This is my first published fanfiction so give your honest opinions. Any bold italics are a characters thoughts. There will be more of other characters in later chapters, and if I get something wrong from the book, like a potion or spell, please do not freak out on me. Let me know what I'm doing wrong and advice would be awesome! Thxn! And if something does not make sense it will most like be explained latter. Promise! And if you don't know already, I do not own Harry, or Draco, or anything/one from the books. I do own the new character and her parents. That is it sadly. ~C
A blue eyed girl climbed up on the train on platform 9 and ¾. She walked up and down until she found an empty car. While she placed her owl on the seat and her luggage up a boy walked in. His hair was so blonde it seemed white. The boy snuck up behind her and said "Hey! This is my car. Get out!" The blue eyed girl didn't jump at his appearance. She turned around and put her hand out to the boy.
"Hello Draco Malfoy." She said "Nice to meet you."
"How do you know who I am?" Draco said stunned. He didn't extend his hand to shake hers so she merely sat down. He sat across from her, eyeing her suspiciously.
"Your hair is a dead give away. That and your luggage tags." She said with a small smile. Draco looked at his luggage and wanted to growl. His mother had put his name on both sides in large silver letters. He looked to the strange girl's luggage but saw no name anywhere. With his anger rising he spat his next words, "And who might you be?"
"Crystal." She said and looked out in to the hallway. "Looks like we won't be alone on the ride to Hogwarts." Two other students joined them.
"Hey, I'm Blaise" said the new boy.
"Pansy." Said the girl with him. Introductions where made, the train began to move, and Pansy began to ramble on about some new potions store made based on the Slytherin house. She was naming some of the new ingredients. "They even make a potion that turns you into anyone else! Its name is Pep Juice"
"You mean Polyjuice. The one that requires a hair of the one you wish to take form of." Interrupted Crystal.
"Excuse me!" said Pansy, who began to fume.
"I have a book with it in it in my bag. Would you like to see? The polyjuice takes a month to make." With every word Crystal spoke Pansy became redder and redder.
Suddenly Draco piped in "Never contradict a future slytherine. I bet you're a mudblood aren't you? Just like that Granger girl I ran into earlier." He spat. "Filthy blood is what you have isn't it!"
Crystal's sweet nature faded in the blink of an eye. She wiped out her wand and aimed it at his throat. "Never call her that name again! No I am not a pure blood by your definitions. But nor am I a of non-magical parents." Her eyes locked onto Draco's. "Your parent's blood may run through you, but it never makes you who you are." Suddenly, Crystal sat up straight and put her wand into her robe. Just as Draco was about to ask her what she meant the train come to a sudden halt. The blue eyed girl grabbed her luggage and black owl before walking out onto the platform without another glance towards the other three. They sat in confusion for a moment before joining the other first years in greeting Haggred.
"Harry Potter!" Ms. McGonagall bellowed. The Great Hall fell into uncomfortable silence as a young boy walk up to the sorting hat. Everyone cheered as he was placed in Gryffindor. No one paid attention to the little blue eyed girl in the back of the group of first years. Soon all but one was called.
"Crystal Blood!" The little blue eyed girl with brown wavy hair walk up to the hat with a small smile on her lips. Crystal sat down and let the professor place the hat on her. As the great hall waited to hear what house she was to be put in, the Slytherins started snickering.
"A ravenclaw no doubt!" said the snooty Pansy. "She was acting like a know it all on the train!"
"No she's definitely a hufflepuff" Crabbe said. "She was sweet to everyone, even Draco."
"Yes but she stood up for herself when Draco started to tease her" Blaise said "She'll be another bloody Gryffindor"
Draco just watched her with curious eyes. She held herself like he did, sturdy and unmoving. "She isn't a pure blood so she isn't qualified to be one of us" He spat, forcing his eyes to his friends.
The room fell silent once again. The hat still hadn't spoke. And still she sat there perfectly still with a small smile on her face. "What's going on? The hat never takes this long to make a decision!" said a seventh year after another few minutes passed. Draco looked over at Crystal again, and found her starring right back at him. Noticing that their eyes where locked, Crystal grinned. Draco was mesmerized by her eyes, which were a sky blue earlier but now a dark blue like an ocean. She seemed to nod, only once and broke the eye contact.
"Slytherin!" the hat bellowed at last. No one spoke as Crystal walked to her table. Both students and staffed sat in a confused trance. The only available seat was next to Draco and she took it without a word. The students and staff were still shocked when finally, after composing himself, Dumbledore said "Let the feast begin!"
Food appeared from nowhere on the tables. Crabbe, Gole, and Blaise dug in immediately. Pansy, attempting to keep her figure, ate like a mouse. Nibbling on the fruits and veggies. Crystal looked about the food, picked up a leg of some sort of meat, and began to devour it. Unlike the boys, she was fast at eating, but a lot cleaner at it. Before long she had eaten two legs and some peas. She began munching on carrots when Draco finally spoke.
"So, Crystal, who are your folks." He asked. Crystal saw he was prying for information, but she still spoke without hesitation.
"Sorron Blood and Marie Feathers, and yes, a Slytherin pureblood and a Ravenclaw half-blood." She answered his next question before it came out of his mouth.
"What's in your wand?" Pansy asked.
"Dragon heartstring core with rosewood."
"Oh" Blaise said unimpressed.
"The heartstring supposedly came from a hatchling and the rosewood from a fallen tree." She took a sip from her water. "Its not very powerful I guess but it's mine. The wands choose the wizards. Remember?" She chuckled like it was an inside joke.
"Why do you think the hat put you in Slytherin?" Goyle asked bluntly.
Crystal merely grinned and Draco swore here eyes became a darker blue. Before someone could question her grin, Dumbledore released the students to go to their dorms. Crystal glanced at Draco who had been starring at her. She winked at him and smiled when he blinked in confusion.
Draco Malfoy is an interesting boy. This is going to be fun. I'm glad the hat finally decided to put me here after he took his time to look into my mind. I still can't believe he couldn't decide. He kept mumbling: "smart as a raven, brave as a lion, loyal as a badger, cunning as a snake…. Where do you belong?" I believe he put me in this house because when I looked at Draco, I could see all my revenge plans playing out in my head. Definitely a good choice. Others don't need to know my snake side. Or the fact that my wand is really 11 inches of the Whomping Willow's wood with black scales from the Hungarian Horntail Dragon and Thestral tail hair. Draco keeps starring at me like I'm a freak though. I can change that easily enough. First, I'll have to break a Malfoy. Not a hard task. She got up and headed for the exit. She looked back once and saw Draco starring at her yet again. Not a hard task at all. She thought.
If anyone is confused on what Crystal tells Draco on the train she means that just because Draco is his father's son it doesn't mean he must follow the same path as a death eater. Right now Draco does not get he underline meaning but he will in the future and it will make more sense than.
