My True Name

Chapter Five: A Bump in Faith and The Slug Club

(Vladmire Atanas, age 17)

I found them at a gate near Knockturn Alley. Hey, were are you guys been? Oh around. Harry told me but I was a bit suspicious on how vague it was but for now I shooked it off saying, Alright then, come on Harry i'm almost done. After I was finished we met up with the rest of the Weasley family to go home. Soon it was time to go to Hogwarts, while I was in their home I usually stayed in my real gender but ginny once saw me as a girl. She thought that I was a ghost I then explained my situation, she seemed to understand and was supported, however she still acted awkward when we were alone together. I don't understand why. On the train I met up with Lupe we hugged I introduced her to Neville,Luna,Harry and the others. She told me that she vaguely remembered them from D.A. we talked a bit but then she along with a few other were invited to have lunch with someone named Slughorn. I came along worried for her on the way I accidentally bumped into someone. I'm sorry I didn't know where- I was cut off by a familiar accent saying, It is alright,Are you okay? I looked up to see Vlamire. I struggle to say something but I just ended up nodding my head. He smiled a bit, while giving me his hand I took it and as he helped me up he asked me, Hey are you that american exchange student? Suddenly I felt my voice come back, Y-Yeah. I'm from Brooklyn, New York, you? I am from Silistra,Bulgaria. What's Bulgaria like? I asked him. Oh it is cold, but it is nice. Suddenly I remembered about Lupe. Oh, I'm sorry but I have to go find my friend. I understand, my name is Vladmire Atantas. he said as he held out his hand,I took it saying, I'm Timothy Sammules. He nodded then we went our separate ways, I then found the compartment that they were in. There you guys are. Timothy, What are you doing here? Asked Harry. Well I came because I wanted to see who he is. I told him. Can I help you? I heard a male voice say. I was just checking on my friends, sir. He gave me a look then said, Well would you like to stay and some tea,mister? Sammules,sir. Timothy Sammules. I told him while sticking my hand out which he took then led me to a chair. So tell me Mister Sammules, he said while pouring some tea, do you do fair in potions? Well sir, I started saying while taking the cup he offered me, I not the best but I do fairly well. He smiled at me while I took a sip of tea, Well Mister Sammules, I think you would be a nice addition to my Slug Club. Just then the train started to slow down, Well it was nice talking with you Mister Sammules. I suggest that you get dressed into your robes also I hope to see you in class. I nodded thanking him then went into a nearby bathroom to change. Once I came out I saw Tonks hovering over someone. As I came closer I saw that it was Harry, Harry! I screamed his name while running towards him, Is he okay? I asked Tonks. Don't worry, Timothy, he'll be just fine. She told me as sighed in relief then I started to help her with Harry, It's okay Timothy, I got this. Why don't you go to the feast? I'm not going anywhere until i know that Harry is alright.

As I was helping Harry I could hear someone call out his name I turned my heard to see Timothy running towards us, once she stopped asking, is he okay? i smile a bit telling him, Don't worry timothy, he'll be just fine. i told him as he sighed in relief and started helping me with Harry but I quickly, told him, It's okay,Timothy. I got this then I asked him to go back to the castle but he refused which reminded me of Phoebe. It was a year before she was killed and I was only three at the time, she and Sirius were watching me while parents were out,when I had fainted from too much heat. When I awoken I overheard Phoebe and Sirius arguing. As I came closer I could hear Phoebe say that she didn't care about if she gotten sick and that she only wanted to see me. I came out to hug her she hugged me back telling that she was happy that I was alright. I snapped out of the memory when I heard my name being called, Tonks, we're here. Timothy told me. oh alright, Hey Severus. I said as I saw him come up. Hello Tonks, why is Sammules with you? Oh he wanted to make sure his friend was alright. I told him, I gave them a look then headed into the castle with both of them following. I soon left after I couldn't see them anymore.
