Chapter two: The Dormitories and the First Days.

After the feast and sorting , McGonagall lead them to their common rooms. Draco was still dumbfounded because beautiful Alexandra had ended up in Gryffindor. Of all places? Potter's house and the enemies of Slytherin. Why couldn't she at least end up in Ravenclaw or even Hufflepuff? Since he was Head boy along with the other three Heads, they had dormitories and common rooms to themselves. Unfortunately, McGonagall wasn't stupid enough to pair him up with Pansy and Ron with Hermione. Not that Ron and Hermione would ever do anything.

"Mr. Malfoy this is your and Hermione's quarters", she said stopping in front a portrait that showed last year's Heads. "The password is Together and will only change if you both agree to it". She opened the portrait and lead them into a beautiful common room furnished to their house colors. The common room also had a little kitchen and a library.

There were to staircases leading to their dorms. "I expect you will enjoy yourselves , good night", she said shutting the portrait door.
"Wow this is beautiful", Hermione said as she scanned the books in the library. As she was about to walk out of the library with a book in her hand, Draco stopped her at the doorway. He took the book out of her hands, waving it over her head playfully.

"Do you really want this book Granger?", he said smirking.
"Yes !", she said reaching up trying to grab it.
"What if I said you could only get it with a kiss, not that you would dare kiss me", he said confidently. Suddenly the portrait door slammed open revealing Ron, red cheeks as red as his hair.
"HERMIONE , you have got to see our quarters", he said grabbing her hand in a hurry.
"What Weasel, are the quarters bigger than your house?", he said menacingly. Ron's cheeks flushed a bright pink with embarrassment.
"DRACO, don't talk to Ron like that, Professor told us to be civil with each other!", she said glaring at him. Draco muttered a whatever and went inside his room. He took a second to admire it. Sure, it wasn't as big as his room back at the manor, but it was a big step up from last year's dormitory. His comforter was made of pure green silk. His bed was stacked with silver pillows. He laid on it staring at the ceiling, trying to conjure an image of Alexandra. Her shiny blonde hair that feel in loose silky waves. Her fair perfect complexion. Her changing eyes. Draco was in love.

Alexandra was shown into her dormitory that she shared with six other girls. They didn't like her for some reason though. They ignored her when she asked them questions and laughed whenever she talked to someone. The feast was okay, she got sorted into Gryffindor and sat next to Harry at the table. He seemed to like her, and besides the other boys, he was the only person that ever talked to her.
She settled down on her bed thinking about boys. Oh what her mom would say if she found out that she liked Harry…

Hermione laid back on the silky red sheets of her bedroom. Ron was happy about his new dorm, it was nice seeing Ron happy especially since the family drama with his brother Percy often times gave him mood swings. Then again, she knew he was mostly excited because he had asked Hermione to go with him on the upcoming Hogsmeade trip. And of course she had said yes. She liked Ron, a lot . Didn't she? She had kissed Malfoy, but she didn't like him. Right? He was nothing but an arse any way. He would never like "Mudblood" anyway… then why did he kiss her?

Alexandra got up. It was 5:00 A.M. and she couldn't go back to sleep. She decided she would take a shower and get ready for her first day. After a nice relaxing shower, she remembered Harry had offered to walk her to her classes; since they had some together and so she wouldn't get lost. She thought about Harry. His beautiful emerald eyes, his messy brown hair, his smile that made her feel relaxed.
She was nervous about him walking her to class and she wanted to look her best.

She took out her wand and started getting ready. She curled her hair and said a spell that would make sure her hair stayed fixed in the same position and the curls would stay the same. Next, she did a spell to make her hair shine. She didn't use any make up because she didn't need it. She had thick, full, curly lashes, rosy pink cheeks, blood red lips, and of course her changing eyes. They were currently an ocean blue.
She slipped on her uniform and her heels. She was ready.

Draco got up to the pounding on his door. For a second, he thought he was back at the manor. Then, he remembered that he was at Hogwarts… and so was Alexandra. He opened the door. The sight he saw shocked him. Brown silky curls, hazel brown eyes, long never ending legs, it was Granger. "Why the bloody hell are you banging on my door Granger?", he yelled still half-asleep.

"Well you insufferable git, it's 7:30 and classes start in an hour", she yelled back at him. He nodded and mumbled a response. He followed her out to the kitchen where there were two plates of blueberry pancakes.
"What's this for?", he mumbled sleepily. Her eyes sparkled as their eyes met.
"Well, I made breakfast, muggles CAN cook you know", she said smirking at him. He nodded and shoved mouthful after mouthful in his mouth. She just sat and stared.
"What?", he said in between bites. She just smiled and laughed.
She was only on her second bite when he got up.
"Thank you " , he said grinning a genuine smile at her. As he walked past her his muscular arm brushed against her shoulder
She shivered involuntarily . He couldn't help, but smile when he saw her reaction. Their eyes met, then they both looked away, embarrassed.

