Blue Blooded Witch
Chapter One
"Good bye." My mom said as she walked off with my grandmother, frowning in worry. I waved until they were both out of sight, and sighed, scratching my cheek and looking around warily. After the 'incident', my mother and grandmother had explained everything to me. It turns out my father was a Blue Blood, which was a rare blood line of witches who had the ability to summon demons from Hell by using their blood…which was blue. It flowed with this magical ability, thus turning it blue, even when it leaked from skin.
My mother was a human, and my grandmother was a Blue Blood as well. She said there are practically no Blue Bloods left on this earth, and our family was the last existing one. She told me I was still a witch too, so she sent me off to some magical school called Hogwarts. It sounds like a zit cream…but I accepted, intrigued by these newfound powers, and desperate to get away from here. So there I was, utterly lost and confused, holding my suitcase and the small paper in my hands, looking around.
"Argh!" I scowled. I saw someone who obviously worked here, and stopped him politely, smiling at him when he turned to me. I pushed my glasses back up my nose and blushed at his intense, questioning gaze.
"Um, do you know where platform nine and three quarters is?" I asked shyly. He gave me a look, and said there was no platform nine and three quarters, and walked off. I stared after him, gaping. That's impossible! The paper said so. I stared at the paper, frowning in annoyance. I wandered a bit, eager not to miss my train, and ended up seeing a girl with golden blonde hair with her trolley, staring at a wall. I went to ask her if she knew where the platform was, when she jerked forward and ran through the wall. I dropped the paper and my eyes went wide.
"HOOOOE!" I cried in surprise. I stared at the wall, and sighed heavily. I guess I shouldn't be so surprised…she was obviously a witch. Maybe that was it. I walked forward, stared at the wall, and held my breath before charging forward and flying through the wall. I fell in and landed on top of someone, slamming both of us to the ground, my suitcase flying from my hands.
I sat up and scrambled off them, bowing so low my nose practically touched the floor, my face a deep red color.
"S-Sorry!" I stammered, straightened and offering my hand. The boy looked at me, and I blinked in awe. He had such pretty eyes…and nice black hair. He shot me a goofy grin and accepted my hand, heaving up and dusting himself off.
"That's fine." He said politely.
I smiled in thanks and looked over. "Ah! I made it!"
He smiled at me, and picked his bags up; he didn't have much. Less than I did. I thanked him and ran off, sighing when I saw the train about to leave. I managed to get on, and then was faced with another dilemma; finding a place to sit. I peered in, but most were taken. I was bout to give up when I saw one with only two people in it. The girl I saw earlier, and another girl. I walked in, and caught theirt gaze, cauing me to blush.
"May I sit here?"
They smiled and nodded, and I sat next to the blonde. I examined the girls closely, and decided I liked them already. The girl next to me had pretty golden hair to her shoulder blades, and pretty purple eyes, with a cute face and a pretty smile. The girl across from us had short red hair, cropped to her ears and flipping forward, with mud brown eyes, and a graceful-looking body.
Eventually we started a conversation, and I found out the blonde's name was Regina, and she was a fourth year, as was the red-head, named Matilda. We talked, and soon knew a lot of each other, and I learned the basics behind Hogwarts. It took a long time, but eventually we made it to the school, giving me a shock.
It was huge.
But very beautiful, like a king's castle. I followed my two new friends in, and they led me to the great hall. We had to separate so I sat with the first years, even though they were much younger than me, and we listened as the headmaster talked on the stage-like thing. When he was done, a sorting began to take place, and I was surprised when he called out my name first. And it embarrassed me how he did it…
"Sabrina De'Pompour." He called gravely. "Joining us oddly late…"
Or something along those lines. I blushed, and stood, walking onto the stage, ignoring the stares that followed me as I walked. I sat down, and waited patiently as a hat was placed on my head. I jumped when it spoke.
"Hmm…and odd one, this one is." It said. I blinked, and pulled a face, trying not to laugh. A talking hat? That's what sorted students? How funny! What's next, a talking pillow as their teacher? I tried not to laugh as he rambled on, before finally calling out loudly, "Slytherin!"
I blinked, ignoring the polite clapping as I walked off the stage. Regina had told me about Slytherin, yet for some reason it didn't bother me; Regina was in Gryffindor, and Matilda was in Slytherin as well. So at least I had a friend in there.
I waved at Regina, who smiled at me, and I sat next to Matilda, who was sitting next to a blonde mean-looking boy, who was ignoring her, as she was to him. As I sat next to her, she smiled at me.
"Hey, I'm surprised you got into Slytherin, Sabrina." She said jokingly, nudging me. I shrugged, and grinned at her sheepishly. I really didn't know why I was in Slytherin…I wasn't snobby or rude, was I? Well, Matilda wasn't either, but she was in Slytherin too. Weird…but it didn't matter. I turned to her and peered at the blonde curiously.
