Chapter One. Crocus.

I gripped my trunk and lugged it onto the train that was about to leave in two minutes. I huffed as it got caught on the last step, tugging it a final time to get it loosened up. I headed to the left to look for a compartment. The first three were full. "Figures." I thought as I settled down inside the fourth compartment I could find.

After I placed my trunk with all my stuff inside it under the seat, I sat down and reviewed how my day was going so far.

You see, I was a witch.

Now now, don't go spouting this bit of information about. Because they'd probably think you belong in an insanity asylum for ever suggesting this sort of thing. But yes, I'm real. And right now I'm on the train to the most prominent wizardry and witchcraft school you could find near where I lived in England.

I got my letter a few weeks ago and my parents were thrilled. Well — that was until they saw the bill for everything. They basically dropped dead at that point. So we improvised and got what was sitting in my trunk at this very moment. I couldn't afford a pet, so I didn't get one.

"I wish we could've at least put some sort of enchantment on it so it wasn't so heavy. Sheesh." I muttered as I glared at the poor excuse for what Muggles called a backpack. "Man, if I had enough room in my pack, I could've taken that instead. Sadly, no such luck."

Suddenly, the door shuddered as another student peaked her head inside my compartment. It was a tall girl with slight curls in her hair, something you'd see if you took a curling iron to the ends of her hair. She was wearing the same thing I was, black robes that have yet to been tainted with the house colors. Her eyes were an icy silver and her whole character carried an air of 'don't mess with me.'

"Can I sit here? The other compartments said they didn't have any room left." The girl with silvery eyes asked as she stared at me uncertainly. I nodded curtly and she sat down lightly, tucking her trunk under her own seat.

"Sorry for imposing, but I looked all over the train in the other direction. This compartment was at the end when I came back to look the other way." my new companion stated shortly, "I'm Viridus Accinctus."

"Crocus Tutella, nice to meet you," I said back politely. She stared at me, her eyes scanning me and my trunk with a hint of curiosity and suspicion. I wiggled around in my own seat for a few moments until it became too much to bare. I pulled out my dull wooden trunk and unlocked the silver clasps. My long fingers searched the trunk until I could find the book I wanted.

My hands pulled out a beaten book with a handmade cover because the original paper cover had been torn beyond recognition. The cheap leather was imprinted with the book's title: Wings of Fire: the Dragonet Prophecy.

As soon as I opened the book, Viridus asked a simple question, "What house do you think you'll be in?"

"I don't know, my parents say I'll be in Hufflepuff," I responded before returned to the story.

Viridus responded back cooly, "I think I'm going to be in Slytherin."

"Cool," I responded shortly before becoming silent for the next few minutes.

"This is where the others usually tell me to get out of the compartment I'm in, although I usually ask it the first thing sitting down."

I looked up from my book, "I have no problem with Slytherin. I mean, it mostly rumors right? And no one is 100% black or white. People can't be bad just because of what house they're in."

Viridus kept quiet, and I let my eyes read the next five chapters. I had no idea how much time had passed, but the next time I looked up, Viridus had her eyes stuck to a Potions book. I clapped my book shut suddenly and headed out of the compartment to get changed.

Once I got back after pushing through a group of first years panicking outside the bathroom, I sat down with a sigh. I suddenly didn't feel like reading anymore. There was this no good feeling stuck in my stomach and my hands instantly reached up to my light brown hair that reached my shoulders. Twirling it absently in my fingers, I stared outside the window.

The landscape passed by so quickly, it was hard for my golden brown eyes to keep up. Forests passed by in a blink of an eye and the clouds bounced out of view if you didn't watch them hard enough. "I wonder what Hogwarts is going to be like." I mused inside my head.

"Do you know how long it is until we get to Hogwarts?" Viridus asked me without lifting her head from the potions book. You could tell from the tense expression on her face that she was thoroughly interested in the topic.

I shifted my body to reach into my open trunk and pull out a plastic blue muggle watch. "I think, in 15 minutes."

Viridus nodded. "Aren't you nervous?" I asked, weary already.

"No, not really."

I put my fantasy muggle made book away and dug around my chest until I pulled out a similar potions book to my compartment mate's. I scanned the table of contents until I found ingredients and started reading about it. The black haired witch looked up from her own textbook, "You like potions?"

"Yeah, so far, why?"

"Me too. I've read this book twice since I've gotten it."

I let a small smile get through, "It's definitely interesting, albeit challenging."

She nodded in agreement. Before I knew it, though, it was time to get off the train. My stomach did a flip and I made sure I had my wand before walking off the Hogwarts Express with Viridus. The next few moments were a blur of students as we pushed through the crowd. More like Viridus being a bit aggressive and pushing through ahead of me and I following her lead. Once she made her way to the shores where the boats were, we boarded onto it.

