Navigating Hogwarts

Chapter 6

"Skye," Harry looked at me, a bit angry, I didn't know why until I felt Draco pulling his arm a bit tighter around my shoulders, that must be why. "Can I talk to you?"

"Sure, what's up" I smiled at him.

"In private?"

I jumped out of my seat and walked over to Harry. I looked back at Draco one last time and saw him giving me a wink, I shaked my head and smiled.

"So?" I asked Harry.

"I was thinking, maybe I can show you around the castle? Then I can also show you the Gryffindor common room and you can meet some of my friends!"

"Oh, Draco already showed me around right before we went to the hall... but I would love to meet your friends!"

"Draco, of course he did... well we can also just chat for a bit? At the black lake? Tomorrow after dinner?"

"Sure, anything else?"

''Then we'll talk tomorrow!'' He walked back to his friends. Couldn't he have said that at the table. Must be because of Draco. I rolled my eyes and went back to my table and chatted for a while. After that left to go to the common room.

The next evening, I was supposed to meet Harry at the black lake. Draco showed me around the castle yesterday after the classes, so I knew where it was. Besides, there is only 1 lake, and it's black, so it wouldn't have been that hard to find anyway.

"Harry!" I saw my twin brother sitting at one of the stones. When he saw me, he walked up to me and gave me a hug, an awkward hug, but still a hug. He is trying, I guess.

"So, Skylar, what do you think of Hogwarts?"

"First, please, just call me Skye! My friends call me Skye, it sounds way better. Secondly, it's great, it's fun, there are amazing people here, but it's nothing like Durmstrang"

"In which way?"

"Well, the classes for instance; Durmstrang's classes were a lot harder if I say so. We had less classes but more lessons. Like potions for instance, I feel like I'm 2 years ahead of you guys. However, Durmstrang is such a masculine school, which isn't always a bad thing, but way too many guys if you'd ask me. I was the youngest girl there, I'm happy I can finally chat with some girls around me age here. But besides genders, everyone here is so nice, and I already made so many new friends here yesterday and today"

"I'm glad you like it here"

"I do, much more than I expected to be honest. Thank you." I smiled at Harry. I was looking at the view of the sun going down in front of the lake, beautiful. "So, I heard you fought Voldemort's souls last year? Impressive if I can say so"

"Thanks. It was a memory actually, a memory of himself that he out into a diary," Harry was thinking for a second, then turned his face to look at me, "his memory was from him being a student here"

"It's impressive that a student was able to use that kind of dark magic" I thought out loud.

"It is. It's kind of ordinary. But he was ambitious. He actually was in Slytherin, just like you!"

I looked my brother in his eyes with a confused look, "what are you trying to say, Harry?"

"Well, Skylar, I want to warn you. Everyone ever who was evil, all went to Slytherin. Look out who you'll be friends with"

"Don't worry. You might not now this, since we haven't seen each other in like 12 years, or ever, but I'm a big girl, I can handle myself"

"Just... just try to also befriend some students from other houses"
