As the World Caves In

Start for The Breakdown

    Skye

       After the little morning chat with mom and dad I gather all my luggages from my room and bring them down to the living room so our house elf can put them in our car. While I'm sitting in the car waiting for my parents I play with Asmo and for a minute everyting seems normal until my dad sits in the drivers seat and my mood changes. The car ride to the train station is quite, you can cut the tension between me and my dad but we don't talk about our feelings in this family, our motto is: blood comes first, but that doesn't mean that we love our family it means that I can only be friends with purebloods which is stupid and I don't agree with it. But for the sake of keeping up the peaceful family facade I pretend that I think like that too. I glance over to my brother (Alik), who's my parents pride because he did them proud and became a death eater. That's kinda the reason my dad hates me and Draco because his little attempt to make me You-Know-Who's follower didn't work. I'm honestly fine with it I dont like dad a whole lot and I'm not scared of He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named.

     As soon as we get to the station I quickly get out of the car, put Asmo on my neck, give my mom a hug and say "See you on Christmas break." she nods and smiles at me. Alik and I head to the 9 and 3/4 platform and arrive at the train that takes us to Hogwarts. I see the Weasleys so I quickly go up to them and say hi. Ginny hugs me and says: "I've missed you so much this summer, I had to hang out with these idiots" she points to Fred And George, I lightly chuckle and smile at the twins. "Oh mom also made you a sweater, don't ask me why she makes these in the summer too, just take it." she gives me a dark green sweater with a gray S embroidered. "Aww thank you so much, I'll write Mrs. Weasley a thank you letter as soon as we get to Hogwarts". With my glance I try to find Draco, Ginny notices and says: "Looking for slytherin boy, huh?". I answer being caught off guard: "What no I..." Ginny chuckles and says: "It's okay, he already got on the train, go, we'll catch up later." I say goodbye to them and get on the train. 

       I see gryffindors, ravenclaws and finally slytherins: Alik with his friends. I go further and I see Draco with Blaise and Adrian. Before I sit down next to Draco I flip him off as a greetings but when I sit down I get revenge: he tries pushing me off the seat but I grab his hand so he couldn't. As I pull myself back up I smile at him. "Where the fuck were you?" he asks. "Woah calm down I was catching up with my friends, Dray" I answered. "Yeah right the weasels huh, I don't understand why you like them" he scoffed. "Oh shut up Malfoy, you're not all there is" I strike back while Asmo's going around my fingers.  Blaise snickered. The train departs. "Anyways did you guys practice any quidditch?" I ask as I am the captain of the team. "Yes ma'am" Adrian answers instantly and smirks at me. "Stop with the flirting Pucey or I'll throw you off the train" Dray says. "I wanna see you try" says Adrian as he stands up while puffin his chest. "Boys if you don't stop I swear I'll transfer schools or I'll just sit with the Weasleys." I say while getting up from my seat but Draco grabs my wrist and turns to me "You should think that over"he glares at me so I sit down and he lets go off my wrist "Fiine, you dummy" I say as he looks bitter.

      For most of the train ride we just talked about annoying teachers and how gryffindor's gonna win the house cup again for some lame excuse. The train slowly stops and we start getting off it. I see Fred and George getting off so I wave to them and I'm taken aback when they start running directly to me, I say: "Omg no, Dray hide me, fuck it's too late." Draco tries getting in front of me but Fred tackles him and George picks me up and spins me around: "Hi princess, I missed you" George says lovingly while putting me down at the same time I can hear Dray cussing because Fred confronted him. Fred shouts from a small distance (like 2 meters from me): "I missed you more silly!" as he comes closer and puches me in the arm. "It's good to see you guys too, shouldn't you get back to gryffindor now tho?" I say to them as i point to the angry slytherins with my eyes. "If you don't wanna have fun fine, we'll go, leave you with these mind-numbing idiots" says Fred. I quickly say: "Okaay, that's enough guys it was great seeing you, bye-bye" and I start pushing them away but I can see their piercing eyes looking at the slytherins. I turn to Draco and say: "I'm sorry Dray, they're just a lot." "Yeah cause there's two of them, jesus Skye they're weirdos." he says angrily. "I can't deal with you being a jealous little baby" I say to him and turn around to go talk to Blaise.

    First we go to the great hall to watch the 1st years get sorted into houses and then eat dinner. I sit next to Dray and annoying Pansy who's jealous of me because I'm good friends with Draco despite of how we act in public. There are some new comers to slytherin but most of the kids get sorted into hufflepuff or gryffindor. I see my brother sitting across the table talking with his friends, he looks happy, could it be that he's bragging about having the dark mark or is that not what he wanted and just did it because our parents wanted him to do it. I could never read my brother's emotions or intentions, one thing I know about him for sure is that he cares about me, deeply. I look at the teachers desk and notice that Snape is glaring at me. Weird I think but he might be just looking at the slytherin table because he's our headmaster.

     After the sorting we get to the slytherin dungeons, I go up to the dorms and unpack my clothes, books and I set up a little place for Asmo. But since it's only 9pm I go back to the common room to hang out with the guys. I see Blaise in a sofa with his legs up and Draco on the couch so I go and lay my head on his lap and put my legs on the remaining parts of the couch so that no one else can sit there. "Did you guys hear about that guy who invented a new potion that can make you lose weight but he messed something up and now he's floating in the clouds?" Blaise says and we all start laughing, I missed being around these dorks I ponder as Dray plays with my hair. He only let's his guards down when it's just the two of us or three (counting Blaise).
