Dancing With A Dark Girl

My name is Darkness. Actually thats just my nickname. Its what my so called friends call me. Used to call me. My real name is Darcalla. Darcalla Absynth. You can see where the Darkness nickname came from.
Ive been attending Hogwarts since I was a first year. A freshman. I dont have any real friends here in Slytherin. I forgot to mention that didnt I. Im in Slytherin. I dont have any real friends. Sure there are people here who talk to me. And walk with me. Eat breakfast with me. But they arent my friends. Theyre posers.
I dont know what I did to deserve this.
When I was little my dad abused me all the time. He would hit me and make me do chores. I spent alot of time on my hand and knees scrubbing floors.
My mom didnt abuse me but she neglected me. Even when she saw my dad hit me. Shed just turn away and pretend it didnt happen. Then she would yell. At me. For making him angry.
Now theyre both dead. They killed eachother. I guess they somehow thought that it was romantic. A double suicide. Like a twisted Romeo and Juliet.
Leaving me all alone.
Luckily I was accepted into Hogwarts.
Or at least I thought it was lucky.
I hate it here. Half the people hate me and the other half pretends to love me. They say theyll do anything for me. I know theyre lying.
I dream of blood and death every single night. Then I wake up crying. The girls in my room say comforting things but they whisper about me later when they think I'm asleep.
It makes me want to start to kill.
I looked around the ballroom. It wasnt really the ballroom but actually the dinner hall of Hogwarts. It was all decked out for the ball. Today was the sixth years ball. Kind of like a junior prom for wizards. I didnt have a date. I had been hoping I could fall back on Hermione in case I couldnt get a date. But she went with Seamus of all people. Even Ron had a date. Neville set him up with Luna.
I felt very alone during the couples dance. I looked around the ballroom. I saw one other person standing alone.
She had long raven black hair. She was standing with Draco Malfoy. He was obviously bugging her to dance with him.
She was the most beautiful girl I had ever seen.
Finally he walked away from her in a huff.
I walked over to her.
"Hello" I said.
"Hello" she said carefully batting her creamy brown eyes.
"I'm Harry" I said.
"I'm Darkness" she said. I thought that sounded like a strange name. I didnt say so.
"Cool. Want to dance?" I asked.
She said "Yes".
So I started to dance with Harry Potter. I knew Id be beated up. For being a Slytherin dancing with the hated Harry Potter.
But I didnt care.
I didnt even like him but I could tell he had been instantly in love with me. Thats what they all do.
But I didnt care.
All I wanted was to dance. To stare into that boys deep green eyes and forget about the feelings that make me want to kill.
Maybe I wont dream of death and blood tonight.
Maybe.
