Chapter Text
My eyes flutter open, seeing nothing but the plush, pink velvet of my coffin's lining. I push open the top, my eyes being drawn to the window, noticing that it was raining once again. Two perfect days in a row. I yawn, stretching my arms into the air, feeling the sleeves of my worn Your Substance Love shirt fall down slightly. I shuck off the shirt, being drawn to my leather dress in my favourite colour.
I put on my black fishnets and attach my red pentacle necklace on. Some people think the pentagrams in media are actually called that, but they're not. They're actually called a pentacle. If there's a circle around the star, it's a pentacle. If it's just the star, it's a pentagram. I did my research. I put in my earrings, humming a song from my favourite band, Your Substance Love.
I tie up my hair, making sure it's out of my face.
Right as I finish, I hear wood creaking. My roommate and best friend Willow had woken up and pushed open her coffin, her green eyes glinting with mischief. "Morning, Wil." She climbs out, her hair's pink streaks catching the light. She throws on a Lynmari Womandaughter shirt, pulling on some matching fishnets. "Morning, Raven Way!" I smile slightly, watching her put on her high heeled boots.
Willow was the only one who called me that. You see, my name is really long. I think it's a gorgeous name, but it's kind of a mouthful to tell others. I learned that my first year at Hogwarts, when I decided to introduce myself as Ebony Dark'ness Dementia Raven Way. Willow was also the only one with permission to call me Raven Way, or my full name in general.
She finishes getting ready, starting to apply her eyeliner. "So.. I saw you talking to Draco Malfoy yesterday..." I roll my eyes, ignoring the way she smirks at me. "Yeah, so?" I finish my right wing, beginning to work on my left. "Do you liiikeee him?" She teases me, drawing out the word 'like' for a lot longer than needed. I snort. "No, I fuckin' don't."
"Yeah, right." We finish up, topping the looks off with lipstick. We walk into the Great Hall from the Slytherin common room. I notice Draco walking towards me almost immediately. I huff, Willow laughing at my expression before running off with a wink. "Morning," Draco greets. "Hey." I ignore eye contact with him. "Guess what I heard?"
I look at him, tilting my head slightly in confusion. He leans in and speaks quietly. "Adequate Caroline is playing in Hogsmeade tonight." I gasp loudly, slapping a hand over my mouth as everyone turns to look at us. "No way." I whisper-yell at him. They're one of my favourite bands. "Will you go to the concert with me?" He asks. My jaw drops after the second surprise of the day.. and I hadn't even eaten breakfast yet.
