Chapter 5:
Raine walked along side Kay and Blaise, in a midst of other students, until they all stopped along a wall in the dungeon. "Alright, everyone listen up. Professor Snape has informed me this years password is 'Atta Leucar'. This is the only time I will tell you, so if you forget, its your own problem."
Raine soon realized it was Draco who was speaking. *What in ass!!* Raine thought as she followed everyone into the hole in the wall that led to the common room, which roared loudly as people settled into the oversized black leather couches and chairs, or into the tables set up for them to work at. She looked around and felt instantly at ease.
Someone had started a fire under an elaborately carved mantelpiece, which was now at full blaze. Raine yawned, she was extremely exhausted, for she had only slept that few hours on the plane in the last two days. She had never been able to sleep in moving vehicles, a trait that annoyed her, but could not be changed.
"Ummm... would you mind showing me to my room?" Raine asked, turning towards Kay who was sitting on the couch next to Blaise.
"Sure, no problem." Kay said then turned to Blaise "I'll be right back, baby." Kay kissed his cheek and skillfully jumped over the back of the couch to where Raine was standing.
Raine followed Kay down three flights of stairs, finally pushing open a door on the left. A girl with shoulder length light brown hair, which had hints of red highlights in it, was already in the room and was hanging up her things in the closet.
"Purity, this is Raine. She's gonna take the empty bed." Kay said as Raine noticed that all her things, including her owl, were at the end of one of the four-poster beds that had dark green hangings and silver beddings. Raine silently wondered how they got there.
"Hey." Purity said as she walked back to her bad and grabbed another arm full of clothes.
"I'm gonna head back up now, are you going to be ok?" Kay asked, missing Blaise already. Ever since the two of them had starting dating, they were never far apart from each other.
"Yeah, I'll be fine, thanks" Raine said and Kay disappeared out the door.
"Interesting name." Raine said in a friendly tone, trying to make conversation, as she sat on her bed which happened to be right next to Purity's.
Purity laughed. "My parents' brilliant idea, so that everyone would know that I was a pureblood and not muggle born. Frankly I couldn't care less if anyone thought that I was muggle born." Purity said in a nice tone so Raine didn't think she was being snobby. "How about your name, Its quite unique."
"I think my mum just wanted me to have a name pertaining to weather like hers."
"And what's her name?"
"Aurora."
"That's pretty." Purity had finally finished hanging her things and laid on her bed facing Raine, so that Raine could see the intricate highlights in her hair more closely.
"Do you know Draco Malfoy?" Raine inquired as she wondered how long it took to do that to her hair.
"Everyone knows Draco. Why do you ask?" Purity responded.
"What year is he?"
"He's in ours." Purity laughed.
"GREAT!" Raine said with sarcasm. "Is he always and ass, or just the first day?"
This caused Purity to bust out laughing. "No, he's always like that. The first day is usually when he's the nicest. What did he do?" she inquired.
"Nothing really. He just has this aura about him."
"Its best to just avoid him and his gonnies, Crabbe and Goyle, as much as possible. And whatever you do, try not to make him angry!"
"Thanks for the advise, but I think I could give him a run for his money." Raine laughed.
"If you say so!?" Purity said in a disbelieving tone as she crawled off her bed, and started to change into her night clothes. *No one could match Draco* she mused.
Raine, thinking it was a good idea, followed suit. They talked for a while longer, as they laid in bed... and soon Raine was fast asleep.
***********************************
"Raine...come on, get up! You don't want to be late for your first day do you?" Kay shook her awake.
"5 more minutes, Mum...." Raine said as she rolled over.
"Honey, I ain't your Mum... Get up or you will be late." Kay laughed, as she ran a brush through her dirty blonde hair.
"I'm sorry...." Raine said, shocked. As she turned over to look at her new friend, her face was beat red.
"Don't worry about it.... but you better get a move on, cuz we still need to go down to the Great Hall and eat breakfast and get out schedules."
Raine crawled out of her bed and went into the bathroom to shower, after she grabbed her uniform. Once out of the shower, she quickly dressed, put on a little make up, and used a spell to dry her hair. Raine came out of the bathroom just as Kay was leaving.
"Sorry I took so long" Raine said apologetically.
"Don't worry so much, I was just going to go wait for you in the common room. You really should have stayed awake last night, it was so funny. Draco relived Harry Potter's most embarrassing moments for us. You do know who Harry is, right?"
"Yes... I met him on the train here. He wasn't at all what I expected him to be, that's for sure." Raine said.
