Chapter 1
Returning to Hogwart
Today is the day. The day to have the recognition she deserves, and to be praised by her peers and professors.
Halle deepest desire from the age of eleven was to be a prefect in Hogwart's School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Her favorite bed story was Hogwart a history. She couldn't sleep without hearing her mother voice reading a passage from the book. Leon always teased her about that. Well, he didn't care for books at all; his favorite past time was quidditch after all. Father always prided himself about that.
She pouted at her reflection in the mirror. "I took after mother I suppose", she thought to her self. Hermione Malfoy was famous for her love of knowledge and learning. She was the one that read Hogwart a history to her at the age of six.
So when she was assigned as a prefect this year, it was no surprise how happy she was about it.
A bang at her door woke her from her daydreaming. ''Yes", she said. "Come on Halle, father is waiting down stairs, so stop stalling or we will miss the train", Leon shouted at her through the door.
They reached the train station in their luxurious carriage in no time; her father let her get through the barrier at Platform 9 3/4 first. Here it is the beloved Hogwart express. She looked around her to see if she can find any of her friends, only to find him looking at her. 'Him' is of course the one and only Daren weasley. He was looking at her as if she was a bug who needs to be exterminated. When his eyes met hers, she could hear her heart tick tocking. What is it about him that made her react this way? She was Halle the sensible down to earth girl. But when he is around she turned into a silly school girl with a crush who couldn't even say a complete sentence in front of him.
But he hates me. She told her self. He never liked me. Well, like is an understatement. He loathes me. From the first year I entered Hogwart when he knew that my name was Malfoy he hated me. For four years he treated me as an enemy despite that I were with him in Gryffindor. He always teases me about how I am a book worm who doesn't have friends and the only Malfoy in Gryffindor. Well, my mother was in Gryffindor so it isn't a weird thing I entered Gryffindor.
Halle moves her eyes from him when she hears a feminine voice calling her. A tall blonde girl with blue eyes and beautiful body was waving at her. Susan wood always looks like a goddess. She was in Ravenclaw but she is Halle only friend. Halle waved back. Then, they hugged each other. "You look amazing Susan did you get taller" Halle was eyeing her shapely figure. Susan's laugh was like music when she replayed "Well, yes. did you notice?" she said smiling. "I would be blind if I didn't" Halle replied.
"You look amazing too, Halle", she said kindly. She looks at my short and small body as if she means it. I always knew I am not attractive like Susan is. With a light brown curly hair and ordinary brown eyes, there is nothing to be amazed with. I am short with a large chest that annoys me and feels awkward. My skin is so white that you could mistake me as a vampire. My only feature that I love about my self is my lips. They are small, red and full. I love my intelligence also of course.
It never bothered me that Susan was more beautiful than me, but when I see Daren looking at her with admiration I feel as some one is squeezing my little heart.
A hand in my shoulder startles me from my painful thoughts. I look behind me and there is mother looking at me with a sweet smile that is contagious. My mother is a beautiful woman, and father always looks at her as if he is amazed how this wonderful creature could be his. The look in his eyes when he looks at her! I wish I could have some one who would look at me like that.
"Is every thing in order Halle?". "Yes, mother", I replied. She smiles and kisses me on my forehead and says "I am sure this year will be a wonderful year for you being a prefect. Did you chick that your dress robe for the Yale ball is in your bags?" I shake my head then the train whistles announcing that it is time to depart. Father and mother kisses me goodbye. Of course, Leon acts as a man and shakes father hand. But mom kisses him despite his protest.
Looking through the window I wave goodbye to my parents hoping this year will be a good year.
