				Auberon Peverell had finally turned 16 this year, and that meant it was time to begin his studies at Hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry. Having come from a very ancient family gave him a type of blood status many wished they had, it also gave him more money than even god could spend so when he went to Diagon alley to shop he bought the best of everything he needed and by the best he meant the best not the most expensive but before he could buy he had to go to gringotts bank which was always a pleasure, Griphook was his family's accountant and Auberon always greeting the goblin with respect and a greeting wishing the goblin much success in money. Very few goblins were treated as equals by wizards so when ever he came to visit the goblins were always smiling.<br><br>When he was granted his wand he was quite happy with it, he could feel his power increasing as he held it, those from 11 to 15 had wands that allowed only a very limited amount of magic to be used so to feel his full power for the first time was nearly perfect for the young wizard. Then he got to the books for the school year which caused Auberon laughed softly, he could easily study and finish these in a month or two, so he also bought any book that interested him at the time, advanced potions, dueling styles and spells, and anything that would advance his arsenal of spells. One thing he knew was the more spells a wizard or witch knew the less likely they were to die in a fight.<br><br>Once the shopping was done, all the items put into a trunk that was custom made with a growing/shrinking charm, stability charm, a sticky charm, a featherweight charm, expansion charm and a warding charm. Inside the trunk was a library, recently stocked with the books he had bought, a dueling arena, a potions lab, kitchen, bedroom with a bathroom, storage rooms for brooms and the like, a sitting room/dining room with a fireplace and floo powder nearby. From a jeweler he bought a box of silver rings with a strong repelling curse charm on them, the charm would send any jinx or curse back at the caster, they were only good for 2 or 3 curses before they stopped working which is why he bought about 2 dozen of them. <br><br>After all his new items were in their proper place in his trunk he shrunk it and placed it in his pocket, soon it would be time to get to the platform. unlike the old days kids were told how to get on the platform before going to the place themselves, some tutors who favored their pupils would send them off for their last meeting, Auberon's tutor&nbsp; did not and he didn't blame the fellow not after he accidentally turned the man's shoes into womens high heels after the man told his parents that Auberon had stolen some sweets. <br><br>The Hogwarts express was just as impressive as he thought it would be, young witches and wizards were walking around and talking to new friends. This was going to be a fun school year, only a few would know him and this was a great chance to find some loyal friends but first he wanted a good room for himself. boarding the train while everyone else was loading their trunks was a piece of cake for the young man, he went to the middle of the train and choose a empty room and sat down, leaving the door unlocked and wondered who would try to enter and talk to him. the stage had been set and all he needed were a few people to play their parts.

				<div class="floatleft">(http://i463.photobucket.com/albums/qq355/h2hamblen/Raven_1.jpg) (http://s463.photobucket.com/user/h2hamblen/media/Raven_1.jpg.html)</div>Tatiana Kelmyr was so excited when she finally turned 16 and received her letter to Hogwarts. She had been in tutoring since she was 11 and now she was finally able to go to the school of Witchcraft and Wizardry and learn all about magic and how to use it. Tatiana was the first in her family to get magical abilities. She had been reading about witches and wizards since she was able to read. She had hoped and prayed that such a world had existed and that she was part of it and then things began to happen. Unexplainable things, like making vegetables disappear from her plate without her doing anything to them, and making something she thought of in her mind as needing and it floating over to her. It concerned her parents and because of it they home schooled her kept her away from people. Tatiana barely ever went outside until she was 11 and got the letter from Hogwarts explaining it all. She got the tutor and got her magic under control. She was able to go outside, but she didn't make any friends. The damage was done. She was the weird girl that never came outside or anything. <br><br>So, now she was going to Hogwarts and she was going to around others like herself. She could not wait. She went with her tutor and parents to Diagon Alley and bought all the things she was going to need for school. Her familiar was a black cat that she named Luna. She packed all her stuff in a trunk and headed to the train station. She said goodbye to her parents before going onto the nine and three quarters platform. She went onto the platform and looked around as she pushed the trolley. She put her stuff with the other stuff to be loaded onto the train. She looked to Luna, who followed her without trouble. <br><br>She looked around at all the other students and their parents and how her parents had been too nervous to go onto the platform with her. She sighed and boarded the train. She looked around at the others when one boy and his friends looked at her. "Oh lookie here. A mudblood." He stated with disgust. Tatiana blinked, "What is a mudblood?" She asked. The boy smirked, "Oh wow... she doesn't even know what a mudblood is. How stupid is she?" The boy and his friends laughed. <br><br>Tatiana sighed before turning to walk off. She went into another car with private rooms. They followed her and began to shove at her back, "Hey! Stop it! Leave me alone!" She yelled back at them. They laughed, "Filthy stupid mudblood." They yelled after her as they shoved her again, harder this time.

