Chapter 4
The Train Ride
As Skylar jumped off the train she felt James's eyes on her back until she was out of sight. She scanned the people and found her mother getting Scorpius on the train.
"Good bye mother." she said briskly
"Oh thank goodness you got through." Her mother said rushing over and hugging her goodbye. She hugged her mother tightly.
"I'll miss you Mom." She said sniffling
"I'll miss you too pumpkin." Astoria whispered in her daughter's ear.
They pulled apart and Skylar got back on the train. She rushed back through the compartments to make sure her stuff was still there. When she got back she say that not only was her stuff back but a note on it too. It read:
Skylar,
Don't believe anything I say. I swear I don't mean it. I'll explain later. Wait for me by the fire after everybody has gone to bed.
James
Skylar stared at the letter for a moment before it burst into flames and got ash all over her trunk. She brushed it off quickly and sat down pulling out her headphones and cell phone. She was just about to play her music when she heard the compartment slide open and a girl came in. She had strawberry blonde hair and green eyes. She had a fair complexion and was average height. Skylar didn't think she was very tall but when she saw this average sized witch she knew she was wrong.
"Hi there!" the girl said enthusiastically. "Ariana Knightly is the name. I'm in third year and you look like you would be too!" Ariana smiled. As Skylar nodded. "And you would be..?"
"Skylar." Skylar said.
"Skylar…" Ariana motioned with her hand wanting more.
"Skylar Malfoy." Skylar replied this was her first reaction and she wanted to see how it would go. Not very well. Ariana's grin turned into a look of pure horror and disgust.
"Eelk." She wiped her hand on her robes. "The Malfoy's. I should've known."
"No really I'm dif-" Skylar started only to be cut off.
"That's what they all say." Ariana snarled her once warm green eyes turned stone cold and she glared down at Skylar and stormed away. Skylar wanted to cry. She was about to too before another first year girl walked in.
"Hiya! Did I just hear you say you were Skylar Malfoy?"
"Yep that's me." Skylar replied. This girl was black and had her hair in two french braids. She had warm brown eyes and black hair.
"Jaquisa Reynards at your service! Your family and mine are a lot both rich and popular!"
Skylar was started to like this girl less and less as she droned about how much she admired Skylar's mother and father. Skylar was just nodding silently until Jaquisa decided that she wanted to meet some new first years.
"Bye Skylar!" Jaquisa said before running off.
Skylar was about to put on her headphones for the third time when the door slid open yet again. Skylar nearly groaned aloud. Three boys had walked in. One was a boy with dark brown hair and startling blue eyes. He had a tan complexion and was quite cute if she did say so herself. The other boy all the way to the right had sandy blonde hair and amber eyes. He had a fair complexion and wasn't nearly as cute as the one all the way to the left. The boy in the middle was no other than James Potter.
"Hello" She said politely.
James glared at her for some reason and said "Drop the act Malfoy we know who you are."
"Well I would hope so." She replied meeting his gaze
"Don't smart off Malfoy." The boy with sandy blonde hair said gruffly.
"That's Glynn Cassowary." Said James pointed to Sandy. "And this is Nolan Longbottom." Pointing to Cutie. "I am James Potter." he said finally.
"Yes I know." Skylar said wondering what was going on.
"Don't smart off Malfoy." Cassowary sneered.
"Okay?"
"We're here to tell you about some things at Hogwarts before you get any ideas." Longbottom said.
"We rule the school and nobody can stop us." James said
"We also are in control of what goes on in the Gryffindor house since Professor Longbottom is Nolan's father and James is close with their family. So if you get into Gryffindor, which I expect you won't because your a dirty Malfoy, don't try messing with us." Said Cassowary.
"Okay, this doesn't mean a lot to me." Skylar answered her eyes turning stone cold.
"Well it should." James snarled. "Everybody loves us and don't think about changing it."
"Okay well you can't stop people for doing things." Skylar said. "For instance, you can't stop people from trying out on the school's House Quidditch teams."
"Yeah, we can, and besides there are no girls on the team." Cassowary laughed. "A girl on the Quidditch team! What a riot!"
Skylar stood up angrily. "Get out." she snarled.
"Oh yeah? Whose making me?" Cassowary's grin faded into a smirk.
It was true that Skylar was tall for her age. She was 5'6 at 13 years old, but Cassowary was at least 5'8. Instead of sitting back down, Skylar stood her ground and punched Cassowary's nose in. CAssowary's face turned to look at her, blood streaming down his face, was so funny Skylar wished she had taken a picture.
"Why you little-" Cassowary through a punch at her and Skylar smiled. The other two boys had backed out of the compartment giving Skylar enough room to duck, swing around, and then kick him in the back, pushing him forward so that his face was stuck on the window. If somebody was looking into the train it would've been a very queer sight.
Once Cassowary got his face unstuck from the window he looked to Skylar and snarled, "You'll pay for that."
Skylar smirked and made a fake step forward to him. He then proceeded to jump out of his skin and run out of the compartment as fast as his dweeby legs could carry him. Skylar laughed as she got changed into her robes. The train started to slow down about 5 minutes later and Skylar started getting butterflies in her stomach. The train lurched forward and Skylar stepped out of her compartment and into the train hallway. Before she stepped off the train she took a deep breath. She landed on the cement and gasped.
