A/N 2/25: Okay, from now on, I'm not making any more of these author's
notes. So, all author's notes following this one are the originals. Just
letting you know.
A/N: Only 4 reviews ::disappointed sigh::?! I feel so unappreciated. Thanks to Draco Malfoy is my love slave (of course this is going to have some sort of D/H slash, how could I *not* write a story with that?) , CrystalStarGuardian (glad I did a good job with keeping Star in character, I'll try to keep her in character, so expect e-mail soon), and my friends Ross and Laurel for reviewing! You guys are the only reason I'm actually continuing this story, no one else seems to like it ::sniff::. Oh, and can anyone think of a title for this story? I'd really like to have one but I can't seem to come up with it.
See chapter 1 for disclaimer and warning, because it applies to every chapter. I'm too lazy to post them for every single chapter. This is probably going to be the only other chapter that gets something close. As usual, I own almost nothing. Aurora and the plot are mine, Star and all things associated with her belong to CrystalStarGuardian (thanks so much for letting me borrow her!), and everything else belongs to JKR.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Draco knocked on the door to the compartment.
"Dammit Pellerin can I come in yet? I've been walking the length of this godforsaken train for the past hour."
"That depends," she called back. "Do you have Aurora with you?"
Aurora laughed.
"Hi Star. Nice to see you haven't changed a bit."
"You can come in now."
She sounded almost disappointed that he had come back so soon. Draco slumped onto the seat next to Star, and Aurora sat down across from them.
"Hi Aurora. Welcome to Hogwarts, although there's not really a lot to be welcomed to. Though it should be a change from Coronados."
"It's already better in one respect, everyone speaks English. But everyone at Coronados was way too boring. It was like having an entire school full of Gryffindors and Hufflepuffs. Hopefully here there will at least be *some* people worth talking to."
(A/N: To clear up that comment, Aurora has kept in touch with Draco and Star {owls, seeing them over vacations, etc.}, so she knows about the different houses, what the people in them are like, and of course about Draco's little, ahem, obsession with Harry. Oh, and I know they're all OOC in this part, I figured out would be fun to play around with what they're like away from the rest of the school. They'll all be more in character and Slytherin-ish in front of everyone else. Just one thing, do they usually call each other by their first or last names? Well actually, which one seems more believable? Whatever. Now back to the story!)
She shuddered at the recollection of the people in her old school.
"Draco, unless sometime in the past five minutes you felt an astounding amount of pity for me about my former school or the cat got your tongue, you've been astoundingly silent. "
"Wizard, give Dracypoo his tongue back. He needs it to see what it's like inside Potter's mouth"
"Oh shut it Pellerin. You too Martinez. I will never survive this year now that both of you are here."
Star and Aurora smirked.
"And if you call me Dracypoo again I'll hex you into the middle of next week. I'm going to kill Parkinson if she calls me that one more time. Why did you have to be in the same compartment as him? God, Martinez, you can't make my life easy can you?"
"Of course not. But as much as I would like to take credit for that, it wasn't my fault. I was sitting alone and they walked in and sat down. I knew Star would eventually make you come looking for me, even if you didn't do it of your own idea. Too bad I couldn't have stayed longer, that was just beginning to get interesting. Have to compliment you on one thing Draco, Potter really does have nice eyes."
Noting the death glare sent in her direction by the blond across from her, she added, "He's not my type though."
"Fine, but did you have to throw in that comment about meeting the 'boy you've heard so much about'?"
She smiled sweetly at him.
"Of course"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Farther down the train, Harry was being unusually quiet.
"You sure you're okay Harry? You've seemed kind of out there."
"Ron, I'm fine!"
"Positive?"
"Yes, I'm sure! Stop worrying, you're starting to sound like your mum."
The expression on the redhead's face was priceless. Just then, Seamus and Neville came into their compartment.
"What's so amusing? Or do I not want to know?" asked Seamus, grinning.
Harry managed to stop laughing long enough to gasp out, "Ron's expression after I told him he was starting to sound like his mum. Talk about a Kodak moment!"
The others were puzzled. "Never mind, it's a muggle thing."
Then, Trevor jumped out of Neville's pocket and onto Ron's head. Harry, Seamus, and Neville all collapsed into the seats, laughing so much that they could hardly breathe. Ron finally snapped out of the trance he had been in, and asked the other boys what was so funny. They simply pointed at his head, doubled up with laughter. Trevor let out a loud croak, and then jumped back to Neville.
"He was on my head?!?!?! Argh!!!!!!"
It was about half an hour before all of them finally stopped chuckling.
"Maybe we should put on our robes now."
"Harry, your watch is broken. How could you tell?"
"Well, look out the window."
The 4 boys put on their school uniforms as the train got closer and closer to Hogwarts.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Sorting went as usual. Dumbledore had given Aurora the option of eating with the Slytherins and going to his office after the meal to be sorted, or being sorted with the first years. She had obviously chosen the former and sat talking and laughing with the Slytherins.
Ron pointed at her across the room.
"Harry, look over there. It's that girl we met on the train, the Spanish one."
