House Rivalry (Open to everyone)

[Demetria Lestrange]

Demetria was not a morning person, she hated mornings. She was used to sleeping in, since she had come back to Hogwarts she had to wake up early which was just bloody annoying. She had woke up feeling something sat on her feet, it had turned out to be one of the other girls cat. "Get off." She had snapped before giving it a good kick off her. She glanced at the clock, she groaned "Too early." it was 6 o'clock. She never woke up this early. Unfortunately once she was awake - she couldn't get back to sleep. 'Stupid cat' She thought to herself as she pulled herself out of bed. She got dressed and pulled a brush though her hair, today it was poker straight. As she got to the common room the annoying cat was walking between her ankles looking for someone to scratch it behind its ears. "I said go away." she said as red sparks shot from her wand at it making it run away with a hiss.

She headed to the great hall, she needed something to eat and something to wake her up. She was surprised to see some people up already. "How can people get up this early - its just not normal." She muttered to herself, like I said Demetria wasn't a morning person and she was in a horrible mood. She sat that the slytherin table and grabbed some pumpkin juice and took a sip. Desperately trying to not fall asleep, because if she did then her head would hit the table with a bang like Damian had done a few mornings ago.

Throwing her long raven dark hair behind her so that it tumbled down her back and stopped just on her waist. Looking up at the bewitched ceiling she groaned, she was sick of the school now. She wanted to officially become a Deatheater and do something worthwhile, after all the Dark Lord didn't care about how many NEWTS she had. Her light blue eyes scanned round the great hall trying to find someone she could hex or wind up - anything to pass the time and cause some amusement at the same time but she was disappointed there was only a few first years and she got bored of them - they just ran away, no fun at all.

[``hermione jean granger]

Hermione woke up early to the rising sun shining in her eyes. "Damn it," she muttered as she rolled over and tried to go back to bed. But the sun had already woken her up and there wasn't any hope of her falling back asleep. Hermione sat in bed and stretched her arms, maybe she could make this morning productive. She got up, petted her cat Crookshank's head and tip toed over to her dresser. She picked up a red tee shirt and a pair of skinny jeans and slipped into her clothes quietly. Hermione didn't want to wake up the other girls. She put on a pair of flip flops and grabbed her Potions textbook. She could study while grabbing breakfast and some pumpkin juice.

She exited the Gryffindor Tower and headed towards the Great Hall. Hermione had a really big craving for pancakes. She waked briskly towards the Great Hall and when she reached her destination she quickly found a table and sat down. She spread her Potions textbook in front of her, and opened to the chapter she was assigned for homework. She began reading and mentally taking notes, when a girl caught her eye. Demetria Lestrange was standing in the Great Hall, looking especially pissy. Great, Hermione thought to herself. This isn't what I need right now.

She pulled her hair back into a bun and tried to focus on her book, but her blood began to boil under her skin. This girl was proud of her sick muderer parents, and was exactly like them. Demetria exemplified everything Hermione hated. She was obsessed with "blood purity" and the Dark Arts. Hermione wished Demetria would leave Hogwarts already because she obviously didn't want to be there. Hermione kept her eyes on her book, trying not to look at Demetria.

[Ginny Weasley]

It was early, Ginny could tell before she even opened her eyes which was why at this moment in time that she had pulled the cover over her head and her eyes tightly shut. She knew that as soon as she opened them she wouldn't be able to get back to sleep. She layed there for a few more minutes and she waited for sleep to once again wash over her but it wasn't happening. She pulled a face as she sat up. She had been hoping to sleep in today, well so much for that. She pulled herself out of bed quietly and got dressed. After falling over one of the other girls shoes she cursed silently. "Ouch..."

she had expected to see someone in the common room but she was out of luck, she sighed maybe she would have better luck in the great hall and be able to eat breakfast without having to watch ron stuff it down his throat. Her brother really was a pig. When she got into the great hall she smiled when she saw Hermione sat there, least there was someone there she could talk to - Ginny's smile dropped however when she saw Demetria Lestrange. It was unusual to see her down here early and Demetria was one person Ginny hadn't wanted to see. Their last meeting didn't go well and Ginny had come out the worst out of the two. But it wasn't something that wasn't easily fixed.

