Chapter 15: Hated
Going down for dinner was hard that day as I could see Remus looking at me from his seat at the teachers table. It probably wasn't a good idea to keep looking at him but I couldn't help it. I could suddenly answer almost all of the questions that I had been asking myself. It didn't seem right that someone as innocent as Remus had to suffer that much. He didn't even do anything. I couldn't imagine how much he would hate his father. Actually I could seeing as though I hated my own too.
Once dinner had finished I ran to the common room and arrived way before anybody else got there. I started to plan what I would say to Harry, Ron and Hermione, I needed to appologise for what had happened earlier. I hadn't sat with them at dinner as I thought they would be angry with me so I sat on my own. I could see Dean and Seamus shooting me dirty looks . I felt like I everybody knew about what had happened. Hopefully they didn't but I couldn't be sure.
I paced around the common room agitatedly. Why were they taking so long? Maybe they were talking about me, saying horrible things and saying how they had hated me from the start. No, I have to be calm and stay focused. Ok just breathe. The portrait to the common room swung open and in stepped Harry, followed by Ron and Hermione. The second they saw me they rushed at me. At first I thought they were going to hit me but instead I was attacted with hugs.
"Oof" we fell to the floor and got tangled up together. I sighed, its going to take ages to get out of this mess. I started laughing despite everything I had found out. Soon enough the others joined in too and everything was perfect. Until, of course, Dean and Seamus walked in. They took one look at me and said in the loudest whisper in the history of whispers:
"She's so stupid, she'll probably turn out just like her father."
"Yeah, an arrogant, bigheaded murderer." They both laughed but I just rolled my eyes. I was used to insults, I'd been getting worse my whole life. Some petty comments from some thick-headed school kids weren't going to offend me. Ron didn't know that obviously as he was starting at me wide eyed as though I was going to explode (again).
I smiled to let them know I was ok and started to untangle myself. As I was pulling my leg out by the end of my jeans my hand lost its grip and I punched myself in the face. I paused, dazed for a minute then Harry bust out laughing, followed by Ron then Hermione. I faked a glare for a few seconds then I started to laugh as well. It was brilliant.
Breakfast the next morning was extremely awkward: horrible looks from Dean and Seamus, whispers from Malfoy and his 'gang', the urge to look at Remus and the sympathetic looks from McGonagall. We had defence against the dark arts next, but Remus looked horrible and half way through the breakfast he left the room silently. I frowned, why would he leave?
"Hey Hermione, when's the next full moon?" She looked confused but told me anyway.
"Tonight, why?"
"No reason" I nodded, it made sense and I was getting the urge to transform into a wolf. It was painful but I knew I wouldn't be able to miss lessons. If I was off every full moon people would start to get suspicious, even though I wasn't a real werewolf I doubt people would accept me (especially with my fire power).
Only Snape, Dumbledore and Remus knew about that. Oh and Malfoy and his gang, but that was an accident. Kind of. Well so long as he didn't say anything too anyone, I'm fine. Or not. On the way out of the main hall to go to DADA Malfoy and his gang cornered me.

"Move, Malfoy!" My hair set alight. It was a good job that nobody was around, they would probably faint or run away.
"Aguamenti" the girl, Pansy Parkinson I think, shot at my hair. I screamed , my hair was now soaking wet. I growled and she stepped back, not far enough for my liking however. Malfoy came closer to me.
"You try that again and you're dead, Black." A sharp pain suddenly shot through my abdomen, and I doubled over in pain. Shakily I stood up straight again, and glared at Malfoy. My hair dried out and started to spark up. Parkinson pointed her wand at my head and I tried to pull mine out of my robes. My fingers stumbled and my wand fell to the floor.
"Accio!" It flew into Malfoy's outstretched hand and he smirked. He pointed my own wand at my face and with one flick a large cut appeared above my eye and blood started to trickle down my face. I winced slightly but showed no further emotion. Inside however I was screaming! Please don't let this happen again!
Crabbe and Goyle were laughing behind Malfoy as he grabbed my wrist and shoved me to the floor, I tried to put out my hand to save myself but as it hit the floor there was a loud crack and black dots appeared in my eyes. Tears slipped down my cheeks as my vision blurred.
"She's crying, that's so week!" Parkinson laughed. I turned to face them and scrambled to my feet, trying to grab my wand as I did but Malfoy pulled it out of my reach. I tried to back away but I bumped into someone, and realised that I was surrounded. I sobbed and pushed past him. I ran as fast as I could but Malfoy shot a bone breaker curse at me and my leg buckled. I tripped and fell into the wall at the end of the corridor.
Malfoy hadn't caught up as the wolf/dog in me made me run faster than most other people. I slid my back down the cold wall behind me. I started to cry again. It was just like last time, it was happening again.
I looked up as they all came around the corner. Stubbornly wiping my eyes, I looked straight at Malfoy. He raised his eyebrows but said nothing. They walked slowly, seemingly in no hurry to get to me. I went to get my wand out and realised that Malfoy was still holding it. By this time they had reached where I was standing. Parkinson's fist flew at my face and knocked me back down. I curled into a ball on the floor as they kicked me over and over. Gathering all the power I could I focused on my wand in Malfoy's hand. I squeezed my eyes shut in concentrarion and soon my wand flew out of his hand and I grabbed it.
(Its safe to read again now)
While they looked shocked I clambered to my feet again and ran away, going as fast as I could with a broken leg. Straight past the empty classrooms and towards DADA. I burst through the door my vision fuzzy from the blood and pain. Everyone turned to look at me and gasped. Malfoy, being bad at timing, chose to run in after me. There was another gasp as everyone realised what had happened and I only managed one glance around the room before the pain became unbearable and I fell to the floor.
