I just want to assure everyone that Violet is still the main character, "Livet" is not replacing her, but at the same time, Violet does start to get more of a backbone as the story continues.
Please review.
I quickly flashed my eyes open in a panic when I felt a hand pat my leg.
"Livet, wake up," I heard a familiar voice say.
I had fallen asleep on the train, which is not exactly the best thing to do when you're in a compartment full of guys, especially guys like Draco Malfoy, you never quite know what he'll do. My eyes opened fully and I looked around to see Crabbe and Goyle asleep on their side of the compartment, and Draco was staring at me expectantly with his Quidittch magazine open on his lap.
"I must have fallen asleep, are we almost there?" I questioned.
Draco shrugged his shoulders and diverted his attention back to his Quidittch magazine.
"Yeah, probably, I really wasn't paying any attention. I was just bored and wanted to wake you up." He said while smirking.
How charming.
"Thanks," I said sarcastically.
"Anytime Livet," he replied. I wasn't in the mood to sit with Draco, especially because I don't know how long we've got on the train left, and I see it being uncomfortable sitting with Draco on the train in silence.
"I'll be right back I'm going to change," I said as I stood up.
"You could always change in here," he said smirking.
"In your wildest dreams Malfoy," I said sounding nothing like me really. Normally, me being Violet, would have just walked out, but I'm Livet now.
New name, new attitude.
"Actually, you're not in my wildest dreams, but I thought I'd offer anyways it would have at least given me something to look at,." he said sounding quite rude. Nor Draco or I said anything but he eyed me as I grabbed my robe and walked out, making me feel completely uncomfortable. I twisted my ring around nervously as I walked down towards the bathroom to change. I seemed to do that a lot lately, not go to the bathroom to change, but to twist my ring around. It's becoming quite an annoying habit really. I guess it sidetracks me from what's going on.
A good example being my mother.
It makes me forget about how she just forgot about me. I guess it distracts from getting no owls, no letters, no word, just - nothing. Twisting my ring almost acts as a distraction from everything, and although it's nice to just forget about everything for a few moments, it must look weird to everyone else.
I opened up the bathroom door and walked in, seeing none other than Hermione Granger standing there fixing her hair. I walked into a stall and put on my skirt and shirt, along with my robe. I walked out of the bathroom stall, reluctantly at first, walking up to the sink and looking in the mirror, brushing through my hair with my fingers. Hermione looked at me with a disgusted expression, shaking her head and refocusing on her hair. I looked at her through the mirror.
"What?" I asked getting angry with the fact that this girl doesn't even know me and that she's being so mean with me. She shook her head and walked out of the room. I wonder what I did to her. I took one last look in the mirror and walked out of the bathroom walking back towards the compartment. I wasn't really paying any attention, and inevitably I bumped right into someone. I must have been going faster than I thought because I hit that person really hard, causing us to both be forced backwards, well at least me to be pushed backwards. I looked foreword and saw Draco standing there with a smug expression stuck on his face.
"For God's sake Livet, you just can't seem to keep off me can you?" he commented staring at me.
I rolled my eyes, "I wasn't looking where I was going, but I'm sure that if I was looking I would have retained me 'urge to get on you'," I said sarcastically.
He laughed, "Nice try, you're getting better at this aren't you babe? You could use a bit of practice though."
I pushed against his shoulders to try and get him to move so I could walk away, seeing to it that he was blocking any escape route I could have come up with.
"See, now this is what I'm talking about Livet, you just can't seem keep your hands off me can you?"
I took a deep breath trying to forget about all my frustration; after all, all he wanted was to see me frustrated.
"Just move Draco," I said quietly. He pretended to ponder for a minute, then he looked at me, "Not until you kiss me," I opened my mouth to say no, but I was only trying to push away the urge to kiss him. He pulled my chin in closer to his and kissed me. That familiar feeling in my stomach fluttered back into that familiar feeling I felt whenever I kissed Draco. I was just about to respond to his kiss when he pulled away and walked past me leaving me standing there with butterflies floating in my stomach. I regained my composure and walked back into the compartment, putting my clothes in my bag and sitting back down. Draco came into the compartment once again just as the train stopped.
"Crabbe, Goyle, grab our stuff," he ordered to those bloody idiots. Even though those two boys aren't the smartest wizards in the world...I couldn't help but feel a bit bad for them when Draco ordered them around. I walked off of the train and Draco took my hand, walking towards the carriages. We hopped in one and he entwined my fingers with his own. Draco was watching the scenery, almost in a daze really, and I looked at him, hoping he wouldn't catch me staring at him. I studied his features. He had clean platinum blonde hair, with a tight muscular body, and those eyes, did I ever mention those before? Before I knew it the carriage stopped and Draco snapped out of his aimless gaze and stood up, getting off of the carriage. I followed and we walked into Hogwarts once again.
