His stare is what had bothered Envy the most. His unblinking, unmoving stare. She didn't particularly mind him invading her personal space. The Ravenclaw claw house had infiltrated her personal space years ago. But his stare was something else. She felt bare under it, as though he knew secrets of her that she doesn't know.
"And who might you be?" Professor Snape had asked Envy. His voice cane out as a long drawl.
"Envy Belva." She replied, watching his stoic face with unblinking eyes. It was her turn to stare at the Professor before her.
"The Belva family died out years ago." Was his response and Envy nodded, indicating that it was true. "Don't think of me as a fool."
"I don't think of you as a fool sir. I am telling the truth." Envy argued. "I am recently brought back to life sir." She added in.
"And are you a learner?" He asked, and it seemed as though he barely even moved his lips to let the words out. Envy shook her head.
"Not a learner sir." The little movement in the corner of her eye is what had broke her stare on the Professor before her and Envy looked away. A boy with platinum blonde hair and two other dark haired boys were mocking Harry and his friends. Harry looked as though he was fuming with anger, ready to explode if needed. Ron didn't look that bothered, it was as though he had expected it. "Excuse me for a moment Professor." Envy said before making her way to Harry and the three Slytherin boys.
"Leave us alone Malfoy!" Envy heard Harry growl.
"Leave them alone." Envy had said and Draco looked behind him. Envy had knitted her brows in a manner of anger and Draco raised his own brow.
"Why should I listen to you?" The boy had snarled and Envy blinked, taken aback by his rudeness.
"Just leave them alone." Envy said through gritted teeth and locked eyes with the blonde boy.
"Who do you think you are to step up to me? Draco Malfoy?" He raised his brow again. Envy then narrowed her eyes.
"I'm Envy. Envy Belva." She spoke, her eyes still narrowed into deadly, thin daggers. Envy watched as Draco's face turn even more pale and his mouth open slightly to form an 'o' shape. "Now beat it!"
Envy turned to look at the three friends as Draco and his two minions scurry away. "Thanks for that Envy." Harry spoke and Envy sent him a smile. "Where are you headed? Perhaps we can accompany you?"
"Don't mind me." She smiled. "I have to answer Snape's a thousand questions about how am I alive."
"Well, that's not happening." Ron spoke and Envy looked in his direction. His focus was behind her and she turned around just in time to see the Professor scurry behind Draco as they turned the corner. "Snape just left with Malfoy."
"Well, since I won't be interrogated, where are you three headed?" Envy asked as she turned around again, to look them all in the eyes.
"I was hoping you could tell us more about these Horcruxes." Hermione said and Envy gently smiled at her. "I only understand half of it, I don't understand his reasons for doing such a thing. To split your soul into eight sounds monstrous and painful."
"And stupid if you ask me." Ron added in and Hermione sent him a glare. The redhead only shrugged his shoulders. But Envy could see the sly smile on his face. It looked as though it wasn't there, but Envy had a good eye. She spent majority of her afterlife searching for these Horcruxes, she missed nothing.
"I'll tell you everything you want to know once we reach our destination." Envy promised. They began walking and Envy followed, making sure not to loose them in the horde of Hufflepuffs that had just stampede past them. "How did you three meet?"
"Platform nine and three quarters." Ron had replied. "Although we met Hermione on the Hogwarts Express. She judged my spell and pulled her wand out on Harry."
"I was fixing his glasses." Hermione protested and Envy regretted ever asking as they began arguing. Ron was shouting on the top of his lungs that they thought she was going to kill Harry and Hermione argued that his broken glasses had irritated her and she fixed them.
"Are they always this noisy?" Envy asked Harry as she squeezed in between Hermione and him. The girl was so busy arguing with Ron she hardly even noticed. But if she did notice, she didn't make it evident.
"Sometimes." Harry replied, glancing in Envy's way. "But once you eventually learn how to drown it out, you hardly even notice they're arguing." Envy said nothing but smile at him and focus on the path before them.
She had no idea where they were taking her but she followed nevertheless. She did after all make a promise to them, one she wasn't willing to break. Envy knew she had to tell them every single thing she knew, every single thing she could remember, and if it meant following them to where ever they were headed, she'd do it a hundred times.
"We're here." She heard Harry announce and the two bickering friends quieted down. Envy looked at Harry and he softly nudged her on the shoulder before he disappeared behind the door.
