The Bookworm

Chapter 4

(Switch to Electra-Ivy POV)

So in the week I've been here after what happened on the train. Everyone now hates me because precious pure blood Max got smacked for what he said. They also push me out of class conversations, as well as making it nearly impossible to go to the library and read to relax.

I have potions first period and I am not looking forward to it. I slide my robe on pulling my hood over my head to avoid any confrontation, as I exit my room.

I walk swiftly to the classroom and take my seat. Snape gives me a strange look as I still have my hood up but waves it off quickly. The class starts to fill, finally Aurora joins me.

We run through potions pretty quickly. We're just doing research for our next lessons practical. Aurora was very good at potions, she knew what to put in, how much and exactly how to get it perfect. I was much more of a care for magical creature nerd myself.

Aurora and I advance to to charms class.

"Wingardium Leviosa is our lesson today" calls the professor.

We all chatted whilst trying to learn. Harper-Mae is the first to get it. She always has been good at charms, just like our mother. Aurora is next on the list to perfect it.

"How many times have mother and I told you-" I cut her off.

"It's LeviOsa not leviosA" I chuckle. "I know I just can't get it, it took dad a while too don't forget"

Harper-Mae just laughs in response. By the end of the lesson I still hadn't got it, it just made us all laugh more than anything. Next up was caring for magical creatures, my favourite. Hagrid was the best teacher.

"Right you lot. Today we are to meet the Hippogriff. Who would like to try and befriend Buckbeak?" Hagrid smiles. Everyone else backs up and leaving me on the front line, not that I was fussed. Buckbeak is a beautiful creature. "First you give him a nice bow, if he bows back you can go touch him."

"Ok" I smile. Bowing on the spot. Damien looks nervously at me, his face soon returns to normal once he notices me glance his way.

Buckbeak returns the politeness by bowing back. "You can touch him now Electra-Ivy" Hagrid smiles.

I walk towards him smiling and reach out my hand, Buckbeak snuggles in, turning his body on a side as if to offer me a ride. I glance to Hagrid and he nods. I climb onto Buckbeaks back, as he takes off into the air. My hair gliding in the wind, almost as if it is dancing. I look down at the rest of my class, it was beautiful to be able to see them from afar. We flew around Hogwarts, I offered a smile to a few first years gawking at Buckbeak. We flew to the lake, Buckbeak ducking down towards the water, I lean to a side grading my hand in the lake with a huge grin on my face, we finish the ride by landings back beside Hagrid.

"Can I give him some meat?" I ask, Hagrid nods throwing me a piece of chicken which I pass to Buckbeak.

"It can't be that hard to befriend that animal, if a mud blood can do it why can't I?" Snaps Max, gaining a glare from Damien, and a swift head shake from Hagrid as he finishes the lesson.

We all gander to the great hall, we're we have some quick food before the big Slytherin vs Griffindor Quidditch match, its exciting.

Hunter is the seeker on our team and you could feel his nerves radiating down the Slytherin table. Deep down we all knew he would be fine.

We venture to our rooms to change into comfy clothes, with our robes on top. I go for a pair of skinny jeans and a green T-shirt. Carefully throwing my robe over the top. I didn't bother with makeup.

Aurora put on a pair of black tights accompanying it with a pretty green dress, and covering it with her robe.

We head to the Quidditch pitch stands, people had banners, and were cheering, its a beautiful atmosphere. As the Slytherin team are called, I squeal with excitement, along with most of the other girls. Damien was sat lower thank us and clearly cheered for Hunter, I could see Harper-Mae cheering for Noah from the Griffindor stand.

"SLYTHERIN WINS" calls the narrator of the game. We all squeal, the boys were all cheering for Hunter, it is the most beautiful sight to see. As we all head back to our rooms our heads held high with smiles beaming ear to ear.

I wander down the narrow hall to our common room, along with Aurora. Both of us smiling as we went. Of course I had grabbed a book from my room a few moments before we all decided to go to the common room for a fun night. Sort of like a little party for our victory. We enter the common room within a few moments.

Going to sit on a sofa near the fire alongside a few other girls, we have a nice chatter, eventually they decide to go oogle over Hunter. Aurora and I stay out. I pull out my book as does Aurora. We chat whilst reading and relax nearby the fire.

Hunter joins us for a few moments, I give him a half hug and congratulate him, Aurora just congratulates him. He returns back to the team over near the table.

After a few hours I realise how tired I am and go to bed. It has been a good day, and not to many people said nasty things I just hope for the best for the rest of the week.
