Disturbing The Princess ((Liam))

[Adalia St John S5]

“I can’t believe my little princess is going to Hogwarts already.” Adalia’s father said beaming down at her the morning of September first 1997. She simply grinned and continued to eat her strawberries and whipped cream. When it come time for him to leave though Adalia gave her father a hug goodbye and a quick kiss on the cheek as he looked down at her as if she were the most wonderful creature ever – which to him she was. That was a lot of how Adalia had learnt to get whatever she wanted – you just have to play off other people’s weaknesses – and her father’s was thinking that she’s an angel. He was right in some way though – she was a princess.

She waved as her father got into the car and drove off to work before racing up to her bedroom. She double-checked that everything she needed had been packed into her trunk and had an elf that had studied the art of being a mediwitch look over her injuries one last time – just to make sure all traces of the Diagon attack had vanished from her body. She was still fuming that she had gotten hurt. She was Adalia Claire René Gabrielle St John she should not be hurt by things like that. Those attacks were meant against mudblood filth and blood traitors – both of which she was as far as possible from. There was nothing she could really do about it though – and that’s what bothered her most of all. She had been taken care of by the best mediwitches money could provide but she hadn’t gotten her revenge and she feared she never would. This had lead to her taking her frustrations out on anyone who had the misfortune of coming her way – she was not used to being denied.

At ten o’clock Adalia meet her mother down in the entrance hall of their home and got into the back of a luxury car as the driver put Adalia’s trunk in the back. They arrived at King’s Cross by ten thirty and the driver put the trunk on a trolley and followed Gabrielle and Adalia onto platform nine and three quarters. “Goodbye Mummy. I will see you over Christmas break.” Adalia said sweetly as she kissed her mother on the cheek before climbing onto the train and glaring at the driver. “Could you possibly go any slower?” Adalia snarled at the man who was panting out of breath from the weight of the trunk. She then turned on her heel and walked down the hall until she found an empty compartment. “Put it up there.” She ordered pointing at the rack above her seat to the driver when he finally arrived. He did so without a word as Adalia stretched out with her back resting against the window and her feet up on the seat. Adalia then removed a book from her purse and began to read as the door slammed shut after the driver. She winced at the sound and made a mental note to write home about having him punished for his insolence before returning to her book.

[Liam Angelus G5]

Liam sat at the kitchen table eating his breakfast his aunt made. He wasn't really hungry, but his aunt made him eat something before he left for King Cross Station and the Hogwarts Express. He finished the last bit of his eggs and headed back up to his room and finished packing his trunk. Liam called for one of the house elves, and said, "Take my trunk downstairs."

Liam went back downstairs after the elf left the room. Liam wasn't sure if he wanted to return back to school this year since he had not received word about his grandfather's health. Once he reached the end of the stairs, he saw his aunt waiting by the front entrance. "Do you have everything?" his aunt asked as he reached her. "Yes, it's all in my trunk," he replied easily.

His aunt opened the door and moved the trunk toward the car. Liam walked out to the car and sat in the backseat. Liam waited for his aunt to get in a start the car. The car ride to the station took half an hour, that was spent in total silence until they reached King Cross. "We are here, Liam," his aunt said. "Go get yourself a trolley while I get a your trunk out."

Liam got out of the car and got the nearest trolley and returned to the car where his aunt had already took his trunk out. Liam put his trunk on the trolley and said goodbye to his aunt before he pushed the trolley toward the platform. Liam checked to make sure nobody was watching him before he crossed onto Platform 9 and 3/4. Liam went straight into the first train car and looked for a compartment.

When he came to the first compartment he saw a girl younger than he was. He looked in and said, "You care if I join you?" Liam waited for her to respond while he stood in the doorway of the compartment.

[Adalia St John S5]

Adalia looked up with vague interest as a boy asked entry to her compartment. He appeared to be older but that was all she could infer about him at present. Granted Adalia had in her mind a list of the literal Who’s Who in the wizarding world but that could only be put into play when she knew more about the person that just that they are an older male attending Hogwarts… She coked her eyebrow at him before turning to look out the window at all the people still filling into the train. “I suppose you could if you wanted to. I mean there is no way I could really prevent it, now is there?” She asked tartly not looking at him. The way her eyes were trained away from him could be mistaken as her simply being shy because it was her first year to one who did not know her. To anybody who did have access to her company prior though would know better; she was simply being rude, not caring one way or the other about him and therefore was not giving him the respect of looking at him. Adalia had a tendency to be rude, neither intentionally nor by accident. She was simply far too apathetic to put in the effort one-way or the other.
