Chapter 3

Like Angelica had noticed the night before she had classes with Draco and the trio from Gryffindor for the first lesson Angelica had Transfiguration with Professor McGonagall she had arrived on time and has sat next to Hermione who smiled kindly at her as they both pulled out their equipment and began to copy off the board as they had been instructed by their Professor before she had transformed into her Animagus which was a tabby cat and sat on her desk watching as the class worked away.

As the class worked through the notes Angelica and Hermione looked up to see Harry and Ron running into the class very late they looked around and when Harry caught eyes with Angelica she gave him a kind smile.

"Whew, amazing, can you imagine the look on old McGonagall's face if we were late?" Ron said out of breath as he said this Angelica chuckled under her breath whilst Hermione rolled her eyes. The cat then jumped off the desk and turned back into their Professor who looked at the boys with strict eyes, but the boys just looked amazed. "That was bloody brilliant."

"Thank you for that assessment, Mr. Weasley. Maybe if I were to transfigure Mr. Potter and yourself into a pocket watch, maybe one of you would be on time."

"We got lost." Harry mumbled.

"Then perhaps a map? I trust you don't need one to find your seats." With that the boys found their seats and copied the board along with the class when the class had finished as Angelica went to leave with her friend a voice stopped her. "Miss Lupin, could I have a quick word" Angelica looked at her friends before smiling at them and turning back to McGonagall who didn't look angry. "I just wanted to check on you before you went to your next class we've only taught a few vampires in the years and they mostly took potions, so we didn't worry about the sun"

"I'm fine, thank you Professor, as long as I have my ring I should be fine, but I brought my charmed umbrella with me just in case" The elder Professor smiled kindly.

"Very well then, you best be off to your next lesson, just tell your Professor that you were with me" When Angelica made it to her next lesson, Potions, down in the Dungeons she opened the door seeing Snape at the head of the class.

"Miss Lupin would you care to explain why you have shown up late?" She resisted to look down in shyness as she felt all the class looking at her.

"I was with Professor McGonagall, sir" He sighed and pointed at a stool.

"Very well, take that seat" Angelica did as she was told and sat down only when she had brought out her notebook had she realised that she was sat next to Draco but before she could even know what to think Snape began talking. "There will be no foolish wand waving or silly incantations in this class. As such, I don't expect many of you to enjoy the subtle science and exact art that is potion making. However, for those select few," He looks down at Draco who smiles. "who possess the predisposition, I can teach you how to bewitch the mind and ensnare the senses. I can tell you how to bottle fame, brew glory and even put a stopper in death." Now both Draco and Angelica look at this impressed when Angelica was at Remus's house she would always read magic books and she had always like learning about potions and animal care. Behind Angelica Harry was writing everything Snape was saying down at to Snape this looked very much like he was not paying attention. "Then again, maybe some of you have come to Hogwarts in possession of abilities so formidable that you feel confident enough to not...pay...attention." Hermione noticed that Harry was still writing so she nudged him in his ribs making him look up to the Professor. "Mr. Potter. Our...new...celebrity. Tell me, what would I get if I added powdered root of asphodel to an infusion of wormwood?" Both Hermione and Angelica's hands shot up, but Harry shrugged. "You don't know? Well, let's try again. Where, Mr. Potter, would you look if I asked you to find me a bezoar?" Again, Hermione and Angelica's hands shot this this time managing to surprise Snape and Draco alike that Angelica knew both answers but again Harry didn't know.

"I don't know, Sir."

"And what is the difference between Monkshood and Wolfbane?" Angelica knew what Wolfbane was from whenever Remus transformed as she even learned how to make a patch for him whenever he forgot which turned out to be a lot.

"I don't know, Sir."

"Pity. Clearly, fame isn't everything, is it, Mr. Potter?" After the lesson was done Harry and the other two invited Angelica to sit with them whilst they worked on their homework as she accepted she noticed Draco looking at her.

"I'll meet you guys up there, save me a seat" She turned and walked up to Draco who asked.

"How did you know all of those answers?" She shrugged.

"Potions was one of the subjects I was looking forward to the most, so I dusted myself up on the knowledge beforehand. So how are you liking Slytherin?" He smiled at this.

"I'm loving it, it's the best shame you didn't get in though"

"The hat did seem to think I could go in, but it kept changing its mind on where I belong" Later, in the Great hall, Angelica sat with her Gryffindor friends as a boy called Seamus was trying to do a spell on a cup.

"Eye of rabbit, harp string hum. Turn this water, into rum." Seamus investigated the cup but shuck his head. "Eye of rabbit, harp string hum..." Harry looked over from Seamus to Ron asking.

"What's Seamus trying to do to that glass of water?" Ron sighed answering.

"Turn it into rum. Managed a weak tea yesterday, before..." A bang cut him off short as the cup exploded making the Gryffindor's laugh, but Angelica looked at him worriedly whilst asking.

"Seamus are you alright?" Seamus smiled whilst nodding.

