Don't own Harry Potter.

So…this muse has been bugging me off and on for months, and I have finally decided to do something about it. Will probably be mostly 'moments' like this throughout the books, from Jasmine's point of view, maybe with a few others. Enjoy.

The first time Jasmine Alice lays eyes on Harry Potter, she glares and scowls. Not because of who he is- the boy who lived, he who banished You-Know-Who- but because of who he isn't. She doesn't know what she expected, but it hadn't been a skinny boy with circular lenses shielding his green eyes that she'd hoped to see. Something in her had hoped for something else…something more.

She watches him throughout the sorting, watches as he takes a seat at the far table amongst a crowd of red-heads with scarlet and gold ties around their necks. When it's her turn to put on the sorting hat, he only looks up for a second, his eyes seeming to stare right through her, and she almost wants to scream. He should recognize her, know her for who she is on sight, but he looks away, and there's no sign of recognition on his face.

She sits down at the Slytherin table, between a pale boy with blond hair and a gruff-looking girl, and frowns again at Harry, whose eyes are alight as the food appears on the tables, magic he's never seen, and suddenly it no longer matters to Jasmine that he doesn't recognize her. She wants no part of his muggle-tinted life, no glimpse of his overly-bright spotlight. She's happy in her world of constant magic, happy in the love of the man she calls father; she needs nothing more.

The boy next to her turns to introduce himself, holding out his hand as his grey eyes dare her to take it, and she smiles, looking away from Harry to her fellow Slytherin. She takes his hand, meeting the challenge in his eyes with one in her own.

"I'm Draco. Draco Malfoy." His voice is cool and confident, and her smile widens.

"Jasmine. Jasmine Snape." She replies.

So review, I'll post the next chapter when it comes to me…whenever that will be. Remember, review, but No Flames! Thanks! ~Seeker
