Is Everything As It Seems

Exhaustion and the first day

Chapter 6 ~ Exhaustion & The First Day

Disclaimer: read chapter 1

After being comforted by Hayley and talking to her a bit longer I decided to call it a night and head back to my dormitory. Saying "Fame, Glory, Death" and the portrait opening allowed me to walk in. The common area was a mixture between green and a light silver on the walls with a black couch and a fire place with the fire on, must of been the house elves. Instead of sitting in the common are and reading a book in front of the fire I walked straight by and into my bed chambers. The king size bed had white sheets with a green duvet cover and silver pillows on it, perfection.

I got changed into a Slytherin green tank top and a pair of black leggings. After getting into bed I allowed myself to wallow in self despair. That night I managed to fall into a dreamless sleep. Blackness surrounded me.

"I wanna make up right na, na, na

Wish we never broke up right na, na, na"

Ughh shut that fucking alarm clock up! I rolled over and slammed my hand down on the button to get the thing to shut up.

"I'm up, I'm up God!" with that said I jumped out of bed and ran to the bathroom to shower. Once out the shower I used a drying spell to dry my body and hair. I shoved on my green bathrobe and sat down on the chair in front of the mirror. I crimped my hair and stuck a green ribbon in my hair. I put on mascara and light bronze eye shadow. I then chucked my uniform on which consisted of;

A black skirt

White blouse

Slytherin tie

Black tights

3 inch knee high boots.

Silver robe

I got my bag ready cast a tempus and I was right on schedule. I walked to the portrait and it swung open, walking out I saw Hayley standing there waiting for me.

"There you are I was just about to come in and drag you out Lestrange! Come on or we won't have enough time for breakfast!" With that being said my wrist was grabbed and i found myself being dragged to the Great Hall.

Once in the Great Hall we ate a quick breakfast and then we were on our way to transfiguration.

Transfiguration was followed by charms, followed by arithmacy.

This seemed to be blur to me as I know this year's entire course. After arithmacy we went to lunch. Sitting down at the Slytherin table I grabbed a sandwich and juice. While eating a felt a hand touch my shoulder, I jumped and turned around to see my other cousin Draco Malfoy.

"Hello I'm Draco Malfoy and you must be Nikki Lestrange my cousin who went missing fifteen years ago?"

"Um yes that's me"

What surprised me most was what happened next. Instead of walking away he puts his arms around me and whispered into my ear "Welcome home cousin."

During this interaction I could feel a slight pressure on my oclimens walls and the feeling that someone was staring at the back of my head. I made sure my barriers were intact and continued with my lunch.

After lunch Hayley and I had double potions while Drake had double transfiguration which is unlucky. Walking into the classroom Hayley and I sat at the back of the class so that we could be as far away from the golden duo.

The door slammed closed and in walked my crush since the age of thirteen professor Snape.

"Open your books to page 456 and start brewing liquid luck"

Making the potion was quite simple once you knew how and since I know this year's course it was a walk in the park for me. With twenty minutes to spare my potion was complete and bottled up. I cleaned my cauldron and took my potion up to the front of the class.

"What is it Miss Lestrange?"

"I am finished sir," I said and handed over my vial of liquid luck and walked back to my seat. I doodled mindlessly on a piece of parchment until the bell went. Hayley and i stood and left the classroom and headed to my chambers to start on some homework before dinner.

After dinner i went back to my chambers and hopped in the shower to relax my tensed muscles and hopped into bed. Today was some exhausting first day. What will tomorrow have in store for me?
