Ask The Party God - Timeline

the pre-terezi-gang timeline post is here

height references over here

hi, im jade! everyones favorite party goddess and trans doggy girl~ but you already know that! if youre reading this, it means youre interested in learning more about my reality, because paradox space is fucking weird like that and you cant really be sure all the time

as far as im aware, everything up to the point where we beat the game happened without deviations from the alpha timeline? so this is what rose has talked about as a ‘terminal timeline’, or ‘post-canon’, or whatever the hell that is supposed to mean

we got to earth-c, and i settled in the troll kingdom because trolls are cool, dave and karkat were in the neighborhood, and the caverns are close by so i can visit rose and kanaya speedily as well! i still do have my old tower out on an island, with my workshop and garden, but i almost never sleep in it, too far away and isolated from everyone...

then one day i found this old active server in the furthest ring keeping tumblr active and i thought, hey, why not have some fun? ;D

as for the others...

my darling sis june egbert! she lives in the consort kingdom, but has been thinking about relocating elsewhere lately! she went through a rough patch right after the game, unsure of what to do and full of all sorts of doubts and questions, but shes doing a lot better nowadays! specially now that terezi is back, shes been a lot more peppy and hanging around with the lalondes particularly!

rose rose rose rose~ happily married to her wife kanaya, duh, but that doesnt make her any less of a flirty cutie! a while back she got really sick for a bit, and weve been keeping an eye on her just in case it happened again, but its been all good ever since! she helps kanaya at the caverns a bunch, which makes her schedule busy busy... and you didnt hear this from me, buuuut words out on the street that she and kanaya may be warming to the idea of having a kid! <3 well see how that goes!

one cool dude~ daves a little bit of a shut-in honestly! and honestly i dont blame him? he must be tired after all the timeline and time travel shenanigans, so he spends a good chunk of his time hanging out in his and karkats house! hes kind of awkward about opening up with feelings and stuff, and ive been trying to nudge him to be more open for a while! but with all the craziness thats been going down lately, and more people coming and going and getting together, hes starting to consider things he hadnt before~ hopefully, some specific someones? ;)

janey! my uh... ecto-mom, technically, although we see each other more like cousins than anything else! she still owns crockercorp, but ever since jasprose has been around, she has been spending a lot more time at home and just hanging out with her friends, which really, sounds a lot healthier than the big business thing she had going on a while back! she enjoys teaching me baking stuff, but doesnt have much patience for my decorating skills ;p

grandpa! and grandson technically, hehe, jakes kind of a weird case, hes a mixture of a shut-in, a celebrity and an adventurer! he can spend up to weeks at a time without leaving his manor, but then hell have full weeks of interviews and hiking, and thats not to say anything of when he and dirk put out another episode or two of their dumb comedy talkshow... hes often busy with stuff, but hes still a good pal and can clear his schedule in seconds if we need him for something!

one sweet nb dude! rox really is... something else, really! fun to tag along at a party, fun to chill at home playing games, fun to talk about more serious stuff and open up with him, he really is just solid as they come! hes been hanging out a lot more with june since she got out of her depressive slump, but sometimes i wonder if junebug finds weird to get flirty with roxy, considering im pretty sure we made out in front of her at some point or two... hehehe

dirk! if daves a bit of a shut-in, hes a shut-in times two, which is weird because youd think someone stuck in post-apocalyptic earth for so long would want to hang out more? not to say he DOESNT, though! hes around jake often enough, and keeps close to jane, roxy and dave specially! we dont see each other too often, but we HAVE been messing around with robots and planning out to upgrade our respective self-bots for funsies!

aradia! we only met briefly in dreams for the longest time, but i knew already that she was a riot! she came with terezis group after she finally found vriska, and seems pretty happy just... kind of... being around and watching shenanigans ensue! i actually dont know where she lives, but she drops by occasionally, because im apparently pretty ‘fun’... cant say i disagree ;)

sollux is blind, and not dead, and WILL kick you in the shins if you keep prying about how exactly he ended up like that, which is fair enough! he spends a good chunk of his time with aradia, and im not sure if theyre dating or not...? but hes been around the other trolls a bunch! specially kanaya, apparently theyre good friends that go way back! i guess they both DO style their hair similarly, with the side spike thingies...

