Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter, just the plot and a few characters.
Last time:
I lie down in my bed and curl up under my covers, relishing in their warmth. I close my eyes and smile at how good things are despite what Harry and Ron have done. Soon I can't keep myself awake and I let my body succumb to sleep. Draco's face the last image I see before the darkness takes me under.
This time:
Surprisingly when I wake up the sun isn't on my face, it isn't shinning at all. But I think what woke me was the rain drops hitting my windows. I sit up reluctantly, not wanting to leave my warm blankets. It's just one of those days, the gloomy atmosphere outside makes you not want to do anything all day. Sometimes it feels like you should just stay in bed and sleep the day away.
Before too long someone is knocking on my door. I groan and reluctantly stand up to open the door. Both of my brothers are standing there, fully dressed.
"Come on Mya, get dressed and ready to go. Dad is taking us to Diagon Alley to get us everything we need for school."
"Derick, is there any reason why we are going now, when it's raining, and so early in the day?"
"Dad has to go to the school later so we have to go early."
"If it makes things easier Mya, Draco said that he would meet us there."
In less than an hour I was ready to go. I don't know why but whenever I know Draco is going to be around, I can't help but hurry to get near him. The friendship I have with him is nothing like anything I have ever had before. My friendship with Harry and Ron was complicated. For me that friendship was cold, and left me feeling alone and isolated all of the time. There were so many times when I would be left out of things they did just because I was the responsible boring one that would try to put a stop to it if it was against the rules.
After everyone meeting up in the foyer the four of us apparated to Diagon Alley. Once again when my feet returned to solid ground I felt sick to my stomach and if my father hadn't been holding onto me I would have fallen on my ass. Without even looking I know that my brothers are trying not to laugh at me, they think that it is hilarious that I can't handle any type of wizard travel without getting sick. One of these days I am going to find something to tease them about, just so I can get them to stop teasing me about this. I have only known them for a few days and we are as close as we would be if we hadn't been separated for nearly 16 years. Even though they tease me, I know that they really do love me and just do it because they have missed out on doing it for the past 16 years.
When I don't feel nauseous anymore I look around to see if I could find Draco. Despite how early it was there were a lot of people already here and being as short as I am I couldn't see over them. One of the bad things about my physical change into who I really am is that I went from five foot ten inches to just over five foot two inches. I lost eight inches off of my height. I was generally the same height as most people my age, maybe an inch or so shorter but now everyone towers over me. My brothers and father included. I must have gotten my height from my mother. I really need to sit down with Daddy and find out more about her. I know practically nothing.
Since I couldn't find Draco I figure that he can come find us when he gets here. I start walking over to the bookstore to gather up the books I need for my last year at school. I still can't believe that this is my last year, or that I'm Head Girl, something I have been working for every year at Hogwarts.
I hear the door of the store open when I am looking through the shelves for what I need, plus a few extra despite the dozen I got the other day. Out of nowhere a pair of arms wind around me.
I know it is a lot shorter than the other chapters but I wanted to post something before I went to bed. I don't know when I will be able to post the next chapter. I have to work the next few days so I will do my best.
