"If I could have everyone's attention for a few moments," Snape hissed to the Slytherin common room. All students present fell silent. "This is Miss Emiko Takahashi, our new foreign exchange student from Japan. She has traded places with our own Miss Parkinson. I expect you all to treat her like one of your own, as the sorting hat has demanded that she be placed here."
At this last comment, the room seemed a bit more relaxed. The new girl was undoubtedly one of their own. Snape placed a hand on her shoulder, a touch which some of the students noted as odd, before snapping it back and whisking himself away towards his chambers. Emiko was left standing uncomfortably.
She was a tall, curvy girl. She had not yet received her Hogwarts robes, and so was dressed in her regular attire. She was wearing a tight pair of jeans, which highly complemented her muscular hips and thighs, a loose t-shirt with a Super Mario 1 up mushroom logo, and a long corduroy jacket. Her black hair was short and intensely layered, with strands that spread about her sharp, oval shaped face. Long, dangling earrings of jade and sterling silver hung from her ears, and five brightly colored bangles decorated her left wrist. Her right sported a gray, digital watch and a bracelet with beads painted blues, greens, and pinks. A blue, fuzzy hand knit scarf was wrapped tightly around her neck.
"Hi everyone," she said, waving her right hand lightly.
Draco Malfoy took this opportunity to step forward. He eyed her completely from top to bottom, before sneering, "some outfit you got there, looks like a pack of teen-pop muggles hacked you up. Where are those nice school girl outfits you Japanese are supposed to wear?"
"Oh God, not that question again." Emiko sighed, rolling her eyes. "Look, I know how badly you must want to ogle my thighs, but I think I'll save you that privilege for after I know your name. So, what is it?"
Malfoy grinned. Now this was his kind of woman! "Malfoy, Draco Malfoy," he said, sticking out his hand. Emiko shook it.
"Honored, Mister Malfoy!" she mocked and bowed. Many of the students in the common room shrieked with laughter. As she rose from the bow, she flicked her hair back and grinned in Malfoy's face. He caught a scent of lavender from her hair when she did this.
"Who here's in the sixth year girl's dormitories?" she yelled into the crowd, peering over Malfoy's right shoulder. Several girls giggled and stepped forward. "Mind showing me to my new room?" she asked them. All of them nodded, and began scurrying up the staircase. She lightly nudged Malfoy's hip with her own as she skirted around him to follow the girls. When they had gone, Malfoy turned to Crabbe and Goyle.
"Boys, I think we've just received a fine new piece of tail for the Slytherin house."
