Harry Potter - Series Fan Fiction ❯ The Gryffindor Misfit ❯ Chapter Three ( Chapter 4 )

AN: Here is Chapter Three. I will be gone for a few days at my grandmother's house, and will not be able to work on the story as much. Also this is longer to make up for my absence. I have made a forum for this story, CHECK IT OUT. Also any ideas you want to submit are always appreciated, and considered. I am a very open person, and I will try and incorporate any good ideas you all come up with. Enjoy the chapter, and review if you can. It'd be nice to return from vacation to lots of reviews. I'll be more motivated to start on chapter four. Important thing to remember, only the Trio and Dumbledore know she's Snape's daughter.

~The Gryffindor Misfit~

 

Chapter Three: Down and Dirty Quidditch

 

After the mob had dissipated Ron, Harry, and the twins walked out to the Quidditch Pitch. They looked for Brittany and did not see her. Suddenly Ron's head was rustled by a wind. They all looked up to see her flying around recklessly.

 

"How fast is she going? She's going to get herself killed." Ron asked worried.

 

Fred and George laughed. “She takes after Charlie, he did teach her how to fly.”

 

“Huh?” Harry and Ron asked.

 

“You wonder why she is so messed up right?” George asked.

 

“Yeah.” Harry admitted.

 

“Well her dad and our dad worked together at the Ministry.” Fred began explaining. “When her dad was at work she was over with us, and stuck around Charlie.”

 

“He taught her everything about flying. Then when he was at Hogwarts we'd teach her to be a…” George continued.

 

“Cute and innocent looking menace.” They finished proudly.

 

“No wonder she's crazy.” Ron and Harry whispered.

 

“Anyway she's just releasing her stress. The speed is reckless but, she is using all her anger and channeling it into control over the speed.” George told the two boys.

 

“Charlie taught her how to do it. Though he never had anything as fast as her Firebolt.” Fred added.

 

“Alright, so do we start practice, or wait for the others?” Ron asked eager to start.

 

“You'll have to wait Ron.” Harry laughed. “We need Brittany calm before we start. Last time you made her angry during practice she kept hitting you with the Quaffle.” Harry reminded.

 

“Ugh, I remember. I swore that day never to tell her she was too slow.” Ron admitted, “She's bloody scary when she is angry.”

 

The four nodded their heads and then Alicia Spinnet and Angelina Johnson arrived on the scene as well. Finally their practice could begin, oh wait, curiosity is going to stall it.

 

“What's up with Britt? I hear she cost us a whole buch of points, and then Snape yelled at a huge group of fifth years and took one-hundred more.” Alicia asked curiously.

 

“Yeah, well Brittany stood up to Umbridge and she flipped. If it hadn't been for Dumbledore and Snape coming on the scene Brittany would have lost more points. She also would have had to spend a year's worth of detention with the pink toad.” Harry explained.

 

“Poor Britt, I heard that she was tormented again by some of the Gryffindors.” Angelina stated sympathetic.

 

Meanwhile Brittany was doing something that Charlie had taught her. She was bottling up her anger by flying around and letting her anger be concentrated in one area of her brain. This would make it so she could use it whenever she needed to. She was saving up for the match with Slytherin. The anger made her push herself harder, and that was crucial.

 

“Come on slow pokes. We have a practice to start.” She called out to her grounded teammates while she flew around them.

 

In only a few minutes their practice was underway. Brittany was trying to get Ron to Block some of her more complicated shots, but he was not doing so well.

 

“Brittany I can't do it. No one else throws the Quaffle like you do. You're the best chaser at Hogwarts, take it easy on me.” Ron whined after missing the Quaffle again.

 

“You know I could just pelt you like I did two weeks ago.” Brittany suggested nonchalantly, tossing the Quaffle up in the air and catching it.

 

“Never mind. Keep doing what you're doing.” Ron said quickly. Last time she did that was when he called her slow. He did not like feeling sore for the following week.

