Intro: (this is in third person, the rest will be in first person)

She was short with long, thick, black hair and hazel eyes that were more green and gold than brown. She had curves, but they were pleasantly offset by a narrow waist and graceful arms. She had great legs. Her facial features just screamed "defiance," she had a small nose with a bump in it, her eyebrows were high and arching, her eyes took up most of her face, and her small, full lips were always curved into this tiny half smile. She was incredibly smart and very talented with a wand. And she was a mudblood Ravenclaw, and damn proud of it. Her name was River Olivia Trife, she was the epitome of her house, the Ravenclaw princess.

And he, he was a pureblood Slytherin, through and through. He was average height, thin (you would never guess how toned he was if you had only seen him in his robes) and pale. His hair was shaggy and light blonde, his eyes a cold, silvery gray and his facial features were alarmingly, yet unusually, attractive. He had perfected the art of the sneer. His family was well known for centuries of hating mud bloods and being at the top of their classes. He was no exception. His name was Draco Lucius Malfoy, he was the epitome of his house, an absolute snake, the Slytherin prince.

The two of them despised each other. There were two people in the world he hated more than he hated her, and they were Potter and Granger. She hated no one like she hated him. This could have something to do with the easy way she fell into the Golden trio, or it could have something to do with the way he always called her an "insufferable, know it all, mud blood." She thought that because of this, she was perfectly justified in calling him a "cocky, son of a bitch, pureblood." The Golden trio, the Patil twins, Luna Lovegood, Neville Longbottom, Lavender Brown, Ernie Macmillion, Dean Thomas, Seamus Finnigan, Fred Weasley and George Weasley all agreed with her on this front. They were her crowd, However, her best girl mate, Ginny Weasley, thought it was a bit tiring to hear the same insult over and over again, and her best boy mate, Terry Boot, thought it was a waste of her time to be preoccupied with Malfoy. But, she considered it her duty to fight with him like the Golden Trio wouldn't.

She had a complicated relationship with the Trio. Harry, she knew, liked her a lot, partially because she was such close friends with Harry's girlfriend, Ginny. Hermione liked her, but also deeply resented her on account of River being number one in the class and Hermoine being number two. Ron like her a lot as well, but felt obligated to resent her a little on Hermoine's behalf. They were entering their sixth year, and Ginny was entering her fifth year and today was the first day of school.
