Romance/Action

Charity’s P.O.V

My mind is twirling. I’m on the Hogwarts Express about to go Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry all the way in England, leaving behind all my family and friends in America. The pain of my homesickness numbs me as I think of my mom, dad, and sister saying goodbye to me with tears running down their faces. My friends Cyrus and Grace packing up my stuff and begging me not to go. I almost obeyed and stayed, but I had a dream to become a professional magical creatures caretaker. I wasn’t going to give up on it, because of a bit of hardship. All my ancestors went to Ilvermorny, the North American place to study magic, and I would have to if I would have been accepted. I wasn’t accepted to Ilvermorny however, I was accepted to Hogwarts. I didn’t hesitate on my decision to go because I wanted my dream so badly. It didn’t mean I wouldn’t miss my family though. I was too numb to cry so I sat and watched rain roll down the window, it cried for me.

I woke up hearing people rushing out of the train. “Good thing I put my robes on before going on the train”, I thought. I got up slowly and sighed before leaving my bunker. I followed the herd of first years over to a tall man with matted hair and beard, and he lead all of us to boats to cross the lake to Hogwarts. I stepped on one of the small boats and begged people in my mind to not talk to me, as I’m rather reserved and quiet. I was focusing so hard on begging people, I wasn’t aware of my surroundings until a tall boy with sleek, platinum blond hair tripped and fell straight into my lap. He quickly sat up, and plopped himself next to me. He looked over at me, and I realized he was actually pretty handsome. A huge blush ran over my face which somehow was even more noticeable on my light brown face. My mom was black, and my dad was white, leaving me with a light brown skin. I was hoping it was a dark enough night he couldn’t see my flushed cheeks. He didn’t help my blushing by speaking to me, and saying “Sorry about that, I’m Malfoy, Draco Malfoy.” I knew my American accent would surprise him and it would be awkward for me, but it would’ve been more awkward if I didn’t answer, so I answered,” Hi”, no more and no less. His whole face lit up as he smiled at me, maybe it was my accent he was smiling at, but for whatever reason not just my face, my whole body went warm. I usually try to push people away politely as I can when they get more than 4 feet close to me, either by moving away, or simply asking them politely to move away. But with this boy, Malfoy, who was inches away, a few inches seemed like a barrier that was bound to be broken. I felt disappointed in myself for liking a boy who I knew nothing about. My mind scolded me saying it’s irrational and stupid but my mind was no use compared to my fast beating heart who was already so fascinated with him, and allured by him. Usually my thoughts were overwhelming and I couldn’t stop thinking, and I always had wished I could silence my mind . My mind was silenced by my heart for the first time in forever. All because of a very clumsy,handsome boy.

Draco’s P.O.V

I couldn’t help but think the girl was pretty, her long curly brown hair, her mysterious dark eyes, her freckled nose and cheeks, her brown skin. Everything about her was pretty. I couldn’t be a dick and not say sorry to her. When I did apologize, if ears could have an orgasm, mine most certainly did. Her voice was so soft and mysterious, and her American accent made her voice even more sexy. I smiled at her and she blushed and it made her even more attractive. In the moonlight, she looked like a model. I could tell she was the quiet sort. So for the rest of the way to Hogwarts, we sat in silence. Usually silence would be uncomfortable for me, but with her it was so peaceful. The lake water lapping against the boat, the excited chattering from others around us, and her soft breathing, relaxed me and I felt myself drift into sleep.

Of course my sleep didn’t last more than 2 minutes it is a short ride. At first, I was upset my nap had ended, but then my whole body paid attention to the pretty girl gently shaking me awake. It was such a genuine gesture, a gentle shake on my shoulder, but it made me happy, comfortable, and relaxed, like I was in paradise. It makes no sense why she makes me feel this way I dont even know her but I know I don’t want her to stop. So I pretend I’m still asleep and let her continue. She patiently continues gently shaking me waiting for me to wake up. Until she finally says, “Malfoy, we have to go”, trying to ignore the ear orgasm I was given from her speaking to me, I walk awkwardly out the boat. I wanted to help her out, but by the time I was out the boat she was too. We speed walked to catch up with the other first years. I didn’t want to leave her it was like she was a peice of metal and I was the magnet, I was attracted to her and couldn’t shove off, but Crabbe and Goyle, stared at me expectingly. I didn’t want them to suspect me liking her, so I was going to head over to them. Before I did though ,I turned to the girl,( even more beautiful in the light ), trying to mimic the same soft voice she uses that I like so much, I said, “I’ll hope to see you later”. She blushed and it was so cute I almost couldn’t look away, but then I remembered Crabbe and Goyle. And then I left the beautiful, mysterious, quiet, girl behind me. I’ve never been so reluctant, then at that moment leaving her, even if it is just going to be for a short time. I believe almost everything my father, Lucious Malfoy, says and he’s always told me “Love at first sight is something only a fool believes. It’s not true, Draco. It’s not true.”Now I’m not so sure. All because of a reserved, beautiful girl.