				<div class="floatleft">(https://s31.postimg.org/q816jc91n/Cassiopeia_Malfoy.jpg)</div>Cassiopeia reached slowly for her last set of robes, already folded neatly, and placed them on top of the stack already inside her trunk. She noticed as she dropped her ties in afterwards that her school trunk started out neatly packed with school books on one end and all of her clothes on the other, folded and stacked. She also knew that when her first year at Hogwarts was completed and she was home at Malfoy manor again that there would be no neatness or organization to her trunk at all.<br><br>Shaking her head, she lowered the lid to her trunk and pushed down on it until she heard the metallic snick that secured the trunk closed. Immediately afterwards, her snake, Hydra, slithered up the side of the trunk and curled up, his tongue sneaking out and tasting the air curiously. He was only twelve inches long and bright blue. Hydra was also extremely affectionate, especially for a snake. Julia laughed and gave the lean, scaly body a long pet, stroking a single finger down the length of Hydra’s body. The blue snake curled up and stretched out slowly, gently tasting Cassiopeia’s skin.<br><br>“Travel time, Hydra,” the blonde teen said affectionately. “It’s finally time to go to Hogwarts. We’ve waited years for this.” Dark eyes stared up at her, a soft hiss reaching her ears. “Yes, Hydra. That means we’re finally leaving this manor and getting out into the world for a while.” With that, Cassiopeia picked the small snake up and placed him near her neck, where he curled into her collar and settled easily, used to his mode of transportation.<br><br>“Are you as ready as I am, Hydra?” Cassiopeia asked, reaching up and petting the lithe snake through her collar, “It feels like forever since we’ve been outside this manor.” In truth, it’d been six months since her father took both Scorpius and herself to Diagon Alley for school supplies, combining their trip so that he wouldn’t have to take Cassiopeia again in the future. With the senior Malfoy, the less his children went out in public, the safer they would be. To Cassiopeia, it was a way to keep her jailed up in her own home that much more, but no longer. Even Draco Malfoy couldn’t turn down a Hogwarts acceptance letter, not even to protect his children.<br><br>“Speaking to your scaly friend, again, Cassiopeia?” The voice was cool and cultured, belonging to a blond man that looked much like his younger child.<br><br>“Father.” Cassiopeia lowered her hand from her familiar, smiling sheepishly. “It’s not my fault you bought me the smartest snake at the shop.”<br><br>The tall, lean man walked into the room, and with long fingers and a gentle grasp, placed a hand on Cassiopeia’s shoulder, over the snake curled against the girl’s warmth. The snake shifted a bit, hissing quietly, but didn’t crawl out of the fabric to greet the older man.<br><br>“I only picked out the one most similar in temperament to you, Cassiopeia,” her father said, brushing his fingers through the long blonde hair of his daughter, “the one best suited to you.”<br><br>“Yes, I know,” Cassiopeia said, leaning lightly into her father’s touch. He wasn’t the most physically affectionate man, but when he did reach out, Cassiopeia was always receptive to it. “We both know that Mother always used to say that I inherited two things from you: your eyes and your obstinacy.”<br><br>Draco adopted an offended look. “And your mother’s lack of tact.” They stared one another down for several long seconds before giving into soft laughter, two pairs of identical grey eyes sparkling merrily.<br><br>Taking a slow breath, Draco calmed himself and smoothed nonexistent wrinkles from his expensive tailored robe set. “I only came up to tell you that it was time to leave. You’ll miss the train, otherwise.”<br><br>“I can go alone, you know, Father,” Cassiopeia said.<br><br>“You know I won’t let you do that.”<br><br>“Yes, but I’m sixteen. I can do this alone. It’s not as though I haven’t gone through the routine twice a year for the past two, since Scorpius started and you made me tag along.” The teen quickly grabbed her white-blonde hair, and with an efficiency born of practice, separated it into three sections and quickly twisted it into a braid that fell over her shoulder and brushed lightly against the bottom of her breast.<br><br>“I know,” her father responded, kissing Cassiopeia’s forehead. “It’s just that it's your first year. You’re only starting out. See you at Christmas?"<br><br>“Of course, Father.” Cassiopeia replied, wrapping her arms around the man and squeezing lightly. “Merlin forbid I miss our annual party.”<br><br>“Exactly.” The older man responded, “You’re the host this year, after all.” Draco stepped back and strode from the room without another word.<br><br>Cassiaopeia watched him go, a small smile on her face. She knew that in the face of showing vulnerability, her father had chosen instead to leave, rather than showing his daughter a cold, unfeeling pureblood mask. It was a mask that Cassiopeia had learned well from her father, a mask essential to survive in a society that disdained them at best and despised them at worst. <br><br>She shook the disquiet off and reached for her trunk. She grabbed it by one of the handles and drug it off the bed, letting it thump to the ground loudly. The teen dragged the heavy trunk towards the stairs, and made it halfway down them before a house-elf apparated in front of her, gave her a disapproving glare, and disapparated with her trunk, all in the space of a few seconds. <br><br>Cassiopeia sighed easily, shaking her head and continuing down the staircase and towards the main fireplace in her father’s study. She would use the floor system to make her way to Platform 9 ¾. The Platform had a row of fireplaces used mainly by the pureblood families to make their way to the train station. Too much magical traffic through the muggle area of King’s Cross would cause suspicion, after all.<br>When she flooed onto the platform, Cassiopeia headed straight for the train, not late, but cutting it close. She knew that at this point, there would be no point in trying to find an empty compartment, so she settled for trying to find that wasn’t holding people giving her death stares. She had dropped her luggage off at the back of the train, and was now only carrying Hydra with her as she maneuvered her way around the other students on the train trying to find compartments as well. She quickly found one with two other students in it, but as soon as she sat down, the boy and girl gave her a disgusted look, one filled with hate and fear, and stalked out of the compartment.<br><br>“Well,” Cassiopeia sighed, “At least I have an empty compartment now. . .”