She was determined to ignore the girl, Demetria Lestrange was not going to wind her up today. "Hermione..." She said with a smile as she sat down next to her. "Couldn't sleep either?"

[``hermione jean granger]

Hermione kept her eyes glued to the potions textbook, trying to keep focused. She needed to how to brew a Draught of the Living Dead flawlessly by Monday morning. She read and reread the instructions, but couldn't seem to focus. Suddenly Hermione heard a familiar voice and looked up to see her friend Ginny Weasley staring at her. "Hey Ginny," Hermione said, her mood brightening. It was strange to see Ginny up this early, she was a late sleeper like the rest of the Weasleys. However, Hermione wasn't upset to see her good friend up this early. At least if Demetria decided to start an argument she would have an ally.

Hermione couldn't wait to tell Ginny exactly what had happened the night before. She had barely slept after she had the long talk with Ron in the common room that led to Hermione kissing Ron and the two of them finally dating. "Couldn't sleep, apparently neither could your brother and we stayed up talking." Hermione grinned, she was terribly excited to tell her best girl friend all about her new boyfriend. Even if her new boyfriend was her best friend's brother. "I finally told Ron about my feelings, and one thing led to another. I kissed him, and now we are dating. It was a freaking amazing night." Hermione gushed.

She looked out of the corner of her eye to see Demetria still scowling. Hermione wanted nothing more than to hex her, but she wouldn't attack anyone unless she had been provoked. Maybe Demetria wouldn't notice Hermione, and the morning wouldn't be eventful. However in Demetria's mind Hermione was a "mudblood" and Ginny was a "blood traitor" so it was unlikely that Demetria would just ignore them.

[Ron Weasley]

Ron was woken up by someone screaming and as he looked around immediately thinking it was Harry he realized it wasn’t but it was actually Neville Longbottom he groaned throwing daggers at Neville with his eyes. This was one thing horrid about sharing a room they often woke each other up and Neville quickly apologized and headed off to sleep. As he looked around he noted that Harry was still up but, just laying there and that Dean and Seamus were just talking and cursing Neville under the breath. It was only by now six –twenty in the morning! Ron kind of cursed Neville under his breath just as much as Dean and Seamus and was about to go back to sleep when he felt his stomach rumbled and he groaned in frustration. He couldn’t go to sleep being hungry.

So, Ron rather nosily got out of bed and went and changed into a random pair of blue jeans and a white T-Shirt that used to belong to Bill. Then heading down to the Great Hall for breakfast. He looked extremely tired and as he entered and looked around he noticed there weren’t too many people up then again it was so dang early. Dang Neville! Were his only thoughts at the moment? He glanced over at the Slytherin Table and glared at random Slytherins and mumbled under his breath. “ Stupid Slytherins” before heading over to the Gryffindor Table and taking a seat near Hermione and Ginny letting his eyes linger on Hermione for a rather long time before he turned and glared at his sister and then went into a rant. “Neville woke me up screaming! I thought it was Harry… but, then it just turned out to be Neville!” he said as he groaned in frustration he was so not awake right now.

He now glanced down at all the food around him before taking his plate and scooping up eggs and putting a lot on the plate before grabbing the sausage and putting a lot on his plate. He then grabbed his fork and stuffed his face with the eggs letting out a sigh of relief he was terrible hungry.

[Ginny Weasley]

Ginny took a drink of pumpkin juice to try to wake herself up a bit, today was going to be a long day, urgh she hated early mornings. What she wouldn't give to be able to go back to bed and sleep. As she listened to hermione she had taken a large gulp of pumpkin juice and nearly choked on it when Hermione said that her and Ron was now dating. "Well its about time you told him you liked him. I've had to listen to him go on all summer about how much he likes you but can't tell you." She said with a smile.

