Author's Notes:Miyako-This is my account so I guess I have to apologize for being late in other words Casson won't let me out of this chair until I do so here we go. Sorry for being late blah blah it's all because Casson kidnaped the notebook. Indy-What she means to say is that please don't stop reading just because this is late we really love all of our loyal readers. Miyako-So say you. Indy- Better to just ignore her.
Chapter 4:
(Miyako's Pov)
Yes, I had seen Casson at breakfast. Yes, I had also seen her in class. It was just...well, I had always been alone. I wasn't sure how to act if someone actually wanted to be friends with me and it wasn't during duress. Damn! I was so pathetic. I cursed at myself (swearing I didn't cast a spell on myself, bakas). My next class was History of Magic with the ghost teacher Binns. It was good that I didn't have to pay attention because I had a lot to think about. Not that I would have paid attention anyway.
I wanted to be Casson's friend, but I was also afraid to trust her or anyone for that matter. I had been betrayed by my mother when I was born and now if I happened to have someone befriend me I ended up betraying them whether I wanted to or not. So for everyone's good I had stayed alone. If I became friends with Casson I would undoubtly hurt her. It would be better for both of us if I could just keep my distance. I pulled my robes closer around my body.
"I hope your not going to be sick from the infections in your dirty blood," said Ryan, the boy I had pushed out of his seat last night at dinner. I kicked the chair out from under him leisurely. I was beginning to think this might turn into a tradition. After that class was over the first year Slytherins went to Transfiguration. Smith explained our sylabus. I was bored and still had a lot on my mind. Finally lunch was here. Great (sarcasm)!I sat in the far corner of the Slytherin Table with my back to the wall. Then Casson waved with her usual smile. I walked out to the courtyard to finish my lunch. I wished for a friend all while knowing that solitude would be all I would ever know.
(Indigo's Pov)
After lunch Lucy and I went to charms and then Herbology. There was nothing to report there. I took notes and and answered questions. Next Lucy and I had Defense Against the Dark Arts (DADA). In my class were none other than the Slytherins. I had gone all day being Miss Perfect and minding my manners now I guess I wouldn't have to. Not like anyone in Slytherin would ever have a civil conversation with me other than Miyako...maybe. We arrived to class and Professor Malfoy was assigning seats. He put me beside Miyako and some other tall Slytherin boy.
"Hey Miyako, we're sitting together! Isn't this great?"I said with a smile. I heard the boy next to me snort so I turned to him. "Hi my name's Indigo. What's yours?" In return he ignored me and turned away. Miyako looked like she was debating something with herself as the Professor started to speak. I paid attention and kept my hand in the air to answer questions. He picked on me, "Yes, Miss Granger." I politely corrected him, "It's Casson, sir. And the answer to your question is Yes." Professor Malfoy accepted my answer. Shortly after the class ended.
"Bye Miyako," I called after her. She nodded slightly. Another Ravenclaw first year, Tammi, asked in a snobby tone, "Is that Slytherin your friend?" Lucy was making her way to me and Miyako was heading down the hall fast enough to show she had heard Tammi. I answered quickly so she would hear. "What? Of course we are silly."
