I wake up to my alarm, for once, and change into my robes, ignoring my now messy hair that I had kept in a bun for the last forty eight hours and had looked okay. I couldn't ignore it any longer but then Serena stirred and climbed out of bed.
''Hey Serena.'' I say. She rubs her eyes and snaps awake.
''Hey! I never noticed how amazing your hair is! Let me do it nice for you today!''
''Thanks! If you really want to, do you want me to do your hair?''
''Okay.'' She nods and she changes into her robes. She has a very slim figure and wears her skirt high- like me- at the waist. She approaches me armed with a hairbrush- ready to tame my hair. She laughs and drops the hairbrush on my bed and takes several hair pins out of my hair. ''Sorry, If I hurt you.'' She laughs, as my hair sticks in the bun position. I smirk and she takes the hairbands out and my hair puffs out really bad.
''S-S-Sorry! I- I've never ever seen such crazy hair!'' She laughs combing it down as it springs back out in a different position.
''It's okay. My hair is strange. I think I put too much hairspray in.'' I add and she chuckles.
''A bit? This is mad.'' She says. I look in the mirror and turn, she plaits one half of my head and then it goes into a normal ponytail. She pins the plait to stop any stray strands sneaking out and then she hairsprays it. She brushes my side fringe and sprays it again. Her hands are quick. She applies some mascara to my eyes and smudges some blue eye shadow onto my eye lids.
''You looks awesome.''
''Thanks.'' I laugh and comb her hair into a loose bun, I leave a couple of strands out and they bounce into soft slack ringlets. I pin her bun a little more and hairspray it. She does her own makeup- she wears thick black mascara and a little black eyeliner. She looks really quite awesome. I see a light blue small fake flower on my bedside cabinet and I slide it into her hair and we grab our bags- mine is a large blue shoulder bag with black flowers sewn onto the leather quilted style outside. It was lined and had numerous different compartments.
I walked into the common room with Serena and we saw a pile of time tables. I grabbed the one with my name on it and read it.
Monday: History of magic Professor Binns- with the Gryffindor's.
Care of magical creatures- Professor Kettleburn- with the Hufflepuff's.
I couldn't be bothered to read anymore. I swaggered into the great hall with a wide smirk on my face- today I know I look good. I saw every second year boys heads turn. Malfoy smirks at me and winks cheekily. I roll my eyes.
''Every boys looking at you- even my third cousin!'' Serena giggles.
''Oh great.'' I mutter sarcastically and face palm as I sit down to tuck into breakfast. Hermione spots me.
''Hey! Kat!'' Ashe shouts across the hall with a wide grin on her face and she hurries over. I turn to face her, my bag on my shoulder.
''Hey Herm.'' I say, smiling. My other best friend! Serena huffs disapprovingly.
''Who's this?'' Hermione questions looking- if I must say it- a little jealous.
''Oh this is my new best friend Serena- you're still my best friend too!'' I add. She laughs and introduces herself to Serena, I take it Serena doesn't like Hermione's know it all attitude- Ravenclaw's just don't.
''Bye.'' Serena mutters, looking irritated. Hermione skips away.
''You put up a good act- once you get to know her she's really fun.'' I laugh; Serena face palms and we pick up our bags for our lesson. Padma has gone over with Lavender and Paraviti- like Shannon.
Malfoy walks over to us whilst we gracefully walk out the hall with our noses held up in the air with great posture for a joke. We burst into giggles as we get out.
''Hello, Winter, Cyrus.'' He sneers.
''What do you want Malfoy.'' I sneer back, he looks at me like I'm dirt and rounds on Serena. He's loads taller than both of us- by about a half a foot to a whole foot. All it achieves is him being more intimidating to those not knowing how to deal with him.
''Why are you at this school?'' He snaps at Serena. Blaise Zabini is switching his gaze between me and Serena, looking at us dreamily. I click in his face.
''Heeelloo? Earth to Blaise anyone?'' I snigger, he looks at me weirdly and then says hi.
''Answer my question.'' Malfoy suggests. I look at him like he's a ferret and then burst into laughter. ''Why are you laughing at me?''
''I was comparing you to a ferret and the resemblance is striking.'' I laugh. Serena laughs with me.
''As a matter of fact ferret face, mum and dad decided to send me here when they looked around Beauxbatons- they thought it was for veela's and tarts who judged you for who you are by how low you wear your skirt.''
''Good for you.'' Malfoy sneers, a pink tinge spreads across his cheeks and I smirk. Me and Serena prance off to our first lesson with the Gryffindor's.
