Bella James quietly boarded the Hogwarts express and shuffled into an empty compartment. It was her fifth year and she was used to the goodbyes and the tears. However, her friends weren't and took years practically to get onto the train. "Finally, Amber, take long enough?" Bella asked as her friend pushed into her compartment. Bella's long brown hair and dark brown eyes were complemented by Amber's lack of beauty. Bella was astonishingly beautiful and practically perfect to the last hair on her head. Tough competition.
The rest of the girls entered the compartment: Annie(the smart one), Harriet(the bitch), and Jessica(the slut). Amber was the gossip and Bella was the beauty. All of the girls giggled for the were finally together after the long summer. "Bella, what did you do this summer?" asked Annie. "Not much; lounging around the pool, drinking margaritas. You?" she replied. "Why bother asking all Annie did this summer was read and we all know it," Harriet said. All the girls giggled and Bella interrupted, "fine then what did you do this summer Harriet?" Bella turned and winked at Annie before Harriet could notice. "Well our family went to Paris, it was wonderful," she said. "Amber what did you do?" Jessica asked. "Well nothing really but do you know what I heard?" she said with a smirk as everyone's attention sharpened. "Well I heard that we are going to have another dance this year! And you know what else? Harry Potter and that Ginny girl broke up! He is single!" Amber shrieked. All of the girls jumped out of their seats at this news. "And you know what is even better? Draco Malfoy, the hottest guy on the planet earth, cheated on Pansy this summer and she found out! So they broke up and I heard that he has fucked at least 20 girls since!" Everyone gasped except for Bella. "Oh please, 20 girls? That's ridiculous!" Bella said as Jessica smiled. "It is not ridiculous! I got close to 20 boys! And if I can do it, he sure as hell can!" Jessica bragged. Everyone turned to look at her. "What? All of you aren't virgins except for Bella so shut it," Jessica defended. Now all eyes are on Bella. "I still can't believe it. Bella is like the prettiest girl in our grade, actually our school and no guy has jumped her bones yet," Annie stated. "Sorry I have morals and I don't want to lose it to just some guy," Bella said sternly. "Oh well are you just waiting for that special someone? Ha you probably think you could get Draco Malfoy! Ha yeah right!" Harriet laughed. "Well if any of us could have him it would be Bella so you aren't one to talk Harriet. And Jessica, you fucked his best friend Blaise right? You could totally hook them up!" Amber said. "I don't want to lose it to Draco Malfoy! And even if I did, I would be kidding myself! Especially if the 20 girls thing is true!" Bella lectured. The five girls went over the same subject of boys for the entire train ride.
Bella was the first of the five to step off of the train and see the beautiful school. She stood there for a moment too long and Annie ran right into her, knocking her down. On the damp ground, Bella rolled over on to her back, shaking with laughter. Immediately, Annie started laughing too as she helped Bella off the ground. Once Bella was on her two feet, she brushed the dirt off of her uniform and when she looked up, Draco Malfoy was one foot away staring down with a smile at her. She stood there grinning like an idiot for a moment when finally she said, "excuse me," still smiling. She turned around and mouthed 'oh my god' to Annie and Amber.
They all ran off to a carriage to talk about it of course. "Did he say anything?" asked Jessica. "What did he look like up close?" Annie questioned. "No, he didn't say anything and Annie you were right there and my god did he look good!" Bella said and all of the girls roared with laughter. Bella was starry-eyed the rest of the way while the other four girls were innocently stung with jealously.
They entered the great hall each taking seats at the Ravenclaw table. Bella had to stop and greet all of the people(mostly boys) that had obviously missed her over the summer. The other girls had to stop some too but not near as much as Bella. Which fortunately led Amber to find out that Draco Malfoy was staring at Bella. "Bella, oh my goodness, look Draco Malfoy is staring at you," Amber whispered into Bella's ear when she was laughing at one of Michael Corner's jokes. Her laugh became more of a nervous one as she glanced over at Draco to see that Amber wasn't lying. She quickly turned away blushing and told Michael she would talk to him later.
She took her seat and soon the sorting began. Bella was going crazy; Draco Malfoy was definitely just staring at her. Draco Malfoy, the most beautiful boy she had ever seen, had noticed her. A fifth year and he was a seventh! She couldn't believe it. All these thoughts were racing through her head when she snapped back to reality and realized that the sorting was done and there was food on her plate. She ate slowly as Amber talked her to death until she heard Amber say, "I bet Draco wants Bella to be his number 21." Bella gasped as the other girls giggled and she threw a bit of butter at Amber. "No way!" Amber said as she wiped it off her face. Amber was to scared to throw anything else but Bella bursted out laughing as all eyes turned on her. "Sorry," she said as she tried to keep a straight face but she ended up laughing harder.
After all of the plates were clear, Dumbledore began, "as I am sure you all have heard, in a week we will be hosting a welcome back dance in order to start a new tradition. Dress as you wish for this is not a ball. Now off to bed!"
The entire room scattered as if they had to talk to save their own lives. Bella calmly got up from her chair and glided with her friends to the exit. Five girls descended down the stairs towards their dormitory when they heard a boy's shout, "Wait! Jessica! Wait!" Blaise's voice echoed as the girls turned to see Blaise and Draco running down the stairs towards them. When the boys finally reached the girls. They had to take a moment to catch their breath. "Jessica," Blaise finally sputtered, "would you like–""What's your name?" Draco asked Bella, interrupting Blaise. "Her name is Bella now what were you saying Blaise?" Jessica answered for her and Bella flashed Draco her best smile. Draco blushed and smiled back. " I was asking you if you would like to go to the dance with me?" Blaise said. "Of course," Jessica said and kissed Blaise on the cheek. "Well, good night gentlemen, we ladies have to get our beauty sleep," Bella said hinting for Jessica to come on. "Is that so?" Draco asked Bella smirking. "Yes it is, now Blaise, Jessica will see you tomorrow," Bella said urging for them to come on before she embarrassed herself. "Well won't I be seeing you tomorrow?" Draco asked Bella as she was turning to leave. She turned around with a dashing smile and said, "you might but if I don't get my beauty rest I won't let anybody see me so sweet dreams boys," and then she blew them-Draco-a kiss. Once the girls turned the corner, Bella exclaimed, "hold me!" as she pretended to faint. "Excellent performance madam!" Amber said bowing. "Your majesty, queen Malfoy, however did you do it?" Annie said bowing also. "It was my natural charm I suppose," Bella said dramatically as she raised her chin. They giggled all the way into the dormitory and into their bedroom.
They all undressed and got into their pajamas and as Bella climbed into bed, Harriet said, "sweet dreams...about Draco!" And they all burst into their last laugh before they drifted off to sleep.
