A New Year
"Hey Tina," Casey said as she walked into her normal compartment on the Hogwarts Express. She was just another gothic chick. She wore a black tang top with a fishnet shirt over it. She wore a black skirt with knee high combat boots. Her hair was black and fell to the middle of her back with nice layering.
"What's with the new look?" A fellow student said. Casey sat across from her.
"I decided to switch it up a little bit Tina." Casey smiled at the short haired girl. Tina was already in her Ravenclaw uniform. A boy walked into the compartment and sat down next to Tina.
"Hello Ray," Casey said pulling out a book.
"Hello to you Casey. How was your summer?"
"It was very uneventful."
"Wasn't Sonia there?" Casey looked at them.
"Yeah but Blaise was there so I didn't bother her."
"How did you like being on the Malfoy vacation?" Another girl walked into the compartment. She sat down next to Casey.
"The summer house was beautiful Amanda. I wish you could see it."
"So why does it seem like you hate it?"
"The lovely group of Slytherins was there." Amanda laughed at her friend.
"You're a Slytherin to."
"Yeah but I'm not annoying like others." She smiled at her brown hair friend.
"Are you calling me annoying Casey Brooks?"
"No Amanda Jacobs. I'm just calling Pansy Parkinson annoying." Casey went back to her book.
"Who are you calling annoying?" The small group looked up to see Pansy standing in the door frame.
"If you cleaned out your ears maybe you would know." Casey smiled at her.
"Who do you think you're talking to you freak?" Pansy yelled at her.
"Oi Parkinson, don't you dare talk to her like that." Another dark brown haired girl walked into the compartment. She had green eyes with a sunflower effect. She was the same height as Casey was and dressed the same way.
"What are you going to do about it McIntyre?" Pansy turned towards the girl. The new girl rolled her eyes.
"I'm going to sit with Blaise this time okay?" She looked at Casey.
"You're a big girl Sonia. You can do what you want." Casey smiled at her. Sonia smiled back and headed out of the compartment.
"Oh and Parkinson, if you talk to Casey like that again while I'm around, you will regret it." Sonia said before heading down the train. Casey smirked as she watched Pansy storm off after Sonia.
"Way to piss her off before we even get to school Brooks." Casey looked up into the gray eyes of Draco Malfoy. She felt like she was turning red.
"No problem Malfoy. Let me know if she bitches at you." She saw Draco smirk at her. He nodded his head and followed the other Slytherins to a compartment. Casey seemed to let the breath out that she seemed to be holding.
"How was the Malfoy vacation a drag when you got to stare at that all summer?" Amanda asked her. Casey put her head on her friends shoulder.
"Well that part wasn't so bad." She laughed as her friends joined in. The train started to pull out of the station. "And away we go with our final year at Hogwarts!"
*~*
Casey and Amanda sat at the end of the Slytherin table waiting for McGonagall to usher in the new students.
"So what was up with the rock chick look?" Amanda asked.
"I've always been into that style. Why is everyone noticing now?"
"You never have worn a skirt besides the uniform. Now you're caught in one on the train." Casey smiled.
"I'll tell you why if you promise not to assume and judge me."
"I swear."
"Ok well over the summer Sonia talked her uncle and aunt to allowing us to go to a club. Well I wasn't going to go. We were going to meet the Greenhouse sisters and I would have been the only one without a date. Sonia being Sonia talked me to going."
"Is there a point to this story?"
"Well if you let me finish Jones." Amanda smirked at her. "So I started to get ready. I got dressed in my normal clothing and Sonia disapproved. She decided to rip parts of my clothing off and added fishnet and all that to the outfit. I ended up in an outfit just like the one I was wearing today. When we got to the club Sonia dragged me onto the dance floor."
"You hate to dance."
"Yeah I know but that wasn't the purpose of it. The purpose of it was to show me everyone who was staring at me, most notably all the really good looking guys."
"You are doing this for attention from guys?!" Amanda stared at her friend with shock.
"You just promised you wouldn't do that!"
"If I knew that was the reason why you're dressing different I wouldn't have promised."
"Did I say that's why I changed?" Amanda went to say something but ended up shaking her head. "I am not doing this to get attention from guys. I am not Parkinson or any of those whores. When I saw everyone looking at me in a good way instead of the freak way I smiled. It gave me confidence in myself. The girl that everyone calls a freak or a weird gothic chick can be just a pretty."
"It took you that to find out that you're pretty?"
"I hate to say it but yes." Amanda smiled and looked down the table. She then looked back at Casey.
"Did he notice?"
"That's the most exciting part. According to Sonia he wouldn't take his eyes away from me."
"Well I guess that the change is that bad." Casey went to answer her but the Great Hall door opened. McGonagall walked in with a huge group of children who looked like they were scared for their lives.
"Amanda look that one looks like you." Casey pointed to a short girl with frizzy hair.
"Har-Har Brooks. My hair wasn't that bad when I was younger." Casey looked at her. "At least it wasn't as bad as Grangers!" The girls laughed. Amanda looked around. "Look, she looks like you." Casey turned to notice a dark haired girl at the back of the pack. Casey was shocked on how much the child did look like her. She had the intense blue eyes and pale skin just like she did. She followed the little girl all the way up to the front.
"That's weird." Casey turned back towards Amanda.
"I know that girl looks exactly like me. Nice eye." Amanda rolled her eyes.
"I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about how the Slytherin Prince just stared at you for 5 minutes."
"Really?"
"Why would I lie?"
"I don't know why would you break a promise?" Casey smirked at her. Amanda tried hiding in a laugh but couldn't. Casey looked down the table and caught notice of Draco looking at her. At that moment Sonia waved to her. Casey smiled and waved back.
"That was perfect timing don't you think?"
"It's like she can read minds." Casey said. The girls looked back up to the front of the Great Hall to notice that Dumbledore was beginning to talk.
"Thank Merlin it's our last year." Amanda said. Casey turned to her holding her goblet in the air.
"Let's make the most of it." Amanda smirked and did the same.
So technically that's chapter 1. Not much is happening...I just wanted something to start the story out. So if you want review...you don't have to...at least not yet :-)
