"What are you doing all alone back here?" Ron asked.
"My cousin ditched me"
"Who?"
"Draco"
Harry choked. "Draco is your cousin…what an unlikely person"
"Excuse me!" Cassandra took offence. "My cousin is usually very good to me and I hate people who disrespect my family!"
"I'm sorry"
" That's ok, you didn't know…just please don't talk bad about him if ever you are in my presence, He has been very good to me and I have better things to worry about then you lot and your problem with my cousin."
" Your new here what possible things would you have to worry about?" Hermionie said. It seems like she doesn't like Cassandra very much, even though she has barley spent more then two seconds with her
"She doesn't need to prove her self to you Herms, your just threatened by another smart girl, your scared she's going to out do you in your classes." Harry snapped
" Harry what's gotten in to you?" Ron exclaimed with a confused look on his face
" Your right Ron… I'm sorry Herms
Cassandra spent the rest of the train ride getting to know Hermionie, Ron and Harry. She heard all about their adventures at Hogwarts and family stuff. And every thing they could tell her about her " good for nothing cousin"
The
whole train ride she was thinking one thing and only one thing
I thought I had told them not to talk about Draco… She sat
there fighting the urge to curse each and every one of them. I
don't care about things that happened 5 years ago, I only car about
one thing… how I can get Harry. That Hermionie is going to be a
hard one to get rid of…
Suddenly the train came to another jolt and she almost flew forward again.
" Well we
should be getting to the carriages now. " Harry exclaimed and they
all left the train. Cassandra wound up in the same carriage as Harry
Ron and Hermionie.
Upon arriving at the school Cassandra is
whisked away to the room where they keep the first years before they
go to get sorted.
The first day was always rough, Cassandra thought. She was sitting in the Ravenclaw common room after her first set of morning classes and was now on a break. She had Advanced Potions first thing and Advanced Defense Against the Dark Arts right after it. They were some pretty tough classes but she managed to out do that filthy mud blood Hermoine and get house points. It still was confusing her how she managed to get into Ravenclaw when she was purely pureblood and evil. Couldn't that stupid excuse for a rag tell that she was the daughter of a most powerful wizard that would one day rule the world? It was all about right and wrong in this world and she was ready to fulfill her destiny. Everyone has a destiny and hers was to lure Harry Potter into her father's clutches.
This plan had to be maneuvered very carefully because the human heart can see things nothing else is able to. She would have to lure Harry, make him like her or even love her. Somehow she had to get him past that Ginny girl and see only her. She needed him to forget everything else in the world. She needed him to forget Hermoine, Ginny, Ron and everyone he cared about and only think of her. It seems selfish but it isn't for her. She would never risk something this serious for herself. It is for her beloved father, even though she couldn't stand him half the time it was also for her beautiful, enchanted mother. The woman was whom she owned her very life to and would do anything for. She needed to study Harry and find his weakness. She needed to know what he liked, perfect the knowledge of his every moment when in battle. All those things were crucial. She would be Harry Potter's undoing.
From watching him in class she knew he relied on his friends. He relied on the thoughts and voices that entered his head when he was ready to give up. She knew all this from watching him and from what her father has shared. During their Potions class she studied him. His movements were not very confident and he always glanced at others to see how things should be done. So he wasn't a potions man, she had thought. A simple potion might have done the trick if that mud blood wasn't his friend. She would have found a way to cure it. That wasn't the way to go.
During Defense Against the Dark Arts she watching him and realized he wasn't about to be fooled by a Boggart or anything. He was way to smart. He had like gut feelings that things weren't as they appeared to be. It was funny how some people could do that so well and others were simply tricked.
Cassandra laughed. She remembered when an illusion came and Ron couldn't believe it was one. He wasn't one of those types of people. She'd be able to trick Ron with an illusion but that still left Hermoine to get out of the way. It was a fun class but she was feeling down by lunch and didn't want to eat. As her professor said earlier in DADA, evil plans don't come easily. It probably takes a long period of time to develop everything to perfection and then someone comes along and ruins it.
She was looking forward to her afternoon classes; she had Care of Magical Creatures and Transfiguration. They were classes she liked and wanted to be in. She was an animal lover at heart and hated it when her father destroyed their homes and killed them just in case of animigases. The teacher was heard to be part giant and an animal lover himself. The headmaster had hand picked him for the job after the other had been fired. She didn't remember names.
So she sat there, while every one else at the Ravenclaw table ate their meals, at the end of the table plotting ways to lure Harry, get Hermionie and Ron out of the way. Sooner then it seemed lunch was over and it was time for her to go off to Care of Magical Creatures with the giant professor. She wandered down the grounds behind the rest of the Ravenclaw's. This is the one class that she has with the infamous Harry Potter and the rest of the Griffindor's, so this will have to be the class where she can get his attention. She watched attentively as this huge brut came out of the little cabin they had all gathered around.
