Sorry. ok. Enough complaining on my side. Time to go on with the story. I tell you. Its the longest i have ever gone with any fanfic so enjoy.
Chapter 6 : A new attitude.
The first of September finally dawned upon the teenagers of Riddle Manor. Clarissa was the first one to wake up since she was an early riser since the first year at Hogwarts. She got off the bed and was ready to change when she saw Draco Malfoy sleeping on the couch next to the fire place. She was immediately blown away by his almost-naked glory. Dressed only in black silk boxers, its showed off his toned biceps and well chiseled chest thanks to quidditch throughout the years. She remembered back in second year when she said that Draco Malfoy bought his way into the team, now she realized that she was wrong. He was good player like anyone else, in fact better, remembering how he caught the snitch in every other game against Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw. Griffyndor? Well, there was only Harry Potter, the best seeker since blah blah blah. Let Harry Potter have all the fame he wanted, who gives a damn? Not her for sure, she can't care anymore. Being who she is, the daughter of the Dark Lord. They will hate her for sure, or maybe think that she was under some spell. There is no way they will let her off like that. Tears were threatening to spill if she did not stop thinking of the-boy-who-lived. She looked at Draco Malfoy before she went into the bathroom and saw him quiver slightly. She summoned a blanket to keep him warm and left to change.
Clarissa finished changing and noticed that Draco was no longer sleeping on the couch, instead, there was no sign of him at all. The couch was empty and the bed was made. Clarissa shrugged and started packing her clothes into her trunks. As she was placing clothes in, she noticed that there was not enough space in the trunk, unlike last year where there was always space to put extra books for intensive studying. But unlike last year, she was now rich and had a lot more clothes and school robes. She shrank all her clothes and managed to stuff all her books into the trunk and went downstairs for breakfast.
As she was walking down the stairs she saw Paige, Hayden and Draco already eating their breakfast. Clarissa took her seat and saw Paige's cat Tiara resting on the dining table only then she remembered about Crookshanks, her long forgotten tabby cat that was left in the Granger house.
"Oh fuck. My cat!" Clarissa exclaimed and she almost choked on her pumpkin juice. The boys had a shock and almost choked on their food as well.
"I got you an owl. Its in the car. You'll see it later." Clarissa let out a relief sigh and started on her breakfast. The rest of breakfast was eaten in silence and her father was no where in sight since the initiation ceremony.
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
After breakfast which ended at about eight, the four teenagers went to get their trunks and set off to the train station in a car. Its was not long before they reached the train station. Their driver put their trunks on trolleys and left. With their tickets in their hands, they walked into the barrier between platforms 9 and 10, Hayden went through first followed by Paige, Draco and finally Clarissa with her new black owl on her trolley. The train attendant took their luggage and their caged animals as they headed towards the train looking for their heads compartment.
Harry, Ron and Ginny were looking for Hermione Granger, their best friend for six years. They kept staring at the barrier to see if she was coming anytime soon.
"What has happened to her? She did not reply any of our letters towards the end of summer!" Ron was panicking since he was at The Burrow.
"Don't worry, I'm sure she will be alright, she is Hermione. Oh look, there she is and what the fuck is she doing with those Slytherin idiots?" now Ron was not the only one panicking, now Harry was too, after seeing Hermione walk through the barrier with the Head Boy and the Assistant Heads. Both the boys also noticed how they changed, her hair now wavy, she had grown taller, her breast bigger they even noticed her more prominent cheekbones. Harry and Ron ran towards her and called her name.
Clarissa felt the urge to turn around and greet them like she always did when they called her name but now she knew better, she could not acknowledge them unless it was to insult them. She began walking faster to avoid them but before she knew it, she was being jerked back by Ron.
"Hermione, why are you ignoring us?" Ron's face was clearly turning red. Clarissa quickly regained her composure and faced Ron and Harry.
"I'm sorry, you got the wrong person. I am not Hermione. My name is Clarissa Riddle." The boys eyes went wide in shock. Their best friend is now the daughter of the darkest wizard alive. Clarissa turned around and walked willingly into the arms of Draco Malfoy as they got into the train.
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
In the Heads Compartment in Hogwarts Express, Clarissa was sobbing in the arms of her fellow Head Boy. Paige and Hayden overtook their duties in patrolling the train.
"Its so difficult, to turn away from them just like that." she managed to speak in between sobs. Draco said nothing but comforted her by rubbing his hand up and down her back, trying to make her feel better. She dug her head deeper into his chest and continued crying.
