The Unhouseable Girl

"No wonder no house wants you"

"Ahhh Klara!" Mcgonagall said as soon as the door shut being me.

I stayed quiet and awkward. "I've got your robe just over here follow me."

She led me to a window ledge where a gorgeous robe hung.

It had a shield in-crested on the left side of the chest, each quarter a different colour.

On each cuff was a small, barely noticeable house symbol.

On the left, Gryffindor and Ravenclaw. And on the right, Slytherin and Hufflepuff.

It was gorgeous just like everything else at Hogwarts.

"It's wonderful isn't it dear?"

I just nod in agreement, amazed.

"I assume you have lessons starting Klara so I won't keep you any longer."

She shoos me out the door and closes it shut behind me, leaving me to cling onto my newly given robe.

The sound of students hurrying to their lessons slaps me back to reality and I quickly make my way to potions.

I'm lucky Daisy showed me where all my lessons are otherwise I never would make it in time.

When I reach the door I realise everyone else is already inside.

I slip through the door hoping not to be noticed but Snape calls me out on it straight away.

"Do you think you can show up to my lesson whenever sees fit? Just because it's your first lessons doesn't mean you can use that as an excuse. However, I won't subtract any house points but in the future, I will not tolerate tardiness. Take a seat...."

His eyes scan the room trying to spot a seat for me.

"next to Malfoy am don't take all day about it. I have a lesson to teach."

No. Any seat but there!

When I sit down, Malfoy has a massive smirk on his face and I already know that potions is going to suck this year.

Malfoy whispers something to me when I sit down but I barely acknowledge it and get my stuff out of my bag.

When it's finally time to start making the potion I quickly realise that it's me who's going to be doing all the work.

What else could I expect from Malfoy.

I start gathering the ingredients and leave Malfoy to talk to a boy who I think is called Blaise.

Every so often their eyes flicker over to me and I return it with an icy glare.

So what if they stare. Let them.

It's only when I start crushing a poor insects legs that Blaise tries to say something.

"Hey, I'm Blaise Zabini." He sticks out his hand hinting for me to shake it.

I roll my eyes at him. "What makes you think I care?" I snap.

His expression doesn't falter in the slightest.
In fact me laughs?!

"We're not all like Malfoy."

I turn my body to face him. "From what I've seen, it doesn't appear that way."

"I guess I'll have to fix that then." He says too slowly.

Malfoy is obviously getting bored not having all the attention on him and start to tug on prices of my robe.

"What even is this? It looks like completely garbage. No wonder no house wants you if that's what you look like in a robe."

At first, I try to ignore him and focus on the work but it gets harder and harder and harder. I can feel my anger rising through me like hot lava.

When he starts to grab the sleeves I spin around and carve a massive cut through his robe with my wand.

"What the fuck have you done you rat?!" He yells.

Blaise can't stop laughing and starts slapping the table repeatedly.

All the commotion draws Snapes beady eyes over to us.

I can't get in trouble for this. Not on my first day.

I consider threatening Malfoy to make him not tell but realise that it's my fault this happened. I need to face the consequences, no matter how bad.

But to my surprise, when Snape asks what's happened Malfoy says that *he* cut his robe.

What? Why would he do that.

Before I can ask him Snape send him to go get a new robe and he doesn't appear for the rest of the lesson.

Maybe he's just messing with my head? But why not get me into massive trouble? He could of done that easily. I wouldn't of blamed him.

"That..was..amazing." Blaise says through fits of laughter.

I smile at him halfheartedly, still confused about Malfoy.

When the lessons finally ends Blaise taps me on the shoulder.

"Hey what you did back there was hysterical. Malfoy got exactly what was coming to him. I was wondering if you could help me with the homework quickly? I don't get it at all and considering you're part Ravenclaw I thought it'd be smart to ask you."

Malfoy didn't snitch on me and now Blaise wanting to hang out? What's going on?

"Ummm I'm a bit busy now. I'm meeting some friends."

"Tomorrow same time? Perfect."

He doesn't even wait for a reply, just hurried straight off after Pansy and Millicent.

This has been one strange day.......
