A/N first of all this is my first story, so please go easy on the comments. Second of all if you are a HP fan then you know that Malfoy is evil. Well in this story he's not evil except when his friends are around. So make sure you keep that in mind. Lavender's personality is pretty much like mine so I hope you enjoy.

Introduction

It all starts with a young Gryffindor, one hot May day on the train ride home. This young Gryffindor's name was Lavender Brown. Lavender was not a pure blood. Lavender was an independent girl who spoke her mind. She had long dark reddish-brown hair and her eyes the color of the ocean (which all the guys went crazy for). But Lavender didn't like any one in her house. She had some one else in mind, Draco Malfoy, a Slytherin who had bleach blond hair and was easy on the eyes (which all the girls went crazy for). Draco was indeed a pure blood. But like Lavender he had had some one else in mind. Someone in a different house.

Lavender was crazy for Malfoy but she was afraid what her friends would think. After all, he was a Slytherin. What she didn't know was that Malfoy felt the same about her but it was hard, especially for a guy, to express his feelings about something, or anything at this point of age.

Lavender had these two best friends named Jamie and Chris. Jamie was an intelligent young lady, she wasn't the prettiest but she sure was the smartest. Chris was the dumb one of the group. She was pretty, but man was she stupid. The two girls were fearless and not shy at all.

Malfoy also had two best friends named Crabbe and Goyle. Both of them were incredibly stupid and ugly but that's okay. They still had one loyal friend. They were the school bullies. Everyone was scared of them. They were, like Lavender's friends, not shy at all. Malfoy was a sweet, caring, person. But when he was with his friends he was mean and just flat out evil.

While Lavender was worried about what her friends would say if she told them her secret, the girls were in the boys compartment. What they were doing in there she didn't know. But when they came back they had big smiles on there faces.

Chapter 1

"What are u to so happy about?" Lavender asked her friends as they mad there way into the compartment as if they were floating on air.

"You know that hunk in Slytherin?" Jamie proclaimed.

"Which one?" Lavender asked with a look of curiosity on her face.

"The tall, dark, and handsome one." Jamie sighed.

"Like I said which one?" Lavender said starting to lose her temper.

"Crabbe." Jamie said faintly.

"And don't forget Goyle." Piped-up Chris.

"Gorse, those hags? What about them?" Lavender asked with a look of discussed on her face.

"They just asked us out." Chris said excitedly.

"And judging by the smiles on your face I'm guessing you said yes?" Lavender questioned.

"Well yea we've always liked them but we were afraid to tell you." Jamie said with a scared look on her face.

"Oh, your afraid to tell me you like a Slytherin, but your not afraid to tell me you accidentally flushed my fish down the toilet. I know you two were jealous of Mr. bubbles, but you didn't have to kill him." Said Lavender as she stares at her friends with a little puppy dog pout.

"Not that stupid fish again." Chris said with a heavy sigh.

"Yea, Lavender let it go it was in our first year. You're going to be a seventh year for heavens sack. My God build a bridge and get over it." Jamie said.

"Fine but I will never forget Mr. bubbles. Anyway back to the boys what happened?"

"Well we went in there to see if they wanted anything off the trolley." Said Jamie.

"And of course that big mouth Draco had to say some thing stupid." Chris said.

"What did he say?" Lavender asked with a sudden interest in the subject now that Draco had come up.

"He said something about a dragon." Jamie said rolling her eyes.

"We couldn't here him. All we know is Crabbe got really upset." Chris said with a " how curious" look on her face.

"Well we thought some thing must be up so I said "What's with you Crabbe?" and you want to know what he said?" Jamie asked excitedly.

"No, not really but I have a felling your going to tell me any way." Lavender said in her mind.

"What did he say?" She said out loud this time.

He said "I just don't think it's very gentlemen like to talk trash around a beautiful lady such as your self "

"What a load of garbage". Lavender said out loud not able to hold her self silent.

"Well thought it was sweet." Said Chris.

"Tell her what happened next, Jamie."

"Well he stood up and he kissed me." She said faintly.

"Gag. Make sure you brush your teeth. Gorse I think I'm going to have nightmares." Lavender proclaimed.

"Hey back off we didn't say anything when you were sucking face with Ron." Said Jamie with a slight tone of anger in her voice.

"Yea thanks for that . that was one of the biggest mistakes of my life. You know what I should so try and hook Hermione and him up!" Said lavender with a " please can we change the subject look on he face."

"Well yea you work on that whole Hermione thing." Said Chris. "But I want to here what happened next. "

"You were there stupid you already know what happens next." Lavender says with a "duh" look on her face.

"So doesn't mean I remember." Chris argued.

"Will you two stop arguing?" Jamie yelled over them both

"So what happened next well he asked me out and obviously I said Yes."

"And what about what happened with you?" Lavender asked Chris.

"Well I have liked him for a long time. So I just flat up asked him out. And he looked quite pleased that I beat him to it, so that's my story sorry its not as long as Jamie's." Chris said with a humors smirk on he face.

