Harry Potter's world wasn't what everyone thought it was. His relatives abused and starved him, using him as their personal house elf. At school, everyone excepted him to be Gryffindor's Golden Boy. Add in a house swap and a tournament of death and...
"So Harry, how do you think this year is gonna go?" Sage asks, tying her long black and blue hair in a messy bun.

"Well, I'm going three for three, so..." He says, shrugging as he puts on his cloak. I feel concerned about the fact that he's so casual about almost dying three years in a row, but before I can say anything, the train comes to a stop and we hear people moving outside.
"I guess we're here. We better go before they think the Golden Boy is missing." Sage snickers, unlocking and opening the door with a wave of her hand. As we leave the train, I notice people staring at us in either confusion, disbelieve, joy, or anger. Obviously the joy is coming from the other Slytherins, but the Gryffindor's look livid, well, most of them do. The Drarry fan club members, Neville, the Weasley twins, Hermione, Dean, and Shamus, all look thrilled.
"Harry!" We hear someone shriek, causing Pounce to flinch because of the high pitch. We turn to see two angry Weasley's and Hermione approaching us.
"This outta be good." Sage whispers, earning an eye roll from both myself and Draco. Sage loves to piss off Ron and Ginny, it's like a hobby for her.
"What are you doing with those no good snakes!?" Ron says, earning a hiss from Sage, who takes snake insults personally due to her abilities and her pet. Ron flinches back, obviously unnerved by Sage, as is most of the school, Sage is well known for her temper after all.
"Yeah, Harry. Why didn't you sit with me?" Ginny asks in a nauseatingly sweet voice. I glance over and see Sage pretend gagging, earning a snicker from me. Ginny, on the other hand, glares at Sage. Sage then flashes her eyes, quickly turning her pupils into slits and then back to normal, causing Ginny to flinch.
"Am I not allowed to talk to my relatives?" Harry responds, earning a confused look from everyone except myself and Sage. You see, my father is the cousin to one James Potter, so we're second cousins. Then there's Sage, who's a Black, so she's related to him somehow.
"What are you talking about?" Ron asks, looking confused as usual. As Harry explains everything, I notice Sage freeze up. I look over and see her eyeing someone in the crowd. I follow her sight and I snicker when I figure it out. Yes! My ship is still alive! I see that she's looking at one Daphne Greengrass, a fellow Pureblood. I've been shipping these two since I met them. It's kind of funny to watch Sage, who is usually detached and distant, fall over herself for someone. The best, or worse part depending on how you look at it, is that Daphne is all for dating Sage, but Sage is in denial. I feel sorry for her because with all the hard ships she's been through, she refuses to open herself up to someone romantically.
"Are you serious?! You're related to these snakes?!" Ron shouts, breaking Sage's stare and my thoughts.
"Is that not what I just explained?" Harry says with an unimpressed look, but before anyone can say anything else, Hagrid shows up and starts herding us towards the school.
As we reach the lake, everyone starts heading into boats. I look over and see that Harry and the two Weasleys are arguing. I nudge Sage and Draco, gaining their attention. They look over and I see that Draco gains a furious look. Suddenly, before anyone can do anything, Harry storms off and we follow him.
As we reach him, I see that he's near tears. Sage suddenly grabs his hand, leading him towards a boat. We all end up sitting in one big boat. It goes Harry, then Draco on his right, Blaise next to Draco, Theo next to Blaise, then Me, then Daphne, and then next to Daphne is Sage, much to my pleasure.
As we reach the school, we see the chariots waiting for us. It ends up with Draco, Harry, Blaise, and then Theo in one chariot and myself, Sage, and Daphne in another. I quickly hop onto one side of the chariot and spread out so that Sage and Daphne have to share a side. I will go done with this ship, so help me god.
"I hate you." Sage mumbles to me as she enters the chariot with Daphne right behind her. As they are about to sit down, the chariot pulls to motion, sending Sage right into Daphne and sending both of them onto the seat with Sage on top of Daphne's lap, causing me to laugh.
"Shut up!" Sage growls, flashing her eyes at me in anger. We get situated and are on our way to the castle, though Sage is still blushing brightly and glaring out the window. Daphne is just staring at Sage, completely enthralled with my sister-like best friend.
I'm making it my mission to make these two a couple before this year is over.
