Chapter 28 2/2

Natalia

All night people seemed to be watching me warily, like I'm a ticking time bomb. Sirius pretty much jumped out of his chair once the ceremony ended which dissolved me into a fit of giggles. When Aurora asks me why is was laughing looking genuinely puzzled I told her he was one of my best friends and doesn't recognise me in my different look which then had me and her following him around half the night scaring him shitless to the point he was hiding with Regulus, Barty, and Evan. Every time I came towards Sirius, Regulus would smirk and move out of the way causing Sirius to yelp and rush somewhere else. Other than that Aurora hung around the drinks table laughing and getting to know each other. I soon learned that Cedric took after his Aunt a lot, he was smart like her, soft and kind, just not as wary of others as she is. 

I'm in the middle of telling Aurora about one of my pranks against Umbridge after telling her other stories about Hogwarts since she's moving from Beauxbatons to Hogwarts when Mulciber, Avery, Nott, and Amycus come over to us.

"What is a lovely pureblood girl like you doing hanging out with a filthy blood traitor?" Avery asks a snide expression on his face. I tilt my head to the side,

"How do you know I'm not a 'blood traitor'?" I ask my tone neutral while Aurora is silently fuming,

"A... respectable-looking girl like yourself must be a pureblood if I ever saw one," Amycus says his eyes raking up and down my body. It takes everything in me not to gag and out of the corners of our eyes Aurora and I make eye contact,

"My eyes are up here Carrow," I state cooly and the black family (Orion, Walburga, Bellatrix, Druella, Cynus, Sirius, Regulus plus Evan and Barty look over noticing the interaction)

"I know but the rest of you is so much more interesting," He says in an arrogant tone a sadistic smile making an appearance on his face,

"And what? Is that what all of you think?" I ask in a level tone all nodding minus Theodore Nott who is looking at me like he is trying to place me. I look them all up and down a disgusted look falling on my face, "Shame I can't say the same thing out you," Regulus, Barty, Evan, and Sirius all snort, three under the sharp gaze of Walburga hiding their faces by taking a drink of their drinks while Sirius discreetly flips off his mother. A small gasp comes from Aurora beside me and I turn to look at her and see her eyes on my hair. A smirk overcomes my face knowing my hair is slowly fading back to red like always when I've tried to dye it.

The groups who are watching our interaction gasp and point out my hair that is slowly but surely turning their least favourite colour, I give Sirius my signator smirk and a look of shock and realisation flicks across his face. My gaze goes to Reggie and his group, a similar look crosses their faces but a lot more discreet. "Recognise me yet?" I ask in a smug tone as the more my hair turns red the more the realisation sinks in,

"But...how!" Avery yells fuming before reaching forward and ripping the necklace off my neck, "This was Morgana Slytherin's!" He yells looking at me disgusted that I even wore it. A dark laugh escapes my lips and I take a step forward,

"That she gave Rosaline as a wedding gift when she got married to Godric," I hiss snatching back the necklace,

"Oh, what and you know this how? As if a filthy blood traitor like you knows anything about Morgan or Salazar," Mulciber scoffs snarling at me,

"I know a lot considering he has a room in my house," I retort glaring at him,

"As if he would have associated himself with the likes of you," Avery snarls butting in, I can't help the ironic laugh that escapes my mouth finding it amusing that he still does associate himself with the likes of mem kind of if you count the afterlife. 

"You should fear us," Amyus says looking me up and down like he's planning my downfall once we get back to school for 6th year,

"How can I fear someone like you?"

"You Bitc-" Amyus starts and I hear heels clacking behind me before they come to a stop and a soft hand lightly holds my shoulder,

"Carrow...I would appreciate it if you treat my personal guest with respect," Narcissa's neutral tone only adding to the tension of the situation,

"She's a Gyffindo-" Avery starts to protest when Lucius voice cuts in,

"And I will not tolerate disrespect to my wife," A smug smirk flickers up and down on my face as I try to suppress it relishing in the looks on their faces. I turn my back to them and smile at the newlywed couple,

"Thank you for the lovely evening but I think I'll be off," I tell them politely as I walk to the exit passing the Black family most of which are snarling at me in disgust, "See you at school Sirius, and Mr Black...here's some compensation for my last interaction with your wife," I say handing him a small sack of galleons. Turning on my heel I walk out of the hall my dress dragging behind me just as my hair turns back to its original red.
