My name is Kagome Higurashi, I was recently transferred to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. My father, 'He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named', yeah, I think it's stupid too. Anyways, my father who was clearly all about exterminating the Muggles, Half-bloods and Muggleborns...along with anyone else who wasn't ready to go along with his 'cause', had a very 'dirty' secret...me. A half-blood.

So...before you all start thinking that my mother was forced or some complete crap like that. She wasn't. She was a victim of stupid decisions. On her college graduation trip, she went to the 'Great UK' and toured around. I guess, she ran into 'him' when running from some muggers. He saved her...and she fell in love with him. There was a bit of magic in my mother, different from what he knew, but strong. He could sense it all the same. She was a Shrine Maiden in Japan. He took her that night, and when he was brought down, no one knew he'd ever been with my mother. She returned back to Japan with tears and a broken heart.

Ten years later, her daughter is poisoned by a Wizard who caught wind of the 'Dark Lords Daughter'. Guess who that is. Yeah, well, Dumbledore heard of the initial attack on me, and arrived too late, I was poisoned. He took me to Hogwarts, to see if anything could be done to save me. He summoned a Potions Magister, who went by the name Severus Snape, who was immediately against helping me because of who my father was. However, soft spoken, yet urgent words encouraged him to do all that he could to save an innocent little girl.

Severus couldn't cure me; I couldn't be cured. The poison's effects could however be calmed and slowed down. I wouldn't die...yet...

The door to her compartment opened and four people walked in. People she wasn't all too thrilled to see so soon before arriving at school. Turning as one sat next to her, she frowned, "Uh...question...why are they in here?" Kagome pointed to three people now sitting across from her in her compartment, "and follow up if I may...why are you in here?"

"Humph, Draco, we can find another seat, one that doesn't have a filthy lion in it."

'If you only knew...' Kagome rolled her eyes.

Draco sighed, "There were no other seats, Kagome."

Yes, he was one of the only people she talked to on a first name basis, but still, he was a Slytherin who brought nothing but drama to her. Mostly because of the drama she and him got into during his first and second year at school...now in her sixth year, his fourth year, Kagome honestly wasn't sure why the hell she tolerated him still.

She had met Draco outside of school on many occasions. Her first time meeting him, he had been eleven, and she had been thirteen. Severus, who was responsible for her during the two weeks before school starts, had gone to visit Lucius Malfoy a couple days before the start of term, and she had come along. Needless to say, she was quick to let him know who was in charge when he thought he could get mouthy with her.

She'd left him dangling from his mothers crystal chandelier in the grand ballroom of their home. She'd nearly had a fit, but since her son wasn't dead, she also kept her mouth shut. Lucius had thought it all good fun, even said that it built character and would teach his son to respect those of a higher status. Although, Kagome had only raised her brow at the insinuation that she was above the Malfoy's...but it kept Draco off her back, so what did she care.

"Stay if you must, but do so silently."

His friends expected some kind of insult or rude comment from Draco, but he nodded his head and simply went to silently staring out the window of the Hogwarts Express.

"What the hell, Draco?!"

Kagome frowned, waving a hand at the girl, the slide door was slammed open and she was thrown out before the door once again slammed shut. Kagome lifted her eyes to the other one. Blaise Zabini, "did you have anything you wanted to add?"

Blaise smirked, "not at all."

She nodded as the boy sat down and she returned to rewriting her potions essay for what looked to be the third time if the drafts beside her were anything to go by. If Hermione was the smartest witch of their year, Kagome was by far the smartest among her year. Although, it wasn't because she tried to be, it was out of boredom that she did her work until it was flawless. If she had free time, and there was nothing to do, she would find a book to read or redo her work, or simply write her own essays for her own choice of entertainment.

"Can I?" Blaise pointed to the essay on her left that she'd already discarded after her second rewrite. She no longer needed it, and nodded her head for him to do whatever he wanted with the draft. He picked it up and started to read over what she deemed as incomplete or imperfect, his eyes widening at the incredibly detailed essay as he read it over till the very end. "It's really no wonder you're an O only student. This is amazing..."

Kagome tried to ignore the boy across from her, but the lightly dusted pink along her cheeks told both Draco and Blaise that she'd heard them. She forced down the embarrassment of praise and continued her her neat scrawl across the parchment roll. They would be at Hogwarts in a few hours, and by that time, she'd be done with her assignment...again.
