Harry and Bathsheba Potter
Chapter 1: Meeting Bathsheba
Draco stared out the window of the Hogwarts express, wishing he would finally arrive at his destination, Hogwarts. His blueish-grey eyes watching the trees going by. He sighed and got up out of his seat, moving out of the compartment and going to get himself something to munch on. On his way to the shop where they sold sweets, he ran into the new girl at school, Bathsheba Potter. She fell backwards and dropped all the sweets she had in her arms. He gulped and pulled her up, "I'm sorry..I didn't see you there.." She glared at him, "Yea..right.."she picked up her sweets and returned to the compartment where her brother and his friends were.
After getting his sweets, Draco returned to his compartment where his bodyguards where and dug into his sweets. They watched him with big eyes, "Draco..aren't you going to..share..?" Crabbe looked at him quizzidly. He looked up at them and glared, "Do you really think so? Well then I'll answer that one..NO!" he returned to eating his sweets containing every flavoured beans, chocolate frogs and many more delectable sweets.
After an hour or so the train arrived at Hogwarts, letting the children off. Rubeus Hagrid came over to the train with a large smile on his chubby face, "Firs' year' 'come wit' me" he told them gently. All the first years including Harry, Ron, Hermione, Draco and Bathsheba followed him to the boats. Draco watched Bathsheba intently. She glared back at him, her eyes full of hatred. He looked away and stared at Harry. Harry looked back at him and gave him a little wave. Draco snorted and looked away, watching his two bodyguards making fools of themselves.
When they finally got to Hogwarts the first years filed into a single line to be put into their houses. Minerva Mcgonagall stood in front of them, parchment of their names in hand, "First person is.." she began. Hermione looked around and without noticing took Piper's hand, "Please don't pick me..." Piper blinked and looked at her, "What are you doing?" Hermione blushed and pulled her hand away, "Sorry..by the way my name is Hermione Granger.." The other girl smiled at her, "My names Piper Halliwell Jinn.." Professor Mcgonagall continued, "Hermione Granger!" Hermione sighed and went to the front sitting down on the chair. The sorting hat became animated once placed on the girls head, "Hmm..let's see..this one can be only put in..GRYFFINDOR!" She gasped and ran over to the Gryffindor table, taking a seat.
It was Piper's turn, the sorting hat didn't even give a second thought, "GRYFFINDOR!" She smiled and strode over to Hermione, sitting beside her.
Just say that Bathsheba, Ron and Harry were put into Gryffindor and Draco was put into Slytherin. Then one day Mcgonagall came up to and spoke, "Bathsheba...the sorting hat made a mistake..your suppose to be in Slytherin..not Gryffindor.." she handed her the robes, "The password for the common room is Deadly Sins." with that she left. Bathsheba looked down at the clothes that Mcgonagall gave to her, 'Me..in..Slytherin..? This CAN'T be happening..'
Bathsheba slowly made her way to the Slytherin common room and said the password to the painting and it slid over for her. She slowly stepped in and looked around, no one was in sight. Bathsheba sighed in relief and sat down in one of the comfy chairs next to the fire. A file of Slytherin slowly came into the common room and whispered to each other, "Who is she..isn't she a Gryffindor..we don't want her here.." she heard them whisper. Bathsheba sighed lightly and stared into the flames of the fire. Draco Malfoy came into the common room and stopped, "Well, well what do we have here?" he glanced at Bathsheba, "The girl in the train..and your name would be..?" he slowly strode over to her. She looked up into his blueish-grey eyes, "Bathsheba..and you?" He smirked and extended his hand, "Draco..Draco Malfoy." Bathsheba smiled lightly and took his hand, "Nice to meet you Draco.." One of the girls burst into laughter, "Bathsheba! What kind of name is THAT? Take a Bath Sheba your smelling up the place!" she laughed more. Bathsheba looked down at her feet, feeling very hurt. Draco growled a warning at the girl, "Don't insult our new member of Slytherin.." he moved over and sat beside Bathsheba, "Don't mind her..she's a little..jealous.." The girl snorted and left the common room.
