Love And War

Chapter 2 Part Two

"One of a wizards rudimentary skills is levitation what the ability to make object fly"
"Do people count as objects"
"What was the Miss Demarco"
"Nothing sir"
"You will have your feathers...now don't forget the nice wrist movement we've been practicing the swish and flick"
"Hey Ella I think he has a wrist fetish"
"No he doesn't shut up"
"Hide your wrist" Aine looked at us in confusion from across the room. I looked at the professor and then back at her I mouthed real wide "THE PROFESSOR HAS A REAL WRIST FETISH" She laughed and Hermione looked at me then at Ella and then at Aine.
"No he doesn't"
"Did you say something Miss Granger" I looked at the teacher and my eyes went wide. I hoped that she wouldn't say it but she did.
"Karina says you have a wrist fetish" I gave her the death glare and looked at the teacher.
"NO I DID NOT"
"YES YOU DID I SAW YOU"
"Ella did I say anything about a wrist fetish"
"No"
"Then she told her" she pointed at Aine and her eyes went wide
"SHE HAS A NAME...Aine did I say anything to you"
"No"
"Plus no one else heard me say anything she's completely mental seeing and hearing things. I'm just trying to get my work done"
"Right Ron, Harry?" I looked over at the boys then they looked at me
"I didn't see anything"
"I didn't hear anything"
"I KNOW SHE SAID IT"
"DID NOT"
"Ladies... Ladies lets focus on our work please" I looked at her and smirked and mouthed a simple "You lose" along with a wink. Aine and Ella both laughed and we looked down when the teacher turned to look at us again.
"Okay Okay we need to focus you try first Karina"
"I guess" I picked up my wand swish and flicked my wrist while saying "Wingardium Leviosa". The feather started to float and I looked at Ella and smiled "Easy you try it"
"See here everyone Miss Granger and Miss Demarco have done it"
I looked at Ella and she rolled her eyes. She took her wand swished and flicked her wrist while saying the charm and she successfully made the feather levitate we both looked at Aine to see she did it too.
"Miss O'Clery Miss Slytherin congratulations"
"Stop stop stop your going to take someone's eyes out beside your saying it wrong it's Leviosa not Leviosaaaa"
"Yeah Ron your going to take someone eyes out and the ghost is going to roam the halls searching for their eyes"
"MY EYES MY EYES WHERE ARE MY EYES"
The class started to laugh and we got back to work. We spent the rest of the class practicing then we were dismissed. We walked the halls then I stopped in front of the great hall. "I'm hungry...anyone one else"
"You'll make it"
"Come on its just to go to herbology, then potions then study hall"
"No I have muggle studies then I have potions and study hall with you guys. I got a schedule mix up by next week the schedule should be fixed then I'll have all my classes with you"
"You don't have herbology"
"Not today...the only days all our classes are together is Tuesday's, Thursday's and Friday's. For now...I'm going to die of hunger become a ghost then roam the halls searching for food"
"Don't be dramatic" I pouted and they shook their head walk walked in the opposite direction. I sighed and turned towards my next class. I sat next to Malfoy and he jumped
"Oh it's just you"
"I'm your only friend no one else want to sit with you cause your a jerk"
"I'm not a-"
"Can I sit here"
I looked up and saw a kid with Slytherin robes on
"Yeah go for it...Your a Slytherin"
"Yeah got sorted yesterday"
"I didn't see you yesterday"
"You were to busy placing your bets... I'm Blaise Zabini"
"Karina Demarco this is Draco Malfoy"
"I'm her bestfriend"
"Yeah....Wait no your not"
"Hello class welcome to muggle studies... in this class we will summon our inner muggle and use muggle supplies like lined paper instead of parchment and ball point pens instead of your ink and quills"
"Fantastic" the class went by quickly we took notes about muggles daily lives and how they go about then the class ended. I walked to options to see Ella and Aine at a table of three with an empty seat. I walked over placed my bag down and walked over to Dracos table.
