The Sun To My Solar

First Night Back

Walking into the dinning hall for a first year's sorting ceremony and the introduction for the Beauxbatons Academy of Magic and the Durmstrang Institute for the Triwizard's tournament, I couldn't help but to feel nostalgic. It seemed like yesterday when the sorting hat placed me in Hufflepuff. I was so happy but anxious because I was scared my friends wouldn't be sorted with me. I was always good at making friends, but Elis and Isabella were my girls, my sisters, and I wanted to live with them so bad.

Isabella, Elis and I were looking around to see if we spotted any of our other friends. When I saw Clover and Jasmine, I ran to them and jumped on them, wrapping them in a hug. Clover is a pale redhead with big, green eyes that are bright like clovers which I'm pretty sure is where she got her name. She has light freckles on the bridge of her nose just like me. She has small lips and rosy cheeks, she is from wales. Jasmine has straight long dark black hair that goes down past her shoulders, she is also from wales and she is Asian. Jasmin has full lips and an even skin tone, her skin is crazy clear like I've never seen a pimple on her face, lucky. She has quite a few beauty marks spread around her face. They are both insanely beautiful. I caught them off guard but they caught me, stumbling back a little. "Hieee! I MISSED YOU GUYS!" "we missed you TOO!" they said in unison. We all were smiling so big. It has been months since I've seen them and a few weeks since we've talked. Once we let go, we realized that almost everyone was sitting down. We were in between the Slytherin and Hufflepuff table. "I should go sit down. I'll see you guys later." I said hugging them. "Okay see you soon." Clover said. "Yeah." Jasmine agreed.

I was looking for Isabella and Elis as I walked away. I saw them on the other side of the table and walked to them, taking a seat in the gap they made for me between them; our backs facing the wall. Oliver, Liam, and Noah were sitting across from us. We were close to the professors table but not so close that we would be able to talk to the first years. I couldn't help but have this feeling that someone was watching me but I didn't want to look and see who it was. I didn't want to make it awkward . After everyone was sorted, the professor gave a speech then students from the Beauxbatons Academy of Magic, and the Durmstrang Institute came in with an entertaining routine. After that, Dumbledore told us about the Goblet of fire and the Triwizard's tournament and how you had to be 17 to enter. I hear a bunch of groans and sighs. "That's bullshit! If it was 17 and older then he should have either started with that and not got us all excited or only told the people that were 17 and older." Liam said as he rolled his eyes in anger.

Finally, after what felt like hours the food appeared, I quickly started to eat shoving food into my mouth. I was starving. The feeling of someone's eyes on me was still there, which was weird because why was someone staring at me, it was like they never left. I looked around not moving my head, so I could catch whoever it was. When I searched the Slytherin table for the person who had their eyes on me. I made eye contact with Draco Malfoy. Why was Draco Malfoy staring at me? "Ughh." I mumbled to myself and looked away. I have gone all these years staying off of Draco's radius but now all that was down the drain. I never wanted anything to do with him. All of his friends were sucky people who made everyone feel bad, to make them feel better about themselves. I never understood how making other people feel like crap could make you feel good. And he treated anyone who wasn't his friend like they were beneath him. Which also made me nervous because only Isabella, Elis, Liam, Noah, and Oliver and some of the professors knew that one of my parents was a muggle and I have seen how he treats Hermione, because her parents are muggles. It's not a secret but it's not really a subject that was talked about a lot between me and my friends. Maybe I am blowing this out of proportion, yeah that's what I'm doing. I mean, sure, I did bump into him and insult him. But that doesn't mean he has to get back at me for calling him out in front of his friends. And it definitely doesn't mean that he is going to try to make everyday at Hogwarts miserable for me and try tearing down my confidence. He wouldn't be able to do either because I have the best friends in the world and I don't care about what some snobby, arrogant boy thinks, or has to say about me. My stomach felt weird. Seconds later my eyes were pulled back to his like a magnet. As soon as we locked eyes his flung head to look at his food and started to rub the back of his neck. He was probably hoping I didn't realize he was staring at me. I continued to stare for a few more seconds then looked away. If i didn't know better I would have thought he was nervous. In that moment staring at him I realized that I've never really looked at his face, like really looked, and he was really attractive with his white blonde hair, piercing grey eyes, light pink lips, sharp jawline, and confidence oozing out of him. I noticed the way his white hair is parted in the middle and the front pieces lay perfectly on his forehead. Nonetheless, he is cruel for fun and I would never associate with someone like that. I look down at my food and hold onto what just happened until I can talk to Ellis and Isabella. I look up at Liam, Noah, and Oliver. "So Oliver I heard you got a girlfriend, and Noah I heard you got a boyfriend. I am so happy for you two. Tell me everything. Then tell me about your guys' summer. I missed you guys so much." I spit out. Not giving them a chance to speak. I immediately want to take it all back. "Sorry, I'm just really excited." I felt embarrassed with my word vomit. I then realized when I said boyfriend Noah nevoursely looked around. Fuck my stupid big mouth. Everyone looked at me and started to laugh even Noah. "How about you all shut up. I'm excited." I say laughing with them. All the embarrassment left my body. "It's alright Opal, you're a chatterbox." Oliver said laughing. " My favorite chatterbox." Liam said, making everyone laugh harder. " I think she is everyone's favorite chatterbox." Noah said smiling. "I guess, but you never answered my question." I said smiling right back at them. "Which one." Oliver said sarcastically, making everyone laugh again. " I missed this." Isabella said wrapping her arm around me resting her hand on Elis's shoulder.
