Theodora Riddle {A Harry Potter fanfic} *Completed*

Chapter Seventeen.

The next day everyone arrived back from their Christmas holidays. Draco smiled at Theodora but she glared at him. She still hadn't forgiven him because he was rude and obnoxious to the other houses.

Abigail and Theodora were sitting on the Slytherin green sofa admiring Theodora's mini Hungarian Horntail in his mini gold cage. A girl with blonde curly hair and icy blue eyes sat next to them. She was in Theodora and Abigail's year but they had never talked to her. It was the girl who had waved at the pair one day.

"Hello," she said "I'm Ellie Lestrange."

"Theodora Riddle." Theodora said.

"Abigail Zhang." Abigail added.

"Is that a Hungarian Horntail?" Ellie asked. Theodora nodded.

"This is Fangs, I got him for my birthday." Theodora said, showing Ellie, Fangs. Ellie laughed as he shot fire at her fingers.

"Amazing! Happy birthday!" Ellie said.

"Your mum's Bellatrix Lestrange, isn't she?" Abigail asked. Ellie nodded sadly, looking ashamed.

"She's in Azkaban though with my father. I live with my aunt, uncle and cousin - the Malfoys." Ellie said. Theodora nodded. She liked Ellie. The three girls spent most of the evening talking and laughing. By dinner that evening they were best friends.

Abigail introduced Ellie to Bella and Arianna and Ellie liked them instantly. The five friends were getting along famously.

Zoe Trent, a mean Slytherin in their year came over. Her purple hair reached her waist and her blue eyes were narrowed. Her mouth was pulled into a sneer.

"Oh look, blood traitors at the Slytherin table! No Gryffindors or Ravenclaws allowed - only Slytherins!" Zoe hissed. Arianna rolled her eyes and Bella merely shrugged; they ignored Zoe and the insult rolled off them like water off a ducks back. Abigail, Ellie and Theodora glared at Zoe.

"Go away, Zoe!" hissed Ellie.

"Sticking up for blood traitors now, Lestrange? Mummy will be so disappointed." Zoe retorted.

"They're my friends and my mum will never know because she's in Azkaban for life, Trent!" Ellie snapped. Zoe scoffed and turned around to talk to Millicent Bulstrode and Pansy Parkinson, her friends.

Theodora rolled her eyes at Zoe and turned back to talk to Ellie. Soon it was time for bed and Ellie, Abigail and Theodora wearily walked up the stairs to their dorm. There was four to a dorm. In Theodoras was Ellie, Abigail, herself and Pansy Parkinson. Pansy was a little annoying and she constantly talked about Draco. Ellie rolled her eyes and told funny stories about Draco from when he was younger. Pansy was nice enough though.

Theodora fell back on her bed with one thought in her mind.

The quartet had gained a new member and Theodora had a new friend: Ellie Lestrange.