				Auberon looked up from his spell book when a couple of guys entered his compartment, when the one who was clearly the leader looked at him Auberon saw the light shine in his eyes and Auberon rolled his own, this guy was probably thinking he found another minion. The boy, the only way Auberon would think of this thing in front of him, held out his hand and said <strong>"My name is Alious, you will have the pleasure of sharing a compartment with me."</strong> <br><br>To which Auberon said <strong>"Yeah I would rather share a bed with a troll and judging by your face your father suffers that fate already."</strong> Alious snarled and drew his wand but he was far too slow for Auberon who had his wand up his sleeve and with a minor blasting curse, barely any power, the punk ass half troll was sent flying out the door and into the compartment across the way from his own. A second curse gave the minion the same fate.<br><br>All conversion in the hall stopped as Auberon stepped out of his compartment and with three wand movements he had closed, locked and silenced the room with Alious. turning he saw a slight little thing with blue streaks in her hair, and it was clear the people behind her were bullying her by the way her shoulders were hunched while she and the rest stood there frozen. Auberon placed his wand in his belt and bowed to the blue haired girl <strong>"Greetings, I am Auberon Peverell. It would be a pleasure to have to join me in my compartment miss blue hair."</strong> <br><br>When he rose to his full height he offered his hand to the girl. Just him offering to share a compartment would spare her any further attacks, after all when one of the oldest living families was friends with someone then that person was off limits unless you wanted to end up with nothing and the Peverells were even said to be related to the potters and Harry potter was not someone anyone wanted on their families bad side.<br><br>----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br><br>Melody had been so excited when she turned 16, finally time to go to hogwarts and see the play her mother had grown up in and had so many adventures in and had meet so many of her friends. Hogwarts had always seemed like a near perfect place in Melody's mind, she wanted to explore all the hidden passages and do things that no one else had done. Little did the feisty 16 year old know that her thirst for adventure would be more than sated, and it would lead her to her house. <br><br>Melody had gone to Diagon Ally with the Potters and Weasleys, Luna had come as well for which Melody was secretly grateful. when they got to the familiar shop Melody had been drawn to this beautiful white wolf, he was only a few years old but he was a few hundred thousand gallons so she kissed the wolf's nose and left to look for another one she could afford before going to try and buy a brown owl, she was interrupted by Lily Potter calling her as she went to buy the owl. <br><br>Setting the cage down she went to see what was wrong and she found Lily giggling like the schoolgirl she was <strong>"what's going on? it's never good when you giggle like that"</strong><br><br>Lily only giggled harder before pointing behind Melody. Turning around she say Harry Potter buying the White wolf then letting the cage open, the wolf ran straight for her and she dropped to her knees to hug him as he was licking her neck. The whole group was making cute cooing noises at Melody but she didn't care, having Ghost near her felt right in her mind. After the shopping was done, Harry treating the group to a few snacks and dinner . .&nbsp; .along with some more school supplies, they all went back to their separate homes to sleep as much as they could before it was time to board the legendary Hogwarts express.<br><br>In the morning Melody was running a bit behind but of no fault of her own. Her father had spilt the floo powder and they had to drive to the station, her luggage was already taken care of courtesy of the Weasleys keeping all the trunks so Hermione could make sure everything was fitted properly and everything was packed for each person, with her white shadow walking by her side as she leaped on the train mere minutes before it was to leave. taking a moment to collect herself and check her hair in a nearby glass Melody went in search of a compartment to sit in, hopefully one that wasn't full as she wanted Ghost with her.<br><br>Melody saw two people leave a compartment with looks of disgust on their face and Melody shrugged, their less was her gain. She opened the door and quickly entered, shutting the door after Ghost wandered in. As she turned to look at who was all in the room her jaw almost dropped as she saw it was the Malfoy girl. She had heard the good and the bad about that family and Luna had told her that if she ever meet one she should befriend them, Luna was a seer after all. <strong>"Hello, I'm Melody, Melody Scamander. Everywhere else is pretty full, would you mind if me and Ghost hung out in here with you?"</strong> Melody was trying her hardest not to blush, while she never thought she liked girls her body had a definite reaction to this blonde haired girl, one that made Melody want to silence and lock the door for rest of the ride to school.