 

“Good.” Brittany stated before pushing Ron to try harder.

 

Practice finally ended and it was time to turn in. They had the Quidditch Pitch for an early morning practice of Six am.

 

“You know what Angelina.” George state angrily. “I hate you for this. It's too early.”

 

“Whatever.” She shot back annoyed.

 

Fred was busy trying to fall asleep on his broom. Unfortunately Brittany was a morning person and kept yelling in his ear as she passed by him. When the early morning practice was done everyone took a nap to gain their energy back for their game against Slytherin that day.

 

*Gryffindor Changing Rooms Before the Match*

 

“Alright team,” Angelina stated happily. “I am feeling good about this game. I'm not going to pep talk you like Wood did. Get out there and just kick some Slytherin ass!” She yelled the last part.

 

They were all cheering and ran out onto the field. The Slytherin Team was also on their way there. Once they all reached the center everyone took their positions. Madam Hooch made Angelina and Montague, the Slytherin Captain and Chaser, shake hands.

 

“I want a good clean match.” She told them.

 

Brittany rolled here eyes. Unfortunately this is a Slytherin vs. Gryffindor game. It'll be anything but clean.

 

Draco was pumped. He was determined to get revenge on Brittany no matter what it took. Better watch out Kai, I am going to get you today.

 

The whistle was blown and Brittany launched for the Quaffle. She snapped it to Angelina quickly to get it away from the Slytherins reach. Harry had flown up and was doing laps around the Pitch, as was Draco, both were scouting for the Snitch.

 

Lee Jordan was heard over the speakers, “Brittany Kai starts with the Quaffle passes it to Angelina Johnson. There's a fine girl for you. I've been saying it for years, but she still won't go out with me.”

 

“Jordan!” Professor McGonagall hissed.

 

“Sorry Professor, just some fun facts. Johnson passes to Alicia Spinnet. Spinnet dodges a Bludger, while still keeping possession of the Quaffle. Blaise Zabini is going after Spinnet. What is this? Kai dives under Spinnet, and Johnson flies above her.” Lee announced.

 

Brittany, Alicia, and Angelina had been practicing a trick for the past two years, and they had finally perfected it. Brittany would dive under Alicia and Angelina would fly above her.

 

Brittany and Angelina began circling around Alicia quickly getting closer to her. Suddenly Alicia did not have the Quaffle and Angelina was speeding toward the Slytherin's goals.

 

“In a stunning move Spinnet passes the Ball to Johnson, trying to trick the Slytherins. Unfortunately they weren't fooled. Theodore Nott has sent a bludger right for her. Nice save by Fred Weasley. Right for Malfoy. It was quickly deterred by Marcus Flint right for Angelina again. She's almost at the goal, still hovering over the Quaffle. Wait what's this?”

 

Angelina then stops in mid air. She was right near the right-most hoop. Brittany suddenly shot forward using her anger as fuel. She did a loop in mid air and revealed she had hid the Quaffle in her robes, while Angelina faked hovering over it.

 

“Wait! Kai has the Quaffle. She did a loop in mid air never revealing she had the Quaffle all along. George sends a Bludger to Bletchley. He has to dodge away from Kai to avoid it, and his beaters are to far away. He dodged leaving the left goal wide open. Kai aim's, SHE SHOOTS! SHE SCORES! Gryffindors 10, Slytherins nothing.”

 

“Now Zabini takes the Quaffle to the Gryffindor goals. Everyone is so excited they are signing”

 

You could hear the Slytherins sing out:

 

Weasley cannot save a thing,

He cannot block a single ring,

That's why Slytherins all sing

Weasley is our King.

 

Weasley was born in a bin,

He always lets the Quaffle in,

Weasley will make sure we win,

Weasley is our king.

 

Brittany and Harry glared at the Slytherins. Alright they wanna sing about Kings fine. I am a mercenary for my king, and mercenaries play dirty. “Alicia, Fred, George, Ron, and Angelina, I think it's time we get down and dirty!” She yelled. The other's heard her and nodded, but none of the audience was able to hear over the Slytherins singing.

