chapter 3: the incident

blanca's pov

I was woken up by sun rays warming my cheeks. Oh, to stay in here forever, cuddled up with the quilt...
"Blanca, wake up! It's nearly 8, we can't be late!" Hermione kept yelling. She was in her robes already, of course. Then I remembered. It was Monday morning and my first day at Hogwarts was about to begin! Second day, to be accurate. Yesterday Sorting Hat sorted me in Gryffindor...I looked at other girls who shared the dormitory with me, Lavender Brown and Parvati Patil. They were still asleep, so, making as little noise as possible, I got out of bed and went to the bathroom to take a cold shower.

Hermione and I were already in the Hall, having breakfast. I was very excited to start learning magic, yet I couldn't get something out of my mind since the day before.

"Hermione, do you know who Draco Malfoy is?"

Hermione dropped her toast. She looked at me, surprised.

"What made you ask that?"

"Oh, I don't know...I met him yesterday, he seemed very nice and—"

"Well, he is certainly NOT nice," she cut me off, "He's the evilest person in this school, from Slytherin of course,"

I couldn't believe that. "But Hermione, he was very kind—"

"Did he know you're from Gryffindor?"

I widened my eyes. "We met before the Sorting Ceremony..."

"That's what I was thinking," Hermione went back to her toast, "Believe me or not, he won't be so nice anymore as he already knows you're in Gryffindor. Slyherins are mean and cruel, they're our enemies. Remember that if you don't want to get in trouble."

"Morning," Harry and Ron greeted us, taking opposite seats. Three red heads - a girl and two boys joined us as well. I immidiately understood they must have been Ron's siblings - younger sister Ginny, and Fred and George - his older brothers who were always joking around.

"How is your second day here, Blanca?" Ginny asked me.

"I'm very excited to learn everything!" I replied, smiling. "But without Hermione I would never get here without getting lost."

"Harry, Quidditch practice starts in two weeks!" George suddenly exclaimed.

"Angelina is now captain of our team," Fred added, grinning . I tried to pay attention to what they were saying but suddenly, owls started flying above our heads. I was surprised when I received two letters. One was from my parents and the other one was from none other than Albus Dumbledore. He wanted me to visit him at 7pm, after the lessons.

"We're going to be late!" Hermione suddenly shouted and this time, she was right. Our first lesson was Herbology. We quickly got up and rushed out of the Hall. Hermione, Harry, Ron and I were on our way to the Greenhouse, running down the corridor when suddenly...

CRASH.

I bumped into someone. Again.

"Oh my god, Blanca, are you okay?" I heard Hermione quickly going back to me. I started grabbing all the books that fell on the floor.

"Yeah, I'm alright...I'm really sorry, we're in hurry..." I looked up to see... Draco. Only this time, he wasn't alone. He was accompanied by two boys, both thick, looking rather dumb. When our eyes met, at first I could see the same sparkles he had yesterday. But then, his eyes immidiately turned blank.

"Mind where you're going, Davis," he said coldly.

I was shocked.

"Mind your language Malfoy!" I heard Harry. He and Ron must have noticed that Hermione and I stood behind.
