I own nothing, I have a beta helping me fix things, so here is the fixed chapter one. enjoy. Thank you Ashric Ravenclaw Sendaru. Title roughly translated means Forbidden Love in Italian.
My name is Rain Star Twilight and I'm sixteen. I'm starting at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry with my best friend, Sarah Rosewood. We went to Salem Witches Institute, for our first six years, so we are new to Hogwarts and will be in our seventh and final year. We live in the Untied States so we talk with a bit of an accent - well, to them.
I have pale tanned skin because I'm out in the sun a lot. I have what the three boys in my band call "stunning-silver eyes." They have a bit of black in them. My hair is midnight raven with silver highlights. I'm not thin but I'm not heavy, I'm just perfect for a girl who plays quidditch.
I'm a punk with a bit of an attitude problem. I have a thing for breaking the rules, and not listening to adults. I got to know my teachers well enough that I know their personal lives, because of how many much time I have spent in detention. I have been put into therapy to help with my little "problem", but I always end up looking for a new therapist. One reason or another my mom kept trying to change who I am, so she thought that talking to a therapist would help, it never did.
My band, Dark Phoenix, is made up of Brad, Max, David, Sarah and myself. I write most of the songs and the boys come up with the music for it. Everything I wear is black, red, dark blue, dark green and silver. I am not a goth, I just liked everything dark, it is who I am. When I was made too I would wear pink but only because it made my mom happy.
"Rain! Get up. You will be late for the plane!" my mom called up the steps. I was up and she was telling me to get up. She didn't know that I would get up before her so I could get in the shower before my brother. I always hated to take showers after him; he would use all the hot water.
"Mom, I'm up and dressed!" I called back to her. I was dressed in a red and black skirt with a black shirt with the Disturbed smile on it. I knew my mom didn't like it but it was the one shirt I didn't pack.
"Sarah called; she will be here in a few." My brother walked into my room and sat down on my bed. I always hated when he would come in my room without knocking, I always knocked when I was going into his room, unless I knew he wasn't in there.
"Get out, River!" I yelled at him as I threw a pillow at his head. He moved so it just got his shoulder, I growled.
"Come on you two, don't fight." Sarah entered my room. "Come on Riv, we need to leave now." I knew that we had the time to leave later but I didn't want to spend time with my mom when she got weepy, then we would be late, but Sarah saying we had to leave means she knew what was going to come if we didn't hurry out of there.
"Gods, what have you two done to make you so damn happy?"
"We are going to school stupid." We smirked. I picked up my Disturbed CD and put it in. I had to listen to something other then River playing twenty questions with us. He turned it down, I rolled my eyes. He always spoiled my fun when it came to driving in his car.
"I know that one, but why in the world aren't you two going to Salem?" River asked, backing out of the driveway.
"You read the letter from Salem yourself, plus I told you when I got the letter from Hogwarts. I really don't want to too you again." I lifted one foot and hit the back of his seat. I hoped that he got the hint that I didn't want to talk about it again.
"Be nice to him. He is driving us so we can go to Hogwarts." Sarah looked up from her book. I didn't want to tell him again because I knew what was going to happen, he would start to laugh and I would do something and it would start a fight between us. I didn't want Sarah to see that, she puts up with it enough when she would come over to hang out with the band.
"Come on, Rain! Tell me why you and Sarah can't go to Salem." I looked up from The Two Towers. I growled, I was not going to take this for long but I knew him all to well. I just was happy that Sarah's brother, Jason didn't come with us, and then the questions would never end.
"We blew up half of the Potion's room." I muttered, finished with my book. He started to laugh so I hit his seat again. We drove through the wood and it took what seemed like forever to get to the airport, I hated have to drive almost to D.C to get a plane; I guess it could have been worse. We hit some traffic on the interstate from Roanoke but it was a Monday morning and people had job to get too and kids had to have the last bit of summer fun before school started again. Sarah and I weren't so lucky I guess.
"I'll see you two to the gate." He grabbed Sarah's and my bags. After we got our tickets and checked most of our bags, we went to find the gate. It didn't take all that long but I knew that Sarah and I would have to wait to board, and then we would be waiting again.
"Gate sixteen...seventeen…eighteen…nineteen…twenty... Here we are gate twenty-one." I walked over to River and hugged him goodbye and Sarah did the same thing. I would miss him getting on my case all the time and picking on me while I was trying to play my guitar or work on lyrics.