Charity’s P.O.V

The reaction to his comment was extraordinarily close to being on a rollercoaster. My heart fluttered, and my whole body went warm again. In the moonlight he was handsome, but in the light he wasn’t as just handsome, but beautiful. I watched him walk away, and one of his friends saw me looking and whispered to him. He blushed. I could’ve cried from embarrassment. That’s why I was glad when a woman with a stern face and a tight bun opened the door to Hogwarts, which caught everyone’s attention including Malfoy’s ( now that realize it really scary looking) friends. She basically said we were to be sorted into our houses. I was nervous to go in front of the whole school and be sorted. If I did that then based on my house is how people will look at me for the rest of my years. I really hope I get the right house. I couldn’t help but think I wanted to in Malfoy's house. Suddenly the first years started moving forward into a glorious dining room full of people. My stomach fell to my feet as I looked at everyone staring at us. I was glad we stopped walking cuz I couldn’t feel my feet and I was going to trip sooner or later. I stared at my shoes, and prayed this will be all over soon. I was knocked straight out of my thoughts when I heard ,”Malfoy, Draco”,by the same stern scary looking lady. I stood on my tiptoes to peer at him sitting on the stool to be sorted. The hat didn’t hesitate as it yelled Slytherin. I wanted to be in Slytherin. The desire in my heart burned so much if I wasn’t put into that house, the hat would have to be cruel.

Draco’s P.O.V

I wasn’t surprised at all at my house. My family has a reputation for being in Slytherin. Now all I could think about was the pretty girl and wishing she could be in my house. Since I didn’t know her name, I was paying such deep attention. About a thousand names were called before hers was called. Professor Mcgonagall said,”Midnight, Charity”, even her name was pretty. I liked the way she moved noiselessly and gracefully like a black cat on a street. Not quite like a dancer because she still looked so mysterious like she has secrets that are never to be shared.Now wishing was a understatement, I was beckoning her to me because I was wishing so hard. My breath stopped when the hat plopped on her head, he named just about all her qualities some I knew some I didnt. Like I knew she was quiet and reserved, but I didn’t know she was loyal, and so incredibly smart. At first it seemed as if the dumb hat couldn’t sort her, like she was a puzzle. But then I heard him say, “Slytherin, ah your very attracted to that house, you are quiet and reserved, smart, yet fairly cunning, very ambitious, you work very hard for your goals, a true friend, great listener, resourceful, oh why didn’t I see it before of course I’m gonna have to put you in SLYTHERIN!” I started breathing again and my heart pumped faster and faster as she stepped closer and closer to my table. As if she was a celebrity I would have paid money for her to sit right next to me.As if able to read my mind she speed walked to the chair and sat down gracefully without a noise. Suddenly, we locked eyes, and I felt her mysterious eyes inspect me, and I looked hungrily back taking in every inch of her. I hadn’t realized until she looked at my croch and started chuckling softly, her chuckling sounded like a musical songbird, that I realized I had a huge boner. This is the first time I hadn’t felt like I was in a relaxation trance with Charity. I started panicking and covered it with my cloak. As if she is able to read my mind, she looked back at my eyes and didn’t say a single thing. I felt my muscles slowly relax and my mind start ease out of panick mode as her presence and stare sunk in to me.

Charity’s P.O.V

I hadn’t meant to embarrass him. He seemed more relaxed when I looked into his eyes so I gladly did. In my opinion it was the best part of him. My favorite part of him. His eyes where a very pale blue, and the lights shone so nicely on them. His eyes melted into mine as soon as I looked into them and he slowly relaxed. He sat there for a while perfectly relaxed until he finally said something,”How do you do that”, he said. “What”, I asked. He smiled at me, it’s pretty high of me to think this but I think he likes my voice he smiled every time I speak.”Have that type of affect on people, well maybe just me”, he said. I blushed and didn’t answer I couldn’t help it he stunned me he knocked the air out of me. He took this the wrong way though and said,”It’s ok you don’t have to tell me or anything I was just wondering”,he said. His voice was light but his eyes burned with curiosity. “I didn’t know I had an affect on you”, I said. “ You so easily make me comfortable, relaxed, and the extraordinary part is you don’t even have to be talking, you just have to be there”, he said. I admired that he spoke his mind that well, I could never. “Idk”, I answered honestly. He smiled so brightly that I smiled back and he said so softly it was almost unintelligible but I heard it he said,” Of course you don’t know the affect you have on me.”

