Chapter: 1
(AN: I don not own any characters except for Crystal Clearwater!
Crystal description: Brown hair, gray eyes)
Crystal woke up from her sleep, she was in her Ravenclaw common room. The draping in her room was blue, and it caused the room to sit in darkness even though it was eight in the morning. Crystal was sitting up in a four-poster bed, with blue curtains surrounding her. That was the thing Crystal liked about being in Ravenclaw, they were treated like royalty for their wisdom, etc.
Crystal slip the curtains open and stepped onto the cold floor of her Ravenclaw common room. A couple of the girls in the room were still sleeping, like Cho Chang one of the girls Crystal despised most in Ravenclaw. Crystal and Cho didn't have any problems, they just had different views on society that Crystal could never agree with.
Crystal and Cho were the prettiest in Ravenclaw and yet the smartest. Of course Crystal was more vain, she had heart and she had a good amount of confidence that people adored. She always wondered why she was placed in Ravenclaw instead of Gryffindor, but it was the Sortings Hat's choice, not hers.
Crystal was also the loneliest in Ravenclaw because most of her real friends were in Gryffindor, like Harry, Hermione, and Ron. Including her boyfriend Cormac Mclaggen.
Crystal smiled at the thought of seeing Cormac, he is a year ahead of Crystal. Right now Crystal is in her fourth year, and Cormac is in his fifth. She was so excited to see him that she got up and ran for her bathroom, as she ran down the steps she bumped into Luna Lovegood, that weird blonde girl that had a thing for nargles.
"Oh," Luna sighed in her sing-song voice. "I'm terribly sorry about that, I was sleep walking."
Who sleeps walk at eight in the morning? Crystal thought.
"Oh it's fine Luna, really, but it was actually my fault because I was running." Crystal gave Luna a sly smile and tried to walk away before Luna decided to speak again.
"Crystal?" Luna said.
Luna is one of the sweetest girls in Ravenclaw, she was a bit crazy, but Crystal didn't mind. What was life without a little crazy?
"Yeah Luna,"
"You and your boyfriend seem to be so happy together," She mused.
Crystal smiled. "Thanks."
"But I get the feeling that the nargles might be trying to split you apart."
These were the moments when Crystal wanted to slap Luna silly, but Crystal smiled, and walked away like a grown up.
Crystal brushed her teeth, and then she pulled on some clothes. Today was a free day, so there were no lessons or classes, and Crystal could be with Cormac all day.
She thought about what Luna had said, and she had a feeling that it was true, but she didn't want to listen to her gut, or crazy girls that believed in nargles.
Crystal walked out of the Ravenclaw common room, and she walked down the circular staircase. There were couples standing there kissing against walls, and Crystal tried not to look. She kept walking until she found Harry walking towards her.
One of her best friends.
"Hi Crystal," Harry said, he looked upset, and Crystal knew why. His dreams were getting worse.
"Hey Harry," Crystal said in her flirty voice. "What's up?"
"The students from Durmstrang and Beauxbatons should be here in an hour or two and Dumbledore wants everyone up and dressed."
Crystal began to walk down the staircase with Harry as they passed more couples, shoving their tongues down each other's throat.
"Well Dumbledore doesn't have to worry about me, cuz I'm already up," Crystal stated. "Have you seen Cormac?"
"Yeah, he's at breakfast with everyone else."
"Cool, let's go."
Crystal and Harry both walked into the hall, and there were a couple of kids eating breakfast. It wasn't crowded, and the teachers weren't sitting up front so Crystal was allowed to eat at the Gryffindor table.
When Crystal sat at the table with Harry, she didn't notice Cormac. Because he wasn't anywhere in sight. Crystal felt her heart sink, but she kept a smile.
Ron was eating food like the pig he was, and Hermione was next to him with disgust on her face.
"You don't know how to eat Ronald," She sounded exasperated.
"I'm hungry," Ron defended himself.
"When are you not hungry?" Crystal retorted, and everyone smiled.
Fred Weasley walked up behind Crystal and he grabbed her sides playfully. Crystal jumped up and screamed.
"Fred!" She screamed. "I can't believe your creepy ass would sneak up on me like that."
Fred smiled, and sat down next to Crystal.
"I enjoy watching you scream with pleasure," Fred laughed.
It didn't sound right.
"On what planet does that sound appropriate?" Crystal laughed.
"My planet."
"Freaky ass,"
Fred always had feelings for Crystal, even though she didn't know, but Crystal had her moments when she suspected that. Crystal always had a good time around Fred, they had never gotten into an argument once in her four years at Hogwarts, which was a good thing.
"So Harry tell me about your dreams," Hermione said.
Harry was extremely quiet and he wasn't touching his food.
"Are you going to eat that?" Ron pointed at Harry's plate. Harry shook his head, and pushed the plate over to Ron.
"You're still getting dreams?" Fred asked, he sounded shocked.
"Harry always has dreams," Crystal laughed.
"Well of course he does, who doesn't?"
"I don't." Ron cut in. "It's so boring."
"Ron shut up," Hermione snapped. "This isn't about you and your nonexistent dreams."
"Harry doesn't even wanna talk about his dreams," Ron shot back. "Leave him alone."
It got silent, and awkward.
"So did anyone see the game last night?" Fred asked.
"I can't believe it," Malfoy walked up. "I thought the Weasleys didn't have a TV to watch the game."
Fred's heart sank, as did Ron's.
"What a bunch of pathetic looking misfits." Malfoy snapped with Crabbe a Goyle on both sides, cracking their knuckles. "Weasleys who can't even afford leaves to wipe their ass, Granger who's nothing but a filthy little mudblood, Harry who wished he had parents, and Clearwater who's dumb enough to hang out with these losers even though she was put in Ravenclaw for smart people."
Harry got up with his fist ready, but Crystal got up too and held him back.
Malfoy backed up, with fear in his eyes, but he kept talking anyway.
"I don't know why you protect him Clearwater," Malfoy said. "Is that your new boyfriend? What happened to Cormac?"
"Cormac's not here smart-one," Crystal looked down. "So go away."
"Make me half-blood." Malfoy was testing her.
It was true, Crystal was a half-blood. Also known to purebloods as blood-traitors.
Crystal's nostrils flared.
"Look Malfoy," Fred was defending Crystal. "We were fine till you came along so can you take your group and walk away. It's too early for this."
"Whatever weasel," Malfoy sneered. "Your family doesn't scare me. You're just a bunch of clowns that aren't funny."
"And you're a gay fag with bleached white hair," Crystal snapped. "And who's supposed to be scared of you?"
Malfoy looked pissed, but then he walked away when Cormac tapped his shoulder.
Cormac.
He wrapped his muscular arm around Crystal and smiled awkwardly at Hermione, who turned her head away in disgust.
"Nice to see you all," He said. "Well, I'm just going to steal Crystal from you guys if you don't mind."
Fred looked upset. "We're good." He waved his hand at them to dismiss them, and Crystal could feel Cormac pulling her away from her friends.
And Fred.
