La Vie en Rose et en Gris

Chapter 1: Sixth-Year Start

Felicity walked through the wall to the crowded and loud platform 9 ¾. Her dark brown hair bounced with her step due to their natural waves. Over the holiday she'd grown into her body much better than the last years. She's also spent a heavy portion home in France so she'd been fighting with going back to all English. She was from France but was shipped to Hogwarts for the school year since it was a better school and she got in better there. She made friends and was able to express herself without the snobby girls' school.

Her ember eyes locked onto her friends and there was more bounce in the Ravenclaw's step. "James! Sirius, I've been looking for you!" She yelled catching up with the boys. She threw herself at Sirius and hugged the taller male tightly. She had missed the shaggy-haired flirt since he had been there for her when she first moved there her second year. "Ahhh you grew up Felicity! You're stunning," Sirius purred out hugging back.

She pulled away and pushed her hair back smiling at him and hugged James next. "Ah, how was summer? Better than before?" She asked the two knowing about what had been happening in the Black household from letters they boys had sent her. "Yeah, it was. How about you off in France again? Meet anyone~" James teased as they headed onto the train to meet with the other boys of their group. The comment had chased Felicity to roll her eyes since the others teased her but if she had they'd become the most protective people ever.

"Non, Je n'aime pas les garçons," She said jokingly before correcting herself in English even though the boys could usually get it, "no. I'm not interested in boys right now." They chuckled and nodded before slipping into their car with the other boys. Remus smiled and waved at Felicity before going back to his book and Peter did the same as well. They all relaxed for a bit and caught up calmly enjoying the calm before returning to classes and dealing with the boys pranking the pour students of the school. It was a norm though so she just accepted it and moved on with the boys letting them get into trouble if they so pleased.

After a while, she saw one of her best friends and got up. "Sorry boys but Lily just came by. I'll see you at school," she cooed waving before running after Lilly and linked arms. Lilly looked over half expecting James and was relieved to see the French girl. As they walked she smiled and pushed her red hair back. "Hey, Lici! How was holiday break?" He asked smiling as they walked through the train going to their car with Marlene and Alice.

Felicity sat down and started pushing her hair back, "it was fine. I missed Hogwarts though since this is home now." She smiled and started to fiddle with her sweater. The girls caught up and gossiped about the summer. Some students walked by and they'd catch their eye from time to time. It was simple until finally, Felicity's best friend walked by. The lion mane of hair was hard to miss. She poked her head in and grinned brightly.

"FELICITY! I've missed you girly!" She chirped making her way in to sit down. Her name was Angela, she was also a Ravenclaw sixth year. She was stunning with her deep chocolate skin and very curly hair bouncing at her shoulders. She really did catch the hearts of every person at Hogwarts when she walked. "I've missed you too mon ami!" Felicity cooed and leaned into her seat. They all talked, glad to be back in their company, and on their way to Hogwarts. It was going to be a new and exciting year.

Once the train arrived the teens unloaded heading to the castle. The beautiful castle still held so many wonders and mysteries that had Felicity captivated. As they walked into the great hall taking their palaces at their house tables they caught up with other housemates waiting for the incoming first years. "Mmm I can't wait for quidditch to start up again, I miss competing," Felicity told the other as they saw the young students filter in to get sorted. Angela nodded as she listened and her eyes scanned through the crowd looking for her younger brother Johnathan. Once she spotted the first year boy she waved at him making the other hide. Felicity snorted watching the interaction and cheered for the students as they were sorted into their own houses. Ravenclaw gaining a nice group of new students and welcoming them in, some students looked happier than others but that was to be expected.

Dinner started and they began to eat their dinners excitedly. "Ok, girl you gotta tell me if you met anyone this summer or have your eyes on anyone," Angela said grinning like the Cheshire cat. Felicity only rolled her eyes and looked over at her friend sighing, "non, I didn't find any cute boys and I don't have my eyes on anyone here, if I did James and Sirius would've jumped him by now." It was true, after her little heartbreak from an overly flirty Hufflepuff she hadn't engaged in any relationships romantically. Angela nodded and let the topic go and moved onto her school schedule through dinner before moving to head to their dorms for the evening.

On her way up to bed, she made eye contact for a brief moment with a tall Slytherin boy. His eyes were like icebergs so cold and beautiful; but hidings so much beneath the surface level. She hadn't meant to keep eye contact for so long so she quickly looked away and ran up to her dorm entrance with Angela trying to forget the cold stare.
