"Please welcome, to the fifth year, Riley Granger"
As all of their heads turned to the doors my sister just shook hers at me. "Hi" I smiled, causing Dumbledore to jump out of his skin. "Take a seat" McGonagall said. I did as she said and the hat thought for a while. I got bored with the wait so i listened in to Hermione's conversation. "No. Riley's... Different. You see her eyes. When they're purple it means she's listening to someone's conversation. Most likely ours" A smile grew on my face and i looked to her. "Do you think she'll be in griffindor?"
"I doubt it"
I chuffed in amusement. Suddenly the hat started talking, breaking my concentration. "Difficult... Very difficult... Loyal, Hard-working, ambitious, cunning, Courageous, stubborn-"
"What do you mean stub- you know what i'm not even going to argue" I frowned as i let out a loud huff. "SLYTHERIN!" I rolled my eyes and stood up. I sat down and looked over to Hermione with a smile. She had a frown on her face as i directed my attention to the boy next to her. My eyes went orange and i had a grin on my face. The boy held his throat as he choked on his food. Hermione picked up a cup to throw at me before a blonde boy threw a bread roll at me. "Hey!"
"Why is a Granger a slytherin?"
"I don't know. Hey are you smart?"
"Yeah..."
"But you're blonde?"
"What's that got to do with anything?"
"Well you know. Blondes are known as stupid is all" I shrugged. He frowned at me and i turned away with a smile. "How dare you! Mudblood" My eyes suddenly went orange again as i turned to him. His hand slowly went to his throat as i stared at him for longer. He started to go red and a smile grew on my face. "RILEY!" Hermione yelled. My head shot in her direction. I made my eyes purple and listened to her. "Stop choking people and listen to the woman" I rolled my eyes and looked over to the pink woman. She blabbered on for ages.
"Ok, thank you everyone. Bed time" I frowned and stood up. I followed the others to the dungeons and went straight into the bedroom.

"Go away Hermione" I groaned as she came up to me. "Does she have a problem with you?" Ron asked as he frowned down at me. "Yeah she doesn't like me" She shook her head and turned around to walk away. "Why?"
"I don't know"
"Yes you do"
"No Riley, i don't"
"You should i've told you that before. And the last time we had this conversation you ended up in hospital"
"How?" Ron asked. "Well you see, our parents have never been very fond of me. Because i'm, as Hermione says, different. For instance look at my eyes" He did as i said and frowned. "What do they look like?"
"Little storms"
"Now, if i get mad, my eyes and hair gets darker the storm gets angrier and something terrible happens" I held my finger up and a small flicker of electricity flickered through it. The two boys frowned as they watched the strand bounce from one finger to the other. "Now, do you want to make me mad and see what ha-"
"Mum and dad don't hate you" She interrupted. "Oh really! So you don't think they favor dear big sis?"
"No"
"They went to every one of your school plays, parents meetings, club shows. They went to one of my magic shows and that was because it was in the living room"
"Riley please do-"
"You had every well done! Congratulations! Oh are you ok? I had none of that. I bet none of you noticed that i was miserable"
"When?" She frowned. "Every day of my life, from year 5 in primary. I never got an are you ok? You look sick. I never even got a fucking how are you, how was school?"
"Rile-" She tried to stop me and my eyes grew darker and hair faded. Strands of lightning started to surround my fingers. "I GOT BULLIED EVERYDAY! because i looked a mess, because i never had sleep. But even whilst you were gone i STILL didn't get a single 'what's wrong?' When i was CRYING IN MY ROOM!"
"Oh no" Hermione muttered as she pushed back Harry and Ron.
"Granger!" Malfoy spat. "WHAT!" I yelled. "What's wrong with her?" Draco frowned. "I don't know what's wrong with me. So why don't you tell me!"
"Riley please stop before you hurt someone again"
"You know i can't. Or at least you would if you talked to me"
"What do you mean?"
"I would love to Hermione. But the thing is, dear sister. You can't control a beast" I growled before I ran off into the forest.. "Riley!" She screamed.
I had a tear stained face as i blasted a tree to get the pain out. "I fucking hate this" I muttered through my tears. I knelt down and put my hands on my stomach as i felt the pain grow. I shook my head as i kept in my scream. Because if i scream multiple strands of lightning would hit random places around me. I let out a low growl and put one of my hands on the tree next to me. It went up in flames and the pain left my body. I let myself transform into a Dire wolf (Big enough to ride) as the anger controlled it me.
I was in my wolf form for about an hour before the anger settled and i sat and leaned against another tree.
"Uh... Granger?" I looked up to find the blonde boy standing in front of me frowning. "What?" I growled. "Other Granger's worried"
"So?"
"Well... she's your sister?"
"I doubt that"
"What?"
"That i'm even theirs" I stood up and walked past him. "What do you mean?" He caught up to me and kept the speed that i did. "I mean, I was probably left on the doorstep or adopted" I put my hands in my pockets and kept my gaze ahead of me. "What do you want Blondie?"
"My names Draco"
"Well i didn't know that. The only thing i've said to you is called you stupid and choked you"
"Draco Malfoy" He added. "Riley Granger"
"I'm just saying, have you ever seen Hermione do something like that?"
"No..."
"Exactly"
"GRANGER!" Malfoy shouted. I shot the thankful girl a scowl and walked past shaking my head.
"Great first day" Draco nodded. "Shut up" I growled before making my way to the common room and into my bedroom.
