Soulmates (Harry Potter AU) - DISCONTINUED

Chapter Five

[A/N - Yeah, so I changed Draco and Neville's tattoos. Draco now has a tattoo of a violin. Neville's got a tattoo of those twin theatre masks. I read to my sister and she looked at me as if she was regretting being my sister and suggested the violin and the masks. She's better at romance and stuff than I am. Enjoy, though. :3]

The next day, Kasumi woke up and went to the bathroom. She took a shower and changed into the school uniform: a white button up shirt with a green and silver tie and a black skirt. She wore the Hogwarts sweater vest on top and black leggings.

"Why?" She looked in the mirror. "Why is this skirt so short?"

Just to be safe, she wore shorts underneath.

She also applied makeup over her scars on her face.

"Just breathe," she brushed her hair. "Dear Kasumi, today is going to be a great day and here's why: because today, you are nowhere near the Mizuchi Estate. You are home. And... that's it."

She left the bathroom and grabbed her bag. She stuffed her textbooks in and turned to the door when it opened.

Malfoy walked through and stopped short when he saw Kasumi. He looked her up and down, turning red.

"Pervert." Kasumi muttered as she walked past him out of the door.

She went to the library and saw Harper and Hermione there. Hermione was reading a book and Harper was looking at her timetable.

"Hi," Kasumi said quietly as she approached their table.

"Hullo, Kasumi!" Harper exclaimed, getting a look from Madam Pince.

"Good morning, Kasumi. Did you eat breakfast yet?"

"I think I'll skip breakfast. I'll eat lunch."

"But you need food!" Hermione frowned.

"It's all right." Kasumi shook it off.

The bell rang.

"We'll see you at lunch!"

"Bye."

Kasumi walked to Professor Flitwick's class. As the bell rang, everyone stared at her as she walked in.

"Mizuchi?" Flitwick raised an eyebrow.

Kasumi nodded as she took a seat in the back.

"We have a seating chart." Flitwick said. "Over there, in front of Malfoy."

Kasumi stared at Malfoy from across the room. Everyone could feel the tension.

"Can I stay here?" Kasumi asked.

"No."

Kasumi sighed and walked herself to the seat in front of Malfoy. She sat down and took out her textbook and writing utensils.

"Alright class! As you all know, this is English. We study and learn grammar and how to write essays and analyze and all of that." Flitwick said. "But before I begin any lessons, I want to see where you stand in literature. So as your first assignment——"

Cue the groaning of most students.

"——you are to write an essay about your partner. Who they are, where they come from. You do not get to choose your partner——"

Cue more groans.

"Your partner is the person sitting in front of you. And by the way, this assignment is due next week on Monday."

Kasumi cursed under her breath. Of course. Lady Fate had to be a git and allow Malfoy to be Kasumi's partner.

"Professor, I refuse to be her partner." Malfoy raised his hand.