Author’s Note to the reader: To continue this story you have to understand for the first year, and second year, Malfoy and Charity flirt with each other and like each other but never truly come out. Not until the continued story you are about to read which takes place in the third year. This is when the good stuff really starts to happen. But first you need to understand their relationship as friends, they are first pretty inseparable. Charity is a very good listener and listens to Malfoy while he complains about Potter and the Weasleys and all the non purebloods ( she thinks its pretty ridiculous his hatred for all of them but knows better than to say anything ) Malfoy knows exactly how to make Charity laugh and is always there for Charity, but is very distressed that she still hasn’t opened up about her past or her feelings about anything like if she’s sad but chooses to get over it ( this is very important later). They are now used to each other, Charity always knows how Malfoy’s feeling because of her intuition can read him like a book so he doesn’t bother hiding it ( also important) Malfoy can’t read Charity from the body language or in the eyes like Charity can however. However there friendship works out perfect because Malfoy always feels the center of attention because she has no other main friends like him and listens to him very contently. Malfoy is never stumped with Charity’s quietness because he’s always got something to say, he’s always very funny around Charity and makes her laugh because he loves the sound of her laugh ( sounds like music from a songbird) Malfoy tries to make her talk as much as possible because he loves her voice ( as you can tell from pt. 1) KEEP IN MIND they haven’t touched much than a few awkward side hugs when they can’t see each other over summer break. For younger viewers at the age of about 9 and under this second pt is a bit much for you guys LOVE YOU ENJOY

Charity’s P.O.V

I was about to board the Hogwarts express when I hear Malfoy calling me, “CHARITY, CHARITY, COME HERE”. I chuckle as I approach him, “I’m excited to see you to Mal-“, I couldn’t finish because he had hugged me. Not the regular awkward side hug we usually shared, but a actual embrace. He pulled me into his arms. Gently lifted me off my feet, and pressed my body to his. He rested his head on my shoulder, and in a very sexy whisper, he said, “Call me Draco”. I chuckled because it was strange how he never told me to do this before. Instead of smiling brightly like he usually does when I chuckle, he sets me down very gently, as if I’m a peice of pottery that might break. His pale eyes look so intently into mine I have to look away it’s so painfully awkward for me. He gently put his finger on my chin ( again like I am a peice of pottery that could break with one tap ) and pulled my face back in the direction of his, when he saw I made a special effort not to look him in the eyes, he said patiently, softly “Look me in my eyes please”, and I just didnt, I couldn’t . He burst out into outrageously loud laughter. He scared me so bad I almost fell but he caught me on the arm and pulled me up ( pulled me close to his side). He laughed again more quietly and looked sheepishly into my eyes, and said “Sorry, did I startle you?”This sent me into another fit of giggles. He skimmed the small of my lower back before resting his hand on it and then guided me into the train, again with such gentlness. He guided me with such drive that it was like he was guiding me to save my life. I also couldnt help but feel like a drunk person as he guided me, all of that made me chuckle. I looked up and saw the smile, the usual smile I saw when I chuckled. He also looked so concerned for my mental health I started laughing even harder. He took a empty bunker and gently pulled me into the seat right next to him. I was too busy having fun with Draco to notice how heavenly he smelled. I took a deep breath really only to smell more of him. He smelled of the forest like pine trees and sweet water. He suddenly said “Let’s play truth or dare”. “Alright”.”Truth it Dare”, he said. “Dare”. “Ok if your feeling brave go pick truth”, he said. I chuckled because that’s not how it worked but I knew better than to get into a arguement with Malfoy. “Truth”. “What did you do this summer”, he said. My eyes flew up to his because he said it with such intent that it sounded as if he wasn’t asking me a simple question rather interrogating me. “Hung out”, I said slowly. He sighed. “Truth or Dare”, I said cautiously. “Truth”. “What’s wrong”, I whispered. “ I wish I understood you” he whimpered. He sounded like he was in so much pain when he said it, his voice even cracked. Suddenly I got really scared and I felt his pain, and I said “I’m sorry”. I looked him in the eyes but that didn’t relax him like it usually does instead tears started to form, and I began to panic. Out of desperation to make him feel better, I leaned all the way into him, rested my head on his shoulder, put my arm around his shoulder and rubbed gently. “We can fix that”, I said gently. He didn’t seem like he was going to cry anymore but he did a disbelieving grunt. Hopeless and about ready to cry myself “I can fix this”, I whimpered. To my relief he relaxed and wrapped his arm around my waist and pulled me even closer than we already were and said “Brilliant”. With him finally relaxed I felt him, really paid attention his touch,and how we were closer than ever before. It was always in the back of my mind but it never really came to surface until now but Draco Malfoy was always very warm, and right now he was like a personal blanket. He was so warm I couldn’t help but snuggle into him. “Hey”, he said. I looked up and he looked really sheepish and was blushing. “You look tired, probably from dealing with me”, he said softly.”Of course not, love”, I said even softer than him. He blushed bright red, and I said, “But I am tired”. “Go to sleep”, he whispered in my ear. His warmth, his soft breathing, and the lull of the train could put me too sleep any day . As I was drifting off into sleep. I could’ve sworn he said “Sleep tight, love”.