"Do you have food"
"Not for you"
"Please Draco I'm starving"
"Didn't you have breakfast"
"Yes but-"
"Then no"
"Please"
"No"
"Please"
"No"
"Pleaseeeeee"
"Noooooo"
"PLEASEEEE"
"Fine" he handed me an apple and then looked at me "What's this rubbish"
"An Apple"
"I'd rather die...do you have like a cheeseburger or something in there"
"No"
"You suck" I walked back to the table and banged my head on the table.
"There will be no foolish wand-waving or silly incantations in this class as such I don't expect many of you to appreciate the subtle science and exact art of potion making. However for those of those select few who posses the predisposition I can teach you how to bewitch the mind and ensnare the the senses. I can tell you how to bottle fame, brew glory, and even put a stopper in death. Then again maybe some of you have come to Hogwarts in possession of abilities so formidable that you feel confident enough to not PAY ATTENTION. Mr. Potter our new celebrity...tell me what would I get if I added powered root to asphodel to an infusion of wormwood" Hermione's hand shot up and I looked at Ella and she rolled her eyes
"She's so annoying"
"She's such a now it all"
"Guys" We both looked at Aine and shook her head
"Sorry" we said turning back to where the trio sat.
"You don't know? Well let's try again where Mr. Potter would you look if I asked you to find me a bezoar" Her hand shot up again and I looked at Aine
"No"
"Fine"
"I- I don't know sir"
" and what is the difference between monkshood and wolfbane"
"I don't know sir"
"Pretty clearly fame isn't everything is it Mr. Potter?" the room went quiet and we continued with the lesson we took our notes and Snape explained more what the class was going to be about. Time was passing pretty fast when I wasn't constantly looking at the clock. It took everything inside of me not to look with the occasional help of Aine turning my head back when she saw where I was going to look and the constant reminders Snape had to give me as well.
"Miss Demarco time isn't going to pass any faster is you continue to look at the time"
"Sorry professor I'm just starving"
"Did you eat breakfast"
"Yes"
"Then don't be hungry" I looked at Ella with a 'really' face then looked down at my stomach and pointed to it with my finger. "Hey dude don't be hungry... Professor Snape. That uh didn't work" Both Ella and Aine held in laughter until they couldn't hold it in any longer.
"Sarcasm... Back of the class. Second shelf are some crackers get them shut up and take the notes"
"Aye aye sir" I got up and walked to the back of the class get the snack and walking back. I opened the wrapper and closed my eyes at all the sound it was making.
"MISS DEMARCO..."
"I can't help it... its the wrapper" he continued to look at me and I finished opening it he sighed and turned around back to writing the notes in the air with his wand.
"Do you want some" I said offering the girls they both took two and I got up and walked and walked around the classroom offering the students.
"Do you want some.... hey do you want some...you kid do you want some" Draco and his friends got 2 each and then I walked up to Ron Harry and Hermione "Would you guys like some of my cookies"
"No thank you"
"I want some"
"We said no thank you"
I looked at Hermione and gave both Harry and Ron 2 each "You don't speak for them"
"They're crackers by the way not cookies"
"Same thing"
"MISS DEMARCO...Making noise with the wrapper and now walking around and interrupting other's learning"
"Sharing's caring"
"Sit down"
I walked back to my seat then started to take the notes when it hit me "Pssst... Psssst Professor Snape would you like some cookies" he turned around in a quick movement grabbed the cookies and put them on his desk
"Class dismissed"
"My cookies"
"Come on you've had enough fun" Aine said grabbing her things put them away and helped me with mine while I stayed sitting with a shocked expression on my face.
"Come on Karina...Close your mouth your going to get flies in there" Ella picked me up by my hood and we walked out of class with the same shocked expression on my face
"I didn't even get to have some... see that's what I get for being nice"
"You'll live we just have study hall now"
"STUDY HALL IS TWO HOURS LONG"
"Come on you'll make it"
The pushed me inside the great hall and we got to the table and sat at the very end at the way corner. Aine and Ella sat next to each with the idea of Ella coping the notes we missed from us messing around in class. I sat across from them and laid my head on the table. I jumped when I felt someone move the table and sit next to me but I did not move.
