Chapter three: Castor's POV
Then the door burst open and Harry Potter and Ron Weasly appeared being carried on different peoples shoulders, Hermione released me to go and lecture the pair.
"Now's our chance!" Fabain grinned at Colin and I.
"Chance for what?" Colin replied confused.
"To meet the famous Harry Potter dummy!" Fabian grinned grabbing Colin and I by the hands and pulling us over there.
Colin squealed with excitement.
"Hey Ron!" The red head whirled round grinning at his cousin as he said his hello's to Fabian, Harry looking sheepishly at all three of us as Hermione continued her little lecture, neither of the boys paying much attention.
"Just flew to school in dad's car, bloody brilliant!" Ron laughed, unable to contain his excitement as Hermione gasped and began a whole new rant.
"Sounds cool, this is Colin Creevey and Castor Black," Fabian grinned, pushing me forward as I gazed in marvel at Harry Potter.
"It's an honour to meet you Harry!" Colin yelled with excitement, grabbing his camera but Ron's voice stopped him.
"Wait... Black? He must be in the wrong house!" Ron yelled in indignation as I burned red.
"What's the problem?" Harry asked confused.
"Blacks are evil! Draco's mums a bleeding Black! The whole lot of them are stuck up pigs just like Draco!" Ron growled at me looking at me in disgust.
"No! Don't be so prejudice Ronald! Castor is lovely, nothing like Draco!" Hermione scowled, furious at her friend.
Ron just huffed, I thanked merlin that no one had told him about my parents.
"Well nice to meet you, I'm Harry Potter," Harry grinned, sticking out a hand.
"I know who you are," I grinned, Harry laughed, I expected he'd got that reaction countless times. He smiled at Colin who could barely contain himself as he took photo after photo of Harry under the premise of sending them back to his dad.
Then I turned round and was met with the eyes of a boy I hoped to escape: Neville Longbottom.
"Neville?" Ron asked unsure, from what I knew of Neville he was a kind, well mannered lovely young lad, the way he looked at me was totally out of character.
"He... he... he...," Neville was overcome with anger and rage, I didn't blame him, I would feel the same if the roles were reversed.
"Neville, come on... calm down," Hermione tried.
Neville drew his wand, fury in his eyes.
"Your parents tortured mine! It's their fault mine can't even function!" Neville screamed, a tear in his eye.
"I know what my folks did Neville but I promise I'm nothing like them... what they did disgusts me. I am so sorry, my parents are the scum of the earth, I am so sorry for what they did to you Neville," I told him honestly.
"But... but," Neville sighed, "I'm sorry... I can't take out my anger over your parents on you."
That sounded a more Longbottom thing to do than this display of rage.
"It's okay, I'd want to hurt me too if I was you," I smiled sympathetically.
"WAIT... so... your... Bellatrix and Rodolphus Lestrange's kid?" Ron scowled, amazement forming in his eyes.
"Yes," I whimpered, not wanting more judgement to be passed on me because of my blood.
"You're a dark wizard!" Ron growled in anger, reaching for his wand.
"RONALD WEASLY PUT THAT WAND AWAY BEFORE I DEDUCT POINTS FROM GRYFFINDOR!" Percy Weasly yelled at his younger brother, electing a shared groan throughout the common room.
Soon after it was time for bed and I sighed, lying awake.
"Hey," I looked to my right, Fabian smiled warmly at me, "you're so brave Castor."
"Yeah, a real Gryffindor!" Colin added from my left smiling at me from his bed sheets.
"Thanks guys, I wonder how Luna's getting on," I smiled thinking of my friend.
"Good probably, she seems pretty sturdy," Fabian replied.
"Yeah, the way Malfoy and his friends were treating her would have broken most people but she was strong and frankly didn't seem to give a damn," Colin nodded, "I'm sure she's fine."
"Yeah you're right," I nodded to them both. "Night."
"Night," they replied going back to bed.
Colin and I were ready quickly, he offered me some chocolate and thankfully I agreed.
"Now, we have to wake up sleepy head over there," Colin laughed, munching on some chocolate.
"Easy," I laughed thinking of the countless times when I'd had to wake my cousin up.
I kicked him out of bed, he groaned and hit me over the head in response.
"Get dressed!" I laughed at him as moaning he pulled himself up.