"Bye, you guys. Hey dark one, see ya when you can come home," He called out to us. That is what I get having a family who lived in the muggle world. I wasn't fully ready to leave but I knew that being with Sarah; it wouldn't be so bad to be in another country.
"Bye!" we cried from where we were standing. I was going to miss everything this year, like Brad getting his tattoo and David moving out of his parent's house.
"I wonder if any of the boys will be cute!" Sarah squealed. I just rolled my eyes. I really could have cared less if any of the boys would be cute; to me guys were all the same.
"I don't care, as long as I don't get into trouble," I smirked. It seemed like I was always in trouble at Salem, not that I was but I did have detention a lot.
"And if you fall in love that would be a plus too," She laughed; it was contagious like the flu and I started to laugh with her. She had that affect with me; she knew that I was soft under the hard external image that I put up.
"If Hogwarts is anything like Salem, I will get into trouble by the end of the first week." This time it was she who rolled her eyes. We have been best friends, her house down a few doors from mine.
"Do you remember what you did the first time we met?" I had to look at her like she was crazy. Our first meeting was, well interesting.
"Hell, yeah! How could you forget?" I was pretty sure that day I scared her with the way I looked.
"Rain! Stop playing will you, we have people over!" my dad turned out the lights.
"GUYS, STOP!" I screamed over the "music." The boys and I unplugged the things and ran up the steps to get into the main house
"For once, will you please be nice to the children of the neighborhood," my mother said, pulling my shirt down.
"Mum, when am I not?" I said looking sweetly at her. I caught Brad smiled, for once, out of the corner of my eye.
"Hello, I'm Elizabeth. This it my husband, Jake, our son River and daughter, Rain." I smiled nicely; I don't smile that much, I really truly hated to smile.
"I'm Jessica, my husband isn't here now. This is our son, Jason and daughter Sarah," The other girl's mom said with a smile.
"Hello," Sarah said with a smile. 'Gods am I going to hate her,' I thought as my mum said something. Brad grabbed my arm and pulled me back.
"WHAT?" I yelled as he dragged me back down the steps and Sarah fallowed us.
"Your mum said we should get to know her a bit more," Max said, plugging in the keyboardwhich Brad was trying to play.
"But we need to find another player," David pleaded, sitting down at the drums.
"We can't, dude." I took the drumsticks out of his hands.
"Rain, I have more than one set," He stated, taking out another set of sticks.
"Rain, guys! How's it going? Making a new friend?" River and Jason walked into the band room. I rolled my eyes; he never paid attention to the sign on the door.
"River, can't you read? It says on the door 'Dark Phoenix's room'." I asked, looking at my one song, I didn't find a point to look up.
"Hey, don't you guys need another player?" Jason asked, that's when my head snapped up. That was the one thing I needed to hear to be interested in what anyone was saying.
"YEAH!" Max yelled, looking at what soda we have. I forgot to go get some soda, but they would have to live with what there was in the small refrigerator.
"What do you play? Max they don't really have anything in there." Brad asked, walking over to his bass. He began to tune it; it looked like one of the strings was going to break.
"I can't, but Sarah can though," Jason said and pointed at her. I heard the string snap and Brad start to swear, it hit his hand.
"What can you play?" I asked as I shot a glance at Brad who was sucking on the part of his hand that got hit.
"The piano." She looked at me.
"Can you play the keyboard?" I pointed it out to her, it was just sitting there, only touched when one of us tried to play it but always failed.
"I can try." She bit her lip.
"Fine, play this." I handed her, the music to 'Warmness on the Soul'. She played it perfectly. Our mouths hung open, even River's, who usually was unimpressed with our music. I think it was because he was so used to hearing us play.
"MAN!" we all yelled the guys louder then me. I was in shock; I kept blinking my silver eyes to make sure that I wasn't dreaming.
"I messed up on one part." She smiled at us. She looked between Brad, Max, David, and me and our bothers.
"So, you got it," I said, still in shock.
"Is that good?" Jason asked us, looking at River, who smiled. River was the one, who introduced me and Brad; he met Brad's brother at school.
"Yes, she is in. Welcome to Dark Phoenix." I smiled at her and the boys. Max and David had this look in their eyes, I didn't know where it was going but I wasn't sure if it was good or not. Some times they would get that look and it would be a good thing but other times it ended with us being in some kind of trouble, like the one time they thought that it might be a good idea to get our band out there, to paint it on the roof of the local high school. We got caught and almost got arrested for it.
