The Riddle: The Philosopher Stone ( Shifting Script/ Harry Potter Fan-fiction )

Chapter 5:

Sage: " What do you want Malfoy? Here to get a punch from me like last year?"

I looked at her in shock. She knew this blonde blue/gray eyed boy? Malfoy turned to her and had a strong hatred glare at her. He said

Dr-MALFOY: " Turner, you should shut your traphole right now. It would do you good. "

She tensed up, I could tell she was about to kick him hard in his arse. I widened my eyes. I wouldn't mind if she did that, but my usual self got off the bench and stared at Draco, he stared back at me wondering what was going on, thinking I was going to do the same thing as last night. I mouthed at him

Me: " Leave, Leave, Get out."

He could tell what I was saying and backed away from Sage. I held her arms and pulled her back as she tried to punch him. He was in shock backing away even more until I said,

Me: " Sage! Sage! Calm down! Just ignore him! Sage sit down and eat with me!"

She finally stopped but looked like she was going to run after them. The dark trio smiled. She flinched making it look like she was coming after them when they left the Great Hall. I let go of her and went back to the bench. We still had twenty minutes left. She went back to eating and we stayed in a awkward silence for about two minutes until I broke out,

Me: " You know Dra- Malfoy! Merlin why can't I remember to call him that!"

She looked at me in shock giggling a little.

Sage: " Hazel, where do you think I live?"

I looked at her dead serious

Me: " Well, your house of course."

She looked confused, finally understanding that I actually didn't know.

Sage: " Well, who do you think I share it with?"

I looked to the side

Me: " Um, your mother? Bellatrix Lestrange?"

She dropped her fork

Sage: " Hazel! I live in Malfoy Manor! With Malfoy!"

My eyes widened so big and I was in shock. How could I not know this?

Me: " What?! I didn't even know that! I saw Narcissa sometimes but I believed it was just because she liked to visit! I never saw Draco!"

She looked at me like I was crazy but then relaxed her face.

Sage: " Well Narcissa has lived there everyday since I was born, and MALFOY, is always in his room when you come over. He hates seeing everyone. He usually plays with Dobby the house elf."

She said 'Malfoy' to correct me. I looked around curiously. My lips were in a thin line. I mean, that did make more sense. I saw two owls come to where Sage and I were sitting. They had two pieces of paper. I took one and looked at it while Sage did the same. It was our schedule! I compared hers with mine. We had Charms, Herbology, D.A.D.A, and Potions together. I loved my schedule. We smiled at each other knowing we would be in half our classes together. Our first class was Herbology. We got up from the benches and walked together outside. We were twisted in each other's arms and went down to the tent that was outside. We met with a lot of other first year students. We saw one in particular that we knew. Toad kid. Or was his name Neval? We went up to him to greet ourselves. He was shaking and sweating, seeming very nervous of either us, or the whole thing. Sage just smiled and I said,

Me: " Hi! I am Hazel Riddle! You must be... Neval?"

He was just staring at me. And he was even more afraid of Sage. I smiled blinking a lot. I took my hand out for his hand so we could shake. He replied softly,

Neville: " It's...um... Neville..."

My smile went a little down as I started thinking about his name, Ah! Yes! Neville. Sage's smile was down as she started to get bored, looking around as she was fidgeting with her wand. Neville held out his hands in front of us, but leaning more forward to Sage.

Neville: " Please! I'm sorry I corrected you! Don't hurt me!"

We look worried, witches and wizards starting looking at us. Sage replied fastly

Sage: " We aren't going to hurt you Neville! Are you good?"

He slowly let down his hands staring at us again.

Neville: " So...you aren't going to hurt me?"

We both giggled but then stopped when he looked worried again and I replied,

Me: " No Neville, we aren't going to harm you. We just want to be your friends! You seem very sweet!"

He looked at Sage, waiting for her reply,

Sage: " Neville, are you scared of me? Us?"

He looked down, looking like he wanted to cry. My heart was hurt. Known as the niece of the darkest wizard of all, I wasn't surprised. I could tell Sage was also hurt as her eyebrows were curved and she had droopy eyes.

Neville: " I just, I just don't want to get hurt from you Sage as your mother... she did curse me mom and dad."

She looked up confused but not surprised. She then remembered as her mother cursed Neville's parents to be mentally delusional. She started crying softly, not making any noise. I comforted her by rubbing her back.

Neville: " And Hazel? Your uncle..."

I looked down, but looked up again to see Neville feeling guilty.

Me: " I understand Neville, it's ok. But we aren't what you think we are. We are much better than our relatives! If you still want to be our friend, that's an option!"

He smiled showing his teeth. He looked so pure.

Neville: " Sure! I've never had people call me a friend before! Unless it's me gran, she calls me her best friend."

He then thought and whispered to himself

Neville: " Why did you tell them that"

Repeating it multiple times. Sage wiped away her tears and giggled with me. Class was starting and we stood by Neville, smiling at him occasionally. We started to drag the bag of fertilizer, talking about what we loved about Hogwarts so far. We were re-potting the herbs and putting new fertilizer in it, and so was everyone else.