the other half of the dave-kat duo! swooooon~ really though, i cant remember the last time i said “dave” or “karkat” without talking about the other shortly after... buuut theyre just roomies, and hell get awkward and grumpy if you even so slightly IMPLY otherwise, despite the fact everyone knows they fall asleep leaning against each other during friday movie night! roooolling my eyes~ with the rest of the living trolls having arrived, hes been a lot more willing to go outside, which im glad for! its healthy to get some fresh air from time to time, and specially hang out with friends!

oh-la-la, miss maryam-lalonde herself! kanayas the matriarch of the caverns, and quite the busy gal, having taken it upon herself to supervise her entire species reproduction and well-being... in my opinion, she needs a good vacation from time to time, and to be less of a workaholic! >:o ive been helping her occasionally in the caverns, and as of late weve begun trying to mess around with ectobiology for some troll-human crossing experiments with... not good results so far... but hey, rome wasnt built in a day!

terezis back, yes! after spending YEARS out there looking for vriska, she managed to find her and come back, the madwoman! personally im not sure why anyone would go to such lengths for... her... but also, its not my bond, not my place to speak, she obviously really loves her a bunch! with vriska no longer lost in the middle of the furthest ring, shes started to catch up with everything going on with earth-c, and i think shes really going to like being around! specially with how much june and the rest have missed her ;)

troublemaker extraordinaire herself! shes... well, shes vriska, im pretty sure she stole that eyepatch from sollux? so you just know she up to no good already >:/ speaking of her eyepatch, im not sure WHY shes wearing it? whatever kinda wound she got, she doesnt like mentioning it, despite bragging about defeating english at every chance she gets! terezi says they found her popping in and out of consciousness in the furthest ring with some messy wounds, and that shed probably been hovering out there after the fight for years... doesnt seem to have humbled her in the slightest <.<

callieeeee! theyre super sweet and wonderful but also really shy and awkward! they live with roxy but manage to outdo dirk in terms of shut-in-ness... they also totally like roxy but is unsure about approaching those feelings considering the whole species thing and whatever, ive been trying to get them to open up for a while now! weve written fanfic together and drawn grids, so i can definitely tell theres some attraction there, even if theyre afraid of acting upon it just yet <3

jaspie is roses bane, and the one cat that made me get used to their smell enough that i dont bark at them instantly anymore! im pretty sure she crashes at janes often, and is just as outgoing and flirty as i am around earth-c parties and bars, which is saying something honestly! i wont let her dethrone me as the party god, though >:)

and finally davepeta! theyre staying with june for the time being until they can get settled around and see what they want to do here! theyve also dropped by dave and karkats a bunch, which i most certainly dont mind! i definitely appreciate some help in bringing a romantic vibe into those twos lives~ ;o

and thats about it! theres also the nannasprites and tavrosprite and arquius, but they pop by so sporadically and rarely that i dont know what theyre doing a majority of the time... we lost track of gamzee after the session so hopefully hes totally gone, and we havent heard any message from caliborn in years... and with the furthest ring broken and the black hole sealed, leaving a weird white empty space right in the middle of reality, im not sure what our chances of bringing back the other trolls are :( but still, we keep living on happily over here and having our fun slice of life ending together!

id say after everything weve gone through, we deserve a big break, dont we? hehehe <3

also, particularly important events that happen and are recorded in this blog will be tagged as timeline shenanigans!

What’s Wrong With Me?! Chapter 1~

~~ Third Person POV ~~

•••••Sadie crept onto the bus, the Malfoy’s standing behind her. Draco and her decided that once they stepped foot onto the train they would go their separate ways. Well...they decided it was for the best, considering everything going on.

She nodded at Draco, at the exact same time he did. She then turned her back to the only person that’s ever been kind to her. Sadie had to go to the train with the Malfoy’s, since her mother Bellatrix Lestrange couldn’t be out. She was hiding from the Ministry. Sadie wasn’t proud, she didn’t like having the last name Lestrange or Riddle. That’s right, her father was the famous Voldemort, more commonly known as You-Know-Who.

Sadie plopped down in an empty compartment, pulling out a Muggle book she had found on the ground. She would deny it-since her mother would disown her-but she was okay with Muggles, Muggleborns, Half-Bloods, and so called ‘Blood Traitors’.

She started reading, until a pair of red hair twins ran into the compartment, slamming the door shut. Sadie was about to say something but both quickly put a finger over their lips. Sadie quickly shut her mouth, waiting to hear what they were hiding from.

