So, let's see... I've had this idea forever. It actually came to me while I was trying to go to bed. Anyway, this is the sumarry in much better detail. Also, this kind of takes place during the sixth book, but it doesn't really follow the story-line.
Summary: Five transfer students have shown up at Hogwarts, per Dumbledore's request. They are definately not human, instead loving to sleep during the day and drink a curious red liquid. Bet you can guess what they are. Well, most of them anyway. Eve Sterling is a half-blood, taken in and serving a noble of their race named Naventiss Quinn. Being what she is, though, Eve finds it difficult. She has to feed more often than the others, and she gets far less sleep, especially when she is worrying about her Mistress. These qualities make her short of temper and low on energy. When the Sorting Hat places her in a different House than Naventiss, Eve finds herself stuck with William, another noble of their race whom she hates with a passion. With William shortening her rope, what happens when she takes out the brunt of her frustrations on Draco?
So, yeah this probably doesn't sound the most interesting, but I urge you to read it.
She sat on the train, in one of the many undefined cars that belonged to the first-years. Except she wasn't a first-year, but rather looked more like a fifth- or sixth-year. Her hair was short, cut close to her chin, a deep and glossy raven black that fell into her eyes. Her eyes, which were staring out the window through the curtain of hair, were an unnaturally vivid blue. She was already in the school's uniform, having changed earlier. It was dark outside of the train car, and the four that sat around her were just beginning to wake. She, on the other hand was beginning to nod off, forcing her eyes to stay open as she watched the darkened scenery flashing by.
The first to completely awaken was Autumn Harlot, a girl with fiery hair and deep brown eyes. Next was the boy beside her, Xander Rayne, with pale blonde hair and blue-purple eyes. The girl looking out the window liked him better than the other boy in the car. He was the third to awaken. It was William, Xander's twin. He had blonde hair as well, more golden, but his eyes were bluer, without the purplish hint, and he despised the girl. Their eyes allowed others to tell them apart, not that some couldn't just from their attitudes. The last to open her eyes was the girl's Mistress. Her name was Naventiss Quinn; she had long brown hair, and the most beautiful jade green eyes that the girl had seen. Her eyes opened slowly, and were not really focused on the car around her, but rather still in the dream she had been immersed in. They eyes focused on the girl staring out the window, and Naventiss spoke with a quiet, half asleep voice.
"Eve? Did you sleep on the train at all? You look unbelievably tired."
"Yes," Eve Sterling lied. Naventiss didn't catch it. "Are you hungry, Mistress?"
"A little. Bring me something with chocolate please. And don't call me Mistress," Naventiss said irritably. "I prefer Naven." Eve bowed her head, and squeezed past everyone in the car, heading towards the snack trolley. She reached it, purchased a Honeyduke's Chocolate bar, and headed back. Her lack of both sleep and proper nourishment forced her to sit down in the corridor before she reached the car. No one was walking by, so she fell asleep quickly, her body's defense kicking in. Eve was unaware of everything until someone tripped over her. He hadn't really been paying attention, but normally there's not someone sleeping on the ground of the walkway. As the person who tripped over her stood and began brushing himself off, Eve slowly opened her eyes. In front of her there was a platinum blonde boy with slate-grey eyes about her age. He was staring at her coldly.
"You know, you're not supposed to sleep in the train's corridor." His voice was like ice.
"I'm sorry." Eve moved her mouth little as possible, knowing that she was hungry and that it would begin to show soon. Even so, the boy in front of her caught sight of something sharp and pearly-white in her mouth.
"I haven't seen you before. What House are you in? What year?"
"You sure are a nosey one, aren't you? Sixth-year and I have yet to be sorted. Professor Dumbledore will explain it all later." With those words, Eve stood and continued to the car. She had no idea about how long she'd been asleep, but it really didn't matter by this point. When she got back to the car, she walked in on both the boys shirtless, changing into their robes. Autumn and Naventiss had already finished, and were staring out the window Eve had been before. Eve blushed and quickly looked down. She dropped the bar of chocolate into Naventiss's lap, and sat down, looking at the ground. She could hear a faint chuckling that she was pretty sure belonged to Xander.
"All right, we're decent." It was Xander who spoke. Eve could hear the easy going tone in his nearly sarcastic voice. William sat next to Autumn, a brooding presence on the other side of the car. Xander chuckled again as he sat down beside Eve. "Did you like what you saw? C'mon, I could see you checking us out." His voice was annoyingly sardonic, but Eve didn't mind.
"No, I was figuring that with you two being what you are could have better bodies than that." William knew that this banter was all in fun, but still he scowled at her comment.
"What took you so long?" It was William this time. Their voices were nearly impossible to tell apart, but Eve had that down. "We thought that you ran away from your Mistress." The way he said the title made it seem like something undesirable. It was that tone she hated. Eve couldn't help herself. She stood and began shouting.
"I may not be pure-blooded, but that gives you no right to ridicule me! I am Mistress Naventiss's servant, so don't make fun of me, and especially do not make fun of her!"
"Eve!" The voice was commanding. "You are cranky because you are tired and hungry. Do not let that control your words and actions. Now, sit down." Eve trembled for a moment, tempted to disobey, just this once. But, the power Naventiss had over her as her Mistress held her in place as she fought against it feebly. Eventually, she just sat down. She could not go against Naventiss's commands. She would never go against them. She felt guilty and ashamed of her actions; she never should have said those things. William was on a higher level than she was; a noble, like her Mistress. As Eve sat, she saw a wicked grin pass across William's features. His goal had been completed, he was happy. Shortly after, the train pulled into the station. She didn't day it out loud, but she confessed it to herself. She hated that man.
Thanks for reading.
