Blood

Theme Song: Shark In The Water – Vee Vee Brown

Start: 1/11/2011 Finish: 7/7/2011

Summary: The only thing that separates the Slytherin Prince, Draco Malfoy, from the Ravenclaw cowgirl, American born Marlon Wilkes, is that he is a pure-blood and she is… well… something else entirely.

[Author's Note: Shalom! This is just a story about Draco, who is kinda sexy… Oh, sorry; Just me drifting off in his eyes. So, because I'm lazy, here's a list of things that you will see that are different:

*Draco Malfoy might have a little ooc moments because I'm not JKR, I don't know him like she does.

*My character is mine and mine alone so mitts off!

*Some things are from the books and some things are from the movie. This is a blending of them.

And without further ado… L'hitraot!]

Part 1 ~ Year 1

*Chapter 1* Hogwarts Express

Circus- Brittany Spears

Marlon Wilkes sat by herself in a cabin on the Hogwarts Express. She had always known that there were witches and wizards, but nobody expected her to be one. Both of her parents were Squibs, which are children from magic families but have no magic themselves, so she had traveled in the magical world before… in America. Now she was sitting with a pitch black owl, named Sheik, in his cage on a train ride to Hogwarts, in Europe. Her letter had come in the mail and was quickly followed by another wizard who had been asked by Headmaster Albus Dumbledore to bring her to Diagon Alley to shop for magical items. Her parents had accompanied her and both of them had pitched in for her owl. She sat in a kind of shock state.

Since Marlon didn't know anyone, she sat alone, thinking about the past events that had recently transpired when two boys came bolstering in. One was a bright red haired boy and the other had dark brown hair and wore glasses. The red head lead and stopped short at the sight of her. Marlon was something else to behold with her bright starlight hair streaked with blood red and her pale yellow eyes with their emerald green flecks. Her skin was on the paler side of shades which was hugely contrasted by Sheik's obsidian feathers.

"Uhh…" the red head began and the dark haired boy looked up with the slightly feared look as the red head.

"No, please. Have a seat. It's just me, myself and Sheik here." Marlon said, gesturing to the empty seats across from her.

They nodded and entered. They sat silent for a moment before Marlon stuck her hand out and said, "I'm Marlon Wilkes. Please call me Mar."

The red haired one shook her hand and smiled as he said, "Nice to meet you, Mar. My name's Ron, Ron Weasley."

The dark haired boy shook her hand to and said with an equal smile, "And I'm Harry, Harry Potter."

Mar smiled and continued to look out the window. Sheik hoped around his cage, like a little kid. "Cool owl!" Ron said

"Yeah, he's a little on the small side so he kinda has that small man syndrome, but he is pretty awesome. Is that your rat?" Mar asked, pointing to the one that had crawled out of Ron's pocket.

"Yeah, this is Scabbers." Ron said, picking the rat up. "I was just telling Harry here that I knew a spell to turn him yellow."

Mar leaned closer and said, "Show me."

Ron took out his wand and was about to start his spell when a girl came to the cabin door, looked around a little then sighed and asked, "Have any of you seen a toad? A boy named Neville has lost one."

Ron and Harry shook their heads, but Mar stood up and let Sheik out and the little owl flew up and landed on her shoulder as she said, "I haven't seen him, but back at home I was a good frog hunter. I'd be glad to help you look for him."

"Okay thanks. Oh," the girl started, "You're doing magic? Let's see then."

Ron continued with his spell, but it didn't work. "I don't think that's a real spell." The girl said rather snobbishly.

"Yeah, let's see you do one then!" Ron said, slightly angered.

"Fine," the girl said as she sat down and faced Harry. She pulled out her wand and pointed it at his glasses and said, "Occulis Reparo."

The tape that was on the bridge of his glasses snapped off and they looked good as new. "Good one." Mar said, leaning against the doorway.

The girl smiled and said, "I'm Hermione Granger and you're Harry Potter." She said at Harry then turning to Ron she asked who he was.

"Ron Weasley." He replied.

Hermione turned to Mar and Mar said, "Marlon Wilkes and this little back bundle of attitude is Sheik."

"It's nice to meet you. But enough time has been wasted." She said and swept out the cabin.

Mar asked the guys to watch her stuff and if she didn't make it back to grab Sheik's cage for her and another rectangular case. They said they would and Mar left to follow Hermione. They asked around the train and eventually they ended up in another cabin with 3 guys in it. One had platinum blonde hair with a fine face and frame and sly grey eyes, one was built like a gorilla with a vacant expression on his face and the other was just as large as the second, but slightly better built than the second one.

"Have any of you seen a toad? A boy named Neville has lost one." Hermione asked.

Mar stood just off Hermione's shoulder and the gorilla boy gasped at her starlight colored hair with her blood red streaks. She shrugged as the other two turned and got the same frightened look on their faces. "Who are you?" platinum boy asked, with a slight glare in his eyes.

"Marlon Wilkes." Mar said, returning his glare with one of her own with her pale yellow-green flecked eyes.

"You don't have a British accent. Where are you from?" he asked, relaxing back into his seat.

"Livingston, Montana, United States of America." Mar replied, pride in her voice.

"I didn't know they had witches and wizards in America." He said, slightly taken back along with some sarcasm.

"I didn't know that there were prats in Europe too." Mar said with equal sarcasm.

"Why you!" He said, bolting up, wand drawn and pointed at her face.

Mar laughed and said, "You must be one of those purebloods who think themselves better than anyone else just because you are able to trace your family history that is full of wizards."

"That's because I am better than everyone else!" he shouted, angry at last.

Hermione looked scared and Mar stepped closer, the wand tip pressing on her forehead. "Tell me, what do you think about a Squib born witch?" Mar asked smirking slightly.

He lowered his wand and stared at her with wide, shocked eyes. Mar brushed past him and she and Hermione continued to search for Neville's lost toad but to no avail. As they trudged back to their cabin, Mar was cut off by the platinum haired boy. "I'm Draco Malfoy." He said and stuck out his hand.

"Marlon Wilkes." Mar replied, "Call me Mar."

Draco slid the door shut and stood in the passageway with Mar having raised one eyebrow. "I'm sorry for threatening you earlier." He said actually looking apologetic.

"You're forgiven, but why did you close this door?" Mar asked.

"I didn't want them to hear. I'm kind of their leader and they might turn if they think I've gone soft. Though, I hope we can be friends." He said, his voice soft.

"I'm game to try out if you are." Mar said, smiling.
