     The red steam engine pulled up to the station, I was early as always. How ironic it was that the headmaster of this filthy school was a bloody Gryffindor, and the train we took was oh what do you know, red. I flung my trunk at the man loading the train, he caught it with shaky hands. I walked past all the empty compartments finally coming across the familiar compartment at the back. I stepped in pulling off the small backpack I had on, I slipped on my muggle headphones playing some music.

        Soon enough Lyra and Draco eventually showed up, along with Pansy who was clutching on to Draco's arm basically hanging off of him. He shook her off and took a seat opposite me, Lyra next to him and Pansy next to me. I pulled off my headphones and the noises of the now busy train filled my ears.

         "I still don't understand how you use those filthy muggle contraptions"

          "Trust me cousin, neither do I," sighed, "their music is the one thing that is actually good."

          Time passed and we were fairly silent for the most part. I listened to my music all ready missing the comfort of my room at the manor and the echoing screams that filled the house. I was lost in my thoughts till I saw pansy's black hair in front of me, waving her hands frantically. I pulled off the headphones.

          "Oh stop blubbering you bloody fool," she rolled her eyes we grabbed our bags and walked off. I could hear Draco telling Ly that he would catch up. I rolled my eyes and stood outside the train waiting for Draco to exit the train. I saw the curtains all slam down, great he just had to be dramatic for his boyfriend. A couple of minutes later D walked off the train.

          "You done being dramatic now?" I questioned he said nothing. "Sooo how's our little saviour boy?" he snickered,

          "on his way back to London." I cackled as we approached the gates.

          "Names?" the short professor Flitwick asked us.

           "Andromeda Black," I said bored.

          "Draco Malfoy," D copied my bored tone. We next passed our bags to filch

         "Ugh, what has this place come to," I whispered he snickered.

         "Now what's this?" filch questioned rummaging through my bag. Shit, he had found my compartment. This was bad to say the least, this pocket was full of an assortment of weapons from blades to deadly potions.

          "I. can vouch for Miss Black and Mister Malfoy," our godfather was now stood behind us. I smirked ripping my trunk out of filch's hands.

          "Get your hands off my stuff you filthy squib," I hissed at him. I stormed inside my heels clicking against the stone floors. I stowed my trunk with the others and walked into the great hall. Taking a seat next to Pansy, Draco and Lyra across from us. I only ate dessert. What!? I like cheesecake!

          After Ly, Pansy and I headed to our dorm I sat on my bed pulling up my trunk and emptying all my supplies, pulling out an arsenal of varying blades and 14 bottles of poisons and rare potions supplies I had picked out at borgin and burkes. Ly and Pansy starred at me, eyebrows raised.

          "What the bloody fuck are you looking at!?" they both chuckled. I set all the bottles on my shelves next to my dark arts and advanced potions books, I shoved all the blades in my black dresser drawer. Soon enough I was drifting to sleep, in my uncomfortable bed.

          Sleep was a fickle thing, it was either peaceful, a time of rest, or if you were like me it was the time of fear. Dark memories and thoughts penetrated my mind.
