Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter at all. If I did, then everything happening in this fic would be happening in the series xD.
Author's Note: Thanks for the reviews/favorites so far! Really means a lot to me :) Well, enjoy this second chapter!
Freya, Lucretia, and I had thankfully skipped the crowd of people walking to the common room and used one of the unknown passages to get there much faster. When we arrived, we spoke the secret word and entered. We weren't the only ones there. There were some other Slytherins already occupying the best chairs by the fire. We weren't the only smart ones. I sighed. How much I would've like to sit there with the girls and just ramble on aimlessly about the future years.
I saw Kingsley Ranshaw sitting by himself on a small love seat next to the fire place, seeming to be waiting for someone. Kingsley was probably the most attractive Slytherin in my year. He had mahogany colored hair, reaching his shirt collar, and smooth, olive skin. He was really a sight to be seen. Surprisingly, he was single. This gave many girls the chance to try and win him over, but he always denied them. Then I caught his eye and he smirked. He often came to me for girl advice and I would happily comply. This helped us form a friendship.
I told the girls to go to their rooms without me and that I'd be there soon. When they were gone, I turned back to Kingsley, who was sitting there and smirking up at me. He patted the seat next to him and I rolled my eyes. Walking over, I looked at him through my eye lashes. This trick had worked on most boys I flirted with, so I figured him no different than the others. I sat next to him. "So...how are you and Clara Flint?" He brushed a hand through his hair and chuckled as I interrogated him.
"We are over. She couldn't compare with my intellect." I smiled at his ego.
"What intellect?" I replied. He laughed.
"So, have your eye on anyone this year?" He said wiggling his eyebrows. I blushed and shook my head furiously.
"Never! You know how I feel about," I paused to add a dramatic flare, "your kind." He smiled at this.
"You know, you've become quite popular this year." It was my turn to raise my eyebrows.
"Excuse me? It hasn't even been a full day and I'm already 'popular'? You have got to be kidding me." I said seriously.
"Believe me, Em. I wish I were." I rolled my eyes at his comment. I saw Scorpius and his 'pick of the week' enter the room. It was the first day and he already had a girlfriend? Stupid womanizer. I couldn't blame the girl that was attached to his arm, though. He was devilishly handsome. His blonde hair was messy, but in a good way. And he had the same stone cold eyes as he had when I first met him in our first year. I saw Scorpius look our way and I whipped my head back to Kingsley. He looked confused than looked over to where I was.
"Oh great. You attracted Malfoy. Good job, Em." He said, chuckling at the end. I was about to smack him, but we were interrupted. My stare had practically forced Scorpius to come over. He was always a curious one. Probably came over to see what we were chatting about.
"Hello, boring. How are you today? Depressed we don't have class?" He smirked, aiming the snarky comment towards me. He had occasionally made fun of me for being so studious in the past, but I felt that this year it would be different.
"Actually, I was happy, until you walked in." I said standing up from the seat. "Because your presence disgusts me so much, I'm going to leave. Good day, Scorpius." I said sternly towards him, slightly waving 'bye' to Kingsley and walking up the stairs to my dorms. I heard laughing below and stopped, peaking over the railing. Scorpius was no sitting by the fire with the rest of the 'populars' and was laughing at something Kingsley was saying. With his 'girlfriend' on his lap, he looked away from the speaker and stared up at me. He winked. And that's when I knew that this year would be a truly eventful one.
Sorry for it being so short! (Sorry for typos, too)I wrote a whole lot for my other fic today and was pooped out. I really wanted to upload a chapter, though. So this will be kind of like a filler chapter. Do you like it so far? Please review! Thanks!
