Thread: Hogwarts Horror Stories. (Malin & Darkangel76)

Felicity was lost in thought as she looked into Simon's eyes. Truly the train ride back to school had turned into something much more than she'd ever expected or could have hoped for. She felt a strange flutter in her tummy as she looked into his eyes, taking note of how the light reflected off the flecks of green that resided there. He looked almost angelic with his fair features staring back at her, a kind face and warm smile. She blushed yet again despite herself, her eyes flitting from his eyes down to his mouth. She licked her lips just then and began to twist furiously at her hair. Just then the whistle suddenly sounded breaking her from her reverie. Biting down on her lower lip, she let out a tiny giggle. It wasn't long before Felicity changed into her Ravenclaw uniform, her rumpled robe slung about her shoulders in a disheveled manner. But no matter, they were hers and they were warm. Until later, she said to Simon before finally leaving the platform as they went to return to the school, the castle looming in the distance. Fortunately, they were all able to travel under the cover of the wagons. It was a pity the storm was so terrible this year, causing changes in what had been the most beloved of traditions. She heaved a heavy sigh as she watched even the 'first years' get escorted to their own special wagons since travel over the lake was nigh impossible as the thunder roared and the lightning cracked and flashed across the dark sky. Once inside and at the Ravenclaw table, Felicity felt that strange sense of belonging wash over her. She didn't really have many friends at school, but there was that feeling of finally being in a place where she was with others who were similar, who could understand what it was like to be her. For some reason that gave her comfort even if very few gave her the time of day. But it hardly mattered. She had her classes to look forward to and... She turned to glance over at the Slytherin table, her stormy eyes finding Simon amongst the crowd without too much effortshe'd be able to notice him anywhere nowand smiled. For a brief moment she swore that their eyes locked. Sucking in a sharp breath, she bit down on her lip and blushed, her hands going to work to fill her plate with something to eat. Across the way, Andromeda Sheppley eyed her housemate, her fiery hair as red as the flames she felt seething against her face as she watched Felicity, that no good mudblood making eyes at one of their own. The nerve. Andie didn't know Simon well, but she'd had a class with him the year before. One thing she did know was that he was a pure-blood and that was enough for her to find him rather attractive. So, Felicity, Andie began. Rumor has it that you were late getting to the train. Something about a flat tire? The witch giggled as she pushed at her fiery tresses. Honestly, traveling in such a beastly manner, she added with a disapproving huff. It's a wonder you ever make it here year after year. Felicity blushed a little and bit into a roll. She chewed and swallowed it down and shrugged. I hardly notice it, Andromeda, she said flatly. Just then a blonde girl Melinda Evercreech paraded down the hall and made her way to her seat at the Gryffindor table, a small entourage following her. She scowled as if annoyed, but it was clear that she was loving the attention despite her actions. Here, the blonde said pushing up her glasses and then dropping her robes on a random 'first year'. You can put these... somewhere. Yes, Melinda. Whatever you say. And so the evening wore on. Felicity was more than grateful when she was able to finally head up toward the Astronomy Tower where the Ravenclaw dorms wereaway from the hustle and bustle, away from it all. As she finally got into bed and felt her eyes slowly closing, her last thoughts were about Simon and the class they'd be sharing the next day. She also wondered if they'd get a chance to see each other at any other times between classes. Blushing... drifting... she figured only she could be so lucky.
