The Girl Who Was Forgotten

Chapter 9- How can blood not be Pure?

As the weeks drifted by and the days got colder I began finding myself getting used to the daily life at Hogwarts.

I got up with the girls in my dorm, ate breakfast with with our little group ( Bellatrix, Avery, Quirrell, Severus and a few others that were friends of friends that only hanged out with us sometimes so I had trouble remembering there names) then I went to classes, after all the classes were done I hanged out with Lilly and a few of her friends from Grydindor as well as the others.

"Ugh I hate the cold" I said as we all sat looking across the black lake.

"you chose the wrong place to live then" said Lilly "you should of gone to a wizarding school In Australia or something."

"There's a wizading school in Australia?" I honestly never knew that. 

"you're so gullible" said one of the Gryfindor friends, he had golden brown hair that was fairly long about as long as mine was since I cut it so it was just a little above the shoulders. I think his name was Harry.

"Hey I've never been to the wizarding world since this year so cut me some slack" I exclaimed leaning over Lilly who was half lying down next to me. "your blocking my sun" she said imitating a stereo type American accent. "there is no sun you twit" I said as I sat back down shivering. 

"What do you mean you've never been to the wizarding world" asked Bellatrix. 

" I was raised in the muggle world" I explained.

"but you're a pure blood ?" she said looking me dead on, it was quite unnerving.

" whats that?" I said to the others, "you honestly don't know?" asked Avery who I though was was half asleep. I shook my head really confused, how can blood not be pure?

"A pure blood is a wizard or witch who has no muggle blood in there family tree" said Lilly the way she pronounced it was like she was quoting exactly form a book...knowing Lilly that was most likely the case.

"There are four kinds or 'bloods' or really or be put more correctly types of wizards and witches, but I still find that terminology a terrible description."  She continued.

"I'm sorry to be so Naive but what are they?... the four I mean" I asked still quite confused.

" Pure blood, Half Blood, Muggle born and squib they all are what they sound like, but squib doesn't sound like anything so I guess I should tell you that they are the opposite to muggle borns they are non magical people born to  magical parents" said Severus in a almost monotone.

Yikes was this atmosphere terrible!

"Well I dont Know what kind of family I come from... Its always been just me and my mum, I know shes a witch because when I was little I found a few photos of her in Hogsmead but she never told me about my dad exept that he was a scumbag" I said as I got up trying to lighten the mood.

"Come on dinner should be soon and I'm starving" I said as I started walking toward the castle.

"I t-though you w-were cold!" yelled out Quirrell as they got up. 

"Well now I'm Both!" I replied stopping 5 meters away from them letting the catch up. 

Half way to the castel I couldn't help but ask Belletrix something I've been itching to ask since we met.

"Do you Like being called Bellatrix or do you perfer to be called something else?" I asked across the group as she was on the other side ( 3 people across form me) either she didn't hear me or didn't want to anwere because she just kept looking strait ahead.

After the whole incident with the hair on my second day, I've got a lot of rep with the Slytherins, now not so much because everyone had  gotten over it but when it first in the first week I had people randomly come up to e and then pat me on the back, It was quite freaky the first time but I soon realized that is was true was everyone says about Slytherin, were not just a house were a family. A very noisy family with some slightly annoying siblings.

That's why I wasn't nervous when I asked Lucius " Can we get a house snake?" over dessert.

" WHAT?!" he said choking on custard tart.

"Our house emblem is the snake so why not have a Python or something?" It was a good idea in my head.

]\me for a minute or two and I found myself becoming self conscious, 

"It's stupid... just forget I said anything" I muttered turning to my dessert. 

"It's actually a good idea, you should talk with Slughorn I would but I think you should because it's your idea." 

and with that he was gone with the entire platter of custard tarts. I swear whenever I talk to that prefect he gives great advice then disappeared with desserts.
