okay, here's chapter 2. it's filled with lots of talking and i own the two new OC's in here, Tara and Jason. so, read and review please! (:

Eventually the train began to slow and I knew we were coming to the station at Hogsmead. I put my stuff away in my trunk and got my messenger bag with my notebooks and sketch pads.

I saw Draco exit his compartment at the same time that he saw me. When he did, his face softened and my Draco, the artist and the romantic was looking at me. "Vikki!" he called down the hall to me.

"Hi Draco." I said as coldly as I could manage. Of course I was still mad at Draco for being a pussy, but I still loved him.

"What's that about?" he asked as he walked up to me. He looked hurt, but that was nothing compared to the way I felt when he broke my heart and left me depressed for months.

"I think you know what it's about." I answered, pulling up my fishnet stockings. That was the one thing I did to be myself, other than dye my hair bright pink and pierce my lips, I wore fishnets with my uniform. It wasn't really necessary since everyone already knew that I was a scene kid, but I did it all the same.

"Still!? Even though I told you a million times that I was sorry?" he asked taking my waist and turning me around to face him. His grey eyes took in my face as I began to answer.

"Yes Draco. Even though you tell me how sorry you are every time we talk. You don't know how badly you hurt me." I said, dislodging myself from his grip. I continued to walk down the hall to the end of the train.

"Vikki, I'm so sorry. That was the worst mistake I've ever made. Not even joining Voldemort was a bigger mistake!" he said walking behind me. "You were the only good thing in my life."

"Draco. . ." I started, but as soon as I turned around to say what I've always wanted to say, the doors opened and the children began to pour out of the train. "We'll talk later, when you can get some time away from Pansy." I finally said. I stepped out of the train and began to lead the 2nd through 7th years towards the carriages as Draco directed the 1st years towards Hagrid.

As soon as the last of the older students got into the second to last carriage, Draco came over and held the door for me. "Thanks." I said. We rode in silence up to the castle. "Have fun with Pansy." I said, giving him one last loving look before getting out of the carriage and walking in the Great Hall with my friend Tara, who was waiting for me.

Tara Walker has been my best friend since primary school. We were both overjoyed the summer we got our Hogwarts letters. "Vik, don't you think you're being too hard on him?" she asked after I had finished telling her what had happened on the train between Draco and i.

"I don't know Tata, would you be okay if Jason had broken up with you for someone else?" I asked her. Jason is her fiancé; they've been dating since first year.

"Okay, I guess I can see your point, but did you ever tell him how strongly you felt about him?" she said, thinking about it for a second. She and Jason had been inseparable since I introduced them 1st year, like Draco and I had been until he left me for Pansy.

"Are you kidding?! I was 14 years old! You aren't even supposed to know what love is at 14." I replied, sitting down at the Slytherin table.

"Well, maybe now that you're 17, you could tell him now." She suggested. I looked at her like she was stupid. "look, I'm just saying if you tell him now, it might not be too late for you to get him back."

"Do you really think so?" I asked, waving to Jason as he came over to sit with us. "Hey Jay." I said.

"Hi Vik!" he said, kissing my cheek. "How are you?"

"I'm okay. I made Head Girl." I said, showing him my badge.

"That's awesome! Congratulations!" he said, high-fiving me.

"Thanks." I said, smiling. I looked up the table and saw Pansy all over Draco again. "Ugh, gross." I said nodding in their direction. I knew Draco didn't like it, but he had to pretend.

"Maybe you can be 'the other girl.'" Jason said picking up on the conversation. "You know, the girl who gets everything, including the ring, and then the guy?"

"I don't want to share though! I'm extremely jealous!" I replied.

"Hey, it was just an idea, think it over. It's either that or don't get the guy at all."

"Coming from the guy who was ready to propose the minute he saw his girl at 11 years old!" I said, jokingly. "And besides, if I was 'the other girl,' I'd be just like Alex, my dad's girlfriend."

"Oh my God, I completely forgot! I'm so sorry!" Jason said.

"It's okay, don't worry about it." I said. After the first years were sorted and Dumbledore gave his beginning of the year speech, he then dismissed everyone and Draco and I had to make sure that everyone got to their dorms alright.

As I was walking down the dungeon steps to the Slytherin dorm, I was stopped by Professor Snape. "Miss Becker, I need to see you in my office."

"Yes, sir." I said as the rumor from last year began to run through my head again. Last year, people were saying that 7th years were called into his office and then they fooled around with him. I knew better though, seeing as Severus Snape is my godfather.

"Snape was my mother's best friend at school, and then he helped us out a lot when my dad left. We walked into his office and he shut the door. "What's going on Sev?" I asked, sitting in the chair in front of his desk.

"Well, Vikki, it seems that you have to share a dorm with Mr. Malfoy." He said, looking at my face to gauge my reaction.

"Are you serious?!" I asked, surprised. "We have to live together? No way." I said.

"Sweetheart, I'm sorry. I know what he did, but it's the new rule."

"Well, it's stupid." I said, pouting.

"Will you stop that? You're 17 years old for crying out loud!!"

"Sorry. It works with mom." I said, smiling.

"It would. Johanna was always a softie."

"Okay, well good night I guess. See you tomorrow." I said, hugging him and walking to the very end of the hallway where a portrait hung on the wall by itself. I knocked on the frame and Draco pushed it open. "Hi." I said, not really looking at him.

"I was wondering when you'd get here." He said, moving so that I could walk in. "You're bedroom's right here across from mine." He showed me my separate room. "Good night." He said, kissing my forehead and closing his door.

This was the moment that I decided I would be 'the other girl.' I was no longer going to pretend that I was over him and that my feelings were gone. Pansy was going to learn what it felt like to fight a Becker. And lose.