"Oh! My name is Brad, and this is Max, and David. Her mum didn't know we are here," Brad said in his non-motional voice.
"You have this preppy kid look," Max stated, looking her over and David nodded his head in agreement.
"Yeah, Rain, could you help her be less preppy?" Brad looked hopefully at me.
"Yeah, it won't be hard," I stated looking at her.
"What would you have to do?" Sarah asked in panic.
"Get rid of all the light colors and you would have to wear darker make up," I said, "Nothing to major like getting anything pierced." To this day the changes the boys wanted never stuck and I wasn't going to force anything.
"Hey, we have to get on the plane," Sarah said in a rushafter she looked at the clock.
"Yeah, I don't want to stay here until the next one." I jumped up, grabbing my carry-on as Sarah followed almost stepping on my heels. It was the last call for our flight, we had just made it. After we found our seats, I sunk down in mine trying to get at least a little comfortable before we took off.
After the flight
It was about noon when Sarah and I got to the Leaky Cauldron, where we would be staying for the time being, until we got to Hogwarts. I couldn't understand the cab driver worth the life of me, Sarah laughed every time I asked him to repeat himself, at one point to swear the man said something about deaf Americans, but I couldn't be sure. Sarah had to get some more books; I could help but think why she didn't get them while we were still in America. I was tired from the plane; I couldn't sleep because I had some kid behind me, who kept kicking my seat.
"Sarah, will you wait the hell up?" I called out after her. "I'm still tired from the plane ride here. Gods take me now." I looked towards the sky.
"Rain, I didn't get all of my books, so you can go back and sleep." Sarah said walking up to me. She looked like hell, I didn't let her sleep. My thought where if I'm not going to be able to sleep, neither are you.
"Fine, be back before dark," I yelled to her as she started to walk away from me. I had a feeling that she rolled her eyes.
"Yeah, whatever." I shook my head, I knew she wasn't going to listen to me, she never did. I turned around and started to walk back to the Leaky Cauldron, when I ran into this guy. I knocked the books out of his hand.
"I'm so sorry. I wasn't looking where I was going." I kneeled down so I could help him. I was so embarrassed, it was my first day here and I was already making a mess.
"No, it is my fault." He said, kneeling down in front of me. We picked up his books together, my hand and his hand both reached for the last book, I got it. We stood up, I felt like I was some little kid again.
"Here ya go. My name is Rain by the way," I said, I felt bad enough; I didn't need to feel worse for not introducing myself. Sarah would have a field day if she saw this; it might be safer for me if I didn't tell her about this, because if she did she wouldn't let me live it down.
"Thanks. I'm Draco." His dark eyes, made me feel uncomfortable. I had made up my mind; I wasn't going to tell Sarah about him. He was staring at me, which made me feel more uncomfortable.
"What are you staring at? Hello?" I had to snap him out of it. He was cute, Sarah's type but he was getting kind of creepy.
"Nothing, just your eyes-" I had to cut him off there, I didn't need another person telling me that my eyes where weird.
"Let me guess they are strange, right?" He looked taken back, like that's not what he was thinking.
"No, they're very beautiful." That caught me off guard, 'did he really just say that? Maybe he was just saying that to be nice.' I didn't want to stick around much longer. People were starting to look, like we where doing something illegal.
"Okay then… I gotta go, see ya." I started to walk past him.
"Hopefully." He said looking down at his books. I started to feel bad again; maybe we went to the same school.
"What school do you go to anyway?" He looked up at me, this time his eyes were softer looking.
"Hogwarts, you?" He answered, I smiled to myself, maybe I should tell Sarah about him. She would see him anyways, so why not give her a bit of a warning.
"Hogwarts too. I'm just starting, with my friend." He looked kind of shocked.
"Oh, so you're a first year?" I rolled my eyes, did I really look like a first year to him.
"No, I went to Salem Witches Institute." I had to kind of laugh at him. I could probably write a song about this, if I was meant to it would come to me.
"Okay. Well, I must be getting home." He looked up at the sky quickly before he turned around. He looked back at me really quickly and did a slight wave.
"Bye!" I started to walk back to the Leaky Cauldron. Maybe starting at Hogwarts wouldn't be so bad; knowing one person there would help out greatly.
Hope you liked, working on all of the chapters, its slow going seeing as he is writing his own story too.
