Worthless the Forgotten One and the Half Blood Prince

Dumbledores speech

In the great hall everyone was chattering. "Don't worry. She'll be here in a minute." Draco said eating his jelly and then Hermione attacked him.

"Will you stop eating? Your best friend who is like a sister is missing!" Hermione said and looked to Draco as Neville looked to Hermione nervously at her temper.

"Oi. Turn around you lunatic." Draco said and saw Worth and Luna entering.

"She's covered in blood again. Why is she always covered in blood?" Neville asked with worry as he wondered what happened now.

"It looks like her own this time." Hermione said and Draco nodded but I sighed, and sat at the front next to Severus.

"Where have you been? And why are you covered in blood?" Severus whispered to her concerned as he saw the blood on her.

"Just outside and it's just a nose bleed." I said and shook Severus off as I got some tissue and dabbed my nose. I didn't want him to know what happened. "What did I miss?" I asked curiously.

"The same with the sorting and the hat urging us all to be braver and stronger in these troubled times." Severus informed her.

"This is going to be another year when something happens." I said and Severus paled as he knew what. "And also it's easy for him to say that he's a hat he doesn't have the Dark Lord after you." I whispered and Severus nodded in agreement as Moody was sat down at the table.

Albus went to his podium and the gilded owl on front of the podium spreads its wings. "Very best of evening to you all. First off, let me introduce the newest members of our staff Horace Slughorn." Albus said Horace stood up in his brown robes and cap. The students applaud. "Professor Slughorn, I'm happy to say has agreed to resume his old place as Potions Master." Albus said to that one. "Meanwhile, the post of Defence Against the Dark Arts will be taken by Professor Snape." Albus said and this was it.

"Sev?" I said surprised and Severus smirked and chuckled. Yes, he finally got the position.

Draco though was glum and Neville looked to him concerned with Hermione as he sat with them.

"Now, as you know each and every one of you was searched on your arrival here tonight. And you have the right to know why. Once there was a young man, who, like you sat in this very hall walked this castles corridors, slept under its roof. He seemed to all the world a student like any other. His name? Tom Riddle." Albus said and that got the students whispering as they had listened anxiously. I groaned and banged my head on the table.

"Why the heck did he have to say that for?" I asked not knowing I would get an answer.

"Because these children need to be warned." Moody said gruffly to her and I looked towards him. How did he get there? A second ago it was just Sev and now he comes out of the blue? That's creepy.

"Today, of course he's known all over the world by another name. Which is why, as I stand looking out upon you all tonight I'm reminded of the somberinf fact. Everyday, every hour this very minute, perhaps dark forces attempt to penetrate the castles walls. But in the end, their greatest weapon is you." Albus said and I looked towards Draco who was resting his head on his hands lost in thought. "Just something to think about." Albus said to that. "Now, off to bed. Pip-pip." He said and I looked to him as if 'Really?'

Severus got up and held out his arm and I took it as we got up and we walked, but Moody came to the two of them. "Why are you following us, Moods?" I asked with a raised eyebrow as I wanted to get away from him.

"That's none of your concern, Worth." Moody said and I looked to Moody with that because he normally tells me when it's my concern.

I sighed as I walked with Severus as Moody followed. "What am I going to do when Voldemort's gone?" I muttered to myself, thinking.

"Enjoy peace. Go about your normal day life without worrying about any of this. Your brother on the other hand will have to get used to the fame." Moody said gruffly and I rolled my eyes and Severus did the same.

"Normal? What's normal about my life?" I muttered. "No Voldemort, no Deatheaters." I said and snorted. Moody raised an eyebrow with curiosity.

"That's definitely true with you life." Severus muttered and I smirked.

It we continued as we came outside my portrait. "None of this is your fault, Worth." Moody said and I snorted. Of course it is.

"Everything basically is my fault. Everyone thinks they depend on Harry that's a lot of bull. Ollivander was caught and I couldn't do anything." I snapped and Moody and Severus looked taken a back by that.

"This isn't your fault." Moody growled in frustration, but I rolled my eyes. He doesn't know what I do.

"Goodnight, Moody and Sev." I said and closed the portrait and Moody shook his head and Severus was concerned.

"Stubborn, Worth." Moody muttered as Severus and he walked away as Moody did patrols.
