Angelina Riddle: Chapter 5 - A New Cousin

Instructions

Angelina was rushing to her first potions class of the year, almost tripping over a step on one of the moving staircases. Potions was the only class she had none of her friends in. Daphne was in Herbology, Lena and Lexus were in Defence Against The Dark Arts, and Ella was at flying class. She had no one to talk to. Angelina walked into the dungeons, dreading the class that she would be alone in- or she thought. Her eyes scanned the room, looking for familiar faces. She recognized one of the students- Lilliana Smith. Most of the students were in their 3rd, 4th, or 5th years at Hogwarts. Last year, she was in a class with only 4th years. While Angelina was lost in her thoughts, a 3rd year girl who had chocolatey brown locks had gestured for her to sit. Angelina looked at the girl silently, asking her if she could sit next to her. The girl seemed to understand what Angelina was trying to say, and nodded. Professor Snape still wasn’t in the classroom yet, it seemed. The girl with the brown hair started talking to Angelina and introduced herself. “Hello, I'm Melody.” Angelina smiled. “I’m Angelina. Angelina Riddle.” As soon as Angelina introduced herself, Melody gasped. Angelina quickly regretted telling her her surname. Many people called her an evil freak because of it. “It’s okay if you don’t want me here-” Angelina started, but was cut off by Melody. “It’s okay. I’m a Riddle too.” Angelina’s eyes widened. Melody continued: “Lord Voldemort was my uncle.” Angelina looked Melody in the eyes, trying to consume everything she had just learned. She had a cousin. She wasn’t the only Riddle. As Angelina was lost in her thoughts, Snape had arrived. He started talking, as if he wasn’t late at all. “Today we will be making the love potion. But I must warn you, this potion is strictly forbidden on Hogwarts grounds, and I have been given permission from the headmistress to teach you this subject.” Snape continued talking: “Take out your potion making materials.” Snape then teached the entire class how to make love potions. At the end of the class, Angelina and Melody had become friends, and Snape had complimented Angelina on her potion. I tried a new writing style.... I tried to take @Eva_Snape 's advice....
