Blood Traitors?

Chapter1: Love Meet Intrigue

"Come on Arthur. You're going to miss the train. You can send them an owl after the feast is over." Lucius Malfoy screamed from the window as the train prepared to leave. Arthur Weasely quickly gave his mom one last hug before he left and ran to join his best friend on the train toward their final year of school.

Once they got to their compartment Lucius sat down and started tapping his fingers while Arthur acting like a first year waved bye to his mom. "Are you done with the tragic goodbye yet?" he says raising one eyebrow.

"Oh shut up. You're just jealous cause your parents never see you off."

"What do I have to be jealous of? I don't have anyone to embarrass me when I'm in public. I'm thrilled."

"Whatever. So how was your summer? Did anything happen between you and Maggie Parkinson?" Arthur asked enviously. Maggie may not be the prettiest thing to look at but she had fancied Lucius for so long and the last day before summer he had finally given her the time of day. Not that it mattered Lucius had girls falling all over him wherever he went.

"God no. You think I would sleep with that pug? She's grotesque!"

"Ha." Arthur laughed at his friend's cruelty because he never knew what to say when he spoke like that. He didn't like making fun of people but Malfoy seemed to think it was funny. And who was Arthur to say what was funny and what wasn't?

"So what did you do over the summer?" Arthur repeated his original question.

"My mom introduced me to this girl Narcissa Black."

Arthur spit his juice all over the floor at that. "Narcissa Black? Sirius Black's cousin?"

"Yeah her mom is best mates with mine. So they tried to hook us up."

"Tried to hook you up?"

"Yeah she was gorgeous but I can't go out with someone my mom picked for me. How about you? You wanna go out with her? I already told her about the idea and she seems into it."

"I don't think so. I don't want any of your cast offs." Arthur laughs.

"Hey you guys almost ready in here?" A red headed girl with bright green eyes walks into the room. Followed by two other girls; one with piercing blue eyes (kinda like a mini-girl Dumbledore) and the other with a face that seems to make everyone want to be her friend.

"What do you want Evans?" Lucius says with a sneer, completely disregarding the other two girls standing next to her.

"Hi Lilly, Sky, Liora. What's up?"

"The train conductor said that we'll be there soon. I wanted to make sure you were ready."

Lucius Malfoy rolled his eyes and then proceeded to ignore her. Catching the eye of one of the girls next to her. She looked bored, like someone had dragged her there. She was actually kind of pretty. She had very long, slightly wavy hair and big blue eyes. Her arms were crossed tightly and she was wearing her school robes already so it was hard to tell what her shape was, but what he was imagining looked pretty good.

"Ok guys we'll see you later." Lilly turned to go while the other two just rolled there eyes at each other and broke into giggles.

Arthur heard her say shut up to her two best friends before she shut the door.

"And what are you two hyenas laughing about? Lilly asked, annoyance etching her voice. She had a feeling she knew what they were about to say.

It was Liora who decided to answer her question. "You guys are just so stupid. You're both crazy about each other yet neither of you has ever made a move."

Lilly's blush was almost as red as her hair. She did fancy Arthur but she had never let it show. How had her friends caught on? Was she that obvious? Did Arthur know?

Almost as if reading her mind "Don't worry Lilly, he hasn't got a clue." Sky answered.

"You should tell him though. You guys would be so cute together. I just wish he had better taste in friends. Why is he hanging out with a prat like Malfoy anyway? Liora asked. She was a very intuitive person and had seen him checking out Sky. That girl was as smart and sweet as could be but in real life matters she had the IQ of a three year old. She would just have to keep an eye on her.

"Don't be mean. Everyone has something good about them." Sky defended. She knew how much Lilly liked Arthur and it wouldn't help get them together if Liora kept putting down his taste in friends.

"Could we please just drop the subject? We'll be there soon and we still haven't said hi to Molly. We haven't seen her all summer." Lilly interjected.

"Oh I can't wait to see her. She was so excited about her family's trip to Egypt. I can't wait to hear all about it." Sky said.

'Those girls are ridiculous. Can't they just mind their own business? Especially that mudblood Evans.' Lucius thought to himself.

"How annoying. Can't they go annoy someone else? My god how can you put up with being in the same house as her?" Malfoy sneered. He looked on as his friend ran a hand through his dark black hair. Such a contrast to his own platinum blond.

"I don't see her much outside of class. She's always hanging out with her friends. We barely ever talk." Arthur responded thinking about how beautiful she was, not realizing that he had a smile on his face.

Malfoy didn't fail to notice that grin and was just about to ask about it when the train came to a halt at Hogsmeade station. The two friends filed out of the train and started walking to the horseless carriages. While following Arthur into there's he saw Evan's friends again this time talking to Molly. She had gotten tanner since last June but Malfoy failed to notice this as he was once again drawn to the blue-eyed girl standing next to her.

"So you think you'll ever go back there again?" he heard her ask.

"Maybe when I'm married my husband will take us." Molly giggled at the thought and the four of them climbed into their own carriage.

"Hey Lucius you stuck or something. We're holding up the other carriages." Malfoy was drawn out of his reverie as he heard his friend's voice and climbed fully into the cart.

"What were you looking at back there?"

"Nothing" was Malfoy's response.

"What was that grin on the train about? Malfoy asked. Raising his eyebrow characteristically.

"What grin?" Malfoy decided to drop the subject not really wanting to know the answer anymore.

Lilly looked enviously at Molly. 'She was gorgeous. She had grown taller over the summer and was tanned from the sun in Egypt. It was a magical tan so it would probably last until January. She was redheaded like herself with brown eyes. She was plump but not fat and was very voluptuous. Molly could probably get any guy she wanted. Maybe she could help me with Arthur.' Lilly blushed as she thought that.

The three friends in the car could see the blush and the goofy grin spreading on Lilly's face despite the receding light. They knew she was no longer listening to anything they were saying and just sighed. It would be a long year if those two didn't get together.
