Disclaimer I don't own anything! Well I do own the clothes that I'm
wearing and various other items that are mine but I don't own any of these
characters except Arianna, Violet and various other First Years.
Author's Note You probably just finished the first chapter which I just posted but here's chapter two, so take that Emily! Anyway enough with my odd craziness here's the story!
I stood on platform nine and three-quarters. Mother and Father were saying goodbye to Draco and I. As Father talked with Draco about something or other and Mother was fixing her hair, I stood wishing for them to hurry it up. I didn't want to end up with an awful seat on the train. The last call whistle went and Father looked at me.
"Has your trunk been loaded?" I nodded. "Very well. Send me an owl after you've been sorted." Father turned away and patted Draco on the back. Mother gave Draco and I a hug, more so for appearances than actual feeling. Then she did something that shocked me. Once Father turned around she gave me a quick kiss and said not to worry, I'll do fine. She then hurried to catch up with Father. Draco looked from her to me and raised his eyebrows. I just shrugged my shoulders and got aboard the train.
I enter a compartment near the end of the train. I noticed four other occupants, a girl, two boys and an older man possibly a teacher. The three students began talking about the man whom I learned was Professor R.J. Lupin and was the new Defence Against The Dark Arts teacher. Their conversation became boring so I took out my wand and began playing with a glamour spell. Once I got my wand Mother said it was the most important spell for a witch to know. I changed my white blonde hair red, then black, then brown. Finally for the fun of it bright pink. My eyes I changed green, blue and hazel before going back to my natural grey. I heard the sleeping Professor make a sound and glanced over to see the girl staring quizzically at me.
"Hello." The girl came over and sat down just across from me. "My name is Hermione Granger and those are my friends Ronald Weasley and Harry Potter." She could not tell if I recognized their names for my eyes showed nothing. A trait that I got from the Black side of the family, the ability to hide the feelings in your eyes easily. I, of course, knew the names. Potter was The Boy Who Lived and the Weasley's were great Muggle lovers. Mr. Weasley was also on the Ministry of Magic.
"I am Arianna Malfoy." I shook the hand she had offered. I had seen a flicker in her eyes when I said my name. It looked a bit like hatred, fear, curiosity, and perhaps even envy.
"Are you a First Year?" Harry looked over at me. I seen Ron elbow him in the ribs. Probably for fraternizing with the enemy.
"Yes, this will be my first year at Hogwarts." I gave what was the obvious reply.
"Which house do you want to be sorted into?" It was Ron this time, trying to get me to say I wanted to be in Slytherin I bet. I didn't get to reply because an old witch came by with a trolley of sweets. Harry got some Cauldron Cakes and Hermione tried to wake Professor Lupin.
"He hasn't died has he?" Ron looked at the sleeping teacher. No one was able to answer him because the compartment door slid open and Draco came in with Crabbe and Goyle behind him.
"What do you want Malfoy?" Harry glared at Draco who glared back.
"Tut, tut. Potter do watch your manners. I'm just here to have a word with Arianna." He then sat down next to me. "Arianna, you do realize the company you're keeping? Mudblood and poverty? You mustn't forget your blood." At this point he tapped my wrist right over the artery.
"Of course not dear brother. Had I been able to get here sooner I would be sitting with more favourable companions." I used the cool tone we Malfoy's had when we talked about blood. Draco stood up and with a goodbye Potty and Weasel he left.
I looked away from the eyes I could feel on me. I heard whispering and instead of wanting to know what was happening I spent the rest of the afternoon staring out the window and glamouring clothes. It was dark when the train began to slow down. I had thought we were there but my companions proved me wrong. Then suddenly all the lights went out and it was pitch black. There were a few moments of confusion among the three. Then a Neville and Ginny came in and added to the confusion. Then there was a small amount of light, Professor Lupin had awoken and held what appeared to be a ball of flames. He told us all to stay where we were. No problem for me, I had done the smart thing and didn't move. I guess the Professor was going to check and see what wrong but then the door opened.
A figure came in wearing a long black cloak with a hood covering its face. I knew what it was. A Dementor. I felt the cold as it sucked in the happiness around it. I seen the new girl Ginny had shrank into a corner crying, Hermione was shaky and nervous, Ron and Neville were really pale, and I even felt a few tears run down my cheek but Harry seemed to have the worst reaction. He went rigid and fell from his seat twitching and then he fainted.
"Go. Sirius Black is not here." Professor Lupin pulled out his wand and pointed it at the Dementor. When the Dementor didn't move he said something and silver came from his wand, which made the Dementor turn and leave. I had seen this spell before but couldn't remember when or the name. The lights came back on and the five began talking and telling Harry what had happened. Professor Lupin handed each of us a large piece of chocolate. I held mine in my hands and examined it. Mother had always said chocolate was your thigh's enemy. The Professor gave me a look and I slowly put the chocolate in my mouth.
I had gotten off the train and heard someone say "Firs' years this way!" I turned and saw a gigantic man. He must be that games keeper that Draco was always calling a bumbling idiot. I saw Draco and gave a small smile. He nodded. Moments later I heard the voice of my brother go "You fainted Potter!?". I smiled and followed the other First Years as we climbed into some rickety boats. I got into a boat with two other girls. One had short brown hair with green eyes, and the other jet black hair with blue eyes. The girl with brown hair picked up an oar paddle thingy. The other girl and I just looked at it. Hagrid then came over and handed the two of us one and we started off.
"Yours is upside down." The black haired girl pointed to my paddle. I looked at the piece of wood in my hands. I was pretty sure I was holding it right.
"No. I think yours is." We had started to go in circles again when the brown haired girl turned around.
"Your both holding your paddles wrong. Yours is upside down and yours should be in the water." With that she turned around muttering something about poor little rich girls. The black haired girl and I shared a look and began to giggle. We both straightened up showing that we weren't supposed to giggle, which sent us into another fit of giggles.
All the first years were standing in the Entrance Hall waiting for Professor McGonagall to call us in for the sorting ceremony. The black haired girl from the boat ride over approached me.
"Hello, I'm Violet Flint." She put a strand of hair behind her ear and offered her hand.
"Arianna Malfoy. Are you related to Marcus Flint?" I shook her hand and smiled. Draco had mentioned Marcus as the Captain of the Slytherin Quidditch team.
"Yes, he's my brother. Malfoy? As in Lucius Malfoy?" I wasn't able to answer her because Professor McGonagall began to lead us into the Great Hall. This was the first time I met my best friend through out my school years.
So what do you guys think? Chapter one kinds of sounded diary like but then the end of it and chapter two kind of changed that hope you don't mind! But it doesn't matter if you do because I'm the author! Nah I'm just kidding if you have anything nice to say about this then review if not e-mail me...I don't want people to be able to see my flames! So please don't flame!
