I remember when my parents we're home all the time. I was never bored, I always had something to do. My mother and I we're very close once, before her and my father had too many work business trips to go on. They never wanted me to find out about their work or what they did, but it's pretty hard to hide being a death eater from someone you live in the same house with.
Everyone always wishes they were me because I'm the perfect skinny blonde girl who everyone says is the prettiest person they've seen, with daddy's money, expensive jewelry, and all the clothes and makeup you could want. And yes, I am grateful for that and all but I literally have nothing to do for days which is why I look forward to going back to school every year. But this year was different, after getting scolded by my father for my poor grades this year I have decided to focus on my studies. No boys, no distractions.
Now I'm left at home all day for weeks on end. No siblings, no friends allowed over, just me and our house elf. I mainly waste my days thinking about upcoming events or how much better life will be at school.
"Miss." I heard a knock on my open door. "I went out shopping for your school necessities today." said Gimikey holding them out. Our very loyal house elf, he was standing in the open door way of my room being sure not to enter without permission.
"Oh, thank you Gimikey." I replied back and took them from him and placed them on my bed. When I picked up my books I saw written on the front of one of the books 'Hogwarts guide to magical drafts and potions' I then gasped and looked at Gimikey "They let me transfer?" I asked enthusiastically.
"Yes miss, they told me to tell you right away and that I will need to bring you to plattform 9 3/4 tomorrow at 11am." Gimikey said "Your dinner is downstairs whenever you are ready."
After that he left me in my room. I never really liked Beauxbatons Academy, but there was also my psycho ex best friend. I didn't tell my parents that that was the reason I wanted to transfer though because I knew they would just say it was my fault.

I could feel the sun on my pale skin as I was once conscious again, thankful I didn't have another nightmare. The nightmares would appear every few nights and sometimes to avoid them I would just stay up all night reading, stargazing, or playing my piano to keep me occupied.
"Gimikey!" I yelled across the house and he showed up instantly in my room.
"Yes miss?" He replied
"Could you get me a glass of water please?" I asked and he nodded before he immediately rushed to get me water.
"Here you go miss." He said handing me the glass which earned him a thank you nod and slight smile from me. "Anything else?" He asked.
"I'm alright, thank you Gimikey." He nodded then left my room closing the door behind him. I then chugged down the glass quickly and got up to go to my bathroom.
I brushed my teeth and washed my face I then walked out of my bathroom to to my vanity. I did my makeup and combed through my long blonde hair and curled the ends in. My mother always told me to dress elegant so I wore my usual everyday outfit being a black plaid skirt with a black headband, a white button up, and white socks with black mary janes. I packed my bags the day before and put them downstairs by the door when I was ready to apparate away with Gimikey.
I checked the time, 10:39. "Shit." I rushed downstairs and ate the breakfast that was waiting for me at the table and went over to my luggage. "Ok, I'm ready to leave!" I called out to Gimikey."
"Ok miss." He said and grabbed my forearm and luggage and apparated us to the plattform. "Here we are miss, theres the train you leave in."
"Thank you, what time is it?" I asked
"10:58 miss."He relied after checking the clock hung on the brick wall. "Do you have everything miss?"
"Yes." I answered.
"Good, Gimikey wishes you a safe ride to Hogwarts miss." Gimikey said.
"Thank you Gimikey. Goodbye." I said and walked onto the train with my luggage in my hand.
I walked through the crowd of people, trying to get onto the train. Once I got on I went into one of the many empty compartments putting my baggage down. "Hey , could me and my brother sit here with you?" I heard one of the sweetest voices ever, ask. I turned around to look at them and saw a semi tall girl standing in the doorway of the compartment. She had light brunette hair and golden tanned skin with brown eyes and many freckles placed along her face.
"Of course." I replied with a short warm smile.
"Thank you so much." She said sounding relived and walked in with a much taller boy, by her side. "These compartments fill up quick. I'm Astoria Greengrass by the way and this is my brother Lorenzo Berkshire." She said introducing herself and him, Lorenzo waved at me and gave an awkward smile. His hair color matched his sister's and he had bluish brownish eyes.
"Why are you last names different?" I asked looking between the both of them.
"We're half siblings. My mom divorced my dad a little after I was born and had Enzo a year later with my step dad." She replied to my question.
"Oh, well I'm Lacey Floquet." I said replying to her other statement.
"Lacey, hmm I'm not sure I've heard that name before. Are you new here?" She asked.
"Yeah, I just transferred here from Beauxbatons Academy." I answered her question.
"Oh, what's it like there? Do they have houses like Slytherin and Hufflepuff and ravencla-" She was cut off by Lorenzo.
"I think she gets it Astoria." He said, amusement in his voice. "Sorry, she talks a lot."
"It's fine." I replied lightly laughing at them. "Yeah it's just like Hogwarts with the houses. I'm in Slytherin."
"Really? We are too!" She said excitedly. "Enzo's in fifth year and I'm in fourth."
"I am in fourth year as well." I said, not as enthusiastic as Astoria had been.
"Omg we're gonna be roommates!" She said super excited.
"Shut the fuck up Astoria, your being so loud and annoying." Lorenzo said clearly annoyed with his sister.
"I'm not being annoying, I'm being nice." She spat back at him and he just rolled his eyes and started reading a book from his bag. "Anyways, I love you hair do you die it?" She asked intrigued by my appearance.
We talked the rest of the ride to Hogwarts. I loved her personality and the way she talked, she was so enthusiastic and smiled all the time. In the middle of the train ride Astoria said we had to get dressed into our robes so we took turns going to the changing room.
The train finally stopped and we got off leaving our luggage behind fore they would be sent to our dorm rooms. When I saw the castle my jaw dropped in shock from how beautiful it was. "It's Beautiful." I said not necessarily talking to anyone.
"I know right?" Astoria stated agreeing with me.
