Chapter 4 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The next morning Eva woke with a start and sat up in bed to see Milli rummaging through her suitcase again wearing here school robes, with her shoes on the wrong feet. Eva hopped out of bed and stretched her arms lifting Whiskers onto her chest. She quickly got into her robes and grabbed her wand off her bedside table, picking Whiskers and putting him safely in to her pocket. Milli finally found what she was looking for and put her shoes on the right feet. Eva noticed that they where the last girls left in the dorms and relisted the others must already be at breakfast. Eva and Milli hurried into the common room and through the rest of the castle bumping into Peeves on the way who was trying to push over a pedestal, thankfully though he did not notice the two girls as the rushed down the corridor and finally making their way into the great hall and sitting down at the Slytherin table with panting slightly. "What took you so long?" asked Isla who was sitting next to them. "Slept in" said Eva and Milli in unison still catching their breath. "You missed Professor Dumbledore's speech but Professor McGonagall is just about to hand out the time tables for the term." said Isla hurriedly. Eva looked up as Professor McGonagall Placed a timetable in front of her, she looked over at Milli's timetable. "Oh look we both have charms class first with the Gryffindors" said Eva with a smile at Milli. "I have potions first with the Ravenclaws." said Isla with a groan. "Attention students!" boomed Dumbledore's voice across the hall, "Can you please progress to your classes, first years are to follow their teachers to their classrooms" boomed Dumbledore. The was a scraping of chairs as everyone got out of their seats and started making their way to the hall doors all chatting to their friends. Eva and Milli parted ways with Isla and made their way over to the very small Professor Flitwick who was sweating profusely has he tried to heard his students into a line. Eva found herself standing next to Theodore and smiled at him, he looked up at her "Oh it's you from the train" he said huffley, apparently still not forgiving her for being Draco's sister. "If you think I am anything like my brother I am not she!" she said forcefully all traces of a smile gone from her face. "I may look like him but I am not cruel and I do not harass people like he does" she said angrily at Theodore. Theodore looked surprised at her sudden outburst and didn't quite know what to say. Just then the line started moving and the group of first years made their way out of the school hall and through the castle to the charms classroom. Eva didn't speak to Theodore at all as they walked though she could see him occasionally staring at her with a curious look on his face. After a couple of minutes the arrived at the classroom and Professor Flitwick opened the doors and the class filed in. Eva looked around in awe at the cavernous space before with the desks layed out to one side and cushions on the other. Professor trotted up to the front of the class and stood on some books so he could be seen over his desk. "Today we will be learning the disarming charm" said Professor Flitwick in his squeaky voice. "Please get into pairs one person from each house" he said. The class organized themselves into pairs of Gryffindors and Slytherins Milli went with the boy Theodore had been sitting with the day before, Harry Parkinson and she ended up with Theodore again. The class turned to their pairs and exclaimed "EXPELLIARMUS!" at the, Eva found that her wand had gone flying out of her hand and she stumbled backwards and fell to the floor. "Well done Granger" said Flitwick behind Theodore, "I see you are like your sister" he said with a smile and continued to look around the rest of the class correcting wand movements and pronunciations. Theodore offered out his hand to help her up but she ignored it and picked herself up with a determined look on her face. The faced each other again and this time Eva managed to disarm Theodore. Eva looked around at Milli and saw her laughing with Harry has his wand flew out of his hand. Eva turned back to Theodore and noticed that something had changed in the way he looked at her instead of a look of anger it was more of a friendly look, and Eva suddenly felt bad for snapping at him earlier. "Hey maybe we sort of got off on a wrong start." she said as they once again pointed their wands at each other. Theodore looked a bit sheepish, "Yeah.." he mumbled. Eva fired her spell and it caught him by surprise topilling him to the ground Eva walked over and helped him to his feet. "Instead of hating each other because of what my stupid brother said to your sister why don't we be friends?" she said with a smile. "Yeh that might be so bad" said Theodore smiling back. "Call me Theo by the way it sounds more mutual." Eva laughed at her new friend and smiled.
