I know, I know. Two chapters in the same day. Well, I'm not sure when I'll be back with another, so eat it while you can!!
Chapter Two: A Proper Introduction
I had better introduce myself. My full name is Lisa Dylan Turpin. No one ever calls me that, though. You see, I wasn't born at a convenient time for my parents. My mother then said it was fate, or Karma, that had sent me to her. So before I was born, my mother and father and everyone else were calling me Karma. After that, the name just stuck, although my grandparents never call me Karma, seeing as I am named for them. But everyone else does, except for the new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, because there is a new every year.
I am sixteen years old, and I'm a Ravenclaw sixth year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. I have black hair cut to my chin, dark brown eyes framed by long eyelashes and cat-eye glasses, and dark brown skin.
My mother is Indian, and very opinionated. She's a lawyer for a large environmental protection agency, but before she decided to settle down long enough to get her degree, she spent years as one of those people who would chain themselves together around a tree to keep the bulldozer from tearing it down, and then end up arrested because they weren't supposed to even be near the tree.
My father is also opinionated, but he has always had a better way of getting it out. My father was so confident that his band would be successful; he didn't bother to go to college. He and the band played local gigs until they got the attention of a major label. Dad was signed and recording by the age of 20.
Now back to me. Or my Watchee. Both Watchees, technically. One of them is named Harry Potter. You may have heard of him. You know the one who defeated the Dark Lord, and has escaped him a record of five times. He's a Gryffindor. The other is Draco Malfoy. He is pretty much the opposite of Harry, except for age and year. He's in Slytherin, his father is the Dark Lord's right hand man, and his mother comes from a long line of people who have completely supported him. I can go on and on forever with everything I know about the both of them, including their favorite ice cream flavors. I know, it sounds like I'm a stalker. But these are the sort of things that come in handy.
As I have said, I have no intention to ever meet either of my Watchees. I'm good friends with Hermione Granger, who is close to Harry, and I'm leaving it at that. I'll be dead if he ever finds out that I could have stopped, well, everything that went wrong in his life.
Draco, on the other hand, wouldn't know what to do if he found out about me. He likes to deny that there is anything wrong in his life, but it is hard for him to hide the bruises and cuts given to him by both parents.
I must admit, I have been in love with each of them in turn. But, thank Krishna that I got over them.
And now, after an uneventful summer for the both of them, we all go back to school in a week. Oh joy. Harry will manage to get himself into some sort of trouble, Draco will torment him, and I'll make sure they don't kill each other. Just another day in the peculiar life I lead.