“Where is those dirty blood traitors?! Find them!” A voice yelled out angrily. She flinched, knowing it was Draco’s voice. Sadie didn’t do anything, her eyes squeezed shut.

“Hey, sorry ‘bout that,” one of them finally said, looking at her. She opened her eyes and shrugged, not really minding.

“Malfoy just had one of his minions get pimples all over their face, and his robes set on fake fire,” the other said, causing her to hide a smile behind her hair. Sadie had to admit, it was hilarious. She just didn’t want to open up, afraid of what would happen if they figured out her parents.

Finally she gave in, laughing at the prank they had described. She knew his two ‘minions’ Crabbe and Goyle, thinking of how one would look with pimples covering his already ugly face. And she imagines as her almost-brother started to play drama king at the sight of his robes caught on fire. Once she settled down, she titled her head up to look at the boys who were a year older.

“You’re the Weasley twins, am I correct? Fred and George?” Sadie questioned, pointing at one then the other. Their mouths fell open in awe, their eyes sparkling. The train hadn’t started moving, so she was glad to have somebody to talk to while waiting.

“How’d you guess us right?! You’ve never even seen us before!” Fred exclaimed in astonishment. She shrugged, hiding the slight smirk that pinched at her lips.

“I don’t know. Lucky guess?” She replies cheekily, her smirk growing by the second. They both chuckled, slowly sinking into the seats in front of her.

“I like her. She’s outgoing, has a sense of humor, cheeky, silly, funny, and she doesn’t seem to be a snitch,” George stated, looking at Fred. Her shoulder length hair hit her face as she looked up completely. Fred nodded, a smile plastered on his face. The second years leaned back, completely forgetting about why and how they had ended up there.

“Not to mention she’s friendly and seems to get along with everyone,” Fred added, making her smile grow. George nodded, staring at her.As Sadie sat up straighter her book fell to the floor, forgotten. She flipped her hair from her face, huffing as it ended up hitting her in the face. The three laughed as she pulled hair from her mouth.

“FRED?! GEORGE?!” A voice called out angrily, making the twin’s heads whip up. Her heart sunk, thinking about how she’d be alone again.

“Bloody hell, we forgot about Lee!” George shouted, hitting himself in the forehead with his hand. Fred groaned, throwing his head back. Sadie watched curiously, her head cocking slightly.

“We left him behind, he had to face Malfoy alone- we’re going to die,” Fred mumbled. They opened the door, starting to leave. She felt slightly hurt, even if they’d just met, they left without even a word.

“Wait! We didn’t catch your name,” George said quickly, both of them peeking their heads back in. Sadie instantly felt better, her smile that had faltered returning.

“Sadie. Sadie...Cissy,” she replies hesitantly, using her middle name rather than her last name. She wasn’t ready for anybody to know about her parents. Not yet.

“See ya around Sadie-“ “If we’re not dead by then!” They said in sync, letting the door shut behind them as they ran. She shook her head, a trace of a smile gracing her lips. She didn’t have many of those, unless she was with Draco. Not even a minute later, two boys slowly opened the door. One had black hair, that fell messily on top of his head. The other had fiery hair just as the twins. She remembered Narcissa talking about the Weasley’s youngest son, Ronald.

“Hey...sorry to bother you but...everywhere else is full. Do you mind if we sit?” The boy with black hair asked. She nodded happily and smiled, marking her page this time before setting the book down.

“I’m Sadie. Sadie Le-...Cissy,” she stated, correcting herself quickly. They both nodded as they heaved their trunks overhead-well tried to. Sadie smiles and coughed. They set the luggage down and looked at her.

“Allow me,” she said, standing up. She pulled her wand out of her boot, standing to her feet. Her purple sweater sleeves tried to slip over her hands, before she pulled them up slightly.

“Wingardium Leviosa,” she called out, her hand moving in the motion that Narcissa had used once before. The luggage floated in the air and she almost burst out giggling. She was almost positive she would fail, seeing as she’s only ever watched Narcissa. The boys watched in awe as Sadie moved their bags onto the shelf above their heads. They looked at her when she slipped her wand back into her boot and sat down.

“I’ve watched my...mother do a few simple spells,” Sadie stated simply, shrugging her shoulders. They nodded, slowly sinking into their seats just like the twins.She turned to the boy she believed to be Ron, who had sat down by the window beside her. She took her book and her bag of money beside her, that way she wouldn’t pull a clumsy act like usual.

