(MUST READ NOTE: Okay so my laptop glitched out TOWARW THE END and wouldnt let me NOT do bold font so just ignore the bold font for the rest of the chapter, which is almost done)
Hullo so this chapter is a proluage but its also a pitch for the story. I wanted to share it with you. And if you like it, this would be the first chapter thats why I havent posting on my other story. But now pretty sure Ill be more consistent with both. But this chapter is to test the waters
Harry
Madam Malkins
"Hogwarts dear?" Asked Madam Malkin, a squat, smiling witch dressed in all mauve."Got the lot here- another young man and lady are being fitted up just now, in fact."
In the back of the shop stood a boy and girl about his age, both have robes on, which were being pinned up by another witch and wizard.
When Harry stood beside the boy he got a good look at them. The boy had a pale complexion, pointed face and grey eyes, like a falcon.
But the girl looked diffrent, and in some way, the same as the boy. They both had bleach blonde hair, but the girls was big and curly. Not bushy, just big and curly. her complexion was pale, but not as pale as the boys. Her eyes were big and gray, but not cold, like the boys, they were more like a deer, but there was a fierce look to them too, like if she looked at you, you'd feel like she was looking into your soul. They were obviously twins, but they had a different nature to them. But the girl still seemed a bit arrogant, like the boy.
"Hello," said the boy, "Hogwarts, too?"
"Yes," said Harry.
Madam Malkin and her workers went to the back room to get something.
"My fathers next door buying books for us, Mothers up the street, looking for wands," said the boy. He had a bored, drawling voice. " Afterwards, Im going to make them get me a racing broom, they don't allow first years to have them, but Ill smuggle it somehow."
"Thats rude, Draco, Mum and Dad said no yesterday." Said the girl, speaking for the first time. Her voice wasn't like the boys-Draco-but it was more alive, like everything she said she also takes into account and revaluates on what she says, and it had this spunk to it, like she was a spunky girl, but didn't show it.
"Mum said no, dad didn't answer" Draco said to her, making her roll her eyes. "You wanted one too! Remember? you wanted to be chaser!" The girl ignored him.
Harry had no idea what a chaser was, but it sounded cool.
"Have you got your own broom?" The boy went on.
"No," said Harry.
"Play Quidditch at all?"
"No," Harry said agian, wondering what on earth Quidditch could be.
"I do, Father said its a crime if I dont get pick to play for my house team, which is true, in my opinion. Know what house you'll be in?"
"Stop shooting him with questions Draco!" The girl said. said, exasperated. "He may not know what houses are."
"I reckon I'll be in Slytherin, all our family were." The boy said, ignoring his twin. "Cam wants to be in Gryffindor." The boy said that sentence with the deepest of loathing, worthy of the way Uncle Vernon talks to him.
"Whats wrong with that?" Harry asked. The boy ignored him the rest of the time. Both of them did, except for when they left, the girl who Harry thought to be Cam, or maybe that was her nickname, waved bye to him.
Platform nine and 3/4 - Hogwarts express.
Harry pressed through the crowds until he found an "empty compartment" only to find an all-white cat with mismatch blue and green eyes staring at him, curled up in a ball, and a trunk with the intials C.M on it. Having no where else to sit hit pulled his trunk into the compartment.
He tried to lift it into the cage thing about the seats, but he was too short and scrawny to pick it up.
"Want a hand?" It was one of the red haired twins he'd followed thepugh the barrier.
"Yes please," Harry panted.
"Oy, Fred! C'mere and help!"
With the twins help, Harrys trunk was safely tucked away on the corner of the cage-trunk holder thing.
"Thanks," said Harry, pushing his sweaty hair out of his eyes.
"Whats that?" Asked George, pointing at Harrys scar.
"Blimey," said Fred. "Are you- ?"
"He is." George said, astonished
Alone in compartment after hear the Weasleys discussion.
He sat back in his seat and sighed, his compartment partner has yet to come. And the conversation he'd just over heard seemed odd to him. Blimey, he really was famous? That made Harry both uncomfortable and smug, mainly smug because of the Dursleys.
