Alice Black and the Prisoner of Azkaban

Chapter 4

CHAPTER 4 YEAH YEAH ENJOY

At first, no one clapped. The students were all too shocked to clap. A murderer's daughter in Gryffindor? A small smirk appeared on Alissa's face as she looked at the face of the Gryffindor. She had expected that kind of reaction. The professor's table applauded and McGonagall took the hat off Alissa's head. The students were still not clapping. She walked to the Gryffindor table and almost instantly, the whole table glared at her. People stared at her as she walked to the end of the table. It was the least crowded spot but students still scooted as far away they could from her. She sat down and looked back at Dumbledore who was smiling at her.

"Well, Let the feast begin!" He announced and as he said those words, mountains of food appeared in the plates. Students began to dig in but their eyes never left Alissa. They were either whispering about her or just glaring at her. Some people however, made some rather rude comments about her knowing she could hear them. Alissa just filled her plate and ate quietly pretending not to care but Harry could clearly see that she was gripping her fork much more tightly than necessary. Suddenly she looked up to the teachers table and locked eyes with Lupin. They both looked at each other and then went back to eating. Harry couldn't help but feel a bit jealous. Her father was a horrible man but she still had a nice guardian, his parents hadn't done anything to deserve their fate but he got stuck with the Dursleys. He watched her a bit more and turned back to Ron and Hermione.

"She sure got us fooled." He said. "Pretending to be nice and all."

"I'm surprised she wasn't sent to Slytherin, the Blacks all went there." Ron said between two bites of chicken. Hermione stayed silent. Harry could see she was disappointed, she had hopped for a new friend. She didn't got along with Lavender and Parvati that much. Gradually, the students stopped staring at Alissa and everyone went to their usual chit chats. The plates emptied themselves and Dumbledore wished a goodnight to everyone. Students quickly left the hall shooting Alissa a last glare. Harry,Ron and Hermione got out of the hall and saw Alissa looking around her a bit lost. She looked at the other students, trying to find one from Gryffindor. She spotted the twins and followed them. Harry heard Fred, or George speak up to George, or Fred.

"Fred, I think we are followed." He said, so it was George.

"I think so too Georgie." Fred said. Behind them, Alissa stopped in her tracks.

"Fine! I'll find it myself then!" She almost yelled to them. She pushed pass them but turned the wrong way at the end of the hallway. A couple of seconds later they saw her come back and turn the right way. The twins grinned at each other.

"Wonder how long it'll take her to find the common room." Ron said. When they reached the common room, the Fat Lady was showing off her "amazing" signing voice. It took a while but she finally let them enter their common room. fifteen minutes later, Alissa passed through the portrait hole. The whole room became quiet. She just stood there watching all of them before walking towards the stairs that led to the girl's dormitory. Just before she began to go up the stairs, Lavender Brown walked up to her.

"Gryffindor are goodhearted but they're not stupid. You don't belong here and you're definitely not wanted either Black, don't expect us to be all friendly just because you made it to Gryffindor." She said. It didn't look like she was trying to intimidate Alissa, her speech sounded more like a warning, but a harsh one.

"Like I need arrogant idiots like you to be my friends. I can manage on my own." She spitted back and Harry could swear she had looked at him, Ron and Hermione while saying this. Alissa turned her heels and climbed the stairs leaving the whole room either gaping at her or glaring at her. They didn't see her for the rest of the night.

OOOOOOOOOOOOH COMMENT! VOTE!
