CHAPTER VII Ceiling Like the Night Sky
1003 Words
Lyanna, Chloe and Leah had their room on 2nd floor. The window view was magnificent, you could see the lake and the schools garden which was filled with colorful flowers and a silver fountain in the middle, from the right corner you could also see the entrance and the 13 busses were still there.
"So is it true, that you're...a...werewolf?"-Leah asked and Lyanna could sense the fear in her.
Chloe turned to Lyanna too and both her and Leah were waiting for Lyanna to answer.
"What if I am?"-Lyanna responded cold.
"We would just want to know, Lyanna! It's not a bad thing, one of my cousins is a werewolf too. Although he was bitten."-said Chloe calmly.
"I am"-Lyanna didn't want to look embarrassed but she was and she hated it, she didn't choose to be a werewolf, she didn't even want to be.
"How did it happen?"-Leah asked with a pity voice.
"I was born a werewolf."- Lyanna said looking through the window again and with a sad look on her face.
"How many times have you turned into a werewolf?"
"Leah! Stop with the questions! You're making her uncomfortable!"-Chloe interfered.
"Twice"-Lyanna said.
Leah and Chloe turned to Lyanna confused.
"I've turned into a werewolf two times. Does everyone know?"
"I don't think so; I knew because I saw the mark on your neck." Leah said getting closer to Lyanna.
Lyanna lightly touched the mark and said: "Maybe it is better if I hide it" but it seemed as if she was talking to herself.
"We should go to the Great Hall! It would be bad if we would be the last ones in"-Chloe said calmly.
When they went in the Great Hall they saw that the students were still coming. They sat next to Harry and started to look around. Walls covered with beautiful painting from famous artists like: Matt Ise, Leo Vida, Rida Carlo, Michael Gelo. Three big tables were floating in the air: one blue for Eagles, one red for Tigers and one white for teachers, the floor seemed as it was just polished and when the girls looked up they saw a magnificent ceiling like the night sky and none of them could get their eyes of it. Harry noticed it and said:
"It shows the weather outside."
The three girls turned to look at him and Leah asked:
"How do you know?"
"A girl from 3rd or 4th year told me."-he explained casually.
"Aren't all these windows enough to see the weather?"-Lyanna asked.
"I'm Harry by the way."
"I'm Chloe."
"And I'm Leah."
While they were introducing themselves Lyanna looked around for Ethan. Harry saw that and said:
"If you're looking for your brother, don't bother. He came looking for you a few moments before you arrived and then he left."
"Who is your brother?"-Leah asked
"You probably don't know."-Lyanna answered, she was getting tired of Leah asking about everything but she decided not to say anything.
"Was he in the Common Room."-she asked again.
"No."-Lyanna said colder than when she was asked if she was a werewolf.
"Oh...He's in Eagles."
Angelica was walking by at the time and whispered to them:
"You know someone from the Eagles?"
"Yes, my brother, why?"-Lyanna responded and now she was getting really, really tired of everyone asking her about the wolf and her brother.
"Come with me. All of you."
They followed Angelica out of the Great Hall and she took out her keypencil pushed a button and turned right to climb the stairs. Leah finally asked what they were all thinking:
"Where are we going?"
"You'll see."
At the top of the stairs on their left they entered a small room and two boys were waiting for them.
"Tom, James these are Lyanna, Leah, Chloe and Harry."
"Hi!"
"Hi!"
Angelica said something to Tom and James. Unfortunately, Lyanna remembered she could hear them only when the finished and she just heard Tom say: "I see" and James: "We should do something about it".
"Where are we? And what is this about?"-Harry asked.
"This is a room right above the ceiling, it wasn't used for years and so we asked to take it. As for your second question we need to discuss something about "your friend" in the Eagles"-James said.
Lyanna remembered those faces, they were next to Angelica on the common.
"That "friend" is my brother and his name is Ethan."-she said furiously.
"You remember what we told you in the common room about Eagles, right? This year their head student is Jake, he comes from the royal family and thinks he has the right to do whatever he wants. He will use your friend Ethan, to get in our common room. So you shouldn't trust him"-Angelica said.
"Don't trust Ethan. Alright duly noted. Can we go now? I'm starving"-Lyanna said madly.
Angelica, Tom and James saw that they couldn't truly convince them now so they let them go.
Down the stairs Leah asked:
"Do you think that is why he came looking for you in the Great Hall?"
"I guess we'll find out."-answered Lyanna.
"What?" asked Harry shocked, but before he could get an answer they heard a boy's noise behind them say: "Well, well, well what do we have here. A wolfgirl, a loverboy and... two girls!"
They turned around to see who was talking and saw Ethan with to other boys and a girl from Tigers.
"Angelica was right"-Lyanna thought.
"Bad timing Ethan. I'm hungry!"-Lyanna said getting really close to him "And I hope you haven't forgotten what I'm able to do if I don't eat when I want to."
"Uuuu, bite me...wolfgirl"-one of the boys next to Ethan, Nik said taking a step forward as a threatening move.
"Uuuu"-said the other boy next to Ethan.
"What are you going to do now wolfgirl, cry to your mommy? Oh, wait! Sorry."-the girl next to Ethan said and when she was finished she moved her short curly hair behind.
"Just for your information it's she-wolf not wolfgirl. And get out of my sight!" said Lyanna then she left furiously with her friends behind her.
