It is a Dramione fic, I promise you, it's just written from my OC's point of view and includes her romance as well, but the main focus is Dramione, of course. It kinda has to be from her POV anyway otherwise it won't fit in with the plot. I hope you enjoy reading it and make sure you R&R, pleeeease. :).

Disclaimer: I do not, as much as I wish, nor will I ever own Harry Potter. I own nothing except for my OC's and the plot.

Chapter One: A New Beginning.

I took a deep breath as I stepped out onto Platform 9 and 3/4 for the first time in my life. Even though I was seventeen and going to be a seventh year at Hogwarts, I had not been here my entire life. I had lived in muggle London, away from the wizarding world, for my own and my family's safety. Truth be told, I was absolutely terrified. The only person I knew was Draco, my twin brother, which barely counts for anything. And speaking of the devil, he came through the barrier with Mother. I saw students wishing their families goodbye, I smiled slightly, at the happy sight. It was much needed after the war. Draco gave Mother a quick peck on the cheek and didn't even shoot a second look back. Mother sighed but had a hint of a smile in her eyes. She was much happier than I expect she was when Father was still with her.

"Now, Cassandra. You walk in there with your head held high. You carry the Malfoy name, but more importantly, you represent the women of the Malfoy family. On top of all that, have fun sweetheart, you deserve it." Mother smiled, pinching my cheek lovingly. I rolled my eyes at her but I was grinning.

"Love you, Mother." I bid her goodbye and kissed her on the cheek. I climbed aboard the Hogwart's Express, waving to her. I squeezed down the aisle, passing the full compartments, until I came across an empty one. I slid the doors shut behind me and put my bag up in the holders. I sat down and gazed out the window. Mother had already disapparated, though I still saw many other parents waving from the platform, most mothers with tears streaking down their faces. After all students were aboard, the train lurched forward on the tracks. I watched the changing landscapes and heard other students stumbling and laughing as they bustled down the aisles. My short found peace was interrupted by a girl who came crashing into my compartment. She had long, shiny and straight auburn hair that reached the small of her back and she had sparkling chocolate eyes that went with a matching smile upon her face.

"Mind if I join you?" She asked perkily.

"Not at all." I gestured at the empty seats and let my hand fall limp in my lap.

"Thanks." She replied breathlessly, after stowing her bags, "I'm Victoria, by the way, but you can just call me Tori." She shot me warm smile and stuck out her hand in greeting. I accepted it gratefully.

"I'm Cassandra, but you can call me Cassie." I introduced myself with a smile of my own. Tori studied me inquisitively until recognition lit in her twinkling eyes.

"Ohmigosh! You look so much like Malfoy!" She squealed in amazement. I gave a hearty laugh.

"I should. I mean, he is my identical twin brother." I shrugged nonchalantly, waiting for her reaction. Her eyes widened theatrically and she kept opening and closing her mouth like a fish.

"You-You-You're his sister?" Tori exclaimed. I smirked and she took a sharp intake of breath.

"You are his sister. If anyone doubted that, you just killed it when you smirked. You guys even smirk the same." She shook her head in disbelief. Suddenly, Tori's head snapped up and the grin dropped from her lips.

"I suppose you want me to leave then? 'Cause I'm a half blood and all..." She mumbled. I frowned in confusion.

"What are you talking about? Why would I make you leave? There's nothing wrong with being a half blood. Or muggle-born, either, for a matter of fact."

Tori's expression turned into one of pure shock and surprise.

"Well, you are Malfoy's sister and he only associates with other pure bloods." She explained, looking a little abashed. I narrowed my eyes. How could my brother be so rude and prejudiced?

"Well that's my brother, not me. I personally have absolutely no problem." I shrugged and her smile returned.

"Wow, you look a lot like Malfoy, but you sure are different in your own ways." Tori remarked. I grinned ruefully. I knew I acted differently. I was raised with an extremely wealthy muggle family though, so I did have some aristocratic tendencies, however, I did not have the same prejudices most pureblood's did. We were talking most of the way until a girl about the same age as us barged into the compartment. She had medium length inky black hair that rested in soft waves against her shoulders and piercing green eyes. She had already changed into her robes and stood at the doorway.

"You might wanna get changed now, we're nearly at Hogsmeade." The girl informed us.

"Thanks Meghan." Tori replied, standing up. Meghan did a double take when she saw me as she turned to leave.

"Are you related to Malfoy?" She asked bluntly. Again, I gave a laugh. Her blunt honesty made me like her already.

"Yes. He's my twin brother." I explained.

"Oh! I didn't know that he had a twin sister." Meghan shrugged, "Well, it was nice to meet you?" She asked for my name.

"Cassandra." I finished for her. I took my tailored robes from my bag and went to get changed. I folded my floral patterned silk skirt and cashmere sweater, stowing them neatly in my bag. I glanced over myself in the full length mirror. I left my top button undone with the tie left casually loose. My shirt was tucked into the grey pleated skirt that just brushed above my knees. I didn't wear my stockings, since it was a warm summer. Over the top was a warm, grey, v-neck sweater. I pulled on the matching socks and buckled my polished, black shoes. I slipped on my robes and walked back into my compartment. The girl, Meghan, had decided to stay with us and soon enough we were pulling into Hogsmeade Station. Tori took my hand as we got off the train. I understood why very clearly. The station was packed with students of all years. She pulled me through the crowd to where horseless carriages were being filled. We climbed into one that had a petite girl with caramel soft curls, a boy with bright orange hair, a girl that must have been the aforementioned boys sister because she had fiery red hair and another boy with messy black hair and green eyes. He had on his trademark round spectacles and I immediately knew who they were.