"Firs' years! Firs' years over here! Five ter a boat, five ter a boat!" a huge man shouted on his own boat, waving a pink umbrella around. Viridus and I boarded a floating boat in front of us. The lake rippled as we put our weight on the water vehicle. I sat down next to my friend, you could barely see her in the pitch black darkness. Good thing the boats carried lamps. The light reflected in my glasses.

Before the boats could leave, three boys finally filled up our own. One had slicked back blonde hair with a higher up look to himself. He was surrounded by two stocky looking boys, both looked identical but I could tell they weren't. One was slightly shorter than the other, and their hair colors differentiated. But I got that feeling that they both were highly unintelligent.

"Malfoy?" Viridus asked as she lifted her eyes from a facts book she had brought along to 'keep her awake.'

"Accinctus." The blonde boy said back, "Why does it sound like you're surprised to see me here?"

"It's not that I'm surprised to see you here, I'm just surprised that you came here with those two. I didn't even know they were smart enough to get accepted into Hogwarts!" Viridus retorted back in a slightly drawling voice.

I couldn't help but agree. The two stocky students on the other side of the boy named Malfoy didn't even blink at the insult.

But I wondered, "How do you know these two Viridus?"

"All purebloods know each other." She responded back to me with a slight frown on her face. Pureblood. Blood types. My parents told me about them. I thought I had heard that word before.

Although the two Purebloods knew each other, they didn't talk to each other much. Instead, they preferred to send each other cold glares. The boats were pulled across the water and soon we turned around the corner. To reveal Hogwarts.

I was fascinated! It was a huge castle lit up by million of lights and the goliath scale of the whole area of amazing. Combine that with the fact that it was nighttime made everything seem mythical like it popped out of a mystery story! Everyone around seemed to be astounded by the sheer awesomeness of the castle too, Viridus smiled broadly. Draco seemed to grin softly and even the two lackey's next to him looked up to admire the building.

Before we even had time to open our mouths and make some sort of comment, the boats were guided into the castle. It all happened so quickly.

"Time ter get out an' get yerselves sorted." The large man announced as students started getting off the boats. I watched Malfoy walked around from us right away, his two lackeys not far behind. I looked at Virius and we walked together to the front of the crowd. Everyone got sorted in alphabetical order anyways.

Once we got to the front a tall older woman I assumed was a professor come out and quieted down the crowd. "Before you all are sorted, try tidying yourself up." The strict looking Professor let her eyes drop to a red-head boy next to me. Then she walked out of the door.

"What does she mean by that?" A small boy with messy black hair muttered to the boy with a splatter of freckles. I felt a jab in my side and Viridus directed my gaze to the Malfoy boy who started walking up to us. Not to us specifically. Because he stopped next to the two boys.

"Hello, I heard Harry Potter was coming to Hogwarts this year. It's you, isn't it?" He said to the shorter boy. The one with the green eyes and seemed a little too small for his age looked up at Malfoy. "Yeah, that's me."

"Oh, this is Crabbe and Goyle. And my name is Draco, Draco Malfoy." I was suddenly jerked forward with Viridus as she stomped forward and pushed past the other kids wondering what was happening. She came into range of the boys, and I finally saw them up close, with another bushy haired girl next to them I didn't see previously.

"What are you doing?" I asked in confusion when she broke Draco's eye contact. His grey eyes landed on the pair of us and sneered.

"Don't ruin this for me Accinctus!"

"What do you mean, I don't think you have the emotional capacity to hold down a real friend for more than a month." The icy blue eyes that belonged to the mouth that spoke those scathing words flickered to mine. I shivered slightly, reminded of a character I liked named Tsunami.

Draco glared at the both of us, "I was just trying to help Potter find the right friends."

"Well, I'm just trying to make sure you don't mess up Mr. Potter's brain by trying to become friends with him," Viridus replied cooly.

I could see that the red headed boy was watching the two with unease. "Guys, can we stop squabbling, we're going to get sorted soon!" I tugged on Viridus' arm and she surprised me by actually following me as I pulled her away. And, I was right anyways. Right after I got at least two people between Viridus and Draco, the doors blew open and the students were all asked to line up.

There, sitting still on a stool was a tattered hat that had apparently seen its fair share of students. It was bent and there were rips, but the founders made it stand the test of time. A large rip in its mouth opened up and sang a song. I didn't really pay attention to the hat as it sang its song. My heart did somersaults and felt like it was going to pound out of my chest. It was until I felt Viridus leave next to me that I started to focus.

"Accinctus, Virius!" The hat shouted loudly. I watched her walk, almost with no sound, to the stool. She picked up the hat and placed it on her head slightly tilted so her icy blue eyes were left open to view the whole school.

I didn't know whether the hat talked to her like my mom said the hat did, but after what felt like forever, the hat called out, "Slytherin!"
