The Harper household has always been a strict one, one with firm words and sharp eyes. Yet like every other story, there's always one person who can burn it down with a single flick of their wrist. In this fanfic of Harry Potter, that person is Cass...

"Hey gorgeous." Cassandra greeted Zephyr as she sat down on the bench beside Caterina, who as always, had her nose stuck in a book. As soon as the words slipped out of her mouth, Cassies eyes went wide and she spluttered as Zephyr looked up with a hopeful expression.
"Gorgeous-, hair-, face-, eyes-, morning!" She sighed and took a breath, seeing Zephyr grin at her slightly. "Gorgeous, morning today." Cass settled on, making Lee give her an odd look.
"It's lashing ra-." He started, glancing towards the window, but was cut off when Cassie kicked him under the table. He choked slightly, but tried to cover it up as Angelina strolled by with Katie. He gave the chaser a smirk and a wink, to which she rolled her eyes at.
Katie waved at Cassie. "Hey Cass." She greeted softly with a smile, Cass gave a friendly grin back.
"Hello my dear dorm mate, where's Alicia?" Cass asked, glancing around for the blonde.
"She only woke up, she was up late last night for some reason." Angelina answered, blocking out Lee, who was biting his lip as seductively as he could in her direction. "Hey are you all going to the Slytherin party tonight?"
Zephyr nodded, glancing at Cassie to see her answer, her lips twitching up when the girl nodded a yes. Lee squinted her eyes. "But it's a school night." He stated, but it came of more as a question. Angelina lifted an eyebrow at him and he turned red. "I-I mean, party on-on a school night? Yeah, yeah, I'm-I'm down."
Fred sniggered, sitting down on the other side of Cass, giving her a small smile which she returned. Zephyr rolled her eyes at his lovestruck face, but gulped when she seen Cassies smile.
Visha and Chance strolled over chatting away, with Cho trailing behind them, with something in her hands. They all sat down and Cho leaned over to Zephyr and handed her something that made Cassies face drop slightly. "Here's Zassie back." Cho stated, while placing the sliver charmed dragon on Zephyrs palm.
Zephyr nodded in thanks and bit her lip, feeling the stares of judgment burning into her. When Cho asked to show off the dragon to her friends, Zephyr was reluctant because it meant something to her and Cassie, but she gave in over time.
Cho didn't pick up on the tension and kept talking as she loaded up her plate. "You know I was wondering," she paused, looking thoughtful, "why is it named Zassie? Is it like 'sassy'? Or what-."
"Because Zassie for life bitches!" Both Chance and Visha shouted in response, then high-fived aggressively. Cass squeezed her eyes shut in embarrassment and disappointment and Zephyr sunk down in her seat, with a beat red face.
No one else commented and they once again ate their breakfast in silence.

Cassandra laughed and took yet another sip of firewiskey as Fred gave out to George with a look of offense.
"You-you snuck out after curfew, without me?" He questioned, disbelief shinning in his eyes. "Wh-why?" Georges mischievous grin fell, as his twin waited for an answer.
