She stood there in her robes which looked slightly oversized but fitting. Beside her was Luna probably having been assigned to show her around and keep an eye on her. Luna looked fine even friendly with her which surprised everyone. Amelia just looked around with a blank expression but occasionally showing a smile to Luna.

Even more shocking to everyone around Luna led Amelia to the Griffindor Table to sit down with her. The whispers started again talking about how she looked and how she isn't in slytherin house.

"Curious, don't you think." Hermione stated. While continuing the watch the behaviour of the girl throughout the meal she tried to listen in to the convocation between her and Luna who now seemed friendly.

When people were exiting the meal a group of Slytherins made their way towards to Amelia and gather around stopping her from exiting. She turned to Luna and told her to meet her back in the common room.

Grins are wiped across the groups faces almost like an evil welcoming party. Amelia shows a blank face although she feels a little frightful of what to expect inside. A boy came forward and announced himself.

"The names Gerald, welcome Amelia Riddle, My father is a follower of yours and so is most of our parents it would be good if we got to know each other for the future. Did I mention my father has a large amount of money making be perfect partner for the future." He was smirking as if he was enjoying trying to stake claim on Amelia first trying to bring pride to his family.

"Lovely my name is Amelia Riddle as you so rightfully managed to string together under all of that fake personality of yours." She surprisingly stood her ground unlike the innocent girl she looked like when with Luna.

"How dare you speak to me like that, your father should have disciplined you, I guess I will have to instead!" He raised his hand to hit her around the face but someone else intercepted the poser.

To turn everyone's head Draco Malfoy grabbed the wrist of Gerald and flung him back. To then only put his arm around Amelia smiling down at her. This was out of character for him normally he was the one wondering around being prejudice and arrogant. Amelia may be his one weakness.

"Who the hell do you think you are Draco Malfoy?!" Gerald was more than angry that possibly someone had beaten him to Amelia but especially Malfoy, Draco's father had always been ahead of his own and Gerald was always put into place by the family.

"I know not think that I have known Amelia since we were little and she would no way like a person like you and one of such low class." He smirked at the last comment so Amelia hit him softly as if to tell him to stop enjoying it so much.

"I can make my own mind up about people thank you Gerald." Amelia bluntly delivered the last blow to his ego.

By then Draco was leading Amelia off to her common room which to his disappointment was not allowed to go in, in meant that it limited his time with the girl he had liked and had a soft spot for ever since they were little.

Amelia was still oblivious to this thinking he was a childhood best friend. Without him she would have had a tough time growing up with next to nobody to talk to, no one ever understood her and anyone who tried to be friends with her soon backed off when they found out who her father was.

The walk back to the common room was silent as Amelia didn't know what to say, she hadn't told Draco that she was going to attend Hogwarts because when she found out the sorting hat had put her into Griffindor, she was scared he may be ashamed and not talk to her.

Before she knew it they had taken a detour into the grounds and Draco signalled for her to sit down on the bench beside him. It was awkward for a moment within the silence but then he broke the silence by speaking.

"Why didn't you tell me, I was shocked to see you here, I thought we told each other everything ever since we made the promise in my bedroom to tell each other all our worrys."

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to upset you or make you angry, but I am not in Slytherin."

"What's the problem with that, I don't mind and you shouldn't either, did you think I wasn't going to find out!" With that a small tear started trailing down Amelia's cheek, Draco never yelled at her and the new experience wasn't something she liked.

Straight away Draco felt guilt over not having handled the situation better and so he did all he knew how to with Amelia, which was to bring her in for a hug."

"I'm sorry Amelia." The sorrow could be heard in his voice. She just nodded in confirmation.

They thought they were alone but really there was two people watching them. One under the comfort of his invisibility cloak. The other behind a wall listening in and occasionally glancing.
