Narcissa
She woke up and found that she was on Lucius's shoulder. Feeling slightly embarrassed she sat up and mumbled an apology. Outside it was already dark and Cissa felt dizzy but she knew she needed to put on her uniform and get woken up, because Hogwarts was right around the corner. The boys left so the girls could get changed
"Narci are you alright?" Eli asked, looking at the girl.
"Yeah I'm feeling fine." She answered while undressing.
"Not feeling Narci, you have a huge bruise on your shoulder."
Cissa felt hot and nervous at this moment, her father had give her that bruise a few days ago. Normally Cissa was very careful about hiding them when she changed but today she was to tired and groggy to even remember she had a bruise.
"Oh yeah…my sister's and I were playing too rough and I got pushed." She lied
Eli looked her in the eyes and Cissa looked away she knew that Eli knew that she wasn't telling the truth. She quickly got dressed then sat back down while Eli went to find the boys. She stared out the window, wishing that her sister's were their to comfort her.
Hogwarts was now visible and Cissa's stomach growled, it had seemed like forever ago since she had the sandwich and sweets. As the train pulled up to the station, Cissa couldn't help to wonder where Eli, Lucius, and Keith had went, The other girls were placing their dolls back into their trunks.
"Hurry Narcissa, we want to get the first carriage." Cecelia said and Pippa nodded.
Cissa quickly placed her doll into her trunk then when the train had stopped she followed her friends off the train and ran with them to the front of the line of carriages and quickly got in. The carriage was cold, Cissa took a breath in and felt the pain in her ribs. In the dim lighting she could she her friends smiling at their accomplishment.
The carriage pulled up and they all went into the great hall. After dinner Headmaster Dumbledore stood, the room fell instantly quite.
"I have some announcements. First, I must request that for the remainder of the year that the Forest is off limits, Second please leave the newly planted willow tree alone. Third, first year girls, by request of parents, will be attending dance lesson's, it is marked on your new schedules that are your houses. That is all." He said before stepping away from the front of the room. Everyone got up and started on their way out of the great hall.
"Dance lessons?" Nora said "imagine that, all us dancing."
"I bet it was the pure bloods that complained, I mean, my mother always says they should teach us something that will actually help us went we get older." Pippa said and Cecelia nodded.
Once in the common room they found their new schedules. The Slytherin's had dance with Gryffindor house to much of their disdain. Upstairs in their room each girl found a blue leotard lying on their bed, Cissa dreaded wearing the tight- thin costume despite her friends excitement.
Narcissa threw it aside then climbed into bed she was dreading tomorrow, but she was too tired to stay away and make today last. Soon after she fell asleep. An alarm woke her up and Cissa got out of bed, her first new class was dance and that was like torture. She ate then went up to put on the leotard before her friends came up. The blue leotard fit tight on her and looking in the mirror a blush filled her cheeks. The others came up and they too got changed.
"This feels weird, why does it have to be blue, does it make me look fat?" Nora complained and Cissa had remembered why she never tried to be Nora's friend, it was because she complained a lot.
"Lets go."
They walked quickly to the room where the dance lessons were to be held. Inside a bunch of girls were talking happily, Cissa wished she shared their enthusiasm. The Gryffindor girls went quite when they walked in. Cissa recognized some of the girls as the ones that Andy and Bella had gotten potion all over. A man walked in along side a women, the room fell silent.
"Line up ageist the wall with the bar." He barked the order and all the girls hurried to the wall. "My name is Professor Mansell and this is my assistant Miss. Korine. I expect grace out of you all."
Professor Mansell had them start with some simple stretches correcting everything that they did. Cecelia made a face at Cissa and Cissa smirked, this man was driving her nuts as well, with his constant yelling.
"Do you find something funny Miss Black?" He asked striding toward her. Cissa didn't say anything, she just looked at the ground. Professor Mansell bent on his knee and looked her in the face. Cissa looked away. He was angry at her disobedience "Tell me what's so funny"
"Nothing sir, nothing at all." She said, he stood straight up and put his hand on her head.
"Good girl" he said and with that he walked back to his assistant and whispered something then he left the room.
"Alright class, hold your arms like this and position your feet this way. I am going to start our lesson with the beauty of Ballot." Miss Korine said. She moved to the bar and slouched down with her arms on the bar for support. "I'm looking at your feet." she answered their unspoken question.
"Now, hold the bar and go on your toes."
The girls did this many went on their flats in a matter of seconds, while others were shaky. Cissa didn't have any problem Miss Korine eyed her then ordered the group to extend one arm and once again Cissa had no problem. The bell rang and the girls hurried out of the room.
