Hey again people, this chapter is shorter thanI had intended becauseI wanted to get it up quickly. So please refrain from throwing sharp objects in my general direction, XD!

Spontasmic: BLOODY SEXY (another wordI created)
/o/
Draco Malfoy was confused . . . and he hated it. Those eyes that had flashed a bright magenta at him, those eyes that were now observing him casually in all their tumultuous glory, they were powerful; ancient almost. The owner of the eyes had brushed her hair away from her neck so that it fell over her shoulder, down to her waist. Her lips were slightly curved upward in an odd smile that unnerved the blonde teen for some reason. Everything about her was surreal, the way she moved, the way she could see right through you almost. But the way she talked . . . was just like any other normal person, just a bigger vocabulary than most teenagers.
Shifting his gaze so that he could study his cousin he was caught by her strangeness once more. She was gorgeous with shoulder length golden blonde hair and violet eyes, her skin was tanned which was unusual for a Malfoy but she went against everything Malfoy anyway. But after talking with her and her friends he was starting to doubt that his contemptuous thoughts on her were justified. So he blanked his mind and gave her a cool stare. She was grinning at one of her friends. A girl with black hair and red hazel eyes that he vaguely remembered being called Shari.
"So is this what it feels like to have a family get together?" The girl sitting next to Blaise asked with a hint of sadness. Her gray eyes looked awkward as she waited for an answer. The group of girls stopped talking immediately and Draco knew that there was something that had caused that reaction. Some painful event that had quieted their tongues as they regarded the girl carefully.
"No Toni, family doesn't usually snob you off." Casey said slowly as she moved from the sofa she was on to sink down next to Toni and take the girl in her arms. A comforting hug. Draco was confused . . . and he hated it, still. Toni rolled her eyes.
"Case, you don't have to baby me. I've never had a family so don't worry." She choked out through a bout of laughter. She was sad but her friends attempt at comfort obviously amused her. Casey looked offended.
"Fine then!" She snapped before returning to the sofa she had been on.
"People," The girl with the tumultuous eyes raised her voice in exasperation. "Just chill!" She looked agitated, like a person who was saying something for the tenth time. "What about you guys . . ." She added, her voice normal again as she stared at Draco and Blaise.
"What about us?" Blaise returned in a cocky voice.
"Don't bull shit Alyssa, she may be short but she's a tough little bugger." Shari laughed. Alyssa looked sulky as she muttered an indignant, "Hey!" She was still sulking as she raised her eyes to stare at the two boys once again.
"Why do you follow prejudice?" She asked curiously. Draco quirked an eyebrow at her as if her question had been stupid . . . but in truth, he just didn't know how to answer. Blaise saved him from that though.
"Because, what we believe is true. Your kind is weak and inferior to us." The auburn haired boy said arrogantly. His confidence was too high, too high.
"Is that so?" There was something cold about Alyssa's voice as she glared at Blaise. She raised herself from the sofa and flicked her hair back over her shoulder. Her eyes flashed again, this time bright orange. "It would do you good to be careful of whom you insult, insufferably child." She growled before she walked out of the room. "I'll see you on the Hogwarts Express tomorrow Casey." She called back over her shoulder.
Blaise looked like a goldfish as his mouth opened and closed repeatedly until Draco smacked him up the back of the head. Of course Draco had been shocked at her last comment but he was sure the shock on Blaise's part was more about being called, what did she say again? Oh yes, 'an insufferable child.' Both boys knew that she was barely a month younger than Draco, that would make her five months younger than Blaise and yet she had called him a 'child?'
"What the hell?" Blaise muttered weakly. Draco looked at Casey who was finding it hard to hide the mirth dancing in her eyes, not that she particularly wanted to hide it.
"Alyssa, controls a rare kind of magic. It was latent until late last year." There was something in his cousin's eyes that made Draco sure that wasn't the truth but he was not going to press it. He was puzzling over the bright orange her eyes had flashed before she left. Her friends had seen it but had not reacted. Blaise had seen it but most likely put it down to his imagination. Why? Why were her eyes like that? Why did they confuse him?
Draco knew what he wanted. A nice hot bath with scented bubble baths and soap. It may sound a bit feminine to want those things but Draco did not give a flying flock of flamingos!

The Hogwarts express blew its whistle as it prepared to leave the station and students rushed to get on at the last minute. Far from being late Harry Potter was tucked away in a secluded compartment that had a locking charm and silencing spell placed over it. He was alone with his thoughts and he liked it that way. Thankfully during the last few days of his holidays Vernon had refrained from beating the shit out of him so his spontasmic looks were back to normal. His ebony hair was its usual messy self and his emerald eyes were still hidden behind his glasses. As for his wardrobe well that had changed thanks to his cousin. He was now dressed in a pair of casual dark blue jeans that were baggy around the legs but fit around his hips snugly with a black T-shirt that had a picture of a man holding a glass of beer. Surrounding the picture were the words:If you think the way to a man's heart is through his stomach . . . you're aiming too high:
Someone tapped on the compartment door but he ignored them preferring the darkness his closed eyes provided. However, it would seem fate didn't like his ignorance and in the next second the door slid open and a girl walked in. "Brooding won't get you anywhere, babe." She said knowingly. Harry barely had time to react before she was in his arm and laughing. He laughed also loving the sound of her voice. He pulled back to look at her properly and grinned. Her eyes were the same war of colours he remembered and her hair still reminded him of silk even if it did look a bit mussed. She was grinned at him in a goofy way.
"Nice to see you again!" She chimed as she sat back. Harry nodded and sighed.
"I can't help brooding Lyss." He said in answer to her earlier statement. "There's so much that needs t be brooded over." She snorted and smacked the back of his head.
"Hush up and cheer up. I am not going to pull you out of one of your trippy depressed moods." She said firmly before pulling him up. "C'mon. I promised Casey that she could meet you." Harry groaned, after all the stories he'd heard about Casey . . .
His thoughts ended as he was shoved into another compartment.

It's short I know, but I wanted to post again! So, I'll try to have the next chapter up soon. And thank you to nocturnallupine for reviewing. You have access to a chocolate covered Malfoy, just pick him up at the post office! XD
