(THIS CHAPTER HAS BEEN REWRITTEN)
"Rochelle!" Sapphire Hunter snapped at her best friend "aren't you listening?"
"umm… yes?" Sapphire looked hopelessly at Rochelle "sorry! I was thinking, anyways…" Rochelle shoved her thoughts to the back of her mind, she faced today's problem "you were saying?"
"You know I told you about my parents working for…" Sapphire lowered her voice to a deadly whisper "you-know-who" Rochelle nodded, unsure of what to expect. Sapphire lifted her sleeve up to reveal the dark mark etched permanently onto her arm, tears threatening to fall " my mom requested I got it" Rochelle grabbed Sapphire's arm in disbelief, she stared at it from all different angles in the hope it would disappear. It didn't.
"Oh 'phire, I'm so sorry"
"Draco got one as well; I have to help him whilst I attempt to complete my mission" Sapphire stopped talking aruptantly "I'll talk to you tonight, usual place"
Sapphire left the train compartment in a desperate rush and collided with Harry Potter; the most unusual thing was that she apologized and helped him up! Normally she'd call him a 'filthy half-blood' or a 'waste of space'. Rochelle pondered the reason for this, as she walked down the train, she stopped at the compartment that usually housed her best friends. She entered and sat opposite Grace Quinn, Grace had very long, straight and smooth hair, which was almost always twisted into a single plait which ran down her back. Her oval face held leafy green eyes along with a handful of freckles that had been playfully scattered onto her pale moon skin. Grace looked up and smiled at Rochelle, before she turned back to her book.
Rochelle took out her book of doodles and her pencil, which lasted 3 seconds before it was swiped out of her hands by Jemma Langhorn, another of her weird and wonderful friends, Jemma Langhorn had short coppery hair that hovered just above her shoulders and ocean blue eyes, framed by the glasses perched upon her face. She was a half-blood Gryffindor. Jemma opened the book of doodles, Zoe Chang and Layla Parker instantly crowded around it in a chorus of 'ohh's' and 'ahh's'.
While her friends admired her 'work of art' Rochelle thought about the first time any of them had ever met, how against all odds they had all managed to stay best friends and overcome the house rivalry.
Rochelle waved goodbye to her mum and dad before she proceeded to look for an empty compartment, she looked at each individual compartment checking to see if it was free, she was so distracted that she walked into someone knocking them both to the ground. She looked at the boy she'd practically attacked; his face held a disgusting scowl, he stood up, looked around and turned his scowl into a smile. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, so sorry" Rochelle apologised desperately.
"It's alright" he smiled.
"I'm sorry! I was looking for an empty compartment" his smile turned into an amused smirk.
"Just don't do it when people are around, I'm Draco, Draco Malfoy"
"Rochelle Wright" she shook his outstretched hand.
"Rachael Wright?"
"No, Rochelle Wright"
"Rochelle?" Rochelle nodded "there are no free compartments left, but I know someone who'd be will to take you"
"Really!" Rochelle beamed, Draco's smirk grew.
"Follow me"
Rochelle followed him down the train, keeping her eyes on the back of his over-gelled blonde hair. He stopped at a compartment, sliding the door open.
"Malfoy, what don't you understand. Get. Out" a voice floated from inside the compartment.
"I brought you a friend" he pushed Rochelle into the compartment, where she stood in front of an angry girl with crazy curling hair and dark green eyes, the eyes held pity as they lay on the lost girl in their sight.
Rochelle cautiously took a seat as Draco left.
"Sorry about Malfoy, he's a git"
"I thought he was okay!"
"You obviously haven't spent your whole childhood with him"
*minutes later*
Draco walked into the compartment "brought you more friends" he pushed two skinny looking girls into the compartment before scattering off elsewhere. Rochelle gaze flickered between the two girls, they both looked entirely different, so they weren't sisters…
"Hiya, I'm Sapphire Hunter and this is Rochelle Wright" Sapphire greeted, mostly to the shy looking girl.
"Hi, I'm Grace Quinn" the shy girl replied.
"I'm Layla Parker" Rochelle smiled warmly.
Layla looked far more comfortable than Grace, her dark brown hair flowed down her back in waves, getting lighter and blonder, framing her ocean blue eyes, as deep as the sea.
They both sat down, Rochelle began to ask the girls random questions to break the silence "what's your favourite colour?"
"Green" Grace replied.
"Red" Sapphire replied
"So you want to be in Gryffindor?"
"No! I want to be a Slytherin, you?"
"I don't mind, I'll go wherever the hat puts me" Rochelle replied confidently.
Someone knocked on the compartment door, and slid it open. Three girls stood in the doorway.
The first was a small, fair haired girl named Tori Harper; her piercing blue eyes were enhanced by her pale skin and straight, smooth hair.
The second was Zoe Chang, a tall, Chinese girl, the glasses she wore emphasised her midnight, black eyes.
The third was a girl called Jemma Langhorn.
"can we sit in here" Zoe asked, a hint of nervousness in her voice.
"What's stopping you?" Sapphire asked sarcastically.
The three girls took a seat hesitantly.