Who would have thought that when I left here, I would return as this, as Livet? I sat down at the Slytherin table as did Draco, and soon the rest of his friends sat down, including Raine, Crabbe, Goyle, Tye, Dylan, Blaise, and that rather disgusting looking Flint who was held back, once again. Flint winked at me as he sat down, and I looked at Draco who appeared to be angry at Flint for this, he was about to say something, but I put my hand on top of his. Dumbledore stood up and all attention went towards him.
"Welcome back students, I would hope that you had a good break off from Hogwarts. We will be sorting the new first years in a moment are so, and I ask that you please remain quiet while we do so."
I sighed and then proceeded to look around the Great Hall. Ever have that feeling you're being watched? I had that feeling for the first time in my life. People were all looking at me, trying to figure out who I was I presume. God the world really sucks; I have to be "beautiful" or something for the world to even take a look at me. I saw one particular boy staring at me. Harry Potter. He looked at me not with lust or awe, but with curiosity and suspicion. Could it be his scar? Was it hurting him? No, it couldn't be I mean I've always been Voldemort's daughter; I've been here since first year. Maybe his scar hurts because he is just now noticing me, like everyone else. I sighed slightly louder then I intended and Draco looked at me like I was from mars. I quickly grinned at him but then went back to a straight face.
"The forbidden forest is off limits, if you enter you may not ever exit. I hope everyone has a wonderful year and don't forget 4th years and up, we will have our annual ball in December before break."
Dumbledore concluded as he clapped his hands and the tables were filled with all sorts of food. I looked over at Draco and noticed his head boy badge sown into his uniform.
"Draco who's head girl?" I asked putting some chicken onto my plate. He smirked and pointed to my uniform. I looked down and instantly turned red, I had the head girl badge on my robes. My eyes widened, "Wouldn't I have gotten a letter?"
"You did, I was there when your dad opened it, I thought he would've told you," Draco said nonchalantly as he took a bite of potatoes. What the heck does head girl do anyways? I know they have their own room and share a bathroom with head boy.
Crap.
I looked down at my plate again and started to eat. What was I doing being head girl? Everyone was supposed to think I was the new girl, and a new girl would never get this position. As Violet don't think I should've had the position, I didn't have enough confidence. I need to see Dumbledore about this, I have no idea what to do, at all. I looked over at Harry to see if he was still staring at me, as soon as I looked at him he looked away. I looked over at Draco who was in conversation with Blaise about Quidittch. I swear that is one main things Draco ever talks about. I had finished eating, and looking over at Draco I saw that he hadn't quiet finished yet.
"Draco, I'm going to leave early, I'm all done," I said in his ear. I turned around to leave but Draco grabbed my arm.
"Stay here, in five minutes we have to walk the 1st years back to the Slytherin common room.
"Oh, okay," I said sitting back down with my back towards everyone. I rested my chin on my hand. What was I supposed to do as head girl? What time was I supposed to be back in bed? This all would have been so much easier if my dad would have just told me about being head girl. Why didn't he? He probably just forgot about it, right?
My father wouldn't have not told me when I got something in the mail would he? No, not a chance. It must have just slipped his mind.
"Come on Livet, let's go," I heard Draco say as he stood up. Dumbledore stood up, "Students, dinner is over, please report to your common rooms. First years, please find your prefects, and they will take you to your house dormitories."
Draco yelled, "First year Slytherins this way." We have a lot of first years this school year. They all gathered behind Draco and I, and we led them towards the Slytherin common room.
"Alright, this is Livet Dildre, and I'm Draco Malfoy, we're head girl and boy this year and I expect you to listen to me. McGonagall has already told you all of the rules, and Livet and I will be watching over the halls to see if there are any students out of bed. If we catch you, we'll make sure you get a weeks worth of detention," he said sternly. I nodded and the first years all flooded into the Slytherin common room.
"Come on Livet let's go to bed," I looked at him strangely, "Don't we have to watch the halls?"
He laughed, "Oh honestly Livet, who gives a flying broomstick about those first years, they'll be fine. We'll just make the Prefects do it."
I shook my head, "No it's okay you can go, I'm going to walk around for a bit."
