New friends and bad memories

Dinner came, Raelene and Corbin were sitting somewhat close to the group of Slytherins who were boasting about what curses they used on the First years, or what they happened in the corridors during classes. But the one conversation was that seemed to be the prank pulled on them during Potions class that morning. Bella was still staring in the mirror as the "horror" began to fade away.

I cannot believe that asshole of a cousin of mine did this to me, he will day dearly," Bella hissed.

"Love, you should not get so worked up over what that idiot did to you, although you still look lovely to me," Rodolphus said wrapping an arm around her shoulder and began to kiss her cheek.

Bellatrix pushed him away; a permanent glare was planted on her face as she stared at him. "Worked up? Who's the one who decided to hex him so hard into the wall it broke his arm huh?"

"Come on, you didn't reject to it in anyway now did you?"

"That not the point dumb ass."

Raelene and Corbin rolled their eyes as they listened to the constant bickering. After the girls were done their dinner, the two headed back down to the Common Room for some peace and quiet so they could start on their homework that was given to them.

"I can't believe it, first day back and already there are homework assignments."

"What can you do? Sixth year is suppose to be a lot tougher than any of the other years," Raelene responded.

"Wonder what Jocelyn and Andrea are doing right now?" Corbin asked taking her notes out oh her backpack.

"Probably better than what we're doing," answered Raelene as she began to write something on the parchment.

The Gryffindor Common Room was quiet, Jocelyn sat by the window, staring longingly out at the velvet black sky, and millions of stars twinkled, a half moon shone brightly.

"Gomenasai for everything

Gomenasai I know I let you down

Gomenasai till the end

I never needed a friend

Like I do now."

Jocelyn sang in a soft voice, she longed to step outside to wander through the dark grounds and sit by the lake to get in touch with her inner self again.

"Mom, dad, I promised you I will make you proud, and I vow to keep that promise."

A haunting song began to play through her mind, memories of the ocean filled her mind. The calling of a swim, being with the whales and dolphins started to be become painful thoughts. Jocelyn chocked back tears that threatened to fall; Jocelyn kept telling herself that she did not want to show any tears or any weakness in the brand new school.

"Out where white horses fly

Sirens call from far

Long ships gather to light the way

A traveler's guiding star."

Down in the dungeons, more students began to come in, most of them headed to their dorms, while others, especially Bella and her group. The group headed over to the couch close to the fire, only a few feet away from Raelene and Corbin.

"All right, have you figured out question four yet?" Raelene asked.

"Something about a certain plant...I don't know, I'm just making things up, if I don't know what it is, I just leave it," Corbin responded.

"Okay, that explains so much why the teachers always said that the answers were always wrong and you have to do research."

"I can't help it, I'm not the one these people can concentrate on anything."

"Come on, mom and dad wants us to pass this year, especially you."

"I'm to do what? There is no way I'm going near that Gryffindor!" shouted Lucius Malfoy. He was five years older than they were, he already graduated school, but he likes to come back and visit Narcissa. He had blonde hair and silver eyes.

Raelene and Corbin looked over at the group to see what the problem was. Bella turned her head toward them and gave them a glare.

"What the hell are you staring at?" Bellatrix asked rudely.

"Seeing what the problem is," Raelene responded.

"Well, its none of your business," Rosier replied.

"All right than, sorry for concerning about something," Raelene said.

"My god, they are so fucking rude."

"You think, but I'm kind of concern on who their talking about though."

"No, no, no, no! You've got to be fucking kidding me!" Bella cried out in anger.

"What is it?"

"My mother wants to make arrangements for our wedding!"

Raelene and Corbin both rolled their eyes as Bella and the others kept talking. It was slowly beginning to drive the sisters insane, but they were not giving up, they were there first and they did not want to show any backing down.

"You know what, let's go somewhere else, besides there's more stuff we need to discuss in private," Bella replied seeing that the sisters were not budging from their spot.

"Let's go."

The group got up from their seats and headed out of the Common Room. Immediately the sisters sighed with relief. The room was once more quiet; the girls were able to concentrate better on their assignments. All that could be heard was rustling of papers from Raelene who searched for the answers.

Corbin finally gave up and rested her head on her arms, which was placed on the table. Raelene looked over at her sister with a look of, "you're just giving?" Corbin initially looked away not in the moon to look at her sister.

