Draco Malfoy was called heartless by most. But there were also some who said he had too much heart. Both of the groups had their own opinions of him. On one side was past girlfriends and mortal enemies, on the other girlfriends that had lasted longer than a few weeks and girls who were just quick no strings attached lays. Though one side loved him and the other hated him they both could agree on one thing, Draco Malfoy would never fall in love. For no matter how much heart he had. There was never room for a true lover.

Draco was born into a pureblood family that had taught him no matter what, don't fall in love. He kept to that rule very well and while entering his 5th year at hogwarts he intended to keep it. That is until he met her, Kira Divine and all the boys agreed, she was divine. In mannerisms and appearance, she was in short, the perfect girl.

Kira, like Draco had been born into a pureblood family and she also wanted to follow the rule of never falling in love. For she knew that one day she'd be forced into an arranged marriage and she never wanted to risk loosing her true love, despite the slim chance she had at finding him. So on that warm September morning they both separately boarded the Hogwarts Express.

Draco went off to find his friends and Kira went to find people willing to allow her to sit with them,for she was a transfer student who knew no one. And while she searched for a compartment she opened the door to his; and he acting like a gentleman asked her to sit with them. Something he was very good at, pretending to be perfectly innocent until he got what he wanted.

The train ride was fairly unmemorable, Kira joined in with the Slytherin student's conversations fitting in well. When the Hogwarts Express arrived at the carriages that would take the students to the school Kira was separated from her new found friends. Swept up in a wave of 1st years Kira was whisked toward the castle, her feet seeming to be moving without command.

Being a transfer student Kira was the first to be sorted out of the other four transfers. Immediately following Dumbledore's speech Kira was sent onto the stage, taking a seat on the stool in the front of the room, a woman Kira didn't recognize set a hat on her head.

A Divine?I don't quite remember ever sorting such a perso- oh, yes that's right years ago I sorted your great-grandmother Abigail. A slytherin she was, and I see you've made some slytherin friends already. Hmm.. you do have the wit of a Ravenclaw but I can see the cunning parts of a Slytherin in you... "Slytherin!"

A wave of cheers erupted from the table farthest to the right of her, smiling she got off the stage, walking towards Draco who was waving her over. Zoning from the sortings going on she tuned into the conversation unfolding before her. Though the two boys spoke in hushed tones she could still hear them perfectly. Yes, Blaise and Draco were stupid enough to believe she wouldn't be able to listen in on their bet.

"How long do you think it will take?" Draco asked, his voice quiet.

"Till when? You mean till you get Kira or until you have the whole house?" Blaise whispered back a slight sneer on his face.

"Till I get Kira! I'll give it two months, something tells me she'll be a bit harder to break down."

"You may be good but you can't do everything, I bet you 25 gallons you won't get her until after winter holiday," Blaise said.

"You're on," Draco said smiling, as they shook hands.

At that moment Kira vowed that she wouldn't let either of them win that bet. Dinner passed quickly, Kira lost in her own world, boys focused on their food. Though Kira was used to lavishly made foods cooked to perfection she had admitted that the food was good.

Walking to the common room with Draco by her side Kira began talking about mindless things. Though neither of them were interested in what was happening they continued to talk sitting down in a plush chair by the fire place once inside the common room. She was captured in thought, trying to determine what to do about the bet and how to go about his bad behavior.

She knew she wanted to teach him a lesson but how? He wasn't some girl the she could spread gossip on, no, this plan had to be much more elaborate.

"Well I'm going to bed!" Kira stated standing up and ending their conversation. Despite the fact neither of them had much invested into it. Talking of the lates brooms could only last for so long.

Draco nodded watching her turn away before grabbing her arm and pulling her to him, "Kira, I'm really glad you came here," he whispered in her ear his voice husky, sending slight shivers down her spine.

Shaking off the nerves he sent through her she got just as close, pressing herself into his chest, "as am I."