“You’re Ronald Weasley, aren’t you?” Sadie asked shamelessly. She didn’t see anything wrong with it, even if it seemed slightly creepy. She was just too scared to speak around the people at her house, so she mostly listened.

“Y-yes actually. B-but I go by R-Ron,” he stuttered, looking at her in awe again. She smiled, something she seemed to be doing more that day than her whole life.

“Nice to meet you Ron. And,”—she turned to the other boy, throwing her hands toward him—“you are?”The boy seemed slightly taken aback, as if she was supposed to know everyone or something.

“Well I’m Harry Potter,” he responded, giving her a crooked smile. She felt as if somebody hit her with the Stupefy jinx. This was the boy that her father tried to kill, who’s parents were killed by her father.But, Sadie regained herself quickly replacing the once again faltered smile. She was glad that he had survived, she wasn’t like her parents. So she wasn’t going to try and get vengeance, she would congratulate him if she wasn’t afraid of one thing.

“Really? That’s cool! But, I’m guessing it must be quite tiring,” Sadie said, putting her elbows on her knees and leaning forward. He nodded slightly, his untidy hair parting enough to show her his scar.Ron opened his mouth to say something when the Trolley came by. She opened the door, a kind smile on her face.

“Anything from the trolley dears?” She asked sweetly, holding a trolley filled with sweets. Ron looked down, embarrassed or ashamed as he held up sandwiches wrapped in plastic wrap.

“I’m all set, my mum packed me sandwiches,” he mumbled, setting it down as he pet the rat in his lap. Harry and Sadie both stood with their bags at the same time. When the Trolley left, there wasn’t much left on it. Harry and Sadie had been rich -Sadie was technically a Malfoy now, so she had more money sent with her than she knew what to do with- so they had bought almost all the sweets.

They had light and causal conversation as they ate, Sadie sticking multiple Sugar Quills into her backpack. She was kind of zoned out until she heard the compartment door open.

“Has anyone seen a Toad named Trevor? A boy, Neville, lost him,” a girl with crazy curly hair said, leaning against the door. The three shook their head, each having a piece of candy in their mouth or hand. The girl looked at Ron, and that’s when Sadie noticed how he had his wand out.

“Oh, you’re practicing magic? Let’s see it then,” the girl ordered, causing Ron’s face to morph into somewhat disgust or unbelief. Harry and Sadie were looking at each other with just confused yet amused expressions.

“Sunshine, daisies, butter mellow. Turn this stupid fat rat yellow!” He yelled, wailing his wand around a few times. Hermione stood there, a look of disapproval on her face. She looked at Ron, shaking her head.

“Are you sure that’s a real spell? Well, it’s not a very good one,” the girl commented in a matter-a-factly tone. She stepped into the compartment, pulling her wand out. Sadie and Ron now looked at each other, Ron’s face full of disbelief, disgust, and revulsion. Sadie shrugged as Hermione sat across from her and beside Harry.

“Of course, I’ve only tried a few simple ones myself. For example”—she whipped her wand out,almost hitting Sadie in the face with the action, and pointed it in Harry’s face—“Oculus Reparo!” Her wand lit up and a spark hit Harry’s glasses. His broken glasses fixed instantly, causing all three to look at her astonished. Sadie had only learned two or three, and DIDNT even know if she could actually do them. She always watched Narcissa and Lucius around the house.

“I’m Hermione Granger by the way,” she greeted, looking around at them. The girl named Hermione waited for them to say something, but they were too stunned by the way she was talking and the spell she had done effortlessly. Finally she sighed and rubbed her temples. “And who, if I may ask, you guys.”

“Ron, Ron Weasley,” Ron answered first, a face full of chocolate frog. Sadie had to bite her tongue to keep from giggling, and from the looks of it Harry did too. Hermione looked at him like he had just eaten a piece of rubber on fire.

“And I’m Harry Potter,” Harry said next, bringing her attention back to him. Her eyes seemed to light up slightly and Sadie couldn’t hide her eye roll at her reactions. She knew that he had survived Voldemort as an infant and that he was really famous, but people had to stop.

“Really?! I’ve read all about you, you’re in almost every book that’s been written recently,” Hermione rambled, leaning against the back of the seat. Sadie waited for her to be done, putting another Sugar Quill in her mouth. She had plenty to spare-she bought twenty two. Finally Hermione stopped rambling and Sadie instantly opened her mouth.

