So here I am.
Everything Seem Great.
Parents dead. I hate to sound like I don't care, but its better this way. I always thought they were fine, upstanding members of the community. But I was wrong. As it turns out, they were evil. Working for this guy that was trying to take over the world by using genocide. For ages I thought Australia was too out of the loop for anything related to Voldemort and the like. At my school, Cassiopia College, Harry potter was a legend. THE boy. The boy who lived, and was ever so hot.
As it turned out, my parents were the ones who were leading a branch of death eaters in Australia. If there is one thing that really annoys me it's elitism. That's what this whole "Death Eater" thing is about. The supposed majesty of pure blood wizards and witches. I can hardly comment, since I have been brought up entirely pure blood (I think I have a second cousin who is a squib). But fortunately this attitude hasn't affected me in the least.
The fact is the whole 'elitism' thing is based on quite messy foundations. Muggle born witches and wizards are just as talented as purebloods, otherwise the schools wouldn't let them in. Surely it is better that they be educated in the use of magic rather than causing spontaneous human combustion and the like in public where it will eventually be discovered and a witch hunt will ensue. Surely the unfounded accusations of being "mudblood" (a word I cannot abide) are ridiculously stupid. Frankly, I'm disappointed at this shoddy use of assonance with the "uh" sound in both syllables.
Where was I? So my parents are dead, my uncle, one Severus Snape (a reformed Death Eater) has taken me on and pulled sufficient strings that I can now attend "Hogwarts School of witchcraft and wizardry". Stupid name if you ask me. At least Cassiopia College could be abbreviated to just "Cassie".
Uncle Sev, as I like to call him, has taken me to Hogwarts already. I was meeting the Headmaster. He seems quite crazy, in a senile kind of way, but so very powerful. If I respect anything, it is power. Probably my one weakness. Fortunately, I possess much power over my peers. Go me. Having a superior intellect over most, a charming smile, a body to die for and awesome features gives me the ability to get what I want. It sounds conceited, but years of breeding with in the same circles, gives all purebloods an aristocratic appearance.
While I was at Hogwarts I was sorted by that strange talking hat that gave me some weird advice about uniting the houses. I was sorted in to Gryffindor. Uncle Sev seemed a little put out, but he said he saw it coming... "Too compassionate" he muttered.
Apparently school was not to begin for another eight weeks, and in the meantime, what with the rising power of Voldemort, I was to stay with a girl who was both in my year and an equal in intelligence.
Finally, I thought.
I was no less, being told to stay with, in short, Hermione Granger, a muggleborn and a witch extrodinaire. I was quite happy with this arrangement. Apparently Uncle Sev wasn't. Apparently he didn't like her crowd. Apparently there were some unresolved anger issues there.
So the next day after Dumbledore had received a letter confirming my stay, we used floo powder to go to her house. Her parents, it seemed, were quite progressive with magic technology. Convenient, that.
Uncle Sev and myself were greeted by a girl who was about 5'9" with crazily frizzy hair, but a pleasant countenance. Apparently she inherited the frizzy hair from her mother. Her father was tall and going bald. Both parents wore glasses.
I was way unsure of how to act. So I smiled. Hermione returned the gesture, lifted her hand and said:
"Hi, I'm Hermione. I hope we get along really well because it'll suck if we don't. Or if you're in Slytherin. Not that that is a bad thing," She added hastily as she saw Uncle Sev emerge from the fire. "Its just I'm in Gryffindor. Anyway. If there is anything you want to do or see, we can do that. It'll be great"
"Have you been rehearsing that?" I said with a smile.
"Can you tell?" She replied with an equal smile. Then she added "Hi Professor Snape..." Hermione Cringed.
"Miss Granger. I can't thank you enough for looking after Vyvyan. She is a wonderful girl and I'm sure you will get along just fine." He said with as much enthusiasm as he could muster. Hermione looked confused.
"Thank you So much Mr and Mrs. Granger, for allowing me to stay. It is way hospitable of you." I said before an awkward silence could engulf the room.
Uncle Sev glanced shrewdly around the room. "I must be off." He exclaimed. "Thank you Very much," he nodded at the Grangers, "Vyv, stay out of trouble and don't do anything I wouldn't do"
"Twice!" I added, grinning cheesily.
He rolled his eyes and disappeared in to the green flames.
Mrs. Granger insisted i sit down and tell them about me while we had tea (milk and one sugar). I obliged. i gave them my life, slightly abridged. A history of my school, which, as it turns out, is very similar to Hogwarts. Hermione and I began talking about school and favourite subjects. Both of us adore Athrithmacy and detest Divination (such a waste of time). She told me about her friends. Apparently she is best friends with Harry Potter (!!) and Ron Weasley. I was so stoaked. I asked her if she thought they would accept me. She said she was sure of it! When Hermione asked me about my friends, I told her I didn't really have close friends. The guys at my school just drooled (she laughed) and the girls were all so shallow, only asking how I did my hair, or whatever. All I knew was I wasn't going to miss them
We laughed about how conceited i was.
So here I am. Dragging my trunk, with the "Cassie" motif (a platypus, a hamster, a moose and a cassowary around a 'C' on a shield) still burnt in to the side, up the stairs to the bedroom that will be my own. Hermione seems great. In fact everything seems great.
A/N: I may or may not write more of this story depending on reviews. Its not supposed to be serious. If i write another chapter I'll do Voldemort in more detail and so on. Also Draco will have a pretty major part i.e it'll be a DM/OC story. The fate of this story lies entirely in your hands. Thanks for reading!!
