Electricity - Draco Malfoy Fanfiction
By: Kayani Neko(Too all readers, I'm terribly sorry, but I cannot find a way to remedy the text. I've tried my best, but I'm just not so talented with computers. I'm only a writer. Oh, and on a side note, please read more then just the first chapter before decided to complain about it. She is supposed to come across as such in the beginning.)
Chapter One
"Janet Williams?" A hawk-nosed woman called out. A girl with a pixie cut and small features stepped up, walking so lightly no one heard a step. She hopped onto the seat with an ease that was surprising for her height. Her vibrant, near electric green eyes shone up at Professor McGonagall, though no one could tell with what emotion until her pouty lips twitched in a small smile.
The hat was placed over her ruby red hair, and it plopped over her ears, resting barely on her nose. If it wasn't for her intense beauty, she would've looked incredibly young in this crowd. "RAVENCLAW!" The hat called out.
Without waiting for directions, she hopped down, a light tap resounding off where her toe contacted the floor. She seemed to float over to the proper table, sitting at the very end. Everyone began to wonder as they clapped and cheered if she chose that spot because she liked it, or because she enjoyed showing off her amazingly fluid sense of motion.
The rest of the sorting finished quickly, seeing as there weren't many X Y or Z's to be sorted. After Professor Dumbledore's speech, dinner appeared and unlike the surprise and wonder on the rest of the first years' faces, Janet simply picked up her first roll and set it on her plate. She picked up a few other things, and ate with elegance and poise.
Everyone asked around about the girl, but no one seemed to know her, or anything about her for the matter. Which was especially rare for someone of her appearance, seeing as gossip was even more popular among the witch and wizard population then it was with Muggles.
Dinner ended, and the first years' followed the Prefects to the dorms. Janet followed behind dutifully, though she seemed rather uninterested by the tour and commentary. After it was finally done with, Janet flew up the stairs, and opened her chest. She pulled out a nightgown. She changed into it, and pulled the covers over her and her curtains surrounding her four-poster bed before anyone even came up.
The other Ravenclaw girls looked at her curiously. It was only another hour before breakfast was out, but this girl showed no sign of awaking. She slept peacefully, even though they had drawn the curtains. She looked as though she hadn't moved the entire night; the covers pulled up to her collarbone, her head perfectly in the middle of her pillow, and even her fingers, they were curled lightly around the top of her blanket.
"Should we wake her…? I mean, she is about to miss breakfast, the most important meal of that day… But…" She made a face, not sure how to word what she was trying to say.
"I know, she seems too perfect, like she'd be a total snob, right?" Her friend giggled a little.
That's when Janet's eyelids fluttered open. She sat up, wobbling. She turned her head, her eyes still half open to look at the two girls. "Good morning…" She mumbled, her voice sounding sleepy, yet soft. "My name's Janet." She smiled a little, peacefully.
The first girl's mouth hung open slightly, so her friend hurriedly replied. "My name's Cho, and this in Angela. You'd better hurry, there's not much time for breakfast left," She warned, not wanting her to go hungry.
"Cho… Angela… Food? Oh no!" She leapt out of bed and rushed to her chest, pulling out her folded uniform and dashing to the bathroom. Within ten minutes, she was showered and ready to eat. "Would you like to come eat with me? Oh, wait, you've probably already eaten, haven't you?" Janet frowned, seeming honestly disappointed.
"I could go for another muffin. Cho and I ate at six, so it's already been a good four hours." Angela smiled friendlily.
Janet smiled a little. "Really? Oh shoot. I slept in again…" She frowned. "I thought going to bed early would at least help the situation."
Cho smiled, that explained her lack of attention last night. She wasn't being rude, she simply was trying to get some sleep. "Well, we'd better hurry."
At the Ravenclaw table, Cho, Janet and Angela sat in a row. There was no one there, so they both sat at the end of the table. Janet grabbed a poppy seed muffin and tore a small piece off. She popped it into her mouth and chewed lightly, enjoying the flavor. She swallowed and sighed. "These have to be the very best muffins I've ever had."
"Ha!" She heard a voice laugh out from across the room. "These muffins are the best you've ever had? You must've been raised in a dumpster!"
Janet turned her head to the side and raised an eyebrow. The boy was platinum blonde and he had the most piercingly icy blue eyes. "Well, you must've been raised in a barnyard. You have the manners to match. And besides," She sighed, seemingly annoyed with this boy. "Trying to annoy me by putting down a muffin is rather pathetic. It shows just how unimaginative you really are." The boy's eyes seemed to catch fire as his lips pulled back to reveal his perfect white teeth. He stormed off.
She turned back to her muffin and popped another torn off piece in her mouth. Cho and Angela stared at her in amazement. "That was amazing!" Angela exclaimed. "I've never seen anyone but Harry Potter and his friends stand up to him!"
Janet swallowed. "I presume I'm supposed to know this Mr. Potter?"
Cho's eyes widened. "Where have you been all these years? Harry Potter is the boy who lived! He defeated He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named!"
"How am I to have any idea who he is if the person he defeated is not to be named?" Janet sighed. "And where I'm from, not even I know." She looked towards the door. "I'm going to take a tour around the school. Hopefully I'll see you later."
