Ok guys, sorry I haven't updated in a while… I've been in the hospital. I've had a lot of time to think about where I want to take this story. But this is the first time I've had a chance to write. Hope you guys like it! As always read and review!

Sophia met Professor Snape at the entrance to Professor Dumbledore's office.

"Good morning Miss Potter. Enjoying your stay at the castle so far?"

"Yes sir," she said smiling.

"I understand that my godson has taken to showing you around the castle."

"Your godson?"

"Yes, Mr. Malfoy is my godson."

"Oh yes, he's been very helpful."

"I don't believe that your brother will approve."

Sophia thought about the conversation that she had with her brother and his friends prior to the sorting at Hogwarts.

She learned that the group was in Gryffindor and held a very short fuse when it came to the Slytherin house. Harry was sure that she would be sorted into Gryffindor.

"Soph, you're most definitely going to be sorted into Gryffindor. But if not, that's ok as long as you're not in Slytherin we'll still talk to you," Ron said with his mouth still full of food.

Hermione elbowed him in the ribcage causing him to choke on some of his food. "Ronald that wasn't very polite. I'm sorry Sophia; we will speak to you regardless of what house you're in. However I don't believe that there is any reason to worry about that. You will surely be placed in Gryffindor like your brother, mother, and father."

"I see. I haven't had a chance to speak with him since the sorting."

"Regardless of what he says to you, make sure that you understand that you have friends everywhere and each person is who they are. No person fits into one specific mold," he said with a smile. He turned to the gargoyle which spun into stairs that led to the Headmaster's office.

"Ah Miss Potter, it's so wonderful to see you again. Is everything going well for you?" Dumbledore asked with a genuine smile.

"It has been lovely, sir."

"Well Sophia, here is your schedule. All of your classes will be either with Harry or Mr. Malfoy. That way you have someone familiar around you at all times."



"Thank you sir, I appreciate it."

"Oh and one more thing Miss Potter, you will be required to wear a uniform during classes. I know it's a bit unusual from what you're used to but outside of class you may wear whatever you please."

"Thank you for telling me that now rather than letting me showing up to class in the wrong attire."

"You are dismissed I would suggest getting some breakfast before the elves start working on lunch."

"Yes sir," she said skipping down the stairs.

"Professor Dumbledore, I fear that Harry and his friends will not like the fact that Sophia is so close to Draco. "

"I understand your uneasiness, I fear for the same thing. But Harry will come around. He has had no one for fifteen years; he will realize that you can't ignore family forever."

Sophia was sitting at the Slytherin table studying her schedule when someone tapped her on her shoulder. She turned around to see Harry standing next to her. She smiled but when he didn't return the gesture she inquired as to what was wrong.

"I don't feel comfortable with you hanging out with Malfoy. It's bad enough that you're in Slytherin."

"Harry, I can't help that I was sorted into Slytherin. And as for me hanging out with Malfoy, why does it matter. He's really nice to me. Everyone else is afraid to touch me because I'm your sister. If it wasn't for him I'd probably be friendless."

"Soph, you will never be friendless. You will always have me and Ginny, Ron and Hermione. But he's not a good guy. His family has been involved with Death Eaters. He's part of the group who killed our parents and almost killed me on several occasions. I'm just trying to look out for you Soph."

"I'm sorry but I am capable of judging people for myself. I love you and your opinion is important to me but I have to be able to figure things out for myself."

"Fine, Soph," he said turning around and walking to the Gryffindor table. "But I swear that if he hurts you I'll kill him."

Sophia continued with studying the schedule in front of her. She took a sip of her Pumpkin Juice, when two hands slipped over her eyes.

"Harry seriously, I know you'll kill him if he hurts me."

"Sorry love," Draco said in a melodic tone. "But I am not your brother. "

"I'm sorry Draco, Harry just got mad at me for something stupid."



"I understand. What was he angry with you over?"

"He was mad that I got sorted into Slytherin and that I'm hanging out with you. He thinks you're some kind of a bad person and that you're going to hurt me."

"I would never harm something as wonderful as you," he said calmly.

Sophia blushed a deep scarlet color. "Whatever, Draco."

"It's true, love."

"But he said something about you being part of the group behind our parents death, is that true."

Draco turned his head from her gaze and looked out of the window by their table. Sophia was almost certain that she wasn't going to get an answer out of him when he spoke up.

"My parents were followers of the Dark Lord. I followed along in order to save myself. My father was one of his right hand men. I put on a façade in order to keep from having what happened to your parents happen to me. I had no choice follow or die. My father was forced to kill my mother and after the war my father was put into Azkaban. I became the sole Malfoy."

"Oh Draco, I'm so sorry."

"People change. I can understand why your brother wants you to stay away from me but I want you to know that I am not that person anymore. I swear I'm not."

"Oh Draco, I believe you," Sophia said with a small smile.

"Never mind that, how did your meeting with Professor Dumbledore go?"

"It went well. I have all of my classes with either you or Harry."

"Well that's good; I wouldn't want anything bad to happen to you."

"Don't let my brother hear you saying that."

"I won't," he said laughing. "So what are your plans for the rest of the day?"

"I don't know I was planning on going up to the library."

"Why would you want to go to the library?"

"I want to find a book duh silly!"

"Well I know that, but what type of a book?"

"Oh well," she said blushing, "I kind of wanted a romance novel."

"Oh my goodness you're one of those girls?"



"One of what girls?" she inquired.

"You know, the type of girl who dreams of a prince sweeping her off her feet; a girl who wants a happily ever after."

"Well yes, I'd like a happily ever after. But what I like most is the idea that a guy can put a girl's needs before his own. I want someone who knows how to wine and dine and how to treat a woman properly, both in and out of bed." At this comment Draco just sat there staring at her. Sophia got up and left the Great Hall leaving a very flustered Draco Malfoy.

Could I be this kind of a guy, he thought. I know how to treat women, but can I be what she wants?
