Harry Potter and The Daughter of Sirius Black. [CedricxOc and DracoxOc]

Mudbloods, Murmurs.

Third Person's Point Of View.

It was the crack of dawn, when Oliver woke Arista from her sleep, well not him actually one of the girls sent in by him. And the fact that she did so without fear of losing an appendage was brilliant. But the fact that Arista wasn't even up yet, was because she spent more time hiding and avoiding Colin Creevey than spending time with her Hufflepuff friends and Cedric. Cedric was also a reason Arista hadn't killed the little first year yet.

Getting dressed and meeting up with Harry, Colin and the Twins they walked to the Quidditch pitch. Harry spent the whole ten minutes there explaining all the rules. Colin walked next to Harry and almost tripped because of him not paying attention to where he was going, he did it more than once, and almost stepped on Arista's tail. Arista had taken to her Animagus form to try and scare Colin into moving faster.

All it did was get her a pat on the beak from the first year, the Twins roared with laughter. Her head snapped in their direction now they were being chased, both afraid to be bitten and smacked by her. Because she was tall enough to snap at their heads and backs. Running they ducked every time she snapped her jaws. After five minutes they were tired and she had transformed back. At the Quidditch pitch, Arista went to stand next to Katie and Angelina.

They greeted her with tired hugs and then looked to Oliver and set their tired glares on him. Sitting on their brooms and hovering around four boards covered in practice drills everyone listened as Oliver droned on about new stuff for the upcoming season. So much so that the twins ended up using Arista as a pillow and ended up snoring. It was only moments when Arista fell asleep that,

Oliver was cut off from his speech by the arrival of the Slytherin team. Ridding to the ground he hopped off at a run and stopped Marcus Flint before he and his team could go any further. Waking slightly Arista glided over to Oliver, the clonk of skulls hitting reminded her that the twins had been using her as a pillow. And because she moved, they woke with a painful crack to the head having head-butted each other. She held in a snicker of laughter.

Still three-quarters asleep Arista stood by while everyone argued but when her cousin cussed at Hermione she had a few things to say, "Draco Malfoy, what did I tell you about insulting my friends?" He hunched a bit and was about to answer before he was cursed by Ron to eat slugs. But she already knew it would rebound. Arista sighed in at the nuance and just walked off, she knew with this the Slytherin team would have priority.

Snape's letter aside, training someone new would take precedence as there were security protocols that would override everything. Everyone watched her as she left, her team slowly realizing that they wouldn't be practicing today. But none of them brave enough to stop her.

It was late in the evening and Arista and Harry were stuck signing Lockhart's fan mail. Harry had done something to get a detention, Arista figured Lockhart wanted Harry signing things with him and realized if he couldn't get the boy to agree without incentive, a detention would have to suffice. While Arista was there because of what she did when the idiot released Cornish Pixies on the class. And would still be there for another two days after school. 

"Harry Potter and Arista Gryffindor, can you possibly imagine a better way to serve a detention, than by helping me answer my fan mail?" Arista without looking up from her work said, "I can..." Harry tried not to laugh as Lockhart stared at her, she could feel him staring but she didn't care. When she finally looked up she obviously avoided Lockhart's gaze and smiled warmly at Harry, while she handed him more things to add to the done pile. 

Harry and her looked at each other and smirked while Lockhart fumed a bit. "Fame is a fickle friend, you two. Celebrity is as celebrity does. Remember that." Lockhart said but Arista did the complete opposite, she forgot completely what he said and continued to waste her time with the junk mail. About to write another letter, Arista noticed Harry's frown of confusion. She gave him one of her own when he looked at her, 

"Do you hear that?" She blinked and looked between Harry and where he was looking, "hear what?" she asked, "The voice." he said as Lockhart looked at Arista but she was looking at Harry, worried he might have hit his head at practice or something. "Voice? What voice?" She asked reaching over to him and taking his hand, he looked about the room and jumped a little, "there it is again." Lockhart frowned. 

"I think we're getting a bit dowdy." He said jokingly, then his eyes passed over his clock, "and Great Scott! No wonder. Look at the time. We've been here nearly four hours. Spooky how time flies when ones having fun." Arista nodded nervously "yeah, spooky." Standing up, her and Harry left and started towards the dining hall, when Harry stopped again, bolting to the wall he pressed his ear against the wall and listened to whatever it was that Arista could not hear. 

"Arista I swear I'm not crazy, I can hear a voice, it sounds like it's in the walls." He said as he looked back at her. She didn't know what to do. So she took his word for it and made a mental note to go to the library on one of her free blocks. Suddenly speeding up, he jogged down the hall with his ear close to the wall and Arista on his heels. About to turn a corner, they almost ran into Hermione. "Harry." She said with a sigh of relief. 

But startled Arista with her sudden appearance. Causing her to squeak and jump a little. "Sorry Arista." Hermione apologized but Arista waved her off. "Did you hear it, the voice." Harry asked his friends, Ron went stiff with fright while Hermione panicked a little "Voice? What voice?" Looking around he didn't answer, "Apparently he heard a voice in Lockhart's office. And then again just now." When Arista finished her recap, 

Harry snapped to, and looked at the three of his friends. Arista noted a slight glow to Harry's eyes, giving his malachite green eyes a bit of a glow. She noticed that Hermione and Ron didn't seen to notice this and made another metal note about this for later research. "It's moving. I think it's going to kill." Without further answers, he took off the others right behind him but Dumbledore needed to know. 

Shifting into her Animagus form, she galloped through the halls sprinting for the headmaster's office. When she got there, she shifted back and said the password to get in. The pathway wasn't even fully open when she shoved through and tripped in landing on her stomach strong hands gripped her biceps and pulled her up, "Miss. Gryffindor, what is the matter?" the headmaster said worried by her sudden appearance.

Gasping for a breath she answered, "Harry...hearing voices...thinks it will...kill." She paused to get in more air, "he was on his way to the girl's bathroom on the main floor with the dining hall." Patting her head, he thanked her and they rushed to where she said they would probably be. On the way, Dumbledore called for all the teachers to meet him at the bathroom on the main floor. But by the time they got there,

Both Gryffindor house and Slytherin house were standing around staring at something. Looking at the wall from beside the headmaster she read it, 'the chamber of secrets has been opened. Enemies of the heir...beware.' It was written in blood, she could tell by the copper smell in the air and in the water. Filch stood near Harry about to strangle him, jumping forward Arista stepped in between them she was less than six inches from Filch and his anger,

But at least it put Harry further from him. "You murdered my cat..." He hissed out, Harry mumbled a weak 'no' but Filch shouted: "I'll kill ya!" But as Dumbledore realized after reading the note called to Filch, "Argus!" Stopping in mid-action, everyone looked at the headmaster. "Everyone will proceed to their dormitories immediately." Everyone started to move even Harry and the other two, 

Arista knew he would call on them so she stopped them halfway before headmaster could then kept going, as Arista had already told the headmaster everything she knew which was very little, she followed her house back to Gryffindor Tower.