"See you guys downstairs in five!" Fabian yelled after Colin and I as we raced down the stairs.
We looked excitedly at the Ravenclaw table for Luna. She seemed to spot us first, rushing up from her place with a grin, "Colin! Castor!"
The three of us hugged as she looked around for Fabian.
"He's still getting dressed," Colin hinted with a smile.
"Yeah, lazy sod couldn't get out of bed," I replied, Colin erupting in laughs at the memory of my method of waking Fabian up.
"Who we calling a lazy sod, star boy?" Fabian winked, Colin and Luna giggling at his nickname.
"Nice one," I smiled.
"It seems Nargals have stolen your hair comb Fabian," Luna spoke dreamily, her eyes glossy.
"Na-what?" Colin asked confused.
"Nargals aren't real," Fabian replied.
Luna shook her head, "they are Fabian, you just have to know where to look." She skipped off to her table, as we all headed to the Gryffindor table.
Tom Benson, one of the people who I saw getting sorted last night was a few places forward to us, he shared our dorm.
"This is brilliant! All this wizard stuff isn't it?" Tom grinned, Colin agreed.
"I know, my dad nearly fainted when we got the letter, couldn't believe all this magic stuff was real, my dad thought it was just junk mail but... the letters kept coming! Amazing!" Colin smiled happily.
"Post!" Tom cried.
"Maybe I'll get a letter from my dad," Colin smiled at me.
"Maybe I'll get a letter from my girlfriend," Fabian winked.
"Come off it, like you have a girlfriend," Colin rolled his eyes.
"I do!" Fabian scowled.
"Yeah? Show us a picture then hotshot," Colin grinned at me as we waited for Fabian to give in, he did with a huff. A big parcel fell in front of Colin.
"What's that?" I asked him, he shrugged, his shaggy hair falling in front of his eyes.
"Oh, it's my wizard history books and rune books I got over the summer for some background knowledge," he smiled with glee.
"Merlin! Looks like you've nicked half the school library there mate," Fabian laughed.
"Looks like we won't need Luna to help us with our homework," I laughed as Colin smiled.
"Oh and my comic books!" He grinned excitedly, pulling out a batman one.
"Batman?" I asked confused.
Tom piped up, "You've never heard of Batman?"
"No what is it?"
"A muggle superhero, the comics are great, I'll lend some to you Castor, I'm sure you'll enjoy it, maybe then you can help me study," he smiled.
"I'll pass on the studying but thanks," I laughed back, Colin and Fabian laughing with me.
A red letter and another letter which I guessed was from Aunty Andromeda, Uncle Ted and Tonks.
I peered at the red letter curiously.
Fabian, Ron and a few others let out a gasp.
"What?"
"That's a howler... I had one before you two came in... bloody horrible thing," Ron whispered nervously.
"It really was," Harry said as though he wished he could forget the whole ordeal.
"So, I shouldn't open it?" I hoped that there would be an easy solution like that.
"You have to... it'll be much worse if you don't," Neville nodded, I smiled at him, happy that both him and Ron seemed to have accepted me.
"Be careful," Fabian looked pale.
"I don't know what that is but it can't be good," Colin whispered.
I opened it nervously, wondering what could be so bad about a simple letter.
Then it happened.
A woman's voice, high and screeching, "CASTOR LESTRANGE! HOW DARE YOU DISGRACE YOUR FAMILY HONOUR BY BEING SORTED INTO THE GRYFFINDOR HOUSE! WITH ALL THE MUDBLOODS AND BLOOD TRAITORS! YOU'RE COUSIN DRACO AND HIS MOTHER AND FATHER INFORMED ME OF YOUR HORRIBLE PLACEMENT! YOU'LL HAVE TO MIX WITH FILTH, YOU A PUREBLOOD REIGNING FROM THE MOST NOBLE HOUSES OF BLACK AND LESTRANGE...

REGULUS WAS A LOYAL DEATH EATER AT LEAST UNTIL HIS STUPID BROTHER CORUPTED HIM AND TURNED HIM AGAIST MY LORD! I WILL NOT LET YOU FOLLOW THAT PATH! YOU WILL BE FAITHFUL! YOU WILL BE A PUREBLOOD!"
The letter burst into flames as I gawped, looking around the room everyone else did, only Malfoy and a few of his friends snickered.
I burned red.
