Let's get a few things straight about my characterization.

My name is Collette. Collette Simmons. Daughter of Orion and Lithia Simmons. I am a Death Eater and I have black hair and blue eyes, dark blue. I am cold, cruel, and witty. Interesting that I'm not in Slytherin. I'm actually in Ravenclaw.

*Flashback*

It was my first year and I was excited to finally be at Hogwarts. My name was called and an ugly, tattered, old hat was placed on my head. I expected it to say Slytherin immediately, like it had on the previous person (I'll give you 1 guess who it was), but instead it started to speak to me in my mind.

"Hmmmm. Interesting. You possess many of the qualities of all the houses."

"Put me in Gryffindor, and I'll put you through a shredder," I say with a false sweetness.

"Feisty, now, are we? Well, let's see.... Better be...RAVENCLAW!!!"

"You've got to be kidding me!" I may be an evil master mind, but I thought that I would surly be in Slytherin.

"Please, sit down, Miss Simmons," McGonnagal told me sternly.

*End Flashback*

I've grown to accept it.

I don't have many friends. My best and only friend is Erica. She's in Slytherin. She's nicer than most Slytherins, but she's still devilish.

She thinks I like Malfoy. Right.... I loath him. He thinks he's so hot. Our parents are good friends and he lives really close by. Yippee for me!!! Note the sarcasm. I used to be too young to go to the Death Eater meetings, so our parents would go out, and I got stuck with him and we "baby sat" each other.

Luckily, my 17th birthday was June22nd. I can go to the meetings now. Woo hoo! I can finally get away from him and his antics. He's so annoying. He always tries to flirt with me, and then gets mad at me for not falling for him or flirting back. Would he just give it up already? I don't like him!

Anyways, back to me. My pet peeves are Malfoy, Potter, mudbloods, and blood traitors. My hobbies include scheming against and annoying Malfoy, Potter, mudbloods and blood traitors. Also, there's something about astrological patterns that leaves me in a state of awe. Anything from meteor showers, to constellations, to eclipses, to sunsets. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a mush ball like Erica, I just find astrological phenomena fascinating! Well, I guess that's pretty much it.

*Preface*

I thought I was ready. I'm seventeen and on my way into the Malfoy Manor. I see an albino peacock pass by, seeming to glow in the darkness. I hear the trickling fountain in the back yard and it calms me down a bit. I finally enter a room with a long table. The Dark Lord sits at the end of the table with his back to the fire place. I sit across from Draco, who seems like he can't resist looking at the slowly revolving body that's hoverring over the table. I'll admit I'm afraid. The fact that the body seems as if it is in a peaceful, upside-down sleep creeps me out and I don't know how this is going to be like.
Snape and Yaxley arrive late. They talk about Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. I'm only half listening.

We hear a hissing noise and something gently nudges my foot. I'm not expecting it, but I stay calm. I love snakes, so I'm not afraid...that much. The giant snake drapes itself around the Dark Lord's shoulders and I continue to stare unseeingly and purposefully ahead.

"Draco, Collette, you should know her," the Dark Lord says, referring to the floating body above us. His cold voice sends shivers down my spine. We neither care about, nor know this woman. We never took the class, so we remain motionless.

Before I know it, the Dark Lord speaks his all too famous words and hisses something to his snake. The body falls with a crash onto the table, making it crack in half. The snake lunges at the body and people scramble out of the way. Draco Malfoy, on the other hand, simply falls off his chair and onto the floor. I use all my will power to stop myself from bursting out with laughter. He sees me snickering and glares at me. I simply smirk with amusement.
