chapter one, THE LOCH NESS MONSTER

✧ ━━━ · ✦ · ━━━ ✧





WHEN BIANCA WOKE UP ON SEPTEMBER first 1992, starting her sixth year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, she had mixed feelings. Yes, she would be going back to school and starting lessons again, and sure, she would see Leo again (despite seeing him not that long ago) but she'd also be returning to the place that was full of sexist douchebags and Adrian Pucey. That was enough to not want to go.

So after procrastinating for just over twenty minutes whilst lying in her exceedingly comfortable bed and making herself look as presentable as possible (even though it wasn't exactly hard), she left her already empty house.

Her parents were workaholics. She saw them from time to time when she decided to come home for the holidays, but they would be in and out of the house, most of the time spent at work, and to Bianca, it came across that their work was more important to them than their own daughter. They told her that was not true, but the little time they spent as a family and the countless birthdays she spent alone with no one but the family's butler, Andrew (a muggle) and a single birthday card, piled high with money to make up for not being there, she thought otherwise.

Platform nine and three quarters was actually one of Bianca's favourite places. And although first years, returning students and parents were all shoulder to shoulder, in each other's faces, no personal space, no exceptions, she enjoyed how alive the place was. She liked the idea that a whole world was hidden behind a wall on an ordinary London train station's platform; that muggles (bar a few exceptions) were completely unbeknown to such a wonderful place.

She abandoned her pet owl, Marty (after Marty McFly, of course, who was technically useless to her due to not being able to send letters to her parents that had yet to learn the art of using a bird as a postman. She begged her parents for him nonetheless and considered him a best friend) and her load of luggage and boarded the train.

She began searching what seemed like an endless road of compartments, all of which were not the one she was looking for. But, luckily for her, one did have the exact people she wanted to see, first thing after arriving at the station.

She had hoped she wouldn't run into Adrian Pucey this early on, and yet the universe had different ideas.

As she peered into the, what seemed like the fiftieth compartment on her right, she was met by an oh-too-familiar set of steel-blue eyes, that widened slightly as he noticed her, staring in her direction, "Larsson! How lovely to see you so soon into the new year. Nice summer?" he faked a smile, and yet there was an annoying hint of genuineness.
