Chapter 1

Going into my sixth year of Hogwarts I knew things would never be the same after the fight between Voldemort and Harry Potter.
Now me, my story is not as difficult as Harry's but it's still up there in the many problems in life. My name is Christina Black, I'm the daughter of Sirius Black and am from a family of Purebloods, who, unfortunately for me, hate my guts.
Why? Oh, it's nothing big, it's just that after my whole entire family has been in Slytherin for centuries, I happened to be placed in Gryffindor just like my dad. But seeing as I have never lived with him, I had to live with my dear uncle Reg. God help that man. I swear he hates me the most.
I knew that this year would be both difficult and different for me because not only did my dad pass away, (or get horribly murdered by Bellatrix Lestrange, and I just so happened to see it all), but Harry has been acting completely different.
As for me, well, nothing new really happened to me, I'm just constantly studying all the time with Hermione so I can get a high mark in Potions this year so I can become an auror. Hermione finally decided to see if Ron would take her hints into her liking him and it doesn't even surprise me that he doesn't notice.
Harry, on the other hand, has taken a liking to Ginny, and I believe that only me and Hermione have noticed this sudden liking.
As for me, I'm single and actually haven't liked anyone since me and Seamus broke it off right before O.W.L's last year, and I seem to be okay with that.
I just finished writing in my journal when I hear the compartment door open and I, not paying any attention of course, don't look up at all when someone asks, "Is it okay if I sit here with you for a bit, Pansy, Crabbe, and Goyle keep following me and it's driving me nuts."

I know that voice.

"Draco?" I look up to see none other than Draco Malfoy, with his sleek blonde hair and green-blue eyes, looking at me.
"Yeah. Um, Christina right?" He asks.
"Yeah. Um, Christina Black."
I looked up at Draco who had a small smile on his face, God I hate it when he smiles. I then gestured that he could sit down across from me. When he sat down, I looked towards the door waiting for Hermione to come by, but she never did.

She must be doing Prefect duty still.

Soon it was time to change into our robes. Draco left and I shut the door and locked it, (or so I thought) and when I was putting on my top, Draco came in.
"So Chris- Oh my sorry!"
"Turn around you git!"
He then turned the other way, I fixed my uniform up so that it looked okay and so Draco wouldn't think anything bad about it.

Wait, what am I thinking? I don't care what he thinks, he's a Slytherin and not to mention, Harry's arch enemy.

"So now that we're dressed may I come in and sit down now?" he said smartly.
"Haha very funny. Yes you can come in now." I laughed.
We ate treats off the trolley and talked the whole way to Hogwarts. Of course no one knew or would ever know of this whole thing.
While we were talking, I realized that this was a rare thing and made the best out of it. He told me of how he was made a Death Eater for revenge on his father from the Dark Lord and how he didn't want this, that the mission he was given, he didn't want to do.
I told him of how my father had died and I barely even knew him, he held my hand and told me that he was sorry for his aunt doing this to me, and then I realized that this would probably be the only moment that I would share with Draco ever again.
That was before I knew what was in store for me and Draco's future...
