A Slytherin and a.... RAVENCLAW?! PV Paige Clo

Natalie caught up to Chase and pushed her lightly. ¨Last one to the castle is a troll!!¨ She pulled away, the entrance was close, giving Natalie a clear shot at winning. She moved faster trying to get far enough ahead that she could dive for the castle. Looking over her shoulder and smiling while laughing. ¨KEEP UP!¨ She yelled over the wind, It started snowing, the cold snow flakes hit Natalie's face as she ran, her shoes hitting the solid ground, each step sending small shocks up her ankles, her breathing was becoming uneven as she ran.

I was breathing hard, my breathing becoming laboured with each step, I felt like my heart was going to explode any minute, I tripped hard on a tree root and stumbled, I heard a pop, not loud, but enough to know that something was wrong, I cried out as I rolled into some thorns. I dragged myself out of them and sat up looking at my knees and legs, one hurt like crazy. I tried to get one of my feet under my, but my right leg objected painfully, I cried out again in pain. I noticed swelling of my knee and ankle through tears.

Paige's eyes widened with horror as she saw Natalie trip and fall into thorns, crying. The snow was beginning to fall, and Natalie didn't have any winter clothing. Paige rushed over. "Natalie! Are you okay?" But she saw Natalie fading in and out. Paige's experience from watching her mom as a nurse came in. Paige took off her coat and wrapped it around Natalie. She then examined her ankle. It looked broken. "It's okay Natalie. Doctor Chase is going to help you." Shivering in the cold, she took off her scarf and placed it around Natalie's ankle. She helped her get up, then placed Natalies arm around her neck, making way for the Hospital wing. Now completely freezing, and being as fragile as she was, Paige's arms and legs were burning. A passing Gryfndor saw and helped carry Natalie to the hospital wing. With a pang, Paige realized it was her fault. If only I hadn't started it. Paige felt terrible and instead of following the boy, she ran away and began baking. It's how she calmed herself.

Paige walks to the kitchens and knocks. A house elf opens the door. Paige was startled. She had never seen one. "Er... hi. Um I'm Paige. Could you make these for me? And send them to me when you are done?" The elf took Paige's resipe and bowed. Paige smiled. "Thanks."

I was trying to figure out how in the world I tripped, and why Paige ran off like that,I worried for her, I took my quill and parchment writing a Its Not Your Fault letter to Paige. A black and white owl landed beside me.

I gave the letter to the pretty owl, stroking it slightly, I whispered ¨Take this to Paige Chase please?¨ The owl hooted and flew off, I smiled as she did,I waited patiently for the nurse to work her magic, it was going to be a while in the hospital wing. I prayed the owl would reach Chase ok, I didn't want her to feel so bad for a broken leg that was clearly my doing, it would only bring her down, and I didn´t want that to happen to her. I knew how it felt to be brought down by a simple accident. But this wasn't Chases fault. So it was only natural I tell her not to feel bad.

Paige was waiting when an elegant owl flew in. "aw if it isn't an old friend." Paige spends most of her time with the owls in the owlery, and she has her way with them. She untied a letter from Natalie. Dear Paige, Its not your fault I fell, I caught the look on your face, i'm sorry you had to see me be a clutz, it is honestly not your fault! Sincerely, Your Friend Natalie Mock
friend? Paige had made friends this week in such weird ways.
1. by falling from a tree on top of a boy
2. slamming into a girl in the hall
3. Meeting a girl in the abandoned bathroom
and now 4. Racing a girl and the girl falling and hurting her ankle.
Paige smiled. She snuggled up in her chair, sketching the house elf she saw. Then she decided to make a card for Natalie. There was nothing she could do for now.

Dear Natalie,
I hope you are well. It's okay, Everyone is a clutz. I am glad that it wasn't my fault, but still. I am sorry. I will be visiting you later on. I will bring you a gift. I hope you like it.

Just then, a house elf came in with the cookies. Paige smiled. "Thank you" She placed them on the table before signing the card.
A while later she came in the hospital wing holder freshly baked warm cookies for Natalie.

I smiled when I saw Chase. She seems ok, and the cookies smelled delicious! ¨Hiya! You came to visit!¨ My smile was warm and welcome. ¨What kind of cookies are they?¨ I was clearly ok, my leg was wrapped and people from my house had left notes, cards, and candy by my bed. One of the cards covers said Stupid Ravenclaws on it. It was humorous to her, probably not for Paige though, so I kicked the card down using my other foot. ¨Sorry about the card,Chase, my house finds that sort of thing funny, especially when its Ravenclaw or Gryffindor...¨ My apologizing was probably unnecessary. But that's how I am. I studied Paige for a reaction, possibly expecting a slap in the face. ¨I expect you got my letter, Paige? The owl I sent is kinda slow, shes the schools owl until I can afford one.¨ I said in a light tone. I smiled happily and reached out for a hug from her. Realizing I wasn't getting one I laughed nervously. I layed there feeling bad about the card my house mates sent me. It was a bit funny to me, but not to Chase. In my head I had apologized multiple times.