Ginny was happy for her best friend and her brother, they were made for each other and it saved Ginny from banging their heads together to get them to date. "I'm happy for you." She would love to have hermione in the family - well she practically was family already. "You can fill me in on all the details later." She said with a smile as Ron came in. She wrinkled her nose up as Ron stuffed his face with food. "Ron you really are a pig." She shook her head "Hermione please try to teach him some table manners."

She glanced at the slytherin table at Demi, who looked murderous. The saying 'if looks could kill' sprang to mind. "Wonder what woke the ice queen up?.... what ever it was didn't do us a favor because now us mere mortals will have to suffer her wrath." she said with a small laugh.

[``hermione jean granger]

Hermione laughed as Ginny nearly choked on her pumpkin juice. That was pretty much the reaction she expected. Ginny was Hermione's best girl friend, and it was great that Giny was so enthusiastic about her and Ron dating. She didn't expect Ginny to be upset, considering the fact that Ginny kept trying to convince her to tell Ron how she felt. Ginny was right the whole time. "I will definitely give you the scoop later." She grinned as she saw Ron walking up.

He looked good in his jeans and ratty white tee shirt. It had to have belonged to one of his older brothers. Maybe Charlie or Bill, but definitely not Percy. Ron hated Percy at this point and time. Hermione noticed as his eyes lingered on her for a few long moments, and she smiled. Last night hadn't been a dream. She was really dating Ron Weasley. "Ginny, I believe that is quite the impossible task. You can't teach old dogs new tricks..." Hermione laughed. Ron's table manners were atrocious, but entertaining. It was amazing how thin he was considering how much food he ate.

Hermione helped herself to some butter and toast, and grinned as Ginny called Demetria the ice queen. "I'd keep your voice down. You don't want Madam Icicle to hear a blood traitor and a muggle born talking about her, unless you want her to freeze you with her icy glare." Hermione rolled her eyes. Demetria walked around her like she was queen of the school, but most everyone outside of the Slytherin house hated her.

[Demetria Lestrange]

Demetria tapped her fingers on the table in an irregular pattern, she glanced down at her forearm where the dark mark should be but she was yet to be marked - and she found it all terribly unfair. Her mother was a deatheater, one of the most trusted deatheaters! her father was a deatheater, Damian, Draco and Mala all had the dark mark which they all rubbed in the fact that Demetria didn't. She was just as good if not better than half the deatheaters he already had. She had already proved that fact several times.

Snapping herself back into reality her eyes fell on Hermione. Great just what she wanted, a mudblood for her to torture - should keep her entertained for a while and she didn't need an excuse to hex granger. Demi would just hex granger for the hell of it and because she was a mudblood and as far as Demi was concerned - Granger had no right to study of process magic. An evil smile crossed her face as Ginny came in followed by Ron, oh this was going to be fun. A mudblood and two blood traitors to wind up. Maybe getting up early wasn't so bad..... nah.... it wasn't worth waking up early, she would rather stay in bed and if there was a hot guy in the bed with her then it was even better.

Rage boiled inside her, pointless maybe, uncalled-for, but had she ever been able to stop those feelings? No. She was a Lestrange and though she was allowed to be angered. And with this knowledge added to the rage and the wish to send these people to hell, she tossed some of her long dark hair back behind her shoulder and approached them to send them out of her sight with all the friendliness a Lestrange ever showed – none. "I thought I smelt something come in, a mudblood and a couple of bloodtraitors." She smirked "Whats the matter weasley?.... the 'chosen one' seen sense and dumped you?"

[``hermione jean granger]

Hermione groaned as when she saw she had been spotted by Demetria. This was not what Hermione needed, especially this early in the morning. "What out, here comes the soul less wretch," Hermione muttered to Ron and Ginny. Knowing Demetria, she wasn't going to be pleasant. Hermione looked up, stared her straight in the eye and smirked. "Good morning Demetria," she said icily. "What a nice surprise to see you up this early." Hermione wanted the girl to go away as soon as possible.