"I know, he is so runty!!! Nothing like my BABY" Kay laughed as her and Raine walked up the stairs to the common room, which was deserted. "We better get going, we are already late."
"Better late then never! And besides, we want to make an entrance don't we?" Raine said with a sly grin.
"Oooo.... I like the way you think. Do you think that would work the next time I am late for class?" Kay asked with a laugh.
"Hey, its worth a try!" Raine said as they walked up the stairs out of the dungeon.
Once in the Great Hall, Raine took her seat next to Kay and Blaise, as he handed them their schedules.
"We have Transfiguration, then Muggle Studies, and then Potions after lunch" Kay said with a sigh. "And look... what a shocker, we are with Gryffindor for all of them."
"When will Dumbledore learn that we don't like Gryffindor?" Blaise added.
Raine looked down at her list:
Monday: Transfiguration, Muggle Studies, Lunch, Potions
Tuesday: Care of Magical Creatures, Defense Against the Dark Arts, Lunch, Herbology
Wednesday: Charms, History of Magic, Lunch, Astronomy
Thursday: Ancient Runes, Arithmancy, Lunch, Muggle Music
Friday: Mythology, Journalism, Lunch
*Sounds like loads of fun!* Raine thought to herself as the bells rang for her to go to her first class.
"Wow, we have the exact same schedule!!! That's cool, especially because some of the classes are new this year!" Kay exclaimed as she examined Raine's schedule on the way to Transfiguration.
"I guess we seem to have the same taste then when it comes to picking electives." Raine laughed as Kay handed her back her schedule and entered a class room. The same stern looking woman that had put the hat on her head at the sorting ceremony, sat behind the desk in the room. Raine saw Hermione sitting up towards the front, with Ron and Harry. Hermione motioned for her to come sit with them, but Kay had already dragged her over to a table towards the back. Raine gave Hermione a sympathetic look and mouthed "Sorry" as she took the seat next to Kay.
As Raine experienced her first day at Hogwarts, life seemed to fly by. Raine thought McGonagall was more funny than scary, but hid her laughs every time McGonagall would look her way. Muggle Studies was very boring... Raine would have fallen asleep if it wasn't for that fact that her and Kay kept making fun of the teacher. For he was shorter than anyone she had ever met! He had to stand on twelve books just to reach the top of his desk!
Her final class was Potions, way down in the dungeon. Raine entered the dimly lit dungeon class room after lunch. Today's classes were actually fun, Kay and herself had kept well intertained.
"Alright, we can't act like we have in other classes. Professor Snape will kill us, literally." Kay said seriously.
"Who'd you say the teacher was?" Raine asked as she stopped her infornt of the doorway.
"Professor Snape...."
"TAKE YOUR SEATS." snarled a tall man with long gressy looking black hair, who had appeared in the dooway behind them.
"Yes, sir." Kay said as she ushered Raine with her to the nearest empty desk with two empty chairs.
Raine reached into her bag and took out a roll of parchment and her favorite pink quill and ink. While bringing them up to place on the table, she dropped her quill and almost dropped the glass bottle of ink. Riane put the ink and parchment on the table, then bent back down to pick up her quill, only she didn't find it on the floor, instead someone was holding it out to her. Raine glanced up to find out who it was that the hand holding her quill belonged to.
*Of course, it had to be him!!* Raine thought as she reached out to grab her quill from Draco, who pulled it out of her grasp.
"Malfoy, it seems you have taken a liking to our new student, so you can pair up with her to complete the potion I was just explaining. Lets hope she isn't a complete failure like Longbottom, here."
"I don't want to" Draco said, half whining.
Hermione's hand shot in the air, "I will help her, Professor."
Snape's gaze turned stone clod as his head turned towards Hermione. "Just because we have a new student, doesn't mean that you need to show off, Miss Granger. 5 points from Gryffindor." Snape spat.
"I'd like her to help me!" Raine came to her defense, after all, Hermione was just trying to help, and Riane would have done anything not to be paired with Draco. Snape didn't need to be so mean.
"I don't care what you want." Snape shot at Raine.
"I guess the feelings mutual then. So I'll see you next week!" Raine was pissed. She shoved all her things into her bag as she talked and after she said her last word, she turned on her heels and marched out of the door, before Snape could say anything back to her.
*She'll pay dearly for that one. NO ONE walks out on me!!!" Snape fumed. "Get back to work, ALL OF YOU!"
Raine walked along side Kay and Blaise, in a midst of other students, until they all stopped along a wall in the dungeon. "Alright, everyone listen up. Professor Snape has informed me this years password is 'Atta Leucar'. This is the only time I will tell you, so if you forget, its your own problem."
