Lost in Blue

chapter one

"Stella!" I hear a voice call from behind me as I walk off the train.

I turn around and see the familiar blonde haired girl run and jump at me.

"Grace" I laugh as she almost topples me over, " I love the hair" I say referring to the emerald green colour at the under layer of her hair.

"I missed you! How was your summer?" She says as we link arms and follow the crowd to the carriages.

"It was good. Mum and I went to visit my aunt in Scotland. It was great" I tell her.

We giggle and gossip about our summer.

"I can't believe we already made it to our fourth year. How fast did that go" she says in awe as we make our way to the great hall table.

We sit down near the end of the table, avoiding most of our classmates at all costs.

I hear Pansy Parkinson, Goyle and Blaise chatting away as they take their seats a little bit farther down from us. I try to avoid that group for the soul purpose of Draco Malfoy.

He walks in with his blonde hair grown out from over the summer.

Him and I haven't really gotten along. We have been competing for the top of our house in marks since year 1. He is the complete opposite of me as well, cruel, cold and completely full of himself.

I quickly look away and turn to my friend before he can catch me looking at him.

Dumbledore silents the room.

"This year we will be hosting the triwizard tournament. Students from other schools will be joining us for the first term"

If on cue, a group of beautiful girls run in. I can see all the boys turn their heads while their eyes fall out of its sockets, and their jaws hitting the ground.

Behind them a group of large, older boys walk in. They all wear a matching red coat and a faux fur hat.

"Is that... Victor Krum?" Grace asks me.

I look over and sure enough the famous quidditch star marches in.

"Pathetic if you ask me" Malfoy says loudly, earning laughs from his group.

I give him an annoyed look and his eyes meet mine. He shoots me a glare and I look down.

The first three weeks of school goes by really fast.

The first task of the tournament starts on Friday. The cup pulled Fleur Delacour, Cedric Diggory, Victor Krum and to everyone surprise Harry Potter.

Apparently Dumbledore freaked out because Harry is underage and no one knows who put his name in the cup.

I walk down the hall by myself towards my charms class.

"Hey! Harry" I call out, the boy turns around and a smile forms across his face.

"Hey Stella!" He stops for me to catch up to him. We walk to class together and chat about the first task of the tournament.

Harry and I still stayed talking after we were sorted into different houses. I had many classes with him, Ron and Hermione over the years and I think they realized that I was definitely not like the rest of my house.

We walk into class and I take my usual seat. In between Draco and Blaise.

"Hello Stella" Blaise says, putting his books down beside me.

"Hello Blaise" I smile politely.

The last few weeks since the start of my fourth year I've had almost all my classes with Blaise. He was tall, handsome and charming. We went from not talking at all to saying hello and sitting beside each other in a class.
