Hi guys! Remember to read Slytherin Misadventures, by Toni, who is probably a better author than I am! She helped me write my first ever story, so give her the credit she deserves!

"Transfiguration is so interesting," I gushed, as Luna and I walked down the stairs side-by-side. I had textbooks under my arm and Hex prowled at my heels.
"I know!" Luna smiled, adjusting her wand that was tucked behind her ear, "I can't believe I managed to transform those matches to needles!"
We laughed as we came to the doors leading to outside.
"I'm going to go study," Luna said, as she went over to the other stairs leading to the Ravenclaw Tower.
"See ya," I waved, as I saw Toni standing outside. "Come on Hex," I picked up my little ginger kitten and held him in my arms as I approached Toni.
"Are you doing homework there, Toni?" I asked. Toni always used to ask me with homework help, so I decided now I might lend a hand...
I stopped.
It looked like Toni already had help. Sitting opposite her was Draco Malfoy. I dropped my transfiguration homework and glared at Draco.
"Malfoy," I spat. I felt something in me I had never felt before. It was a mix of envy – why had she chosen Malfoy to help her and not me – and a want to protect Toni from this clearly untrustworthy Slytherin.
Draco smiled: a cold, empty, monstrous smile like a python about to devour a mouse.
"You're a mudblood, aren't you," he grinned.
I recoiled after hearing that word.
My mother was a witch: a famous and powerful healer, and my dad... he may have been an ordinary muggle, but that didn't make him any less of a person. How could Draco say 'mudblood' like my father, my own loving father, had tainted my blood.
"Don't you dare call me that!" I felt the anger and hatred in my voice – why was he being so mean?
Draco stepped forward, and I felt the ginger bundle in my arms move as Hex jumped out and attached his knife-like claws into Draco's robes.
Screaming, he tried to swipe Hex away. Then, Toni reached in and snatched my cat.
He immediately calmed down in her arms, as Toni tickled him in his favourite spot that she knew only too well: behind the ears.
She leant in and whispered: "Keep your little furball under control, somebody might get hurt."
I whirled on Toni angrily. "My furball? Somebody might get hurt? I'm sorry, but looks to me like you're on the side of some Slytherin worm, as oppose to your best friend for nine years!" I hollered.
Why would she betray me like this? A red mist descended upon me as Draco drew his wand, and I did the same, clutching it so tight my knuckles turned white.
"You filthy mudblood, and your disgusting pet, I'll get you both, you know." Draco snarled.
"I'd like nothing more in this world," I retorted, "than to break your wand over stupid head and kick you in the-"
Suddenly, Toni swiped Draco's wand and knocked mine out of my fist. She pointed Draco's wand at him, and hers at me.
"One more move," she spat, "and I'll hex you both."
I faltered suddenly and gasped in shock. Toni's ginger locks had turned a shade of bright red.
"What's happened to your hair..." Draco muttered.
Toni scowled at a strand of scarlet that fell down in front of her face.
"Toni..." I asked, confused, "what's happened?"
Toni didn't say anything. She just passed me Hex, turned and bolted for the Slytherin common rooms. Draco followed her. Glumly, I took Hex and patted his head.
All the pride I had felt earlier that week, all that sense of happiness and contentment and acceptance had gone. My best friend had swapped me for the albino son of a Death Eater. It was an all time low in anyone's book.
There you go!
Review!