His train of thoughts were interrupted when someone, grumbling something, came into his compartment.
"Father says this, father says that, your stupid, Camie." It was the blond girl from Madam Malkins, who was actually nice to him, she was fuming and mumbling to her self in a mocking sense. "Im better, blah-"
She stopped dead in her tracks once she saw Harry. Her big gray eyes widened, probably realizing they'd met before.
"Hi," she said in a small voice, Harry was sure thats not how she usually talking, judging by the way she was mumbling to her self.
"Hello, Im guessing your the one with the cat and trunk here?" Harry asked. She nodded. "Hope you dont mind that I sat here. There was no other empty ones."
"Its fine! Im glad Im not alone for like 7 hours." The girl sat across from him, crossing her legs. "Im Camila Malfoy, but you can call me Cam."
"Im Harry Potter" Harry said. Cams eyes flicked to Harrys scar but she didn't say anything about it. Which Harry was greatful for, he didn't attention or to talk about his famousness.
"Nice to meet ya." She said, spunkiness now displayed plainly in her boice and eyes, along with a mischievous look in her eyes too. "Your glasses are cool."
"Thanks, wheres your brother?" Harry asked.
"I dont want to sit with him, hes a jerk, and so are his friends." Cam answered.
Before Harry could evaluate on the conversation, the door of the compartment slid open and the youngest red-head boy revealed himself. Harry glanced at Cam, who had a slight sneer on her face, but it was barely noticable.
"Is anyone sitting there?" Ue asked, pointing at the seat beside Harry. "Everywhere else is full."
"Sure," Harry said, still looking at Cam, whos sneer went away when they made eye contact.
The ginger sat down next to Harry, and Harry introduced him self, Ron was extatic that he was with Harry Potter.
"Im Camila Mal-" Cam had started, but the boy cut her off.
"I know who you are, why do you have the nerve to sit by Harry? To bully him?" Ron said, they must've already met, or their familys knew each other, and didn't like eachother.
Cam looked both hurt and angry, she gave him a look worthy of Aunt Petunia.
"Dont assume my personality because of my family and before I actually talk to you, and Im sorry for being nice to you, Im sure my brother would surely not." Cam said, she noticed Harry staring in awe for being so fierce, and mouthed to him What? He smiled and Shrugged in response.
"Sorry," The boy said, and he sounded like he somehwhat meant it. "Im Ron Weasley, by the way"
Still on the train, just s few hours later.
While the three first years were discussing and eating Berty Botts Every Flavor Beans, a roundfaced boy slud into the compartment.
"Sorry, But have yoy seen a toad?" Asked the boy.
The boys shook their head.
"No,sorry, we'll let you know if we do, though." Cam said.
"He'll turn up," Harry assured him.
"Thanks," The boy was eyeing Cam, not wearily, but curiously. He left the compartment after he was done.
"Dont know why he was ao bothered, if I brought a toad, I'd loose it as quick as possible." said Ron, making Cam snort. "Mind you, I brpught Scabbers, so I cant talk."
The rat in Rons lap, snored loudly in his sleep, how he snores, Harry didn't know perhaps he was a magic rat.
"Might've died a couple times, but he survived somehow. I tried to turn him yellow once. The spell didn't work, though. I'll show you two, look . . ." He pulled out his wand and pulled out his wand. It looked second hand, maybe even third hand, it was made out of spruce there was a little tuft of shiny white hair sticking out the end.
As he raised his wand, the apartment door slid open, again. The toadless boy was back, but a girl was with him this time. Cam perked up when she saw the girl, who had bushy hair and was wearing her Hogwarts robes already.
"Has anyone seen a toad?" She asked. "Nevilles lost one."
"We alrwady told him we havent." Ron said, but she wasn't listening, she had spotted Cam.
"Hi, Camila!" She said positively.
"Hullo, Hermoine!" The girl said with equal positivity. "Did you find the book you were looking for?"
