The shuffling of bodies was slightly unsettling, but Evie took it all in stride. She loved people, and things had been going so well for her…she had an optimistic view of Hogwarts. Hermione tugging on her arm brought her back to reality, and they started making their way towards the black train. When she stopped to wait on the rest of the group, Evie didn't notice and kept walking with her eyes darting to and fro. A few steps later she found herself looking up at the top of the train, the steam pouring from the chimney stack, the way the sunshine glistened on the glossy black paint, the blonde hair that…wait a second. Blonde hair…trains obviously don't have hair. Someone had moved into her line of sight and it only clicked in her head after she ran right into his back. What a back it was too! Through the black sweater she could literally feel the toned muscles move and twist as the boy turned around.

"What the hell…lo there, who are you?" He smirk ever so slightly when he noticed her dazed expression.
"Can't speak? I understand, you've probably never met a guy as good looking as I am before have you? I'll spare you the anticipation. I'm…"

"An arrogant asshole. I would say I'm sorry I ran into you, but you aren't worth my respect. I may be new but I know a jerk when I see him, and darling, you're the perfect example of one. Too bad, you would be kind of cute if you wiped that ugly smirk off your face." With a flick of her ponytail, Evie turned on her heel and walked back to the laughing Gryffindors.

"What's so funny? All I did was tell off some stupid guy." Hermione was the first to speak.
"Evie…that wasn't just some stupid guy. That was Draco Malfoy. He's the 'Slytherin God' of Hogwarts. His father works for the ministry, and is rumored to be a death eater. He hates all Gryffindors and anyone who is friends with them. Basically, he is the bane of most of our school lives. So that's why we're super happy that you told him off! Not many new people can leave him standing with his mouth wide open like you just did."

Turning to glance at the blonde boy behind her, she noted his mouth was indeed hanging open still. His eyes blinked slowly, and then turned to slits when he realized Evie had caught him staring. She stuck her tongue out at him childishly and turned back to her still laughing friends. Ron ran up and high fived her, while Harry picked her up in a tight hug. After their little mock celebration everyone made their way onto the train and started looking for a compartment to claim. Evie ran into the first empty one she saw and threw herself face first into the cushioned bench. A war cry echoed in the hallway and Ron proceeded to jump on top of her, making the other two by standers laugh again.

"Ronald! Get off of her right now," she started with a laugh. "She can't breathe!" He unhappily rose to his feet and fake glared at the brunette. "Hermie, you're no fun. Evie could breathe just fine, couldn't you?" She smiled a cute smile and nodded her head. "See there. Everything is fine. Now let's sit down and get some sweets from the trolley."

Evie sat up, looked up at Hermione and patted the seat next to her. Hermione glanced at Ron out of the corner of her eye then looked back at Evie. She smiled knowingly and remember back to the conversation the night before in the inn. Acting quickly, her hand shot out and grabbed Harry's as he was in the process of sitting down and jerked him into the seat next to her.

"What the…" She shoved her elbow into his ribs and nonchalantly nodded towards Ron and Hermione. He seemed to catch on as Hermione sat down and blushed slightly. Harry looked back towards Evie and smiled then moved to get more comfortable. Ten minutes passed and the trolley finally showed up at the door. Everyone purchased their sweets, and Ron decided to challenge Evie to a candy eating contest.

"What does the winner get?" He thought for a moment and snapped his fingers.
"Winner gets piggybacked up to the castle. But the loser has to do something too." Without missing a beat Evie smirked and let out a snort.
"Loser has to go up to Draco Malfoy and kiss him full on the lips." Ron gagged, but shook her outstretched hand. She smiled again and waited for their judges to tell them to start. An intense stare off ensued, but was broken by Harry yelling "Go!"

The next five minutes were passed with the sounds of chomping teeth, crinkling wrappers, and groans and grunts of two overly stuffed kids. Shoveling in another chocolate frog Evie looked down to her pile, she had only four left! How many did Ron have…oh no! Ron was smirking at her as he slowly chewed his last frog. Evie swallowed and stared in disbelief at the opposing red head. Harry and Hermione cheered for Ron and he patted his belly in triumph. Evie groaned and sank back into the seat, hiding her face in her hands. Hermione just rubbed her shoulders and waited for Ron to stop gloating.

"Come on Evie Peevie! It's time to pucker up and go find Malfoy! I'm sure we can find some bleach for you when you get back. Wait a second…how will we know you actually did it? I mean, Ferret Boy probably won't even open the door when he sees us."
"Oh I know!" Hermione turned around and started looking through her bag and rummaged around for a few minutes. Finally she pulled out the much sought after object. Taking the top off the tube, she showed Evie the ridiculously bright red lipstick. Pulling out her wand, she muttered a spell and pointed it at the tip of the lipstick. Handing it to Evie she grinned.

"I charmed it to stay on, no matter how much it's rubbed. So, if you kiss Malfoy…we'll know for sure when he comes into the Great Hall tonight."

"Well, alright then. I guess I'll go now…I can change too."

Standing, she grabbed her robes and began walking towards the back of the train. Sighing, she started looking for the familiar blonde locks. Towards the back of the train, she finally spotted it. Steeling her nerves, she knocked on the door. Malfoy's unhappy face greeted her when he slammed open the door.

"What do you want Jordan?" His glare almost made her deck him right in his nose, but she refrained. Heaving another sigh, she glanced at him through her lashes. He was staring at her like she was stupid, which honestly, she felt like she was right now. Standing straight, she decided couldn't go back now. Reaching out she grabbed the front of his black sweater and pulled him down to her level, slamming her lips onto his. He stood still for a moment, eyes wide open looking at her, then closed his eyes and kissed back roughly. Grabbing her, he pulled her closer and wove his fingers in her hair. Evie forgot who she was kissing for a moment, and started to melt into the kiss. Reality slapped her hard and she jerked back away from him. She wiped her lips furiously, noticing the lipstick came off on her hands. Gazing at him quickly, she watched him look at her now red hands and start rubbing his lips. Surprisingly it didn't come off…Hermione was amazing! Turning on her heel she started to walk away, but changed her mind last minute. Looking over her shoulder she saw him looking at her again expectantly.

"I've kissed better, sorry Malfoy."

He looked flabbergasted and couldn't believe that she just kissed him, then just insulted him as well! How dare she!