"Yeah, I'll be fine, thanks Angelica" Suddenly, a flock of owls start coming into the hall from the rafters and through the windows. The owls soar by, dropping parcels to their owners Angelica see's Jinx, her pet owl, who lands in front of her with a letter in its mouth Angelica takes the letter and pets her owl then gives her a treat.

As the other students opened their mail Angelica sat back and read the letter upon opening the letter she could instantly tell that it was from Remus.

Dear Ellie

Hello, so how is Hogwarts going so far? Which house did you get put into? More importantly have you made any friends? I hope your liking your lessons especially Potions seeing as you couldn't stop talking about it. I know it's still far away, but I can't wait to see you for the Christmas break. Write back as soon as you can. Love you very much.

Love from

Remus.

(P.s Moony says hi)

The letter, despite being small, made her smile that was the beauty in the relationship that the godfather and goddaughter had they never needed to say a lot to get a large meaning. She took out a piece of parchment and an ink pot and a quill and wrote a reply.

Dear Remus

Hi, Hogwarts is going really, I well, I got placed into Hufflepuff, but the hat did seem to struggle on where to place me at first and as a matter of fact I have made a few friends three students from Gryffindor and one from Hufflepuff. I also am loving my lessons especially Potions the Professor I have had also been tasked with storing my food for me, he knew mum apparently, she took me to see him when I was younger, did you know any of this? I can't wait to see you for Christmas either. I love you to.

Love you back

Angelica

(P.s Hi Moony don't forget your Wolfbane in the fridge I left for you)

With that done Angelica gave Jinx a treat before giving her letter to her owl and letting her fly away that was when she heard Seamus say.

"Hey, look! Neville's got a Remembrall!" Hermione looked at it is saying.

"I've read about those. When the smoke turns red it means you've forgotten something." With that said the smoke in the orb turned into a dark red.

"The only problem is, I can't remember what I've forgotten." Neville said making Angelica chuckle at him.

"Hey, Ron, Angie, somebody broke into Gringotts. Listen, believed to be the work of dark witches or wizards unknown, Gringotts goblins, while acknowledging the breach, insist that nothing was taken. The vault in question, number 713, had in fact been emptied earlier that same day. That's odd. That's the vault Hagrid and I went to." Harry read to the two making them look at him confused. Later that day they all stood outside in two lines with brooms by their sides Angelica stood opposite of Draco who she gave a smile to who smiled back at her. The teacher then walked down the line she had short hair and hawk like yellow eyes.

"Good afternoon, class."

"Good afternoon, Madam Hooch."

"Good afternoon, Amanda, good afternoon. Welcome to your first flying lesson. Well, what are you waiting for? Everyone steps up to the left side of their broomstick. Come on now, hurry up. Stick your right hand over the broom and say, Up!" All the class starts saying the word up Harry's broom flies into his hand and quickly behind him Angelica's broom shoots up followed by Draco. Hermione's broom just rolls around on the floor and Ron's flies up and hits him on the nose making Harry and Angelica laugh the latter nearly falling to the floor whilst doing so. When everyone had their broom, Hooch continued. "Now, once you've got hold of your broom, I want you to mount it. And grip it tight, you don't want to be sliding off the end." All the class mounts their brooms. "When I blow my whistle, I want each of you to kick off from the ground, hard. Keep your broom steady, hover for a moment, and then lean forward slightly and touch back down. On my whistle...3...2..." Neville's broom immediately lifts of but he looks very frightened. The class watch as he flies off hitting the castle wall several times before he shoots past a statue with a sharp speak with catches Neville's cloak making him flip of his broom and fall to the ground making Angelica hiss sympathetically.

He soars through the sky and hits a wall, conking along it and then swooping off. All the while, he is screaming. He begins to zoom back towards the group of students. Hooch holds out her wand to stop him.

"Oh, oh, oh, oh dear. It's a broken wrist. Tch, tch, tch. Good boy come on now, up you get." Out of the corner of her eye Angelica saw that Draco had picked up Neville's Remembrall she was about to say something when Hooch began to lead Neville away. "Everyone's to keep their feet firmly on the ground while I take Mr. Longbottom to the hospital wing. Understand? If I see a single broom in the air, the one riding it will find themselves out of Hogwarts before they can say, Quidditch." With that she had left the class when

"Did you see his face? Maybe if the fat lump had given this a squeeze, he'd have remembered to fall on his fat ass." Angelica glared walking forward to him.

"You shouldn't say that Draco, he could have been really hurt" Draco smirked.

"Like I care about him, Angel" A pink blush powdered her face at the nickname she had heard many nicknames but never Angel before. Normally, Angelica would be able to retort but that nickname had left her flustered. Ron then looked confused at the two adding in.

"Why have you called her Angel? That's like something you'd call your pet" This comment sent both Draco and Angelica looking away from each other a light blush on their face as they glared at their feet luckily Harry walked up and tried to grab the Remembrall.

"Give it here, Malfoy." Draco managed to get himself back to normal saying.

"No. I think I'll leave it somewhere for Longbottom to find. "Draco hops on his broom and soars around the group the yelling. "How 'bout up on the roof??" He then soared above them and high into the sky. "What's the matter, Potter? Bit beyond your reach?" Harry then grabs his broom and gets ready to go when Hermione stops him.

