The train sat, at the station awaiting the rest of the students to board the Hogwarts Express, bound to take everyone to the School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. One of the last few boarders was a tall girl with black hair down her back and stunningly pale grey eyes looked around her for an empty compartment on the train. She sighed as she found a compartment next to a few students that seemed to be hiding something from one of there friends. After a while she got up and poked her head into the compartment next to her and spotted the group of friends all chatting. She shook her head and returned to her own compartment.
Ron yawned and snuck out of his compartment with his friends and began to walk down the corridor to go in search of the sweets cart. When he heard a commotion coming from a compartment next to the gangs. He turned his head and noticed Malfoy and his stupid band of gits bothering some poor girl.
"Look you jerks I'll give you five seconds to leave before I curse you." Her voice flowed like honey and made Ron's heart skip. He opened the compartment and heard a few muffled words just before Malfoy and his gang came running out dragging behind them one of there friends. "Wow, that was great."
The girl turned and brandished her wand at Ron before realizing that he wasn't there to hurt her. "Thank you, I hate that bunch." Ron blushed as she held out her hand for him to shake it. "Names Ember Nightstar, you must be a Weasly." She smiled at him, completely unaware that she was turning his knees into jelly. "I'm Ronald...umm.. Ron."
She nodded and sat back down on the bench, "Most everyone who isn't afraid of me calls me Em. Your not afraid of me are you?" She asked peering at him as the door opened once more and another person entered, Ron turned and came face to face with a tall girl that had long deep burgundy hair and bright claret colored eyes.
“Oh Ruby there you are, I was afraid you wouldn’t find our compartment. Ron this is my sister Ruby Nightstar.” The other girl smiled, “A Weasly nice to meet you, I ran into a couple of jerks one very cute one that had the unfortunate accident of calling me a Weasly. He was suffering from a broken arm as I left him.” Ron nodded and looked back to Ember, “Excuse me my friends are probably wondering where I am.” “Alright we will see you later Ron, won’t we Ruby.” Ruby nodded and waved as Ron left, before they collapsed into giggles.
Several compartments down Malfoy found him self in the company of Crabbe, Goyle, Loki and a new student who had long black and silver blue hair with stunning eyes a mix of violet and gold. Together they spoke of a revenge plan for the Weasly’s and Potter, and a special one for the two girls that ruined Malfoy’s fun.
Upon the arrival at Hogwarts Ruby and Ember weren’t due to see Ron or his friends for the rest of the day, when the next chance arose it was only for a very brief moment. “Kagome!” Ember called out to her friend as she noticed that Malfoy and his gang were about to cause trouble. She hurried forwards to speak to her friend when Kagome was whisked away by Harry and his gang. She sighed and headed over to the tree where Kagome used to only to be stopped by a tall handsome man with long black and silverblue hair.
“What do you want Sessho?” She spoke as if she was bored with him, he looked at her and arched an eyebrow, “What could I possibly want from a witch like you.” He bit back at her in a very snobby and dismissive voice. “Not much if you had to think of that comeback all by yourself.” She retorted with a smile. “Look Nightstar just tell me what you know of that Kagome girl.”
Embers eyes shone with mischief that Sessho failed to pick up on. “I know that she is not really a she at all. Her name used to be Souta, is there anything else you would like to know Sessho?” Sessho shook his head, “no that’s alright. I…I think that is enough.” Ember burst out laughing as he practically ran away as Kagome and her friends headed back in her direction.
Ember caught her breath as Kagome smiled and waved to her, she waved back as a faint blush adorned her cheeks. She looked away and quickly took off to go find her sister Ruby, or someone else.
Kagome watched Ember take off quickly and looked after her a bit confused; She looked back at her friends and noticed Hermione and Ron in a very deep conversation about the days classes. Harry looked over at Kagome and smiled, his heart jumping a bit as Kagome smiled back.
