The Unknown

Chapter 55

Dahlia, Hermione and Neville couldn't stay and help the ghosts all day as they did have class and thanks to the new rules in place for Dahlia, it meant that she had to go and she had no idea what they had even been learning for the past week. It just had to be Thursday, so she had the Avengers' classes, or at least two of them, but one of them was Thor's class and she really didn't want to attend. Hermione practically had to pull her to class after getting their bags and books from the tower and everyone was still staring at her as she walked the corridors. Dahlia tried to think it had something to do with her dress, with her long-sleeved Olympus green dress with golden trimming at the wrist of the dress, a flower pattern along the edge of the neckline and her golden belt that held her pouch, wand and dagger. She knew it wasn't her attire though but her existence that rather scared them or held their curiosity.

It was History of Current World and Realms which she was hating with every step she took when they got down the corridor as she saw that the students that were lined up outside were starting to go in. She glanced at Akio and Tonks who were following and asked, "you're not coming in are you?"

Tonks looked at Akio as if the decision of her going in was dependent on what his decision was, and he answered, "I do not trust Asgardians".

"So, you're coming in," she sighed, and Tonks nodded.

They entered the room, and everyone stared at them as Hermione and Dahlia sat down next to one another and Neville sat next to Dean as Ron had moved seats to sit next to Seamus. Tonks and Akio stayed stood at the back as students were looking cautiously at them, but Pansy couldn't help as she said, "what are you doing here? You're not one of us".

Steve answered, "she's a student, she has a right to be here too".

"You've spent all year telling us how bad her family are," Tracy said, "it's not safe to be around her".

Dahlia sighed as she brought her books out of her bag and said, "and the majority of what they have taught about my family is bull so why don't you keep your mouths shut".

A few students smirked, laughed or scoffed and Pansy said, "and if we don't, you're going to get your soldier on us?"

Dahlia turned her head to glare at her but a second later, Pansy jumped up and screamed, "FIRE, FIRE!" she pointed to her desk.

Everyone around looked confused, except Thor who commanded, "enough".

Dahlia glared at him then and said, "I don't do as you tell me to do. I'm not one of your brainless citizens and I'm not the one who's taught an entire school wrong and spreads lies".

"Dahlia, please," Steve said, "stop whatever you're doing. You're just encouraging what they believe".

Her glare disappeared as she looked to Steve then hesitated for a moment before she looked down to her desk and Pansy who was on the floor curled up, assuming the fire was all around her, stopped screaming and looked around everyone. "DIDN'T YOU SEE THAT?"

"What?" Theo asked.

"FIRE!" she exclaimed. "Fire everywhere".

Dahlia rolled her eyes and said, "a simple illusion, grow up".

"See!" Pansy almost shouted as she stood, "we're not safe".

Steve looked to Dahlia and she said, "want me out of the class?".

"No," he said then smiled slightly, "I want you to teach it".

"What?" Dahlia asked surprised.

"We've heard Thor's side, about the prophecy about Niflheim, let's hear the opposing side," he glanced to Thor and shrugged, "it's only fair".