"Harry, no! You heard what Madam Hooch said! Besides, you don't even know how to fly." Harry just flies away. "What an idiot." Angelica nods.

"I agree with you there 'Mione but to be fair he does seem to know how to fly" Above them Harry and Draco fly around each other until Draco throws the ball making Harry chase it until he managed to catch it. He comes to the ground the class cheering him before McGonagall cut the cheering to silence.

"Harry Potter? Follow me." Angelica looked worriedly at Harry whilst Draco and his goons laugh. But when Draco saw the glare that Angelica was shooting his way he cut his laughter short. Angelica and Ron had managed to find Harry who told him he was not expelled but instead her was the new Seeker for the Quidditch team.

"Seeker? But first years never make their house teams! You must be the youngest Quidditch player in-"

"A century, according to McGonagall." Harry finished Ron's sentence that was when Ron's older brothers Fred and George walked up to them and Fred spoke up.

"Hey, well done, Harry, Wood's just told us!" Ron looked to his friends telling them both.

"Fred and George are on the team, too. Beaters." George looked to Harry explaining.

"Our job is to make sure that you don't get bloodied up too bad. Can't make any promises, of course. Rough game, Quidditch." This made Angelica worried for her friend as Fred continued.

"Brutal. But no one's died in years. Someone will vanish occasionally..." The twins break off from the three first years but George yells one last thing to them.

"But they'll turn up in a month or two!!" Despite her being worried this did make Angelica chuckle as she could already tell she was going to get along with the twins.

"Oh, go on, Harry, Quidditch is great. Best game there is! And you'll be great, too!" Ron tries to persuade Harry at this point Hermione jumps into the group as Harry says.

"But I've never even played Quidditch. What if I make a fool of myself?"

"You won't make a fool of yourself. It's in your blood." The three of them looked at Hermione confused until she brought them to a trophy case she pointed to a plaque of a Quidditch player one read James Potter as a Seeker.

"Whoa. Harry, you never told me your father was a Seeker, too." Ron exclaimed.

"I-I didn't know." Harry stutters as they went to walk away a different name catches Angelica's eye. It read Sirius Black as a beater only looking at it a little sad at the memory she sighed and walked with her friends. She decided to walk with them to their dorm just for the company then when they had gotten to theirs she would go back to her's. As they walked up the staircase Ron says.

"I'm telling you, it's spooky. She knows more about you than you do." Harry resists rolling his eyes and says.

"Who doesn't?" Suddenly the staircase begins to move making Angelica fall on her butt on the stairs as she grabs the railing preventing from falling backwards.

"What's happening?" Harry asks.

"The stairs decide to change when it suits them for some reason Angelica answered. When the stairs stopped Harry helped Angelica up as they opened a door and walked into a spooky, dark room. They all looked around the room Harry then asking the group.

"Does anyone feel like...we shouldn't be here?" Hermione looked pointedly at the group.

"We're not supposed to be here. This is the 3rd floor. It's forbidden." Angelica couldn't help but smirk and say.

"Ooh forbidden I like me some forbidden things" this made even Hermione chuckle when suddenly a flame light the room up as this happens Flich's cat comes running in and meows at them. The group begin to run when they suddenly get to the end of the corridor to a locked door where Harry grabs the handle but its locked.

"That's it, we're done for!" Ron nearly yells.

"Oh, move over!" Hermione exclaims pushing her way through and pulls out her wand. "Alohomora." The door then clicked open and they all bustled in.

"Alohomora?" Ron asked.

"Standard book of spells, Chapter 7." Hermione answered. "Filch is gone." Hermione said letting out a deep breath.

"Probably thinks this door's locked." Ron says.

"It was locked."

"And for good reason." Angelica says as she stands next to Harry who are both looking frozen on the spot. There in front of them is a massive three headed dog sleeping in front of them. The dog then yawns waking up before growling noticing the children. The four of them scream before running out of the room. As they run back to the entrance of the Gryffindor common room they stand outside out of breath.

"What do they think they're doing?? Keeping a thing like that locked up in a school." Ron nearly yells.

"You don't use your eyes, do you? Didn't you see what it was standing on?" Angelica thought back at remembered a small wooden trap door under the dog's foot.

"I wasn't looking at its feet! I was a bit preoccupied with its heads. Or maybe you didn't notice, there were three!" Angelica shuck her head.

"No, Ron, Hermione's right it was stood on a trap door, right?" Angelica asked looking to Hermione who nodded.

"Which means it wasn't there by accident. It's guarding something."

"Guarding something?" Harry asked.

"That's right. Now, if you two don't mind, I'm going to bed before either of you come up with another clever idea to get us killed...or worse, expelled!" Hermione says before turning to leave shutting the door to the common room.

"She needs to sort out her priorities!" Ron said shaking his head Harry just nodding. Angelica sighed before making her own way back down to her common room unnoticed until Cedric walked up to her.

"Hey Ann, where you been?" Angelica smiled.

"Oh, just walked Harry, Ron and 'Mione back to their dorm" Cedric seemed sceptic but left it at that before walking to his door room.
