October looked at the clock again.
'Soon.' her inner animal shouted, unable to be set free just yet. 'The forest please, the magic.' So far she's ignored the animal within. The moon was almost at its highest point. October stuck her head out off the secret room she had made her own. No one knew about it, not even Jayymus. She had entire rooms decorated like every house in the school. The fire place looked like Gryffindor to match the three portraits of the Older Gryffindors Remus, Sirius and James along with a autographed picture of Oliver Wood of the Chudley Cannons and a smiling autographed picture of the Weasley twins and owner of Weasley's Wizard Wheezes. It had a red velvet couch and a plushy gold chair and a red velvet and gold wood side couch. A beautiful limestone fireplace stood in the middle and it had a red and gold stripped shagged carpet with ebony wood floors. In the library/study room it was Ravenclaw, Rowena stood proud with her daughter and a picture of Luna Lovegood. The room was rounded with many old books, scrolls and a nice mohogany desk with a peacock feather quill and shining navy blue ink. The walls where white with blue trim and the carpet was fluffy and looked like the sky. Her Hufflepuff room was an extra bedroom that had a picture of Helga and a picture of Beetle the Bard. Two small twin sized beds and a small desk between. The floor was black and the walls were yellow. The fourth room was Slytherin, the main bedroom. The bed was queen sized and the floor was forest green, made of very soft fabric and the walls were a shining silver made of marble. A beautiful crystal chandelier hung in the center of the ceiling. Salazar and Severus Snape hung in there along with a nice painting of Narsissa and Lucius Malfoy. A few books and an ebony and silver desk on the left wall. She left the rooms and walked passed moaning Mertal's bathroom, where she unfortunately ran in to Fred and Arabelle Weasley.
"OW! Watch it you git!" Arabelle screamed as she fell over and her twins books were knocked to the floor.
"Oi! You otta be a bit more wary about who you run into, Malfoy." Fred sneered. He pushed her out of the way to help Arabelle up and grab her books. The twins glared at the Malfoy girl.
"You owe us an apology." they snapped at the same time.
October gruffed like a angered horse, sneering like a Malfoy while she looked at the Weasleys.
"My apologies Arabelle and Weasle b." October did feel bad about running into Arabelle but Fred was just rude. "Now if you don't mind, excuse me." she said again looking at the clock. She would be late if she didn't hurry. That would be a very bad thing indeed. Arabelle pushed her back.
"What did you just call him?" she snapped. Nobody messed with her brother but her. October pulled her arm away.
"Do not push your luck Weasley, you and the Weasle B, or would you like to talk to Professor Snape? That is where I am going after all." October lied swiftly and smoothly. "Now be off you are out past curfew." Arabelle chortled.
"So are you liar. We just came back from Snape and he said he wasn't expecting anyone else." "Does it look like we care about being caught past curfew?" Fred shrugged off the threat. "And if you want to be snarky I'd have to say you're father was a great teacher. After all, he did teach me about being a weasle. He and Mad Eye Moddy that is." Arabelle high fived her brother. "What are you really up to Malfoy?" she asked becoming curious.
October did not show the emotion of any her face blanked. "At least I don't have quite the litter, you Weasleys breed like rabbits. Now excuse me for being tutored by Marcus Flint Jr in quidditch 101." October unfolded the approval note written by her head of house. Of course Snape would know she was off prancing like a unicorn playing tag with a wolf pup. But the Weasleys would not. Arabelle laughed.
"Well if you had any natural talent, you wouldn't have to be tutored at midnight." An idea popped into her head. "How about a little wager?"
October sneered "you wouldn't know talent if it hit you in the face. But fine. Tomorrow, at 10. You choose the bloody course. For now, I'm late." October walked out of the hall and quickly left the school grounds to the Whomping Willow when the Weasleys could not see her. As she made it to the base of the tree she nervously streaked her white blond and black hair with light blue. She concentrated on her magic and took her animagus form. A proud black and silver unicorn with a shining silver horn. Suddenly a sandy blonde and hot pink wolf came out and greeted her happily by yipping and pouncing on her back as if asking for a piggy back ride, which October happily gave.
