just a few students were left. I stood up and started throw everthing more ot not clear into my small bag and looked to hannah, whose was doing the same.
"Miss Black..."
I looked up and saw Professor Snape standing in the front sorting some files. As I tried to guess if he just called me he made a gesture, singing me to join him.
Confused I looked at hannah. She just shrugged.
"Ill save you a seat."
I nod and then she left.

Swollowing i turned and stept infront to the Professor. Will he send me to detention? Or punch me with a ruler? What? Waht does he want from me??
A bad feeling layed in my body. This is the part where usually bad news are about to come up.

As he didnt seem to start talking, i decided to take the word.

"Listen. You may understand. its here my first day I'm sorry I-"
"Professor Dumbledor wishes to see you in his office this evening."
I looked at him intimidated.
"Is...I...what have I done wrong?"
He gently shook his head and that washed of the first fear.
"You haven't done anything wrong Miss Black. It's...I mean it's..."
He faltered,folded his hands in front of his chest and unobtrusively kneaded his thumb. It seemed like he searched for the best way to tell it.
"What is it Professor?"
My voice was calm and quiet. He then looked straight at me.
"It's about your parents miss."
I choughed.
I couldn't breathe. It always happens when it comes to them.
I felt my throat tighten. I couldn't say anything and stared down.
Snape seemed to notice my reaction and slowly took a step closer.

But I backed away. In moments like that...I couldn't get close. Or better nobody could get close to me.
I strained and looked up into his eyes. I just managed to nod before backing away, grabbing my bag and left the classroom.

Confused, I entered the huge hall where everyone was already sitting in groups at the long tables and having breakfast. The noise level was tremendous and I looked around for help, trying to find a familiar one among all the faces.
When I dared to take the first steps, the first glance shot at me to look from top to bottom.
I became unwell.
But then I took a hand further back that was waving to me. When I took a closer look, I recognized Cedric and I breathed a sigh of relief.
I slowly made my way through all the people.
But that turned out to be more difficult than expected. Again and again I bumped into people and I was ruthlessly pushed aside. I was getting angry.
The next moment a big fat boy blocked my way.

As I attempted a calm 'Excuse me, I can get through', steping left to get past him, he blocked my way again. Same thing when I tried to do it on the right.
Seriously now.
My patience was finally coming to an end and when I heard his malicious laughter, it was enough for me to blackout.

I grabbed his collar and pulled him down to me.
"LISTEN YOU SON OF A BITCH: DON'T PISS ME OFF AND GET OUT OF MY FUCKING WAY!!"

With full force I consumed him out of the way agressivly. He lost his balance and stumbled to the ground. One time, I looked at him again, straightened my shirt and walked on.
It was perfectly still. Everyone looked at me in astonishment as I went to Cedric and the others at the table. Before I sat down, I turned to to the crowed of students staring at me in shook.
"WHAT!?"
Caught, everyone started to look frantically away and acted as if nothing happened.
Exasperated, I plopped down next to Hannah and poured myself a cup of coffee.
When I looked up because nobody said anything, I saw bright red faces and the next moment everyone snorted loudly.
"Filou, I didn't know that you had wrestling skills. Impressive!"
Since my mouth was full, I just raised my hand and dryly showed Cedric the middle finger.
He blew me a provocative air kiss, which made me just roll my eyes.
"No, honestly, that was a bit hot.."
"Hawnnah"
I mumbled while chewing and slapped her arm.
"Infact. I guess everyone in this school is either shoving a crush on you now, or afraid you might beat them up if he gets too close to you."
I slammed the palm of my hand on the table.
"Fuck you! Fuck All of you!"
We just had to laugh more.