¨Hiya! You came to visit!" Natalie's smile was warm. ¨What kind of cookies are they?¨ Paige smiled. "They are thumbprint cookies. My personal favorite." She sat down on a chair by her bed.



The hospital wing was big and white. It had beds with curtains around them. There was one other student besides Natalie there. The student was sleeping. Being here reminded Paige of when she went to the doctor's office with her mom. Her mom was the doctor. Paige hoped to be in the medical field as well.


There were many cards on Natalie's bed, one of which said Stupid Ravenclaws! Paige shook her head. "tsk, tsk." Natalie smiled and kicked the card with her good foot. ¨Sorry about the card, Chase, my house finds that sort of thing funny, especially when its Ravenclaw or Gryffindor...¨ Paige shrugged. "it's okay." She held out the tray of cookies for Natalie. Natalie took one as she talked. ¨I expect you got my letter, Paige? Vera is kinda slow, shes a school owl until I can afford one.¨ Paige nodded. "so that's her name? I call her my little friend. I spend time in the owlery and make friends with the owls. Vera is so cool. Anyway, how's the leg?"

Paige hoped that her friend was not in pain. She would feel bad. Even though she was told it wasn't her fault, Paige doubted it. Very much. She looked at all the candy at the end of the bed. "Woah." That was sure to haunt Natalie later on. Sugar rushes were the worst. You felt great for a while, then you feel so tired, and sleepy, and lazy. Ugh.

I smiled and finished the cookie, ¨That was amazing!¨I said wiping my face with my sleeve. ¨That was honestly one of the best cookies I have ever had! You HAVE to give me that recipe! My mom would really enjoy those!¨ I smiled and giggled. I would repay her for the cookies, I didn't know how yet, but I would. ¨So,I am guessing that they are made from scratch?¨ I asked, they could not have been anything else but made from scratch! To taste that yummy no way it was from a box! I played with my yellow ribbon after untying it from my hair, my long brown hair fell around my shoulders. I remembered how my twin had said that I would never make friends in Slytherin, that I had to be a baddie to make it in the Slytherin world. ´Lies...´ I decided, she was wrong. I seem to be making it ok so far, even though according to stereotypes I wasn't even supposed to be friends with a Ravenclaw. Its just not the ¨Code¨. Eh whatever. Not like I cared. I am a big softie, nothing I could do about it anyways. Just a stupid stereotype.

Natalie's eyes went huge as she started talking about how good the cookies are. ¨That was honestly one of the best cookies I have ever had! You HAVE to give me that recipe! My mom would really enjoy those!¨
Paige shrugged. "oh-well, I guess they ARE good..." Paige reached into her pocket and pulled out a folded piece of parchment. It was new, for Paige had just created the recipe. "it might not work for your mom, I always have a secret recipe that no one gets."

She handed the parchment to Natalie. "It's sorrow. Sounds cheesy, but it works. I can't explain how to add it. I just do." She sat back. "I hope the cookies still taste fine for your mom, but I can always make you guys more." She gestured to the tray she brought. "It's all yours." Paige had not been that much hungry lately anyway. She didn't know that she was sick. She wasn't contagious. She just thought that maybe she ate too much during her first days at Hogwarts. She snapped back to attention with a smile on her face. She didn't want people to worry about her.

Her friends always find out though. I wonder how fast Natalie will find out. Harmony found out the instant it started happening. Because, you know, she's Harmony. Paige remembered something. "The house elves made them, but it's my recipe. I wish I could bake here!"

¨My mom only bakes when she is super upset about something. But usually I stay out of it.¨ I was remembering how before I had left my parents were fighting about how mom raised me and Natalia. I felt a few tears slip down my face, quickly I wiped my face. I hated people seeing me cry. It made me feel weak. Before the fighting, her father had slapped me saying, ¨Why cant you be more like your sister?¨ I didn't want to be like Natalia, the yellow ribbon was given to me before Natalia became mean. I ripped the ribbon off my wrist and let it fall to the floor. Hot tears slid down my face as I drew my good knee to my chest crying. I didn't say anything, I knew Natalia cried herself to sleep at night, she was in the bed next to me. She had penned up anger and sorrow like I do. I got lost in thought. I snapped out of it and looked at Chase. Wiping my eyes I smiled trying to play it off as if it were nothing. ¨S-Sorry! I'm just so thankful for the cookies you've provided for me.¨ Blatant. Lie.
