Chapter 17
Adriane was a little suspicious of her four friends, She just knew that they were up to something. She had tried to ask them what was going on but they just gave her a secretive smile and said "you'll see" and changed the subject.
So right now Adriane was walking around the castle when she heard something that made her angry, it was a small cry of pain. This cause Adriane to race around the corner and what she saw made her see red.
There were Two sixth year Ravenclaws ganging up on a girl with dirty blond hair and Pale silvery eyes, She had a cork neckless around her neck and was wearing what looked like radishes for earrings. This was the Ravenclaw that didn't think she had put her name in the goblet, this was the little Ravenclaw who had stood by her even if they didn't know each other.
And she was being bullied and Adriane would not stand for this.
"Hey! leave her alone!" Adriane yelled as she pushed past the three older girls to get to the little blond-haired Raven. The three older girls were shocked and that gave Adriane enough time to see their faces and she felt shocked herself.
The girl on the left had reddish blond hair and grey eyes and light pale skin, she was wearing the typical Ravenclaw uniform She was Marietta Edgecombe.
Then the girl on the right was a surprise It was Cho Chang the Raven claw Prefect! Cho had dark brown hair and black hair. Her skin was darker than Marietta's. She too was wearing the normal Ravenclaw uniform.
Adriane was now standing protectively in front of the younger girl shielding her from the two older girls in front of the both of them. Cho looked at Adriane with a shocked look on her face as she asked: "Potter what are you doing?"
Adriane just glared at her "I'm going to put a stop to you two bulling my friend!" From the small gasp that came from behind her that Adriane wouldn't have heard if it wasn't for their hyper hearing, Adriane could take a guess that no one had called her a friend before...Well, it was either that or no one has stood up for her before, to be honest, Adriane didn't know what would be worst.
The two girls gave identical noses of disbelief. "Your friends with Lovegood?" Adriane gave a nod while still glaring at the two of them "Why? There are people who are more deserving of being your friend." Adriane looked at them like they were dragon dung on her shoes.
"More deserving of being my friend? And am I to assume that you are talking about yourself." Thinking that Adriane was seeing the light and was about to ditch Lovegood the both of them nodded with smirks on their faces.
The smirks fell when Adriane continued "Well, sorry to break it to you two. oh, wait I'm not! But I don't make friends with bullies." The two girls eyes widened. "And why should I not be friends with her! She was one of the only people who believed me about the goblet!"
Adriane then grabbed the younger girls arm and gently led her away from the two. When Adriane felt that they were far enough away she took the girl to an abandoned classroom and sat her on a desk to look her over for injuries.
"Are you okay? I'm sorry that I didn't stop them sooner." The girl on the desk spoke in a quiet voice "No don't be sorry their heads are full of Wrackspurt's." Adriane looked at Her in confusion "Wrackspurt's?" "Yes, Wrackspurt's dreadful creatures really. They're invisible. They float in through your ears and make your brain go fuzzy"
"Really? Is there any way to stop them?" Adriane was serious she may have never heard of one before but that didn't mean that they couldn't be real. Hey, She was mostly Alien and both of her birth parents planets had been destroyed, having there be something out there that could do what the girl on the desk had said they could do was not out of the realm of possibility.
From the shocked look that came on the girls face for a second Adriane figured that not many people thought the way Adriane did. "You want to know? Your not making fun of me are you? Adrian shook her head "No I'm not making fun of you I really do want to know."
The girl light up and went into an explanation that you could get rid of Wrackspurt's by thinking positive thoughts. Adriane was listening intently she never knew when it would come in handy to know this.
After the girl was done telling Adriane all about Wrackspurt's she realized that she didn't know the girl's name. "I'm sorry but I never asked for your name? My name is Harry Potter and you are?"
The girl just stared at her with her Pale silvery eyes for a long moment before. "My name is Luna Lovegood but most people just call me loony. But your name is not Harry Potter not anymore. Oh, don't worry I won't tell anyone that would make the things you do for everyone that much harder."
Adriane just stared at Luna in shock "How?" She couldn't get any more than that out of her mouth but luckily Luna knew what she was asking. "The nargles told me they tell me a lot of things."
Adriane shook her head with a small smile on her face well looks like they were adding another to their group.
The next day Adriane walked into the great hall and instead of sitting down at the Gryffindor table she went and sat at the Ravenclaw on right next too Luna and started talking to her.
Adriane felt someone come up behind her and heard a cough. Turning around she saw that it was Professor McGonagall "May I help you?" Adriane asked in a deadpan like voice "Mr. Potter why are you not sitting at your own table?" Adriane looked at the Gryffindor table before she looked back at the Professor "Professor there is nothing in the rules about not being able to sit at another house's table except that you can't do it during the first and last day of school thanks to the feast's"
Adriane saw the Professor turn slightly red at having Adriane know that part of the school rules before she gave a sniff and turned and walked back to the head table. Shaking her head once again Adriane turned back to luna and started talking to her like nothing had ever happened.
Over at the Gryffindor table, the twins and Neville looked at each other and shook their heads before they got up and walked over to the Ravenclaw table to talk to the apparently newest member of the group.
Fleur from further down the table sat up and walked over to sit with her friends knowing that they didn't like her because of her Veela heritage or that her father was the French, prime minister for the Magical world.
The group of six sat and talked until it was time for them to go to class and decided to continue talking after class.
Adriane couldn't stop smiling her life had been going great and in a crazy twist, Adriane had to thank that stupid Goblet for everything happening to her lately. If her name had never come out of the Goblet than she would have never found her real friends in life.