"Who's mister doom and gloom there?" I asked louder then intended, pointing bluntly at the boy, who turned to glare at me viciously. Whoa…he looked like an angry Pomeranian.
"Draco Malfoy." Matilda said in disgust, shooting Draco a nasty look. "Stop glaring, she's new, fat head."
He scowled at her, the turned away to talk to some fat guys, and I turned to Matilda curiously.
"Okay..."
She laughed. "He thinks hes all that." She said, patting my head. "Ignore him. After this, we can go see Regina and her friends. Harry potter. The Harry potter. Can you believe it? I'm so jealous of her."
I blinked. "Harry who?"
She gave me an 'are-you-kidding-me?' kind of look, and then sighed. "He's famous." She said simply. I shrugged. Whatever. We talked for a bit, Draco cutting in every once in awhile with a snotty remark, at which Matilda would say something witty that made him shut up and turn away. Eventually, a huge feast was presented, and well…I pigged out. Screw my diet; this food was too delicious-looking! After I was full, I waited until Matilda was done, and we both stood and headed towards Regina, who paused and made the three people around her stop, too. A cute red-head, a dude with glasses, and a girl with frizzy brown hair.
"Regina!" Matilda called, running up to her, me following behind lazily. I smiled at her, said hi at which she nodded, and then she slung her arm around the girl.
"This is Hermione. That's Ron, and that…" She said, smiling at the guy with glasses. "Is Harry Potter."
I nodded. "Nice to meet you. Heehee, I used to have a dog named Harry…" I said in a giggly tone. The four, not including Matilda, gave me surprised looks.
"You don't know who Harry Potter is?" Hermione asked. I blinked.
"Well, I do now…but, hes famous or something, right?"
Regina didn't even bother explaining; she simply laughed. "Anyway, we're heading to the library first. Want to come?"
I nodded, and Matilda gave her thumbs-up. We followed them to the huge library, and I was all over the place, grabbing books and reading them, before putting them back. Eventually I ended up with a pile of books next to me as I sat at a table, reading. Eventually the five others bid me goodbye and left, and I stayed there in the confined silence of the library reading, since classes don't start until tomorrow.
I came upon a thick book, different from the others, and curiously opened it up. I gasped and jumped back in my chair when the book moved and flipped open, the pages moving on their own and skimming on until stopping on a page. I sat there, frozen, until slowly leaning forward and reading. It was about Blue Bloods.
I was shocked, really, and read on, finding out how to summon and about the Blue Bloods. When I was done, I put the books away and decided to try to summon something, and wandered around until finding out where the slytherin place, whatever these dues called it, was. I eventually got inside, and went into the main room thing where everyone hung out, and sat on the couch until everyone retreated to bed. Only then did I sit on the floor, positioning myself so I sat on my legs.
I bit my thumb hard until I tasted sweet-tasting blood; not disgusting like usual, but sweet. I blinked and licked my lips, gazing at the blue blood, and warily pushed my bleeding thumb to the floor, my breathing heavy.
"I call upon Hell, under the command of the Blue Blooded, ride from this beckon of blue light and do my bidding!" I said fiercely, eyes narrowed, focusing that burning power into my hand. I jumped slightly when a glowing blue circle-like object glinted round me, an ominous noise rushing in my ears. The ground shuddered and creaked, and something stirred on the floor. A small popping, bubbling noise gurgled from the ground, and something rose.
I gasped, and waited for a huge demon, like in the book, but blinked when a small fairy-like thing popped out. She had a human body, with blue skin and black fur around her chest and waist, and claws for hands, and wolf feet, with long bat wings protruding from her back. She had black hair flowing past her ankles, moving like mist in the air. She bowed, golden eyes shining, smoldering as she raised her head and spoke in a screechy voice, fangs visible in her small mouth.
"I am Ni'ah, Demon from Hell, of the Bat Tribe. I come here hearing your call, all mighty Blue Blood, and have come to do your bidding."
I stared at her, then blurted out, "Huh!?"
She stared at me and giggled daintily, floating in front of me, the blue circle gone, a small speck of blue blood on the ground.
"You are not yet powerful enough to call upon anything so powerful, my dear Blue Blood. But soon, if you train enough, you shall."
I watched her, and then sighed. "Thank you, oh dear Ni'ah, Demon of the Bat Tribe, you have done your work, and now I return you to whence you came." I recited, pressing my thumb to her small forehead. She pushed back and burst into black fire, before she was gone, the blue circle flickering before I was gone completely, even the speck of blood sunk into the floor, and was gone.
Leaving me in silence.
