As I pack my bags my sister shouted from down the hall, asking if I had her blue sweater. I told her no; even though it's my favorite color, it didn't fit. I walked to the hall to find her picking it off her bedroom floor. I rushed down the steps to stuff my face with toast. As I brushed by my mom she scolded me to slow down, and chew before I choke on it. Then I burst through the front door while struggling to carry my luggage. Tripping on my way out I set some of the bags down. I tried fixing them in a way were i could carry them all at once. After a while my taxi arrived. He pulled up fast and stepped put even faster. Without turning the car off he asked my name and I confirmed it. The driver began to help me place my entire luggage in the trunk. After we slammed the trunk door closed and I quickly rushed to the back seat. When I clicked my seat belt, I look at the window to see my mom and dad waiting. I smile and wave, and I place my on the leather seat in front of me.
"To the train station please." I said to the driver. On the way to the train station, I see memories passed me by. The friends I had made while being here, and all the fun things we did. I quickly look ahead to close my eyes, and clear my thoughts. Thinking of Hogwarts made me nervous and extremely excited at the same time. I could only imagine what adventures I would have.
The driver turns around and asks for his money. I rushed through my purse and gave what was owed. Getting out of the car he helped me unload, then drove away. I then proceeded to walk about the train station. Looking around it took a while to find platform nine. When I found it I looked about where the third wall was located. After locating it I glanced around to make sure that no one was looking. When the coast was clear, I rushed into the wall. Closing my eyes, and adrenaline rushing I was almost positive that it wouldn't work. Expecting to crash at any point. After stepping a few more steps, then I realize I made it. I glanced up with one eye open to find a beautiful red train. Slowly walking up to the entrance door, I was marveling at the size of the train. It looked like it was brand new. Finally making it to the door the bellhop insisted on taking my luggage to another part of the train. I nodded and smiled, and rushed onto the train. It was crowded in the majority part of the train. Walking down the tiny halls I had to squeeze by students. Following a map, I carefully watched for the Slytheren cart. After finding the room with my luggage, I realized other people's luggage was in there too. Scoping out the room and the other luggage I opened my bag and pulled out my uniform. As a turned around to walk out the door, there was a guy leaning in the doorway. He had white hair with pale green eyes. He stood with a way about him that seemed harmless, yet showing that he could do such if needed.
"Will you please move?" I asked as if I was two and he was going to move on command.
"Why? You are in my way", he said.
So, I stepped as closely to the seats behind me and leaned back to make a pathway. Then I raised my right hand to show it was cleared. I smiled at him, but only to get daggers stared back. He then proceeded to walk past me, and sit at the nearest seat to the window. I shook my head and continued to walk to the bathroom. The train over the tracks would make the carts bump every now and then. It was hard to get dressed if you can't keep your balance. By the time I got my uniform on, we had arrived in school. I rushed to my cart to find two other boys and one brunette girl. I smiled and said," Hey, I'm Vedia. Vedia Lovett." But no one bothered to smile, or say who they were. So I just sat at the closest available seat to the door.
After a while the train stopped and we were instructed where to go. I just simply followed the other students from my cart. They led me to a bigger group of students wearing the same uniforms. We all walked to a dungeon like room. It was gray with blue-green pieces of cloth hanging from the ceiling. There were some couches of the same color in the center of the room, and then there were two sets of stair just like the brochure had a picture of. I then proceeded to go to the girls dorm and put away all my clothes. The other girls they looked at me then one another and started to talk. They went through a few subjects till they came to the topic of boys. wasn't concerned with their meaningless chatter so I left after I finished packing. I started to head to the door leading to the common room. Then I was only able to take a few steps when a girl with silky blond hair and brown eyes stopped me with a question.
"Which do you like more, Vedia?" she asked with a scummy like smile.
"I don't know anyone yet so I really couldn't say." I said with complete confidence.
"Oh ya that's right you're the new girl! Well you must have seen someone you like today. So come on tell us." Other girls repeated the same thing thinking that I didn't hear it the first time.
"No, no one. Though if I did he'd possible have already been on your list." I said with a smile that showed I wasn't playing around this year with girls like her. I then walked away, with the only sound of "ohhhs" following me from the room. From there I walked to the common room to find the white headed guy and his other two friends sitting there on the couches. So I figured I'd walk around to get to know the place. But before I got the door I was called for from the couches, knowing who it was I continued walking. The voice sounded really hostle when I placed my hand on the door.
"Hey! I'm talking to you!" he said.
I turned to find the white headed boy standing up from his seat with a look of impatience.
"What." I said with true concern.
"Don't talk to him like that!" one of the boys said while standing up.
"No," The white headed boy said while raising his hand as to tell him to sit, "It's ok, so, you're new?" He said as if he already knew but was trying to pick at me.
He started to walk closer to me slowly to try and show that he was the better one in this position. "If you're new don't you need someone to show you are around new girl?"I folded my arm and said, "Not if it's you."
He sped up his pace to a slow jog and got close and said," You watch your mouth you have no idea who you're talking to." Then he smiled. "Goyle, show our new ... friend ... the school."
"With pleasure Draco." Goyle said with sarcasm.
"Na... I think I got it" I said in a loud whisper.