"Oh, Aurora. Seems like she's found where she belongs."
"You could say that. And I think that you should learn her last name better than her first, if she turns out to be anything like those two she's sitting with."
"True. Martinez isn't it? This year should be interesting, to say the least."
"You're starting to sound like Trelawney. We haven't had any lessons yet, don't rush into even the *thought* of Divination. But you're probably right, those three are not going to make our lives easy."
Hermione turned toward her two friends as she finished her conversation with Ginny.
"Are you two taking that class again this year? I don't see why you put up with that old fraud. Who's this Martinez person you're talking about?"
The boys proceeded to fill in their friend about the strange new girl at Hogwarts.
~~~~
The three people in question were deep in conversation, wearing almost identical smirks on their faces. It was quite a contrast seeing the much darker girl in between the two paler individuals on her either side. Her expression and Star's became gleeful as Pansy attached herself to Draco's side.
"Oh, Dracypoo, I've missed you so much!!!! It was awful not seeing you for the whole summer! Did you miss me?"
"Umm, er, yes………of course………"
The two girls could hardly contain their laughter, which brought glares from both Draco and Pansy.
"And just what do you two find so funny? If I were you, Pellerin, I wouldn't be so amused. At least *I* have a boyfriend. And who are you?"
Pansy ended with a menacing stare in Aurora's direction.
"Aurora Martinez," she said innocently. "The pleasure's all yours. Oh, and with all due respect, how could someone who so resembles a bulldog have a boyfriend? Who's the lucky domestic animal?" Her face was so angelic that her sarcasm would have gone practically unnoticed, if not for the snickering coming from the people around her. Pansy stammered, red faced.
"Obviously another bitter little single girl. Well Martinez, it just so happens that Dracy here is my boyfriend."
She added, with a glance in his direction, "right sweetie?"
Draco and Star simultaneously nearly choked on their pumpkin juice, both unable to comment due to either shock or laughter, while Aurora watched amusedly with her eyebrows raised.
"Hmm, actually, I'm going to have to point out that you're wrong on that one, although I'm *sure* that you're never wrong."
"Oh, really, and why is that?"
"Well, you see, Draco couldn't be your boyfriend, since he's already mine" she said innocuously as she slid her arm around his waist and muttered in his ear "just trust me and go along with it, this should get her off your back for a while, until everyone finds out that I'm really not your girlfriend"
Although Draco was reluctant to get himself into anything like this involving Aurora because of unpleasant past experiences where her plans had unexpectedly backfired, the prospect of getting Pansy away from him for even a day sounded very good indeed.
"Uh, yeah, she is. Sorry Pans."
Pansy gaped at them and then turned around to talk to Blaise, muttering uncomplimentary things about that 'stupid little Spanish slut', though the other Slytherin seemed amused by Aurora's performance. Star had finally stopped coughing and regained her breath.
"Take that Parkinson," she muttered.
Draco groaned. "What have I gotten myself into? Now everyone's going to think I'm dating *you*."
"Trust me, pretending to be your girlfriend won't be much of a picnic either. Seeing the look on that twat's face when I told her I was your girlfriend was definitely worth it though. Now come on, I still need to be sorted."
As the rest of the school followed the prefects to their common rooms, the three students stood up and made their way to Dumbledore's office.
A/N: I think I'll end here, just so I can finally post this chapter. I'm going to have around 1-3 MST chapters (it makes sense when you get up to that point), so if you have any fics that you think would get a good (well good in my terms, which usually involves fainting, seizures, etc. on their part) reaction from Draco, Harry, Star, and Aurora, e-mail it to me (the sooner I get them the sooner you'll get more chapters!)
A few questions though, that I would really appreciate answers to in a review or email!! 1) Is Blaise Zabini a guy or a girl (yes, it is Zabini, not Zambini, I checked)? and 2) Should Draco, Star, and Aurora call each other by their first or last names? I think those are the only ones I had. Don't forget to review—if you leave a signed review I promise to review one of your fics (I have no problem with self-promotion, lol)!!!!!!
A note for anyone who intends to read any of my other fics (which if you're a D/H shipper you should, in my opinion), I'm working on 'I Love You, I Hate You, I Miss You', some future chapters for this story (if anyone even wants them, I have my general plot idea completely worked out but no one ever reviews any of my stories anymore ::sob::), another D/H fic that should be up pretty soon, and a new LoTR fic, but I doubt anyone reading this would read that.
I'm very tempted to go off into one of my LoTR ramblings, but this is a HP fic and I don't think anyone would really appreciate that. However, just for the hell of it, I'm going to make one comment. Aragorn and Legolas are both mine!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Mwahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hehe, I'm okay. Really ^_^
Anywho, don't forget to go post your review like a nice little reader (because I'm not posting any more chapters until I get a decent number of reviews, ones from people whose pens I stole at school and refused to give back before they reviewed don't really count) How does at least 8 sound to you? Sounds good to me, so 8 reviews until chapter 3 (which has much more in it than Aurora's sorting, hehehe) Okay, this author's note was more than long enough to make up for my silence last chapter. So, go review, and more chapters will come!!!!!!!!!
