CASSIOPEIA EDAL:
I followed my friends downstairs into the dining hall for lunch. Skyler's blue eyes still showed signs of fury, but mostly showed the calm expression she had when we first met. I sat down between Destiny and Melody while Skyler sat down next to Melody, silently eating and sketching something in a green journal. I tried to look at what she was drawing without getting angry glares. Bloody hell. She's so cheerful.
I continued to quietly nibble on my meal when I heard Destiny mumble something I couldn't hear. I leaned closer to her so I can hear the words one more time.
"She's so secretive." Destiny whispered once more. I turned to look at her, as she stared at Skyler with a smile of suspicion on her face.
"What?" I answered back.
"You know, she ran off somewhere. But where? And she has a short-temper. I wonder why she is so sensit-"
"Wow. Gossiping about me. Terrific. I should go and throw all of my stuff from my trunk on you too. Since you like my life so much." The bitter tone of Skyler sneered at us. I looked at her as I saw Skyler's eyes blaze with fury like before but it showed sadness as well.
"Skyler wait. No please lis-"
"No. Leave me alone Cassie. I wish I was in Hufflepuff with my brother. He is more nice than you, Melody and Destiny combined. You would get along well with my other brother Dominic. He hates me, too. Have fun with your little celebration. I won't stop you, " Skyler spat, making sure we all heard every single part of the heart-breaking words.
She got up and walked off out of the dining hall. I sighed, knowing that if I did follow her, she would slap me just like she did to Destiny.
"Where's Skyler?" asked Melody, who had fell asleep on her food, leaving the crumbs on her face.
"She ran off again." I answered back.
"Why?"
"Errm...we were kind of gossiping about her…."I nervously stammered as Melody stared at me with seriousness.
She sighed as she shook her head with disbelief. "REALLY?! You had to gossip right, Destiny? And you too, Cassie? It's just the first day! You two were on the cart to friendship but no! You screwed it up!" Melody yelled, her eyes burning with anger.
"Sorry?" Destiny asked, sarcastically shrugging.
Melody just kept quiet. I curled my hands into fists as Destiny looked at me weirdly.
"Thanks a lot, Destiny." I spat, glaring at the golden-haired girl. The bell had rung for our next class. We got up and set off for Defense Against The Dark Arts.
Skyler came for The Defense Against the Dark Arts as Professor Lupus continued to talk about what we would learn in his Defense Against the Dark Arts class. He kept talking until the bell rung for our last class.
"Skyler!" I heard Melody call as I looked over to Skyler who had her book for The History of Magic class.
"Cassie, I'm sorry I got you in trouble." I heard Destiny say to me as we walked into the classroom. I sat down next to Destiny and Skyler as we opened our books to read about history.
"Now class. Open your books to page 4." Professor Binns said, making sure everyone were on the same page. He continued to talk and talk until I felt myself drift into sleep.
I felt a sharp punch into my shoulder as I opened my eyes to see Skyler, staring at me.
"Come on. Class is over." She mumbled as she followed Melody out of the classroom. I grabbed my history book and followed them out the door. Destiny was waiting by the door as the four of us walked back to the common room, hoping an argument would not start.
"Great job falling asleep, Cassie. I wish you can earn a medal for that. You are a master at it." Skyler sneered, as she smirked at me.
"Unlike Cassie, you are a master of getting on your bad side. Though your bad side is like my good side. What are you going to do? Talk me to death?" Destiny answered back as she glared at Skyler with anger.
"Newflash! Destiny's whole entire family is a bunch of snotty, rich wizards and witches who think they are better than others."
Destiny opened her mouth to argue but Skyler cut her off.
"Don't tell me I'm wrong. You know why? Cause I'm right." Skyler sneered, smiling in victory as she ran up the stairs to the common room.
Destiny's eyes showed the anger as she curled her hands into fists.
"Oh please." Destiny mumbled. "You don't know me at all. Just you wait."
I followed everyone up the stairs as we entered the brightly lit common room. Skyler wasn't there so I assumed she was in the dorm. Destiny suddenly pushed a third year student over to the side as she ran upstairs into the dorm. I ran after her as I heard Destiny scream at Skyler.
"SAY WHAT YOU WANT ABOUT ME, BUT DON'T YOU SAY A WORD AGAINST MY FAMILY, YOU B*TCH!" Destiny screamed, as she swung her fist at Skyler, aiming for her left eye. Skyler tried to dodge but Destiny had hit her right in her eye. Skyler fell to the ground, trying to keep her balance. Destiny kicked her in the stomach as Skyler hit her head on the tile, falling unconscious on the ground.
"What in the BLOODY HELL DID YOU DO?" I yelled at Destiny, looking at Skyler who was out cold.
"She insulted my family! She deserved that!" Destiny replied, crossing her arms as she stalked off somewhere.
Once she left, I ran over to Skyler with Melody at my side. We checked her breathing and her pulse. She had a huge black eye and possibly some broken bones.
"SKYLER! SKYLER!" Melody yelled, shaking her arm which fell onto the hard tile.
"SHUT UP! SHE CAN'T HEAR YOU!" I yelled back, picking up Skyler's body over my shoulder as Melody helped carry her as we went downstairs heading for the hospital wing.
We finally came to a stop in front of the hospital wing entrance as Madam Pomfrey stared at the motionless body of Skyler.
"What happened to her?!" she asked, as she let us in. We set Skyler's body down on a rickety bed as we waited for her to wake up. Madam Pomfrey told us to wait and go back to our dorms. I looked at Skyler's body one last time for now as Madam Pomfrey shut the door.
"What's going to happen to Skyler?" Melody asked, nervously turning around, looking at the door of the hospital wing.
