Underclass
(Laylani) The sun pours into the windows and courtyards of the campus as the students wake up to start the day. I wake slowly as I hear the other Slytherin girls moving about the room. I sit up in bed and rub my eyes, my hair is crazily strung about my face and head as I try and fail to smooth it down. "Well you look absolutely garbage," snickers Gaia Zabini as her and her friends walk into the dormitories. I poke my tongue at the girls and turns away. I gets up from my bed and change into my robes. The other Slytherin students head out to breakfast early but I stay behind and stare out the window into the Black Lake. The gentle lapping of the waves against the glass makes soothing sounds as I brushes gently through my shiny white hair. Soon my hair is groomed and I rush out the common room passage way.
Meanwhile:
(Rogue) I walk into the Great Hall for breakfast. As i do i hear other people around me say things like " Underclass!" and "Look what the cat dragged in". I ignore the comments and pull my hood over my face. I sit down near the back of the hall, alone and stare at the delicious food laid out neatly on the table, but i don't eat anything. " Look at Little Miss Underclass over here...," I here Potter say under his breath as he walks past with his many friends. I glare at him from under my hoodie for a few moments before turning away from him. I feel people staring at me...i can tell they are all talking about me, 'Yay,' i thought, 'I'm the most popular kid in school.'
(Laylani) I meet with my friends outside the hall and we all enter together. We start a conversation and laugh about it loudly. We walk over to James and some of his friends over at Gryffindor Table. I sit next to James and cuddle up to him. He seems stiff and uncomfortable. "Hey bae, you ok?" I ask as i grab some toast and bacon. "Mhhh, do you know that girl over there?" he asks pointing over at a girl with a hood far over her face. I stare at her trying to get a better look at her face," Wait! Isn't she that girl that hangs around with Hagrid all the time?" "Yeah...her....she is so underclass, she is pissing me off!" "James!" I shout as i whack my weekly copy of the Daily Prophet over his head. "Hey....Oww," he cries as he pats the back of his head. "Don't be so damn mean...do you even know her?" I ask skeptically." Well...," he stumbles on his words. "Exactly," I say getting up from the seat," I'll see you guys at class." I walk around the hall over to the girl, "Hi! I'm Laylani, Laylani Malfoy," I say as i outstretch my hand.
(Rogue) I look down at my hands and scooch away from the girls hand. I don't talk, i just wait for her to insult me, 'I mean she's Potters girl friend...she's got to be here to be mean...right?' I think as i continue to stay quiet. She looks confused and shakes her head. "Your Rogue aren't you...I don't want to hurt you or anything i just wanted to ask if you were ok, "She says to me smiling. I choose not to answer and continue to look beneath the table at my hands. She sits down next to me and opens her newspaper, "Well if you feel like talking I'm here," she says casting a look at me before starting to read the entertainment section. " Sorry...did i give you permission to sit next to me? No! No i didn't, I heard you and your good for nothing boyfriend talking about me! You have no right to sit near me!" I shout with a huff as i get up from the table and walk out of the hall.
(Laylani) I sit there shocked, 'I was only being nice, how dare she talk to me like that,' I think to myself as i get up from the table. I walk out of the hall and make my way back to the Slytherin common room. I walk up to the dormitory and grab my book bag from my bedside table. I notice a note on the inside of the dormitory door. ' Laylani, I'm sorry about James earlier today, he was rude and that was not nice. I think you were right to stand up to him and be nice to that girl. See you in class, Axewelp.' I read the note smiling to myself. 'Marcus is so nice,' i think to myself as i put the note in my bag. I leave the common room and walk to class. The Potions classroom is dark and damp. A sticky, black substance drips from the ceiling onto my cheek. "Ewwww!!"I scream as i flick it off. "Are you ok Lani," James asks tilting my head up so he can see my face. He wipes a smudge off my face and stares deep into my eyes. "Uhh... Lani...about earlier...I wanted to say I'm sorry...I was being really rude," he says frowning, clearly struggling to get the words out. "Its ok, just don't call her names again...ok," I reply sternly. He smiles, relieved and nods his head. Just at that moment Professor Slughorn enters the classroom. "Good morning class! Today we will be creating a small batch of Amortentia in pairs. Please get your books out and sit in this seating arrangement, "He says to the class, writing names on the front board. I see my name on the board and walk over to table 3. I don't realize at first but I'm paired with Rogue, the girl from breakfast.
(Rogue) I look up from my hood and notice the shoes of the person sitting next to me. They are neat and look expensive. I look at mine, they are muddy and old. I look up at the girls neatly pressed robes, mine are scruffy and have dirt smeared on them. I look at her face, its the girl from breakfast, Potter's frie...girlfriend. She is deeply interested in the lesson as she takes notes carefully not missing any details. 'Why am i staring at her this is so weird...,' I think as i tune back into the lesson. "Excuse me, could you be quiet please, I'm trying to listen to Professor Slughorn," she asks politely, not even turning to look at me.
I look at her confused, "Ummm, I didn't say anything," I mutter rather rudely. She turns to look at me. "Oh...sorry...," she replies looking embarrassed. We don't talk the entire lesson. Laylani passed notes to Marcus and James for a bit before class finished. I didn't get a good look at them but I'm pretty sure some of them were about me. Riiiing! Riiiing! The bell sounds and all the students rise from their seats. "Remember class, read chapters 5 and 6 in your books as we will be starting on Draught of Living Death in the coming weeks," Professor Slughorn shouts as he collects his things and dismisses the students. I walk out of class and Lyra Chang shoves me to the side. I wince as the full pain disperses around my arm.
She grabs me and pierces my skin with her nails. " Stay out of our way Underclass!" she threatens, snickering to her friends as they push past me and walk away. "Are you ok?" A girl asks me. I ignore her and turn to walk away. "Hey...I'm Tiallan! Nice to meet you," she continues. I still say nothing. "Those girls are stupid and everything they say is mean, don't pay any attention to them!" she tells me as she catches up to me. "No shit sherlock," I say before I can stop myself. "Haha, your funny, what house are you in?" "I'm in Ravenclaw what about you?" I ask the girl almost finding interest in the conversation. "Gryffindor," she says. We walk in silence for a few moments. Just before we part ways to head off to our separate common rooms she asks "So..., do you want to be friends?"
I stare at her for a moment before looking down at my feet. "I don't really do 'friends'," I reply to her to shy to look at her. "Well i haven't got many here either so...," she states putting her hand forward. I look at it carefully not moving, "Friends?" "Friends!" I agree quickly shaking her hand, nodding and walking briskly away to my common room.
