Everyone made their way into Hogwarts Express as quickly as they could. Another year at Hogwarts was exactly what most of the students needed, especially Kaylie Steele. With her parents constantly bickering and her little brother that does nothing but cause trouble, Hogwarts was her escape from her reality at home. She was 14 now, entering her third year in Hogwarts and couldn't be more thrilled.

"Hermione Granger, my have your hair shrunken?" Kaylie joked as they collided into a hug.

"Kaylie Steele, my have you grown up. You look so different" Hermione replied seeing how long Kaylie's brunette locks have grown.

"I hope not horrendously different" Kaylie said.

"Absolutely not. You look fabulous" Hermione complimented and Kaylie smiled.

"Bloody hell, what happened you?" A familiar red head said seeing Kaylie outside of his compartment.

"Ron! It's great to see you too" Kaylie said bringing him into a hug.

"Summer definitely done you wonders" Ron said and Kaylie and Hermione laughed at his idiocy.

"Harry! How are you!" Kaylie said giving him a hug as well.

"Good to see you Kaylie" he replied.

No one really expect so much to change in 3 short months for Kaylie. She has always been this short, underdeveloped girl with short flat brown hair and braces now she has curves, and length and volume and many boys were noticing the change. She hair was long and full of life and she gained a couple pounds to get those curves she always saw famous celebrities have. SHe was happy about her new look, and so was everyone else.

Kaylie and Hermione walked into the Great Hall side by side while Ron and Harry were behind them. They were talking about theories on why the dementors were in Hogwarts Express in the first plave. They really had no reason to be there but Harry came to the conclusion that they were looking for something, or rather someone.

"Harry I wouldn't strain myself if I were you, worrying about the dementors. Let's just hope they found what they were looking for, and they're gone for the rest of the year" Hermione assured seeing as Harry was quite uneasy about the entire situation.

"Potter! Did you really faint? Like actually fainted on the train?" Malfoy said while flint pretended to faint to mock Harry.

"Just ignore him" Ron said and Harry, Ron and Hermione returned to listen to the rest of Dumbledore's welcoming/introductory speech.

Kaylie looked over at Malfoy and he stared back at her. He couldn't help but wonder how different she looked. She was definitely not the same girl she use to be. Not only did she look different, but her attitude was different. It was almost like she got a confidence potion and definitely a potion for sexy legs as he averted his gaze to her toned, lean legs. He stared back at her eyes and she took one last look at him before returning to listen to Dumbledore speak.

"Can you believe Hagrid is actually going to be our professor this year?" Hermione said excitedly.

"I can't believe Professor Lupin is going to be our DADA professor" Ron said.

"He did save Harry from the dementors on the train. It's hard not to believe that he knows how to defend himself and others" Kaylie responded.

"Well I can't wait for classes to start. You coming to the dorms Kaylie?" Hermione asked and Kaylie shook her head.

"I think I'm going to go for a walk. I need some air anyways" Kaylie responded.

"Well be careful you know what Dumbledore said about the dementors and remember curfew is in an hour" Harry said and she nodded before heading down the stairs.

There was a balcony near the great hall and it had a great view. There was nothing like taking in the cool fresh air in Hogwarts. She could think and finally feel free from the burdens in her life. She just closed her eyes and cleared her mind.

"You do realize that curfew is in half an hour" she heard someone state from behind. She could remember that arrogant voice anywhere.

"What do you care Malfoy?" She replied.

"I was just trying to warn you Steele" he stated.

"Of course, talking from the guy that turned Hermione, Harry and Ron in for being at Hagrid's after hours first year" Kaylie retorted.

"And I got detention for that too if you remember correctly" he said and Kaylie rolled her eyes.

Malfoy walked to stand besides her on the balcony. It was quite weird for her, being so close to Malfoy. She moved herself a couple inches away from him. So they wouldn't touch

"You look quite different this year" Malfoy suddenly said.

"Well maybe it's my hair, or the fact that my braces are off?" she sarcastically said and he chuckled.

"Or maybe it's the way you carry yourself. You're not that same shy girl with a crush on me" he teased and Kaylie rolled her eyes.

"I did not have a crush on you" Kaylie stated

"I think you did and you still do" Malfoy said walking closer to her.

"What are you doing?" she asked slightly nervous about how he continues to get closer to her.

"If you don't have a crush on me, it wouldn't mean anything if I did this would it?" he said and before she had the chance to respond, his lips lightly brushed upon hers. It was for a small second, so soft and light but she was left utterly breathless.

"Curfews in 10 minutes Steele. You know how Percy isn't very lenient when it comes to curfews" Malfoy lastly said before making his way to his dormitory.

She made her way upstairs to her dorm and she changed into her pajamas getting into bed.

"If you came a minute late you would have gotten detention. What were you doing for an hour?" she asked.

"Nothing. Nothing at all" she stuttered nervously and she laid down on her bed with on final thought.

"What the hell was that? Draco freaking Malfoy just kissed me!"
