A Tragic Procession

Correct

Grace's p.o.v-
I was staring up at six pairs of eyes and I felt my cheeks immediately heat up. I awkwardly laughed a bit "sorry it was just funny" I said awkwardly standing up avoiding eye contact.

  "Don't worry about it Grace it was just unexpected" Hermione finally said giggling a bit and it only made my cheeks heat up more. Ron and Harry had both started laughing with her meanwhile the three other boys in the room were just standing there staring at me. It made me uncomfortable to say the least. "Grace this is Dean, Neville and Seamus" Harry told me pointing to each of the boys.

Dean had a skinny figure and short curly brown hair meanwhile Neville was cute and had a fringe with brown hair also. Seamus had small freckles across his nose and soft brown hair cut short. I smiled at all of them "it's nice to meet you guys" I said cheerily trying to make the best impression I could.

In my actions they just gaped, to say I was confused would be an understatement. "I have never ever ever met a Slytherin, a Slytherin! Who is that friendly, let alone actually smiles!" Seamus spoke out in a slight Irish accent. I scratched the back off my neck and chuckled while awkwardly smiling at him meanwhile Harry, Hermione and Ron just burst out into pure laughter. My face was still beat red and I couldn't help but laugh along as everyone in the room began laughing.

**skip to 10:05pm**

  After everyone's little laughing fit we all began playing the game Ron, Seamus, Dean and Neville were playing before. It was really fun and by the end I have hissed, barked and my personal favourite I even meowed, I grew cat ears and whiskers but in all honesty I didn't mind much since I am exceptionally fond of cats.

I noticed the time at 10:02 before cursing and telling everyone it was past curfew and I needed to leave. I think I have made 6 good friends in my opinion. I was rushing through the corridors until I got to the dungeons. I found the Slytherin common room.

Quickly saying the password I had remembered well from books I quickly rushed through not taking in my surroundings before walking quickly down a flight of steps. I've seen a map of this the girls dorms should be right over- "where have you been Jenkins?" I heard a voice speak near the fire. I turned around slowly now noticing Malfoy standing in front of it staring into the flames.

"None of your business Malfoy" I spat viciously. "I'll have you know it is all of my business since your my girlfriend." He said turning around glaring at me hard. I instantly blushed at his words and became flustered but there was still no way I was letting him get away with that.

"Get lost Malfoy! We aren't even friends!" I shouted at him hoping, praying he didn't notice my glowing cheeks in the dim green light. I could see the smirk on his face and I knew he could tell I was blushing. "Now, Grace it's Draco to you" he said coming closer again. "Don't come near me!" I shouted and tried running away but he grabbed onto my wrist.

This time it was harder than last time and I could feel his fingers against the bruises already there and it made me wince. I was beaten by my parents but I wouldn't let this boy treat me like a object also, like a possession. I kicked him in his 'crown of jewels' and he immediately let go, hunching over in pain. "For the last time Malfoy, Fuck. Off!" I said venom shot through every word and with that I left Malfoy there.

I went upstairs and quickly found my dorm only  to find that since I came late for the year I had a room to myself, all my clothes were laid out already so exhausted I jumped into the soft green sheets and fell asleep still in my robes.

Morning:

  I woke up early enough to have breakfast before first class but I didn't want to eat so I simply had a shower and got changed into my Slytherin robes. Reading my time table I saw that today I had transfiguration, potions, charms, astronomy and a lesson on animals with a man called Hagrid if I remember clearly.
I hope I see someone I know there and I'll pray I don't run into Malfoy. So naturally I went to first period.

Skip to ending of 4th period-

I was sitting at the back of the classroom, alone as the same I did every lesson I had today I hadn't seen anyone today. No one was in any of the lessons with me no Harry, no Hermione, no Ron, no Seamus, no Neville and no Dean. Draco didn't even turn up but I was grateful for that. Wait did I just call him Draco? I'm sure I didn't mean anything by it.

Anyway back on subject it is around 5 minutes until class is over and I'm sitting here bored out of my mind. Somehow every lesson I've had today has been teaching something I have already throughly read about. It was boring and I wanted to slip into a sleep most of it. Let alone everyone's stares I was getting.

It's probably because I had my headphones wrapped around my neck, one teacher asked me about it and using my well known sass I explained to her that it wasn't a muggle object and that I saw no problem with it. Eventually she dropped the matter when she realised I wasn't going to give up.

I was now staring at the black board aimlessly every now and then crossing my eyes for my own entertainment. Learning about astronomy did interest me quite a lot actually, most classes did but from what every teacher said, I already knew what book they were following and is it was false or not. Even though I was bored I still listened to every word.

Professor Sinistra was telling us of some famous stars in the sky and pointing to the were about a of where they would be. "The Alpha Centauri A would be around the west area view of the astronomy tower if you looked through your telescope as we will be doing next lesson." She said pointing in the west direction,

I hated to inform her but she was greatly wrong. I put my hand up from the back off the class. As the professor turned around she caught my view and called out "yes miss Jenkins." she said slightly irritated. I coughed awkwardly before answering. "I'm sorry professor but I believe that star would be to the east meanwhile a star that looks quite similar, the Proxima Centauri would be in the west." I said gently. "Really, I think you are the one mistaken Grace." She said smirking making the entire class laugh out loud.

I read over my mind, knowing full well I had read the astronomy books on her shelf each twice. I wasn't wrong. "Could you check professor, I don't believe I'm wrong" I said smirking slightly. I knew damn well I was right. Professor rolled her eyes as everyone in the class immediately stopped laughing waiting to see who was truly right.

I saw Professor Sinistra flip through the pages in her book before her eyes widened and she looked up at me and the class. "Oh, um it seems you were correct miss Jenkins." The class gasped and I could tell the teacher though shocked was still feeling a bit happy maybe to have a student who actually knew a thing or two. As soon as she said that the bell rang. "Class dismissed" she said and I quickly got up and left. One final class, hopefully this will be good.
