The Divinity of Duality - d.m.

Year 1 Part 2

I walked over to the Ravenclaw table utterly stunned. I sat down and looked over at the Slytherin table Draco looked at me mouth agape.

"Hello, I'm Cho Chang." a pretty girl with long dark hair and a fringe said.

"Hey, I'm Millie." I said still in a daze.

"You look surprised to be here?" She inquired.

"Well, I kind of am." I confessed. "You see my twin brother an all my friends have been sorted into Slytherin and I'm here. I don't know anyone. I guess I'm unsure as to what's going to happen." I sort of stammered.

"Don't worry Millie, I'll help you around. It's an honour to be in Ravenclaw, your in great company here. Wisdom, wit, creativity, truly the best people." 

I followed Cho to the west of the tower up a winding staircase to a door with no knob or keyhole just and eagle shaped knocker. "Intelligentia" Cho said and the door swung open. "Occasionally the eagle will ask you a question." Cho warned. we walked into the common decorated in blue and bronze. Cho sat down on the sofa in between two boys. "This is Michael and Anthony, and that over there engulfed in the book is Terry." 

"Well hello gorgeous." Michal said grinning. "What's your name?"

"Millie Zabini." I said proudly.

"You're very pretty." Anthony said exchanging a look with Michael.

"And therefore I have value?" I said sarcastically.

"I like you already." Michael laughed.

"Feisty aren't you?" Anthony said.

"Finally, someone to put these baboons in their place." Terry exclaimed looking up from his book. 

There were three beds in Cho and mines dorm the other bed belonged to a blonde, pale girl. Me and Cho talked and laughed for hours. We were already becoming fast friends. 

The next day my first class was transfiguration I walked in to find a seat open in between Daphne and Blaise. I went and sat with them. I hugged both of them and told them about Ravenclaw. The transfiguration professor was Mcgonagall she was strict but fair and that shone through when Potter and Weasley ran into class late. I said goodbye to Blaise and Daphne as I walked into the dungeons for potions. I spotted Draco at the front of the class and sat next to him. He looked surprised to see me but gave me a quick hug anyway.

"We are missing you in Slytherin Zabini." Draco said ignoring Crabbe and Goyle. 

"I miss you guys too but i must say I'm having a great time in Ravenclaw."

"That can't be possible I'm not there." Draco said smugly. I shook my head and gently elbowed him in the ribs.

"Then a man with long dark hair and and robes came smashing in mumbling rules to us. He looked at Draco when he mentioned only a select few would do well in this class. I rolled my eye's at this. His voice was dark and scary. He was Professor Snape. He began to pick on Potter but I stopped listening because i noticed who was sitting on the other side of me. The blonde girl from my dorm. She gave me a sleepy smile and looked back at Snape as he was hurling questions at Harry who looked bewildered, even though the girl with the crazy brown hair sitting next to him kept shooting her hand up. Draco smirked as Snape insulted Potter. 

At lunch I went to the Ravenclaw table and sat across from Terry and Cho who were deep in a debate about werewolves and animaguses. Anthony and Michael sat either side of me and started to ask me questions.

"So Millie, what kind of wizarding family do you come from?" Anthony asked.

"Well we're pureblood and know for being Slytherin. That's my twin brother over there." I say pointing at the Slytherin table.

"Ah, I suspected." Anthony replied

"And what do your parents do?" Michael asked

"My Mother is an auror and so was my father."

"Was?" Michael asked 

"Was and still is none of your business." I replied. Both the boys smirked and started to laugh at my savage comment. I looked around and spotted the blonde girl floating towards the table.

"Hey what's your name?" I asked.

"Luna Lovegood." she said with an extended hand, I shook it.

"Lovegood?" Cho chipped in, "Does your father own the Quibbler?"

"Yes he does!" Luna said proudly.

"Oh I love that magazine doesn't spout rubbish like the daily prophet." Cho said with a smile.

Luna and I walked to a grassy area just outside the grounds where a women with yellow eyes and short grey hair welcomed us to our first flying lesson. I loved to fly and was already pretty good so I stood next to Draco who I had flown with before. We did as the lady commanded and stood to the left of our brooms. 

"Now say up." she told us.

I said up and on the first go the broom flew into my hand same as Draco and Potter. Crabbe and Goyle struggled a bit. Whereas Weasley was hit square in the face with his broom. We all mounted our brooms when the last people finally got their brooms into their hand. The women gave us instructions to hover then come down once she blew her whistle once she blew it a chubby Gryffindor called Neville flew off the ground and out of control he broom threw him around and he eventually came crashing down down breaking his wrist. The women took him to the hospital wing and Draco began to smirk. 

"Did you see his face? Maybe if the fat lump had given this a squeeze he would have remembered to fall on his fat ass." Draco said holding Nevilles rememberall, everyone laugh at this.

"Malfoy don't be an ass." I said rolling my eyes. Draco scowled at me but didn't pass the ball over.

"Give it here Malfoy!" Harry said.

"No, I think I'll put it somewhere for Longbottom to find." Draco said throwing it up and catching it. He got on the broom stick and began to circle everyone before flying up. "What's the matter Potter? Bit beyond your reach?" Draco shouted down. Harry went to mount his broom but his friend with the mad hair warned him not too.

"Don't bother Potter he's not worth it." I chipped in. Harry gave me a slight smile but flew into the air nonetheless.

"What an idiot." The curly haired girl said. I laughed.

"Agreed." I replied "I'm Milly Zabini."

"Hermione Granger." The girl replied.

"Want to get out of here? my friend Luna seems to be bored." I said gesturing to Luna who was building a daisy chain.

"Oh no I can't get into any trouble." Hermione said. 

"Suit yourself. Come on Lovegood." I said helping Luna up and walking away from the stupid boys in the sky.

I walked into the common room with Luna and sat next to Anthony and Michael.

"What are you two doing out of class?" I asked.

"Snape's asked me to help him with a Poly juice potion, I may play the fool at times but I sharp as a nail I am." Anthony answered.

"And you Michael?"

"Mending a frame for one of the portraits, pretty artistic I am. What's the surprised look for Millie?"

"Sharper than you lot look that's all." I giggled.