 

Weasley is our King,

Weasley is our King,

He always lets the Quaffle in,

Weasley is out King.

 

“Zabini is nearing the goal posts now. Ron Weasley is all by himself. This is his chance to prove if he is as talented as his brothers.”

 

Harry had to look to see what was going to happen. Zabini passed to Warrington, their biggest chaser. Ron was alone.

 

“Warrington has the Quaffle he's out of Bludger range. What's this? Kai has taken Fred Weasley's bat and is speeding like a crazed bat out of hell towards Warrington. Can she do that?” Lee Jordan wondered aloud.

 

The Singing was getting louder.

 

WEASLEY CANNOT SAVE A THING

HE CANNOT BLOCK A SINGLE RING

THAT'S WHY SLYTHERINS ALL SING

WEASLEY IS OUR KING

 

Brittany had taken Fred's bat and sped towards Ron. She was not going for Warrington like everyone was thinking. She spent a long time trying to teach Ron how to play the muggle sport of American baseball. Now it was going to come in handy.

 

“I've never seen a person fly so fast. Even if she is riding a Firebolt. She's crazy if she thinks she can stop to hit…What's this she's tossed the bat to Weasley?”

 

Brittany reached Ron before Warrington could. She threw Ron the bat as she catapulted around the goal post. “Batter up Ronald. It's for you.” She yelled encouragingly.

 

WEASLEY WAS BORN IN A BIN,

HE ALWAYS LETS THE QUAFFLE IN,

WEASLEY WILL MAKE SURE WE WIN,

WEASLEY IS OUR KING!

 

Ron took hold of the bat like Brittany had taught him over the last few summers. She was determined and told him that muggle baseball would come in handy. She was right. Warrington looked confused, and Ron smirked. “Not today.”

 

WEASLEY IS OUR KING,

WEASLEY IS OUR KING,

 

“Warrington looks stunned, but still takes aim. Weasley brandishes the bat like a weapon. Warrington shoots.”

 

HE ALWAYS LETS THE QUAFFLE IN

WEASLEY IS OUR…

 

“Weasley smacks the ball away with the bat. Kai does another loop in midair and catches it. What grace she has. Too bad she also won't go out with me.”

 

“JORDAN!” McGonagall yelled loudly.

 

KING???

 

The Slytherins finished confused.

 

Everyone on the Pitch was amazed, even the Gryffindors. “I said Down and Dirty guys. Now let's play ball!” She shouted as she easily made another goal right in front of the distracted Bletchley.

 

“Ah a wonderful usage of distraction allows Kai to make yet another goal. Fred Weasley flies to retrieve his bat, and the others are all back into the game.” Jordan stated excited.

 

Draco was glaring like mad. Screw it she only has one beater to save her, and he's to far. He flew over to Theodore not and Stole his bat. He raced to the Bludger to hit it at Brittany.

 

Blaise was amazed that she had enough skill to make even Ron Weasley look good. She should be a Slytherin. Something in his peripheral vision gained his attention. He saw Draco aiming for Brittany with Theodore's bat. Don't do it. It's not worth it. He thought.

 

“Oh no. Malfoy has copied Kai and stolen Nott's bat. He's aiming at her. Fred is to far away getting his bat back, and George is no where near her.”

 

“Special Delivery Kai!” He yelled angrily aiming his bat.

 

Brittany was trying to catch the Quaffle as Montague tried to pass it through her to Warrington. She caught it and dived to avoid the two crashing into her.

 

Blaise had dived after her, following her, not speeding up enough to catch her. She's a damn good Quidditch player, I'd have no competition if Draco injures her enough, or kills her.

 

“Zabini has dived and followed Kai after a Brilliant interception on her part. Malfoy has aimed the bat. The twins are racing to intercept it by Kai. It's too fast.”

