Chapter 4 - Dementor's kiss - Amaya Potter

Instructions

there's drama in this chapter! -----------------------------------------------------------------I decided to ignore Will as I realised that worrying would only make me unhappier and I wouldn't enjoy my time at Hogwarts. As I was walking through the corridors to the library, I saw Emily in the corner. She was looking at me and shaking. "Hi!" I said, "I'm Amaya. Are you ok?" I went forwards towards her but as I did that she screamed, "Get away from me!" I backed away shocked and confused. ********* One morning, after that, I was walking with Azara to divination. As we opened the door, we saw that Professor Trelawney wasn't there. I checked my watch as I sat down next to Azara. We were a few minutes early so maybe Professor Trelawney was just finishing breakfast, or predicting someone's d3ath somewhere else. But as soon as it turned 10:00, another teacher walked in. She had dark skin, and long black hair. She didn't have any colourful bangles or big glasses like Professor Trelawny; she was dressed in plain, black robes and did not have any jewelry except two gold, tiny studs on her ear. "Hello class." she said in a clear voice, "I am Professor Warner. Professor Trelawney cannot be here because she is doing something outside the school. I will be teaching you divination until futher notice." I glanced at Will. He was looking excited. I knew he loved divination. "Let us begin." she said, "We are aiming to learn a spell to see clearly into the future. But this spell is tricky. First, we must master the skill of looking into the past. "There is a spell: Videla praeteritumal. First try it without your wands. Say it." "Videla Praeteritumal!" chorused the class. "Good. Videla Praeteritumal!" said Warner making a sharp. jabbing movement with her wand. Soon a picture of Dumbledore taking a bite out of a pastry showed up in the air. "That was at breakfast," Warner said, "To cast the spell, you must imagine the point in time that you want. We will be trying it in a minute. But first, I would like to change your seats for maximum concentration." She glared at Lavender and Parvati who were giggling and whispering in each other's ears. They both went red and fell silent when they saw Warner glaring at them. "Ok." she said when there was silence, "Let's see. Skylar Slytherin and Draco Malfoy." She said. Skye and Draco looked at each other and smiled. "Xavier Malfoy and Roselette Black." "Amaya Riddle," she winced slightly at the name 'Riddle' as I went very red, "and Will Malfoy." I went red as Will glared. Nooooo. I thought. But Skye smiled and mouthed 'patch things up'. I mouthed back 'no shut up' but she just nodded encouragingly. As I trudged over to stand next to Will, Warner said, "Start practicing." He glared at me. "Seriously! What's going on? What did I do?" "What did you do?" said Will, "This. Videla Praeteritumal!" A picture came up. Of a girl with pink hair laughing as she crucioed Emily. Emily screaming and crying. Wait.. What the pink haired girl.. me? I looked closer and it was! What? Tears spilled in my eyes. I would never do that! I didn't get it. That wasn't me! But the spell showed things that happened in the past. "I saw you doing this." said Will. In the picture, he came running and stupefied me, taking Emily back, "Diagon Alley, 23rd August, 5:30pm." "But I didn't!" I said tears spilling hard and fast, "You really think I would do this?" That was appauling. I would never. Ever. do something like this." "You. Did. " said Will, "Of course you did! The proof is here, and you're a Riddle!" he spat. "I never asked to be a Riddle!" I yelled sobbing and ran out of the classroom as the bell rang. "Stop!" Azara, Skye, Rosie, Veronika and Aurelia were running after me. I took a turn into my dorm and threw myself on the bed crying. They finally caught up, catching their breath and panting. "Maya-" "Of course you believe them, don't you? I did it! After all, the proof is there. And even more, I'm a Riddle! I must have done it then!" I snapped sarcastically. "Maya stop." said Skye, "Of course we believe you. You're the last person to be a bully!" "I'm really sorry." I said, "I'm the worst friend ever! I'm taking it out on you guys now, even though you haven't done anything!" "You're not. Far from it!" said Azara, "Remember when we were in our first year? Draco was bullying someone. You couldn't stand it, so you stuck up for the girl, even though you didn't know her! Do you think that is the behaviour of a bully? And after, when Draco tried to levicorpus me, you went in front. Do you think 'the worst friend ever' would do that?" "We believe you." Said Rosie, "There must be some misunderstanding with this." "We'll always be there for you." said Vera, "We'll try and find out the problem." Aurelia smiled, "Everything will be okay!" "Thanks guys!" I said sobbing harder and hugging them. ********* continues in notes & credits