“And I’m Cissy, Sadie Cissy,” she stated plainly, the blue Sugar Quill hanging from her mouth. Once again, Hermione gave that look again. The curly haired girl stood, her wand in hand.

“Well, I’m off. You three should get dressed in your robes, we’ll be at Hogwarts shortly,” Hermione stated before walking out the door, letting it slam shut behind her. Finally, the three burst into laughter. They couldn’t help it, the way she had acted smarter and the revolted faces she made and the way she talked.

“Well...that was a nightmare,” Ron finally said, causing them to giggle a little longer. Finally, after Sadie had finished the Sugar Quill in her mouth she stood. The girl stepped onto the seat, standing on her tip toes as she stretched to reach her robes. She finally grabbed the material, yanking it from the shelf.

“I’ll be back boys, I’m going to change. Scabbers, you’re in charge. Keep these two out of trouble,” Sadie joked, causing them to laugh. She walked out of the compartment laughing, walking towards the girls changing room.

Sadie walked with her head down, mostly afraid of running into Draco. Sadly, she ran into something else. A human. She fell to the ground with a OOF! She stood, helping the person she knocked down. Sadie saw a red headed kid, a black kid, and a kid with dark brown hair.

She was helping the red head up, picking up her robes as well. Sadie smiles softly as the boy got to his feet with her help, dusting off himself. They looked at each other and he smile as well.

“Bloody hell, sorry ‘bout that. I need to watch where I’m goin’,” Sadie quickly apologized, smiling at all three boys. They seemed to be her age, and when she focused on the dark brown haired boy, she realized he was Neville Longbottom. Oh no...not another person that her parents scarred, tortured, or tried to kill. She could add him to the list.

“No worries lass. I wasn’t watching either,” the boy replied, his smile lopsided. The other two boys smiled as well, and she quickly grabbed her robe which she had dropped. When she popped back up, she held her hand out.

“I’m Sadie,” she introduced herself, as the red headed one extended his hand out as well. He shook her hand with his free one, his other arm holding his robes as well.

“Seamus Finnagin. And this here is Dean Thomas”—he gestures towards the dark skinned boy as they shook hands—“and he’s Neville Longbottom.” She smiled, taking Neville’s hand. They shook, and then she pulled away.

“Well, it was nice meetin’ you three. Once again, sorry about runnin’ into you. I’m a bloody idiot at times. Anyways, I hope to see you guys at the castle,” Sadie said, gently moving between Seamus and Neville to get to the girl’s changing room. They nodded, all bidding goodbyes and then walking off.

Sadie came back into she compartment as the trained slowed to see the two boys already ready. They had even gathered up her left over candy, her book, and her money for her and put it in her backpack. She smiled widely as she threw it over her shoulder and pulled her wand out.

“Wingardium Leviosa,” she shouted, all of their luggage floating down and hitting the floor with a dull thud. The boys smiled gratefully as she shoved the wand back into her boot. They grabbed their things and started walking out.

“Boys, if I must...let’s make a pact. No matter what, no matter the house the secrets the circumstances, no matter what life throws at us we’ll do it together,” Sadie mumbled, feeling like she had to make them promise. She knew that there wasn’t a way to stop them if they figured out, but maybe if they promised it’ll make it harder to leave her.

“Agreed,” they said at the same time as they stepped off the train. Sadie smiled, the brightest smile she’s ever had. She knew, that once she stepped into that castle everything was change. And she was ready.

Ron, Sadie, and Harry stood near the front, waiting for the woman named Professor McGonagall to come back with a stool and the sorting hat. From where she stood she could see the Weasley twins sitting at the edge of the table. They were already looking at her and the boys, so she waved. They energetically waved back-maybe a little too energetically. Fred smacked some boy in the face. She giggled before turning her attention back to the two beside her, leaving her back facing towards the red head who was apologizing to some innocent bystander.

“So, the rumors are true. The famous Harry Potter was on the train, and is actually at Hogwarts,” a familiar voice exclaimed, making her head snap up. She saw the platinum blonde that had been her friend since birth. It ached, seeing the boy. Apparently, he hadn’t noticed her yet. “This is Crabbe and Goyle,”—he threw his thumb towards the two boys(one which still had at least ten pimples covering his face)—“And I’m Malfoy. Draco Malfoy.”

