Fae Queen of Slytherin

Day One at Hogwarts

"Hey, hey, wake up! You have to get ready for your first day!" I rub my eyes and stare groggily at Gwynyth.

"What? Gwynyth! It's like, four!"

"Call me Gwyn, and no it is not four, it's seven forty five."

"Oh. yeah. right. whatever." I roll out of bed and almost fall headfirst into the pool of water surrounding it.

"Speaking of which, your room is total awesome sauce, do you just really like nature?"

"Yeah, sure. That. Like I said, whatever. Can we do whatever you expect me to do this early?"

Gwyn smiles dramatically, "Follow me." She leads me to the bathroom and sits me down in front of the mirror. "your make up was put into this little drawer here- see, the one that has your name on it and- oh honey you only brought mascara?"

"um... yes?" It's not my fault... I can't go into a store without having a panic attack, and Dad can't go in there and buy it for me, he wouldn't know what to get.

"Honey, really? Come on, sit down, Gwynyth has you covered." Gwyn pushed me down into a chair and began talking on and on about different types of makeup and what they did while she pulled out brushes and sponges and all sorts of things from the drawer labeled Gwynyth Whitlock "Okay, now, this is foundation. You put it on first..." why me? I didn't ask for this! I don't need a lesson on makeup! I don't!

                                                                                      ~~~

"There! All done!" Gwyn smiles at me in the mirror. My reflection stares back at me, my dark, indigo hair frames my face, other than that, I'm unrecognizable.

"I look like Marianne." My 'cousin', who always has at least eighty pounds of makeup slathered all over her face.

"Who's that?"

"My cousin, well, she isn't really my cousin, but we call her my cousin."

"That's nice, come on! You don't want to be late to breakfast!"

                                                                                       ~~~

"Lupa! There you are! What took you so long? Breakfast started twenty minutes ago!" I shoot a glare at Gwyn's back and hurry to meet Fred and George.

"Sorry, Gwyn decided to give me a lesson in-"

"What is that all over your face? War paint?"

"It's makeup. Gwyn decided I needed it. Quick, help me get it off."

George points his wand at my face, "Scourgify! There, it's gone. We brought toast, care for a stroll around the lake?" 

"Okay, sure. Is it really gone? I think you're lying. Fred? Is it gone?"

"Yeah, it's gone." Fred smiles reassuringly, "it is very gone, here, Accio mirror!" A mirror flies through the air towards him, followed by a girl who is trying- and failing to catch it. Fred grabs it and shows me my un-makeupped, very recognizable face. "Here, sorry 'bout that" He hands it back to the girl who glares at him and storms off.

"Miss Titus! There you are!" one of the professors hurries towards me and holds out a peice of parchment, "Your schedule."

"Oh, thanks professor." He turns and walks away, his cloak billowing behind him.

"Who's that?"

"Professor Snape, head of Slytherin House, come on, the lake is calling!"

"oh, Yeah, The Slytherin common room is under the lake! If you look out the windows it's really cool!"
