The Prisoner of Azkaban ~Ila

Chapter 5

I woke up at the edge of the forest a nasty looking black boarhound was staring right at me, I yelped in shock backing away. I looked up to see the large man, Hagrid holding a blanket, he held it out to me which I took gratefully. 'Reckon yer migh've needed tha' mind.' He smiled through his bushy beard. I just looked at him and eyed the dog sniffing at me with keen interest. 'Mangy dog, leave her alone!' He pushed the dog away with his boot, before stooping to pick me up, 'I'll take yer up to Dumbledore, or Snape as he'd know yer password.' I lay quietly in his arms trying to take all of this in.
I glanced at the sky, it was barely light out so we wouldn't meet many students. Hagrid took me down through winding corridors before coming to a stop at a door with a large serpent on it, he put me down handing me my robes. 'I found these next to you, I won' look now but get them on an' we'll talk to Professor Snape.'
I changed quickly enough utterly bewildered, I stayed wrapped in my blanket though as Hagrid knocked. Snape answered looking quite angry to me. He glanced once at me and nodded, 'yes thank you Hagrid, leave her to me now.' Hagrid left and Snape swept me down more corridors to what looked like the dungeons, 'our common room is just down there to your left, the password to get in is dark magic.' With that he turned and swept away, I Shook my head slightly and started walking to where he had indicated. Someone was standing in front of the door though, I whimpered a little when I saw it was Violet. But she didn't seem to be awake, I decided to just slip past her, she was mumbling all sorts of things but I didn't catch any of it. I was just drawing through the cramped doorway when the air was split apart by a shrill scream. I yelped falling backwards, right into Violet who was screaming.
I covered my ears, 'VIOLET WAKE UP!' I screamed back at her, I even kicked her shins but she wouldn't open her eyes, I quickly got through the door into the common room where a bunch of Sleepy eyed Slytherins were emerging, 'what's this?' What's going on?'
Abruptly the screaming stopped, the Slytherins all stared at me, before sighing and walking back up to bed, I heard one of them mutter, 'stupid first year trying to make a name for herself.'
I bristled furiously when I heard that but I couldn't say anything, I just sat on one of the chairs.
Violet clambered through the hole shortly before 7.00. She looked exhausted, but didn't see me as she ascended to the dormitory above.
I waited for her to come down and followed her to the dining hall remembering the way, I sat down a few seats from her and helped myself to bacon and sausages. I was tearing hungrily into them when the quite babble if the hall was split in a shout, 'WOOOOOOOO YES! BEAT THAT VIOLET! I WON YOU OWE ME TWO GALLEONS!' I had glanced up when Violet was mentioned, a girl with brown hair was up on the Gryffindor table doing a ridiculous sort of victory dance, stepping into food all over the table. I saw Snape show up behind her, 'Miss Potter, sit down.' He looked very angry. The girl turned around smirking, 'but I don't wanna Snivully, I have a right to be free,' she walked backwards onto a boys food. 'Sorry Hairy Otter,' she giggled before falling backwards screaming 'random trust exercise!' A boy with bright red hair caught her before she fell, I glanced over and saw Violet staring at her food trying very hard not to laugh from the looks of it.
The girl looked slightly embarrassed in the boys arms, 'I thought one of my besties would catch me but they're all wimps.' Before distancing herself.
'Potter!' Professor Snape snapped, the girl grinned, 'you called snivulles?'
He looked murderous, 'up to the teachers with me now.'
She grinned evilly, 'but why?'
'To have a talk with your head of house,'
'But why?'
'Don't do that to me Potter'
She hesitated before again saying, 'but why?' She grinned broadly obviously very pleased with herself.
He gave her look of pure loathing, they both walked well Snape walked, the girl just stalked behind him muttering to herself. The whole hall had stopped what they were doing and watching her now, the sternest looking teacher glanced up at them as they arrived, she sighed 'potter, what do you think you are doing?'
'Having fun, being awesome.' A lot of the hall laughed at this me included.
'You are not wearing the proper uniform,' she said sternly.
I saw her sigh in an exasperated way, 'oh for merlin sake, I've already had that lecture from Percy and hermione please don't give me another one cause it just won't work.'
I glanced at the Gryffindor table two of the boys were snickering loudly.
'Jeans are not part of our school uniform. It's against our rules.'
'So was going down the trapdoor and finding the stone, but we won points for That, fighting a troll, we got points for that, going into the forest but we did that for a detention anyway... Oh! And going down into the chamber of secrets and not being huddled up to be evacuated but we got special awards to the school for that one!'
Several of the teachers snorted into their food while the hall rang with laughter.
Violet shouted, 'smart ass response, should've known!'
The girl grinned dancing on the spot, 'it's not called being a smart ass Violet, it's called sass,' professor McGonagall sighed. 'There is no point giving you a detention is there?'
'Nope,' she grinned her hair turning a bright Canary yellow as she skipped back to the Gryffindor table and sitting down with her friends who all looked deeply amused.
I glanced at Violet who was staring at her with a strange expression, almost one of pain.
I shrugged and ate the rest of my food looking forward to a good nap before my classes. Professor Snap was coming down handing out timetables, he looked extremely sour. When he got to me he softened slightly, 'I know you are excused from all morning classes so you won't have potions with me this morning but I do expect you to catch up, your timetable is different in addition to that, anyway here.' He thrust it at me and continued alone the table.
I glanced down at it, reading carefully.

I was surprised but gratified that I had till 1 to sleep after each night, I folded the timetable up and put it into my robes, I got up from the Slytherin table, I looked over Violet and her group of friends at the Gryffindor table had already left for their first lessons, I walked out of the hall down to the dormitory to sleep.
