Disclaimer: Sadly I do not own the wonderful pieces of fiction J.K. Rowling has written. If I did, I would be Harry's wife in all the books and severely hurt any girl who looked at him with a twinkle in her eye………uhhhh, I didn't just say that ok? Ok.

Thank you for reading chapter one and I hope you enjoy chapter 2 as much or more!

Emily turned to see two ice-like blue eyes, almost blocked by platinum blonde hair, staring down at her. She tried to scream at him and tell him to go away, but she couldn't open her mouth. She tried to push him away, but her whole body seemed immobile. His arms were still around her waist when he pulled her towards him and whispered in her ear. She felt as if she were in a trance, hypnotized by his stare. He whispered to her something, some directions, something about letting it bite you and then, he was gone. Emily had no idea of the events that had just transpired in front of her.

She shook her head as if to shake away the feeling of fear that had just settled over her. Emily looked around and then found Matthew, Luke, and Lavender once more and walked towards them.

"Hey guys." Emily said as she looked around the small circle that had formed, made up of her friends.

"Hey Em!" Lavender said as she ran over to Emily and hugged her fiercely. While doing this she pulled Emily away from the boys a bit.

"I know what happened over the summer was hard, but don't let it get to you ok?" she said.

We had both agreed on not telling the boys what happened yet until I could sort things out with Malfoy, my ex.

"Eh, don't worry about it. I've had time to prepare myself. I knew talking to him would be hard so I thought I might as well practice doing it." Emily said.

We both laughed and then walked over to Matthew and Luke.

"What was that about?" Luke asked nervously.

"Nothing much, just us girls talking about what girls talk about. You wouldn't be interested, trust me." Lavender said.

"Oh, but I'm interested." Matthew said huskily as he pulled Lavender close to him and planted a big old kiss on Lavender's lips.

"Uck! Get a room you two!" Emily said as she watched her two friends.

She ached inside however, for a relationship just like that. Where one could kiss their lover like there was no tomorrow.

"Yeah. Haven't you ever heard of PDA?" Luke said disgustedly sarcastic, eyeing Emily strangely.

Emily couldn't figure out what was different about him. It had to be something small, but it just wouldn't come to her. His hair was long, down to his ears; his hair color was dark brown, as it always had been.

'Ah, now I know, it's his eyes. They're different. They're not green like the used to be. They're…..they're icy blue.' Emily thought to herself.

"Hey Lue, did you get contacts or something? Your eyes are a different color than they used to be." Emily asked.

"Uh," he paused, "Well, I…" he paused again, then "Erm, no, of course not. Why would I need contacts." He fidgeted a bit with his hair and then said, "I need to…uh, go to the bathroom, and I'll be back." He said.

As Luke walked away she still felt something was different abouthim. Suddenly,something caused Emily to have a flashback of the past few minutes. She remembered those ice blue eyes, but she didn't know if Malfoy was here. He was the only one with that color eyes she could remember.

"What's gotten into him?" Lavender asked Matthew.

"Dunno, he's been like that ever since he came out of the bathroom about 2 hours ago. We'd better get a compartment on the train, it's gonna leave soon." Matthew said.

"Yeah, here, Matt will take your stuff; we'll find a place for all of us. You wait on Luke." Lavender said as she grabbed Matt's arm after he got my stuff onto his cart.

"Jeez! What did you put in this thing! It's bloody heavy!" Matt said as he picked up Emily's bag.

"I packed my whole room! What else!" Emily said and then laughed.

When Matthew and Lavender caught on that it was a joke they laughed too.

"Alright, I'll wait for Luke." Emily said.

She watched her friends walk off towards the train and she turned around to wait for Luke. She began to look around for the boy that she had seen when she first arrived. He looked so familiar but she just couldn't place him. She had seen his photo somewhere at her house but she didn't know who he was. She gave up thinking when she saw someone walk out of the bathroom. It wasn't Luke, it was…..Malfoy. Emily turned a slight shade of pink when she saw he was looking at her.

He walked straight over to her, seeing her discomfort. His eyes gleaming, wearing that annoyingly cute little smirk he always had plastered on his handsome face.

'WILL POWER' Emily reminded herself inwardly. 'You MUST be stern with him, find out what happened' she thought.

"Hello Emmy. How's your summer been? I see you're still wearing that tan of yours. It looks lovely on you." Malfoy said as he reached his hand up to Emily's cheek and caressed it ever- so – sweetly.

She felt a fluttering sensation in her stomach. She began to remember the good old times she used to have with Malfoy. She remembered sneaking out in the middle of the night at Hogwarts numerous times last year, going outside in the rain and just sitting together when they had their evening classes off, Malfoy's head on Emily's lap, talking to each other about their plan for life. And then there was the intense memory of just a few weeks ago when they were at the beach in America. Malfoy had come to her hotel room at night, and they snuck out onto the beach together. They walked for a few miles, holding hands, telling each other their deepest desires when out of nowhere Malfoy stopped her. He had turned her towards him and gazed into her eyes, as if he could see them together forever. He had opened his mouth to speak, but Emily felt she knew what he would say, and she had waited for that moment ever since she started dating him. He told her he loved her, that he truly deeply loved her.

"Hello, Earth to Emmy." He said.

"Oh," Emily said, "summer, uh, it's been good. You?" she said indifferently.

