Things I know about Rebekah are: green, purple, red, and blue are her favorite colors, She has a crush on a reporter from the Daily prophet, she loves chocolate cake, Christmas is big in her family, she has a very large family and she says it’s big as the quittich field. Her first friend she made coming here to Hogwarts was Marius, ambidextrous, and she is obsessed with fables fairy tales myths and legends. Her favorite food is pizza.
Now here we are as she pushed me in the seat of Ravenclaw table for dinner she wanted me to eat with her and her friends. Sora been sitting with Marius as of late anyway so it really didn’t matter and I was invited a few people were upset that a Slytherin was sitting at their table but Rebekah’s bestfriend Isobel saw to it that no one questioned the matter further.
“So what else is there about you that I don’t know yet?” Remekah asked as she was dishing my food for me. Oh what good service.
I smiled. “My favorite books are Frankenstein and Dracula.”
She finished my plate and filled her own. I began to eat when she asked, “have any favorite quotes?”
I nodded and I started the monoluge from the book Frankenstein by Mary Shelly: “I expected this reception. All men hate the wretched. How, then, must I be hated, who am miserable beyond all living things! Yet you, my creator, detest and spurn me, thy creature, to whom thou art bound by ties only dissoluble by the annihilation of one of us. You purpose to kill me. How dare you sport thus with life? Do your duty toward me, and I will do mine toward you and the rest of mankind. If you will comply with my conditions, I will leave them and you at peace, but if you refuse I will glut the maw of death, until it be satiated with the blood of your remaining friends. Have I not suffered enough that you seek to increase my misery? Life, although it may only be an accumulation of anguish, is dear to me, and I will defend it. Remember, thou hast made me more powerful than thyself. My height is superior to thine, my joints more supple. But I will not be tempted to set myself in opposition to thee. I am thy creature and I will be even mild and docile to my natural lord and king, if thou wilt also perform thy part, the which thou owest me. Oh, Frankenstein, be not equitable to every other and trample upon me alone, to whom thy justice, and even thy clemency and affection, is most due. Remember that I am thy creature, I ought to by thy Adam, but I am rather the fallen angel whom thou drivest from joy for no misdeed. Everywhere I see bliss from which I alone am irrevocably excluded. The desert mountains and dreary glaciers are my refuge. I have wandered here many days. The caves of ice, which I only do not fear, are a dwelling to me, and the only one which man does not grudge. These bleak skies I hail, for they are kinder to me than your fellow beings. If the multitude of mankind knew of my existence, they would do as you do and arm themselves for my destruction. Shall I not then hate them who abhor me? I will keep no terms with my enemies. I am miserable and they shall share my wretchedness. Yet it is in your power to recompense me, and deliver them from an evil which it only remains for you to make so great that not only you and your family, but thousands of others, shall be swallowed up in the whirlwinds of its rage. Let your compassion be moved and do not disdain me. I was benevolent and good. Misery made me a fiend. Make me happy and I shall again be virtuous. I have wandered through these mountains, I have ranged through their immense recesses, consumed by a burning passion which you alone can gratify. We may not part until you have promised to comply with my request. I am alone and miserable. Man will not associate with me, but one as deformed and horrible as myself would not deny herself to me. My companion must be of the same species and have the same defects. A female. This being you must create.”
“Wah you should be an actor.” Cleb said Isobel’s boyfriend.
I just smiled shyly and to Rebekah “You should read the book.” I then went back to eating. By this point we were all eating and Rebekah without prompt said something about herself.
“I really like the story of Lady Godiva.” She contuned, “The Countess Godiva, who was a great lover of God's mother, longing to free the town of Coventry from the oppression of a heavy toll, often with urgent prayers besought her husband that, from regard to Jesus Christ and his mother, he would free the town from that service and from all other heavy burdens; and when the Earl sharply rebuked her for foolishly asking what was so much to his damage, and always forbade her evermore to speak to him on the subject; and while she, on the other hand, with a woman's pertinacity, never ceased to exasperate her husband on that matter, he at last made her this answer: "Mount your horse and ride naked, before all the people, through the market of this town from one end to the other, and on your return you shall have your request."
On which Godiva replied, "But will you give me permission if I am willing to do it?"
"I will," said he.
Whereupon the Countess, beloved of God, loosed her hair and let down her tresses, which covered the whole of her body like a veil, and then, mounting her horse and attended by two knights, she rode through the marketplace without being seen, except her fair legs, and having completed the journey, she returned with gladness to her astonished husband and obtained of him what she had asked, for Earl Leofric freed the town of Coventry and its inhabitants from the aforesaid service, and confirmed what he had done by a charter.”
“Didn’t Lord Tennyson write a poem about her too?”I asked.
“Yes it’s on a poster in her room” Isobel answered for her.
Rebekah blushed a little. “Yes that is a fact.”
“When you are married you should demonstrate Lady Godiva’s ride.” Soman commented running the momen.
“Dude for one second could you have your mind out of the gutter or keep your comments to yourself.” Isobel hissed.
But the men who over herd that comment and was listening to what we were walking about had secret smirks on their faces.
Anything after that wasn’t naughty and was quite nice. I liked knowing different things about this wonderful girl. She smiled at me and we walked together alone.
“I’m going to say something I observed.” Rebekah said once we were out of ear shot from anyone. I was walking her to her house.
“What’s that?” I asked.
“Your bisexual.”
“How did you come up with that??” and I said a few not so nice things in Japanese.
“Well, I’ve been observing you and it’s not obvious or anything. I just noticed you reacting the same way very lovely girls as some Handsome boys.” She paused for a moment “I even notice you looking at some guy little longer you may have a crush on him but you’re not ready to hear that one yet I’ll let you figure that out on your own.”
“You should be a dective or something.”
“I’ll tell you what I’ve observed.” I turned the tables on her. “You are in love with someone else. Did you get tired of waiting and asked me to the Yule or did you think I wouldn’t say yes?”
“Your angry with me I get it sometimes I’m blunt and yes I do love someone and no, I honestly asked you out to go with someone different at least. I thought it would be fun and to get to know them.”
“I’m glad you asked me. In spite what I learned. I’m happy getting to know you.” and I’m falling for you
We stopped at her house and we said good bye and I whistled a Christmas tune as I went into Slytherin common room. Sora jumped me excited for the Yule ball.
