As i go to sit in the great hall for the first night, im forced to sit with the Slytherins.
Despite being of such a high status the other Slytherins dont like my family much. I never cared for why as i enjoy my alone time and they're opinion of us never bothered me or my family. I still attend all the parties and social events as a good heir should, but i barely get approached let alone get invited out onto the dance floor.
My only friend being a quiet Ravenclaw that not many people take seriously, but i do. Luna approaches me in the great hall getting disgusted looks from the other Slytherins, which doesn't bother us anymore as we usually stay in our own little world.
"Hello Sugar, how was your summer?" Her airy voice makes way to my ears, somehow always able to calm me down. "It was good Luna, how about yours?" I ask not being able to see my younger friend much this summer as i had "duties" to attend to. "Oh it was quiet interesting, did you know..." her voice trails off as i catch sight of the Weasley twins. I never noticed how handsome the two were, their hair grown out to their shoulders. Their eyes make way over to the Slytherin table, scanning it, before locking with mine. The smirk that sits on both of their faces, almost like they're relishing the fact i was already staring at them, causes the hair on the back if my neck to stand up. I suddenly feel like a prey being watched by a predator.
Snapping out of it, i hear luna giggle lightly before tapping my shoulder, letting me know she will be off now. I nod at her as Dumbledore starts his speech, everyone getting settled and quiet as everyone waits for the first years to be sorted so we can go.
Suddenly feeling watched i look around the great hall, again locking eyes with the twins. They seem to be whispering to each other while staring at me, almost as if they're planning something. And if thats the case, thats not good. I know the twins are known for pranks and goofs and i like being able to walk around unnoticed, or as unnoticed as you can get being an Everclear.
I turn away from them, hoping that they forget about me and move on.
•••••••••••••••••••
It's the first week of classes and everyone is already drained. I guess we just needed a little more time off.
Taking some time myself i have a free period and desperately need a nap as i walk to the slytherin common room, i hear rapid footsteps making their way towards me. Turning around in wide hall, i see the twins once again, running as they lock eyes with me it seems like they're almost relieved.
"Everclear!" "Help us out will you?" They say at the same time as they reach me. Looking at them curiously, i give the most polite reply i could muster. "Why should i?" I ask.
Before they can say anything we hear the prudent voice of professor mcgonngal yelling for the Weasley boys. Looking back at them they both have a piece of gum in their mouths now. As they blow a bubble they start to rise, floating above my head now. Hearing mcgonigal turn the corner i look over in that direction hiding behind a pillar slightly. As she pass me i knock into her in accident, throwing her off course.
"Oh! Im so sorry professor, are you alright?" I ask, feigning innocence.
She fixes her robes before looking at me, "Oh, miss everclear, what a pleasure to see you. Im fine yes, have you happened to see the Weasley boys?" She says all in a rush, obviously wanting to get her hands on them. Whatever they did i want no part of.
"Well yes but no professor, you see i saw them but one went that way and the other went this way, then they changed and ran the opposite way before spinning around again and going back the way they came." I say as fast as i can, pointing in all different directions to confuse her even more. She stares at me quizzically, "Pardon?" She ask. "No professor, i haven't im sorry." I respond back, earning a exasperated sigh from the tired woman.