Ron snickered and Sadie ducked behind a random black haired girl, trying to stay out of Draco’s sight. She didn’t want to break the arrangement, but it’d be easier if he didn’t see her. Apparently, she sucked at staying out and away from these things.

“Think my name’s funny, do ya?! No need to ask yours-red hair and a hand-me-down robe...you must be a WEASLEY!” Draco jeered, and Sadie’s blood started to boils. Sure, she just met Ron and she’s known Draco her whole life. But, even if she didn’t know Ron, she would’ve been angry. For one, the Weasley family weren’t bad, from what she’s read. And secondly, nothing gives you the right to treat someone like that.

“Shut it, Dra-Malfoy,” Sadie ordered defensively as she moved around the girl and in front of Ron. She knew he was smiling, and that his ears were tinted pink. The boy honestly looked like she’d jabbed him in the throat but quickly shook it away. He faced Harry again, even though she could see the way he was lightly hurt.

“Soon you’ll learn that there are some witches and wizard you want to associate with...and others,”—he jerked his head towards Ron and Sadie-“that you don’t. You don’t want to go making friends with the wrong sort.” Sadie felt her heart crack at that. They agreed to go their seprate ways, but why was Draco being such an arse?! Draco held out his hand to Harry, before saying “I can help you with that.”

“I think I can tell the wrong sort for myself, thanks,” Harry responded calmly, causing Sadie and Ron to snort. Draco snapped her head at her, and she could see it all. She felt terrible, but she didn’t get to do anything. Professor McGonagall walked forward, a rolled up piece of parchment paper in her hand. She poked Draco with it, and he silently walked away.

“The sorting hat will determine what Hogwarts house you belong in. You could be Hufflepuff, house of the patient and the loyal. Or Ravenclaw, house of the wise and intelligent. Or you could be sorted into Slytherin. The house for the cunning and the ambitious. Or will you be sorted into last but most certainly not least, Gryffindor. The house for the daring, the brave, and the chivalrous. While at Hogwarts your house will be like your family, and throughout the year there will be a house contest. If you are an excellent student then you gain points for your house. But if you disrespect teachers and the rules points will be takes from your house. In the end of the year the points will be tallied and the house with the most points will win the House Cup,” Professor McGonagall shouted, everybody silent the entire time. Ron started making faces and Sadie had to look away so she didn’t laugh. She watched as McGonagall sat the hat on the stool.

“I will call your name, and you will come up, sit on the stool and be sorted! Please listen closely, we don’t need a repeat of last year with what happened with Fred and George Weasley, and Lee Jordan,” she yelled, looking over at the Gryffindor table. The whole room burst into laughter, other than the first years who had no idea what they were talking about. Finally, McGonagall started calling out names.

“ABBOTT, HANNAH!” She called put and a red headed, shy girl slowly crept towards the stool. She sat down and the hat was slowly placed onto her head. Not even a minute later the whole hall echoed with the word HUFFLEPUFF. She stepped down and scampered towards the yellow table.

Sadie zones out, daydreaming as she waited to hear her name or a name that sounded familiar. Finally, when she was about to give up and completely give in to fanasty land she heard a name.

“MALFOY, DRACO!” The bleach blonde walked up, fixing his robes as he turned to face us. Sadie already knew what house he’d be in, only because she knew about how the hat decided and what he wanted. SLYTHERIN! The word rang in her head as he walked to the green clad table.

“GRANGER, HERMIONE!” Sadie watched as the know-it-all girl walked up, sitting down on the stool elegantly. The hat hummed, making small comments here and there. Better be...GRYFFINDOR! The hats voice filled everybody’s ears as she got down and McGonagall didn’t waste a second callling the next. NEVILLE LONGBOTTOM”

GRYFFINDOR. It rang loud and proud as he tried to scamper down the steps with the hat still on. McGonagall quickly jumped, grabbing it from his head as he tripped and groaned. Everybody grimaced, except a few people from Slytherin, a few from Ravenclaw, and two from Gryffindor. Oh, and the three form Hufflepuff who had been laughing at every mistake.

“WEASLEY, RONALD!” Sadie watched as her red head friend stepped up, slowly lowering himself onto the stool. Everybody could see his nervous, afraid face. The hat started humming, commenting on how he was another Weasley. GRYFFINDOR! Ron let out a laugh that signaled relief. He walked towards the Gryffindor table, high-fiving George.

