A/N: Recently I've become super obsessed with Twilight again! Haha, actually, right now I'm trying to reread Goblet of Fire and Eclipse. I can't decide which to read first, so I'm just reading them at the same time! Anyways, here goes another chapter. I'm pretty excited for this story. It might very well be the only story, besides The Truth About Hermione Granger, that I have finished so far! Well, enjoy this chapter, and don't forget the feedback. (:
"So, Draco, how long have you been at Hogwarts?" Nessie asked the handsome boy.
"This will be my fourth year," he replied, "and I find it quite fascinating, actually. I'm in Slytherin, of course. Best house of them all!"
Nessie laughed. "Tell me more about magic, Draco. What are the four houses? What are the classes like? Is it hard?"
Draco looked intently at her face. "I'm not going to lie, Nessie. In Slytherin, we usually look down on people like you, from non-magical parents. Except, you're special. I'll protect you from the other kids who are mean. There are four houses in all. There's Slytherin, which is best. Then there's Ravenclaw, where all the smartest kids are accepted. Next is Hufflepuff, and finally Gryffindor. I, personally, don't like them. Bunch of showoffs, if you ask me. The classes are not too hard. Boring, really."
Nessie smiled happily. "I can't wait to get there. What house do you think I'll be in?"
"Hopefully, you'll be in Slytherin. With me," Draco flirted. Nessie blushed.
"Draco, I have to use the bathroom. Is there one on the train?" Nessie asked, more as an excuse to get out and catch her breath. This boy was something else!
"Just go out into the corridor, turn left, and go straight down. It's in the back. Need me to walk you?" Draco instructed with a cute smile. Nessie declined, thanked him, and said she'll be right back.
Once out of sight from the glass door, Nessie stopped and breathed in heavily. Back in the compartment, she tried to keep telling herself that Jacob would be hut if she developed a crush on Draco, but she couldn't help it. He was so sweet! Nessie fingered her woven bracelet that she had gotten from Jacob when she was just a little kid. It was the Quileute version of a promise ring, Nessie had been told. Wanting to hug her Jake, Nessie dropped her wrist and turned quickly to go to the restroom. However, she bumped into someone.
"Oh, I'm sor-" she started to say, but was interrupted by the boy.
"No, it was my fault. I'm sorry," he smiled at her. Looking into his emerald green eyes, Nessie said, "I'm Nessie Cullen. What's your name?"
"Hello, Nessie. I'm Harry Potter. Are you a first year?" Harry asked kindly. Nessie nodded.
"Let me introduce you to my best friends. They're just right in here," Harry said, pointing at the compartment a few doors down.
"Alright," Nessie said, and followed him back.
Ron stared as Nessie came into the room. Hermione looked at him painfully, and then turned her gaze on the gorgeous first year in front of her. She, too, thought that Nessie was exceptionally beautiful.
"Guys, this is Nessie Cullen, a new student here. Nessie, this is Ron Weasley, and Hermione Granger. Sitting next to Ron is his sister, Ginny, and next to her is Neville Longbottom. Next to Neville is Luna." Harry pointed each student out as he said their names, and Nessie smiled at them all.
"Hi, guys. What house are you all in?" Nessie asked, shyly.
"We're all in Gryffindor," Hermione said, smiling, "except for Luna. She's in Ravenclaw."
"Oh. How old are you guys?"
"All of us are 14, in our fourth year, except for Ginny and Luna. They're 13, in their third year," Harry said, and Nessie smiled at him again.
"So you all must know Draco. Are you friends with him?" Nessie asked.
"That foul git? Merlin's beard, no. Malfoy is the biggest jerk Hogwarts has ever seen!" Ron exclaimed, and Nessie looked at him funny.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't know you didn't like him. Well, I'm just off to the bathroom. It was nice meeting you all! Bye, Harry," Nessie said, and gracefully walked out of the compartment, waving a little as she left. As she closed the door, she heard Harry telling off Ron for scaring "the hottest girl ever" away. Neville was agreeing. Blushing, Nessie quickly walked away.
After she was done in the bathroom, Nessie returned to Draco. Snuggling next to him, she asked, "How much longer until we get there?"
Smelling her hair, Draco replied, "Soon. You might want to put on your school robes."
Quickly, they both did so. Only too soon, they were pulling to a stop, and everyone was preparing to get off the train.
