I'll Save You Harper, That I Solemnly Swear

Unforgivable Curses

Harper woke up to the sounds of Pansy Parkinson snoring the next morning. It was an hour before she had set her alarm to go off so, naturally Harper was pretty annoyed. She had forgotten how much Pansy snored.

Trying to snuff out the sound Harper wrapped her pillow around her ear. But sadly no matter how much she tried Pansy's snores grew louder and more annoying.

"Blimey woman how can you make such a ungodly sound."Harper tossed her pillow at Pansy, who stopped snoring.Romeo, her cat stretched and glanced up at her , wondering why she had moved so violently. 

Harper thought she was about to go back to sleep , but Pansy started up snoring again. Pulling on her hair and rolling her eyes Harper got up and collected her school robes. She figured if she wasn't going to sleep anymore , she'd just get ready for the day. 

The great hall still had a gloomy feeling when she walked into it .The ceiling was covered in dark grey clouds and there was a bit of a chill. Harper looked around to see if anyone she knew had come down early too , but to disliking only Malfoy and his band of idiots were sitting at the Slytherin table. Wanting to avoid the early small talk she sat all the way in the back by the doors. 

Malfoy had noticed her at the end of the table though and moved down to her.He sat directly across from her and smirked when he saw that Harper was trying to hide her face with a book. 

"I know you aren't reading this early in the morning."Draco took the book from her and looked at the cover. Pretending to be interested.

"How would you know. I actually love to read Draco. I mean I did read all those letters you sent"

He smirked and leaned forward grabbing a piece of toast off of the platter in front of Harper and holding her book on his other hand .

It wasn't that she hated Draco it was just his arrogance annoyed her more than anything. Her family was considered "higher" wizarding status,but she hated to boast and brag about it like the Malfoy's did. However she did have a secret that not many knew about. She was half Veela and witch. 

Veela are half human magical beings. The tend to have white hair and are extremely beautiful.They use their beauty and dance as a seduction to make men and women do what they please. It was speculated that they could even throw fire. Harper was finally developing into her looks Unlike most veela women her hair was a silver, and her eyes were a deep amethyst.Her father had told her to keep her blood lineage a secret , due to the fact stealing a hair off a veela's hair kills them ,and that man had already lost so much. 

"Oi, Harper!"Blaise sat next to her and slid closer on the bench. 'How is my favorite witch this morning?"

"Tired, Pansy woke me up with her obnoxious snoring."Harper rubbed her temples and leaned her head on Zabini. 

"I was not that loud."Pansy walked up obviously eavesdropping on the conversation.

They all sat down and had breakfast while more students came to the great hall.Halfway through her porridge Fred and his twin walked through the doors catching Harper's eye. She watched as they laughed and whispered to each other. Her heart began to beat fast every time she saw his smile.

"Ahem, Winters."The potions professor stood behind her and dropped her schedule onto the table. She snapped back into reality and looked at the parchment paper below. 

"Double Potions!!!"Harper groaned. She hated this course more than anything. Mainly because Professor Snape was a real snore."Wait I didn't sign up for divination.I wanted study of ancient runes  and muggle studies! They messed my year all up!" Harper screeched.
