As soon as we got the the castle we did the usual sit in the Great Hall and listen to Dumbledore give us some speech about light in dark times or whatever. The first years got sorted into their houses, me and Pandora always loved guessing which house they would be in, if one of us didn't get it right we would be pinched by the other. The others thought we were loony but it was fun for us.

After the welcoming feast we returned to our dorms and unpacked all of our belongings and got an early night so we were well-rested for the next day. Amber was missing, shock-horror, presumably at Regulus' door begging for him back. Little did she know he was in Umbridge's guts just hours earlier.

He should really get checked by a healer because that girl is all sorts of nasty.

The next day came by and I awoke well-rested with a good feeling about the day. I hopped out of bed and walked into the bathroom to get ready for the day. I was up far before anyone else which meant I had sole custody of the bathroom for the next half an hour at the least.

After I showered and brushed my teeth I applied some mascara and a bit of tinted dark red lipstick. A quick drying charm on my hair and I was almost ready for the day.

I walked back into the dorm as the other girls started to wake up. "Morninggg" I sang to them and they all groaned.

I started throwing objects at the three of them. "Alright, alright, we're up" Lil shouted, crossing her arms over her face to protect herself from the many flying objects.

I tied half of my hair back with a deep green bow. I pulled on my white fitted shirt, a skirt that was... altered... and continued to tie my house tie around my collar.

"You can not be serious with that skirt, Nad" Pandora half laughed and I shrugged my shoulders at her as I continued to fix my tie.

"McGonagall is going to have you in her office within two seconds if she sets her eyes on you" Amber scoffed.

"Yeah well maybe you should trying living a bit on the edge, maybe Regulus will pay you the attention you want" I rolled my eyes towards the mirror I was looking at myself in.

She didn't respond, she knew for a fact if she ended up in an argument with me that my sister would scare the living hell out of her. She was protective like that.

I pulled on some knee high black socks and some chunky platformed low heels, spritzed some cherry scented perfume and was happy with the way I looked. With a large smile I turned to my friends and shimmied my hands jokingly.

"Merlin, Nad, you're going to get yourself expelled, but you do look sexy" Pandora giggled and so did I.

We made our way down to the common room and instantly all eyes fell on me and anxiety started to rise. Within a second of walking in I could hear my sister shouting my name.

"Nadia, what in Merlin's name are you wearing!" She shout-whispered to me as she got close.

"Oh but it's okay for you to dress like this?" I furrowed my brows and she scoffed, crossing her arms. She knew I was right.

"It's different when it's my baby sister" She was furious, I could see it in her eyes.

I rolled my eyes and pushed past her and walked out of the common room after my friends and towards the Great Hall. Rows of delicious food spread over the four long tables and the smells were more than gorgeous.

Before I could sit down I heard my name being called, yet again. I turned to see McGonagall pointing a finger at me, motioning me to come towards her.

I rolled my eyes and walked towards the professors table in which she sat next to Slughorn.