 

Blaise pulls back and tried to get in front of the Bludger before it hits Brittany. “He's insane!” The Slytherins gasp. Unfortunately, or fortunately depending on the point of view, Blaise was not fast enough. It passed right over his right shoulder and hit Brittany in her head.

 

“NOOOOOO!” The Gryffindor Team shouted.

 

“Kai's taken a Bludger to the head, with only one hand on the Broomstick. Zabini tried to intercept the Bludger for her. Kai's lost consciousness, and she's fallen off her broom. I've never seen a person take a Bludger to the head that hard and live.” Lee exclaimed.

 

Blaise was pissed off. He glared at Draco. "I told you I'd get her." Draco laughed haughtily.

 

“You git, you don't try to kill someone for slapping you!” Blaise hissed as he passed Draco.

 

During this drama no one had noticed, but Harry was trying to get their attention. He finally yelled as loud as he could. “I HAVE THE DAMNED SNITCH IN MY HANDS LEE JORDAN!”

 

Everyone turned to Harry. “Harry Potter has caught the Snitch. Gryffindor wins.” Only the people that still did not like Brittany cheered in Gryffindor.

 

The Gryffindor team dived to her as fast as they could. She was bleeding from the back of her head, as well as her arm being twisted under her at all the wrong angles. “CALL MADAM POMPFREY!” Madam Hooch yelled as loud as she could.

 

“Is she alright?” Asked Fred and George simultaneously. If Charlie ever found out Brittany died in a Quidditch game from a Bludger hitting her head, well they didn't want to even think about that. Oh and Snape would have all their asses, even Draco's.

 

Snape was stuck, he wanted to run to his daughter and hold her close. He wanted to yell and scream in anger. He just wanted to punch something really hard. His little girl was hurt, possibly dieing and there was nothing he could do.

 

Dumbledore sighed. “She'll be fine Severus. I won't need to expel Mr. Malfoy for such foul play. I do feel something should be done. I will check on Ms. Kai.” He stated keeping a certain fat pink toad out of the loop. Brittany is right, she does look like a toad.

 

Once Madam Pompfrey made it onto the field she gasped. After making sure there was a pulse, which there was, she quickly whipped out her wand she did a few spells to slow the bleeding. Unfortunately it was only temporary. “Weasley twins carry her inside; we've no time to lose.”

 

They nodded and began carrying her to the Hospital Wing. Harry, Ron, Alicia, and Angelina turned angry eyes to see Blaise punch Draco in the face. “You killed her you git. All because she slapped you when you insulted all her friends. It was no accident, everyone saw you meant to hurt her.” He screamed. “I'm your best friend, but I'm not so sure I want to be anymore.”

 

Draco, for the first time in his life felt guilty. Maybe I should not have hit it hard enough to kill her. He shook his head. What am I thinking, of course I am right. Blaise is just pissed he won't get any excitement out of playing against as good a chaser as Kai was. He thought during Blaise's rant.

 

Snape had come up to the scene. “Mr. Malfoy you are lucky that you will not be expelled right now. That was a hit intended to cause serious harm, and Mr. Zabini just proved it. Fifty points from Slytherin, for your foul actions. If she dies you can consider yourself expelled.” He hissed.

 

The Gryffindors were amazed. Hermione (AN: Thought I had forgotten about her Huh? Or did you forget about her too???) used this advantage to push through the crown and run to Ron. “She's going to be alright Ron? Right? RIGHT?” She cried out. Seeing no answer she looked at Harry. “Right Harry? RIGHT?”

 

Hermione began bawling her eyes out. Her best friend was probably dying in the Hospital Wing and there was nothing she could do. “I'm sorry Hermione we don't know.” He admitted.

 

Snape was furious, he would have probably cursed Draco with the Crucio curse, and not have cared of the consequences, if he did not have to hide the fact that Brittany was his daughter. I swear to you. If you live through this I will tell you who your mother is on Christmas. You have to live to see Christmas, your mother and you both loved it.

