Glittering Green Web

In a world where Harry is a camp prefect, Ginny got Ron expelled, and a feisty former-Durmstrang student has joined Hogwarts, life is not quite as it seems. Hermione has a dark secret, which only one person knows about… One person who's known all along…

Howdy, partners! :) For all of you who've read my last story, Bushy Hair and Sacrifices, sorry I never finished it – writer's block! If anyone has any ideas I can use, please please please mail me or put them in a review! And for those of you who haven't read it already, please go read Walking the Line. I feel no shame whatsoever in advertising it here, as it could well be the best story I've ever written :) But for now, on with the story…

SAMII'S POINT OF VIEW

"Excuse me, can I sit here?" I asked, already barging my way into the compartment before anyone could answer me. I sat down, and looked around at the three people sitting opposite me. A boy with hair that was so blonde it was almost white was half lying down with his feet up on the seat and leaning against the window. He was staring at me curiously. A brunette girl looking slightly on edge was sat by his feet. It looked to me like she was trying to get nearer to him, but couldn't quite figure out how. She eyed me suspiciously as I looked over at the last person in the compartment. His physique bore a remarkable resemblance to a bouncer I'd seen at a club. He was tall, wide and plump, with huge arm muscles that rippled under his too small tee shirt. His tiny, piggy eyes roamed over me, probably deciding whether or not I was a threat. I raised my eyebrows and smirked defiantly at him, as if to say "Oh, yeah? Come and get it then!" He looked away.

"So, are you going to introduce yourselves or what?" I said. The blonde sat up, and lazily swung his legs off the seat. Like me, he already had his Slytherin house robes on.

"This is Goyle and Pansy. Crabbe's gone to get us some food off the cart. And I'm Malfoy. Draco Malfoy." I snorted.

"Was that supposed to sound impressive?" I teased, smirking at the headstrong boy. It was obvious he had been the 'leader of the pack' up until now. He looked disorientated.

"Not really…" he said self-consciously.

"Shame, 'cos it was." I grinned at him and stuck out my hand for him to shake. "I'm Samii. Samii Madison."

"Hello, Samii, Samii Madison," he replied, taking my hand. His bravado had miraculously returned. His grip was firm and manly, and a small smile played on his lips. "So… what brings you to Hogwarts? I didn't see you around last year."

"No, just got transferred from Durmstrang. My mother and I agreed it was best. That school is really going down the crapper. Did you know, when Karkaroff got arrested, they replaced him with Fudge? As if that old prat didn't have enough to do stalking Scrimgeour begging for his old job back!" I scowled. The other three however look very impressed.

"Durmstrang?" repeated Draco, sounding interested. "I considered going there, but father said if Hogwarts was good enough for the Dark Lord, it's good enough for me."

"Plus you'd have to shave your head," I added with a smile. He looked insulted.

"They couldn't make me."

He was wrong, but I shrugged, deciding not to argue. "Perhaps. So what, are you two mutes, then?" I asked Goyle and Pansy, who hadn't spoken since I'd been there. They looked at each other. Pansy looked torn between anger and embarrassment, and Goyle just looked confused.

"We don't have to talk to you!" Pansy said finally.

"Don't mind her," Draco interrupted. "She's just shy, and a bit obnoxious if I'm honest. As for Goyle, sometimes I wonder whether he actually understands English. It's a miracle he even got into Hogwarts."

I smirked. This was going to be a fun year.
