Magnolia: Without further ado, here is chapter 1!
Chapter 1
It was the night of December the 21st, Adelyn Odell's 1st birthday, when her family was attacked. They came in threes, always in threes, two men and a woman with marks on their skin. They were known as the Bringers of Discord and they had been planning this attack for months now. It started with a fire, a roaring fire that spread throughout the family house, bringing death to Alexa and Martin Odell. Their goal was simple: steal the twin daughters of Alexa and Martin Odell. What they didn't expect was to come face to face with Order of the Phoenix members. In the end, they only managed to kidnap Adelyn and the Order got her sister, Silvia Odell.
. . .
There was a soft clicking sound as someone opened the door to the train compartment. The figure stepped in, female by the looks of it. The compartment was completely empty but the figure didn't seem to mind. Soft foot steps were heard as the figure made its way towards the end of the compartment. Nothing happened for a few moments, suddenly there was a sharp cracking sound and what seemed like the girl's luggage appeared beside her. The girl didn't seem surprised at all, like she had been expecting that to happen. The girl reached out towards the top of the luggage, where a beautifully groomed barn owl was nesting. The owl was stunning with long, tawny gold feathers and onyx black eyes that seemed to hold an intelligence above its species. The girl stroked the owl's feathers softly, cooing gently in a quiet whisper.
The compartment door creaked open again and the girl's distinctive green eyes widened in surprise. Nobody ever dared to enter a compartment when she was in it. A blonde boy sauntered in proudly, followed by what seemed like his bodyguards. The boy himself was quite handsome, with an aura of confidence that commanded respect. His two bodyguards however, were a different case. Both were large, with broad, dumb looking faces, they seemed to worship everything the blonde boy did. The boy immediately saw the older girl sitting in the corner, even though she was well hidden by the shadows.
"I'm Draco Malfoy," the boy stated, extending a pale hand out towards the girl. The older girl eyed him warily for a few seconds before grasping his hand and shaking it.
"I'm Adelyn, Adelyn Hayden." And thus, started the odd but comforting friendship between Adelyn Haden and Draco Malfoy.
. . .
A girl with light brown hair walked along the train in search of an empty compartment. She held two books to her chest and smiled lightly at everyone she passed. Upon finding an empty compartment she walked in and left the door open behind her. She sat down by the window with all intention of reading till they got to the castle when a girl with bushy brown hair walked in.
"You haven't seen a toad, have you? A boy named Neville lost one," the bushy haired girl asked. The girl with light brown hair shook her head and smiled politely.
"No, sorry," she said placing her books on her lap and holding onto them as if for dear life.
"I'm Hermione Granger, what books are those?" Hermione asked sitting beside the girl. The girl wasn't at all disturbed by the unexpected proximity but instead handed over her books with an air of pride.
"I'm Silvia, Silvia Odell. They're just various books on Potions. Professor Snape is very adamant about his studies and I want to pass this year," Silvia explained.
"You're an older student, aren't you?" Hermione asked. Silvia nodded and smiled broadly.
"Yes, I am. Are you a first year?" Silvia inquired. Hermione nodded enthusiastically and that is how an advantageous friendship was forged between Silvia Odell and Hermione Granger.
. . .
They chatted for a while, her and Draco. Draco's two bodyguards, Crabbe and Goyle, didn't say much, they occasionally grunted though. When the kind lady with the food cart passed by, Draco bought almost half the cart. He smiled when Adelyn asked why.
"To share with friends of course," Draco answered smoothly, passing her some chocolate frogs. A small, almost invisible smile graced Adelyn's lips. They ate the sweets in a compatible silence until Draco suddenly stood up, brushing the crumbs off his expensive robes.
"Are you coming?" Draco asked Adelyn, while motioning for Crabbe and Goyle to follow. The two did of course, they followed Draco's commands without hesitance.
Adelyn raised an eyebrow but she stood up and followed. They walked into another train compartment. Adelyn didn't see anything special about it, that was, until she spotted the boy sitting at the back. The scar on his forehead was enough of an answer to why Draco wanted to come here.
Draco stated what Adelyn already knew. The boy with the scar was Harry Potter, the boy who lived. Draco made some sneering comment to the young red haired boy sitting beside Harry Potter. Adelyn recognized him as a Weasley immediately, he looked a lot like his older brothers. The boy's face flushed a red much like his hair. Harry replied to something Draco had said and Draco flushed a light pink. Adelyn, suddenly feeling a protective urge, gazed coldly at the two younger boys. The Weasley boy seemed frightened and he paled considerably, it didn't suit his hair or freckles. Harry Potter, however, met Adelyn's gaze steadily with his own. A silent glaring contest issued between them before a smirk graced Adelyn's features. This boy had guts. That was for sure. Never before in all her years at Hogwarts had a younger student dare look her straight in the eyes.
Draco and Harry verbally clashed once more before Goyle grabbed some of the chocolate frogs beside Harry and the Weasley boy. The large, bulky boy let out an ear piercing yell. Adelyn's emerald green eyes shot towards Goyle and saw that a rat, which she hadn't noticed before was currently chomping on his knuckles.
