Frankie's POV
We finished eating dinner and Draco and I went back upstairs.
"Draco, if I really don't get in Slytherin, will you still talk to me?" I asked completely serious.
"It depends." He said
"On what?" I said
"If you're still going out with Weasley." He said
"So if I am you're just not going to talk to me? Why, because you're jealous?" I asked a bit angry.
"I'm not jealous. I just don't think you like him all that much." He said still serious.
"Well I do like him, Malfoy. It's just..." REWIND!
"Just what?" he asked smirking.
"Just nothing. I was going to add something but then it slipped my mind." There we go. All cleaned up now.
"You're such a liar. But whatever. I have to leave now anyways. If I don't see you tomorrow then I will on the train." He said.
"Train? We have to take a train? And what happens if the muggles see? I mean they are bound to see a train. How could you possibly hide a train?" I said that all rather quickly.
"Okay, well I guess I will be seeing you at Kings Cross Station, and laugh my ass of when you can't figure out how to get on the platform." He said laughing at me.
"Oh shut it Malfoy." I said trying not to laugh. He laughed at me once more but then was gone in a flash. I sat on my bed thinking. I had hardly spent anytime with Ron. So I grabbed a parchment and quill and began writing a letter.
Dear Ron, We have hardly spent any time together. So I think you should come over. Then we can watch a movie, and do... other things. Anyhow, write back. Because my owl won't leave until you do!
Love, Frankie.
I sent the message off with my owl and turned on the wonderful invention on music. I turned on 'January' by 'Bonnie McKee'. I started singing while I was packing. I used my wand to put some of my clothes in my trunk. I was almost done when I heard a tapping on my window. I should really remember to leave that open when I send out letters. I grabbed the letter and read it.
Dear Frankie. You're right. We really should hang out. A movie sounds great. Except why don't you come here? That way I can give you a present! Bring over any movie you want.
Love, Ron.
A present? Hmm I wonder what it could be? I quickly got changed into some muggle clothes. I grabbed a scary movie and opened my door. I called downstairs
"Mom I'm going out. I'll be back later!"
"Alright honey. See you later." She said happily. Why was she is in such a good mood? I chose to forget it. I went into the fireplace. I didn't know how to apparate yet. Soon I was in Ron's living room. I stepped out and looked around. But I couldn't see anyone. Soon I felt hands wrap around my waist, and a kiss on the cheek. I smiled.
"Hey, Ron." I said
"How'd you know?" he asked.
"Well I was just guessing that it wouldn't be your father." I said laughing. He grabbed my hand and led me into the kitchen. It was filled with red headed people. Well not filled, but you know what I mean.
"Guys, this is Frankie, Fred and George you already know her." Ron announced. I laughed.
"So this is the girl I've been hearing about non stop" said a red headed woman who I guessed that she was Ron's mother.
"Mum!" Ron said.
"Hi, it's very nice to meet you." I said shaking his mother's hand.
"Hello there. I'm Ron's father. It's great to finally meet you." He said smiling.
"It's great to meet you as well!" I said smiling back.
"Well, we're going to watch a movie, so don't bug us, okay?" Ron said to his family. He took my hand and led me upstairs.
"Here, sit down." He said leading me over to his bed.
"I need to give you your present." He said.
"Ron, you didn't have to buy me a present." I said
"Yeah I know. But you're my girlfriend, and I should treat you right!" he said smiling. I smiled back, as he handed a box. I opened it. It was a necklace with a guitar on it. It was beautiful.
"I know it's not much. But it reminded me of you." He said.
"Ron, I love it. Its absolutely perfect" I said getting a little teary eyed. He smiled at me. We put on the movie and watched it in the dark. When it ended, I looked at Ron and kissed him. But he didn't kiss me back.
"What's wrong?" I asked
"Frankie, why were you with Malfoy today?" he asked
"He was just taking me shopping. I didn't know the places, or the stuff I needed to get. So he took me." I said.
"Are you sure that was it? Because it looked like it was something more when he grabbed your waist." He said looking a bit angry.
"What are you trying to say? That I'm cheating on you? Because if you don't remember, as soon as he put his hands on me, I took them off. If I was going to cheat on you, I would have just broken up with you." I said with an angry tone.
"Look Frankie, I'm sorry. But I just thought-" I cut him off
"That I was cheating on you? I can't believe you don't trust me." I said.
