Daughter of Black

Chapter 9- Names

It was a week into term now and V was walking back from the Ravenclaw-Slytherin game which they had narrowly won. V was walking back with the twins who were on either side of V with their arms slung around V.

"That was a wicked game." Flora said enthusiastically.

"Yea, did you see the look on Cho's face when Malfoy caught the snitch?" Hestia said and at the same time, they both did an accurate imitation of it, causing V to laugh.

The girls walked back up the still snowy path giggling together. Adrian and Lucian were walking back with the rest of the team as Adrian was still being sour towards V but at this point, V couldn't be bothered with pleasing him.

But as the celebrating group walked up the path they were interrupted by a group of rude, obnoxious Gryffindor girls.

"And that will be the look on Black's face when Potter catches the snitch at the Gryffindor Slytherin game."

V looked up to see the burly Nina Dickens and her gang friends, all laughing at the rude joke. She felt the twins tense around her and give the Gryffindor's death stares but V gestured for them to stand down, knowing that this was her battle to fight.

V stepped forward giving Nina a stone hard stare while Nina smirked down at her and folded her arms.

"What are you going to do about it, Vindemiabitch?" She asked leaning down to V's height. Her friends laughed at the inappropriate name like a bunch of 5 year olds.

"Name calling? Really? We both know that your name opens up the perfect opportunity for that, Nina Dickhead." V said pursing her lips in a sassy fashion.

"Watch it, you little, bitch!" Nina said withdrawing her wand and automatically V did the same thing.

They both took a couple of steps away from each other pointing their wands out and out of no where, Nina said an incantation, "Pullumbus Reforma!"

A yellow light came out of her wand but V almost as quickly did a rebounding spell so the spell bounced straight back to Nina. Just like that, Nina transformed into a chicken and started clucking around. The twins quickly grabbed onto V and started running back to the castle as Nina's goons gathered around her in attempt to try help her. Together they laughed so hard that they were all out of breath and their stomachs hurt a great amount.

"That was brilliant!" The twins said at the same time.

"I know." V said taking a bow.

The game was a tough one and had dragged on till early evening so it was around time for dinner but because of the win, the Slytherins for sure were going to throw a celebration in the dungeons. V and the twins could already hear music blasting from the common room as they walked throw the halls of the dungeons.

When they entered, they found Marcus Flint standing on a table with many gathered around him cheering loudly. He had a butter beer in hand as well as the rest of the team and people who were close to the team.

"And look! Our little psycho has arrived." Marcus said pointing in V's direction.

V sighed, and the old nickname is back she thought to herself. She was trying to stay out of sight and just have some butter beer but of course, with her bright hair there was no way of doing so, especially with the dark contrast of the room.

Everyone pushed her forward towards the table where Marcus grabbed onto her wrist pulling her upwards, onto the table. V rubbed the back of her neck awkwardly, not liking these sorts of situations.
