Chapter One: Arella POV

"I'm writing this, as a memory of my last year of schooling.

I sit her in my compartment; I've always sat here, ever since my first year at the school of Witchcraft and Wizardry. That sounds real fancy. I just laughed. I normally sit with Ginny, the youngest Weasley. My best friend, I love her brother Fred. NOT LITERALLY! He just makes me laugh.

I fought in the battle. It was quite fun….

I don't think I should think that. I fancy dueling….it helps with my anger, not for the other person of course.

I think I feel sorry for what I did too Malfoy…

Yes, Draco Malfoy.

But I can't take it back…

Why do I feel bad, it wasn't like i did it purposely..he got in my way.

I must go for now, Ginny has finally gotten on the train.

Ta-ta!"

I was sitting upside down, my heels on the wall, my hair hitting the floor. Ginny walked in I closed my journal and sat it down beside me. Turning so I was sitting up straight. "Ginny!" I smiled

"Hi Rella." She smiled at me and sat down in front of me. Her brother poked his head in and smiled "Rellie!" I smiled and stood up. "Freddie!" I ran and hugged him. He smiled and wrapped his arms around me, almost lifting me up off the ground. I stepped back and looked at him, he smiled and kissed Ginny on top of the head "I havtta get off the blasted train" I laughed and hugged him again along with Ginny. He turned and walked off the train. Ginny smiled as we both sat down. We stared at each other in silence. I laughed trying to break the silence "how you been, Ginny?" She smiled and nodded "Great! Yours?" I shrugged "as good as it can be living with the Parkinson's." She shook her head.

The candy cart came by, I bought me a Ginny some crystallized pineapple. My favorite, only her and Fred know that, no one really cares to ask. They sort of over look me. Ginny smiled "Thanks Rella, but you shouldn't have-" I shook my head "Your like my sister, do not worry about it!" She smiled "Thanks Rella."

Ginny sat staring out the window not really talking. I was sharpening my wand. Out of nowhere she turned and looked at me. "WE'RE HERE!" She was way more excited than me. I smiled anyway and stood up "We are aren't we." She laughed and stuck out her arm "shall we?" I laughed tilting my head back "We shall!" We came up on the castle, arms interlocked, walking in perfect unison.

We parted as we go to the Great Hall, for were in separate houses. Ginny walked to the Griffyndor table, immediately greeted by all of her friends. I sat down at the Slytherin table, not greeted. I sat next to Blaise Zambini. "Parkinson?" I glared at him "I AM NOT-" I calmed myself down "I am not a Parkinson. My name is Arella!" he looked at me "Sorry, Par- Arella." I shrugged him off.

I sat listening to the first years being sorted. A Slytherin, I didn't yell everyone else? They did. Finally it was over, I walked to the Great Hall doors and waited for Ginny. She ran up to me "Rella?" I smiled "Gin." We walked out of the Great Hall, down the hall, toward the stairs. "Bye, see you tomorrow." She smiled "Meet you at the doors." I nodded and turned on my heel and walked to the dungeons, to my common room.

I ran my hand across the black leather couch and then across the wall as I walked up the stairs. I pushed the door open, of my shared dormitory. I looked around and seen my trunk, I walked over to my bed and fell back onto it. My year was not starting out well, I rolled over and picked up my journal.

"Well, my year is not turning out as well as I planned. But I guess it'll get better, perhaps."

I sat my journal on my bed side table, stood up and waved my wand around me. I laid back down sliding under the covers. I tossed and turned about all night. I couldn't sleep, it was too hot. I pulled off my top shirt and through it on the floor, my tank top was green; Slytherin green of course. I closed my eyes, finally falling asleep.

A/N: Sorryyyy, that was real short. Next one well be a lot longer! Promise! Review! I wanna know what you think! (:
