Last night I had a dream. (Wow, big surprise there... rolleyes ) In the dream, I was at a new school and I didn't know anybody.(By the way, the new school is a boarding school.) There was a place to play karaoke and my friend and I decided to sing some songs. The bell rang so I went to my class. (Turns out that my friend was just there to ask me to skip school with her.) The classroom was huge! The teacher called our names and assigned us to our seats. I was mortified at how she pronounced my name all funny. No one recognized what she had said so she spelled it out. By now my face was turning red as I knew it was my name. I went over and told how to pronounce my name. Then she shouted it correctly and assigned my to one of the seats in the very back. Some kids had come early and had already taken there seats. I was sitting behind two such people. They wee chatting with each other and didn't notice the scene that had just played out. Everyone else was either giggling or pointing or whispering with weird looks at me. Thankfully the class had started. The teacher had one person (one of the early people) stand up, face us and he was about to talk. I sat up (before I had been slouching)and almost shouted,"It's Harry Potter!" But I was wrong, it was Daniel Radcliffe! The teacher left to go to the teachers' lounge.( I don't know why.)
I noticed that almost everyone in the class was wearing Slytherin robes. The only people who weren't were: Daniel Radcliffe, the two boys in front of me (who were redheads), another boy (who looked like a twin of the boy in front of me) and, me. I was wearing my Dumbledore's Army shirt that my friend had gotten me for my birthday. The boys and Daniel were wearing Gryffindor robes that they took off while standing up or sweaters that looked like their mom's had made.
People were looking at Daniel and whispering. One had said : He's Harry Potter; a little loud so I corrected him by saying,"No he's not." The Slytherin came over and said,"Oh? Then who is he?" I smiled at Daniel who was walking towards us and said,"He's just someone who looks like Harry!" I winked at Daniel while the Slytherin went back to his seat. The two boys turned and looked at me and said,"Who are we?" The other redhead came over. "Yeah," he said,"Who are we?" I tried to make myself look like I had no clue they were then whispered," You're Rupert Grint and you two are James and Oliver Phelps a.k.a. Ron, Fred and George Weasley." They stared at me in disbelief. "Don't worry,"I added,"Your secrets safe with me," I smiled," I'm new here and school's already off to a bad start with the teacher pronouncing my name like that." I rolled my eyes at the thought of her. "Obviously she doesn't know her Greek mythology,"Daniel said,"does she?" "Interesting. The first person who knows my name is Greek looks like Harry Potter." He smiles at me. The teacher then came back and we had to start paying attention again. After a while the bell rang and we all went to our different classes. This time I was the only student that wasn't wearing a Slytherin robe. Great I'm surrounded by people who hate Dumbledore's army and I'm wearing one of those shirts. I thought. They are going to beat me up! I gritted my teeth and made myself pay attention to the teacher.
Before lunch (which was right after that class) some of the Slytherins took me away and beat me up for not supporting Slytherin. I went to lunch beat up and sat by myself. I started to eat. "What happened to you?" I looked up to see Rupert staring at me in disbelief. "Stupid Slytherins were mad because I'm not wearing one of their robes. So they beat me up." "And you're okay with that?"Daniel asked. "It's better than seeing all of you guys beat up. That would mean, well a lot more to me because you guys just as yourself represent a hope thar some will be smart enough to shed those robes. Seeing you guys beat up would mean that there's practically no chance of anything changing." I go back to eating. "Wow," James or Oliver said," That's deep." I shrug it off. "Eh, it's nothing," I smile," So where are you guys going to sit?" "Well we were hope we could sit with you..."Daniel said, his voice trailing off. "Sure. It's kind of an honor. Not about you guys being really famous,"I add hastily," Well actually it is. I want to become an actress but i don't think anyone's going to be interested in me after this. If I actually survive this." I mutter.
"Please, when they see you hanging out with us they will either leave you alone or mess with you more," Oliver and James say at the same time. "Oh that's very reassuring." I roll my eyes then laugh." Oh I haven't introduced myself! I'm Calliope." I shake hands with all of them. "So what are you guys doing here?'
"Well," Rupert says thinking hard," We're not really sure why we're here." I stare at him confused. "How could you- oh never mind." All of us become friends and we hang out together from that day forth.
It would have continued but some machine outside woke me up.
The End