Hermione couldn't stand that the Slytherins treated her like a pariah because her parents weren't magical. She didn't want the Slytherin's approval, but she hated having to constantly watch her back for they were always trying to hex her. "My parents may be muggles, but at least they aren't murderous psychopaths. Go back to the dungeons where you belong," she retorted. She wasn't going to sit down and let Demetria call her a mudblood. That was something Hermione would never let slide. She was the brightest witch of her age, so it shouldn't matter who her parents are, but of course to the Slytherin crowd her parentage did matter.

Hermione looked away from Demetria and looked back at Ginny. That was all she was going to say to Demetria for know, she didn't really want to talk to her any further. She sat there silently, eating her toast reading her potions textbook. She knew she shouldn't have sunk down to Demetria's level, but she wasn't going to take those insults lying down. She was sick of tired of Demetria's crap.

[Ginny Weasley]

"I'm not bothered whether she hears us or not." Ginny said simply. If Demetria wanted to start an argument it was three against one, Even Demetria Lestrange wasn't that good at dueling. "Urgh something wicked this way comes.." She muttered as Demetria came over, Ginny should have known Demetria could never resist an argument. "What brings you here to us mere mortals?" She asked as she looked up at her.

She rolled her eyes, "My relationship with Harry has nothing to do with you Demetria." She snapped back. "And what would you know about a relationship anyway! You don't date, your not with any guy long enough to call it a relationship." She retorted, she could keep going on and on, Demetria Lestrange was one girl she would love to hex but was resisting the temptation at the moment. "known as the school's broomstick arn't you?" She questioned with a smirk "Every guy has had a ride...." Everyone knew that Demi had various snogging partners, she never stayed with one guy longer than a few days. As soon as a guy called her 'his girlfriend' she got rid. Ginny had, had enough of having to listen to whatever Demetria said.

[Ron Weasley]

Ron gasped a bit at Hermione’s comment on the whole dog thing and some egg fell out of his mouth as he gave her a glare. “ So, much for having a nice girlfriend…” he pouted but he quickly shrugged it off as he piled more eggs into his mouth. He heard Ginny and Hermione talking about Demetira and he laughed a bit rolling his eyes. He was about to say more on the subject when he noted that she was now walking over to their table. He gave her a glare setting his fork down. Who the heck did she think she was!? She wasn’t even that important she could sometimes be worse than Draco Malfoy and that was saying a lot.

He didn’t see why she thought her insults were hurting any of them they were starting to get old rather fast. It’s nothing none of them hadn’t heard before. “Wow, awesome greeting… I’ve never heard anyone greet us that way before…” Ron said with a smug grin on his face as he stuffed more eggs in his face. Her coming up to their table didn’t really stop him from eating he wasn’t really bothered with her at the moment anyways. However he had his wand in his pocket ready to grab it if he had to. He was just hoping she didn’t start a duel but, if she was smart she wouldn’t she’d be totally out numbered.

Ron scrunched up his nose in disgust hearing Ginny say every guy has had a ride and he about chocked on his eggs. “ Eww… Ginny not every guy. For one not me and Harry… only the guys that have no decent standards…” he told Ginny the look of disgust on his face still.

[Daniella Rookward]

Daniella had woken up early yet again after having another nightmare about her mother's death. She didn't know why she kept having these nightmares but deep down she knew she felt guilty for not protecting her mother a lot better. She should've hexed her father or done something but she also knew that even if she tried harder her mother wouldn't have stood a chance.

She rolled out of bed and took a quick shower then attempted to do something with her hair. She decided not to waste any time doing something spectacular to it and just pulled it back in a ponytail. Before doing her hair she pulled on some clothes and fastened the clasp on the eagle pendant her mother gave her. She then put some books in her bag to prepare for classes and then left the Ravenclaw common room.

