Ch.1 the Very Random First Evening of Seventh Year
"Another year at Hogwarts, joy!" Cali Said to her mother sarcastically. She loved Hogwarts to death, just not the Hogwarts Death Eater. She had some great friends but they would be severely frowned upon by her mother and father, if they knew. That stupid Draco Malfoy, he makes me want to murder people. Namely himself.
Cali and her family, like the Malfoys', were purebloods. Cali didn't care about that though. She knew there was more to life than blood. If she had had the choice, Cali would have chosen to be a Muggle.
"Come now, Cali." Her mother sweetly replied as she kissed her daughter's forehead. "It is your last year. Surely it will be exciting. You never know what is in store for you."
Cali slumped off to the train wishing dearly for a compartment alone. As luck would have it, she got one. Once inside she closed the curtains and sat down. She pulled out a book Hermione had lent her. She began to read. Ah! Finally some quiet reading! No mother and father to disrupt.
About ten minutes later and several pages into the book the compartment door slid open. Cali looked up to see none other than, Draco Malfoy. The git himself!
"What do you want, Malfoy?" she questioned irritably. Why was it I who discovered his damned secret. Not that it was that huge of a secret, but still.
"Oh nothing, Calico." He said arrogantly and chuckled. The stupid prick just had to make fun of the fact that my hair is calico colored. Dumb prat. He'd been calling her calico like she was some cat since he discovered it. "It's just see this happens to be MY compartment."
Cali scoffed and " As if! Go find another one." As she spoke her eyes drifted back towards her book. Hoping he would leave her in peace, she began to read.
Draco, however, being a Malfoy simply could not let that happen. "I don't think I will. Maybe I'll just stay in here with you."
Cali glared angrily at him. This stupid git is always ruining my day. Even in the summer her parents forced over to his house because their mothers were best friends. Sometimes purebloods made her want to gag. Why do I even keep his secret? He was supposed to leave me alone in turn for my silence.
"Why on the face of the planet would you do that?" again she asked irritably. Cali really wanted him to leave.
"Because I know exactly how it annoys you." He sneered back cruelly.
" You're an obnoxious Git!" she yelled at him haughtily. He smirked having gotten under skin as planned. Cali also smirked knowing exactly how to counter him. She simply ignored him.
Crabbe and Goyle joined him soon afterwards. They weren't a problem for Cali. In first year they got on the wrong side of her. She hexed them so terribly they were out of actually classes for a month. It still satisfied her to see them squirm if she even raised her wand and inch in their presence.
Cali read throughout the train ride as Malfoy unsuccessfully tried to get at her again. Cali had mastered the game of Ignorance. Considering her parents were Death Eaters. This was extremely easy for her; Malfoy on the other hand was quite frustrated.
After hours of Draco's attempted evilness, the train arrived. Cali sighed thank fully and leapt from the compartment. I will not be sharing a carriage with that blond haired lunatic, She thought as she ran from the train.
Cali was successful. She ended up in the same carriage as Ron, Hermz, Harry and Ginny. She looked around just to make sure and sighed.
"Thank God!" she said more to herself than anyone else.
"Oh, Hello. Cali?" Harry said quite confusedly. "What was that about?"
Cali groaned, "Nothing just Malfoy being the complete prat he is, the entire way here." She rolled her eyes.
Hermione just smiled at her. Ron was too engaged with staring at her like a lost boy to notice their new guest. Ginny was pretending to sleep against Harry's arm.
The feast went as usual. Dumbledore made an introduction, the first years were sorted, and Dumbledore made a speech and the feast began. Cali shoveled food down her throat. She was absolutely starved from ignoring Draco.
Hermione and Ginny were laughing when Cali finally took a breather. She gave them the "what!" look.
Ron butted in to say "Eh, did you notice your eatin' like I usually do?" He then went back to shoveling his own food down his throat.
Cali rolled her eyes and continued to eat. Although she did eat a bit more eloquently. When they were done they headed off to the dorms. Parting at their usual spot, just like it were the middle of sixth or even first year. Hermione and Ginny hugged her.
"Cali" Hermione said severely. What have I done? I am going to get scolded and it's not even the first day of classes. "I don't have a clue what is going on but Malfoy is staring at you. Don't let him get you." She hugged her one more time with a nod and headed for the dungeons.
Just as she was to round the next corner Professor Dumbledore called out to her. "Miss Vera, do you mind a moment?" He motioned for Cali to come with him.
"Yes, Professor?" she asked as she walked with him.
"Well all of the teachers and I agree, the Sorting Hat put you in Slytherin for some reason. However, we all believe that, as long as you're alright with it, you should substitute for Harry on the Gryffindor team. Harry of course will be doing something at those times and has already agreed to this."
"Sir, I'd be honored, but I'm in Slytherin. Is this not against some rule?" Cali replied thoughtfully.
"Ah but are not rules made to be broken?" Dumbledore countered her question easily.
She shrugged and laughed. "Sure Professor I'll do it." With that she was dismissed and again headed for the dungeons. She smiled happily. I am going to play Quidditch, as seeker, AND possibly kick Malfoy's ass at it. Oh what a joy!
She continued happily humming to herself until someone shoved her. "Bloody Hell!" She yelled as she spun around. Cali decked Pansy Parkinson one. What does that stupid fat cow want with me?
"Ow" Pansy said whiningly, grabbing her nose "Just stay away from my Drakie-poo." She was obviously trying to threaten Cali.
Cali held back her laughter. "Sure, sure." Cali smiled. It would be easy to follow that order, albeit from Pansy Parkinson.
"You better…" Pansy warned and then stalked off.
Cali had a silent laugh and then continued on to the dungeons. She entered the commons to find Pansy trying to get somewhere with Draco. Poor Draco. Why did I just call him that?
Cali watched Pansy's attempts for several minutes before deciding to turn in. She went to her dormitory and lay down. It would be so freaking awesome to destroy Malfoy at Quidditch. She fell asleep with that thought.