"It was fine until out of no where my girlfriend, who by the way, I thought loved me as much as I did, and still do, broke up with me for some unknown reason." He said a bit angrily.

'Great, he brought it up. He wasn't supposed to. I was supposed to. I'm the one who's supposed to be mad at him. He's not supposed to be mad at me!' Emily thought to herself.

At that moment, as if God had sent her an angel, Luke walked out of the bathroom and over to Emily.

"Oh, hey Em, when did you get here?" he said, and then he noticed Malfoy standing next to him and said, "Hey 'Foy."

Draco grimaced at being called 'Foy.

"I would prefer you call me either 'Draco' or 'Malfoy', Lue." Draco responded adding emphasis on Luke's nickname.

"I'll talk to you later about summer. We have to go find Matt and Lavender on the train." Emily said to Draco, then turned to Luke and said, "The others are on the train. Let's go find them before they do something they'll regret later in life." Emily said and then walked away with Luke's hand in hers, dragging him towards the train.

Emily turned and looked for Malfoy, but he had walked off in another direction. She turned to look behind her and saw another man walking out of the bathroom. He was tall and lanky, she couldn't see his face, and barely even knew him but she had a foreboding feeling about him. Then he snapped his head up, and stared at her. She felt sick to her stomach looking into his eyes, and all of the sudden, she froze. She couldn't move, and she felt as if her heart had stopped altogether. Luke started pulling at her trying to get her on the train, but she wouldn't budge.

All of the sudden, Emily heard a voice in her head.

'My Queen' it said.

The man made a brief bowing motion, and glided away. At that exact moment the Hogwarts express gave a loud whistle, and Emily snapped into the present. She ran over to the train and hopped on, with Luke behind her, before it started moving.

"What the bloody hell was that about, Em? We almost missed the train!" Luke asked, sounding a bit perturbed.

"I…I don't know…" Emily said, confused.

He gave her a funny look and then asked, "So where are the two lovebirds?"

"I don't know. They said they'd find us a spot, and then got on the train, and then left me to wait for you." Emily said, still confused about what happened.

"Oh," he said, then, "you think they'd be in one of the compartment's with the curtains drawn?"

"I dunno. We could always just knock on those ones and ask." Emily said.

"Yeah, alright that'll work." Luke responded.

So they made their way down the aisle of the train looking into each of the compartments whose curtains were opened or closed. On the way Emily was looking for the boy she had seen earlier. It was so annoying to her that she couldn't remember his name. She thought that maybe if she saw the picture again she would remember. So she devised a plan. When she got to Hogwarts she would send Nighty out with a letter to her mother asking her to find the picture and tell her who it was, and that she thought she'd seen the boy at her school. They finally found the compartment that Lavender and Matt were in, and the curtains had been closed for some lovey-dovey time. Luke opened the door for Emily and closed it after they were both inside. Emily hadn't found the boy but she hoped he was in some of her classes so she could get to know him and find out why his picture was in her attic. Emily was exhausted by her day so far and thought it would be best to take a nap. So she curled up in the corner of the compartment, near the window, and fell asleep.

When Emily awoke the boys were exiting the compartment to get food so the girls should change into their robes.

"You want anything sleeping beauty?" Luke asked Emily, noticing that she had awoken.

"Erm, yeah…get me, uh...I dunno just get me whatever you get." She said as she reached in her pocket to get out some coins.

"Don't worry about it; I'll get it for you." Luke said, and then the boys were off to find the food cart.

The girls pulled the curtains together and brought down their trunks, and turned opposite of each other so as to leave the other some privacy.

"You know Luke likes you right?" Lavender asked.

"Yeah, I sort of knew. How do you know? Did you ask?" Emily asked as she pulled on an article of clothing.

"No, I didn't ask but you can tell he likes you." She said.

"Oh yeah? How?" I said defiantly.

"You want me to list them?" she said as she too pulled something over her head.

"No." Emily said as she heaved a sigh of despair, knowing she was right.

"Ah, so you do know." She said.

"Yes." Emily said.

"So why don't you go out with him instead of Draco?" She said as she shut her trunk and began to put it back up in its place.

"Because Draco told me he loves….." Emily said and then slapped her hand over her mouth.

Lavender dropped her trunk and it sprang open as she spun around to look Emily in the eyes.

"He said WHAT!" she yelled.

Draco had made Emily promise not to tell anyone that he had said he loved her because she would be a target for his enemies, if word got out.

"Don't tell anyone, please, please, please don't say a word about it." Emily begged.

"Why?" she asked, and then said, "Matt hasn't even told me that yet! I should tell him at least!"

"NO." Emily said sternly, "He told me not to tell anyone and I've already screwed up!" Emily said, angry with herself for not watching what she said to people.

"Em, you're not going out with him any longer. You can tell me." Lavender probed as she picked up her trunk and placed it back where it was.

"No, it's not like that, he still does, he told me today. I saw him when I was waiting for Luke. He told me he still did, Lav. He said he still loved me. I can't imagine why, if he really was cheating on me with that other girl." Emily said.

"Oh." Lavender said, and then flushed.

"Oh good God, what? What is it" Emily asked as she too put her trunk up.

"Um, I found out later that the girl he was supposedly cheating on you with," she said and then paused.

"Yes, go on…" Emily said.

"Was his," she paused, and then grimaced, waiting for Emily to yell, telling her to go on, "Cotillion teacher"