"Sleeping are you Demarco"
"George, Fred you guys scared the shi-"
"DEMARCO" I finally picked up my head to see Draco walking towards me.
"Yes your majesty"
"I need your notes for the stupid class"
"Which ones of all the ones we went to today"
"Muggle studies"
"Why didnt you do them"
"Yeah like I'm going to do that"
"So why do you want them now"
"To do them"
"Right" I held the paper up into the air and he passed grabbed them and sat next to Ella. She looked at me, smirked and wiggled her brows while mouthing the words "Husband"
The twins smirked lowered the head looked towards me and whispered
"oooo"
"Malfoy is your husband. Malfoy is your husband"
"No he's not i'm just a kid I don't have a husband" I laid my head on the table and my stomach rumbled really loud.
"Are you hungry Demarco"
"Noooo my stomach just loves making it own music"
"Ahh"
"Fred... George" I heard Ron's voice as her approached the table. I picked up my head and saw him sit next to his brother with Harry next to him and Hermione sitting directly in front of them making sure to leave a big gap in between her and Draco.
"Do any of you have food I am dying"
"Didn't you eat Snape's cookies earlier"
"No he took them away before I could have any"
"See that's why you don't share Karina"
"Oh shut up Malfoy, You were one of the people that got some"
"So"
"Awww Freddie our little girl shared her snacks and didn't have any left isn't she so kind"
"So kind" One of the twins smiled a teethy smile while the other one closest to me ruffled up my hair and then patted my head
"Ha ha very funny, Pick on the first year"
"I have one." Hermione spoke out quietly. I turned towards her in confusion
"I mean Harry gave me one of his cracker but i'm not hungry so unless he wants it back you can have it"
I looked at Harry and he shook his head
"No you can have it" Hermione smiled and walked over to me. She gave it to me and looked at the ground.
"I'm sorry"
"I'm sorry too, You seem pretty cool. A know it all yes, but pretty cool"
"I THOUGHT IT WAS A COOKIE"
"It is"
"THATS A CRACKER"
"SAME THING"
"NO ITS NOT"
"ONE IS SALTY AND ONE SWEET"
"THEY ARE BOTH A SNACK"
"THEN SAY A SNACK"
"OH MY GODDDDDD"
"IT'S NOT THAT COMPLICATED"
"FRED, GEORGE, KARINA NO YELLING OVER WHAT IT WAS IT'S IRRELEVANT" Ella yelled then realized she spoke to him and turned pink.
"Karina, Aine will you come to the bathroom with me"
"All three of them"
"Why do girls go to the bathroom in packs what's the worst that can happen" We got up and started to walk out then I turned back
"Hey Hermione come on you too" She smiled and walked with us. When we got to the bathroom Ella started to giggle and I looked at her in confusion.
"Ella?"
"I talked to him"
"Oh my god I thought you were dying"
"What's happening here"
"Ella has a crush on Fred and Aine has a crush on George"
"KARINA"
"She needed to know"
"How do you know whos who"
"Fred's the cute one"
"George is the cute one"
"Oh well that's a big help except your forgetting WE DON'T FIND THEM CUTE or do you Hermione"
"No"
"So we still don't know whos who"
"Fred had a shorter face"
"George has a mole"
"Fred has a scar on his left eyebrow"
"George's top lip is curved"
"He's perfect" they sighed with obvious hearts in their eyes . I looked at the girl the back at Hermione
"Did you guys take some sort of love potion"
"Us?"