				Tatiana had been trying to escape the three boys. Why wouldn't they just leave her alone? She didn't ask for this. This was suppose to be better, right? Going to Hogwarts was suppose to be better. She wasn't really looking where she was going as she tried to avoid the hands tugging at her hair, pushing at her back. <br><br>The sound of crashing caused her to halt and look up. She saw a few others staring with wide eyes whispering incoherently. Then she saw him. Tall and handsome coming out from the compartment with wand drawn. She watched as he used some magic to shut and lock the compartment across from him. <br><br>She was still staring at him when he looked at her. She blushed and looked away before looking back at him as he spoke to her. She smiled softly at him and reached out and took his hand. She moved forward and slipped behind him into the compartment, completely forgetting the three. <br><br>Luna came running in after her and hopped up into one of the seats and curled up. <br><br>Tatiana moved to the window before turning to look at him, "Thank you. I was starting to worry I would not find a place." She stated.

				Auberon looked each person in the hallway right in the eyes, willing them to try and even speak out about his choice of traveling company, when none was offered he walked in the compartment.&nbsp; He quietly took a seat across from the girl, he wondered what house she would be in. <br><br><strong>"what is your name miss? I can't keep calling you miss blue hair and to are welcome to share a compartment with me anytime."</strong> while most guys would look a woman up and down Auberon's eyes never left this girls. He was far more interested in what lay inside, looks could change and would fade but who you were inside never did. His smile was charming as usual, but it was completely genuine

