OOC; First of all I don't own Harry Potter, I wish I did but we all know it belongs to the wonderful JK. This chapter is quite short but its really just the prologue ;D Aurora and Sebastian are both my characters, so no stealing. The idea is also mine so if I find anyone stealing it I'll sword them like a fish =]
REVIEWS ARE MUCH APPRECIATED 3
"Who's that?"
"She can't be a first year..."
"She's so pretty!"
"Does she really attend Hogwarts?"
"Oh... she looks quite lonely..."
"Hello, my name is Lily Evans; you look a little lost..."
It was the voice of the red haired girl that lifted the blue eyes from the ground. She found herself looking into the greenest eye's she had seen; the girl looked pleasant, a little bookwormish perhaps. She had however, managed to block out the voices of the rest of the platform as she stood, her hand hovering gently over her suitcase. Aurora let her eyes scan over the girl, and she was aware that she was making her perhaps a little uneasy. Especially as this red haired girl, had her pale hand stuck out in front of her, Aurora guessed she should not make enemies so easily.
"Aurora Chamberlain." It was the only form of greeting she felt like giving. Don't get me wrong, Aurora was a pleasant girl, she was not particularly prejudice when it came to blood, but her parents were quite the opposite. She had never been one to make friends easily, and she was aware that voices followed her around. Up until her father had become associated with the death eaters, she had been living in France, hence her attendance to Beauxbatons for the past six years of her education, but her father had moved the family back to England in hopes of building up the family name in the ranks.
Reaching out a dainty hand she slipped it into the girls hand opposite her, she felt a sudden rush of warmth and kindness; it was something that she was not at all used to. Just as soon as her hand was grasped however, and the red haired girl opened her mouth to speak, Aurora felt an arm slip around her shoulders and yank her back away from the girl. Rory found herself nearly falling over her suitcase, and the arm around her shoulders removed, an icy glare moved to the person opposite her, and she swallowed the need to make some snide remark.
Next to her stood Sebastian Greengrass, their parents were friends and the two have been informed only weeks before, that they were to marry as soon as the school year was out. She had known the blonde haired boy since she was around five or six but she had never dreamt that one day she would be engaged to him, in fact the thought utterly repulsed her. "Really Aurora, do you want rumours following you around already?" Sebastian let out a hollow laugh and his hand slipped around the girls waist. Aurora could tell this was going to be an eventful year already, but she did not quite know yet how much so... "We don't talk to scum...Run along now mudblood you're infecting our air."
Oh the pompous pureblooded comments, they never could come up with anything original.
Lily scowled deeply at Sebastian, and Aurora felt a wave of pity rush toward the girl. However, before either of them could say a thing two boys had appeared from what seemed out of nowhere, and behind them trailed two other boys, perhaps slightly meeker than the two at the front. Aurora observed one of them looked as if he had just rolled out of bed, his hair sticking up in all angles, and glasses sat on the bridge of his nose, however she had to admit he looked wonderfully toned and perfectly good looking.
Just as her eyes moved to the other, his eyes met hers. Gray upon stormy blue. Even then, in that crowded train station, in the middle of what could become the first argument between Gryffindors and Slytherins of the year, they shared some kind of connection. Aurora felt her stomach jolt as if she'd just been thrown off a cliff, and this dark haired beauty could feel his heart beat speed up, even if it was just for a literal two seconds. Those two seconds seemed like the longest in her life, everything seemed to slow down in motion.
"Who got your wand in a knot Greengrass?" It was the boy with glasses who spoke, and Rory couldn't help but split a small smile, the tips of her lips lifting into something that was not a frown. "Fuck off Potter." The response came almost immediately afterwards. Sensing an argument about to set off, Aurora let out a deep sigh and sat down on top of her suitcase, a curtain of black hair falling over her shoulder, causing a few people to turn and look at her.
Aurora had always been a pretty girl, perhaps prettier than some of those others around and it was perhaps that which gained her more attention. Her mother was part Veela and perhaps that had been passed onto her somewhere deep down but she did not care. She was a relatively tall girl, standing at five foot seven at the age of seventeen, her eyes were a dark, stormy blue, they were covered by pitch black eyelashes and perfectly shaped eyelashes. Across her small button nose and high bone cheeks there were a few dotted freckles if you looked close enough, and her lips were perfectly plump and pinkish. Her hair was also long, reaching half way down her back if not longer, the front sweeping into a well cut side fringe. Her frame was thin, but well toned due to her love of quidditch and her daily runs.
She found that everyone in the small group had turned to look at her.
"Can I help any of you?" It was a brisk tone, and she found herself picking at the black nail polish upon her nails. It was not until a hand gripped the top of her arm and she was forced to stand that she stood. While Rory was full of spunk and spirit, when she was forced to do something she made no objection, especially when it came to the man she was going to marry. "Yes, you can accompany me to my compartment, I'll have someone put your trunk on the train. You've yet to meet my friends." It was with this comment that she was dragged away from the group of five.
Despite herself she let her head turn back and she shot a sympathetic, and apologetic glance at the red haired girl and the boy with glasses. It was a curious look that the other boy received, and she found herself wanting to know his name.
"Sebastian?"
"Yes?"
"Who were those two boys?"
She watched as he turned and shot a dirty look at their retreating figures. "The one with glasses was James Potter, a traitor to his own blood along with his parents. The other was Sirius Black. Don't waste your time on them."
"I wasn't planning on it." It was a lie, Aurora had a feeling that she would find some way of befriending the three of them. She had very little idea of course, as she boarded the train, and found herself seated in a compartment of Slytherins that those five people; Lily, James, Remus, Peter and most importantly Sirius would find their way into her heart.
They would change her.
Corrupt her.
So my dear friends, that is how Aurora Chamberlain and Sirius Black met. On a crowded platform in the mists of a budding argument, and the two would not speak again for nearly a month.
