The New Library Friend
Chapter 4
Slythia had just finished her homework for Potions, and decided to go to the library. She dragged herself up the stairs, half asleep, and wound up in the library. She sat on a chair in between a couple shelves, the whole time, trying to read her book on Patronuses. Sadly, that wasn’t going to happen. She was busy watching a show going on a few shelves over, peering through the spaces of a book shelf.
A first year Hufflepuff was scurrying over with her nose in a text book, when suddenly, she tripped over a Ravenclaw’s chair. The Hufflepuff fell almost face first, yet the first thing she did was crawl over the Ravenclaw.
“I’m so sorry! Did I hurt you?” The Hufflepuff shouted, getting a couple harsh shushes from the other students in the library.
Slythia smiled.
“Puff’s are so nice.” she said to herself.”Too bad I only have Kate.” Suddenly her face brightened “I could build an empire of Puffs!” Then, Slythia scolded herself.
“Come on Thia, I know that’s not what you meant, but people will think that's what you mean.” She said rolling her eyes, and turning back to her book.
“Gosh be more careful Rain.” Said a new voice.
Slythia looked up to see a Slytherin girl helping up the Hufflepuff.
“Shut up Nikki” Rain, the Hufflepuff said.
Then Rain whispered something to Nikki, the Slytherin, and pointed at Slythia.
“NOW GO SOCIALIZE” Rain said, pushing Nikki over to Slythia. Immediately, she spoke.
“Hello person my dumb Hufflepuff sister is making me talk to you. What's your name?”
Slythia grinned. If it was her sister that pushed her to someone random, Slythia would of just awkwardly stared. Not this girl.
“I’m Slythia what’s yours?” she asked, surprised at her own confidence.
Slythia looked passed Nikki to see the other two talking.
Nikki glared. “Well I mean, you should already know that, because you were eavesdropping.”
“Yeah, sorry about that Nikki.”she said slowly.
They stood there for a moment.
“So, uh Slythia, do you have any pets?” Nikki asked, breaking the silence.
“Well I used to have a snake, and a couple cats, but my mother killed them when I..” Slythia stopped, and shook her head.
“Do you have any pets Nikki?”
“Oh um well, wait SHE KILLED YOUR CATS?” Nikki screamed, her eyes tearing up a bit.
“Sorry,” she continued. “I just love cats I have a fluffy white Persian cat named Marshmallow and a very dark brown, almost black cat named Beans”
Slythia smiled.
“They seem adorable.” “I used to have a Ginger munchkin cat named Alexa,she was my favorite..” Thia said, looking down.
The two began talking, but Nikki wanted to know more about Slythia. Like the time Thia’s hair turned colors, her mother had locked her out of the house in the dead of winter!
“What kinda family do you have?” Nikki said, shoving Marshmallow in Thia’s face.
“Well,” Thia started, petting the cat. “Black’s and Lestranges don’t make up a loving family that's for sure,”
“OH you’re a Lestrange?” Nikki asked
“Yeah, why do you ask?”
“Oh, just wondering. Don’t worry, you’re still cool, it's just a bit surprising”
Slythia looked off into the distance.
“A lot of people are surprised.”
Slythia continued staring for like ten minutes, until Nikki put Beans on her face.
“Oh, sorry Nikki did you say something? OH HEY LOOK NEW CAT!” Slythia said, petting the new cat.
“Can you produce a Patronus?” Slythia asked Nikki.
“It’s pretty weak.” She sighed.
“Oh, mine is an Arctic Fox, full figure too!” Slythia said, happy.
“I once tried, and it looked like a demented cat.” Nikki stated, with a bit of a laugh.
Slythia’s eyes glowed, and flipping a couple pages in her book, she found out what a cat Patronus means.
“ HERE " a balance of strength in both physical and spiritual, psychic and sensual powers"
That’s cool Nikki!”
“Nice!”
“I'm trying to look for Arctic fox”
“Flip to page 113”
“Okay…” Slythia flipped to page 113.
“HERE IT IS!” She shouted, getting harsh shushes.
They both read it, and agreed completely.Slythia looked at the time, and realized she had to go.
“Bye!” And then ran off to the Quidditch field.
There, she met up with Kate, Hannah, and Alice.
“Well it seems you three are getting along well.” Slythia started, and then pulled Charlotte out of nowhere.
“Time to add another person okay?”
Kate and Charlotte got along well, for Charlotte was raised by muggleborns, so she knew of the Muggle world.
