I'll Save You Harper, That I Solemnly Swear

The Stare

All characters and the wizarding world rights belong to the lovely J.K. Rowling. Thank you for inspiring millions of us muggles and magic folk everyday.

September 1st was the best day of the entire year to Harper. It meant she was able to return to Hogwarts for her fourth term.So when she had awoken earlier that morning she jumped off her bed with excitement and rushed to get all her belongings together.

You see Harper had an enact for doing most things at the very last possible moment. Nonetheless she was able to get everything read just in time, before her ass of a nanny came to retrieve her . Harper was excited because this year she was going to travel to Kings Cross by the Ministry of Magics cars. Her father only was able to get one because he was going to be stuck at his job, and  wouldn't be able to see her off like previous years .

The large grandfather clock chimed nine times , ringing and vibrating all the walls of her Father's  Manor.Groaning she hurried and put on a pair of her school robes. She didn't want to have to do it later,she also wanted to sleep on the train.I guess you can say she didn't want to be bothered , especially now that boys began to "notice" her. 

                                          Knock Knock 

Harper knew those knocks meant it was time to leave . She smoothed the top of her hair one last time and grabbed all her luggage. Almost forgetting her Siamese cat Romeo. 

"Come on Romeo ." She patted the top of her trunk.

The cat stretched lazily and meowed at her. Harper swore her cat had an attitude because 90% of the time he didn't listen. 

"Romeo I can't be late, now come on !" She put her foot down and he jumped on the trunk, but for a second she could swear he rolled his eyes. 

Mrs. Lovette was about to knock again but Harper swung the heavy door open.They came eye to eye . 

"About bloody time. "The old hag scowled at Harper. "Thought you were going to make us late.Not in the mood for any of your shenanigans."

Harper rolled her eyes and pushed past her She wasn't going to let her damper her day.

 The train platform was bustling with families when she arrived. Harper could point to the first years right off the bat. She remembered her first ride like it was yesterday and the way her mother comforted her .

"Aye, Harper!"A tall dark complected boy ran over to her and slapped her shoulder playfully. 

 Blaise Zabini was the only Slytherin classmate that she was actually friends with. She talked and tolerated the rest, but he was different. He knew what it felt like to loose someone. Harper lost her mother and brother her first year at Hogwarts. Her father didn't go into much details but he said it was short and she didn't suffer much. 

"Did you catch the world cup?" Blaise snaked his long arm around Harper's arm and linked them together. 

"Missed that one. Father didn't want to go. He said too many magic folk in one area is asking for something diasterous to happen. Look what happened ! Heard Potter was found at the seen of the crime like -"She looked around to make sure Potter wasn't in ear shot. "-Always."

"That's what I heard too, My mum and I got out before the ruckus happened. Too bad you missed it, Viktooooor Krum was there. I know how you fancy him."

Harper blushed a deep read. Seemed like all the girls fancied him. A Bulgarian Quidditch player , who wouldn't ?She was deep in fantasizing when another fellow Slytherin walked up. His blonde hair and steel eyes caught Harper's amethyst eyes.
