Slytherin Ties

Summary- Sarah is entering her 6th year at Hogwarts. She is a prefect and like any other girl, is after another blonde haired slytherin. As prefect she is able to get clsoe to him, but the closer she gets it seems, the farther away her friends seem to be.

Chapter 1

Sarah was waiting at Platform 9 ¾ while waiting for her friends. She was returning for her 6th year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. She was also a prefect. She was scanning the platform with her sea green eyes for her friends. While looking, she sees a platinum blonde ahead. Her heart gave a leap. It was none other than Draco Malfoy. She had liked him forever. Of course, so did nearly every other girl in the school, so she knew she would get no where with him. She was studying from afar, his perfect hair, his beautiful eyes, perfect face, perfect body, perfect…

"Sarah!" She turned around to the familiar voice of her best friend Lara. They hugged tightly. It had been so long since she last seen her. They were both too busy over to summer to visit, but kept in touch by owl. "I missed you so much Lara!"

"Oh my god I missed you too."

"Will you two just get over it? It was only a couple of months." The sarcastic voice of their best friend Hartigan called. They both turned around to their guy friends, Jack and Hartigan.

"Hey I want some lovin'!" Lara laughed. Sarah went over to hung Jack and Hartigan.

The train whistle blew and everyone frantically boarded the train. No one wanted to be stuck with out a compartment. The four friends found an empty compartment not fair back and sat down. The train lurched forward and soon the station was no longer in view.

"Sorry guys, I can't stay long… Prefect and Heads meeting." Sarah left to the front compartment and slid it open to find Draco already sitting there.

"Well, well, I guess it won't be too bad seeing as how you are prefect. The rounds might even be… interesting." Draco drawled. Sarah smirked and sat down next to him. All the other prefects soon filed in, even the nearly un-bearable know-it-all-Hermione Granger with her friend Ron Weasly.

The head boy and head girl followed in suit and sat down immediately talking about the letters that had been sent to them.

"Every one of us will patrol the corridors from 10 p.m. to midnight every night. Anyone found out will be directed back to their common room. Anyone caught broom racing will be reported to their head of house. Use common sense when deciding whether or not to fetch a professor. Anyone abusing their privilege as prefect will also suffer consequences. That is all for now. Don't forget to patrol tonight. You may leave now."

Everyone filed out. Sarah and Draco were at the tail end of the line when he whispered in her ear "Oh I can't wait to patrol the alls tonight." Although he said this sarcastically, Sarah couldn't help but wonder exactly what he meant by that.

The castle was soon in sight and Sarah changed into her robes, with her prefect badge shining over her chest. She went back to the compartment where her three friends were talking about the summer.

"Wow we thought you'd never get back." Hartigan replied.

"What can I say? It was a long meeting." Sarah sat down and quieted her owl Fiver.

The train soon arrived at the castle. Hogwarts was absolutely beautiful at night. Sarah felt like she could stand their looking at it forever, but was even more eager to get inside to start the feast.

Hagrid could be heard directing the first years his way while she and the other prefects directed everyone to the carriages drawn by threstrals. Sarah knew why she, like so few other students could see them. It was because she had witnessed her grandmother die. Although it was not tragic, her grandmother was old, but it still hurt her inside to be able to see them.

Sarah got into a carriage where she once again met up with Lara, Hartigan, and Jack. She told them about her summer (like they hadn't already heard from her owl posts.) Sarah wasn't really a hermit. She got along with just about everyone she talked to (even the rival Gryphindors.) Only one person she could hardly stand was Pansy Parkinson. She loathed her. Pansy annoyed her in the simplest of ways and was such a bimbo. Sarah couldn't believe Draco even talked to her.

Sarah felt close, yet distant in a way, to her friends. She told them about Draco and they all knew that she was absolutely crazy about him.

"You never know, he may just like you, especially since you're not like all the other googily eyed girls that follow him." Lara said.

"Yea you're a lot hotter than them… definitely filled out this year!" Jack replied. Sarah knew she did grow a little over the summer. She also noticed more people staring at her, but it was nice to actually get a comment, even if it was from her best friend.

At the castle, everyone filled into the Great Hall and sat at their house tables. Sarah looked up at the night sky. Clear and very starry. Down the table, Sarah could hear Draco bragging about his summer vacation and wondered if he meant what he said on the train. 'Why does he always sound like he's bragging all the time?'
