A New Beginning
Chapter 1 The New Student
"Catherine." Called Headmistress Lajoie.
Catherine had been hoping to pass by the headmistress without being noticed.
"Come here." She bellowed, pointing her hand to the ground where apparently Catherine was supposed to stand.
She moved towards the Headmistress; her out of uniformed black pants swayed around her legs as she walked. "Whatever it is, I had nothing to do with it." Catherine said.
The headmistress raised her eye brow. "No, no, it's nothing like that, we have a new student, and I was hoping you would show him around." She smiled adding, "That is if your not too busy."
That last sentence was aimed at her and her friend's mischievous ways. They were always getting themselves involved in un-acceptable school pranks. "Busy? Me? Never!" She answered back.
"Good, but before I present the student to you I suggest you tidy yourself up, you are representing this school."
"Right." She began brushing her long dark hair with her fingers, and then pulled out a mirror from her back pocket. She fixed up her black eyeliner, and the dark purple which covered the top of her brown-green eyes. "There."She said as she finished.
"I was referring to your lack of proper uniform." The proper dress code at the school was a white top and a navy blue vest over it. The boys wore navy blue pants, and the girls wore kilt. Catherine and the headmistress had gotten very well acquainted with each other because of her lack of listening to the rules. The headmistress had begun to accept the fact that Catherine would never be seen in a kilt, so she would ignore her pants. On the other hand her lack of vest which she should have been wearing, would not be excused.
"Right, about that, my vest its in my bag, which is with Kaitlyn. Bad idea though leaving it with her..last time I left something with her it go burned...but I should have known, because Kaitlyn can get a little fire happy sometimes."
"Catherine." Headmistress Lajoie interrupted raising her voice a little. "It doesn't matter who you left it with, just find it and put it on."
"Yes Headmistress." She answered, giving her a sly smile. She always knew how to crack her. Catherine turned to leave, uninterested in staying any longer.
"Where are you going?"
"To find my vest, as you requested."Cat said confused at her question.
"Well that will have to wait then, you have to escort the new student to classes." Lajoie knew that if Cat were to leave she would not see her again.
"But, I'm not in proper uniform!"
"That's never stopped you before." Lajoie answered with her eye brow raised. "Now wait here, I'll go get him."
She left back into her office, and came back with a tall blond haired boy, who was rather cute.
"Catherine Huntington may I introduce Drake Moon. He is an Exchange student from England's Hogwarts school of Witch Craft and Wizardry. He will be in your year, so show him around, and to his classes." The headmistress smiled sweetly to the boy.
"Hello." He said nodding his head. The boy's English accent showed through as he spoke.
"Love the accent." She smiled deviously. "Now follow me."
She started to walk away when she heard the Headmistress say "Go..Follow." She heard him run up to her. "Try to keep up." She said rather cocky. "Oh and by the way I'd prefer if you used my nick name Cat, rather than my full name."
They walked down the hall, students passed on either side of them. "What classes do you have?" Cat said trying to break the silence.
He pulled out a folded paper from his back pocket, unfolded it and read, "Potions with professor Weiser, Defense Against the Dark Arts with Professor Vanmeir."
"You can get away with a lot in his class, just make sure you do your work." Cat advised for Vanmeir's class.
"Lunch, then after, I have divination with Professor Fairgreve, and finally transfiguration with Professor Alipson."
"Fairgreive's class can get pretty dull, her voice makes me want to sleep, and last class is always fun."
Cat stopped walking when she realized something. "Let me see that." she referred to his time table.
He handed it over. Cat read over and re-read over his time table. "I don't believe it!" She shouted.
"What." Drake looked over to the time table to see if the answer was there.
"She put you in all my classes! And yet she completely split up the mauradettes! How dare she! To think that she put you in all my classes to spy on me! So now she's getting back at me." Cat huffed.
"Marau..." Drake said trying to figure out what it was.
"Mauradettes." Cat said slowly. "That's what me and my friends are called."
"Why."
"...maybe because we like to cause mischief and chaos around the school. So we adopted the name." Cat smiled remembering good times.
Drake gave her this funny confused look. Cat giggled. "You don't really have to understand what it is."