A few minutes' later sounds of footsteps came down the stairs to the Common Room. Looking over to the sound, the two sisters saw a young woman with chest length chestnut brown hair and amber eyes. Her hair was pulled back somewhat into a ponytail while the rest hung loosely. She wore a red tank top with spaghetti straps and dark blue jeans. In her right arm she held a white shirt.

"Oh hey, are Bella and her friends finally gone?"

"Yeah, they left about five minutes ago."

"About time, yeah I can't stand them either," the girl continued. "Oh, where are my manners, I don't believe we met, I'm Amanda Dimitru."

"My name is Raelene Dionysius, and this is my twin sister Corbin, our other sister is in Gryffindor," Raelene replied shaking Amanda's outstretched hand.

"So you're triplets then? Cool," Amanda replied after the girls nodded.

"Wish I was, I'm an only child, but hey double the attention right?"

"Yeah, our cousin always said that, she's an only child too."

"Gryffindor too right?"

"Yeah, how did you know?"

"Two girls with the same name are in that house. So where did you two move from, if you don't mind me asking," Amanda asked sitting down.

"No, not at all. We moved here from Greece, we use to leave in Crete, a very nice place to live too. So is Athens, the sights are just to die for."

"Cool, so you have a Greek background...I swear I'm not an idiot, most people move there for a short time," Amanda replied with a laugh. "I'm Romanian, my mom's side however is Italian."

"That is awesome."

"So why did you come here in the first place?"

"Our mom and dad thought it would be a lot safer, especially for our cousin who was getting threats all the time at school."

"Why? What did she do?" asked Amanda.

"Nothing, well except sing..." Raelene said.

"Sing, that was it?" Amanda asked dumbfounded.

"Well, the girls who kept threatening her, their boyfriends kept falling in love with her. The other girls got jealous, they threatened her, and beat her up. Unfortunately our cousin is a bit of a softy when it comes to fighting back, she would never hurt anyone."

"If I were here, I would do some major damage to them," Amanda remarked.

"Well, she's starting to come out of her shell, especially just this past summer."

"That is really good to hear. What made her change her ways?"

"Oh, just the worry about the students, and mom and dad were always on her case."

"I see, well that's what parents are for."

"That is so true. If you don't mind me asking, where are you heading off too all dressed up like that?"

"I'm going to see my boyfriend, we're going to take a nice long stroll around the lake," Amanda said.

"Sounds nice, that is just so cute too."

"Thanks."

"And again, I really hope you don't mind me asking, I just get really curious on this stuff, especially meeting new friends, what house is he in? And how long have you two been going out for?"

"He is in Ravenclaw, and three years come next month on the thirteenth."

"I heard the thirteenth falls on the Friday this year."

"My lucky number I guess...well it was really nice meeting the two of you, but if you excuse me, I have to get going."

Amanda got up form her chair and ran to the door. She seemed so excited about going on her date with him.

"She seems nice."

"Yeah, okay, I'm heading to bed, this can wait until morning," Raelene said getting up fro her chair and heading to the dorm.

Back in the Gryffindor Common Room, Jocelyn still sat by the window, it was now eleven at night, and she showed no signs of moving. Footsteps sounded at the stairs coming from the dorm. Jocelyn didn't move her head; it was like she was oblivious to the noise.

"Joss, you've been sitting here for a long time, let's get up to bed.'

"I don't want to leave the ocean, their calling for me, I've lost them once before, I don't want to lose them again," Jocelyn responded in a very trance like tone. She didn't even seem to notice that her cousin was speaking to her.

"Who's calling to you?" asked Andrea a little worried, this was not a first time she has ever seen her cousin like that.

"The whales and dolphins, they're crying for me to come back. I've been gone for too long."

"You will one day return, but for right now, the moon is not powerful yet for you to call on them."

"But they've said I've lost them once before when I wasn't there."

"Lost who? Joss, who did you lose before?" Andrea asked even more worried and concerned, she had an idea on who she was talking about, but she wasn't one hundred percent sure who.

"I've been gone for too long, I have to go back...come back please they call, their cries echo in my head..." Jocelyn stopped talking, tears began to fall down her cheeks.

"Joss, are you all right?" Andrea asked cautiously, as she went to sit next to her cousin.

Jocelyn rested her head on her cousin's shoulder and began to cry, there was torment surrounding her and it was causing much pain, her cousin knew that too. For half an hour, Andrea and Jocelyn sat by the window, Andrea comforting her cousin, as Jocelyn continued to cry.

"Come on hun, let's get upstairs and into bed," Andrea said in a soft voice as Jocelyn moved her head and dried her tears.