As I started to walk away I could feel the anger emanating from the room behind me. I started to walk down the moving stair cases to the main halls. There you can see were that have portraits of past teachers and of school events. I touch every wall just to see the texture of the stone that was holding all the secrets of this place together. Each little window had a different stain image on it, some with knights and others of famous winnings of wizard cups. As I continued down the hall I didn't realize were I was going till I found myself in the court yard pacing around a tree that had such a way about it. Pink was the color of it radiating off of every flower pedal. I walk on a little further till I could see a bridge; I walk on it with care. To insure that I don't fall, I let my hand guild me the whole way across. Then I stumbled upon a lake that looked as if it were mucky, like it was thick or just really deep. I look down into the water to see what I could see. The only thing was a steal image of me. So I looked up to see how far it goes. It stretched till your eyes can't see it anymore. So with that note I walk back to the school. By the time I get back to the bridge. I'm already looking at the ground, so I'm surprised to see a pair of shoes in front of me. I look up and it's the Draco guy, with not a single expression on his face. I start to walk around him to avoid any conversation, but he had to say something.
"So?" he said as if he had something smart to say with it. I turn just to look at him with a plan face. "I'm guessing you're done with walking around?" Then he starts to walk away as if he was done. So I do the same.
"You know, you really must not know Me." he says while holding his finger in the air and shaking it. "Cause you haven't flinched or even batted an eye since you've showed up. Much less seeing me."
"We'll just say that I know your type." Then I start to walk away.
"Oh ya and what is that? Hum? I don't think you know at all!"
I turn to look at him.
"It's the type of person who takes control to a level that they can't handle! You don't even know who I am so why are you concerning yourself with someone like me? Someone you don't know." I then walk away.
"You don't know me! You have no idea what I'm capable of!" he shouts to get the last words. As I walk away I hear him huffing and murmuring to himself.
Getting back at school I start to find my classes and were they all are. My first is Potion, then then Dark Arts next is Spells and finally it's Magical Creatures. Then I find the rooms and meet the teachers. After I meet the teachers I ask which students will be attending. Most of them didn't know until the roll came in; others didn't want to say so. So I just went about, back to the dorm to get a good night sleep. On my way back to the dorms I find myself being called from the end of the common room.
"Hey new girl, so you've been around the school? I heard that Draco really had a mouth full to say to you." The blond said with laughter. As if it were her concern or somehow made her better. So I shook my head and continued to my dorm. I change into my pajamas. When I finished some girls walk in to do the same. After I brush my hair and teeth the blond girl has more to say.
"You didn't say anything when I told you what I heard. Why? Is it true?" she said as if she was talking down to a baby. So I look at her to show her that I wasn't interested in playing her game. "Oh come on Vedia, it's not like I would tell anyone." she said with udder sarcasm. I rolled my eyes, followed by an exhale. Then it was just a competition to who could hold the start longer.
"Yes I talked to him." I said hoping that that was all she would want at the least. No, it only made her want more. She then went on rambling about all the possible things he could have said. None of which affected me, until she started to accuse me and my family of being mud bloods. This sparked something in me that I didn't realize was there. Something about it rubbed me the wrong way.
"Huh, it that it?" she said while hovering in my breathing space. The only thing I could do was look at the floor. But after a few more moments of interrogating, I snapped. I reached forward with my fist in hand and knocked her a good one. She fell to the floor with a loud thud. I was almost certain that the boy's dorm would hear. Then half of the room rushed over to see the damage and to help her up. Not wanting to hurt the situation even more I stepped over the girl and walked to the door, after I took a few steps outside the door I rushed down the steps and to the door out of the common room. But when I opened the door there standing was Draco. He looked at me with brief shock, and then he looked me up and down with confusion. He said nothing to me, so I pushed my way through. I then followed out to find the nearest teacher, but no one was to be found. So I sat in the hall were the only light was the moon. I stayed there thinking to myself. 'Why? Why did you do that? I mean... Huh ... I didn't have to hit her...' This conversation raced through my head. Till someone came walking down the hall. To my surprise it was Professor Snape.
"What. Are you doing out so late? Shouldn't you be in bed?" he said with such calmness.
"Sorry Professor, I need to tell you something. I hit a girl and she is really hurt. I didn't know what to do?" I tried to explain without getting upset.
"Rebecka? She is already at the nurse. Don't worry about her you just head along to bed now." he then started to walk away. "Tomorrow is a big day the first of school. Don't be late" he said while facing the direction he was walking. I just shook my head and walked back to my dorm. By the time I go to the moving stair cases, I bummed into someone.
"Sorry, I wasn't ..." When I looked up it was Draco. So I started to walk away.
"Watch wear you're going!" He said with hatred.
"I said I was sorry. Besides what are you doing out so late anyway?" I replied.
"Nothing that concerns you, besides I could ask you the same thing."
"I hit Rebecka. "I said as if I were proud. "Your turn."
"I don't have to tell you anything. "He said with such defense . He then started to walk away and so did I till I heard him turn and say. "Wait. You hit Rebecka?" He exclaimed liked he was impressed.
"Ya, ok now you can laugh at me. Go on."
"No that's... pretty cool she needed to be hit. It will take her down a few notches." He said while looking the other way. Then, when we looked at each other, we looked anywhere but each other's faces. "So, Can I walk you back to the dorms? Seeing as your a new student and all." He asked as if the question hurt. So I didn't want him to hurt himself.
"Na, I got it from here." I said. Then I walked up the first couple of steps. When I got to the top I heard he was just starting to step, I smiled. Then i walked the rest of the way back to the dorms alone.
