The Rose Renegades

The Halfblood Princess

A baby blue colored pencil hit a blank piece of stark white drawing paper. It curved across the paper in a delicate curl. Then another and another until it left. Immediately a red orange one made a beautifully curved semi circle in between the blue curves forming the bird's underbelly.

"There you are Odelia,"a voice came from behind the girl who was drawing between two white lily bushes. Odelia jumped up immediately dropping a colored pencil or two. She picked them up and turned to her mother.

"Oh no! Am I going to be late," Odelia panicked as she shoved her drawing materials into a large black backpack that had painted on multi colored lilies all over it.

"Not unless you get in the car now," Odelia's mom snapped,her red hair shaking with every nod she made. Her emerald green eyes seemed to gleam with sarcasm. 

Odelia got into the red Ford Escort that her mom drove. Odelia knew her dad was already at Hogwarts since he was the Potions professor, so he had to be at Hogwarts before her. Odelia stared out the window of the cars and saw the green and red and orange of the trees zoom past her.

Odelia remembered the first time she stepped on Platform nine and three quarters. She had only two friends , Victoria Black and Draco Malfoy , and was scared shitless of what was going to happen at Hogwarts. But then a boy who had straight dark brown hair and chocolate brown eyes came up to her and asked for her name. He then introduced himself as Draco's cousin and Victoria, Draco, Odelia, and the boy became best friends ever since.

But Odelia was now stepping on the platform for the fifth time in her life without a care in the world. That's because she is top of her class and has three amazing friends who she knows would catch her if she started to fall.
