Forever and always

Chapter 5) Bullies

My day continued on the same with all the classes. I enjoyed all of them and found myself enjoying each class. I became close with all my friends and trusted them more and more as the day went on.

That night went down to the common room quietly so I had some time to myself to draw. I found the common room was the perfect place to get inspiration and it was also quiet and calming sitting infront of the slowly dying fire.

I was soon sitting on one of the comfy chairs next to the fire and I put my headphones in which soon blasted 'Dream catcher' By Set It Off (A/N By the way, such an AWESOME song!)

I started drawing one of the plants hanging on the wall. I loved the feeling of my pencil flowing on the page and my hand moved, drawing even the small details.

I finished my drawing not long after and quietly tiptoed back up the stairs after admiring my art for a little bit longer. I got into bed feeling a lot closer to home.

=======================================

I woke up to my alarm and had a shower before getting dressed and doing my hair. I went to breakfast with Finn, Tyler and Anna before quickly running up to the Transfiguration classroom.

I wanted to get there early so I could give Professor McGonagall my drawing. I knew she liked them because I had seen some of my previous works hanging up on her walls. When I got there, I knocked on her office door and she walked out looking surprised until she saw me.

"Hello Tayla dear, why are you here this early" "Well Professor, I wanted to give you my latest drawing because I think you will like it." I replied to her. "It's lovely, thank you" Said Professor whilst tracing over the detailed lines with the tip of her finger. "Would you like tea this afternoon at 4:00?" Professor McGonagall asked. "I would love that very much!"

=======================================

The day continued and I absorbed every piece of information thrown my way. I couldn't wait for my tea with McGonagall and I waited with anticipation.

I walked down to the lake with James, Remus, Peter, Sirius and my drawing book, Everyone talking loudly by my side whilst I think about random stuff.

We make it to the edge of the lake and sit under a beach tree, escaping the bright sun. I start on my drawing, tuning out to everything going on around me. I draw the shiny lake, capturing the glistening waves in the picture. It's almost as if time has stopped around me, my hand trailing down the page, the lines standing out against the ghostly white page.

Then suddenly "Well, well, well, look who we have here. The idiot and her loser friends."

I see the shiny blonde hair of the guy who I bumped into yesterday. "Leave her alone Lucious" Sirius yells out but 'Lucious' has already picked up my book of drawings.

"Oh, so the little loser draws, how interesting," He says with a sarcastic drawl. "Give me my book back" I say quietly. By know we have a little crowd of people watching and I don't want to cause drama in my first week here.

"I think the giant squid would like to look at your drawings, don't you think" Lucious said with a cruel laugh and threw my book towards the black lake but I was too fast for him and whipped out my wand, muttering accio which caused my book to fly right back at me. I quickly grabbed my stuff and ran, not wanting to experience the 'Thats a fifth year spell's and the 'how did she do that's.

I ran all the way to McGonagall's office and didn't stop till I got there, ignoring the calls from my friends.

I burst into her classroom and knocked on her door quickly, out of breath from all of the running and ready for some tea to calm me down. Tears were forming in my eyes but I refused to shed them and instead tried to blink them away.

McGonagall answered her door with a confused look but as soon as she saw me her eyes softened and she gave my a sympathetic smile. "Come in and have some tea dear."

"So, what happened?" Professor said as she boiled the kettle so I started to tell her what had happened only minutes before, words pouring out of my mouth before I could stop them. By the end I was reduced to tears and McGonagall came over with the tea before comforting me. "I just feel like they always pick on me Professor, anyways, I'm just being silly and I shouldn't listen to them. Thanks for listening to me Professor." I said as I picked up my teacup that Profesor McGonagall had laid out for me. "I am always here if you need to talk miss Hope"

Before anything else could be said, we heard knocks on the door and the stressed voices of my Grifindor and Hufflepuff friends. As soon as the door was opened, Remus launched into a full explanation. "Professor McGonagall, we can't find Tayla and we've looked everywhere for her but we can't find her and some Slytherins bullied her and..." Before Remus could say anything else I said "I'm over here and I'm fine" They all run over to me and crush me in a hug. 'Kinda need to breathe here" I manage to mutter and they let go of me abruptly.

"Oh Tayla, we thought you went missing," Anna says with a sigh of relief. "We were going to go to Dumbledore but we thought we would go here instead, it was actually Sirius that thought to go here because of your love for transfiguration."

=======================================

"Thanks again Professor," I said as I left to go to dinner. My friends had left a while ago and I had a lovely time talking to McGonagall and drinking tea.

I walked quickly to avoid any repeats of this afternoon and I got when I got to the great hall, I saw my friends at the Hufflepuff table and walked over to them.

I finished dinner with no disturbances and went to the common rooms to draw some more and then going to bed. I definitely couldn't wait to sleep after that eventful afternoon and fell asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow.