"You must be the Golden Trio, or quartet," I nodded to the fourth girl, "that I've heard so much about. It's a pleasure to meet you all. I'm Cassandra, Cassandra Malfoy." I introduced. The girl with caramel curls, Hermione, stared at me in shock while the other three gave me wary, almost hostile, looks.

"Did I say something wrong?" I asked, horrified that I might have insulted them.

"You're Malfoy's sister?" Harry asked incredulously. I nodded, confirming his answer.

"Come here to torment us? Why don't you go back to your Death Eater friends?" Ron spat. Tori interrupted them angrily.

"How could you be so rude? Cassie is nothing but kind. If you're going to judge her on Malfoy's actions, you're just as prejudiced as he is." She waved a clenched fist in his face. I pulled her back down.

"Don't worry about it. Obviously my brother must have been a jerk if this is their reaction. I'm sorry." I apologised. Hermione spoke up gently.

"We're the ones that should be sorry. Tori's right. So why haven't we seen you at Hogwarts before? Or, in fact, even known you existed?" She asked politely.

"Draco and I were separated at birth, for safety reasons, I guess you could say. I lived with a wealthy muggle family in London. When the war was over, Mother sent for me once Voldemort was killed. I've been self-taught until now." I explained. Hermione gave me a tentative smile.

"So thanks to you, I can now be with my family again. It means a lot to me, I really appreciate it." I thanked them gratefully.

"Er, no problem." Harry replied, seemingly confused about something. We soon arrived at the castle and I gazed up at it's historic beauty in awe.

"Wow! It's amazing." I exclaimed, still staring up at Hogwarts unbelievably. Ginny and Hermione smiled knowingly and Tori giggled.

"What?" I asked, but not really paying attention.

"You should see your face. I'd imagine ours would've looked the same when we first saw Hogwarts." Ginny answered, grinning.

We filed into the Entrance Hall where a Professor in green velvet robes pulled me aside whilst the others were climbing the stone staircase and entering what looked to be another hall.

"Miss. Malfoy, you need to be Sorted into your house. Your house will be like your family. Do the right thing and you will earn points, do the wrong and you shall lose points. Now, I'm sure you'd rather be Sorted out here than with the first years." She explained sternly but kindly. The elder woman handed me a worn hat that had a tear at the brim.

"Place the Sorting Hat on your head and he'll tell you where your loyalties will lie."

I nodded and set it atop my ringlets. I jumped in fright when I heard a deep voice inside of my head.

"Yes... A Malfoy I see. You are an unusual one for a Malfoy though. You are cunning, with a mind worthy of Ravenclaw and show unwavering loyalty for your loved ones, a trait worthy of Helga. However, your bravery, leadership and honesty are your strongest traits."

"GRYFFINDOR!" He shouted and the Professor smiled happily but her eyes betrayed her surprise.

"Miss. Malfoy, congratulations. I'm Professor McGonnagal, your head of house and I expect you will honour being in this house and earn us many points with your achievements." And with that she led me towards the stairs where many young first year's were waiting. I entered what was named the Great Hall and I could definitely see why. The ceiling was enchanted to look like the sky at the time, which tonight, was cloudless with stars twinkling in the dark sky. There were four long tables covering the length of the hall with a fifth one at the back where I assumed the teachers sat. I spotted Tori and hurried over to the table she was sitting at. She gave me a hug and squealed excitedly when I sat next to her. I knew that this was the Gryffindor table since she had mentioned on the train that she was one of the Lion's proudly.

"I can't believe it! You're the first Malfoy to ever be in another house besides Slytherin." Ginny exclaimed from across the table. I glanced over at the other side of the hall, my eyes falling upon a table filled with student's clad in green and silver stitched robes. I searched for Draco and found him. He was sitting next to an extremely handsome dark skinned boy, who was looking directly at me. He murmured something to Draco, who glanced up and met my stare. He gave a confused look and turned back to the front where the Sorting was to begin. I changed the direction of my gaze from the mysterious cutie to Tori.

"Who's that?" I whispered in her ear and inclined my head towards the boy. She quickly looked around, remaining inconspicuous and a small smile graced her lips.

"That is Blaise Zabini. Your brother's best friend and one of the hottest pieces of man meat at Hogwart's. Such a shame he's in Slytherin. They're our rivals. If they weren't I'm sure many of us Lionesses would've given into his charms a looong time ago. In fact, some of them already have." She informed me. I raised a single eyebrow at her in interest. After the Sorting and the following magnificent feast were over, Tori and Ginny led the way to the Gryffindor Tower. We came across a portrait of a Fat Lady.

"Password?" She asked regally.

"Dragon Claws" Ginny said and the portrait swung open, revealing a Common Room that was decorated in scarlet red and gold furnishings. A welcoming fire was burning in the fireplace which was surrounded by cosy armchairs. There was a staircase on the left and a matching one on the right.

"This one leads to the girl's dormitories." Tori told me, taking my arm and leading me up the right side stairwell. We reached a room that had five four poster beds with red and gold hangings. Next to each bed was our trunks set out. I claimed the empty bed next to Tori's and took out my pyjamas. I went into the bathroom to get changed into my pale pink silk and lace night gown and slippers. I padded out quietly, making sure I didn't wake the other two girls sharing our room. I slipped beneath my light covers and made sure my wand was under my pillow.

"Good night Tori, night Ginny." I whispered.

"Good night Cassie." I heard them reply in equally hushed tones. I fell asleep with a small smile on my lips.
