Talking to friends or random prefect who steal desserts, yes. Talking to scary teacher that if he wanted to, could give me a detention... no.  What a paranoid person I am. 

But I REAAAAALLLLYYYYYY wanted a snake.

In commonroom  Slughorn was talking with some 5th years about stuff that I couldn't care less about, " maybe I should wait till later" I whispered to Severus. " That's what you said half an hour ago, its Slugorn for Merlins sake" he replied.

I sort of sat there glued to my seat freaking out, teachers are scary. Suddenly I was on the floor and Severus was smirking at me. I will kill him in his sleep.  

"ASK" He whisper-yelled at me. 

I got up clumsily and began walking up to the scary professor. 

thump thump 

thump thump

I could hear my heart thumping in my ears.  

' NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE' I thought to myself, what the hell happened to that girl who called that annoying jigglypuff a particularly good finder it was one of the worst insults/comebacks ever but at least I didn't feel like I was going to be sick.

What the hell was wrong with me?

"Um excuse he Proffeser?" I said as the 5th year was walking away. 

"Yes my dear girl?" he said with that too happy smile on his face... he looked like a clown, clowns are CREEPY! 

" I was wondering if... um... have you ever thought of getting a house pet..... Um like it would be pretty cool if we could have a snake here in the commenroom." I half mumbled. 

"I actually have been thinking about it myself lately but I don't think Dumbeldore would approve" he Said standing up and brushing himself of. 

"oh"

"But what dumbeldore doesn't know cant hurt him" He said chuckling. 

Slughorn is not a scary man.... Just a slightly weird one.

                                                                                      ❇

Dreams are nice, waking up from dreams are not nice.

"Bellatrix I swear if your-" I said as I up but it  turned out Bellatrix had not pinched me awake but in fact a little Brown own with a letter tied to its leg. I had seen the post owls at breakfast, at first they freaked me out but it seems that wizards have an odd way of mailing, though I wasn't sure how they got the owls to post there mail.

"Thank you" I whispered to the owl un-tieing the letter from its leg, I began to open the letter but the owl nipped my finger.

" OWWWW!" I exclaimed but i quickly shut up, I didn't want to wake the others.

" Oh shit, sorry I forgot" I didn't swear a lot but hanging out with Bellatrix did have its repercussions.

I digged through my bedside draw for a knut and quickly found the bronze coin and placed it into the little owns leather pouch which was tied on its other leg. ( I was luck I had seen the others do this each morning with the daily prophet or I might of just turned the owl into a nugget 

( NAh I'm just kidding I wouldn't turn him onto a nugget...he's sooooo CUTE!) 

With that he flew off through the front door... how the heck did he get into out commenroom anyway? 

well never mind that I've got mail!

ripping open the letter I quickly threw aside the envelope,using the moonlight that shone threw the lake and into our window giving off a green light I began to read.

 Dear Mia, 

I'm sorry that I havn't written before, I forgot that you did not know how to use the Owl Post. 

I hope that you are happy at Hogwarts, I know how much you wanted to go even though I had told you the dangers of magic. I understand why you wanted to go because I too remember what it was like to be a Young witch receiving my letter and being ready to leave that instant.

So what I'm trying to say is that I'm sorry that I tried to stop you from going there and I hope you can forgive me.

Anyway enough about me, how are you?

What house are you in I was a Slytherin, but I don't care at all what house you're in just so long as your happy.  

How about your friends? what are they like? and you're teachers, I want to know every detail!

Have you talked about your ... Sight to anyone. I know that I forgot to tell you but you should talk with professor Dumbeldoor about it, he may be able to help you learn about it. 

I giggled at how she spelled his name ' Dumbeldoor' shes as bad as remembering wizard names as I am. Anyway back to the letter

 How are you at your lying lessons? I know I never told you but I was keeper for The quiditch team when I was in my 4th year, but we can talk about that when you come back for Halloween. 

You are coming for Halloween? I would love it if you would come here for the weekend on Halloween ( yes it is allowed most student do it)  

Please write back soon, If your not sure how I'm sure your house Prefect will help your or one of your friends.

Love Always.

Mother

Folding up the letter to put in my drawer I found a few tears escape my eyes.

It had been 3 weeks since I had been at Hogwarts and I had not gotten homesick once, in fact I hardly thought about home at all, but know I felt it all rush at me at once. 

I lied down and pressed my head into my pillow hoping that my sobbing wouldn't wake up the others.

Taking a few breaths I had calmed down but tears were still pouring out of my eyes. 

" Go to sleep, go to sleep go to sleep" I whispered to myself willing myself to fall into that dream I was having before the owl had woken me up.

" Bella" whispered a voice across the room.

"what?" I asked Bellatrix.

" I prefer to be called Bella" She said rolling over. 

I quickly fell asleep, thinking about how Bella had reached out her hand to me in the smallest of ways.