Alexandra entered the Great Hall, unaware of the stares she received from the entire male population. She headed towards the Gryffindor , smiling because she saw that Harry and saved her a seat.

"Hello Harry", she said smiling at him as she took a seat between him and a ginger headed boy who's jaw as hanging open. Harry was shocked when he saw her that day. Her hair was shining , her smile was blinding, her ocean blue eyes were an entrance into her heart. Ron was shocked. A blonde beauty, Harry's new friend was. Ron couldn't help, but gawk at her, her petite curvy frame, her fair complexion, and her eyes; her deep entrancing eyes. Then, the girl Ron had liked throughout his Hogwarts years walked in. Her silky brown curls, her nice fitting uniform, her smile; until he saw who was walking behind her.

Malfoy followed after Hermione through the portrait door. Hermione blushed as she realized he was following her. Malfoy couldn't help but smirk at the once bushy haired bookworm. She liked him and he could tell. Maybe this would be an interesting year after all.

Draco's eyes filled with fury when he walked into the Great Hall, he completely forgot who was walking in front of him. There was beautiful Alexandra, sitting next to Potter laughing at something he said. He'd never felt this way about a girl before. Like he wanted to strangle Potter and make sure he would never breath again. Sure, he had always hated Potter, but that was for other reasons. He was even more infuriated when he saw Hermione take a seat next to Ron who put his arm around her. It made him sick. What made him even sicker was when he sat at the Slytherin table and Pansy started to cling to him and running her hand along his leg.

"Get off me Pansy !", he yelled pushing her off the bench. Her eyes welled up in fear and embarrassment. "I don't like you, and I never did, nor will I ever!", he said causing her tears to stream down her face.
His voice lowered to a whisper as he glared into her eyes and said "You're an ugly pug-faced whore and a disgrace to the entire Pureblood line." He knew he had definitely hit a spot when she ran out of the Great Hall sobbing.
"Hahaahahaha my man", Blaise said clapping Draco on the back.
"Finally, you got rid of her", he laughed. Then, his voice lowered intensively, "Got any missions from the Dark Lord lately?" Draco shook his head as he only had eyes for Alexandra, who was now staring into Potter's eyes. Blaise then met his gaze, and he knew that Draco had actually fallen for a girl. And hard.
"Uhh I'll catch up with you later Blaise, I already ate in the Heads Quarters earlier", he said getting up, never taking his eyes off her.

Hermione hurried to her first class, Potions with the Slytherins and Snape. Ugh what a way to start her first day. As she rushed towards the dungeons she bumped into a distracted blonde male.
"Oh, sorry I was a little distracted", he said helping her gather her books.
"Oh uh it's okay" she said as they both bumped heads trying to pick up the same books. That's when Draco realized where he was. They both met each other's eyes unable to look away.
"I-We should get going, don't want to be late for Potions", she finally picked up the last book and got up. They walked quickly the remainder of the way in silence. He even let her go in first and quickly followed after.

Once again, Alexandra was next to Pothead, sharing a cauldron. Ron looked up, his eyes filled with anger as he saw ferret face behind Hermione, again. Snape wasn't in the room yet so everyone was still socializing with each other. Ron stood up.
He put his arm around Hermione and glared at Draco, "Keep away from her stupid ferret face", he said. Draco ignored him, pushed past him towards Harry and Alexandra's table.

"Hey baby", he said sitting on the table putting Alexandra's hand in his. She pulled her hand away and pushed Draco off as Harry stood up. "Get away from her Malfoy, she obviously doesn't want you", he said viciously pushing Draco causing him to fall over Parvati's cauldron.
"Mr. Potter, fighting on the first day ehh?", Professor Snape sneered at Harry his eyes glistening.
"Professor Snape Draco was trying t-", he was interrupted by Professor Snape.
"I don't care Potter, that'll be 10 points from Gryffindor and be thankful it isn't more", he paused. "…And the rest of you, get your hormonal selves back in your seats and pull out your books." He then stopped in front of Alexandra , "Well well well, pretty little thing like you seems to be causing a lot of trouble , I suggest you focus less on your beauty and more on your school work!", he sneered at her.

Harry leaned in towards her, "Don't take it personally, he treats anyone that isn't from his house like that". She nodded and smiled at Harry. He leaned in further, "D-Do you want to go to Hogsmeade with me this weekend?", he said grinning at her. She nodded again and this time brought a finger to her lips pointing at Snape who as lecturing. She winked at him as she took his hand in hers under the table. He grinned. Seventh year was looking good.

Alexandra couldn't believe what she was doing. She was holding Harry's hand acting like it was something she did every day, but secretly her heart was beating with worry. What about if her mom found out? Would she take her out of school ? What about Draco? She sighed. She would have to worry about that later.

Draco walked along the corridor and spit at the ground bitterly.
