THE GIRL WITH VIOLET EYES

CHAPTER 1: BLAIR

"Who's that?"

Felix jabbed Scorpius Malfoy in the stomach and pointed towards the Ravenclaw table. A girl was standing there, but there was something odd about her… She had blue ribbons dangling down the sides of her head, twisting in and out of her dark brown hair. When she turned around Scorpius saw her huge, glazed-over eyes and he found himself catching his breath. Her eyes were unnaturally violet and strange. She looked right at him and cocked her head to one side and then continued to walk down the Ravenclaw table, looking for a seat.

Scorpius was confused. Every other girl in Hogwarts would've been smiling like mad if he even breathed in their direction but this girl almost completely ignored him. He was just a little insulted.

"A weird one, that girl," Felix said.

Scorpius, still staring after the mysterious girl, said rather distractedly, "Yea. Weird."

Shaking his head, Scorpius followed Felix down the Slytherin table and out into the Great Hall. He was still thinking of that girl even as they reached the common room. He had no idea what was in store for him this year.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Six days later on a chilly Saturday morning, the mysterious girl caught Scorpius's gaze once again. He had seen her during class (she was in his Transfiguration class), though he had never once talked to her, afraid of what the other Slytherins might think.

He looked back at his books, blowing in the wind. He had always been a bit of a bookworm, though if asked he would always deny it. Today he was reading Cauldrons and Catastrophes, a book about a young wizard and all of his magical adventures.

"Hello." Scorpius looked up and saw two big violet eyes staring at him. "I'm Blair."

Scorpius's eyes hardened out of habit. "What do you want?"

She cocked her head and smiled at him. The ribbons in her hair were green today. Scorpius noticed that a few locks of her hair were dyed different colors. "There's a hugalump flying around your head."

Her gaze was floating somewhere about Scorpius's head. "A what?"

"A hugalump. They're tiny creatures that float in the air around people's heads. You're very lucky that they've chosen to surround you," she turned her violet gaze on him. "They make great pets."

Scorpius didn't know what to make of this. "You're mental."

She cringed then and pulled back. "No I'm not," she whispered before running off, tears in her eyes.

"What a nutter," Scorpius muttered under his breath as he walked back toward the castle. His thoughts were filled with her great violet eyes. He was so distracted that he ran into someone on accident.

"Get out of the way!" He snapped.

"Sheesh, Scor, no need to be nasty!" He looked up to find Daisy Plum, a Slytherin in his year. She was a close friend of the Malfoy family – her mother, Pansy, having gone to school with Scorpius's father – and the two had often spent the holidays together.

"Daisy," Scorpius nodded.

She glared at him before moving on. Scorpius had never really cared for the girl too much; she was a little too Slytherin.

Scorpius sighed before moving on. He was so excited to be in Slytherin for his first year, but after that it got rather annoying. All they ever talked about was how their whole entire family was pureblood. It got old after a while.

He continued to walk, still distracted by Blair's eyes… She was strange, that girl, going on about things that didn't exist. Scor wondered what her problem was.

He stopped when he reached his favorite spot in the castle. It was a window seat, pretending to be a wall. He had stumbled upon it when someone shoved him into the wall. He had quickly hexed them, of course, but was strangely glad that they had shoved him, allowing him to find the seat.

Scorpius sat, concealed behind the wall, and stared out the window. He could see Blair in the grounds, dancing by herself next to the lake. He watched her for a while, mesmerized by her. Once, it even looked like she was staring right at him, her head cocked to the side as it had been when she had talked to him earlier. He had been so hypnotized by those big violet eyes…

He looked away from the girl, opting to look over his text book instead. His brain barely processed the words as he read. Sighing, he gave up and threw the book aside.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A week later, Scorpius had another encounter with Blair. He was walking down the hallway, shoving people away as he went, when she appeared in front of him. She was hugging her books to her chest, humming softly as she walked. He stopped to watch her.

She didn't look at him, though many other girls did. Blair just continued to walk, heading toward whatever class she had next, but Scorpius stood, transfixed, watching her go.

Just then he felt an elbow in his stomach. "Coming, mate?" Felix asked him.

"Yea," he said, turning away from the retreating girl. "Let's go."
