AN: Please review. There are probably a lot of things wrong with the story, but if you point them out nicely, that would be great.
CHAPTER 1
Everything was dark except for the moonlight that peeked through window. Sarswati awoken with a pounding head and soon realized the strangeness of her dream. She couldn't exactly remember it, but all she knew was that she had a feeling of sadness and grief. It all seemed so odd to her. But then she lit a candle with her wand cautiously, just so she didn't wake anybody, and walked over to the tall mirror. The girl staring back at her was much different from the timid girl who first walked into Hogwarts. The girl staring back at her was taller and quite nice looking. She had bright green eyes to match her lovely brown skin and raven tresses. She was even Head Girl and the top student at Hogwarts. After all, she was named after the Hindu goddess of knowledge and wisdom. Yet with all of that, this girl had several insecurities. One of them, being her lack of romance in her life, which every girl thought about constantly, and another being the quality of coming off as a know-it-all, which she really wasn't. But other than that, she was generally well-liked. Yes, that was the girl staring back at her. Soon Sarswati went back to bed, and the rest of the night was filled with peace.
Until, she was awoken by her best friend, Olivia. Now Olivia was very good friend. She always made sure that Sarswati had her daily dose of fun and was just as, maybe even more, boy-crazy. Gossip was her forte and she mostly never shut up.
"Ready to go to breakfast?" asked Olivia, as she woken her best friend.
"Yea sure, just wait five minutes," responded Sarswati, getting up. She changed into her school uniform, brushed her hair and teeth, and completed the rest of her morning ritual. Finally, she was ready.
"I'm done now," said Sarswati, in a cheerful mood. She and Olivia walked down to the Great Hall where they were greeted by the usual morning feast. They sat down at their house table, Ravenclaw, and began to chat lightly about the classes they had today, while they ate their routine breakfast snacks. They were soon interrupted as two hands behind her covered Sarswati's eyes.
"Who is this?" responded Sarswati with a hint of annoyance in her voice.
"You have to guess, that's where the fun is," said an obvious masculine voice. But as soon as Sarswati heard the voice, a smile appeared on her face.
"I know it's you, Adam" laughed Sarswati. She turned to find she was correct, as she faced a boy with handsome features and tousled red hair and freckles, as all Weasley's had.
"You know, doll, I was scared you weren't going to get that," teased Adam.
"Why don't you just go back to the Gryffindor table," snapped Olivia.
"Who got up on the wrong side of the bed, this morning?" shot back Adam.
Olivia rolled her eyes and was just about to respond when everyone turned their heads to a chubby first year Hufflepuff who tripped over a bench and slammed his face into a large stack of pancakes. The only sound was a huge roar of laughter from the Slytherin table, where a large group of boys and a few girls were making fun of the Hufflepuff boy. The only non-smiling face in the crowd of Slytherin's was Tom Riddle, who had a look of disgust, instead. He soon got up, left the table, and walked out of the Great Hall's doors.
Sarswati soon filled with rage as she stared at the mocking Slytherin's. How could they be so mean and cruel? Before she knew what she was doing, she got up and walked over to the group of nasty Slytherin's.
"You have no right to make fun anybody here at Hogwarts, if I hear one more comment, as Head Girl, I'll—
"What?" asked a nasty looking boy, whom Sarswati knew as Nott. "Gonna give me a detention or what, expel me?" he mocked.
"Fine," Sarswati replied with a look of sternness on her face. "Fifty Points from Slytherin"
They all scowled at her when Sarswati realized the time. Her body went in a stage of shock. How could she be late for her first meeting as Head Girl? She quickly waved good-bye to her two friends and began running to the Transfiguration Room. Almost there, she reminded herself, until she ran into a tall figure and fell back. Sarswati gathered her scattered books and looked up. She saw a gaunt, yet handsome face with dark eyes and black hair staring back at her. It was Tom Riddle.
"I'm so sorry, I ran into you. You see, I'm—"
"Late" interrupted Tom. "I came to fetch you. Dumbledore refused to start the meeting without Head Girl," he said without a trace of emotion.
"Oh" replied Sarswati with embarrassment.
They walked to the Transfiguration Room, where she was greeted by Dumbledore and the rest of the Prefects.