Draco and Bathsheba talked for a couple of hours until class started and they walked together to Potions class. Bathsheba took a seat next to her brother Harry and Draco sat between his two goons as per usual. Melissandra slowly made her way into the classroom, her glasses sliding down her nose and her books almost falling. Professor Snape snorted and glared at her, "Late again Miss Valentine..detention with me after class..now take your seat." She nodded and took her seat next to Piper and Hermione. Bathsheba looked over at her in pity, 'Poor girl..she probably doesn't have any friends..maybe I should go talk to her'..Bathsheba slowly got up and walked casually over to Melissandra, "Hi, my name is Bathsheba..do you want to be friends?" Melissandra looked up at her with ocean blue eyes, "S-sure.." she pushed her glasses up her nose, "Want to hang out after my detention?" Bathsheba nodded eagerly and strode back to her spot next to Harry.
Hours passed..well not hours..about one and class was finally over. Bathsheba rushed over to the Great Hall to get a good seat at the table. When she got there the only place left was beside Draco. Bathsheba slowly made her way over to the Slytherin table and squeezed in between Goyle and Draco. Draco gave her a welcoming smile, but Goyle snorted and glared at her. She moved closer to Draco, scared. He smile comfortingly at her and put his arm around her. Bathsheba blushed and leaned against Draco. Draco smiled and hugged her close, "I won't let them hurt you.." he glared at Crabbe and Goyle. They both moved away from their "master".
Piper and the gang
"So your favourite colour is green?" Hermione exclaimed. Piper nodded and smiled at the other girl, "Your favourite colour is..?" She smiled, "Mines blue...ocean blue..like your eyes.." Piper blushed and smiled back at the brunette. Melissandra looked down at her untouched food and drink and sighed I wish Bathsheba was here..she wouldn't ignore me like them..she's my only friend..Melissandra slowly made her way to the Slytherin table and tapped Bathsheba lightly on the shoulder, "Hey.." Bathsheba looked up and gave her a welcoming smile, "Hey Meli Mel..meet my new friend Draco.." Draco looked up at her with cold blue-ish grey eyes, "Hello..Melissandra.." he sneered. Melissandra looked down, "I can see when I'm not wanted.." she sighed and walked away slowly back to her table.
It was the day that Slytherin was going against Gryffindor for the Quidditch finals. The whole school was there for this event, from Gryffindor to Hufflepuff to Ravenclaw to Slytherin. After a couple of minutes the game started. Bathsheba stood on the side lines, wearing a Gryffindor cheerleading outfit, "YEA GO GRYFFINDOR!" Everyone stopped what they were doing, including the people playing and Slytherin and stared at her. She blushed and put her hands down, realizing why they were staring at her. Bathsheba quickly changed into a Slytherin cheerleading outfit and threw away the Gryffindor one. She smiled nervously and added, "Go..Slytherin?" Draco shook his head and chuckled, continuing to play Quidditch.
The game ended that Slytherin won 160 to 50 because Draco caught the golden snitch and won it for them. Draco slowly made his way over to where Bathsheba was standing and slid his arm around her shoulders, "It's not only because of me we won this..it's because of your cheering," he kissed her cheek softly and added, "you should do it more often.." he added, starting to walk away. Draco stopped and turned to the blushing brunette, "Do you want to join me at the Yule ball tomorrow night..like..come as my date..?" he smiled and winked at her. Bathsheba blushed and nodded, "S-sure..D-draco.." He winked again and left. Her cheeks became bright red. Hermione and Piper came over to her, broad smiles on their faces, "We have great news!" Piper began, "We're going out! But please don't tell anyone.." she blushed. Bathsheba blushed and smiled, "I won't tell..as long as you don't tell my brother that Draco Malfoy asked me to the dance tomorrow night!" Piper squealed and hugged her friend, "OH MY GOD! We have to so get you ready tomorrow! Let's go Hermione!" with that Piper grabbed Bathsheba by the arm and dragged her into the school. This was going to be a party that no one will forget.