“POTTER, HARRY!” The hall went silent, everybody staring at him. He walked forward, and the hate dropped above his head. He took a little longer than the others, five minutes. You could hear him muttering and whispering until finally he was silent. GRYFFINDOR! Sadie clapped loudly, sending the boy a smile. He smiled back and jogged towards Ron.

“CHANG, CHO!” The girl with black hair that she had hid behind when Draco was there stepped up, sitting on the stool. The hat had barely been in her head ten seconds when it made up its mind. RAVENCLAW! Sadie clapped lazily, waiting for the next person.

“RIDDLE-LESTRANGE, SADIE!” All heads turned towards her, everybody focusing on her. She slowly walked forward, sinking onto the stool. *Great, know everybody in the blood school knows!* she thought to herself. The hat started talking, but unlike the other times he spoke clear so everybody in the hall heard him.

“Hmm...yes very loyal. Serves one cause, and wouldn’t leave anybody behind...would die for what you believe in, very loyal,”he hummed, as if he was digging through her brain. She let him do his thing, sitting quiet and still. “Very clever, witty. Intelligent. Very intelligent. Got a good student here, the best of the best is my bet. Yes, very wise.” He laughed, making her ears tint pink. She couldn’t believe this, why was he so vocal during hers?

“Ah, yes. Very ambitious. Ooh. You, Miss Lestrange, are overly cunning. You seem to be exactly like your mother,” he exclaimed, causing her body to go numb. Like her mother? Like a killer? A torturer? A murder? Like a death eater?! She pushed the thought away, listening to him continue. “Aaah, there it is. Daring. All of it. Very brave, would stand up to anyone for anything. Really chivalrous,” he stated, his voice echoing throughout the hall.

‘Not Slytherin, Not Slytherin’ was all she could think. She didn’t want to be any more like her mother and her father like she already was. Luckily, she didn’t look like them, but she still felt like them. The hat ‘ooh’d and shook on her head.

“Not Slytherin, ay? Why’s that? Why not Slytherin?” He said aloud, causing her to want to throw him in what muggles called a blender and turn him into a smoothie. She refused to answer, thinking it. He hummed and nodded. “Don’t want to be like them? Don’t want to be like you father, your mother?” He called out, causing her fist to clench. She knew everybody could see, everybody could hear.

“Well, you’d do amazingly well in Slytherin. You’d do great actually,” the hat sang, causing all her muscles to be on edge. She couldn’t do anything, just sat there. Her head shook in the slightest motion, causing the hat to sigh. “Very well then...guess it better be...GRYFFINDOR!”

As soon as the hat was off her head she jumped from the stool. There wasn’t many claps, wasn’t many hollers. She knew that everybody was staring and she couldn’t take it. She quickly slid between Fred and George, across from Ron and Harry. As the Sorting began to pick back up again she laid her head on the table, not daring to look up.

Sadie was right on top of Percy, the Prefect, so she’d be the first into the Common Room. She couldn’t face the few people she’d made friends with, not after that. People had already started it. She had already been shoved, insulted, and called ‘Filthy Death Eater’. As soon as he told her where the Girl’s Dormitory was she started running for it. But, Fred gripped her wrist and pulled her back.

“Wait,” he whispered, holding her so she wouldn’t run off. Sadie squirmed in the older boy’s arms, trying to shake him off. Not that she wasn’t strong, the boy was just much taller and a year older. Also, there wasn’t much she could do when her hands are stuck behind her head and her legs are short.

“Okay, everybody’s gone,” Fred called out. Most of the people she had already met came out, which included Neville, George, Hermione, Harry, and Ron. She continued to squirm, trying to break free. Fred sat her down on the couch and everybody stood around her. Fred and George sat on either side of her, wands gripped in hand since they knew a few jinxs in case she tried to run. “Why didn’t you tell us?” Fred asked quietly.

“I just c-couldn’t. I-I...My parents have done so much to hurt people, and seein’ N-Neville and H-Harry made it worse since I-I know w-what th-they did. And I-I thought you guys w-would hate m-me,” she stuttered, tears welling up and slowly falling down her cheeks. Slowly the twins dropped their wands and both gave her a sad smile. “A-And...W-we just met and...I’ve only e-ever had o-one friend a-and we just w-went o-our sepr-rate ways. A-and since w-we just m-met I th-thought there w-would be a b-bigger possibility o-of you guys h-hatin’ me and I-I just couldn’t do it. It hurts too much,” she whimpered, earning sad smiles from them all.