"Well you've done it before!" he yelled. I couldn't believe he brought that up. He knew how much it hurt me.
"I can't believe this. I can't believe you!" I said taking off the necklace.
"Frankie what are you doing?" he asked
"I don't think we should see each other anymore. This relationship clearly isn't going to work." I ask handing him the necklace.
"Frankie I'm sorry! Please don't do this." He said looking at me in the eyes.
"I'm sorry too."
I said then walked out of his room. I walked down the stairs crying. His entire family looked at me while the tears were pouring down my face. I walked over to their fireplace and went home. I ran over to my bed and cried. I just broke up with Ron. How could he be so mean? Saying I was cheating on him. I mean yeah I did it once. But I told him as soon as it happened. Why did he think I would do it again? This was so stupid. I should have just talked it out with him. Maybe he didn't really think it was over. Why am I crying? We went out for like a week. I just lied there on my bed. I put on my music and turned it up loud so I couldn't even hear myself think. I didn't want to think right now. I walked over to the bathroom and got in the shower. I felt the water drops hit my body. It felt good. I washed my hair and my entire body as if I was trying to scrub off something. But there was nothing there. I just kept scrubbing. And the tears kept coming.
…Fastforward to the day I go to school…
"Frankie, get up. You're going away to Hogwarts today!" my mother said cheerfully. I looked at the clock. 8:30. We had to be at Kings Cross by 10:30. I got up and took a shower. When I got out I dried myself off with a spell to dry and straighten my hair. I walked over to my closet and pulled out a pair of jeans and a t-shirt. I went back into the bathroom to put on some make up. I put on eyeliner, mascara, lip-gloss and blush. It was 9:45. It would take a half and hour to get to the train station. So I grabbed my trunk and walked down stairs with it.
"Finally! We have to go! Get in the car!" my father said. I was in no mood to talk back. So I just nodded and did what I was told. My owl was already in the backseat waiting for me, along with my brother. I put my suitcase, in the trunk, and then got in the backseat.
"What's wrong? Nervous?" he asked. I just shook my head and put in my earphones. I started listening to 'Somebody told me' by the Killers, and started to drift off to a dreamless sleep. I woke up to my brother shaking my arm.
"We're here." He said. I got out and said goodbye to my mother and father. Tommy and I walked over to find platform 9 and 3/4. But there was only platform 9 and ten. I looked at my ticket again. I was so confused.
"Hey, Patrick's!" I head a voice call from behind me.
"Hey, Malfoy." I said
"Confused?" he asked.
"Indeed." I said. He laughed.
"Just run in between platforms 9 and 10." He said
"You first." I said, not believing him.
"Don't believe me eh? Alright then if you insist." He said. He was really going to do it! He started to run. I fully expected him to fall over when he was about to hit the wall. But he went right through. I looked at my brother and shrugged. Then I ran for it. Even though I had seen Draco do it, I figured I would cash into the wall. But I went right through just like Draco did. I saw a huge train that said 'Hogwarts Express' on it. I turned my head and saw Draco. He motioned for me to follow him so I did. We left our trolleys with all of the other ones. We got on the train and I saw a bunch of kids looking lost and confused. Draco grabbed my hand and pulled me into a compartment. In there I saw Blaise and some other guys.
"Hey Blaise!" I said happily.
"Frankie? What are you doing here?" Blaise asked.
"Oh I go to Hogwarts now." I said
"Awesome! It's also good to see you and Draco are back together." He said. I looked at Draco confused.
"We're not together she's got a boyfriend." Draco said.
"Actually I don't anymore. I broke up with him. But anyhow, how have you been Blaise?" I asked trying to change the subject. But Draco didn't stop. We were both sitting down by now.
"What do you mean you broke up?" Draco asked.
"Is this really necessary?" I asked
"Yes. Now tell me." He said
"You're so annoying, Draco. I broke up with him because he thought I was cheating on him... with you. So that's why we broke up." I said hoping that would be the end of his questions.
"Oh great. So it's my fault again." He said angry.
"Draco, did you hear me say it was your fault?" I asked annoyed.
"Well no..." he said.
