The Girl Hidden In the Shadows (Harry Potter Fanfiction)

~6 (1/2)~

Had to divide this chapter because it was seriously long and wasn't even finished writing it. Honestly this was one highlight of the story I wanted to incorporate to the best of my abilities. This not only shows a little more of Nova's abilities it also raises more questions than answers, which is the main point; also it was badass how it was in the movies although it was understandable not adding the small details outside of the duel between Draco and Harry. It was a lot to write for me can't imagine for when they made the movie.

But I must emphasize, THIS IS BOOK VERSION not movie version. It's just when I write it the movie plays in my head in those specific scenes .

Now onto the story

Enjoy~!

A week later, Harry, Ron and Hermione were walking across the entrance hall when they saw a small group of people gathered by the noticed board, reading a piece of parchment that was pinned up; among the crowd was Nova in the middle of Seamus Finnigan and Dean Thomas.

"Nova," called out Hermione. Nova turned and smiled motioning the trio over with the boys she was with also doing the same.

"What's going on?" asked Harry.

"They're starting a Dueling Club" Nova said as the trio looked towards the sign.

"Dueling Club?" said Hermione to which Nova nodded along with Finnigan and Thomas joining in.

"First meeting tonight! I wouldn't mind dueling lessons they might come in handy one of these days..." said Seamus.

"What, you reckon Slytherin's monster can duel?" said Nova as Seamus scoffed playfully nudging her with a playful glare as she chuckled Dean joining.

"Could be useful," said Ron looking at the sign with interest then glancing back at the group. "Shall we go?"

Nova shrugged not really minding it, while Harry and Hermione were all for it. It was already given that Seamus and Dean were going by their excitement.

"Well till the first class begins I'm heading to the library, want to start on this advanced Charms homework, and also do some research, finally got Professor Flitwick's signature for the book I wanted that's in the restricted section," said Nova excitedly, as Dean and Seamus groaned. The trio looked at them.

"Come on, Nova we have free period, I'm not about to waste it in a library," said Seamus. Nova shook her head rolling her eyes

"If you want to leave homework for last that's on you, mind you I have advance classes, one I just finished taking, which means double work for me. I can't exactly waste it," said Nova as Dean sighed.

"We'll meet you there later, we just want to enjoy the free period for a bit," Dean said as Nova nodded.

"You better hope I'm still there by the time you guys come" she said as the duo began walking backwards away with grins

"As if you still won't help us, Nove-Nove" Seamus said with a huge grin when Nova shot him a glare.

"Don't call me that!" she whined as they laughed running away towards the exit. She sighed but smiled and turned towards the trio who were still watching them.

"Shall we?" said Nova as she began walking away towards the library, Hermione quickly following, the boys also following.

"You seem close to Dean and Seamus?" asked Ron as Nova smiled

"In a way yes, we didn't exactly start fully hanging out until the beginning of this year, we socialized on small occasions, and even briefly conversed last year until it changed this semester when we began sitting next to each other in classes," said Nova as they walked next to each other; Harry was right of Nova, Ron on her left and Hermione on Ron's left. "They were the only two I hanged out with from time to time, Hermione as well of course, and my run ins with Fred and George, but outside of that, I was only with Azzie."