"Never"
"I'm kinda worried how you noticed all of this"
"How can you not"
"Well ok"
"I say just be your self...Aine your an amazing person you too Ella just show them the real you...Now come on we have twins you girls need to talk too"
"Wait are we still doing the thing"
"What thing"
"The thing after dinner when the chicken have fallen asleep for the day do we meet in front of the iglesia"
"Huh"
"The chickens"
"What chickens"
"I'll see you guys over there" Hermione said looking at Ella weird then walked out the door
"Okay no what were you saying"
"Are we going to meet in front of the iglesia when the cluck clucks have fallen into slumber pats dawn"
"What Ella she's gone no code words"
"Boo your no fun...Are we still meeting in front of the Library when everyone has fallen asleep"
"That is not what you said...What the bloody hell are the chickens"
"Everyone"
"And why do you want to meet in front of a church"
"Huh"
"You said iglesia thats church in spanich"
"Ohhhh I meant to say library"
"You could say biblioteca"
"And why cluck clucks"
"Its the sounds chickens make"
"Oh my... Lets go c'mon and yes regardless we need to meet him" We walked out and back to the great hall.
"Black do you have it "
"Yeah yeah" I walked up and she gave me the coins
"Thank you" I put it in my pocket and took my place next to the twins.
"Next time don't make the bet so high"
"Next time don't be a shit face"
"OOOOOOO burn Black burn"
"Shut up Fred"
"So you know Karina"
"Yeah came on the train ride with her. Did she tell you about her big arse bag of snacks"
"Did you know she's our child"
"Me...why"
"Every older student needs to adopt a first year always"
"Its like the law"
"Of course it is...But why just me and not them"
"We have different plans for Ella and-"
"Aine"
"Not even your brother"
"No we don't want him"
"HEY"
"We already see you at home"
"Fine then I get Ella and Aine"
"Wait I still don't understand"
"So basically we adopt you take you under our wing and show you the way like a big brother or sister"
"Wouldn't me and Ella need a Slytherin and Aine a Huffelpuff"
"Not necessarily"
"Hey how many did you get"
"50"
"50!"
"Yeah...lets just say I know a thing or two on how to outsmart people when it comes to placing bets and amounts...learned from my mum she's super manipulative"
"What about your dad"
"He's never around. The last time I really ever saw him and spend a whole real day with him would be my 11th birthday that was back in August"
"And..."
"It's October and it's almost coming to an end too I mean Halloween is coming up"
"Speaking of which what are you guys dressing up as"
"In your uniform we have a game"
I looked up and saw a guy come up to the table
"Karina, Ella, Aine, Hermionie, Ron this is Oliver wood my boyfriend. Hes the Gryffindor keeper"
"Nice to meet you I'm Karina"
"She's ours you can't have her wood"
"Not to worry I got Harry and Ron"
"I got Aine and Ella"
"What about Hermoinie"
"Percy already kinda called dibs...said he wanted to teach her the right way"
"Who's that"
"He's our older brother"
"Kind of a buzz kill"
"KINDA?! He is"
"He is"
"Yeah"
"Wait how many siblings do you have"
"You see there's Bill"
"Charlie"
"Percy"
"Me"
"And me"
"Ron"
"And our baby sister Ginny"
"I feel bad for Ginny"
"HEY we are lovely"
"Don't lie you guys bully me like there no end"
"Because there isn't"
"Hey Karina lets make a deal if I get you a snack you give me 25"
"There no way your getting my gold de blooms"
"I thought you were starving"
"I had a cookie"
"It was a cracker"
"We're not doing this again Fred"
"Take them off the list they know the difference already" George reached into his backpack and took out a long paper
"Look right there Ella, Aine and Karina"
"Bloody hell to see the look on your faces"
"For what"
"Yeah like we'll tell you... so what you'll tell people what it is"
"I thought you were supposed to show me the way"
"She has a point"
"Later"
"You better"
"Karina you have the worst ahdn writing I have ever seen"
"No I don't you do"
"No you do"
"No you do"
"No you"
"No you"
"No you"
"Here why don't you do this you both write something and well be the judges"
"I'm gonna win"
"No I am"
"Well see"

"Where did you get lined paper from"
"Muggle studies we were put to use muggle supplies so apparently their paper has lines"
"For guidance"
"I think so"
"So who won"
"The results are.... Karina won"
"That's not fair they're your friends"
"Doesn't mean a thing"
"We need someone who doesn't favor you over me" He looked around then saw Blaise walking in.
