Expect the Unexpected
Chapter 10 – Hogwarts Letters and Kisses with a Knight in Wizarding Robes
Over the next two weeks, Mia had had Pierre on her mind. Also she was dreading returning to Hogwarts, and seeing Ron and Harry. They had tried to write to her over the summer, but she hadn't returned any of their owls. The numerous letters were piling up on her beautiful hand carved wooden desk.
She wasn't sure how to explain to them about what had happened over the summer, finding out she was a Zabini, meeting Draco, the ball and the almost assault. These were too big, that she couldn't put down in words. Mia sometimes wondered about visiting them, but quickly pushed it aside, she hadn't a clue what to say.
It was a week until Hogwarts started and Mia was looking forward to it. Mia noticed the owl pecking at the window, and she let it in, it was holding a thicker than normal envelope with the Hogwarts seal. The bird was grateful when she untied the envelope from the birds legs, the string which was used to hold the letter to the bird was tied incredibly tightly, almost cutting off circulation.
She unfolded the letter and read,
Dear Miss Hermione Granger
Welcome back. We are glad to inform you that out of your year, that we have chosen you as Head Girl for this year.
At this Mia squealed,
"I'm Head Girl! Yey for me!"
She returned to the letter,
I am sure you are jumping for joy, as well as congratulated yourself as you obviously knew that this was coming! I am certain that we have picked well, and that you are going to be one of the best Head Girls that Hogwarts has ever seen. I'm not sure that you will be too pleased with who we have chosen for Head Boy, but remember we're hoping this will help house unity. I'm sure you're dying to know who it is, but I'm afraid I'm going to have to leave you hanging! You'll find out on the train, which reminds me, you will need to help first years through the barrier and onto the train. Many of them are coming from muggles and will obviously not know about the barrier, they may get a bit lost. Them you will meet the Head Boy and I in the heads compartment at the front of the train, just behind the drivers cabin. You get a privilege of having your own dormitory, well you will get your own bedroom, but you will share the bathroom, the kitchen and the common room with the Head Boy. Enclosed you will find a list of things that you will be arranging and duties. Also there is your supplies list.
I hope that you will come back and I am sure that you will do well in your N.E.W.T's
Thank you, I will see you I in a couple of days.
Professor Dumbledore,
Head Teacher of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardary.
Mia was scowling as she read the letter, sure she would do well in her N.E.W.T's, but what was bothering her was who the mysterious head boy was. It said that they were putting whoever she was with, with her to create better house unity. But she couldn't work out who it was. Obviously it wasn't anybody in her house, and she doubted that it would be a Hufflepuff, or Ravenclaw, so that just left Slytherin. Mia wasn't happy about that. But that would mean Mia was being a bit hypocritical, seeing as her twin brother is a Slytherin, also nearly all her family were in Slytherin as well, she felt a bit guilty. But got over it as soon as she remembered Malfoy, and how he had been for the past six years, and the guiltiness started to ebb away.
She opened the list of duties, she quickly scanned it,
These are some of the duties that you will have to fulfil to keep your position as head;
Patrolling corridors, nine – eleven pm
Arranging the October Ball
Arranging Hogsmede visits
Prefect Meetings
Arranging the Winter Ball
Organising Quidditch Matches
Your list of supplies are enclosed,
She nodded to herself, and read the list of supplies,
"I'll be needing to go to Diagon Alley then," She said to herself,
"Me too," A voice said from her doorway making her jump. She turned and saw Draco leaning against her doorframe.
"Spying on me then, Malfoy?" She raised an eyebrow,
"Back to last names, Zambini?" He rose one of his in return,
She rolled her eyes at him, deciding that this could go on for a while,
"So you got your letter then?"
He nodded,
"And guess what! I made Head boy," He smiled smugly at her,
She gasped in shock,
"They made YOU head boy! What was Dumbledore thinking?"
"Why, so shocked? I am the best in the year," He smirked,
"Yeah, the best in the year? I think you're forgetting one person. Me!"
He grinned at her,
"You think you can outsmart me, Zambini?"
"Yes, Malfoy, I think I can outsmart you because you are an arrogant ferret with your fat head up your arse!"
Draco's smirk suddenly changed into a scowl, he grabbed her by the arms and pushed her up against her lavender wall, he pinned her easily, she was helpless in his arms,
"Would you mind repeating that?" He growled in her face,
She flinched, this seemed a familiar position, it reminded her of Pierre,
Draco saw the look in her eyes, she was scared, she was scared of him.
He didn't like that, he didn't like the look in her eyes, he didn't like people fearing him.
He let go of her, she was physically shaking. She slid down the wall and landed on her bum. Draco looked down at her, she looked so small and fragile, he slid down beside her, and put an arm around her shoulders, she began to pull away but eventually relented, letting him comfort her.
'This is ironic,' she thought to herself, 'I'm being comforted by my worst enemy,'
She smiled at this thought,
"See, you're cheering up already!" He smiled at her,
She looked at him,
"You look nicer when you smile,"
"Yeah, but its much easier to smirk! Not as many muscles," He smirked,
Mia scowled,
"See, now you look ugly!"
He raised a perfect eyebrow,
"Draco Malfoy never looks ugly, maybe your eyes need testing,"
She rolled her eyes,
"Such vanity in only one person, didn't they give each person equal amounts? Or was there a problem with you and gave you too much?"
He laughed and punched her lightly,
"See, you can be nice!"
"Hmm, but its hard," He growled with a small smile on his face,
She smiled at him, this felt comfortable, almost as though they had been friends fro years.
He looked down at her she looked so sweet when she smiled, it made him relax, he watched her face and her porcelain features smile up at him. Draco gazed into her eyes and leaned in.
She saw this, widened her eyes in surprise, but then her eyes softened and she tilted her head ever so slightly upwards, their lips met briefly, then they sunk into the kiss.
They pulled away and smiled at each other, both blushing slightly, they sat back against the wall, Draco's arm around Mia's shoulders, Mia's head against his chest.
It really was Perfect.
a/n: I'm sorry but I'm not good at writing kissing scenes! And I also want to apologise for the crap rape scene in one of the other chapters. Also sorry that I haven't updated! But I'm afraid that I'm updating my other story, I think that I'll put my other story on hold, seeing as I haven't got any reviews! Lol. Anyway I'll try updating quicker. It's just I've started at school again and I have loads of homework! Please review.