"Well then it's not your fault." I said trying to smile. We all talked for most of the train ride. I found out that the other guys in the compartment were, Crabbe, Goyle, and Flint. When we were in the middle of a conversation about Quidditch, the compartment door slammed open -if that's possible-
"Hey Drakie! I've missed you all summer! Do you maybe want to... uhh she's still here?" yes, that was Pansy Parkinson's disgusting voice.
"Yes I am! But sadly you are too." I said. I heard laughing from all the guys.
"Who said you could talk to me? You stupid whore." She said.
"Oh wow. Stupid whore is all you could come up with? Come on Parkinson, throw me something I can use!" I said.
"Drakie, are you really going to let her talk to me like that?" she said looking at Draco.
"Pansy, when are you going to understand that he hates your guts? I mean, when a guy doesn't call or talk to you after shagging, you should know that he doesn't like you. I mean seriously. Take the hint!" I said. She ran out of the room crying.
"Frankie! I can't believe you said that to her! That was brilliant!" Blaise said.
"All in a days work boys. Well I'm going to get changed into my robes." I said walking out of the compartment. I almost got to the bathroom when I bumped into someone.
"Harry?" I asked
"Oh hey Frankie! Where have you been? We were looking for you!" Harry said.
"Oh sorry! I couldn't find you either so I sat with Draco." I said. Yeah I lied. But it was better then just saying I forgot!
"Oh that's okay. What's going on with you and Ron? He won't say anything." Harry asked.
"We broke up." I said
"What?! Why?" he asked shocked.
"He told me that he thought I was cheating on him. I told him I wasn't. He wouldn't let it go. So I let him go." I said.
"Oh wow. I'm sorry." Harry said.
"It's okay. I'm sure he's forgotten about me completely. Well I've got to get changed now. But I'll see you later!" I said walking away to get changed. I walked out of the bathroom and back into the compartment. Draco and the guys were already changed. I sat back down next to Draco. I put on my headphones. I put on 'Every time We Touch' by Cascada. I didn't mean to but I started singing. I didn't realize until I looked around and all the guys were looking at me. Then I did something I never thought I would do. I smiled and continued singing. But this time I stood up on my seat and used my wand as a microphone, and I started dancing.They all looked up at me and their jaws dropped. I continued singing and dancing until the song ended. Then they did something I didn't expect. They all started clapping. So then I bowed and said
"Thank you, thank you! You're too much!" we all laughed.
"That really was good." Flint said. I blushed. Maybe I was a good singer after all?
"Alright we're here. Let's go." Draco said, before I could say anything back to Flint. Draco grabbed my hand and led me off the train. We walked past this really big guy who was calling out
"First years, this way please. First years, this way!"
Draco led me to a bunch of boats and we both got in. While we started making our way across the lake, I saw a castle. It was beautiful. Was that school? I don't know if I'll ever want to leave! Before I knew it, we were there. He got out, so I followed him. We walked into the school and went straight into a big room with four very long tables. Before I had a chance to even take all of it in, I heard my name being called.
"Miss. Patrick's! Please come over here to be sorted into your house." An old woman called. I looked at Draco.
"Good luck." He said. I nodded and walked over to the old lady.
"Hello. My name is Professor McGonagall. Please take a seat on the stool." I nodded and walked over to the stool. I sat down on it as the entire school watched me. Professor McGonagall placed a hat on my head. At first I thought I was going crazy when it started talking to me.
"Ahh, a Patrick. Haven't seen one of you before. You're smart. But very brave so defiantly not Hufflepuff. Ahh you want to be in either Gryffindor or Slytherin eh? You could be great in both you know. You're a tough one. Where to put you... I know... SLYTHERIN!" he yelled. The whole Slytherin table cheered, and clapped. I looked over at Harry. He smiled. But I could tell if was fake. Maybe I would have been better in Gryffindor? I walked over to the Slytherin table and sat next to Draco. He smiled.
"Thank god." He said and smirked. I smirked right back. The first years were sorted out and then the headmaster Dumbledore made a speech. Then there was suddenly food in front of us. Everyone cheered and began eating. Geeze it was like these people haven't eaten all summer. I wasn't very hungry so I just sat at the table looking at the ceiling. It was amazing. Like you have no idea.
"Why aren't you eating?" Draco asked.
"Because I'm not hungry?" I said
"Oh. You want to go for a walk or something?" he asked.