As she walked in she saw two Gryffindor students in her year; Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley, along with his little sister Ginny who was in the same year as her sister Elizabeth. She smiled at the group which quickly frowned when she noticed that Demetria Lestrange, a seventh year Slytherin, was there. She really hated the lot of them. She heard what Ron said about guys without decent standards dated Demetria and she couldn't help but laugh.

[Demetria Lestrange]

"How dare you talk to me like that!" She was a pureblood and a Lestrange. She demanded respect. She instinctively got hold of her wand but she didn't draw it yet, she was good at dueling - she hadn't yet lost a duel, against one of the it was obvious that she was going to win it wasn't even a challenge. Against two of them she was pretty sure she would still win but against three of them, she was out numbered and wasn't liking her odds.

"Oh please I have better things to do with my time than think of insults for you." She said as she tossed some of her hair back with her other hand. She pulled a face as the food that Ron was trying to eat fell out onto his plate. 'Urgh that's disgusting.' "I would rather be nice to a house elf than go anywhere near you two." She was going to say that she wouldn't go near a gryffindor but that wasn't true as she had already slept with a gryffindor - well in her defense, he had already graduated and he was a pureblood. "This coming from the son of a woman that has more kids than what she can afford. What she trying to do breed her own army?" She snapped. No one talked to her like that and got away with it. "What's up Weasley? the love potion finally wore off Potter and starting to question why he would ever settle for a blood traitor?"

[``hermione jean granger]

Hermione laughed at loud at Ginny's comment, and almost choked on her toast when she heard Ron's. She grinned at Ron as he called Demetria a slut. "Ron, I'd hope you decent standards. Sleeping with a Slytherin? I couldn't imagine anything more revolting," she said smirking at Demetria. This girl had a loud mouth, but she wouldn't do anything in the middle of the Great Hall unless she was incredibly stupid. Demetria Lestrange wasn't stupid, she was just incredibly evil.

Hermione rolled her eyes when Demetria yelled at her. Hermione had no patience for "pure blood fanatics" like Demetria. When she saw Demetria reach for her wand, Hermione instinctively wrapped her fingers around her own wand. There was no way Demetria would win a duel against Hermione, let alone Ron, Ginny and Hermione. She glared at Demetria, waiting to see if she was going to attack. "Obviously Demetria, you don't have anything better to do than insult us or you wouldn't be here." Hermione stood up and leaned over the table towards Demetria. "Unless you want to attack two prefects and get yourself thrown out of school, I suggest you get the hell away from our table."

Hermione stood there, glaring at Demetria waiting for Demetria to make a move. Hermione held a steady grip on her wand, but kept in in her pocket until Demetria attack. The was no way Hermione would attack someone first, but if she was attacked by someone, all bets were off.

[Ginny Weasley]

"I should hope that you and Harry haven't been anywhere near her, Or I would have to knock some sense into you." Ginny said with a grin. Ginny went for her own wand when Demetria insulted her mother. "Leave my mum out of this Lestrange! least my parents aren't murdering psychopaths." How can anyone be proud to have parents like Bellatrix and Rodolphus Lestrange, they were both insane that got a sick thrill from seeing people in pain.

"Why don't you just do everyone a favor and just leave?.... it doesn't take a genius to work out that you don't want to be here, and we don't want you here either." She tucked some of her hair behind her ear with her other hand as she made sure she had held of her wand. You couldn't be too careful when it came to Demetria Lestrange - she didn't fight fair. She waited for Demi to make the first move - she wasn't stupid enough to attack them in the great hall in front of everyone but you never know, Ginny wasn't taking any chances. Ginny wasn't going to attack first - well it depended on how much the slytherin got on her nerves.

