Disclaimer: Okay I don't own Harry Potter or anything to do with it, like the characters, except my own.
Author's notes: Well I'm going to get right into the story. ^^
"Bye mom!" I shouted, finding myself somehow swept onto to train with the crowd.
"Bye honey! Have fun! Good luck! I'll write everyday!!!" She called back, barely visible through the crowd.
I had already hugged her and my great-grandparents goodbye, and now I was heaving my luggage onto the already packed train.
How am I going to find Sam and Marie? Or maybe Ron, Harry and Hermione…nah I just met them. That would be awkward.
I adjusted my belt, and pulled down my t-shirt over long-sleeved purple and white shirt. I tried to keep myself from passing out on the floor as soon as I found an empty berth.
Thank God! Or…as they would say… *sarcastically* praise Merlin!
Squealing with delight, I tossed my suitcase onto the checkered forest and light green seat to the left, and jumped onto the opposite seat. I tried to put on a confident face, though my stomach was saying just the opposite.
Malfoy's POV
Shit. Another effing year at Hoggy Hogwarts, and Potty, Weasel and the Mudblood are bound to bug me endlessly.
"Hey Draco!! Draaaaco!!!!"
What the HELL do you want?!
I reluctantly turned around, and almost collided with Pansy Parkinson. Pansy was the head of Slytherin girls, and follows me around endlessly, like a love-sick puppy. It's quite annoying actually, not to mention the fact that she looks like a pug. All she needs is the drool constantly hanging out of her mouth.
"Hey Draco! How was your summer?" she asked, obviously waiting for an answer, because after a few seconds of me not responding, she gave a whimper, and I could swear her eyes got 50 times larger.
"Uh…it was fine." I replied dully, hoping that that would shake her off.
Sadly, it didn't work.
"That's good! Mine was excellent! I went with my parents to watch the Sisters and---"
I wasn't listening. I had somehow wandered onto the train with Pansy, and walked over to our usual berth.
"----Draco? Draco, are you listening?!"
WHAT the hell is going on?!
I stared at my berth, a look of disbelieve written all over my face.
I don't believe it. EVERYONE knows that this is my berth. Mine. So…why am I seeing this?
Those new girls….what are their names? Whatever. Anyway, they were sitting there, luggage carelessly tossed on the opposite seat.
"Yeah. So I felt bad. You know, leaving everybody and---Oh." The girl that I had met in Olivanndar's Wands, who was chatting happily only moments before, had stopped suddenly when she saw me.
An odd look crossed her face, and I took it as a smile.
"What are you smiling about?" I asked coldly.
"Um well I thought---" she replied, looking hurt.
"You thought you could steal my berth!" I said, eyes narrowed.
God can't they get it through their thick heads that they effing STOLE this from me?! Draco Malfoy?!
"Look" she replied hotly, suddenly having a change of attitude," We're new hear and obviously we didn't know that you normally use this berth!"
"Aww! Look at the wittle firs' years!" Pansy mocked in a baby voice.
"We are NOT first years!" The second of the girls yelled.
She had black skin and dark brown eyes, which were now full with annoyance.
"Hey! Don't you DARE talk that way to us!!!" Pansy shrieked, taking a step toward her.
My (Emily's) POV
I stared silently at Draco, who stood there with an unbelievable calmness despite the situation displayed before him. His gray eyes drifted lazily from me to Marie to Sam, and then finally to the hideous, pug-looking girl to his right, who was ready to blow her head.
The girl took a small step towards Sam, who was now standing up.
Heh…does she mean that to frighten us?
"Hey! Back off." I warned, finally standing up and narrowing my eyes at her.
"Hey. I have an idea. Why don't you three get out of my berth and leave us alone." Malfoy said, his blue-gray eyes intensely staring at us.
I gulped, and felt extremely vulnerable under his gaze. Stealing a glance at Marie, I silently pleaded for help. But then I realized that she was looking at me to do something. I sighed, and closed the few steps between me, Malfoy and the extremely short black-haired girl.
"Look. There's no need to cause all this trouble. I mean we're new here and I'm sorry that we stole your berth, but, like I said before, we didn't know." I said hurriedly, tugging at a chestnut curl and gesturing to our luggage on the seat.
Malfoy's POV
What did she say….?
I stared dumbfounded at her, and couldn't help but noticing the way her eyes darted nervously around my face, searching for a response.
It's kind of cute….NO! Snap out of it, Draco.
"Fine. Stay here. I don't want it anyway, after you three had contaminated it." I finally said, trying my best to sound absolutely disgusted.
The girl smiled sweetly, but there was a lot of sarcasm in her voice as she replied, " Thank you, Draco. That was nice of you."
"Yeah, well don't get used to it." I retorted.
Shit. By now all the good berths will be taken, and I'll be forced to share with…*shiver*….Potter and the Mudblood.
"Oh, and, by the way…what are your names? You know…to uh…erm…" I asked, suddenly nervous and confused as I looked at their confused faces, and Pansy's annoying gasp of horror.
A smirk spread across her face as she sat down, all the while staring at me.
Oh….SHIT! Why did I do that?!
"My name is Emily…Emily Collins." She said finally, picking up a thick book from the red, carpeted floor.
She stared at the others expectantly, and when they didn't answer, she elbowed them in the side. My God if looks could kill….
"What?!" the girl with red-brown hair answered through clenched teeth," I'm not giving my name to THEM!"
Emily sighed impatiently.
"Ignore them." She said, glaring at her friend.
Oh that won't be a problem.
"Anyway that was Marie and this is Sam." She said, gesturing to the girl who had stood up to Pansy before.
My (Emily's) POV
That was so RUDE of them! After all that we've been through with those two, then they should at least do it just to throw them off our backs!
Still infuriated at Marie and Sam, I looked at Draco.
"Well I'm Draco Malfoy, and this….this is Pansy….Parkinson. And if you wish to live through the year, then it'll do you good to be in Slytherin." Draco said, glaring at Sam and Marie.
He raised his eyebrows into a perfect, white-blonde arch, and disappeared with Pansy trailing behind.
