Twenty-First Century Girl in the Wizarding World [ON HIATUS]

Chapter six

>Dracious's POV<

{September the First}

" Dracious! You left your Potions book on your table." Mother said, holding up the book.

" Thank you mother. I was doing some late night reading last night." i said, reaching out my hand to take it.

" Son. I hope you get into Gryffindor. If Muriel threatens to send me a letter,  I DON'T  CARE! " Father said, chuckling a little.

I nodded eagerly, chuckling to myself, waiting to see Muriel's reaction. I glanced at the clock and was shocked to see that it was half past ten.

" Father, it's almost half past ten. We should get going." I informed him. "Oh yes! We'd better! thanks son. " Father said as he stuck out his arm for me to take.

I took it quickly and got ready for apparation to king cross station. I was dragged into thin air. Feeling my grip slip a little on Father's silk coat, I tightened my grip on his arm and  I heard a faint chuckle.

My feet touched the ground and i opened my eyes. The familar face of Kings Cross station greeted me. The memories of seeing off Muriel and Egbert came back but the excitment of going to Hogwarts pushed my memories to the back of my head.  I casually leant against the barrier, running a little. I soon heard the familiar sound of the Hogwarts Express. A grin spread across my face as I heard the familiar rustle of my parents' cloaks.

"Dracious!" the high pitch of Muriel rang through the platform. I turned in frustration and plastered a fake grin on my face. I gave her one glance and immediately turned my attention to the Hogwarts Express. Her blouse was unbuttoned and her skirt barely covered her bottom, her face caked in make-up.

"Hello, Muriel." I said with a curt nod.

"You're here! You had better in Slytherin. I'll write a letter to your father if you don't." Muriel said, to my annoyance.  I decided to have fun and fake-whined to her.

" But i wanna be in Gryffindor." 

Muriel gave me a face of disgust and disbelief and stomped off.  I gave a light chuckle and my eyes found blue hair and found myself staring at two people. One with yellow and one with blue. I recognised  them as the two people who were accompanying the red haired girl at Flourish and Blotts.

I searched the platform for the girl, but to no avail. Sighing, i got up, got onto the train, went to the last cabin and placed my trunk in the cabin, then went to to the hallway and looked out the window and saw that it was a couple of minutes away from eleven and then saw my parents walking towards me. 

" Dracious, we want you to send us a letter once you have gotten to your dorm and once every fortnight." Mother informed me. i nodded while my mind was going away, her words drifting in one ear and leaving the other . 

Finally, the train started moving. I waved to my parents until the train turned around a bend and they were out of sight. I walked into the cabin and saw that the two metamorphmagus from Diagon Alley had entered and had placed my trunk and theirs in the luggage rack. 

"Hullo." I greeted them. The girl with the blonde hair turned and she smiled a 100-watt smile. 

"Hullo, I'm Nymphadora. Call me Dora." she greeted. I looked at the other and saw that he had blue hair.

"What's with sky head here? " I asked Dora. " Sky head is my twin, Remus." Dora said, looking slightly offended.

Those names sounded vaguely familiar. Then it struck me, Remus was Teddy's father and Teddy is his father's best friend from Hogwarts.

Curiousity filled me and I blurted out " Is your father Teddy Remus Lupin??"  Remus's head snapped immediately upon hearing his name.

"HUH? WHO IN MERLINS BEARD IS THIS DORA?" he said in a loud booming voice. "If you had paid attention to anything we were talking about , you would know that this guy is Dracious. He just asked if Teddy was our father, which i have not answered because of your ruddy shouting. " Dora replied, clearly frustrated.  She then looked at me and said " Yes."

Remus's outburst had driven all thought out of my mind.

"Wha-. OH YES! Really? My father's Scorpious Herion Malfoy." I said.

Their mouths hung open and their hair turned blue . I was wondering what does blue mean until i saw their faces contort in confusion.  Oh... so blue meant confused. Finally when Dora's hair turned back to its original colour of blonde, she said" Oh yes! Remus. CLOSE THAT RUDDY MOUTH OF YOURS! Scorpious, son of Draco, yes?"  I nodded, relieved. 

Just then another student entered the cabin, holding onto a toad and dragging his trunk along. 

"Can i sit here?? Everywhere else is full." the brownhaired boy asked.

"Sure. There's one more seat" I replied pointing at the seat next to Dora. Dora smiled her 100-watt smile and said" Hullo, I'm Dora, that dufus there is Remus. And he" she pointed at me" is Dracious. And you are?" 

"I'm eh... R..Ron N...Neville L..Longb..ottom" the boy stuttered.

"You're Neville Longbottom's grandson!" I blurted out. He gave me a shaky nod. Then the chatter started. Making us all instant friends.
