The wind blew into a large green room, dancing around the green drapes and around a young girl's pretty black hair. Her eyes fluttered open as she glanced around her own room, dreading the day before her. With a dead mother and a hating father, life was pretty bad for Max Connors. Of course, now it would be different. This year was Max , Max was to become a Death Eater. Hopefully this would please her father, and if not, then she was seventeen and could go live alone.
Max was of course, in Slytherin. She had been given a chance to enter Ravenclaw, but denied it, wanting to please her father. She remembered that day ever so well.
Max woke up, ready to start her first day at Hogwarts. She yearned to please her father, Nate Connors. He wanted a boy as a child, but his wife bore a girl. So Nate had killed his wife, yet kept the daughter. He felt that his master would have some use for her, even if he did not. Max had attended a small muggle school. She only had one friend there, but it hurt to much to think about him, so she ignored that fact that she would miss him and prepared for her new life as a Slytherin.
"You know you would do well in Ravenclaw," The sorting had droned on.
"No, I want to be in Slytherin," Max thought. The sorting hat agreed, seeing that Max's character fit the house perfectly. Max smirked before jumping off the stool, not even bothering to glance back to see her best friend being sorted.
Max shook her head. She didn't need to dwell on what happened seven years ago. Max climbed out of bed and combed her hair. Then she prepared for her journey to Hogwarts, with no idea that this year would change her life.
"It's sickening" Pansy Parkinson said, sneering at Draco Malfoy flirting with some tramp.
"Aw, come on, no one really cares. I sure don't. Malfoy could rot in hell and I would be laughing" Max said, smirking in his direction. She had always hated Malfoy for some reason. He was arrogant and cocky.
"Oh, come on, don't be jealous!" Mercury McGovern said, smirking.
"Yeah, Max, loosen up!" her sister, Mercedes added. Mercury and Mercedes were the Slytherin Gossip twins. They knew everything about everybody, except Max. Nobody would ever know about Max's secrets, not even the ones she shared them with.
"I am loose. You just need to get a life!" Max sneered, pushing Mercedes into a door of the train. Max sneered and flipped her hair, smiling in a very fake way.
"Smooth." Pansy said, though no one was sure who she was talking about. No one cared. That was normal, though. If you were in Slytherin you only cared about yourself. Now, I'm sure you are all expecting me to say Max Connors was different, but she wasn't. Max Connors was a typical Slytherin girl.
"Aw, now that's gross!" Max said, sneering in the direction of Harry Potter and Ginny Weasley in a lip lock.
"Please, get a room, lock yourselves in it, and never come out! No one wants to see your ugly faces, especially when they are stuck together!" Mercury yelled. Max laughed.
"I wouldn't be talking!" Ginny said, removing her lips from Harry's.
"Ginny, leave it, they aren't worth it." Harry said, pulling her away from the girls.
"What does he mean we aren't worth it?" Pansy asked.
"It means he is too scared to fight us." Max laughed.
"You are so right! Come on, let's go find Blaise or somebody." Mercedes said. The girls nodded and walked off with her. Max sneered, but glanced back and Harry who was now talking with Ginny. Max's sneer fell as memories of her past flooded back to her. Of course he wouldn't remember. None of them do.
"What are you staring at, Connors?" Harry asked.
"Nothing that concerns you!" Max yelled, turning around to follow what was as close to a friend as she was going to get. Harry shook his head, not recognizing the lies. Harry, nor anyone else, could see the truth is Max's heart. It was like she was wearing a mask, and when she looked in the mirror she saw The Slytherin Queen. Not even Max could remember what she was like, seven years ago.
