'They're actually quite similar to the actors in the movies...' I thought reflectively, 'Oh! Looks like Goyle has already been bitten by Scabbers, which means they've already met Harry and Ron'
"Greengrass heiress" Malfoy greeted formally.
"Malfoy heir," Greengrass replied in a cool tone, but still with the formality of wizarding manners.
"And Davis" he then greeted Davis with disdain in his voice.
"Malfoy heir" Davis replied softly to Malfoy.
'Hmm, looks like Malfoy doesn't like Davis, possibly because she's a mestizo. And she apparently doesn't have the courage to go against him. This means that Malfoy's family is superior to hers,' I thought when I saw the exchange.
"And would you be?" Malfoy then turned to me and asked.
'What a bummer...' I thought, already knowing where this conversation would lead.
"Ethan Night," I said calmly.
"Um, judging by your name and your clothes, you must be a mudblood" Malfoy said giving me a sneer.
'Did this ferret just call me mudblood?' I thought surprised and a little angry, and I could tell from the emotions of Greengrass and Davis that they were also a little shocked by Malfoy's offense.
'Hah, so it's like this... Now you're number one on my hit list, Malfoy. You'll wish you never teased me, hehehehe' I thought vengefully, thinking of the pranks I would play with him, while on the outside I kept a blank face.
I then discreetly took out my wand, pointed it at Malfoy and his gorillas and cast one of my spells without anyone noticing. The spell I cast is a modified appearance change spell, which would only disappear after 12 hours, when the caster of the spell canceled it, or if an experienced wizard removed it.
As Malfoy looked at me with disdain, waiting for some reaction from me, the spell I cast began to take effect. And judging by Davis and Greengrass' wide-eyed eyes and their emotions of shock and surprise, I'd say the look I chose for them was a little bit shocking.
Mainly because now I was looking at the newest member of the Weasley family and his two bodyguards who now look like a real trolls. But it seems they haven't noticed the changes that have taken place yet. Well... Then why not play with them a bit.
"Did your mother ever teach you not to offend others?" I asked him in the same way an adult punishes a child who has done something wrong, and in that moment I could feel the angry feelings start to show in him.
So I looked him up and down and said in a thoughtful way, "Well…judging by your red hair and those freckles on your face, along with your rudeness, hmm…you must be. .. a Weasley!?" I said excitedly, as if I'd solved the riddle of the century. And I could feel feelings of utter confusion coming from Malfoy.
"Huh?" Malfoy looked at me in total confusion, but a moment later he saw his reflection in the train windows, and his face changed from confusion to horror.
"AHH! WHAT HAPPENED TO MY HAIR?!!" he yelled in a high-pitched tone of panic as he ran his hands through his hair in despair.
'Serious? I've basically changed his face to that of the family he hates the most, and the first thing he cares about is his HAIR?' I thought, looking at Malfoy as if he were a creature to be studied.
"My hair! My face! What happened to them!?" Malfoy continued to whine as he tried to get his freckles off by rubbing his face, only to find they weren't coming out.
And I could feel the feelings of shock, awe and amusement coming from Davis and Greengrass, as well as the shock and confusion coming from Crabbe and Goyle, who had just noticed the difference in Malfoy.
"Why aren't you doing—!!!" Malfoy then started talking, turning to Goyle and Crabbe, only to stop in shock "Kyaaaaahh!!!" he yelled in a definitely unfeminine way.
""Huh?"" Goyle and Crabbe looked at Malfoy in confusion.
"What happened to your faces?!!" Malfoy asked with his eyes wide open as he pointed at them.
Crabbe and Goyle started looking at Malfoy even more confused, but then they turned away, and when they saw each other's faces their eyes started to widen.
"Goyle, your face is green!" Crabbe said in surprise, pointing a finger at Goyle's face.
"And your nose is bigger!" replied Goyle, staring at Crabbe's large, wrinkled nose, who turned to look at his reflection in the glass, with Goyle doing the same next, and the two surprised then began touching their faces.
'That was the only difference they noticed?!' was my thought, which was apparently the same as the others, judging by the strange looks they were giving Goyle and Crabbe.
"Ahem... Well, ignoring the two idiots over there, I think it would be in your best interest to try to get ready before we get to Hogwarts" I told Malfoy, or was it now Weasfoy? Hmm... meh, who cares.
After getting Weasfoy's attention, he turned to me with a flat look, and it slowly looked like the fact that he was going to have to attend the welcome feast in front of the entire school, looking like a Weasley, finally knocked, and his eyes began to widen comically.
He then turned in panic to leave the compartment, but not before leaving his last words.
"I hope the next time we meet, you'll be with better company!" Malfoy said looking at Greengrass and Davis, before looking at me with disdain. And then he ran off looking for an older student to cancel the spell, with his two trolls close behind. Leaving the compartment in total silence...
....
"Pffff! Hahahahahahahahah…" I was the first to break the silence, because as soon as they left I couldn't hold back the laughter any longer, and even Nyx, who was watching the entire exchange, started to overflow with feelings of amusement.
Meanwhile, Greengrass and Davis were looking at the spot where Malfoy had just left with their mouths open.
"Phew! That was hilarious…" I said after catching my breath as I wiped my tears from laughing, "If Hogwarts is like this all semester, I'll love studying there!"
Davis then turned to me Perplexed, "How did you do that?!" he asked in what was almost a scream. And it looks like Greengrass wanted to ask me something too, but decided not to and quickly put his emotionless mask back on, deciding to listen to my answer to Davis' question while pretending to be uninterested in the answer.
"What did I do?" I asked back innocently.
"How did you do that to Malfoy?! I didn't even see you use your wand!" she continued.
"I don't know what you're talking about…" I continued as I looked away and whistled innocently.
"I know…" Davis said slowly, eyeing me skeptically.
After that the compartment returned to its silence, so I went back to picking up my diary, leaned against the window and began to read it.
The rest of the trip was uneventful, with Davis and Greengrass eyeing me discreetly from time to time, and the only other interruption we had was from the snack cart lady, where I bought a little bit of everything, which earned me another glimpse of the girls. And after that the journey continued.
Later, close to arriving at Hogwarts, we started to get ready, I then left the compartment to let the girls change, and when they were done, they left for me to change. After I finished changing, the girls went back inside, and we settled into our seats and waited for the express to arrive at Hogsmeade station.
After a while we heard a voice echo through the train.
"We will arrive at Hogwarts in five minutes! Please leave your luggage on the train, they will be taken to school"
After the warning, I then proceeded to pack the rest of the candy and my journal into my suitcase, and also put Nyx in her cage, after promising that I would release her as soon as we got to the common room.
And so the minutes passed and I could feel the emotions of anticipation, nervousness, excitement and longing coming from the students. And then the train slowed down until it finally came to a stop, and the students began to descend onto the station platform.
'This is where the adventure begins...' I thought expectantly.
End.
