Chapter 2

I collapsed on the grass at the entrance of the castle, my lungs burned and I could hear the pounding of my heart on my ears. I just finished with my morning workout; my training had to continue even though the school year had begun. I continued to lay there until everything had calmed and the sun began to rise, I decided it was time to head back in for a shower before breakfast. I must have let my mind get carried away because when I came to I was on the second landing, near the entrance of the Gryffindor common room, where I basically had a train wreck with Nott.

“Esperanza, what are you doing here?” Nott asked right away, achingly entirely too surprised to see me.

I quickly leaned against a wall, “I could ask you the very same thing Theodore.”

“Ladies first.”

Rolling my eyes, “I was exploring, trying to find the secrets behind Hogwarts.” He seemed to accept the answer, “your answer Nott, I’m waiting.”

“Oh, I’m Nott now? I’m really scared Sendejo.’”

This made me crack a smile, which led to Nott cracking one. “You’re stalling Nott.”

“All right I was with a girl, now come on Sendejo, you reek of sweat and breakfast will be soon.” With that we made our way to the dungeons, our friendship growing with every detailed shared.

            I was currently sitting at the end of the Slytherin table, talking to Nott. I liked him right away but more in a Harry sort of way. “Come on Hope, you can’t tell me you work out every single morning?” Theo looked at me in astonishment from across the table.

“Oh right, because I just explore the castle in shorts and a sports bra because the castle is hot.” I couldn’t help but give him a sarcastic answer.

Turned out Theo and I had a lot in common, we were both nerds though Theo hid it well. Theo knew Spanish, which is where he got my newest nickname translating it from Spanish to its English meaning. This was a nickname I quickly got use too. Theo was witty and kept me on my toes.

“Well the Spanish are more liberal than us, being Europeans, maybe which is usual wardrobe for you?” he quickly challenged.

“Oh it is”, I emphasized with a wink, “But not in this weather Teddy.” I had gotten his nickname from an American President Theodore Roosevelt, who was also known as Teddy.

“Touché,” he answered with a quirk of an eyebrow.

My attention was quickly deterred when a hawk came and gently placed a beautiful bouquet of two dozen roses, all were in perfect bloom except for one in the center of the bouquet. I quickly gave the hawk a piece of toast thanking it for the delivery.

“Ooooo someone has an admirer already,” teased Teddy.

“Shut it, Mr. Puff,” this quickly shutting him up with a murderous glare aimed in my direction. After we had talked for a while, teddy finally confessed he was in a relationship with Susan Bones a half-blooded Hufflepuff in our year. It was one of our shared secrets. “I wonder who they’re from”.

“Hope, look the rose is blooming,” Teddy quickly getting my attention. Surely enough the last rose was slowly blossoming it really was a magical sight. The real surprise though, was a little person inside the rose, or should I say fairly. Because that was exactly what she was. Her skin was a coral pink and her hair a bright teal that was cut close to the sides of her head, but still had enough on top to give her bangs over one her left eye. She was dressed in a white corset dress that was sleeveless, and came down just enough for modesty. She stood about 3 inches tall with beautiful transparent lilac colored wings wing were taller than her and stopped that her ankles. She was completely decked out in accessories, her neck and wrist had more bands than I could count, all different colors, and her arms were covered in glitter tattoos. Her calves were covered in neon blue leg warmers though she, herself, was shoeless.

“Well, hello little one who are you?”, I asked the little person as she flew up to my eye level.

“Hello, you need to name me first,” she said in an irritated voice.

Now that I was able to see her face, she was the spunkiest looking thing I had ever laid eyes on. Her eye brows and eye lashes matched the bright teal of her hair, her eyes were a bright leafy green, her eye shadow matched her sequence, the lid being fuchsia color and the crease being a neon green, her blush matched her eyelids, her lipstick was a very bright purple. All in all there was nothing subtle about this fairy.

“Well how do you like the name Madonna?”, I quickly asked, I wanted her to like her own name.

“Eh, could you give me something with a little more backbone.” Well at least the sarcastic tone is gone, I thought to myself when I heard her reply.