Paige and Hayden were patrolling the train for about 15 mins now. The both of them agreed to leave the Clarissa and Draco alone to talk it out. After they patrolled the train, they decided to visit their fellow Slytherin classmates. It was not long before they found them because they sat at their usual compartment. Paige and Hayden walked in to see Pansy Parkinson and Blaise Zabini snogging the living daylights out of each other , Goyle and Crabbe were stuffing their faces with chocolate frogs, all of them oblivious to the fact that Paige and Hayden just entered the compartment.
" Tsk tsk. Found yourself a new victim now that Draco could not be bothered with you?" Paige said with a smirk on her face. Blaise and Pansy broke away from her and gave a not so menacing death glare. Paige just pushed it aside and walked off with Hayden following behind her. As Paige walked pass an empty compartment, Hayden slid open the door and pushed her in.
"What the hell are you thinking?" Paige almost yelled as she fell onto the seat. Hayden sat opposite her and signaled her to be quiet.
"You should show more respect to the co-captain of the qudditch team." Paige could not believe her ears. Sure, he was a good keeper, but he? A co-captain? That was unbelievable.
"Who the fuck made you the co-captain?" the smirk on Hayden's face grew bigger.
"Malfoy." He said, simply making a statement. Paige's face was turning into a bright shade of pink with anger. Hayden let out a small chuckle.
"What the fuck is so funny?"
"I'll make a bet with you. The first match of the year is most likely with Gryffindor."
"Yea so?"
"If you score more goals than I can keep, I'll do anything you want for the rest of the year. And if I win, you'll have to do what ever I want you to do, for the rest of the year." Paige was clearly considering what Hayden had to offer.
"I accept, but I will not do your homework or your duties or anything school related." Hayden nodded to her conditions. Paige stuck her hand out to seal the bet but he shook his head and pushed it away.
"Lets do it in a different way this time." Paige raised her eyebrows. Hayden leaned in and gave her a kiss. It was a sweet soft lingering kiss, his tongue caressing her lips to seek entrance. Just as Paige allowed him in, he pulled away, letting her beg for more but she refused, instead, she pulled his collar for another kiss. This kiss was not so gentle. This kiss was a kiss of suppressed passion. Paige was nibbling Hayden's lips, his tongue probing for entrance once more and Paige was more then willing. The moment his tongue entered her mouth, she pulled away and smirked.
"No one plays with me and gets away with it." Paige said triumphantly. Hayden only smirked, he got up and walked towards the Heads compartment, with a highly annoyed Paige behind.
They were back into the Heads compartment in a matter of minutes. Clarissa had stopped crying for sometime now. During the absence of Paige and Hayden, a fifth year prefect delivered a letter to the Head Boy and Girl as well as the Assistant Head Boy and Girl. The letter held the information of their living quarters, their passwords, the passwords of the different houses and the duties they have to carry out. After they read the letter, they decided to change into their school robes. It was not long before the reached Hogsmed station. The four teenagers got off the train and got into their carriage.
Once they reached the great hall, Clarissa had to break away from the rest to sit at the end of Gryffindor table. After everyone was seated, Professor McGonagall brought the First Years into the Great Hall and the sorting began. Halfway through, an unexpected name was call out for sorting.
"Clarissa Adria Riddle." Clarissa was shock and so was the rest of the school, mummers started and wouldn't stop until Clarissa stood up and walked to towards the sorting hat. She sat on the stool and Professor McGonagall placed to sorting hat on her head, and almost immediately shouted Slytherin. Paige, Hayden and Draco smirked as Clarissa walked to ward their table and sat at the empty seat next to Paige.
After the sorting, Professor Dumbledore stood up and everyone turned his attention towards him and started his speech about the forbidden forest, curfew, and prefects.
"This year's Head Boy and Head Girl are Draco Malfoy and Clarissa Riddle. As you all know, Miss Riddle was previously known as Hermione Granger, please treat her with respect since she is the head girl. As you all are wondering why Slytherin does not have prefects is because this year's Assistant Heads are Paige Riddle and Hayden Clan. If you all please, dinner may begin." With a wave of his hand, food appeared on the tables and everyone started eating.
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
After the feast, Paige and Hayden led the first years to their dorms. They gave out instructions to the first years and announced that the qudditch tryouts for chaser and two beaters were on Saturday.
