As the Hogwarts Express made its way down the tracks toward the magnificent wizarding school, the last compartment was abuzz with students coming in and out. The compartment held Cherish, and the slytherin heartthrob himself, Draco Malfoy. Other slytherins made their way in and out, paying their respects to their lady. Cherish sat there, staring blankly at each student as they came in and bowed to her and Draco before leaving.
The blonde turned his head to look at Cherish, "Pathetic isn't it?" he asked as she turned her head to look at him, "Pathetic how much they grovel for our approval." Cherish nodded before turning back to look at the next student that came in. She took out her wand, Sirius' wand, and pointed it at the student, "Tell the others lined up behind you that I no longer wish to be disturbed, so many of you coming in and out with just cause suspicion amongst the teachers." The student shook in fear and nodded his head before leaving.
Draco grinned at her, "Nicely done darling." He wrapped an arm around her shoulders and pulled her close before whispering in her ear, "Now just relax love, it won't be long before we get to that pathetic excuse of a school. I start my mission and you will start you revenge against Potter." Cherish rested against him and closed her eyes, and it wasn't long before she drifted off to sleep.
A few hours later, Draco woke the sleeping girl, lightly shaking her until he saw her eyes flutter open, "We're here love." He whispered to her softly, showing a side of him that only she ever saw. When she opened her eyes, she noticed the compartment was completely empty, and that their luggage had already been removed, "Professor Snape requested I escort you to Dumbledore's office where you will be sorted privately." Cherish nodded to him and allowed him to lead her to the carriages. She made no outward comment at the sight of the winged bat-like horses which pulled the carriages, already knowing what they are.
"Beautiful creatures aren't they?" Draco asked her as the carriages took them to the large castle that loomed over them. She looked over at him and nodded, "They are wonderful. I only wish they were easier to control." She turned back to look at the thestral, her head tilted to the side as she examined the creature, "I'm sure father would love to have these things at his beck and call." She smirked and Draco smirked at her, "I'm sure he would love."
Cherish and Draco walked side-by-side into the Great Hall, surrounded by his goons and the other Slytherins, just trying to get a glimpse at the daughter of the lord their parents risked their lives serving. Cherish held her head high, knowing she was above all that surrounded her. She had just come back from Dumbledore's office, having been sorted into Slytherin, with Snape watching proudly off to the side. Draco had lifted her into his arms and spun her around when she had come out of the office and told him what house she had been sorted into.
As the mob of slytherins entered the hall, all conversation stopped and everyone's attention was turned to the doors. The mob dispersed to the table, leaving Draco and Cherish standing there, looking like a proud, royal couple, which in their world, they were. Draco took her hand and guided her to their spot at the table, the space open for them to sit and guarded on all sides by Crabbe, Goyle, and Nott, Blaise taking up the space to the right of Nott.
Cherish sat in her seat and looked around the hall around her, noticing everyone's eyes on her. She turned her attention to Snape and nodded her head, making him clear his throat loudly for all to hear, the noise causing all the eyes on her to turn away and normal conversation to slowly begin again, the topic surrounding the mysterious new slytherin queen that had joined the ranks of the army of future death eaters.