“How about Anath, it comes from a warrior goddess of war and virgin sacrifice?”, I asked waiting hopefully, and I really like this name for her.

“War and sacrifice you say?”, she waited for my confirmation, “Ok, I’m Anath.”

I let out a sigh of breath, I hadn’t realized I had been holding. “Well Anath, I’m Esperanza. Can you tell me who sent you?”, I was trying to see how much this little thing knew.

With a shake of her head, she answered, “Nu uh all I know is that I’m a companion fairy.”

I racked my head for information on companion fairies, summarized the info into a fairy that is bought or given, is a small companion that live for you, and will become a lifelong friend. Fairy will only pass with its companion. “Well Anath, take your fill of food, find a place you’re comfortable and get ready for a boring day of classes.” I said to her with a smile, I could tell by the smirk on her face she would do exactly that. But also that my day may not be that boring.

~~~***D-POV***~~~

            I stopped dead in my tracks as I entered the Great Hall. I couldn’t believe what I was seeing, there was Nott having breakfast with Espi, and in front of her was a bouquet of roses. I cast a side glance towards Blaise, but his face was unreadable as usual. I knew I had to find out what was going on, and find out now! I made my way to her, “Good morning Espi, I hope your first night in the dorms was pleasant.” I then turned and gave Nott a curt not to acknowledge him.

“Eh, it was ok. The mattress is nothing like mine at home, though my morning was rather eventful,” she answered finally giving invitation to ask about the flowers.

“I see that, and who are they from?”, I quickly scanned over the roses, but I couldn’t see a card from their sender.

“No idea, Nott here seems to think it’s from a secret admirer.”, she answered giving a rather nasty glare towards Nott.

“I wonder who it could be?”, I answered her sarcastically as I turned and gave Blaise a directed glare. After all he said he was going to compete with me on this conquest. As soon as I saw the asshole smirk I knew they were from him.

“She just didn’t get roses you know?” said a small musical voice next to my ear.

I quickly turned back to Espi, and the direction of the voice, but it was still only Nott and her. “Did you all hear that?”

“Hear what Malfoy?”, Nott quickly asked me with a confused look on his face.

“Hello I’m over here”, the voice said again.

I quickly jerked my head in the other direction, “That! Don’t you hear that little voice!”.

“No… are you ok, Draco?”, this coming from Espi, with a concerned look on her face.

“You can’t tell me you don’t hear her?”

“Mate, I don’t hear anything either,” this coming from Blaise.

I shook my head, was I losing it. I know after Snape killed the old man last year something had been off, but was I really losing it. It wasn’t until Esperanza started laughing that I realized I was at the butt of a joke, even Nott had cracked a chuckle.

“I’m sorry Malfoy, you were just the perfect victim.”, she managed to explain while still laughing.

“Well what in the bloody hell is going on here!”, I all but yelled.

“Jeeze don’t be such a little bitch,” said that eerie little voice again, “it was just a joke, Dude!”. Now I was able to see the face of the voice, it belonged to a little pink fairy.

“Where in the hell did you come from you little bugger,” I snarled and intended to take a slap at the little wench, but before I could I was blasted back with a spell I must have hit my head against the floor pretty hard, because when I got my vision back Esperanza was standing over me with flowers in one hand a piece of toast in another. While the pink moth perched on her left shoulder.

“If you ever raise a hand against Anath, MY companion fairy, again. You will have more to worry about than a simple charm. So I’d watch it if I were you.” Esperanza threatened me through clenched teeth. For the first time in my life I felt the fear of a woman’s wrath. But yet I was strangely turned on by the power she generated. I stared after her in astonishment as she left me on the floor.

~~~***Z –POV***~~~

            I stood as I watched this little show play out. It was nice to see that Espi had liked her gift, I found it interesting that she had named the fairy such a unique name, I made a mental not to look that up later. I came out of my thought as I saw Nott give Malfoy a hand up before trailing after Esperanza. That friendship I would have to watch closely, I didn’t want him thinking he has a chance with her. I made my way over to Malfoy.

“Well that was very elegant Malfoy,” I couldn’t help but tease.

“Shut it Zabini, this is partly your fault,” he quickly accused as he dusted himself off.