				Enjoying the compartment to herself, Cassieopeia stared out the window, watching as the scenery alternated between crop fields, pastures, and thick forests. Every bit of it was gorgeous. She loved the train ride to Hogwarts so far. It was such a change of pace for her. She and her family lived in a manor, as was befitting of pureblood's of their status. Fifteen minutes of walking was her just leaving the Malfoy land. After that, it took hours to reach civilization. It seemed, that, once she boarded the train, Cassieopeia made the transition from rich, socialite pureblood into a normal Hogwarts student, albeit a Malfoy. Every passing tree or field, or bush, Cassiopeia felt herself getting farther from home and closer to herself, and the ideas she kept hidden inside, not wanting her father to deny them and force her to be their ideal child: marrying well, being a stay-at-home-parent, hosting parties, tea events, making connections to help her husband with his work. She didn't want any of that, even if she knew her father just wanted the best for her.<br><br>As much as she fought against her father’s ideas and wants for her, Cassiopeia’s upbringing had rubbed off on her. She tended to avoid most of the muggleborns, though it was more out of habit than anything. Still, she wasn't a Malfoy in name only. She tended to be as calculating as the next pureblood, twisting things to her own satisfaction. Where her father was concerned, though, she couldn't twist anything. They'd taught her all they knew, after all, and she hadn't yet surpassed them. She could keep from being pulled into schemes when she was involved, but she wasn't able to pull them into hers. Cassiopeia knew she'd have to improve to the point where she could turn her father’s words against him successfully, or she'd never see her dream of becoming a Cursebreaker. She didn't want to become some docile pureblood's wife who never did anything for herself, and had house elves to do everything for her. She wanted to get out and discover everything for herself, work for her title, rather than just earning it. Draco Malfoy had other ideas, clearly.<br><br>Cassiopeia may have been a snobby pureblood elitest, and may have acted like it most of the time, but she had her own dreams of working and doing the job she wanted so badly, even if no one but Professor Snape knew about it.<br><br>A teen stepped into the compartment rather quickly, shutting the compartment door a bit loudly. “Hello, I’m Melody, Melody Scamander.” Cassiopeia watched the girl’s mouth move, seeing the words form but not actually hearing anything. She was too surprised that someone was actually talking to her, and either didn’t recognize her or didn’t care.<br><br>She scoffed, opening her mouth to respond without looking away from the window. The girl hadn't even waited for her answer before closing the door and sitting down, and that irritated her to no end. "What is the point in asking if you're not planning on waiting for me t-" Cassiopeia had turned to glare at the presumptious teen, and caught sight of her for the first time.<br><br>Holy... She is the most attractive thing I think I've ever seen. The realization hit Cassiopeia, and she brushed her hand down her braid. She'd never seen the attractive girl before, nor did she look particularly recognizable.<br><br>She gave the girl a small smile, narrowing her eyes just slightly, peering up at her through her lashes, though almost meeting her eyes directly. "Of course you can sit here." She murmured. "I don’t believe we’ve met yet. I’m sure I’d remember a beautiful girl like you. I’m Cassiopeia, Cassiopeia Malfoy. It’s a. . . pleasure to meet you.” Cassiopeia allowed herself an inward smirk. This could be an interesting game, if played right. She'd decided to be rather direct in her desires for the attractive teen, at least, direct for anyone bound to be in Slytherin as she was. If the girl was scared off by her advance, well, it would be no difference in how everyone else treated her. “Of course, your wolf is most welcome as well, so long as he isn’t spooked by snakes,” she continued blithely, as if she wasn’t plotting acceptable ways to have the door locked and her way with the brunette sitting across from her.<br>

				Tatiana smiled at him as he came into the compartment and sat down. She sat down across from him. "Oh! Sorry, my manners. I am Tatiana Kelmyr. Thank you, Auberon. You saved me from those guys and their bullying. I do not even know what a mudblood is or why they are calling me that." She stated. <br><br>She looked out the window as the train departed from the station and headed for Hogwarts. She sighed, "It was suppose to be better. It was suppose to be different. I have spent my life locked up at home, because my parents feared something would happen and then I would be taken away. Going to a school where there are others like me, should be better, so why were they attacking me like that? What did I do wrong?" She asked softly before looking to Auberon. <br><br>She then looked towards the door and the compartment across from them, "What happened with those guys?" She asked curiously.