"Mhm! Thanks for directions." She glanced at Ron, then she saw his wand. "You're doing magic? Well, lets see then!"
Right before they arrive at hogwarts.
Harry and Ron had been chatting and eating sweets for ao long, after a while it got dark out and the lights turned on. Cam fell asleep a little after Hermoine left, the boys let her sleep, they couldn't imagine what it'd be like to be twins with Malfoy. He'd come to their compartment while Cam was sleeping, and tried to be friends, but it wlreally was Malfoy just asking them to be his minions. Harry refused, Malfoy got mad, but Harry kicked him out because Cam was sleeping.
"Shes my twin, Potter! Shut up!" He said, with no actual comeback, before he left.
A speaker sounded, telling the students that they'd be arriarriving at Hogwarts in ten minutes.
Harry got up and shook Cam awake.
"Hey, dude, get up. We're almost at Hogwarts." She woke up, gave him a slight dirty look for disturbing her slumber, and went to change into her robes.
Sorting Ceremony
'The Sorting Ceremony will take place in a few minutes," Professor Mcgonnagall said, after she had explained what and where the houses are. "I suggest you smarten your selves up while your waiting."
Her eyes lingered on Neville to Ron. Harry flattened his hair nervously. And saw Cam tie her black tie a little tighter. What on earth could that mean?
"I shall return when we are ready for you." Mcgonnagal left the great hall through a back door and the hall erupted into chatter.
"What do they do to us? Harry asked Ron.
"I think its some sort of test. Fred said it hurts alot, but I dont believe him."
"They put a hat on your head, Ronald," Cam said. "And the hat takes it from there."
Harry immediately felt better from what Cam said. At least he wouldn't be asked a bumch of questions only wizards would know.
Professor Mcgonnagall walked back into the Great Hall with a hat, called the first name after wxplaining what she would do, and the Sorting begun.
Cam.
Cam has already bitten her nails, chewed on her hair, and cracked her knuckles out of Anticapation. Because they werent do alphabetical order, Cam was one of the last first years in the huddle. Harry and Ron got into Gryffindor. And she really wanted to be with them.
She didn't want to be in Slytherin, it was a secret she only told Draco. Because she knew her parents would disown her if they found out. She wanted to be in Gryffindor, where their brave, chivalrous, and kind. She would have friends in Gryffindor-Harry and Ron- and none in Slytherin.
Of cpurse her and Draco loved each other, but in some different way. They were always doing different things growing up. Not everything together like twins normaly did.
"Malfoy, Draco!" Professor Mcgonnagall interupted her thought line. She put her full attention, to Draco stalking up to the hat. She watched as the hat barely touched its head before his was prounouced as a "SLYTHERIN" and Cams stomach dropped. What if thats what happens to her? What if she wont be able to let the hat know she doesn't want Slytherin?
"See you soon, sis." Draco hissed in her ear as he walked by her. "I love you."
"Malfoy, Camila!"
Cam walked slowly up to the hat, and sat hard on the stool. Professor hovered the hat above her head, expecting the it would shout. Cam gripped the ends of the stool so hard her knuckles turned blue. When the hat said nothing, Mcgonnagal put the hat fully on her head.
) Please dont put me with my brother She thought vigorously. But the hat ignored her. It seemed to be thinking. I thought fo what seemed like days. Until it staryed to yell. "RAV-" It stopped. The Ravenclaw table, who had started to clap looked confused. It thpught for another minute. Cam felt as it was sucking in all her secrets. Finally, it yelled.
"GRYFFINDOR"
Silence, everyone was silent. For a Camila Malfoy had broken the family line and gone into Gryffindor.
Fortunately, Harry, Ron and Hermoine started to cheer. Everyone else followed, and she felt the happines come. She marched over to the Gryffindor table a big, stupid grin on her face. She dat next to Harry and they shared a one arm hug.
As she was eating her dinner, she was talking, laughing trying new foods. She wasn't punished for slouching, or using the wrong fork. She didn't have to act like like a Slytherin. She cpuld be who she was.
She felt like she belonged.
