New Chapter and it's Tuesday so I win...not that it was a race or anything. Chapter 6
Ending from the Nightmare
"Okay so explain to me as to why you two were out wandering the corridors so late at night," He said as he poured three cups of tea.
"Well you see-" I started the same time Chris said, "I was walking-" We both stopped and stared at each other
"How about the person who was crying goes first." He smiled and handed me a cup of tea.
"Well I has gotten into a fight with a girl in my house and a Professor pulled me out and lectured me. She then said that she hated to punish someone from her own house but I wasn't aloud to be mad at this girl for certain reasons. She then dismissed me from the classroom and I didn't want to go back to the nightmare at the dorm room so I went for a walk."
"What house are you in?"
I looked down and frowned, "Slytherin."
"Ah, Professor Vickie can be cruel even to her own house." He smiled and placed sugar down on the table and some milk. I put a little of each in my cup and smiled up at him. "Thank you."
"Now your turn lad," he said handing Chris a cup of tea.
"Well," Chris began. "I was just walking and I saw Jamie here crying and I went to see what was wrong. tgurns out she ahd gotten into a fight with Alyson James and Professor Vickie took Alysons side and punished Jamie so i offered her a hug." He blushed and then added his own sugar and millk.
"Oh even better. Look things always calm down. Right now your just settling in." He looked at me and smiled. "Once you get to know Alyson you two will become best friends. I see it all the time."
I couldn't hold the cup steady so I set it down on the table and looked up at him,"unnm Professor-"
"Riley."
"Professor Riley. She is rude and she keeps mistreating me I was settling in just fine until she kicked me out of the bed I laid on and said she didn't want to catch a cold near the window. How is that fair?" I felt my eyes start to sting again and felt embaressed. Crying in front of a Professor.
"It's not and I'll talk to Professor Vickie and see what I can do to fix it. Now you two finish your tea and be on your way." He had jsut started his cup himself and smiled. "I won't take any points this time, but next time I won't be so kind."
Chris and I looked at each other and said at the same time, " Thank you Professor."
After we finished our tea we left and gave each other one more hug. I made my way back to the dungeouns and him to where ever the common room for Gryffindors was. When I got back to the girls dorm I took the bed by the window andrealized that Alyson was more than just mean she was pretty stupid as well. The window was painted on and not real. Probably put there by a past student. I mean really we were under the lake. How get a draft get in and make her sick? I fell asleep fast after that and the next morning when I woke up I was running late for my first class, Ironically enough it was with Professor Riley.
I walked into class, the door was wide open, and sat in the back. He spotted me nodded and then continued teaching. Alyson hadn't missed a beat though and glared in my direction. I looked down at the piece of parchment and began to take notes. Charms didn't seem so bad. Ten minuets of notes and we were already practicing the spell. Lumous. It lit up the tip of the wand. I got it right on the third try and smiled as Professor Riley gave me five points for it. Needless to say they were just pointless points. A lot of the other students had gotten it right the first try.
I then went off to potions where yet again I had a class with Alyson but this time Chris was there. I smiled as I sat next to him and he smiled at me.
"So how did you sleep last night?"
I shrugged, "I must have slept really well becasue I over slept last night. How did you sleep?"
"Good. Really good." He smiled at me then looked at Alyson. "Did she say
anything to you when you got back?"
"No she was passed out but she's not the brightest in the bunch. The window
she didn't want to sleep near was painted on." I laughed as I shook my head.
Then silence beafell the class and there stood Professor Vickie.
"This," she began, "is a no nonsense class. If you don't take it seriously you can stand and walk out the door." She just stared waiting. No one moved. "Lets begin."
In that class we made a basic Sleep Draught. Chris and I walked out together and I patted the top of my head. "My hair is all frizzy. Does it look bad?"
He looked me in the eye and said, "You look great."
I never had a compliment from anyone but my parents. We had the next two classes together and then we went to eat lunch. I sat next to Jacob and he asked me what happened.
"So I heard my sister gave you trouble."
"Trouble. Really? It was an absurd stupid thing. She isn't really the brightest person in the school. She didn't want to sleep next to the window but the window was painted on so it didn't matter anyway but she pushed me off the bed and she keeps talking about herself like she's a princess. Which I might not know much but I'm pretty sure she's not."
He laughed at me and we ate in peace for Alyson was no where to be found. At the end of the day after the rest of my classes and dinner I went back to the common room and sat in the chair bu the fire. It was so peaceful and nice. A great ending from the nightmare. I made my way two hours later to bed and just as I got under the covers there was something sticky and I pulled back the sheet my legs covered in goo. I looked at Alyson and saw her smirking at me. Yep, the perfect ending from the nightmare.