				Melody smiled as she sat down, she wasn't even thinking about waiting her feet hurt a little, so any reprieve was welcome even if this girl didn't want her here. It appeared that she wasn't welcome when the girl said <strong>"What is the point in asking if you're not planning on waiting for me t-"</strong> but then she stopped mid word and really looked at Melody, Melody smiled and batted her eyelashes a little. After that she was invited to stay, and learned the woman's name, Cassiopeia Malfoy and Melody decided to call her Cassi for short.<br><br><strong>"Thank you for allowing me to stay and ghost isn't scared by snakes and won't harm yours. My name is Melody Scamander, but some call me by my mother's last name, Lovegood"</strong> as she said her mother's last name she leaned forward and smiled seductively <strong>"And the pleasure is mutual I assure you."</strong> with a pointed glance at the door Melody added <strong>"would you mind if I practiced a couple spells my mother told me about? they are&nbsp; Colloportus and Muffliato."</strong> the spells were for locking a door and making it impossible to be overheard, hell you could scream your head off and no one would hear you.<br><br>Melody knew she was being bold and she loved it, finally getting to be true to herself away from her parents who she loved but thought they were a little over protective of her. From now on she swore she would be what she wanted in the moment and worry about the rest later and right now she wanted to snog the shit out of Cassi until they reached hogwarts, and then they had until christmas. If they got into the same house they could even share a bed is Cassi was brave enough but even if they were in different houses that mattered little to Melody. Luna had been a Ravenclaw and had frings in Gryffindor and Hufflepuff. <br><br>Melody actually liked the mystery around those sorted into Slytherin, it was said they were hard to befriend but if you could then they would always be with you, that's the kind of friend Melody had always wanted, a friend that was all her own and not one through her parents and their friends.<br><br><br>----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br><br><br>Auberon watched Tatiana as she spoke, it appeared as if she liked talking to herself a little not that he minded.<strong>"Well Tatiana I would normally never discuss such a word but I would rather you know what they are calling you. A mudblood is a filthy term used to describe those who were not born into the wizarding world. those who consider themselves 'pure' bloods believe they are better that muggleborn and half bloods. those two I sent flying from here were of the pure blood type. I proved them wrong and so will you, I myself and called a half blood, my mother was a muggleborn and my father a pure blood"</strong><br><br>he kept his eyes on the girl the entire time, trying to pick up on her thoughts and feelings on this matter, if she was easily cowed by such things then she would be someone he would have to protect, if she would be able to rise above it or get angry then he could teach her to stand beside him, the situation made him think of a term his father used often <em>"If they stand behind you offer them protection, if they stand beside you offer them respect but if they stand against you show no mercy."</em> Needless to say his father was a Slytherin.<br><br><strong>"What house are you thinking you will be sorted into? Personally I want Slytherin or Gryffindor"</strong> The last part was a lie but alas if one usually said they only wanted Slytherin then people looked at them weird, much better to have them think he had more than one hope. Auberon was not the type to let just anyone see his plans and this woman was not one of the few who could. Not yet anyway

				Tatiana looked at him and blinked as she listened to him. "Oh... That is what that means. I have heard my tutor say it before." She stated. She glanced out the window, "I figured she didn't like me as much. She didn't like to answer questions. It was like she didn't want me coming. Why does it all have to matter anyway?" She asked. She balled her hands into fists. "I do not know if I should be angry or cry in frustration. I hate them." She shot up and moved to the door. She slammed it shut and locked it. "Screw them. I wish I could curse them or something." She smacked the door before going back to sitting down. <br><br>Luna lifted her head and watched her owner for a moment before laying her head back down. <br><br>Tatiana blinked at Auberon, "Oh. I do not care. I don't know anything in detail about them, so I do not know what the difference is. She only told me their names and made a comment about Hufflepuff would only be the proper choice for me, that I would never make it in Slytherin or Gryffindor." She stated. "However, Ravenclaw, something about it when I look at the symbol calls to me." She stated.

				Cassiopeia smirked a bit as she noticed the girl’s, Melody’s, she reminded herself absently, rather seductive smile. <em>The pleasure is mutual, eh?</em> The blonde teen knew a come on when she heard one, even if she wasn’t the most social of people. <em>This will definitely be interesting.</em> For a first friendly interaction between herself and someone who wasn’t family, Cassiopeia thought she was doing rather well, actually. Especially if this extremely attractive girl was equally attracted and interested in Cassiopeia as Cassiopeia was in her.<br><br>The Scamander name didn’t particularly ring a bell, but Lovegood, that name definitely did. While not a main character in her father’s tales of Hogwarts, she appeared once or twice, usually with the appointed nickname of Loony Lovegood. If Cassiopeia could remember correctly, she thought that Lovegood had been a year younger than Potter and his friends, though that didn’t stop the girl from involving herself in his later adventures.<br><br>She tensed up a bit as Melody mentioned practicing spells that her mother had showed her, unused to people using their wands in front of her for friendly reasons. She shook her head slightly, forcing herself to relax as she reminded herself that she knew exactly what those spells were, at least to an extent. Colloportus was well-known enough, and though she’d never heard of Muffliato, the meaning definitely seemed fairly obvious.<br><br>Cassiopeia blinked once, clearing her head and forcing herself to respond to the girl who so clearly didn’t care that she was wanting to lock herself into a compartment with a Malfoy. “Of course,” she said easily, waving a hand dismissively, “By all means, practice away. It would keep the. . . unsavory sort out anyways.” The blonde smiled, slightly, a single eyebrow raised, almost daring the other girl to make the first move.<br><br>While waiting, she raised a hand up to her collar and waited for her friend to slither onto her wrist. When Hydra did, she used her free hand to pet him softly, smiling softly at his pleased hissing and teasing tongue against her hand. Hydra curled around her wrist easily, writing against the skin, happy that his human was happy and just willing to be with her. It’d been so long since they’d been out of the manor, and Cassiopeia knew that her scaly friend was greatly enjoying the trip, even if it was just inside a single train compartment.