 

Everyone slowly walked back into Hogwarts to either do homework, eat, or even sleep. The Golden Trio went to check on Brittany, but Fred and George stopped them. They were standing guard outside the door.

 

“Let us through guys. We need to see Brittany.” Ron demanded.

 

George sighed and said, “well Brittany needs intensive care.”

 

“All of Madam Pompfrey's attention,” Fred continued.

 

“And no visitors.” They finished together.

 

“So why are you here?” Harry asked confused.

 

“Keeping guard for Madam Pompfrey.” Fred explained.

 

“Go on back to the Common Room. We'll tell you when you can see her.” George finished before ushering them away.

 

*Gryffindor Common Room*

 

Harry, Ron, and Hermione walked into what could be considered a feud. Half of the Gryffindors were on one side yelling at the others. The Trio looked at each other confused.

 

“She did deserve it Weasley! She's cost us so many points, she deserves an injury.” Seamus shouted angrily.

 

“No, no one deserves that kind of pain.” Dean Thomas shot back just as angry.

 

“I say good riddance to that stupid misfit. She never belonged here.” Lavender Brown hissed.

 

Harry flipped out again. For some reason he always felt the need to protect Brittany, even though he had no romantic interest in her. “SHUT THE BLOODY HELL UP!”

 

Everyone fell silent as Harry glared at each of them individually. “One of our own was injured tonight during a well played game of Quidditch. We won, yes, but at what cost. BRITTANY KAI IS DYING OR POSSIBLY DEAD OR CRYING OUT LOUD! Yet you bastards are here, yelling about it!” He turned on the side that was insulting Brittany. “You should be ashamed to call yourselves Gryffindors. She played an excellent game, she stood up to Umbridge, she has never even sought revenge for all the times you insult her. And here you sit cursing her name, when her life is on the line!” He yelled.

 

Everyone was silent. Still no one would back down from their opinions. Harry yelling at them only angered them more. People are hard to change, and they were proving it.

 

Harry, Ron and Hermione all left for their rooms. They could not stand even looking at the people who were insulting Brittany while she lay fighting for her life in a hospital bed.

 

*The Next Day*

 

Tensions were high at Breakfast the next day. People in all different sorts of housed were angered by the attack on Brittany. She was kind and helped anyone who needed it. Other's thought she was a misfit and did not even belong in Hogwarts let alone Gryffindor.

 

Fred and George burst into the Great Hall after being allowed to stay the night in the Hospital Wing to keep watch over Brittany. They ran to the Trio and grabbed them, without a word.

 

No one else dared get up. They were all eager to know if these were Brittany Kai's last moments alive. Or if the Trio was simply the first people she wanted to see while she recovered. No one dared mess with the Twins though; they were always fierce protectors over Brittany.

 

After a few minutes of silence, one lone Slytherin stood up and walked out of the Great Hall and towards the Hospital Wing, afraid of what he might find.

 

*Hospital Wing An Hour Earlier*

 

Brittany was finally stabilized, and Madam Pompfrey smiled. “Ugh. I feel like I was stampeded by trolls.” Brittany whined.

 

“Well you did take a deathly hit to the head from a Bludger. I think you are the first person who lived after such a severe blow. Had it hit you any harder your skull would have shattered. I had to help the bones grow, and stitch you up, and keep you stabilized. It was touch and go for a while.” She admitted proud of herself. “But you would not give up, so I did not either.”

 

“I know this is a tad asinine, but did Gryffindor win or lose?” She asked the curiosity eating at her.

 

“They won. While everyone was distracted by you Harry caught the snitch. Actually he had to scream to get Lee Jordan's attention to make the final announcement.” Madam Pompfrey explained.

 

Brittany chuckled “How long until you release me?” She wondered.

 

“I will need to run some tests to determine that. It should only take forty-five minutes.” Madam Pompfrey told her.

