Chapter 8
Green Grass and Greengrass
Ariana was, once again, at the podium waiting for her students. The clock's hands were moving agonizingly slow, but the last few minutes trickled away, and it was time to start.
"Good evening, class. Today we will be rewriting chapter eight of My Immortal. This chapter has only two problems, namely Hermione's house switch and random, unannounced POV changes.
"Once again, Tara moves a character, Hermione Granger, from Gryffindor to SLytherin, using religion and fashion choices as a base to her argument. As previously discussed, this is unacceptable.
"The next problem is the random POV changes. Near the end, it switches to Draco's POV for a paragraph, with no announcement, and then, a paragraph later, back to Ebony's POV, again with no warning!
"Both of these can be fixed by simply eliminating the from the Rewrite altogether.
"Now on to the next part of the lesson, the A/N. Here is the original:"
Chapter 8.
AN: stop flassing ok! if u do de prep!
"This A/N is very short, and fights a futile battle of getting reviewers to stop flaming the story. As we can assume that no-one is flaming the rewrite, for the first time, the A/N rewrite is completely different from the original, as is the rewritten chapter. Here is the rewritten version:"
Chapter 8
A/N: Thanks to everyone who's reviewed!
"Now we shall move on to the second part of the rewrite, the plot. The original plot points were, one, to have Ebony confront Vampire about the assumed cheating, and two, to have Ebony run, furious, into the Forbidden Forest. We shall change this to Ebony thinking about her tutoring sessions with Daphne Greengrass, having her second date with Draco, and the two fall asleep under the tree.
"Now for the last part of the Rewrite, the chapter. Here is the Original:"

Everyone in the class stared at me and then Draco came into the room even though he was naked and started begging me to take him back.
"Ebony, it's not what you think!" Draco screamed sadly.
My friend B'loody Mary Smith smiled at me understatedly. She flipped her long waste-length gothic black hair and opened her crimson eyes like blood that she was wearing contact lenses on. She had pale white skin that she was wearing white makeup on. Hermione was kidnapped when she was born. Her real parents were vampires and one of them was a witch but Voldemort killed her mother and her father committed suicide because he was depressed about it. She still has nightmares about it and is very haunted and depressed. It also turns out that her last name is Smith and not Granger. (Since she has converted to Satanism she is in Slytherin now not Griffindoor.)
"What is it that you desire, you ridiculous dimwit!" Snape demeaned angrily in his cold voice but I ignored him.
"Vampire, I can't believe you cheated on me with Draco!" I shouted at him.
I don't know why Ebony was so mad at me. I had went out with Vampire (I'm bi and so is Ebony) for a while but then he broke my heart. He dumped me because he like Britney, a stupid preppy ****er. We were just good friends now. He had gone through horrible problems, and now he was gothic. (Haha, like I would hang out with a prep.)
"But I'm not going out with Draco anymore!" said Vampire.
"Yeah ****ing right! **** off, you bastard!" I screamed. I ran out of the room and into the Forbidden Forest where I had lost my virility to Draco and then I started to bust into tears.
"As you can see, the Original is riddled with basic spelling and grammar errors. We shall rewrite this chapter, keeping in mind changes already made and the ones discussed in this lesson. Here is the rewritten version:"
It had been about a week since I had started tutoring Greengrass. She had made a lot of progress in Herbology, I was proud to say. On Monday I had asked Sprout to change partners from Willow to Greengrass, and I think that helped her a lot.
It was now Saturday, and the previous week's downpour had returned with gusto. My date with Draco was tonight, and, unlike the last time, we were just going to take a picnic down to the Black Lake.
It didn't stop me being nervous.
Willow had hounded me relentlessly, but eventually conceded that we were perfectly safe, but I had had to promise to stay in sight of the castle – and Willow.
I was in my dorm, waiting for Willow to hurry up and let me in the bathroom that we shared.
Twenty minutes later, I was trying not to fall over as I went down the stairs in high heels – high heels! Of all the things to wear, what had possessed me to wear high heels!
Draco was waiting for me when I got down.
"Hey, Ebony," he said.
"Hey."
We walked to the kitchens, chattering all the way.
Once at the kitchens, a house elf greeted us.
"What can Mipsy be doing for sir and miss?" she (she? He? Who can tell with those little buggers, anyway?) squeaked.
"A picnic basket for two, please," said Draco.
The house elf soon returned with a picnic basket overflowing with chicken, salads, sandwiches, cakes, butterbeer, and pumpkin juice. How were we going to eat it all?
Draco and I walked down to the Black Lake, searching for a shady spot. We eventually found an old Willow tree, which I took to be a warning. (I won't leave the grounds, Willow!) The tree was fairly close to the Forbidden Forest. I could see from here the dark foliage that was probably obscuring all natural light.
Regardless of whether it was Forbidden, I probably wouldn't go in there anyway. It looked scary.
No, really. It was scary. I went in on a bet in my fifth year, was chased by a werewolf, and almost got expelled.
We sat down, spreading out the blanket that Mipsy had packed for us. I got out the plates and set about dishing up as much of the food as our plates would hold, in an attempt to use up all the food that Mipsy had given us.
"Why'd Mipsy give us so much?' I asked Draco.
"It's just their nature," said Draco, "They worry about humans. Think we're helpless. It's actually kind of funny watching them scurry around, trying to make us stuff fifths in our poor, bloated bellies. We have a house elf, Georgie, and he used to be my nanny."
I was quiet. The Malfoy's had a house elf? Just how rich were they?
We ate our meal, I supplemented with blood (animal, people actually think vampires drink human blood? That's barbaric! I would never! The things people will believe about vampires!).
Then, something happened that, in the years to come, Ebony would wish desperately that she could go back in time and shake herself awake, and take herself and Draco back to the safety of Hogwarts. But the past cannot be changed
Ebony and Draco drifted off to sleep, oblivious.
"This concludes the rewrite of chapter eight," said Ariana.
The students left, and no-one saw her cackle madly, waving her notes around in the dark, singing 'Ding! Dong! The Sue is dead!'
If only the Sue was dead.
