Tresses of Silver and Emerald

One-Shot Summary: He saw her first on the Hogwarts express, her long wavy black hair with that single braid along the side of her face, silver and emerald intertwined. It seemed only natural to that she'd be placed in Slytherin; no one expected that she would be placed in Gryffindor. That wasn't the worse part though; the worse part, the thing that irked him the most...she didn't even care.

New Summary: Kagome would admit that the braided colors in her hair were a little unorthodox, being that they caused her more trouble than they were worth, but really, was it anyone's business what colors she put in her hair? Apparently it was, placed in Gryffindor, with Emerald Green and Silver intertwining in a braid must have been a silent ruling to Slytherin's of all forms to torment her unconditionally, because they did...

Pairing: Draco/Kagome

A/N: So, I've gotten a few requests, asking for me to turn my One-Shot "Tresses of Silver and Emerald" into a Chapter Story. So, I have decided without any withdrawals on the subject, to go ahead and appeal to the few who have called for a continual and prequel to this fic.

Sitting on the chair with the sorting hat firmly placed upon her head, her eyes ran over the crowd, catching the surprised looks on most of the students' faces, the wide eyes looking up at her from the Slytherin table, the shocked eyes staring on from Gryffindor table, and even some surprised murmuring amongst the teachers sitting behind her at the head table.

She understood why...of course. It had only been an hour or so ago that she'd been in the presence of a new student who had been very blunt on her placement in Hogwarts. She recalled the events of the night with such clarity, that the memories came out like visions through a looking glass.

Flashback~

One hour left until the Hogwarts Express arrived at the very school for which it was named. Staring out the window, she had managed to go the entire ride thus far without any real interruptions, her one 'roommate; if you could call him that, was lying asleep on the other seat in the compartment, a kid with curly blonde hair and a camera. "...at least someone can sleep, I'm too nervous..." This coming from a beautiful girl of Asian background, her hair was long, falling well past her shoulders, a single lock of silver and emerald was braided along the side of her head, and her starlit blue eyes were roaming over the words in the book she was reading, Myths and Mayhem of the Ages by Rhona Reimage.

Finally standing, she no longer held any interest in the book, having read the book already twice; she no longer found it intriguing as she had when she'd started the book. She made her way out of the compartment, hoping to find a new source of entertainment, maybe someone to talk to.

She walked through the alley between compartments and started to make her way towards the front of the train when a compartment beside her opened and a boy around her age walked right into her due to a lack of attention on his part. Kagome was knocked off her feet and her hand caught by 'his'.

"You should be a little more careful,"

Kagome frowned, "You walked into me, remember,"

"I could have let you fall," His eyes wandered over her before stopping at the lock of emerald and silver hair. "You must be a natural born Slytherin, I look forward to seeing you during our breaks," Bringing a hand to her hair and tracing her cheek, a blush started to form and she pulled back.

"Thanks, but are you so sure I'll be in Slytherin?"

"You are wearing our house colors; I'd be shocked if you were in anything other than."

"..." Kagome stared at the boy for a moment, he had platinum blonde hair and gorgeous blue/grey eyes, dressed in his black robes that looked to have been personally tailored to fit him, and noted the green and silver tie that was tied nicely around the collar of his shirt. "Well, when I want your opinion on my placement in Hogwarts," She moved out of reach of the boy's hand and watched it fall to his side, "I'll ask,"

Kagome left him standing there, returning to the safe confines of her compartment, not quite understanding the impact of the two colors in her hair, as much as she would later.

End Flashback~

Standing, Kagome made her way towards the Gryffindor table on the far right of the Great Hall. She sat down, but the students at her table were still staring at her, and the look on 'his' face...it was shocked, and almost horrorstricken.

The names were called out till the last one, and when it was time to leave, she was more than happy to follow the rest of the students at her table, even though the lunch had been filled with chatter from all the tables, she could still feel those eyes, 'his' eyes, on her. It was nerve-wracking! His however...weren't the only ones that she felt. She had glanced around, and noticed that three students a little ways down had been eyeing her, a girl with overly wavy hair, with curls here and there, and brown eyes, had a curious look, nothing too bad. Across the table from her was a boy with messy black hair, a scar in the shape of a lightning bolt on his forehead, and beautiful bright green eyes that had a welcoming light to them, but he seemed to hold her in a look of uncertainty and caution. The one who really caught her eye though, was the boy beside the green eyed boy, his hair was an orange like red, and his eyes a vast ocean like shade of blue, his looks did little for her, but the look she was giving her gave her chills. But...why should it? Not everything was as it seemed; after all...she wasn't really supposed to be in Gryffindor...