				Auberon raised his eyebrow slightly at the mention of her tutor, it seemed like a blood purist made it through the exams, that would have to be fixed. At Tatiana's outburst he smiled, there it was, that was exactly what he had been looking for. Auberon took a moment for the girl to calm down and talk about the houses and he decided to show her just how useful it was to be a friend of his <br><br><strong>"Hogwarts is divided into 4 major groups called houses. The most popular is Gryffindor, the house of the brave and daring. They dramatic and glory seekers, they tend to take situations and think their way is the only way.&nbsp; Then you have Ravenclaw, the house of intelligence and wisdom. Bad side is they tond to be antisocial and have a superiority complex. Next is Hufflepuff, the house of loyalty and kindness. They tend to be cowards that avoid conflict to the point anyone can walk over them. Then you have Slytherin, the house of the cunning and ambition. They have a bad habit of being power hungry and on the darker side. Each house has a good and a bad side, don't believe the negative on any of them or you will miss the positive."</strong><br><br>It was at this point a pure black snake slithered its way out from his jacket arm, the snake was almost a glossy black and its eyes showed intelligence befitting a true familiar <strong>"This is Hades, my familiar. <em>Kisa ahas aifias sayokessa, dehi omedaliea.</em>"</strong> Hades then closed his eyes and lowered his head as if bowing to Tatiana. Auberon only smiled, very few people knew he was a parselmouth and out of all the wizards in the world he was the only one who could in britain.<br><br><br>-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br><br><br>Melody smiled softly and slowly pulled her wand out and pointed it at the door, casting the locking charm then the muffling charm <strong>"If you want I can teach you those. they are quite fun"</strong> That's when she saw the beautiful snake and smiled <strong>"Your snake is quite beautiful, almost as much as you are. What is their name?"</strong> As she spoke Melody leaned closer, shrugging off her robe to reveal her plain shirt and loose skirt. <br><br><strong>"tell me something Cassi, have you ever kissed a girl? I haven't but I'm quite eager to try."</strong> with that Melody stood and straddled Cassi, leaving her wand next to her robes, she didn't want any kind of negative reaction and she had noticed Cassi had tensed when she asked to practice spells so she avoided even having her wand on her for this part.

				Tatiana sat down across from him and listened closely. She nodded at him, "I think for me, Ravenclaw would be what I would go for. I really like to know things. I stole a few of my tutors books on spells and would read them. I have learned quite a few spells this way." She smiled sheepishly. <br><br>Tatiana gasped at the snake, "Hades, you are so handsome." She stated. She looked at Auberon, "That is Parseltongue, is it not? I read that that ability is very rare and a trait of Slytherin. While I didn't know the differences in the houses, I know some things. I did read those stolen books. One was on rare abilities. I read that Harry Potter was once able to do it, but no longer can't. It must be nice to be able to communicate with your pet." She stated. <br><br>She looked to Luna, "I can not speak to her, but I like to think we can understand each other. I have had her for about a month now. She does not like to be away from me. Especially when traveling." She reached out a hand and petted Luna. Who was sitting up looking at Hades. She jumped over to be next to Auberon and leaned in and sniffed Hades before meowing at Hades and then rolling over onto her back and pawing playfully at Hades. "I think she likes Hades." She stated.