 

“Okay.”

 

After Forty-five minutes Madam Pompfrey was done with her examination. Alright Ms. Kai I am happy to say nothing seems terribly wrong with you. Unfortunately to make sure the head wound heals up nicely and efficiently, as well as you arm ends up mended correctly, I will need to keep you here. It will probably be until Tuesday morning, Monday night of you are healing nicely.” She explained quiet happy with her success.

 

“Thank you Madam Pompfrey, you saved my life.” Brittany cried out happily.

 

There were two thuds from out side the door and Madam Pompfrey rolled here eye. “These two insisted on guarding the door until you were healed so I could focus on you uninterrupted.”

 

“Can I see them?” Brittany asked excitedly, her emerald eyes sparkling.

 

“Yes you may. But try not to push yourself too hard.” She advised before opening the door. “You may see her now.”

 

“Brittany you're alive!” They yelled together before each one kissed one of her cheeks.

 

“We thought we'd lost you.” Fred exclaimed happily.

 

“We thought that we'd never see you smile again.” George admitted.

 

“We were afraid we'd lost out little one.” The two cried out obnoxiously.

 

“I am fine you two. Thanks for worrying about me though.” Brittany smiled brightly at them.

 

“That's our girl.” They praised.

 

Madam Pompfrey decided to step in before the twins became too excited and accidentally hurt her patient. “Why don't you two go and get Mr. Potter, Mr. Weasley, and Ms. Granger. I am sure they are anxious to hear of her state.”

 

They nodded and left to go find the Golden Trio. Brittany laughed, “you stepped in so they wound not hurt me accidentally huh?”

 

“That is correct, you are still my patient. I need to look out for you with all the boys who are going to be happy you are okay.” Madam Pompfrey stated in a fake stern tone..

 

*Present*

 

Five bodies burst into the room. Brittany was almost scared they were going to run her over at first. Fortunately seeing her in a weakened state caused them to think before charging into hug her. “Hey guys, you okay, you look like you've seen a ghost.” Brittany joked.

 

Harry launched at her and kissed her forehead. “For a while there I thought we had. Never worry my like that again. I have never been so scared in my entire life.” He admitted.

 

Ron and Hermione ran to her side next. Hermione was crying so hard she could not even speak. “What Hermione is trying to say is, we're so happy you're alive.” Hermione nodded.

 

“I can't wait to tell the team about it.” Fred admitted.

 

“Well lets go then.” George called. “We'll be back later.”

 

“With Sweets for our sweet little menace.” They laughed.

 

Brittany smiled before feeling dizzy. “Madam Pompfrey am I supposed to feel dizzy?” She asked quietly.

 

“It's highly unlikely you would not be.” She then shooed the trio out of the room. “Why don't you go spread the news. Brittany still needs lots of rest. One of you make sure Dumbledore owled her father as well.” She ordered.

 

“Yes Madam Pompfrey.” They chorused.

 

Once they were gone Madam Pompfrey gave Brittany some medicine. “This will help you fall asleep and dull the pain.”

 

“Oh give me that. I do not care how bad it tastes.” Brittany begged, her headache reaching high tension.

 

There was a knock on the door. “Who could that be?” They both wondered.

 

Brittany took the medicine and nearly gagged. “This is awful.” She whined.

 

“The best medicines are my dear.” She stated while opening the door. “Mr. Zabini what are you doing here?”

 

“I was just wondering if I could see how Bri…I mean Kai was doing?” He admitted quietly.

 

“She just took some medicine to help her fall back asleep, but if you keep that tone of voice you can stay until she falls asleep.” She allowed, only because he tried to save her even if their houses were sworn enemies.

 

Blaise quickly and quietly walked over to Brittany's side. He stood there and smiled at her. “Are you okay?” He asked not able to think of anything else.

 

Brittany chuckled. “Yeah, I'm alive. That's better than the alternative. So what are you doing here? Oh and please sit. You don't need to stand on my account.” Brittany rambled, the medicine beginning to kick in.

