Of Love, Annoyance & Deatheaters. Chap. 4

I followed him down the passage way of the train, trying to keep up with him through the crowd of people all wearing black robes now. They were calling for the new First Year students to come away from the rest. I was having a bit of a dilemma then, I wanted to follow the boy but I needed to join the others. Somehow I got turned around the the crowd then and suddenly found myself standing back in front of the train.
I could feel my eye twitch slightly as I gave up, making my way to where the rest of the First Years had gathered.

I pouted the entire way to the castle.

As we were all crowded into a small room my excitement began building up again. It had only barely started even as we had entered the school, my mind had been on the boy from the train too much.
By the time we were to go into the Great Hall I was bouncing from one foot to another doing my best to contain my excitement. An older lady had informed us that once in the Great Hall we were to lined up to the side and wait for our names to be called.

It took forever.

I kept scanning the room for any sign of the boy, but never could find him. Though I did spot Sirius sitting with two other boys. I wrinkled my nose at them even though I knew that wouldn't be able to see it.
Names were being called in slow succession and an awkward child would toddle out of the line to sit on a rickety stool, a ratty old hat plopped on their heads.
Soon there were only 5 of us left in the line.

"Wormwood, Pandora." a scratchy yet feminine voice called.

I held my head high as I marched to the stool, determined not to look like an insecure kid though my insides were doing flips. The woman sat the Hat on my head and I could here it thinking.

"Strange....you are silly and carefree. Hufflepuff would be an obvious choice! Yet...."

I blinked. "What the hell's a Hufflepuff?" I murmured under my breathe.

"Yet..." the Hat continued on as if I hadn't interrupted. "I sense something quite wrong here. You are brave, child, I can tell that. But darkness lurks within you...."

I held my breathe, praying to every god I could think of this stupid Hat wouldn't put me in Hufflepuff. I couldn't stand having to say that. Maybe it'd put me in with Sirius. He seemed like an ass, but he was cute.

"SLYTHERIN!"

I was startled as the Hat shouted at the words. A cheer went up from a table decorated in green and silver. I smirked my best smirk as I walked down to the table.
Looking for a place to sit I noticed that only one person hadn't joined in with the cheering.

I seated myself next to the black haired boy from the train.

Of Love, Annoyance & Deatheaters. Chap. 3

Sirius left not long after our small chat. It seemed he couldn't decided if he was amused by my rat-cats new found name or slightly offended.
The excitement had died down a bit now and boredom was beginning to set in. I hadn't brought anything to read so I sat like a lump scratching behind Facetious' ears and wondering if the boy next to be was even alive.
He would move a fraction of an inch now and then. It seemed almost like he was shivering. Which was odd, not even Facetious was cold and he was hairless after all. I watched the boy, having nothing better to do. He never once lifted his head, giving no attention to the fact I was staring at him.
I began talking randomly to myself, partly to him, in hopes maybe he would say something if I began to annoy him. I went on for a good 30 minutes without so much a twitch of his fingers.
I finally gave up and started poking him in the arm.
He jerked slightly at it but still made no move to lift his head. I poked him again and then again. After a moment he grabbed my finger and wouldn't let go.

"Bloody hell! Let go! I can't feel my fingers anymore!" I screeched at him as I tried to pull my hand from his grasp.

He raised his head at me, "That's what my brain feels like at the moment. So if you could be so kind as to shut up...I'd be most thankful."

He stopped trying to wiggle my hand to dig my fingernails in his palm and stared at him. I seemed to do that a lot today, stare at people. Unlike Sirius though, I didn't stare at this boy out of pre-teen hormones. He was completely different, pale skinned and sickly in appearance. I almost apologized for no reason. He had a rather odd nose, hooked, as Da had said sometimes when he was making fun of a man on the tellie.

I tried to smile but it came out as a smirk. "I'm not shutting up so you might as well get used to it."
I tried to turn my nose in the air which brought me mental images of him doing the same. This caused me to imagine him drowning because it was raining as he did and I collapsed side ways onto him in a fit of giggles.
He shoved me off of himself quickly, causing me to fall into the floor of the compartment.
"Nice way to treat a lady." I glared up at him from where I was in a heap. Facetious hissed, adding more amusement for me and I began laughing again.
The poor boy looked as if he was going to kill me, so much annoyance was plastered across his face. I managed to compose myself after a moment and climb back into the seat. Facetious promptly crawled back into my lap.

"So whats your name then?" I raised my eyebrows waiting for his reply.

His lip curled slightly, "Why should I even answer that?"

"Because we might end up in the same house."

"I've already been sorted and you're not likely to end up there!" he was glowering at me now.

I cringed slightly, "Ya never know...."

With perfect timing, an older girl tapped on the glass door before sliding it open to inform us we were only five minutes from the school.
I hurried to grab my robe out of the small shoulder bag I'd brought with me.

"I guess well find out before long." I managed a sadistic smile at him.
