I was running through the halls knocking over people and stumbling over my robes. Down the stairs, through another hall, down another set of stairs and choked out the password to the common room. I bolted up the stairs and through the door to my dorm throwing off my shoes and jumping in bed.
My girlfriend for almost a year had broken up with me. I blamed myself for everything. I laid in the bed for what seemed like hours before my only dorm mate walked in and sat on my bed.
I groaned, rubbed my face and scratched out "what do you want.., Kota..." I layed on my back sprawled out. He was two years ahead of me, being in his fourth year and me in my second.
He lightly rubbed my stomach and sad blue hair. He then transfigured some tissues from a box. "Hunny... I'm sorry about Landon."
I stayed silent and hugged around his waist. "I'm sorry for being so pathetic-"
"Acer Elijah Snape, don't you dare say anything more. You feel the way you do because that stuck up Ravenclaw broke your heart. You truly loved her yet she played you. I'm half in mind to lay curses all around the school." The firey and pissed off Slytherin yelled next to me.
I smiled half-heartedly and sat up. He grinned. "Let's go to the Great Hall for dinner. Sit with me?" His eyes sparkled. I smile and nod. He grabbed my wrist and dragged me out of the room. When we got to the common room I saw a fellow friend of mine, Draco. So far, the Boy who lived had survived a Basilisk, Professor Lupin, and Severuses hilarious antics. See, Severus is my older brother. (He's 38 when he dies in book 7. But I want to make him younger like, 20's to early 30's making him a teen ((so if he's 25 and Ace is 13 then Ace would have been born when he was 12))when Ace is born.) Even though he's a Professor he still had me live in the dorms to make friends. I had met Kota when he confronted me up on the stool of my first year.
The hat had a hard time deciding because of me being a metamorphmagus and the younger brother of Severus, but ultimately placed me in Slytherin. My brother actually cracked a smile on his stone cold face. As I started down the stage Kota had run up and threw an arm around my shoulders. As he did this I felt two pairs of eyes boring into my head. Both for two different reasons. The Boy who lived, at a table to the left, was glaring at my stoic expression and gritting his teeth in hatred.
The other, however, was staring at me in admiration and a glint of something else. That person had short purple hair green eyes and a blue cloak. I later learned that her name was Landon. I ended up liking her and asked her out in the First year. She had said yes but a year later she ended up breaking the one thing that shouldn't be broken. A heart. My brother took every opportunity to take points from her, leading to her hating me and spreading rumors. Kota and Draco used any chance they could to make Landon's school life miserable.
One thing that hadn't changed since the first year, was Harry Potters hatred for me. I had learned later why. My brothers best friend and person he loved, Lilly, had died to protect Harry from The Dark Lord. Because of that Severus hated the boy. I had heard from Hermione, my study partner, and book carrier Ron, that the feeling was mutual between the two boys. But they had no clue as to why Harry hated me too.
I sighed when we got to the Great hall sliding into our seats. After a couple seconds someone plopped down next to me sliding an arm around my shoulder and groaning. "Draco I can smell the sheer amount of hair gell you have." I scrunch my nose and shove him away because of the bad smell.
"Well excuse me for being fashionable." He flicks his cloak back dramatically and I roll my eyes. He notices and scoffs playfully "At least I'm not breaking dress code." He glanced down at my black dress shirt and baggy ripped jeans, a chain hanging from the right side.
"Well excuse me for being different. The only 'fashional' vibe I'm getting from you is a gay vibe. And trust me. I know." I smirked and my hair flashed rainbow. I snickered at his shocked red face and started eating. Ignoring the still sympathetic stares from the Hufflepuffs and a few nicer Gryffindors like Hermione, Ron, Neville and surprisingly Oliver Wood. I shrugged them off with a smile and an 'Its fine, I'm ok"
At the end of dinner, I turned to see a snoozing Kota. I looked at Draco. "Put him on my back so I can carry him to our dorm." He nodded and carefully picked Kota up and placed him on my back. I hooked my hands under his butt and locked his arms around my neck and headed off to the dorms.
On the way there I heard a voice I used to love to hear. laughing. I cringed as i felt my hair turn blue again and walked faster. I burst through the doors and ran to the dorms with Kota. When I got to the dungeons I was a panting mess and had to wait for a few minutes to catch my breath to say the password. Once I did I walked to our dorm and laid the now koala Kota onto his bed. But he wouldn't let me go. I sweatdropped and tried to pry the sleeping mans arms away carefully, trying not to wake him up. He just groaned and snuggled closer.
I shook my head and laid down on his bed giving up. I looked over my shoulder and saw the innocent face of Kota cuddled into my shoulder. I smiled and closed my eyes.
Images of my brother, Draco, Kota and a few other friends. Thankfully the all allusive Ravenclaw was not in them.
At that thought, my mind wandered to the day she had broken up with me.
I had tried to meet up with her but she had come with someone holding her waist whispering in her ear. She saw me and smirked. At that moment my hair turned black in sheer terror. "So its the fuck up Half-Blood." She sneered after seeing my expression. She took steps forward and punched me in the face, making me stumble back. The guy stepped forward and mumbled "Crucio". I screamed out in pain, it had felt like there was millions of shards of glass burying themselves in my skin. I hadn't realized that I had passed out until I had reawakened in the infirmary with my brother looking at me frantically.
I smirked weekly."Your nose will grow if you look at me like that."
He chuckled and placed a hand on my head. He had taken care of me when mum and Pa died.
Kota Burst into the door pissed but his gaze softened when he saw me awake. HAe ran over to my bed and touched my cheek seeing the bruise that was left. "Who did this."
I closed my eyes and shook my head, my hair turning blue yet again. " I can't say."
My Brother narrowed his eyes and his face hardened. "It was Landon."
I cringed and looked away.
I heard the swish of robes to my left as Severus stood up and started out of the room. "Severus. wait-"
He held up his hand and cut me off. "Any student that hurts another student had to be punished. this is no exception." He started walking again and shut the big door behind him.
All I could do was sit back and sigh. Kota grabbed my hand and sat down in the place where Severus was sitting just moments before. He was about to speak when I was jarred from my thoughts from someone hugging me close. I shook my head and looked over.
Kota.
I had turned over and there was Kota. The small fourth year. Cuddled into me like a little child.
I smiled and ran my fingers through his hair. Slowly falling asleep.