“I didn’t tell you to take a swat at the cheeky little fairy.”

“No, but you knew that there was a fairy.”

I started to notice the attention that was on us two, “Come let us fine a more private place to discuss this.” I quickly pointed my eyes toward the crowd, “Shall we?”

“Lead the way old friend,” he said, emphasizing on ‘old friend’. I swiftly turned not looking back to see if he would follow, I knew he would. I soon walked out of the Great Hall and away from the curious gazes.

I soon found an empty class room not far away from the Great Hall, “Ok, Malfoy so what are you so upset about?” I turned to meet his gaze. He had just finished the closing the door, when I blurted out my question.

“You know what I’m upset about Zabini, I could have had fair warning and not been made a fool in front of Esperanza and the entire school.” Malfoy all but spat at me with his finger pointed at me.

“Damn Malfoy, I gave you warning last night. I’m sorry that you hand fed me my ‘leg up’.” I soon found a desk to sit on, with a chuckle. “Besides you should be used to being embarrassed in front of the school, don’t forget about your past Mudblood.”

“Who? Granger? I wonder how she looks in Azkaban now.” Malfoy said with a smile. “Besides Espi is worse, a new student coming in during the last year, and she’s threatening the king of the school, doesn’t make me look good Blaise.”

Of course it would be his reputation he was more worried about, if I were him I would be worried about his own hide when it came to Espi. “You don’t know who she was, where she came from. If you ask me she was probably the queen of her territory.”, I quickly explained to her.

“True, I will just have to get to know her,” he said as he turned to open the door and walked out. I was almost certain he was on his way to find Esperanza. I sat there for a few more minutes thinking of how this was going to go for Malfoy, I left shaking my head as I laughed.

~~~*** H-POV***~~~

            I was still fuming as I made my way to my first class, after depositing my flowers in the dorms. Anath was safety perched on my shoulder, I had given her the toast I had taken from breakfast, and Nott was still walking besides me. No one had yet to say a word since I had stormed out of the Great Hall.

“So what class do we have first? And what should I call you?”, Anath’s musical voice being the first to break the silence.

“Well first is Transfigurations, and my name is Esperanza Sendejo,” I said turning my head trying to get a look at the little fly, “but you can call me whatever you want.” I watched as she took flight so that she was now perched on Nott’s shoulder.

“What do you call her?”, she asked him.

“A lot of things….”, he slyly told her giving me a playful look.

“Like.”, she continued to push not knowing exactly what was going on.

“Well like Espi,” I gave him the dirtiest look I could manage but he just continued, “Spanish Rose, Sweetheart, Snake, and my favorite and only call her this, Hope.”

I was pretty livid by the end of his little rant, but his last edition made my temper soften.

“Nice way to save your ass Nott,” I shouldn’t help but smirk at him.

He sent me a wink as we waited for her to figure her mind out. “Can I call you Hope too?” she finally asked after a few silent seconds.

I quickly nodded my head in a confirmation with a big smile on my face before tapping my shoulder indicating that I wanted her back over with me.

“Ok, Hope,” she said as she landed on my shoulder.

As I entered the class room I noticed everything was different, and something else wasn’t right. McGonagall was nowhere to be seen, not even her anigamus form. I quickly grabbed a seat at a square table, which had two chairs along the length and one on each of its widths. I sat towards the back not wanting to grab attention as the new kid. I saw as a few Gryffindors filed in, Ron and harry were one of the last to entire, Nott of course sat next to me. I quickly conjured a couch for Anath, and it did not surprise me when the little fly dropped down and began to snooze. What did surprise me, was when Malfoy sat down beside me.

“Espi I’m sorry I tried to hit your fairy. I would have never done it if I had known it was yours.”, Malfoy quickly apologized. It took every ounce of my will to keep my mouth from dropping open. The boys didn’t hide it however, Zabini’s eyes were bug-eyed, Teddy’s mouth was as wide as it could get. Draco Malfoy never apologized.

“Just make sure it doesn’t happen again,” I said dismissing the subject.

“Welcome class to Transfigurations Final Year,” called a young male voice from the back of the classroom. Our heads spun so fast to see our new teacher.

It was Trevor, a young American wizard Snape had recruited. He was still as handsome as I remember him. Tan, brunette, and built. A Texan wizard who was handy in transfiguration and hand-to-hand combat. His southern accent was so exotic and sexy to my ears.

“My name is Mr. Wilkinson, Trevor Wilkinson, I am 22 years old from the Republic of Texas, and I will be teaching you this year while Professor McGonagall attends to the lower years. I hope we can make this year eventful and also educational in an unorthodox sort of way.” He gave that dazzling white smile that tipped more to the right than to the left. It stood bright against his suntanned skin. The girls in the room gave a romantic sigh at the sight of his smile, I was ashamed to be one of them.

“I want to spend the rest of the class getting to know each one of y’all on an individual level. I will call you into my office, and we will start the lesson in our next meeting,” he finished this by calling out Luna Lovegood’s name and walked to his door holding the door open for Luna. The class had yet to make a sound, we watched as our classmate walked into the room, before we erupted in a roar of questions.

My table stayed quit for the most part, we were busy in our own heads to ask them out loud. Nott was finally the one to break the silence, “Why does this yank want to see us alone?”

“Who knows Teddy, maybe he’s trying to suck our souls,” I couldn’t help but answer with a little friendly sarcasm. I could tell that Nott’s’ nickname had gotten both Malfoy and Zabini’s attention.