"Hey Zabini come here and settle a score" His walked over to us his face showing just how confused he was about the situation.
"Who has better hand writing"
"Karina's"
"What why"
"It look's like yours says my ham is Draco Malfoy...did you name your ham Draco Malfoy"
"Ok ok she won"
"Fair and square"
"Isn't muggle studies an elective"
"Yea what about it"
"You choose your electives"
"I did not choose muggle studies if that's what your thinking"
"I'm not thinking it I'm saying it"
"Why do you have it then"
"I got a switch up my schedule should be fixed next week"
"Yeah mine too"
"Right... I think you secretly like muggles"
"Nope out of question I'll be going now"
He gave me back my notes and left the hall and what felt like forever ended rather quickly when we were carried away with the conversations among each other about the history of the castle and the ghosts and places to go. It was rather interesting. Slowly kids started to pile up into the hall sitting in their designated tables. But we sat still. The silent stares and the whispering not being able to take us out of some sort of trance where we felt safe, where we felt home. This was our group I knew it. Regardless of what the other Slytherins thought about us hanging out with the enemy or the Ravenclaws in their own world to care, To the Hufflepuff's thinking she was hanging around a bad influence, (I know Hufflepuff's wouldn't necessarily think this but for the sake of the story), or the Gryffindor's thinking they are hanging out with the evil. It didn't matter because this was our new family. Slowly we started to fall out of it. Me and Ella standing up first and making our way to our table.
"I don't think we should show up tonight"
"I was thinking the exact same thing"
"Because if something does happen"
"Between her and George"
"There will always be Diggory right there"
"Hey could potentially ruin it"
"She needs to be happy"
"Now for the million dollar question do we tell her"
"I think we should"
"What are you dressing as for Halloween"
"I have this kind of ritual where I dress as people who annoy me so ...Malfoy. You Karina?"
"HMMM a Queen"
"So yourself"
"Shut up Malfoy"
We finished our dinner and then walked up Aine
"Oh hey I thought we were going to meet in front of the library"
"About that"
"We decided we shouldn't do it what if something does happen between you and George...We don't want to ruin it"
"We will meet him when the times right"
"Are you guys going to bed already"
"PUH LEASE us bed"
"No we are going to go the Slytherin Common room and trash Draco's room and blame it on some first years"
"Guys"
"Yea"
"You are First years"
"Oh yeah we know" We walked out and walked the halls. I started to analyze everything and got an idea and ran to the closet wall in a hidden hallway
"HEY WAIT"
I reached deep into my pockets and pulled out a pocket knife.
"Do you have everything in pockets"
"Everything but food" I pulled up the blade and started to carve my name
Karina DeMarco
I gave Ella the knife and she smiled and carved her name
Ella Slytherin
She handed me back the knife and I closed it and put it back in my pocket.
"Now all we need is Aine to do hers and our history will be written on the walls. Next generations will walk the halls and wonder who in the bloody hell is Karina, Ella and Aine and all everyone is going to say is"
"They were great"
"Exactly"
We admired the new work that decorated the part of the wall and started touring journey to our house again.
"Hey Karina"
"Yeah"
"Why do you have a knife and lighter"
"I collect them. I have over 20 lighter and about 15 knifes. Also my dad always told me I have to be prepared for plan B"
"What's plan B"
"I dont know but well find out when the time comes"
We arrived shortly after and did in fact trash Dracos room and then went off to bed when we heard people starting to enter.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Wow okay 3741 words I usually strive to go just to 2000 don't want to make it that long. I understand I'm not that good of a writer and it could be confusing the who dialogue thing. I am trying to figure it out without it being a he said she said thing after every line, So I will figure something out. Sorry it took a whole week to write this but I was bombarded with work from school but I am going to try and make it quick. I am trying to finish philosopher stone with two more chapters and then move on. I understand that it's going to be a short amount of time but since it's like in my POV I dont really see much since it was mostly the trio. But yeah hope you liked it.