				When Melody asked about her snake, Cassiopeia gave the girl a genuine smile. The teen seemed interested in her snake, as opposed to being scared or grossed out by him, and so Cassiopeia was more than willing to answer her questions about him. "This is Hydra," she murmured, uncurling the snake from her wrist and letting him curl up in her hand, offering him to Melody, who had moved onto her lap sometime between asking about Hydra and questioning her about her sexuality. Cassiopeia just chose to ignore her second question until she could get her breathing back to semi-normal and her heart-rate back down so she could regain her composure a bit. "Unoriginal, I know, but for some reason, it just fits him rather well. He's got quite the attitude, and he definitely understands more than he lets on, I'm sure."<br><br>She used her free hand to grasp at Melody's thigh lightly, running her thumb back and forth. With heavy lids and a soft tone, she licked her lips and raised an eyebrow. "With your robes gone and your wand over there, it seems we're rather uneven in the clothing department, my dear." It was the only way Cassiopeia knew to let Melody know that she'd noticed the teen had disarmed herself before moving any closer, and the young Malfoy tried to show some subtle gratefulness.<br><br>Smirking softly, Cassiopeia shifted underneath the weight in her lap and moved her face a bit closer. "No, in answer to your question, I've yet to kiss a girl, but as far as desire goes, I'm far from opposed to the idea. . ." With that, the blonde pressed her lips against the teen in her lap softly.

				Auberon smiled <strong>"yes I am a Parselmouth, anyone can be a Parselmouth not just Slytherin and anyone can he taught to speak Parseltongue if they have the patience."</strong> He looked over at the familiars that were playing, Hades was skillfully dodging the cats playful strikes, trying to make himself look cool while they played which made Auberon chuckle as the snake spoke to him. <br><br>Looking at Tatiana he would say <strong>"Hades says he likes the fluffy black thing and wants to make it a honorary snake."</strong> With a smile that mist women would describe as sexy he added <strong>"any witch or wizard can communicate with their familiars on a far deeper connection than words. Yours will be able to understand you and help you out far more than a random snake would be for me, it does make it easier that mine is snake and can give him more detailed tasks and get more detailed information from him."</strong> <br><br><br>He watched the two familiars play for a bit the suggested with a sly smirk <strong>"Why don't you come sit on this side and let the little ones play for a bit? After all its not every day they get to make new friends."</strong> A little test for the want to be Ravenclaw, to sit or not to sit next to the would be prince of the Slytherin house. Her choice would be quite interesting. If she chose not to it would mean she might be wary of him, a wise choice for most people. If she chose to sit next to him she was either interested in him, polite or clueless, how close she sat would help him narrow that particular part down a bit.<br><br>-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br><br>Melody could barely understand what Cassi was saying, her heart was beating too loudly. <strong>I'm sure Hydra is one of the smartest snakes out there, he seems a perfect match for you."</strong> She actually rather liked snakes, there were quite a few that lived in the garden behind her house that she would often catch following her around, well she did feed them so they might have been looking for food but she liked to think they enjoyed her company.<br><br>When Cassi mentioned the wand and robes were left behind Melody could barely breath as she said <strong>"Maybe you should fix that, so we can both be on the same page."</strong> this was going far better than Melody had expected, Ghost was lounging in front of the cabin door and watching, he was very used to his owner being close to others but the smells they were putting off made him want to guard the room from the OUT side.<br><br>Melody was quite happy with her hands on the back rest behind Cassi, and loving Cassi's hand on her hip, her slight movements were sending shivers up Melody's spine in the most pleasant way. One thing Melody did not expect was Cassi to be the one to kiss HER!! Not that she was complaining in the slightest. Melody brought her hands to Cassi's face and and deepened the kiss, whimpering ever so slightly in pleasure as she tried to gently probe the blonde's mouth with her tongue

				Tatiana smiled at the two familiars. She nodded at him, "Her name is Luna and she is honored by Hades' suggestion." She watched the two as she listened to Auberon speak. "I am learning to communicate with her on that deeper level." She looked to Auberon as he suggested she come sit by him. She smiled softly and rose to her feet. She moved over and sat next to him, only mere inches between them. <br><br>Luna jumped over to the free seat and meowed at Hades to join her. <br><br>Tatiana looked up at Auberon and smiled at him, "So, could you teach me to speak it?" She asked curiously. "I think it would be wonderful to communicate with snakes." She stated. Tatiana rose back up for a moment to adjust her shirt when the train jolted and she fell into Auberon's lap. She cried out as she fell.