 

“I wanted to see how you were doing. I saw Draco was trying to hurt you intentionally and that was why I was following you. I'm Sorry,” Blaise whispered, “I tried to stop him. Unfortunately I was unable to intercept it.” Blaise admitted.

 

“I'm glad you failed. Now when I get better I can go after Malfoy for vengeance. Thank you for trying to save me. It does mean a lot, because I am a Gryffindork.” She stated slowly getting quieter.

 

“You're not a Gryffindork, you are a person and probably the best damn chaser I have ever played against. I did not want you killed because then I'd have no one who tested me to my limits.” He admitted.

 

“Well, you're not so bad, yawn, yourself Zabini.” She gave another loud yawn before continuing. “Don't' be too mad at Malfoy, we've always seemed to hate each other. I don't think it will ever end.” She began yawning again. “He needs you now to defend him though. Harry, Ron, Hermione, Ginny, Hagrid, The Twins, The rest of my team, and probably Snape will be after his ass. Friends stick together no matter what, and you are his friend.” She gave a tiny yawn after than and snuggled into her pillow having said her peace.

 

Blaise nodded and agreed. Brittany soon fell asleep smiling and he could not help thinking she reminded him of his older sister. He replayed her words, but wondered why Snape would be `after his ass,' as she put it. Unfortunately she was asleep, and desperately needed the rest. She was right though, Snape had flipped on Draco. He wondered why she would figure that, but put is aside as he left to do his Potions Essay.

 

*With the Trio*

 

“I have had it with Malfoy!” Ron yelled.

 

“I have to admit he went WAY to far this time.” Hermione agreed.

 

“He almost killed our best friend Harry whispered still amazed that Brittany had lived. He was so sure she was not going to survive the night. So sure that he would not be there for her final breath.

“That's it, he's going down.” The two boys stated in absolute anger.

 

Hermione just rolled her eye. I wish this cycle of revenge would stop somehow. It is getting bothersome, on both ends I am sure.

 

The trio headed towards Dumbledore's office and noticed Snape there as well. “She's alive, and recovering.” The three admitted.

 

Snape appeared to have had a great weight lifted from his chest. “Thank god.” I can't believe I almost lost my baby girl.

 

“Um Professor Dumbledore, Madam Pompfrey wanted to know if you owled Brittany's father. I assume she meant Kevin Kai.” Hermione asked.

 

“Actually Severus did, but never mind that.” Dumbledore stated kindly.

 

“Dumbledore I think it best of you do add those points to Gryffindor for the Weasley Twins helping a fellow student and keeping watch over her.” Snape admitted. He was torn between his house and his daughter, and yesterday all that mattered was his daughter. Now that he knew she was safe he could protect her from afar again.

 

*Brittany's Dream*

 

She was playing in a field of pink and red flowers happily picking them. She began talking to no one in particular.

 

So I guess I was attack yesterday by Draco Bloody Malfoy. Apparently I almost died. Also my arm was really badly broken. Good thing I was unconscious so I did not feel it huh. Man I just hope that people don't think of me as weak. I'd make me sad. I'm sick of being sad. I hope dad didn't blow our cover in his worry over me. Though I do hope someone punches Draco in the face. Oh well I am just glad I survived. I am Brittany Kai, the Gryffindor Misfit, and I don't know when to give up.

Preview of Next Chapter:Family Ties and a New Friend

 

“I can't believe he is still forcing them to work together.” Harry Grumbled.

 

“That is no excuse Ms. Kai!” Umbridge stated angrily.

 

“You will refrain from such atrocities against my daughter.” ******* yelled angrily.

 

“I think she suits you.” Blaise admitted smirking.

 

“Brittany your little `pet' just bit me.” Ron screeched.

 

“I hate you!” Brittany cried.

 

“Professor Snape's your father?” ******* gaped in amazement.
