Disclaimer: I don't own any of the characters in Harry Potter. I do own Kimi though.

A/N: This Prologue is used, for the most part, to describe Kimi

I walk down the corridors toward the courtyard, where I would do today's potions homework. It would be empty, I knew. Most people don't see that the courtyard is so much more beautiful than that lake they all fascinate over. It's probably the giant squid that fascinates them. I smirk at the thought of one unfortunate swimmer getting grabbed by the squid itself.

My waist-length, black hair billows out behind me, blending with my green-and-black robes. Being in Slytherin house, I walk with a certain grace and charm that is hard to describe. It just happens, if you get my meaning. Like it's a part of my being.

I see Draco in one of the halls on my way there, talking with those goons he calls friends, Crabbe and Goyle. We all know better though, right? He sees me, and I flash him one of the dazzling smiles I pride myself on, my amber eyes dancing in anticipation, wondering if he would actually smile back this time. No, not yet. Just another smirk. Gah.

He'll admit he loves me sometime soon though. I can feel it. I mean, I don't give that smile to anyone else! Nor do I give it to him for nothing. And I make sure he knows it.

The arrogant little spoiled brat, I thought fondly, and started to walk up to him gracefully.

"Hey Draco!" I called, my beautiful smile now more smirk than smile.

"Hey Kimi," he replied, then sighed, "What do you want?"

My expression turned to one of false shock, and I said playfully, "Why, that's no way to treat a fellow Slytherin and admirer!"

Draco just smirked, "Oh, it's not? Make yourself worthy of my presence before you approach me next time then, maybe I'll think more of you."

I sigh, and glare at him. "Fine then, be that way. I will. Next time you see me, it will be worth your time."

I turn on my heel stubbornly (I wasn't going to be like Pansy, and beg for his attention. No, I'm much above that) and continue on my way to the courtyard, all the while thinking of ways to impress Draco. But of course, I found nothing, as I always had, and so I turned my thoughts to a more immediate matter. My potions essay. It would be a lot easier than thinking of something to woo Draco with, and I started thinking of possible starts. I still hadn't thought of one worthy of writing when I reached the empty courtyard. I told you it would be. Everyone else think it better to go out by the lake, or in the fields. Silly people. They don't have the eyes to see the undeniable beauty that is the courtyard. There was a fountain laced within the carpet of lush green grass, and runes were carved into the surface.

I pull my long hair into a loose bun, so it wouldn't get in the way of my essay, and find a dry spot of grass to sit in. I find one by a stone wall, and sit down, closing my eyes for the tiniest of moments to absorb the sun. Not that I needed it. My skin was already tan, since I was Japanese, and I had no intention of staying out long enough to taint my pale skin with the sun's harmful rays. What? It is pale, for someone of my heritage.

I see the perfect intro to the essay flash before my closed eyes, and I immediately spring back into the real world, and take out my quill and ink, and unroll my parchment. I start to write the intro, taking care to make every word neat. Professor Snape never likes it when anyone writes messily. Apparently Potter, Granger, and that Weasley didn't get that memo, because none of them writes prettily. Sure, Granger writes neatly, but it's not pretty, just a readable scrawl.

I open the notes I took in class, just for use on the essay I knew would be assigned, and start writing the first part of the essay I knew the Slytherin Head would love.

A/N: I hope you liked it :) I know, it's a bit on the short side. Please review and let me know what you think! I have brilliant ideas in store for the next chapter ;) Well, I think so, at least.
