A Snake's Charm

New Year, New Style, and a Goal That Seems Impossible

A/N Okay, AdrainLestrange was kind enough to point out that my character was turning mary-sue. I have decided to drop a few things. Such as

a. First off, Arminell can't SING, DANCE, OR DRAW! It was never in the story line, and never will be.

b. SHES NOT THE BRIGHTEST CHILD!!! That's just who she is, get over it.

c. I'm going to tell you this. HAVING THREE OR FOUR FRIENDS DOES NOT MEAN EVERYBODY LOVES HER!!!! Sheesh.

d. I'm going to change her full blood status to half-blood. Good enough, eh.

IM SORRRY FOR THE UBER LATE UPDATE!!!! PLEAASSSEEEE FORGIVE ME!!!!!

Oy caloy, now that that's settled, let us begin.


A brand new year.

Platform 9 3/4.

The Hogwarts Express.

All major parts in one's experience at Hogwarts. I've got to find Blaise, Flint, and Draco before the train starts moving. Ah!!!

"Blaise!" I ran up. He was looking as good as ever, but he changed a bit from last year. His jaw is sharper, and he's taller. But he's not the only one who's changed.

I grew my hair out the middle of my back and cut myself better bangs covering my right eye. I still wear turtle neck anything now, and yes I do turn into a werewolf. Of course, I had to tell my parents about it. Anyway, I'm taller now too. With a more mature facial structure.

"My, my, haven't we changed a bit" I rolled my eyes at his comment.

"I'm still the punk I use to be" He laughed at me, turning slightly.

"I don't expect that to change" He patted my head with a smirk and sat down in the cart. I sat beside him and looked around.

"Where's Draco?"

"Changing into his robes. You better do that, too." I nodded and got up to change.

On my way there, I found myself stopped by one particular person. An older man with scars on his face. The same scars I hold on my neck.

"Excuse me" He moved. I turned myself and called "Wait!" But he was gone.

I got back to the cart and there sat a boy that was not the same Draco from last year. He was taller, slimmer, hotter, and my god that hair is sexy.

"D-d-d-draco!" He looked at me, shocked.

"Arminell!"

Holy.... Crap..... That doesn't even SOUND like him. It's sounds... more mature. Sexy, almost.

"Wow! You've.... Changed" I stumbled on words as I sat down.

"You too..." He stared at me. I gave him a questioning look and went on with my business. Flint ran in, looking like the oldest man on the express, and that's not a compliment.

"Who's that?" He looked at me, then froze. I could almost see the wheels turning in the man's tiny mind as he bent down to get a better look. Sliding my hair out of my eyes, his eyes widened. "Arminell!" He blurted out. I smiled a bit, chuckling.

"Uh, duh" I stuck out my tongue.

"Well, gee, you couldn't bother to get taller?" I blushed and punched him.

"GET LOST" I turned away. He laughed and hugged me.

"Good to have you back"

"Yeah whatever" I shrugged him off and sat down, "Suck up"

We talked the rest of the way on the train. Catching up on recent events and changes, like Flint's goal is to get through the year and graduate because he hates this dumb school. I don't think it's that bad. When we reached Hogwarts, we listened as Dumbledore drawled on about the rules; the same EXACT speech as last year. All up until he introduced Professor Remus Lupin. The man I ran into on the train. I must talk to him. I simply must.

With that goal in mind, I tapped my foot impatiently during dinner, eating as fast as I could and stalking up to the common room before the first years filled in, Draco and Blaise on my tail, asking what was wrong. I ran up to the girl's common room, which immediately rejected the boy's entrance, and looked urgently for my book on werewolves, which was the best one that I bought, and I bought a lot.

Scanning over the content one last time, I checked over the facts I kept on tab. Then, I shut the book and slide it under my bed, listening to the rustling of the first years, and bolted out the door.

Unfortunately, I was stopped by a babbling first year girl, gripping my arm tight with concern.

"Yes" I tapped my foot, irritated at all the people stopping me on my quest.

"Can you please help me?" I rolled my eyes and turned to her.

"Sure" I can't turn down a first year. Maybe, I'll tell her Snape is the voice of god. That'll help her out a bit.

"Well, you see, I have this problem." Well, no duh, "There's this girl that's been bothering me on the train. And she's in this house."

"Do you know her name?" I bent down to her height, considering she was quite small.

"No, but she's right over there." She pointed directly at Pansy Parkinson. Of course, she did...

"I understand. Wait here" I got back up and walked over to Pansy, pointing my wand at her. "Hey! What gives her the right to pick on a little girl, huh?" I shouted as she turned to me.

"Oh, get over it Alysia! It was harmless fun!" She simply laughed a little, turning towards Millicent until I grabbed her arm.

"What did you do to her?" I shouted.

She scoffed as Millicent snorted a laugh. Fat bitch.

Oh, but of course, the second she saw Draco, she was instantly happy.

"Drakie-poo!!!" She ran at him obnoxiously, shouting out gross and lovey-dovey names. He cursed under his breathe and looked at me with a pleading look in his eyes. I smirked with amusement and patted the young girl's head, then realizing that my episode with that pug-face made me miss the bed time, and thusly unable to finish my goal. I hate her so much.....


A/N ITS SUPER LATE!!!! IM SOOO SORRY!!!! I HAD A HORRIBLE CASE OF WRITERS BLOCK!!!! REVIEW!!!!!! Oh, and does anybody have a problem with the changes? If you do, let me know.

DID ANYBODY GET THE VOICE OF GOD REFERENCE???? *It was from the movie Dogma, where Alan Rickman, the actor of Snape, plays the Metatron, or the voice of god. Just putting it out there*
