Heartless Sweetheart | T.M.R x OC

II.

'SLYTHERIN!' Diana froze. This could NOT be happening. The slytherin table cheered, but Fleamont looked confused.

'You said you were in Gryffindor?' mouthed Fleamont.

'I'm confused too.' she mouthed back. Still perplexed, she sat down beside a blonde girl. They didn't talk, but Diana was too hungry to care. The blonde girl smiled at her.

'Hey... you might not care, but like half the table's staring at you.' she whispered quietly. Diana facepalmed. Her whole goal was to remain unnoticed.

'Fuck... can you... help me?' Diana asked. 'I need to be completely unnoticed for a while. Please.'

'What do you want me to do? I'm Ella, by the way. Druella Rosier.' She said.

'Diana Potter. Please, just outshine me in any way! You're pretty, direct the attention towards you?'

'Hmm.. maybe I can help you. And I can ask my sister for help too.' She tapped the shoulder of the girl next to her.

'Hey El.'

'Yeah, Ell'

'The new girl wants us to outshine her.'

'Why?'

'Dunno. Says she wants to be unnoticed.' Druella's sister looked at Diana.

'Holy Shit! Are you a Veela or something? No wonder Parkinson's been drooling.'

'Not a Veela, no. Just Potter genes. And my mum was described the ''smartest beauty of her age''.' She chuckled, thinking about how her friends would complain about her hair and her messy dressing. Diana wondered how these people could call her 'a Veela'.

'Alright! I'll help you. Just... teach me your ways.' The three shared a laugh causing many looks in their direction.

'Eliana Rosier, by the way.' Their conversation was cut off by a dull voice asking first years to follow him. And it was Riddle.

''Of course, it was...'' she thought, bitterly. But the other two were giggling, and twirling their hair.

'He's every girl's dream, that Tom Riddle.'

'Not this girl's.' sneered Diana. She got up swiftly and followed the other Slytherins to the common room. The other prefect - Cassandra Klause, informed them about the password and she was asked by Professor Slughorn to instruct Diana on the rules. She informed her about the dormitories, sleeping hours, the time the bathrooms would be open and the classes she would be attending. In the end, Diana picked the same subjects she had originally picked in her third year. Ancient Runes, Muggle Studies and Care of Magical Creatures. Cassandra told her she would receive her timetable in the morning. Diana was exhausted, so she decided to get to her dorm. When she entered the common room, she gasped. The common room was beautiful. The ceiling was glass, showing the lake above it. In the center there was a giant chandelier and she thought the one she had seen in the Potter Mansion was no match for this one. The sofas were arranged to form a 'U' facing the fire. The tables were arranged neatly into a corner. She could see an object covered by a cloth, but she couldn't quite make out what it was. She had heard many rumours that this common room was directly connected to the Room of Requirement with a flight of stairs. She wanted to find it, but decided she was too tired to do so. Walking across the room, she felt the cold wind against her body. She shivered, as she could feel the cold floor through her shoes. She climbed the steps of the girl's dormitory and reached the one which had the sign - '5th years'.

When she entered, she found Druella, Eliana, Cassandra and one other girl having a pillow fight. When a pillow hit Diana in the face, she joined in and knocked the brunette girl off her feet.

'Good one new girl!' Cassandra shouted. One pillow hit Cassandra and they launched once again. The fight continued until they were lying on the floor laughing like maniacs.

'Merlin's beard! I didn't know you had such good aim, Diana.' said Druella. Diana shrugged.

'Ohhh, so her name is Diana.' Said the other girl. She thought for a while and said. 'Can I call you Anna?'

'My friends call me Anne. And my annoying friends call my Ann-flower.' She rolled her eyes at the thought of Fred and George.

'What's that supposed to mean?' asked Eliana.

'My dad used to call my mum "Lily-flower." And they somehow heard it. And now they call me Ann-flower.'

'Alright, Ann-flower' said Druella and was hit by a pillow. 'Oh, fine.'

'So what's your name?' Diana asked the brunette.

'Cedrella. Cedrella Black.' Diana frowned at the last name. After all, Sirius Black was a mass murderer who had escaped from Azkaban. And he was the one who betrayed her parents.

'Soon to be Weasley!' Teased Eliana. Proceeded to get hit by a pillow.

'El, Ell and Ella. How am I going to keep track of this?' joked Diana.

'We should probably head to bed.' said Cassandra, yawning. They other four agreed and they put out their lamps. Diana changes into her pajamas and went to bed.