"Well that's o.k. I've been dying to change the subject." Said Lavender charmingly.

"Well we were wondering if we could go sit with the boys for a while?" Jamie asked nervously.

"I don't mind at all I could always use some alone time." Lavender said in a non convulsive manner.

As the girls went off to the guys compartment she thought to her self ,even though she loved her friends she couldn't stand that they went out with a Slytherin. She felt so stupid for not making a move, like Chris, but she was as shy as can be. It would be impossible for her to make the first move. But she hopped that she wouldn't have to.

As the train conductor called over the loud speaker "ten minuets" Jamie and Chris ran into the compartment, said buy to Lavender, grabbed there stuff and left again. As the train started to slow down, Lavender pulled her trunk down from the rack and sat it on the floor. Then she went to the compartment were the owls were kept, to fetch her owl, Samuel. (I know rite random name for an owl)

When she came back to the compartment with Samuel in his cage, the door was closed.

She thought to her self "I know that this door was not closed when I left"

A little freaked out she set Samuel cage down, as the train came to a complete stop.

She opened the door slowly. She was shacking all over. With he who must not be named (voldemort) in power again, little things like this freaked you out.

She finally managed to stop shaking and open the door the rest of the way. When she saw who was in side, sitting on her trunk, she let out a huge sigh of relief.

"What the crape are you doing here?" Lavender said a little too loudly.

"Shhhhhh my God! Said Draco Malfoy loudly over the "holy crapes" Lavender was spiting at him.

"What do you want Malfoy?" Lavender said with a look of scorn on her face.

(You see even though Lavender had a huge crush on Draco, she also had a reputation of hating him, so she had to keep it!)

"Well if your going to talk to me like that nothing." Draco said with a look a sarcasm on his face.

"Fine, I'll see you next term." Lavender said as disappointment swept over her face.

"What a minute, I wasn't serious when I said that. Draco said.

"Well you shouldn't have said it then." Lavender said smartly.

"Listen I just wanted to apologize for the way I treated you this term." Draco said apologetically.

"Thanks I appreciate it." Lavender said rolling her eyes, as she made her way to grab her trunk.

Grabbing her hand before she grabbed her trunk, Draco said "Don't you have something to say to me also?"

"Fine, I'm sorry for treating you like shit on the bottom of my shoes. There happy?" said Lavender sarcastically.

"Well now that that's over with, I have to ask you something." Said Draco nervously.

"Whatever it is I really don't care" Lavender said with an attitude.

"Well could you at least give me a chance?" Daco asked.

"Fine, what is it?"

"Well I know we've had are differences…"

"Yea, and your point is"

"Hey go easy on me I'm new at this."

"Well we probably need to get of the train sometime today!"

"Fine I just wanted to say your beautiful!!!!" Draco yelled

"What??" Lavender said with a stun look on her face

"You herd me"

"Well thank you" Lavender said not knowing what else to say (for the first time in her life)

"Well if that's all I really should be going, so….."

Lavender made her way out of the compartment, leaving Draco behind with a dumbfounded look on his face. But before she made it off the train….\

"Wait" Draco yelled from the compartment.

"Yes" she replied

"Girlfriend you like my to would be?" Draco said in a rush.

"Sorry, what?"

"Would you like to be my girlfriend?" Draco said much slower this time

Lavender, out of nowhere started rambling.

"Are you joking?"

"Did someone dare you to ask me out?"

"If your joking, your not funny!"

"I mean why would you want to go out with me any way? I'm to stupid! Your to good for me. I don't deserve you. I'm a Gryffindor and your…."

"Does it really mater what house we're in?" Draco said.

"Well of course it does. I mean what would people say…"

"Who cares what other people say? Who says we even have to tell anyone?" Draco interrupted .

"You mean you want to keep it a secret?" asked Lavender with a puzzled look on her face.

"Well if you want to. I mean when we're at school we can just hate each other when we're with our friends. I mean we'll probably see a lot of each other now that Jamie Crabbe and Chris and Goyle go out. So what do you say?" Draco pleaded

"Well…" Lavender stuttered

"Oh come on live a little." Draco said in response

"Well I don't know if I can lie to my friends" Lavender said looking worried

"Oh come on I know you've lied to your friends before" Draco said

(Indeed she had been lying to not only her friends but the whole Gryffindor house; just by saying she hated Draco. And just 20 minute ago she was hopping she wouldn't have to make the first move like Chris.)

"Well what do you say, be my girlfriend?" Draco said with a "How can you resist this?" look on his face

"It depends, if I get a pet fish and name is Mr. Bubbles the second…"

"Wait, the second?" Draco interrupted

"Don't ask, long story. Any way if I get a pet fish and name it Mr. Bubbles the second. Are you going to get jealous and flush him down the toilet?

"Jealous of a fish?"

"Hey it happens!"

"Yes I promise if you get a pet fish and name it Mr. Bubbles the second I will NOT get jealous and flush him down the toilet" Draco said trying to keep a strait face

(Lavender smiled)

"I love your smile! So is that a yes?" Draco asked hopefully
