I don't own any characters and settings in this story (except my OC's) other wise they all belong J.K Rowling.
Chapter 1
Mia's eyes wandered to the front of the classroom. It was the second week back at Hogwarts and she already felt the urge to jump off the Astronomy Tower. The amount of work she was already given made her feel like the past years spent at this school were all but a waste of time, and as she thought back to the previous years, she wondered how she had managed to make it this far without locking herself up in a mental asylum.
Not that she would blame herself, who would believe her if she claims that she attends a school for witches and wizards. That she lives in an alternate universe, where everything revolved around the use of magic. Shaking her head from the ever-depressing thoughts, she allowed her mind to wander back to the past summer.
The time she spent with her unsuspecting muggle friend was refreshing to say the least. Kennedy Evonne had the body of a 16 year old but the mind of a 6 year old. Her less than innocent nature was what had kept them together through these tough times. Mia grinned as she thought of the inappropriate jokes Kennedy would come up with at the most inappropriate times. Although despite Kennedy's lack of politeness she had one unique feature that made her special from everyone who attended Hogwarts with Mia.
Kennedy was a trustworthy person. Any secret she was told, she made it her life mission to keep it one. When asked about it she would simply reply in a sly voice, "My lips are sealed," she would then proceed to skip away with a spring to her step, while her blonde curls bounced enthusiastically around her head as if her hair simply consisted of small, shrunken slinkies.
One problem resulted from this was that she had grown to be very gullible. When told something, she would immediately believe it with no questions asked. The trust she put in everyone around her was charming, but not when it had the potential risk of endangering her life at times. Mia was just scared that this annoying feature in her would one day get her in trouble and that she wouldn't be around to save her.
Mia visibly shuddered before shaking the haunting thoughts from her mind. She bought her attention to the chubby teacher at the front of the classroom, only to notice that the entire class was staring at her with wide gazes. She heard someone snickering at the back of the room when she realized that the teacher had probably asked her a question.
"Um, I apologize I wasn't listening, would you mind repeating?" Her voice echoed around the tense classroom.
The fat man nodded slowly but not before shooting her an annoyed look at having to repeat himself. "Miss, if you are not capable of listening in this class then you should maybe consider dropping this subject since we will be mostly focusing on the theoretical side of this subject this year." His voice purposely deepening at the word "dropping" in order to emphasize the dislike of having her present in his classroom.
It was as if all her female hormones had suddenly started to kick in, the anger grew with every word he said. Mia just smiled and replied with an equally arrogant voice, "Excuse me sir, but I apologize that your class was so agonizingly boring that my brain had to find ways of distracting itself from processing the words that you're nasally voice shouts out to the class. I mean, it's not as if the class can't hear you, oh no, you have to go ahead and have the entire castle suffer from you're god awful voice that makes my ear bleed occasionally."
The entire class was staring at her, with mixed emotions. Amusement, shock, humour and some dismay. It was no surprise for Mia to act the way she did, but to some it was a curse since she was the reason she lost them so many house points.
The teacher was taken aback at her outburst, but soon sniffed like the pig he was and shot a smug smile to Mia before announcing to the class her detention on Friday evening.
Mia just stared at him wide eyed, while her fellow classmates snickered at her dismay. Mia was quick to regain herself as she sent a viscous glare to the man. Opening her mouth, she prepared a number of insults, that was sure to make Kennedy proud, but unfortunately the sound of her colourful language was cut off by the ringing alarm of the bell, signaling the end of their class.
Huffing to herself, Mia stood up and gathered her belongings. Grabbing her inkpot with such haste caused her to drop the clutter of quils that she held in her other hand. Mumbling insults under her breath, Mia crouched down to pick them up. One of her hands reached down to grab one when a hand with perfectly manicured nails seemed to grab it first. Mia was so intrigued by the pale porcelain skin of the hand that she barely had time to look up before it was gone.
"I thought that was brave." The hushed whisper of the voice sent a delightable shiver down Mia's spine. The quil was gently placed in Mia's hand but with graceful haste. By the time Mia noticed the quil in her hand, the mysterious person had all but disappeared from the classroom leaving no evidence behind.
Mia noticed that she was alone in the classroom and that no one was there to witness the small event. She allowed herself to let out a breath that she hadn't realized she was holding. The up lift of the corners of her mouth were small and barely noticeable, but still existent.
Her robes swished around her being as she stood up and stuffed the rest of her belongings in her red leather satchel and hurried outside the classroom.
Later that night Mia made her way down to the great hall for dinner. As soon as she entered the scent of mouthwatering food wafted up into her nose, she inhaled deeply as she sat down savouring the delicious smell. Quickly pouring herself some pumpkin juice, she grabbed the closest plate and filled it up with the variety of choices. She started shoveling the food into her mouth, halfway through her paranoia shield acted up as the hairs at the ends of her neck stood up. Her body froze, and the spoon clattered from her hand to the table.
Feeling like 2 large holes were being burnt into the back of her head, she swiftly turned around determined to find the creepy culprit. But as her gaze swept down and up the hall, she couldn't seem to locate anyone who was even remotely looking her way. Sighing, she turned around to continue eating and the feeling of being watched never left her.
Once she was done, she hurried out of the hall and wandered back up to the Gryffindor Tower. Only when she was in the comfort of her dorm, did she allow herself to relax and think.
Throwing herself down on the comfortable mattress, sending ripples through the fluffy duvet. Kicking off her school shoes, she pulled her legs up on the mattress and folded it underneath her. Loosening her tie and hairband, unbuttoning her shirt and pushing her skirt down her waist. The skirt shimmied down and pooled around her ankles, she wrapped the skirt around one ankle and kicked it off to the other side of the room. This left her in her black shorts and black undershirt. Her thoughts drifted off to the events that occurred earlier that day.
Who was it? The person who had helped earlier. Then proceeded to compliment her. It wasn't the fact that the person complimented her, that surprised Mia. It was the fact that the compliment itself was innocent, yet held such a seductive undertone that whispered promises of dark mysteries and secrets.
It drove Mia insane just to think about it. How such a simple compliment could hold such promises, was beyond Mia's knowledge. But one thing that Mia did know was that she loved it, she loved how it allowed her mind to delve into the dark places, and places she's never been to before.
Her eyelids slid shut as she reminisced the brief touch of the smooth lips that brushed against the edges of her ear. Her soft whisper tickling her ears, sending a tingle of warmth down to her stomach.
She ran her hands through midnight black hair, the dark, inky tendrils farming her heart shaped face. She crawled under the warmth of her duvet and surrendered her mind to the invading darkness.
This is my first real fanfiction in a real long time! (emphasis on the 'real') This is mostly going to include OC's and very little characters from the books. Though I'll try to include them as much as I can. Please rate and review.