So really she had the goblet to thank for her life right now alone with her new friends.
Things continued on normal for the most part after that the only thing that was different was that Ron kept looking at them with confusion whenever they saw each other and that Luna was apart of the group.
The days leading up to the Yule Ball were Fun but that was only if she was in the ROR or with the group otherwise Adriane was mobbed by people wanting her to go to the ball with them. Hell, Ginny asked her to go with her to the Ball every time that she found Adriane alone or even when it was just her and Neville.
Adriane just couldn't wait for this all to be over maybe then people would stop asking her out to the Ball!
The night of the Ball Adriane had her Glamor Bracelet on she never really took it off and it was always an uncomfortable weight on her wrist it was always there when she was out in the castle letting her know that until the end of the year she had to pretend to be what she was not. A boy.
Adriane hated that she had to do this but if she didn't want the headmaster to know that she had slipped her leash (Or chains) she had to do it even if all she really wanted to do at this moment in time was jump on top of the Gryffindor table and rip the bracelet off of her wrist and let the whole world know that Harry James Potter was no more and that Adriane Dive Potter was here to stay.
But Adriane thought as she stared at herself in the mirror she tried to flatten her hair without resorting to using her metamorphmagus abilities but in the end, had to use them to get their hair in any kind of order.
Adriane didn't really use her Metamorphagus abilities that much cause there was really no reason to. The only time she really used them was for helping her keep her hair the way she wanted it to be. Most muggles had to use Hair-spray to keep their hair the way that they had styled it and Magicals had to use a type of magic potion for it, Ha! She didn't need any of that stuff and she liked that.
Hair-spray always made her head itchy and she didn't like the feel of her hair being hard. The lotion once again was out as her hair became greasy when she used it for some reason causing her to have to wash it out right away the first tie she had ever used that thing.
But looking in the mirror Adriane was happy that she didn't have to use any of those. Her hair may have still been a bit messy but she liked it to be at least a little messy cause otherwise it fell flat over her head and she liked her hair to have a little flare.
She was wearing a black muggle tux, cause the magical world could go screw themselves a tux was more practical than a robe in Adriane's eyes. She had a Purple tie and flower to go with Fleur's dress and she felt that she was as ready as she would ever be.
Walking out of the room Adriane turned and went to the great hall to wait for Fleur and nodded to the twins and Neville before she looked at Luna. She was beautiful Adriane thought as she looked at the girl she had come to see as a quirky little sister. And wasn't that a shock Adriane seeing someone like a younger sister instead of being the younger sister for a change.
Fred had decided to take Luna to the Ball so she could go to and George and Neville were going by themselves, although the three of them kept giving each other looks, well more like Neville was giving the twins looks before he blushed and looked away and the twins kept sending Neville looks when he wasn't looking.
Adriane wouldn't be surprised if the three of them got together soon, it was like they couldn't see how deeply the three of them like the other. Adriane shook her head and turned to the stares to wait for Fleur when she saw her coming down the stairs and she froze.
Adriane may not be into girls but Fleur was beautiful it just made her glad that she wasn't a real guy cause she didn't think there was anyone out there who was good enough for her big sister at the moment, and if there was she had never met them and they would have to survive the twins, Neville, Luna, and Adriane herself before they could even think of doing anything with their big sister.
Adriane held her arm out for Fleur letting her take it before they walked to the chamber that the two of them and the other champions and their dates would be waiting to open the Ball.
Walking in the room Adriane saw Hermione next to Viktor Krum, it looked like she was going to be the Champions date for the night. She had on Blue dress Robes that looked a bit weird next to Viktor's red Dumstrang uniform that he was wearing for whatever reason.
Next she looked to Cedric and saw that he had gone with Cho as his date and while Adriane thought that he could do much better than a bully it was his choice in who he went with.
When it was time to open the Ball she and Fleur were the centers of attention much to Adriane's changing, she hated being stared at. But she put up with it and ignored how hurt Ginny, who had decided to come with Dean, looked or how shocked Ron, who was sitting all alone looked.
She and Fleur danced for a while before they went and sat down with the others and they started to talk for a bit before Fleur grabbed her and pulled her up telling her that they had a surprise for her in the Room. So following them they entered the room and she let out a gasp of surprise, it looked like the great hall but on a much smaller scale and soft classical music came from around the room.
Adriane spun around to face the others who were standing in the doorway with tears in her eyes as she realized what this was. They had heard most likely from Fleur that she wished that she could go to the ball as herself and set this up for her. Running up she gave each of them a hug before she looked around the room at everything.
She heard a couple giggles from behind her and looking she saw that it was Fleur and Luna who both had a few bags in their hands and shoed Adriane into the other room that was a changing room with a bathroom attached.
Adriane felt tears come to her eyes as she saw the Dress that Fleur had got for her and she took it into the changing room and put it on after taking the Glamor Bracelet off. Coming out The two girls nodded and sat her down to help with her makeup and accessories.
Fleur did a spell that pierced her ears so she could wear her new earrings and Luna helped her put her new neckless on. Adriane put the new bracelet they had got her on herself and this one didn't make her feel like she was forced to hide from the world and that brought tears to her eyes, but these weren't sad tears they were happy ones.
Adriane gave the two of them another hug and they did my makeup for her. After they were done the three of them went out of the room and walked to the guys and then the group spent the time dancing the night away.
The group took lots of pictures for Adriane's Photo album. They danced the night away laughing from how silly the twins made some of the dances and there was much laughter and fun to be had that night.
