Muddy Secrets

4

The year was going incredibly slow and other than Lilah I had no one to really talk to aparently in Ron's opinion "all Slytherins are bad". So Harry slowly distanced himself which I can't say I'm sad about as they did steal Ron's parents flying car to get here. Which is more evil than anything I've ever done I'd prefer not to be in trouble all year around.

However I do speak and learn with Hermione from time to time especially potions it's a shame the teacher Snape seems to have some unresolved anger with me and my family's blood as even despite that it's one of my favourite subjects. Ginny obviously being love struck with Harry which is sort of sickening followed in her brothers footsteps and hasn't talked to me at all! I just want to know why....

Most of the Slytherins were talking about how Draco Malfoy the rich arrogant Slytherin was working so hard as seeker. When I say most of Slytherin I mean this one pug faced girl with dark black hair who wouldn't shut up about it!
Lilah told me her name was pansy and it seemed to fit her well with how she acts in the common room.

Honestly I spend too much time alone in the common rooms I say I'm studying but it's a lie. I enjoy the quite plus it allows me to insult Malfoy when he comes back from training.

"Looking a mess Malfoy" I laugh as he looks at me with rage "you'd think for the "star" player on Slytherin you'd look cleaner"
His face was either red with embarrassment or anger as his bright grey eyes pierced me "Wait till I play mudblood" he barked "then all this hard work will be worth it!" I hummed staring back at the fire.

As a Muggle Slytherin mudblood was a regular name I just had to ignore from cruel purebloods like Malfoy.
The room slowly went out of focus as I slowly shut my eyes....

"EMILY!" someone shook me awake "you've been asleep this entire time?" Lilah screeched her red face getting even brighter. I looked around at all the people in groups rambling and chatting mostly out of curiousity and shock by sounds of it "what's going on?" I yawned rubbing my puffy eyes as Lilah fiddled with her hair.
"THE CHAMBER OF SECRETS HAS BEEN OPENED!"

My eyes must've showed my lack of understanding as it sent Lilah on a full warning "it was a secret place opened many years ago at Hogwarts last time it happened a girl died!" She said her voice cracking "so we've gotta be safe!"

"Especially you mudblood!" I got myself out of my panic to look straight at Malfoys face his dog pansy giggling by his side "Draco~~ don't waste your time talking to a dead woman" I couldn't breathe "what do you mean" I hissed at Malfoy standing up storming over to him and his walking love struck puppy

"answer me now!"
I ordered glancing at them both everyone went silent "well since you're a Muggle you'll be the target again won't you?" With this I didn't have the emotions available to reply taking a sharp breathe I walked out the common room falling onto my bed sobbing. Why don't I fit in anywhere ?

Lilah walked in and sat on my bed I slowly felt a hand on my shoulder which made me sob more "I only wanted to fit in somewhere...." I weakly whimpered as she rubbed my back calmly "you are worth the attention" she replied tightening her grip on me causing my flow of tears to stop

"you're my best friend! I won't let anything happen to you so promise me like the true Slytherin you are you'll be determined to make yourself known!"

I looked up my blurry eyes meeting her angry stare "thank you" I muttered as her face softened so did her grip "I swear I'm going to kill Malfoy" her voice sounded so serious it made me jump. With this statement off her chest she nodded and asked me if there was anything I wanted to do as she couldn't sleep with how worried she was.

I happily replied to her rubbing my tears on my cheek away I wanted to dye my hair not all of it maybe just a side....to feel more confident so I asked if there was a spell.

She burst out laughing "that's too advanced for us! I love transfiguration but were first years!" She scurried to her bed pulling out her trunk "luckily my mom's a hair dresser and I do my own hair so!" At this my eyes widened as she showed me bleach and a massive amount of hair dye "what did you have in mind?"