He looked annoyed but just rolled his eyes and walked into the Slytherin common room. I started walking out of the dungeons, when I realized that I really didn't know where my room was. This is just great, I don't even know where I'm supposed to sleep. I should have just followed Draco, he knows where they are. I began to walk outside from a door nearby the dungeons, when I heard footsteps behind me.
Nervously, I turned around to see none other than Harry Potter standing there. What on earth could he want? He's a Gryffindor, why would he be talking to me?
"Sorry, didn't mean to startle you," he said quietly.
"Oh, um, no it's fine," I said.
He looked at my robe, "Head Girl?" he asked. I nodded, "I have no idea how I became head girl though, I'm new."
He looked at me funny as if he disbelieved what I had said, but there's no way Potter would ever know anything about me or my past.
"Well maybe you should talk to Dumbledore about it, I'm sure he could let you know all about it." I nodded, "I thought of that already," he nodded awkwardly.
"So why are you talking to me, H-Harr, I mean, sorry I didn't catch your name did I?"
He shook his head but eyed me suspiciously.
"I'm Harry Potter," he said, "And you are?"
"Livet Dildre," I answered. I looked back behind me as footsteps drew closer. "What are you doing down here Potter?" The voice called. I instantly recognized the voice to be Draco's. I looked wide eyed at Harry as he turned around, showing Draco storming down the corridor.
"Go back up to your common room you git you can't be down here," Draco said pointing towards the stairwell.
"What are you going to do about it Malfoy?" Harry snapped back.
"See this badge on my robe? Yes, well, that means I can bust your arse for being out past the time everyone else is supposed to be in bed. Now leave," Draco said roughly. Harry looked at me and back at Draco, walking away quickly. Draco grabbed my wrist sharply, and the harder I tried to get him to let go, the tighter he squeezed my wrist.
"Let go of me, you're hurting me!" I yelled at him as he pulled me into the empty common room. He looked around making sure no one was in the common room,
"What the bloody hell are you doing talking to Potter?" he hissed angrily. I knew that Draco wasn't fond of Harry, but honestly, all I was doing was having a conversation with him, "And how did you know I was doing so Draco? What are you watching my every move now? 3 months ago you didn't care what I did, I wish it would've stayed that way!" I spat back getting sounding extremely moody. Draco's eyes flickered with anger and when he looked at Harry, he seemed to look almost, jealous. Why would he be jealous over someone such as myself and Harry Potter?
"I wasn't spying I was just looking out of my window and I saw you and that fool Harry Potter talking."
I cocked an eyebrow at him, "And you care...why?"
He looked to the side and then averted his eyes back to me, "Well because I'm head boy and...well it's my job to see to students being out of their dormitories at this hour."
"Well, I'm head girl, don't you think that I would have had it covered?"
He looked to the side again, "Oh just shut the bloody hell up and let's go to bed," he said, changing the subject rather quickly. He pulled me upstairs, past the other boys and girls dormitories to two doors that were about 20 feet away from one another. We approached the first door and Draco put his hand on the handle, "This is your room, mines the next door down. I'm warning you Livet, if I catch you with Potter again....well I'll....well...you'll just regret it," he said threateningly as he swung the door open for me to walk in.
How convincing.
I walked through the doorway but Draco quickly grabbed my arm, pulling me in for a rough kiss. He let go of my arm and parted the kiss, walking away briskly to his room.
Of all the people close to me, I have to say that Draco is the most confusing one amongst them. One minute he's nice towards me, and then the next minute he's this hotheaded bastard. I turned on the light, which revealed a beautiful looking green and silver colored room. There was a desk towards the corner of the room, that had a lot of my books and such on it. On the other side of the room was my extremely comfortable looking double size bed with a night stand sitting nearby. There was a large closet and dresser, which complemented the green colored walls. After getting a good look at my new room, I took off my robe and flipped it over my desk chair.
Walking over to my trunk I began to unpack my clothes, putting them in the dresser and closet. After I had finished unpacking, I grabbed a pair of pajamas and changed into them. Looking at the clock, I decided that it would be best for me to sleep. I walked into the bathroom, which was also decorated in Slytherin's colors, and I grabbed a washcloth that was hanging on a towel rack. I turned on the water and began to scrub my face, getting all of the make-up off. I splashed water onto my face and dried it with a towel, putting on moisturizer once I was done. I looked to my right and saw that Draco's bathroom door was open, showing him laying on his bed slowly falling asleep. I smiled slightly to myself at the sight of him, but quickly dismissed my thoughts, as I turned around and walked back into my room. Flickering off the light, I laid on my bed, pulling the covers over me as I slowly started to drift into a deep sleep.
