Rochelle was woken up by birds chirping and the smell of Earl Grey tea and

Rochelle sat up in bed and yawned rubbing her eyes,

" Good morning sunshine, did you sleep well ? " She spotted Donovan standing in the bedroom doorway with a platter of eggs and bacon with a cup of Earl Grey tea

Rochelle nodded

" I made breakfast and tea " Donovan walked inside the room and set the platter on her lap

" Thank you " Rochelle smiled a bit. Donovan was a Slytherin student who didn't really fit in with the other Slytherins, he payed attention to his studies and didn't have that ' I'm better than everyone else cause I'm a pureblood ' mentality.

He was actually quite kind and gentle - which was ironic given that he was in Slytherin, though she's only known him from a distance such as in class or in the halls and so on. That is until she met him in person on the train ride to Hogwarts yesterday ...

~Flashback~

The train had just left for Hogwarts and Rochelle had been talking with Daniella and Madeline when she heard crying

" Leave me alone !! " It was a little girl's voice and it sounded close by.

Rochelle excused herself and followed the crying to a compartment where a first year girl was circled by a small pack of Slytherin second years

" Go back where you came from mudblood "

One of the boys sneered knocking the girl's things down

" I haven't done anything bad and you're just being plain mean " The 11 year old frowned crossing her arms

" Mudblood mudblood mudblood ~ " the group singsonged

" Stop right there " Rochelle scowled stepping into the compartment " Go back to your compartment and leave the girl alone " she ordered and the group sneered at her " You're not the boss of us Ravenclaw " one boy with dark brown hair sneered

" Augustus Cherrie Ceaser Alacatraz you do not speak that way to a lady or one of your elders "

The group paled and the dark brown haired boy gulped " Cousin Don ?! We were just uh - " the group ran out of the compartment and Donovan stepped in and knelt in front of the young first year girl " Sorry about them little lady, now what's your name ? " Donovan asked

" S-Sofia ... Sofia Gomez ... " the auburn haired child said

" That's a lovely name, did you know that Sofia means wisdom ? " Donovan asked

The girl nodded happily " Mom says that all the time "

" She must be a very smart lady then " Donovan smiled

" But why were they making fun of me ? " Sofia asked

" There are three wizard types; Pureblood, Halfblood and Muggleborn " Donovan explained " a Muggleborn is someone who's had no magical background, aka their parents don't have a magical bloodline. A Halfblood is someone who has a witch or wizard mother or father and a muggle or muggleborn mother or father. A Pureblood is a witch or wizard that comes from a very long line of witches and wizards, most but not all pureblood families tended to be prejudiced against Halfbloods, muggleborns, muggles and ' bloodtraitors ' "

Rochelle watched as Donovan ruffled the little girl's hair " But don't let those sorts of folks get ya down, I know someone in my year who's the brightest witch her age and she's a muggleborn. I bet she'd be happy to meet you " 

" Really ? " Sofia asked

" Uh huh "

" Thank you sir " Sofia smiled

" No trouble " Donovan got up and walked out of the compartment and Donovan smiled at her. Rochelle then wordlessly returned to her compartment

~ Flashback End ~

As she ate Rochelle absentmindedly wondered if anyone else woke up yet ...