Harry watched Kagome trying to figure out why she all of the sudden seemed to catch his interest. Her every move captivated him and he found himself listening to her when she spoke, in fact he should be listening now, “Harry watch out!” ‘What is she saying? watch out for what?’ A large object came in contact with his head knocking him to the floor and for a second he blacked out.
When he opened his eyes he saw Kagome down on her knees looking him over, she ran her fingers over his forehead. He blinked up at her blushing as her fingers came in contact with his skin. “Kagome” She looked down at him and blushed a bit as he sat up quickly catching her hand as she started to pull it away. “Harry?” She spoke a bit confused as to why he caught her hand and held onto it.
Hermoinie gently prodded Ron to get his attention over to Kagome and Harry, “Aren’t they so cute!” She whispered to him, Ron nodded, “Think ‘Arry will kiss her?” Hermonie looked at him and then back to Harry and Kagome.
Kagome looked over to Harry and held his emerald gaze as her heart continued to skip several beats, She swallowed and closed her eyes half afraid of what was going to happen as Harry took that chance to lean forwards, just seconds before his lips claimed hers a voice rang out causing him to jump to his feet and pull Kagome up with him. He looked over to the owner of the voice to find Ginny running to the group, “Hey they just put up a notice on the bored that were going to Hogsmeade tonight for a concert or something.”
Later that Night
Kagome looked at her dress that she wore; it was a long deep emerald color floor length off the shoulder dress. Hermonie also wore one much like Kagome’s except hers was a burgundy color. “Lets go meet the others in the common room.” Hermonie suggested to Kagome as she made a slight gesture to the bed chambers door. Kagome nodded and followed her wondering what Harry was wearing.
In the other girls dorm Ginny sighed as she looked down at her own dress which was more of a badly sewn bunch of fabric that was bewitched to take on a smokey grey color. Ember poked her head into the room wondering what was taking Ginny so long, “Ginny?” She asked timidly as she entered, Ginny looked up at her best friend as she entered the room. She knew that her friend was a year older than her but had been allowed to start Hogwarts a year late so they were in the same grade even though she was much older. She admired how her silver and black dress clung to her body in all the right places, She gasped a bit when Ember took a seat next to her and leaned over to tilt her chin upwards to look into her eyes. At that moment Embers normally pale grey eyes seemed to shimmer bright silver. For a brief moment the thought of a slight possibility that Ember might kiss her interested her, then her eyes went wide. ‘Why am I thinking of Em this way? I don’t understand.’
“Ginny?” Ember looked at her best friend trying to figure out why she was crying. “I’m fi…fine Em..Ember.” Ginny replied trying to keep her voice level, but as usual Ember saw right through her shareid. In a flash she had pulled out her wand and tapped Ginny’s dress mumbling a few words and seconds later she was wearing a beautiful top and skirt that complimented the red in her hair. Taking her hand Ember led Ginny down the stairs to the awaiting group below.
While the girls where upstairs Harry and Ron awaited all the girls in the common room, “So Ron you going to ask Herm to dance?” Harry asked while looking into the fire, Ron’s ears turned red as a blush appeared on his cheeks. “Wha…what about you and Kagome?” Harry looked at Ron, “what about us?” He asked trying to see what Ron was getting at. “Well are you going to ask her out or to dance, blimey I bet if I dared you to kiss her you wouldn’t.” Ron taunted as Hermonie and Kagome appeared at the top of the stairs, Harry and Ron stared at the girls, “Your on Ron, I make the same bet to you!” He whispered and hardly caught Ron’s nod.
Kagome turned to Hermonie before they decended the stairs and whispered softly “I bet Ron is planning to kiss you tonight. I bet you 10 sickles.” Kagome smiled down at Harry as Hermonie whispered back, “Alright and I bet Harry is going to do the same. He wanted to this afternoon before Ginny came and spoiled it.” Kagome blushed at the memory of that afternoon and nodded her agreement.
