My Own Treachery

Chapter 4 | To Hogwarts | Part 2

I could hear talking outside the door, assuming it were the trolley, I took out some gallons, ready to request a few treats. However, the door opened to reveal a familiar white blond head, that sat upon whom I assumed was the son of Lucius Malfoy. With him were a pair of well fat boys, both being a bit taller then the Malfoy kid, I didn't recognize the two fat kids.

"Oi, I know you" The little Lucius stated walking into the compartment, "you're one of the Ravenclaw girls, my father pointed you and the other one out at the party last week, yea."

I raised a brow, were the Malfoys there? I couldn't recall, then again I was preoccupied with my father, and the desire to leave, "I'm Amber Rose, my sister is Ava Romulea" I informed him, then tilted my head, trying to think of his first name, "You're Lucius Malfoys son, right, I don't think I've been told your first name" I muttered, holding my hand out to shake.

"The names Draco Malfoy, looks as if this train is full of known names for the new year." He replied shaking my hand, I gave him a questioning look, "The decendents of the Rowena Ravenclaw and the boy who lived, Harry Potter" He answered my unasked question, saying the last part with a bitter tone. "Hopefully, you aren't as as much wankers as that Potter kid."

Just as he finished, the door opened to show the trolley, with treats, feeling my mouth water, I stood up to see the old lady, "Anything off of the trolley dears?" the old plump witch asked in a friendly tone.

"May I have some liquorice wands, jelly slugs and a glass of pumpkin juice" I requested, the woman nodded proceeding to get the snacks I had asked for. I then looked over to where the cat carrier was, and thought of Hermione, "Also some chocolate frogs and a cup of water, if you have any? " I asked kindly, thinking Hermione would like some frogs, while her cat and Capone could share the water. The woman then handed me my first order, a package of both the liquorice and jellies, and then gave me the frogs, followed by the two cups of liquid. "Thank you, ma'am" I then sat down, after picking up the cat cage and setting it over on my side of the compartment.

The three boys then began to get food, the two large ones asking for an excessive amount of treats while Draco had taken a cauldron cake, a box of Bertie Bott's beans and some pumpkin juice. Draco ended up sitting next to me, on the other side of the cat carrier, while the two fat boys sat on the other side of the trolley, after they had rudely shoved Hermiones book bag to the ground. I pulled her bag over tucking it under my seat, where my own bag was sitting. I placed the treats i ordered next to me on the seat, along with the cup of water, wanting to drink the pumpkin juice first.

As I took a sip of the pumpkin juice, it was cold, not as good as a warm cup of pumpkin juice, but it was nice none the less, and quenched my thirst. Once the cup was empty, I then picked up the cup of water and looked to the Crookshanks, it was a lion looking ginger cat with big orange eyes.

Mentally, I was praying it would stay in the cage, and that Capone would stay asleep for a bit longer, so the cat wouldn't eat him as I opened the door and leaned the cup of water towards it, so he could drink. With what I thought to be a thankful, grateful meow he stuck his head out a bit, getting closer to the cup and lapped up some water.

I was so focused on my task, of giving the cat water, while making sure he didn't come fully out of the cage, that I didn't notice that my name were being called. Finally, looking up once i realized my name had been called, Draco's face was all scrunched up, his lips in a pout, and his eyes narrowed, full of annoyance I assumed. His face changed once I looked up at him as if he was glad I was paying attention.

"Are you going to be in Ravenclaw?" He questioned, his voice was laced with the annoyance that had left his face.

I shrugged, "I'd assume so, if not my father might feed me to the birds" I informed him, with slight humor, "How about you? I think my father said Malfoy's are prominently Slytherin, do you wish to follow suit?"

He let out a huff, as if offended I would ask a question, "Of course, so will Crabbe and Goyle here, our families are all Slytherin, the best house" He said with pride. The two fat boys, Crabbe and Goyle nodding in agreement, with chocolate on their faces. I rolled my eyes and let out a small laugh. As I closed the cat cage, seeing that Crookshanks was finished drinking.

"How truely sure are you? As that sounds biased, seeing how you've probably been influenced by family that were in Slytherin. It'd be like me saying Ravenclaw is the greatest house and bloodline. " I explained, "But I know for a fact Ravenclaw isn't the greatest house, or bloodline, it might be one of the best, but not number one, as each house is great in its own way, as is each bloodline"

Draco only let out a huff of a laugh, "If not Ravenclaw, you'll end up in Hufflepuff, hopefully Ravenclaw, as I think it'd be better for our friendship, if you weren't a Puff nor a Gryff" he retorted.

I raised an eyebrow, as i felt awkwardly happy. It's not even my first day at Hogwarts and I've already made three friends, or at least two. Draco and Crookshanks for sure, hopefully Hermione was the third friend. The rest of the ride the three boys talked while I sat there munching on a few of my snacks. It felt like hours when had past. Where was Hermione? I wondered. The boys left to get their robes on, as we were getting closer to the school, only half an hour left.

When the door slide open, in the door way was none other than, Hermione, "Where the bloody hell have you been?" I demanded, I immediately regretting my tone, it came out a bit more aggressive then I intended, "Did you guys find the toad?"

She shook her head in a no, taking a seat across from me, "We did, and I spent time meeting Harry Potter and your sister" She responded, tilting her head to the side, "I hope it's alright for me to say but you two aren't that much alike, she has blond hair and seems a bit more gossipy"

I raised an eyebrow, assuming she had changed her appearance, "It's alright, but she's not really blond, she probably changed it seeing as we're away from our parents"

With a confused look Hermione questioned me, "with a spell? Or hair dye?"

Releasing a chuckle i shook my head and proceeded to alter the color of my hair to green, turned my ears into elf one and gave my self a hoof for a hand, "We are metamorphmagi, we can change our looks, our parents are very strict with wanting us to look alike them, brown hair and all" I reverted back to my brown haired self, my normal ears and got rid of the hoof hand, "The only thing they don't mind us changing are our eye colors."

She smiled widely in shock, "That's bloody amazing!" At that moment the train had come to a stop, causing us both to nearly fall out of our seats, "I suppose it's time to get off" She said looking out the window, as did I, noting how dark it was. She picked up the cat cage and her book back, as I picked up mine. She was piratically jumping out and off the train.

Before we got off the train, there were prefects that were taking bags, Hermione had to hand over her bag and cat, while I just handed over my bag. Not saying a think about Capone, afraid they'd take him away and I'd have a panic attack. Thankfully, Hermione didn't say a thing, as we both walked off the train.

"First years over here!" Called a large man that stood on the plat form, closest to the the front of the train.

"That's Harry Potter right there" Hermione mutter, pointing at a boy with dark hair, that had greeted the large person.

We were all ushered towards the boats, I sat with Hermione, as the boats took us. I then remembered, "Oh, Hermione here" I spoke pulling out the chocolate frog that i got her handing it over.

"Awesome, thanks! You're an awesome friend" she said thankful, putting the frog in her pocket probably for later. Soon we were both sitting on a bot with two other students. In the distance I could see the large castle, it was way bigger than the Ravenclaw manor. It was beautiful in the eerie night with the moon behind it reflecting on the water.