[Ron Weasley]

Ron rolled his eyes a bit pretty much at everyone at this point. “ Well, there’s no way I’d ever actually even come close to touching her… have you saw her?” he asked with disgust in his voice as he randomly shoved a sausage in his mouth as if she wasn’t even right there hearing everything he was saying. But, he really didn’t like the girl she annoyed him sometimes he found her to be a lot worse than Draco. He never thought it was possible till he met her. “Besides…” he paused. “ I’m already with the best looking girl in the school…” he stated simply shrugging his shoulders. He was about to throw another sausage in his mouth when he grabbed his wand out of his pocket pulling it out and pointing it at Demetria.

It only took Ron so much to get angry. “Don’t ever speak about my mum like that again! How dare you!? At least my parents are actually in love unlike you… if you got pregnant you won’t even know who the bloody father was…” he said with a roll of his eyes. “And, yeah sure she’s trying to breed her own army whatever… it’s to fight off people like you… Us Weasley’s are going to take over the world and you are going to be the first to vanish…” he said glaring at her. He was half tempted to be the first to send a spell her way she would be totally outnumbered but he decided against it. “Yeah, just leave… before you get hurt…” he snarled at her he was by now standing up not even bothering to eat anymore, too upset.

[Isabella Lestrange]

Isabella had only woke up early because she had rolled over too far and fell out of bed. She had landed on the ground with a thud. "Ouch!" She pushed some of her long wavy brown hair out of the way as she stood up and stretched. She frowned slightly when she saw that Demi's bed was empty - Demi never got up this early, no doubt she would be out spending her time winding someone up.

She sighed as she got dressed wondering what argument she would have to break up today. She didn't enjoy seeing her cousin arguing with people, it was starting to get very annoying. She headed down to the great hall walking in behind Daniella. "Oh great..." She muttered when she saw Demi over at the gryffindor table, starting some kind of arguement which would no doubt end up in a duel. "Demi!" She went over to them. "Your going to get yourself expelled!.... its not worth it.." Isabella didn't agree with the things that Demetria did but she was damn good at pretending that she did.

[Demetria Lestrange]

"Oh believe me if I didn't have to be here then I wouldn't be here at this mudblood infested school wasting my time." If her parents hadn't practically forced her to come back this year then she wouldn't be here. Then it clicked what Ron said. "Oh well what a perfect couple you two are.... someone get me a bucket I think I'm going to be sick." She said pulling a face. She pulled out her own wand when Ron pointed his at her. "And for your information I don't plan on getting pregnant..." She wasn't going to give up this body for a baby, and besides she wasn't exactly what you would call 'mother material'. Why was she even saying this.

She was about to hex him when her cousin showed up. "Bella.... Not now...." Getting expelled for hexing a mudblood and a few bloodtraitors - not so bad. It was her mother's reaction she was more concerned about, she was stubborn when it came to Demi's education. "Before I get hurt?..." She laughed, her laugh was almost identical to her mother's. "who the hell do you think you are, you have no idea who your dealing with...."

[Malayna Anderson]

'' Demi Chill, Ignore them.'' Malayna said as she walked behind her best friend glaring at the amazing golden trio rolling her eyes she wasn't like the rest of the slytherin's but she certainly could be just as ruthless if she wanted to be, the sweet innocent blond was just an act because she could duel with the best of them weather people thought she could or not she didn't care. Flipping her curls away from her shoulder she continued walking hoping her two best friends would follow her because she didn't feel like breaking up a fight this early in the morning, it could be seen rather plainly that she was in a mood because the glare was her coldest yet the reason for said mood was irrelevant at this point.

[Harry Potter]

Harry sat down next to Ginny taking her hand into his he picked up his pumpkin juice with his free hand, shook his head at the three slytherin girls who acted like they owned the place. He disliked Demetria but he disliked her cronies even more Malayna included their was just something about her that made his skin crawl same went for Demetria aswell as Isabella mainly because the two were related not to mention they both had the same last name, that name was Lestrange cringing ever so slightly he downed his pumpkin juice trying his best to ignore them while he watched Ron scarf down his food in a frenzy like a hungry pig or an animal that hadn't eaten in days it was disgusting.