~~~***D-POV***~~~

Teddy? Since when the fuck is Nott “Teddy” I had to do something about this.

“Pansy Parkinson”, the voice rang out. Looney had been let out and was now leaving the classroom, I watched as pug-face walked into the room. We were all wondering what was going on behind that door. Why did this new professor want to talk to us individually? I continued to stare at the door till after it had closed, I knew I was going to have to keep an eye on Professor Wilkinson. When my attention went back to our table Zabini and Nott were trying to convince Espi to got to Hog Hedge with us this weekend.

“Come on Hope, come with is. You’ll have fun I promise”, Nott all but begged. Why the fuck was Nott calling Espi ‘Hope’. Zabini must have thought the same thing, because I saw an eyebrow quirk at Espi’s new nickname.

“Teddy I tell you I can’t. My Saturdays are already filled, maybe next time,” Espi kindly rejected him.

Was Nott also after Esperanza? The question made me focus on the wizard in question.

~~~***Z –POV***~~~

I could tell that Draco was now considering Nott as competition. I on the other hand do not sense a sexual attraction between Nott and Espi, it seemed more like an old friendship. I was quietly thinking how I can make Malfoy’s jealously work in my favor. I looked at Anath, asleep on a small couch. She was a spunky little think and quit fearless too. I had made the right choice.

“Draco Malfoy,” Professor Wilkinson’s voice rang out.

I saw the quizzical look in Draco’s eyes, he was going to get to know our professor not the other way around. This year was going to be extremely interesting after all. Nott and Espi were currently lost in their own books, neither having to do with our class. Espi was lost in a book, labeled on the spine, called “Oscuros Secretos.” I would have to look up the meaning later. it was a good ten minutes before Ronald Weasley was called into the room, and Draco returned to the table for his belongings.

“See you for lunch Espi?” Draco asked giving her a charming half-smile.

“Sure Draco, I’ll see you there,” she said nonchalantly, not even looking up from her book,

Malfoy’s smile faltered slightly with her response but took it anyways, walking away and out the door.

~~~*** H-POV***~~~

I heard Malfoy’s question, but all I could do was stare at my book while I tried my hardest not to look at my best friend walk into that room. All I wanted was the comfort of my friends. I quickly dismiss the thought and dove back into my book.

When I finally came out there were only five student left; Harry, Neville, Nott, Zabini and I. “Esperanza Sendejo” finally realizing my name was being called. I stood up and gave one last look to my fellow Slytherins and headed into the unknown. The office hadn’t changed much just an added desk on the opposite side of where McGonagall’s stood. I took a seat in front of his desk, and Wilkinson leaned against the front of the desk putting his weight mostly on his arms.

“Well Ms. Sendejo,” Wilkinson said grabbing a file from his right side, flipping through it he continued, “Or should I say Hermione Granger?”.