What happens in history of magic-
I viciously grab the nearest piece of parchment I could find and scribble down- Where were you guy's last night?!
They reply. We can't read your writing it's too posh- it reminds me of Malfoy's handwriting.
The note was from Ron. I reply.
Thank you for that charming comment!;) I shall ask you again- WHERE WERE U LAST NIGHT?
I throw it across the room at them in cold fury. They liked annoying me- they thought it was funny because I got annoyed easily.
We drove the flying car accidently into the whomping willow.
I gasp and everyone looks at me- I wasn't listening.
''What's the matter Miss uh-''
''Cyrus, sir, I was gasping at the brutal way in which the goblins fought?'' I almost questioned. He looked satisfied and carried droning on. Somehow we were doing Goblin wars so my brain must have kept tabs. I was automatically taking notes as well. I had charmed my pen to do it for me- in my handwriting. I point to the note and Ron and Harry nod; I smirk.
THIS EVENING:
I'm singing catch me by Demi Lovato, with my IPod, in an abandoned corridor with Serena.
''Awesome singing girls.'' Fred and George grin, stepping out of the wall. I scream and fall backwards down many stairs and landing at the bottom in a sitting position. I briefly chuckle and yelp in pain as I get to stand up. I think I might have broken my arm.
''Are you okay?!'' Lee Jordan appears out of nowhere and helps me up. Fred, George and Serena come hurrying downstairs. Fred's making a joke and Serena's giggling. I get the hint she may fancy him.
''Yeah, okay apart from my arm.'' I smile, wincing in pain as I click it out of an awkward position. Lee puts and arm around me and stops me from falling over again.
''Brakium de imendi callio.'' George mutters and a wave of heat overcomes my arm and suddenly it moves again- like a normal arm. I squeal and hug him. Serena giggles as Fred twirls a strand of her hair around one of his fingers. I laugh.
''Thanks George. How are you guys here?'' I ask. George takes us back into that narrow corridor and smirks and me cheekily. I bush as he pulls out a bare piece of parchment.
''Its fine- this is the-''
''Secret to our-'' Fred smirks after George.
''Amazing success!'' Lee Jordon finishes. I and Serena look at it with a small look of being perplexed on our faces.
''I solemnly swear I am up to no good.'' Fred, George and Lee all say in sync. I watch entranced as patterns of ink spread across the page- ink that turns into fancy calligraphy saying Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot and Prongs.
''We owe them so much.'' Fred mutters, George nodding along. They open up the maranders map- according to the front, and a map true to its word is revealed.
A map showing all the people I like and hate are revealed in different places.
''Is that really Harry in his room talking to Ron and Hermione?'' I laugh.
''Yep. They talk a lot.'' George nods. I giggle- how I don't know? Malfoy's in his room talking to Blaise, Crabbe and Goyole. Hermione comes racing down the corridor with her phone.
''I've worked out how to work it! I've recorded the howler!''
''What?!'' I laugh. She presses play. I can hear the hisses of smoke that must have streamed through the edges of the envelope. I heard faint murmering.
''STEALING THE CAR, I WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN SURPRISED IF THEY'D EXPELLED YOU! YOU WAIT 'TILL I GET A HOLD OF YOU! I DON'T SUPPOSE YOU STOPPED TO THINK WHAT YOUR FATHER AND ME HAD THOUGHT WHEN WE SAW IT WAS GONE!'' Mrs Weasley's yells boomed out the phone and I burst into laughter, as did Fred, George and Serena.
''The got what they deserved.'' Hermione stated, looking at all of us disapprovingly.
'' WE RECEIVED A LETTER FROM DUMBLEDORE LAST NIGHT AND I THOUGHT YOUR FATHER WOULD DIE OF SHAME. WE DIDN'T BRING YOU UP TO BEHAVE LIKE THIS, YOU AND HARRY BOTH COULD'VE DIED! WE'RE BOTH ABSOLUTLEY DISGUSTED, YOUR FATHERS FACING AN INQUIREY AT WORK. IT'S ENTIRELY YOUR FAULT AND IF YOU PUT ANOTHER TOE OUT OF LINE WE'LL BRING YOU STRAIGHT BACK HOME! Oh yes, Ginny- congratulations on getting into Gryffindor- your father and I are both very proud..'' I heard a whispering. ''To be honest- Kathy- Auntie Muriel thinks she's not a part of the family. I don't really mind her- I rather like her, but your father hates her. Don't know why- he thinks she should've been in Slytherin. I'm disappointed she got into Ravenclaw- but she's amazing.''
