Aquila,
I adore you, darling

September 1st, 1995

Staring into the dark walls that surrounded her, she sat in her bed thinking of absolute nothingness. She didn't know if she was finally at peace, or if she was still being consumed by her negative thoughts. It was just quiet. She stood up from her dark green sheeted bed and walked up to her dorm closet to get ready for the day. After the young teenage girl put on her black and green robe, she walked up to her mirror and brushed her long wavy brown hair. Her hair quickly untangled. She grabbed her black notebook on her desk and left the Slytherin dorm room, walking towards the common room to start her first day of the 5th year.

"Blaise", she greeted the tan boy at the entrance of the common room. The common room was dungeon looking like, filled with green lamps and chairs. Through the windows, you could see part of the lake and different creatures. It was dark, it had a shadowy vibe that seemed to comfort the other Slytherins. They felt most at peace and understood in that room. Many people thought badly of Aquila. They thought of her as an arrogant wealthy pureblood who hid behind her shadows. She was aware of people's thoughts about her, but she was relieved that people didn't know what she truly needed to hide the most. Aquila came from a privileged family. The Pheonix's, the great and wealthy Slytherin pureblood family. After Draco, Crabbe, and Goyle arrived, they went off to the Great Hall for the start of the year feast. As she walked towards the Great Hall while talking to Draco, she bumped into someone.

"Oh for the love of Salazar watch where you're going you imbecile!", Aquila exclaimed as she wiped her robe even though there was nothing on it. She looked up and she locked eyes with dark brown eyes with a tint of light. Hair of a fiery red that looks like it will burn you to the touch. He was tall, he towered over her.

"Oh, it's a Weasley, "Draco said with a mean and threatening voice. Fred shifted his gaze from Roxanna's brown eyes and looked at Draco's cold ones. He narrowed his eyes at him and closed his fists trying to contain himself.

"Tell me Malfoy, is it true you got turned into a ferret a few years ago?", Fred asked with a grin on his face. Aquila chuckled earning a dirty look from Draco. The redhead looked at her and gave her a shy smile. Draco just huffed and walked away pushing Fred's shoulder. The rest of the group followed except Aquila. They stared into each other eyes for a couple more seconds until Aquila broke the silence and said,

"Watch where you're going next time Weasely", and walked away leaving the boy in the middle of the hallway processing what happened. All of a sudden, Fred felt someone run towards him and grab his shoulders to turn him around.

"Did Aquila Hydra Pheonix just talk to you?!", George, Fred's twin questioned with an excited voice. Fred nodded his head fastly and George had his eyes wide open. Fred explained how she talked to him because he didn't really talk to her... he just looked at her. Both the twins thought Aquila was one of the most gorgeous girls at Hogwarts. They loved how her brown hair looked against her pale skin. How it flowed like waves below her shoulders. How her eyes were an earthy brown that they could see a shade of light inside them, yet they were so mysterious.

"I also wish to welcome our Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, Professor Dolores Umbridge.", Professor Dumbledore welcomed the lady dressed in bright pink. As he continued with his speech, the lady in pink stood up and interrupted Dumbledor. Everyone looked at her in disgrace.

"Thank you, headmaster, for those kind words of welcome. And how lovely, to see all your bright and happy faces smiling up to me". The women they called Professor Umbridge stated. Aquila glared at her and rolled her eyes. She looked around and no one, absolutely no one was smiling towards the disturbing looking lady in front of them.

"I am sure we will all become very good friends.", Professor Umbridge said.

"I' de like to see that happen", Aquila joked as her friends at the Slytherin table chuckled. She looked at the woman who was making a huge fool of herself. Once Professor Umbridge finished her speech about perfectionism and prohibiting practices, people realized that the ministry was interfering with Hogwarts. Everyone clapped with the guidance of Dumbledore. Most people at Hogwarts were still off about the death of Cedric Diggory and Harry Potters's claims of seeing 'You Know Who'. Aquila believed him, she always knew things were off, she just had trouble admitting it. Once everyone ate and the feast was over, everyone went back to their common rooms. Aquila decided to go up to her dorm since it was late. Aquila was one of the few to have individual dorms, she was privileged, to say the least. When she entered her dorm, she changed into her black shirt and sweatpants and covered herself in the warmth of her blanket on her bed. As she drifted off, she thought of all the new possibilities for the new school year filling her with a feeling of excitement and nervousness.
