face.
“Very good! Twenty points to Slytherin, seeing that you are a new student.” Slughorn beamed and carried on instructing the students on how to make the potion. Finally, he left the students to work in pairs and left the dungeon.
Just then, Tom Riddle leaned in and whispered to Luna, “How did you know of the Britain’s magical syllabus?”
Thinking hard, Luna masked her fear and promptly replied, “Uncle Dumbledore gave me a quick review and I read the textbooks through the night in preparation. I would not want to miss anything by being stupid.”
Chuckling, her partner nodded in acceptance of her explanation before concentrating on the potion. Luna had been rather passionate in all subjects and because she had not many friends back in the future, she had spend a lot of time carrying out experiments and potion calculations on her own, determined on knowing how to achieve the “rare yet most desirable effects” stated in textbooks. Also, from Hermione and Harry’s memories, she had learnt lots and it is definitely helping her now.
When they were half-way through the potions, everything was looking good. Just when Tom Riddle was about to cut the valerian roots in attempt to get the juices, Luna suggested that they should try crushing the valerian roots with the flat side of a silver knife to create more juice.
“Oh, why is that so?” Tom Riddle asked, trying hard to mask the sudden glint that appeared in his eyes. However, to Luna’s surprise, he did not wait for her answer and followed her instruction. Then, he proceeded to stir the concoction clockwise once every seventh counter-clockwise stir, which was what Luna was about to do, and what Harry Potter had done, following Severus’s potions textbook.
“How was that, Chantelle?” Tom asked as the potion turned the palest lilac, which was very rare, according to Slughorn.
“That was, incredible! How did you know that I was –” Luna was cut off by Tom again.
“Because I also spend my extra time doing potions calculations.” He smirked and turned around just as professor Slughorn entered the room after fifty minutes sharp.
As he walked around to inspect the potions, he stopped abruptly at their table, gasping at the perfect result.
“My my! Full marks again, Tom? And you did this all by yourself?”
Luna had expected Tom to claim all the results for himself but he quickly clarified, “No Professor, it turned out that Miss Dumbledore equal to my standard in potions making. She definitely deserves full-marks too.”
Beaming, Professor Slughorn beamed at them before dismissing the class.
The rest of the day (which consists of Charms, Herbology and Muggle Studies) passed without many incidents, though Luna was very shocked when she found Tom Riddle as her partner in all three lessons. As it turned out, Tom and she had every single lesson, together.
So much for trying to keep myself alive...
By the end of the day, everyone in school had learnt that Dumbledore’s niece, like her uncle, is definitely no fooling around. She is remarkable in all her subjects and has a smart mouth. Like a Slytherin.
As time went by, Luna got closer with Cygnus, Alphard and Abraxas, much to many people’s surprise and many girls’ disappointment, as the three wizards were among the best candidate for girls’ admiration.
However, it was amazing how Chantelle Dumbledore could be in the eyes of affection of the Silver Trio (Abraxas, the Twins are as one, Tom Riddle) and fit into the Slytherin so easily.
Secretly, many boys in the school are fantasying about Chantelle Dumbledore. She is definitely too good to be true. She is nowhere like the other sluts in the school. Instead, she is smart, witty, dreamy, and nice and lastly, Dumbledore’s niece. No doubt that she would be a remarkable witch in the future. But that would have to see.
That day, during dinner, Abraxas tried to turn on his charms on the unique girl. She was the one who has yet to swoon at the sight of him nor any other handsome boys, Tom Riddle and the Black twins included, and that makes her special and beyond the other girls.
“Chantelle, what do you say that we put ‘U’ and ‘I’ together?”
Many Slytherins around them looked on in interest; it is not often that they had seen Abraxas turn on his charms. And it is always exciting to watch.
Though she was slightly shocked that anyone would be flirting with her, Luna was witty in her snide reply, “Actually, I would like to put ‘N’ and ‘I’ together, and they are closer to each other, aren’t they?”
Everyone was busy trying to figure out what she means when Tom started chuckling at the witch intelligence.
She is one of a kind, this girl.
“She means that she is not interested, Abraxas.” He pointed out.
Everyone roared in laughter as they realized that in Hogwarts History, Chantelle Dumbledore has been the first girl to ever reject Abraxas. And it was that he asked a lot of girls out in the first place, since many girls just throw themselves at him willingly.
So that is how Luna Lovegood, or Chantelle Dumbledore’s first day was spent at Hogwarts, 1944, April 21st.
Whispers about her can be heard all around the castle.
“That girl is something, I swear”
So how was that? Please review! :D