“So what if we just met? That doesn’t mean that we don’t care about you already. And who cares about who your parents were?” Neville mumbled, and that felt like a stab to the heart. Her mother tortured his parents, used crucio until they went mad. She looked down and Fred awkwardly wrapped an arm around her shoulder, rubbing her arm slowly. It was an awkward and simple gesture, but it relaxed her more than you would think.

“Besides. It doesn’t matter how your parents are or were, it doesn’t matter what they’ve done, what they’re doin, or what they’re going to do. What matters is how you go on. What matters is how you treat each scenario thrown at you,” George whispered, causing her lips to form a very thin, barely-there smile. Tears still rolled down her cheeks, but she was feeling better.

“Hey, remember what we said when we got off the train? No matter what, we go through it together. Did you really think this would change that?” Harry asked. She looked down, and everybody gave a sad smile when they realized you weren’t sobbing as bad. They all started talking, ending up with her laughing loudly.

“Thank you guys,” she whispered, her eyes getting droopy. It had been two last time she checked, and she hadn’t slept the night before. So, to say she was sleepy was an understandment. Crying herself out just made her realize it. The last thing she remembered before falling asleep was Hermione grabbing her wand, lifting her up and Fred whispering goodnight to the young girl.

“SADIE!” The girl jerked up, gripping the wand that’s been in her hand since the Triwizard Tournament. She looked around, and realized it was only her friends. The twins sat on either side of her, while Hermione, Harry, and Ron sat across from them.

“You fell asleep. We let you sleep for a while, but we’re almost to Hogwarts,” Fred stated before she even had the chance to ask. She nodded slowly, smiling at the boy. Most people that were close with her-mostly girls- could see that she liked him. But, she always denied it because she didn’t want to fall in love.

No...she couldn’t fall in love. She can’t fall in love. Sadie can’t afford to fall in love, she can’t get hurt anymore. Sadie has been down this road before, she has to push away all feelings. Too much happens when you fall in love. The cycle is endless and cruel.

Sadie has learned that when you love, you get hurt. When you get hurt, you hate. When you hate, you try to forget. When you try to forget, you start missing. And then...when you start missing you fall in love all over again.

She’s done this before she can’t afford to get hurt again. Yet, here she is, falling head-over-heels for Hogwarts number one prankster. Sadie leaned against George’s shoulder despite his protest and threw her feet in Fred’s lap, with Hermione in a similar position with Harry and Ron.

“Well then, I must thank you for your kindness, My Prince.” She joked, using the boys nickname she gave him. Sadie finally answered after what felt like forever but in reality, was only a couple of seconds.

“Anything for you, my Lover Girl,” he replied causally, yet in a teasing way. Sadie hopes nobody noticed the way she tensed at the nickname, or the way her ears slightly tinted pink under her long blonde hair.

Of course, Hermione and George-the two sly, observant jerks- noticed and had to hide their smirks. They both knew you more than anybody else-well...that’s a lie. Someone used to know her more. The boy that she’s forgotten all about ever since third year, the boy she completely erased from her mind.

But, at the moment, they knew the most about her. And they both knew that she loved Fred. No, not fancy him. Loved him. Even if she tried to fight it, they knew. They just had to find a way to make her break her pact.

“Okay Lovebirds. Get a room, you’re making me sick,” Ron teased, which brought Sadie to acting like a little kid. Sadie was funny, silly, and kid-like girl. Which is why she stuck her tongue out at the red-head.

“You’re like a child,” George stated playfully, his smirk still a ghosting his lips. The train slowed until it stopped, which by now Sadie had turned and stuck her tongue at George. He chuckled and pushed he rolled her off him and into the floor.

“Jerk!” She huffed, getting to her feet and dusting her robe off. They all laughed as they stood up, grabbing their luggage. Sadie swung her backpack over her shoulder, opening the door.

“Well, let’s see what this year holds! Rather it’s fighting an army, or a teacher with two faces. We go through it together,” she smiled, and they all nodded. She crossed her arms, stepping off the train.

Fred stepped off the train after her, standing by her side. He looked down at her, a soft smile on his lips. He opened his mouth, and whispered softly, “Together.”
