Hey, if you are reading this please read and reivew!
I don't own Harry Potter sadly.
Please review, thanks :)
"Now we are expecting better grades this year Maria, or else." My father said threateningly before turning around and walking away.
"We will see you at Christmas." My mother said before she too turned around and walked through the crowd and out of sight.
Across from me I saw a crowd of people with orange hair and freckles all hugging and saying their goodbyes. The Weasley's, my parents only ever spoke of them when they were talking about blood traitors. They didn't look so bad to me, but I wouldn't dare say that aloud. The Weasleys all piled onto the train shouting bye to their mother and father.
"I love you, have a good year!" Mrs Weasley shouted back.
I frowned slightly, my parents never told me they loved me... probably because they didn't.
Suddenly I felt a hand touch my shoulder, it was my cousin Draco.
"Hey Maria!"
"Hello Draco, hello Aunt Narcissa, hello Uncle Lucius." I said politely.
"Hello dear, where is your mother?" Aunt Narcissa asked.
"She just left."
"Oh, never mind then."
"You had both better be getting on the train." Uncle Lucius said smiling down at me.
I hated how people always smiled down at me, everyone was taller than me. At 5ft I was one of the smallest in my year, and definitely the smallest in my family. It meant I had to make sure I stood up for myself more. I smiled back at my uncle, he was a strange man. He has long white blonde hair and he walked with a cane, even though he could walk perfectly fine without it. He was also a death eater like most people in my family. My aunt was a nice lady. She too had white blonde hair that she tied up in a bun. She cared about Draco more than anything in the world.
"Maria, get your head out of the clouds, we need to find seats!" Draco said pushing me towards the train. I shook out of his grasp. "I'm going, I'm going!"
We soon found our cabin. Pansy, Crabbe and Goyle were already sitting there.
"Maria!" Pansy cried. I smiled. She thought we were best friends. I couldn't stand her. She wasn't nice to anyone, apart from me because she didn't want me to ever fall out with her and Draco because she was obsessed with him, she was also selfish and a bitch.
"Hello." I quickly answered her questions about my summer. I told her about the parties, balls and other social events I had been forced to go to. I didn't mention the family arguments that usually ended with me getting a slap, or worse. I didn't mention how I was given endless lists of chores even though we had a house elf. I definitely didn't mention the fact that my father was spening more and more time out of the house plotting and planning with the dark lord and his fellow death eaters. I told her the good things, the things that made her jealous and convinced her, and everyone else, that my life was perfect.
Draco threw a chocolate frog at me, interrupting me from my thought.
"Maria are you going with Pansy to change into your robes?" He asked.
I nodded and followed Pansy into the toilets. I quickly changed into my robes and laced up my boots. I stepped out of the toilets and looked in the mirror. I ran my fingers through my long dark brown elbow length curly hair and moved it out of my face. I quickly put on some light foundation, mascara and some red lipstick. My black eyes and red lips stood out from my pale white face, but not in a bad way. I glared at my reflection before making my way back to the cabin.
As we quickly turned a sharp corner I saw Hogwarts. I silently wished for a better year, a good year.
