Chapter 6: On the train
On the morning of your departure you got up early to check if everything was in order. You left the manor with the others in a good mood.
The summer had been nice as always, but you looked forward to going back to Hogwarts. Rather than missing the studying itself, you wished to see your housemates after the long break.
Stubby was excited as well. He made way more noise than usual, giving you a headache after some time.
Soon, you arrived to King's Cross and everyone got through the barrier onto platform 9 and ¾.
Already lots of young wizards and witches were waiting there with their families or long not seen friends. Greetings were shouted, happy faces were seen everywhere.
Your eyes were just taking in the scene before you, when you were greeted by the grinning Weasley twins.
"Lil!"
"Fred! George!"
They pulled you into a bone-crashing hug.
"Hey, I'd still like to breathe some time!"
They let you free after a few more seconds.
"Haven't seen you in a while. How was the summer, girl?"
"It was short but awesome! Yours?"
"Same here."
Blaise soon turned up there too, quickly catching your hand after seeing you hug the twins.
"Wow, Lil, didn't know you had a new boyfriend..."
"Well, we've been just going out since yesterday actually."
More and more familiar faces were popping up so you said goodbye to the twins and turned to the others.
On the train you planned to get a compartment with Harry and the gang,
but Blaise asked you to sit with him and the Slytherins.
Although you didn't want to do so, finally you decided to go with him.
Your sister, Draco and Pansy already reserved a compartment by the time you managed to board the train with your luggage and Stubby's cage.
Before long you were joined by Crabbe, Goyle and Flint who took all the remaining free seats.
After a while the flow of the conversation turned in a way you were not interested in anymore, so you decided to go and check where the Gryffindors were. You set off.
You found quite a few members of your house, but Harry and the others just seemed to have disappeared.
You were looking into the last compartment, which turned out to be empty, when someone pushed you in. You almost fell on your knees but luckily you regained your balance.
"Shit!"
You turned around to see a broadly smirking Malfoy standing in front of you.
"Malfoy! What did you do that for?!"
"You were in my way, Sparks. Maybe during summer you gained on unnecessary weight as your big bottom took up the corridor making me unable to do my job as a prefect."
"If you planned to get on my nerves then you can clap yourself. You succeeded. Merely by looking at you I fell annoyed. Now, please, if you'd get out of my way."
He just continued to stand there his smirk even growing wider.
"Are you deaf? Let me out!"
You tried to push him away, unsuccessfully, only managing to get a lot closer to him than you wanted to. You hated to admit it but there was something in Draco that made you physically attracted to him. And this irritated you to no end.
"What the hell do you want, Malfoy?!"
"Watch your mouth, Sparks or I'll have to wash it out for you..."
He leaned closer and closer to you so you decided to back off a few steps.
This, however, didn't seem to discourage him. You backed away as far as you could until your back hit the window. He simply followed.
He reached you and put his arms on either side of your head.
"I want you, Sparks." He whispered in your ears.
His hot breath tickled your face. Your knees felt weak as he pushed his body against yours. You didn't like the feeling his actions caused to your own body.
His lips crashed down to yours. Blaise's sweet kisses were nothing compared to this. It was fiery, passionate and lustful.
First, you totally forgot who you were kissing. Realizing what you were doing you quickly pulled away.
You just stared into his cool grayish blue eyes panting a little, not able to break the eye contact.
"C'mon I know you want this... Not even you can resist me..."
He pulled you into another fantastic kiss. It was even more breathtaking than the one before. You couldn't help but kiss back. His tongue asked for permission to enter your mouth and without thinking you gave in to him.
However, before you could really get into it, the door burst open revealing the angry looking Weasley twins with Harry in their wake.
"Get off her, you ferret!" Fred shouted at Draco pointing his wand at him.
Malfoy slowly turned around with his trademark smirk on his face.
"Now, why would I do that?"
You tried to wriggle out of his reach, but he held you close to him with a very satisfied expression on his face.
"She never made any protests. She's just as all the others: can't resist the Malfoy charm..."
You pushed him away from you looking at him in disgust. Your anger rose up high.
"You git! I hate you and would not even kiss you again if you were the last man on Earth!"
You slapped him. It took him by surprise and he had no time to react. The red print of your hand now decorated his face.
"You little slut!" He aimed his wand at you but didn't get a chance to advance further.
"You do anything to her and I hex the hell out of you, Malfoy!" George shouted.
Malfoy quickly realized that he is outnumbered, so after shooting a death glare at you he rushed out of the compartment pushing everyone away. That left you with the boys all looking at you in disbelief.
"What was that all about, Lil?"
You didn't react to Harry's question at first. That stupid prat! He wanted this from the very beginning! To prove he can get you like any other girl at Hogwarts. Anger was boiling in you so high you could hardly control yourself.
You were really glad they interrupted you. You almost did something later you'd have deeply regretted.
At last, you came back to reality and gathered your thoughts noticing the boys waiting for your answer.
"I was looking for you guys when someone pushed me in there and it was Malfoy..."
"And yeah, he kissed you." Harry added sourly.
"I'm glad you guys came for me." You hugged all of them. Harry clinged on you for a little longer than you'd expected.
"When I saw him with you, I thought I would kill him..."
"But how did you know we were here?" You asked still blushing because of Harry's previous comment.
"You went straight past our compartment. We were sitting with some Ravenclaws." George explained.
"You know Ron and Hermione being prefects...They have a separate carriage now." Harry added.
"You haven't noticed us, but we saw you passing. Just a little after you, there came Malfoy looking really pleased with himself. We immediately thought he's up to no good so we went after him. And then we found you." Fred finished the story.
"Guys, thank you so much. You really helped me out this time."
"You shouldn't go back to their compartment. Sit with us from now on." Harry said seriously.
"Look I couldn't appreciate more what you did but he won't do anything to me in company. Plus Blaise will be there, too."
You blushed suddenly remembering your new boyfriend. He almost completely went out of your mind.
"Right. But we can fight them off anytime, just call us if you need help."
"I will, I promise."
You waved goodbye to the concerned boys, and walked back to the Slytherins. Malfoy was already sitting there.
You tried not to look at him at all, concentrating on Blaise instead.
"Lil! Finally. I was wondering when you'll come back."
"Hey. I just..." You glanced at Malfoy who was smirking evilly at you and said:
"I just talked a little with Harry."
Later, Malfoy told the whole compartment about how he terrorized some second years on his way back but you weren't really paying attention to him.
You felt so humiliated. Inside your head Draco's voice kept telling you that 'You were just like any other girl who couldn't resist him' .This threw you in a really bad mood for the rest of the journey.
You were in a relationship since just the day before and already you've cheated on your boyfriend. Disgusted by yourself and the whole situation you stayed silent for a long time.
Blaise couldn't understand your sudden change of mood. However, after some attempts even he gave up trying to cheer you up.
You kept looking out of the window and watching the ever changing land. Soon you became sleepy and the rhythmic motion of the train drifted you into a sleep on Blaise's shoulder.
You woke up an hour later to Blaise's voice telling you that it's time to change into your school robes.
At last the train came to a halt. You grabbed the cage of Stubby and your trunks and set off for the carriages.
