A/N This is my first attempt to write a story (fan fiction) and i hope you will all like it. Reviews are much appreciated. I'm also just going on a whim here and see how the story develops so the next chapter might take a while to come, also because im in the middle of finals. Anyways, I hope you all like it once again and happy reading everyone :) side-note: the story takes place in the 6th year.
disclaimer: i don't own harry potter or anything associated with it . its all made by the wonderful J. . this is just my fanfiction of it :)
Blaise Zabini walked back from Slughorn's compartment on the train. "Such a waste of time." He pulled his shirt down and walked effortlessly through the train hall. "Hey Zabini!" Blaise merely nodded to the 5th year Slytherin. Finally he found the compartment he was looking for. Malfoy had his head in Parkinsons lap. Blaise snickered as he went to sit opposite them. A moment of silence was held until Malfoy spoke up. "What was that all about Zabini?" Blaise looked to his left, he was sure the bench he sat down went down for a split second. "The new Potions teacher, a professor Slughorn, invited several students to his compartment for a cup of tea." Blaise mumbled, already getting bored just remembering the entire thing. Draco shot his sidewards to look at Blaise. "Who else was there?" Blaise sighed, already tired of this conversation, "Longbottom, Cormac Mclaggen, Belby, Potter, and the Weasley girl." Parkinson kept running her fingers through Malfoy's hair as she finally looked up. "i heard the Weasley girl has gotten more attractive, what do you think Blaise? Maybe even for you although you're very hard to please." "Wouldn't touch a blood traitor even if it was the death of me." Pansy cackled while Malfoy closed his eyes again. "Its gonna be a long year" Draco whispered. Blaise looked out the window into the dark clouds. Tell me about it.
"There you are," Ron said as he tried to talk with a mouth stuffed with pumpkin pasties, "Where's Harry?" Ginny sat down next to Hermione, "I have no idea, he just ran off. Said he would catch up soon." Hermione flicked through her newspaper, as usual. Ginny started talking about Slughorn's meeting. "Why would Zabini be invited? " Ron squeeled after his mouth was finally free. "Apparently his mother is very beautiful. Slughorn complimented his mother's looks for a fair while. His mother has married 7 times, each time her husbands die mysteriously leaving her and Blaise tons of money in their wills." Ginny shrugged. "Mysteriously, yeah sure," Ron mumbled before he picked up a chocolate frog. Hermione shook her head at him and looked out. "The weather is just horrifying! I wonder how the first years will be able to go by boat this year!" "Hey guys!" Neville and Luna came in, both seating themselves next to Ron. "Did you hear about the new girl?" Hermione giggled. "Neville there are many new boys and girls this year, like every year, remember?" she smiled at him. "I know Hermione, but this one isn't a first year. I heard she's with us in our year!" Luna nodded, "We talked to her. She's very pretty. Almost like ... a princess" she said in her dreamy voice. Hermione shook her head, still smiling. "I wonder what house she will be in" Luna continued. "I wonder why she came so late." Ginny whispered.
Caterina focused her grey eyes at the girl opposite her. The girl was talking animately, giving Caterina genuine smiles. Caterina smiled back. "So what house would you like to be sorted in?' the girl asked. From the girl's blue and bronze skirt Caterina could tell she was a Ravenclaw. "I don't really know. Haven't thought about it." She didn't need to think about it. Caterina sighed, Her long lashes touching her cheeks as she closed her eyes. She was tired, and even nervous. Her godmother said it was just for a little while. The girl finally stood up. "It was nice meeting you Caterina," she smiled again. "Please, call me Cat," Caterina smiled. The girl nodded, still smiling, "I'll let you get ready now Cat, we're almost there". "Good bye Cho," she answered as Cho Chang walked away.
The train had stopped. Blaise and Pansy stood up, ready to leave. "You guys go on ahead," Draco was looking up for some reason. "I'll catch up." Pansy shrugged and started walking, Blaise following. The 'Golden trio' and their friends were ahead of them, although Potter was missing. They were all gawking into a compartment. Blaise smirked. As they got closer pansy spoke up. "That must be the new girl." And indeed it was. Blaise saw her, her full chestnut hair waist length. Her heart shaped face the holding the most beautiful features known to mankind. She was talking with some girls, all of them in awe. At least thos Gryffindors know good taste when they see it. "Alright everyone keep moving!" blaise shouted. The girl looked at him and smiled. He nodded to her andd started walking behind the now moving crowd. "Is she your type, Zabini?" Pansy snickered. Blaise's face crunched up in disgust. "No way parkinson"
Malfoy half ran half walked away from the compartment. The train was empty now. Sweat rolled over his cheek. As he walked out he bumped into someone. "Owh" the girl gasped just as she looked up. Grey met grey. Her left shoulder still on his chest, and so was the side of her hand. Malfoy was panting, his chest falling up and down. "Mr. Malfoy, how pleasent of you to ... bump in." Snape looked at Malfoy. "Nice to see you again sir." Draco looked back to the girl again. She was still looking at him through her big eyes. "Do me a favor Draco and guide miss Caterina to the Great Hall where she is to be sorted. "Yes, sir" Draco nodded and turned to walk. "Nice to meet you Draco Malfoy." The girl smiled at him. "pleasure is all mine, Caterina ...? " he stalled, not knowing her last name. She laughed and looked back at him. "Zabini. Caterina Zabini."