Ember stopped pulling Ginny once they reached the middle of the stairs, She could only stare at the two couples down below them. Ginny looked over at Ember and smiled silently thinking to her self. ‘Thanks Ember, you’re a true pal. But why do I feel like it should be something more.’ As the happy smile faded from Ember’s face Ginny felt like crying out even though she had no idea why Ember seemed so sad.
Later at the Concert
Harry who had been dancing with Kagome, grabbed her hand and took her over to the beverage spot and ordered two butterbeers. As they stood waiting for their drinks Kagome looked over to him and whispered that she thought he looked cute in his shirt and pants. As she stood back up right he moved forwards as if to whisper back and as she waited he kissed her softly pulling back as their drinks arrived. Ron who had spotted the whole thing smiled and turned back to Hermonie who had been watching as well, she turned and looked back at Ron kissing him soundly to shut him up from what ever it was he had been about to say. She had wanted to do that for years but she felt that at that moment it was a now or never thing.
Ginny lay under a tree at the top of a hill that over looked the concert by her self thinking things over. She felt her self singing with the band and agreeing with some of their songs. At the moment the band was singing one of her favorite songs, “Tell me about your first kiss,” she sang softly not realizing that she was no longer alone.
Ember had been sitting in the tree for a full 15 minutes before Ginny found the spot and sat underneath her. She sighed softly and leaned against the trunk of the tree letting her mind wander and her thoughts take her away. She had bewitched her dress to change into a black strapless top and a pair of black shorts. She jumped down and crept close to Ginny just in time to hear her whisper as she sang. She leaned down to her ear and whispered “I wouldn’t be able to tell you about my first kiss as I have yet to have had it.” She smiled seeing Ginny’s eyes fly open as she sat up turning to look at her. “Really but you should have dated several guys and had many kisses.” She spoke surprised at Ember’s confession. “Truthfully Gin there’s a problem in your sentence and it starts with the letter G.” Ginny blinked, “Guys?” Ember nodded and looked up at the sky, “Gin I’m not interested in guys, not at all.” That had completely taken Ginny’s mind, ‘That’s good, because I don’t think I am either.’ Ginny smiled and hugged Ember loosely hoping that Ember would tighten the embrace. Ruby took that chance to hurry up to them crying out in hopes of breaking them apart. “Ember you’ll never guess what I witnessed!” she screamed out.
After catching her breath Ruby sat down beside Ginny, “I saw Harry kiss Kagome…” Ember looked at Ruby and a sad hurt look crossed her face, excusing herself quickly she got up and left. “Em? Em where are you going?” Ginny called out feeling worried. “I guess I shouldn’t have told Ember.” Ruby stated softly. “Why not? I think its great those two are going to be getting together soon.” Ruby looked at Ginny and put her hand on her shoulders, “Gin, Have you never watched my sister watch Kagome? How she lights up when Kagome speaks to her. Didn’t it seem odd to you that she became unhappy when she spotted them in the common room before we all left tonight?” Ginny nodded, “Yeah, I was wondering what that was all about.” Ruby tilted Ginny’s head up so that she could look into her eyes. At the same moment Ginny’s breath caught in her throat. ‘No, it’s not Ember I was thinking about. It was Ruby all along.’ “Ember’s in love with Kagome.”
Ember stood quietly sobbing into her knees as she sat a fair good distance away from the party and everyone else. She felt betrayed by her emotions and angry that something she admired so greatly just seemed to destroy her whole being. Her sobs were loud enough that she never noticed the sound of footfalls heading her way. Until it was too late, “Go away, I don’t care who you are go away.” She whispered desprately wanting to be alone in her misery. But Misery loves company and the other person never went away. In fact the owner not only crouched down behind Ember but they also wrapped their arms around her. A warm and comforting scent began to assult Ember’s nose. There was only one person that had this scent. “Will you forgive me?” Ember nodded, “I already have.”