Adelyn, sensing it was time to leave, promptly turned around and left the compartment. Draco and his goons were smart enough to follow her.
. . .
Hermione and Silvia had been chatting when they heard a commotion outside of their compartment. Hermione immediately stood up and went in search of the commotion, Silvia followed in sheer curiosity. Who was already getting into a fight? She followed Hermione into the next compartment where a dark haired boy and a redhead boy were sitting. Silvia had to hide the gasp that almost escaped her as she realized who the dark haired boy was. She had heard stories of him from her guardian. It was rather tragic in her opinion but then so was her story.
Hermione asked what was going on and the boys seemingly ignored her as the redhead boy went on about his rat. Silvia couldn't help but roll her eyes. Honestly, boys! Then the redhead turned to Hermione and asked her what she was doing there. Silvia glared at the boy for his rudeness. Hermione was unperturbed by his rudeness and commented that they should put their robes on for they were nearing the castle. With that, Hermione and Silvia left the compartment, but not before Harry Potter looked at Silvia curiously to which she stared back.
Once back to Silvia's compartment, she apologized to Hermione for the way they treated her but Hermione shrugged it off. Silvia handed her books to Hermione while she put on her school robes, Hermione already had hers on. Silvia sat down and looked out the window as they neared the station. Hermione was chattering happily about all the books she read while Silvia thought about what the year would bring.
. . .
Draco seemed very happy when he saw the Slytherin badge pinned onto Adelyn's dark robes. Adelyn raised an eyebrow.
"It seems, you like Slytherin?" Adelyn questioned, amused. She already knew what Draco's answer was going to be.
Draco nodded his head, a smile on his face. He looked a lot more friendly and less cruel with a smile, Adelyn noticed.
They arrived at Hogwarts soon enough. Draco made his way towards Hagrid, the abnormally large man that Adelyn knew but had never spoken to.
"Good luck. Hope you get into Slytherin," Adelyn whispered into Draco's ear before heading towards one of the carriages. Adelyn smiled to herself as she stepped into the carriage, it seems like this year won't be so lonely after all.
. . .
Silvia watched as Hermione walked off in the direction of Hagrid. Hermione had seen Silvia's Ravenclaw badge and asked happily about her house. Silvia was more than happy to talk about the houses. Hermione wanted to be in either Gryffindor or Ravenclaw and secretly Silvia hoped she would be in Ravenclaw. Silvia was thinking this as she stepped into a carriage. Silvia realized too late that she wasn't alone. Adelyn Hayden was sitting in the carriage and Silvia knew how the girl liked to sit alone but before she could jump off the carriage it started moving.
"Sorry, I know how you like to be alone," Silvia apologized righting herself as the carriage moved at a fast pace. Adelyn regarded Silvia with an air of curiosity and mild annoyance.
"It's fine. You didn't know I was already in this one," Adelyn replied, her voice was friendly but her eyes only held a type of coldness that made you want to run and hide . However, for Adelyn to speak in a kind voice was quite rare too. Silvia smiled shyly and nodded not sure of what to say now that Adelyn was being kind. Silvia always regarded the girl as mean but maybe she was wrong.
"Are you looking forward to the school year?" Silvia asked.
"More like I'm looking forward to Quidditch. It's been a long time since I flew." Adelyn replied, her eyes analyzing Silvia. The brown haired girl shifted uncomfortably under Adelyn's sharp gaze. They spent the rest of the carriage ride in a somewhat awkward silence, with Silvia occasionally saying a thing or two. Finally, Silvia said something that caught Adelyn's interest.
"What electives are you choosing?" Silvia questioned, hoping to break the silence that hung over them like a thick wool blanket.
"Arithmancy, Study of Ancient Runes, and Care of Magical Creatures. You?" Adelyn listed off the top of her head.
"I'm taking the same!" Silvia answered, happy that she'd finally gotten Adelyn to speak again. Their conversation fizzled out again, but this time both were smiling. The silence didn't last long though, the carriages had just arrived at Hogwarts.
Adelyn left first, stepping off the steps of the carriage gracefully. "It was a pleasure to talk to you." She said, Silvia could hear the sincerity in her voice.
Silvia jumped off soon after, she made her way towards some of her fellow Ravenclaw friends. They greeted her happily, as always.
The feast was delicious as usual. Adelyn allowed a grin to appear on her face when Draco got sorted into Slytherin. Her grin widened even more when he sat down beside her, Crabbe and Goyle on his other side.
They returned to the Slytherin common room. "Green Snake" was the password, which Adelyn found quite fitting. Inside, everything was decorated in shades of silver and green, everything else was black. Draco bid her good night before heading towards the boys dorm.
Adelyn headed towards her emerald green bed, her wooden trunk was already there. Adelyn opened it and grabbed the book on the very top. It's pitch black cover was worn and tattered, faded golden letters spelled Beating the Bludger by Demelia Arellano Adelyn hugged the book tightly. She placed it back in her trunk carefully, like it was an important artifact. Adelyn then retreated to bed.
