Sweet Serenity

Chapter 2

-- Something About Family --

After I paid Hagrid a quick visit at his hut, I went straight to the dining hall and see that Harry, Ron and Hermoine are there. The dining hall is not that busy since it is still early for dinner, the professors' table are not yet full either, I can see that Professor McGonagall is there sitting beside Professor Flitwick who is having a chat with Professor Trelawney.

"Hey there guys!", I walked up to them with a smile.

"Hey (Y/N), how's your day?", asked Harry while scooting a space for me to sit on.

"It was okay, not that bad. I drew someone and visited Hagrid, I actually thought the three of you would be there though.", chatting up with the three.

You're probably thinking that I'm sorted in the same house as the trio, but nope I'm not. I got sorted to Slytherin four years ago, and sitting with them would probably be a talk in our house. I just don't get it why until now the rivalry of the two houses is still going on, like come on! Anyway I saw Draco giving me a disgusted look, the guts of this boy. Don't get me wrong, I don't hate my fellow slytherin students but Draco's group just irritates me but there are times that I like them too.

Draco kept eyeing me and gossiping with his friend Crabbe who was laughing and telling whatever Draco told him to Goyle who made the same reaction as he did. After I gave the trio a small wave, I went ahead to my house's table and sat alone, most of the students there stay away from me as if I have a disgusting illness that will infect them too, but I don't, they just despise me and call me names like 'traitor', 'bad blood', 'fool', and other similar names. At first I was hurt but then I got used to it, guess I'm fine with it as long my friends won't and don't get hurt.

When the dinner started, my owl Furious, who has big golden eyes and grey to almost silver feathers flew to me and put down a letter. I opened it and at first there nothing written to it so I thought I should read this with no other eyes are looking, I quickly eat my dinner and went to the girl's bathroom to read the letter, then the ink showed itself.

Dear Miss (Y/N Burns)

After you are done with your dinner, at exactly 8PM go to my office because I would like to discuss something with you about your past and future and perhaps share some thoughts about the muggle candies that you've given to me last time you visited my office.

Headmaster,

Albus Dumbledore

After I have read the letter, it burned into ashes. I looked up to the clock and see that it's just 7 o'clock and I still have an hour to freshen up and change and before that I glance at the mirror and my eye color flashed a blue tint while I frowned, quickly I shrug the feeling so it will turn back to my normal eye color not wanting others to notice that they've changed. I rushed to the stairs and suddenly bumped into someone.

"May I suggest you to walk and not run like a fool Miss Burns? Or perhaps you're too stupid to understand that it is a foolish thing to run as you climb up the stairs?", snarled by a tall man.

"I am truly sorry sir.", I look up to see who I bumped into.

"Why are you rushing? Is there any problem? Did you see a werewolf inside the castle?", a blacked hair professor asked with a monotone voice.

"No sir.", looking straight to his onyx orbs.

"Then you should not run!", he leaves.

I apologized again even if he was walking away, continued climbing up the stairs until I reached my room. I freshened up and change into a more comfy clothing and headed to the Gryffin statue and whispered 'Lemon Drops'. It slowly rotates and I took a few steps and knocked at a wooden door.

"Ah... Miss Burns, come in, it is a pleasure to see you.", an old man with sparkling blue orbs greeted me.

A/N: Hi lovelies! Here's a short chapter. I'll try to update once a week. What do you think is her past about? What will Dumbledore tell about her future? Will someone be in it? Someone who will give a huge turn to her life?