"Um, sure.' I said getting up. Draco held my hand for some unknown reason. There were like 20 girls who looked at me like they wanted to kill me. I just ignored it. We walked into the hall and then Draco pushed me into the wall.
"Ow! Draco what's wrong with-" I was cut off by his lips crashing onto mine. I didn't know what to do at first. I kind of just stood there. Then it finally clicked in my head what was going on and I pushed him off.
"Draco, what are you doing?" I said
"Kissing you?" he said
"Why?" I asked
"Well it's not like you're going out with Weasley anymore." He said.
"That's not a reason." I said
"So what? Why don't you want to kiss me?" he asked with a fowl look on his face.
"Because I... I'm going to my room." I said and started to walk away.
"You don't even know where that is." He called. Oh crap. I really didn't.
"I'll find my way." I said and kept walking. I was walking for about 15 minutes now, and now I had no idea where I was. I was looking at all of the pictures, not looking at where I was going when I bumped into someone.
"Oh sorry!" I said before looking up. It was a professor I guessing. He had black hair and was dressed in all black.
"What are you doing out here instead of in your room Miss. Patricks?" he asked me.
"I got lost. But then I started looking at all of these pictures and they just fascinated me. By the way... who are you?" I said
"Professor Snape. And I suggest that you find your way back to your common room." he said rudely.
"Snape eh? I like it. And I have been trying to find my way back. But it clearly isn't working. Mind telling me where to go?" I said. I put a smile on my face.
"Don't talk to me so rudely." He spat.
"Well I wouldn't have to if you didn't talk to me rudely now would I?" I said back.
"Go up those stairs and then go to the right. Your common room is there. You better hope I don't see you after hours again. Do I make myself clear?" he said. I could tell he was trying not to yell at me.
"Yes. Thanks for the directions. Nighty night." I said walking up the stairs. I turned right just like he told me to and I found a picture. What was this a joke? This wasn't a room. That guy is nuts. I went to turn around and walk back when I smacked into someone else. Wow I'm doing real good at walking tonight eh?
"I knew you couldn't resist me. No girl ever can." Said a voice. I knew who it was.
"Oh shut up! Where is the common room?" I asked.
"Right there dumb ass." He said pointing to the picture. I was just about to ask him what the hell he was talking about when he walked over to it and said
"Pureblood". Then the picture opened as if it were a door. I just stood there. How stupid could I have been? They must all think I'm an idiot. Draco pulled me into the room.
"Come on!" he said pulling me. We walked into a room that had a bunch of couches, and a fireplace. The lights were off. Draco and I were obviously the last ones coming in. I looked around and the room was painted with green, silver, and black. I liked it. I went to walk up to my dormitory when Draco grabbed my hand and led me over to the couch.
"Draco I'm tired let me go to bed!" I said.
"Can we just talk for a minute?" he asked.
"Fine. What is so important that I have to lose sleep over?" I asked annoyed.
"Why won't you kiss me?" he asked for the second time.
"Because I don't want to." I said
"I mean the real reason." He said.
"I... I don't want to fall for you again. Because I know that if I do, you'll probably cheat on me again. I can't handle that. Not again." I said. Don't cry. Please don't cry. You will not cry in front of Draco Malfoy!
"I wouldn't do that to you again." He said.
"You think that now. But I know as soon as a girl flaunts herself in front of you and tells you she wants you, that promise would be shot to hell." I said. I got up and walked to the stairs.
"Goodnight Draco." I said as I walked to my room. I opened the door and a bunch of girls looked at me.
"You're the new girl right? The one who was with Draco?" one girl asked me.
"I guess. But I'm not with Draco we're just friends." I said as I sat down on the bed I guessed to be mine.
"What do you mean your just friends? He was holding your hand!" a different girl said.
"And don't tell me that when you both left, that you didn't have sex with him" another girl said.
"No we didn't have sex. We didn't do anything. Although he did kiss me. But I pushed him off and walked away." I said.
"You told him no? Why would you do that? He is gorgeous!" one of the girls said.
"He may be gorgeous, but I just don't feel that way about him." I said.
"My name's Lily. And that's Rachel and Carrie."
"I'm Frankie. Nice to meet you." I said. We were all talked about boys well they mostly talked about Draco. And we talked about classes and such until we all fell asleep. I just prayed I wouldn't dream about Draco.
