"If you so much as look at Draco I will perform all three unforgivable curse on you!' Pansy spat at Cyn, who looked extremely confused and alarmed. She shot Draco a questioning look. He in turn glared at Pansy.

"EXPELLIARMUS!" he shouted, and Pansy's wand went flying to his hand.

He looked prepared to snap the wand in half.

"Never threaten Cyn! If I find out you're bothering her no matter how far away from you I am I swear I will hurt you," he said through clenched teeth. The carriage started moving and she sat herself next to him and leaned up against his shoulder.

"You know you don't mean that, my dragon," she said, running her fingers through is pale blond hair. He looked at her in disgust and wrenched her away, moving to sit with Cyn, who surveyed the scene in obvious confusion. Pansy sat there glaring at them. Draco thought she looked remarkably like Harry had earlier that day. He casually draped his arm over the seat, letting his fingers gently brush Cyn's shoulder. He smirked when he saw Pansy's expression grow even more sour. Cyn caught on to what he was trying to do and decided to play along. She gave Draco a short nod to show she understood and launched into action. She leaned her head on Draco's chest and let him gently play with her shoulder length blond hair. Draco put one arm around her and continued to play with her hair with the other.

Draco soon realized he was enjoying this. He knew that Cyn was just going along with this to bother Pansy, but that didn't stop him from secretly wishing that it meant more than that. He knew it would never happen, she would probably end up in Gryffindor and he wouldn't be able to even speak civilly to her. 'She'll probably end up with Potter,' he thought bitterly.

Cyn loved the way his fingers felt, running through her soft hair. If only he really liked her. If only this wasn't just a big show to get that Pansy girl irritated. She wished that he felt the same way as her, but knew that it would never happen. No one she liked in that way ever felt the same about her. Maybe this one could be different, maybe.

Pansy knew that they were only putting on a show, but she saw something there that neither of them saw. She saw the way Draco looked at her, and the quiet smile on Cyn's face. She realized then that whether they knew it or not, they loved eachother, though they had only known eachother for a few hours, they had both fallen hard for the other. This was not good. Pansy knew that sooner or later they would end up together, she would just have to make sure that didn't happen, she would keep them apart, by whatever means she saw necessary.

The carriages stopped at Hogwarts and the students filed out. Draco had his arm around Cyn, they were both telling themselves they were still putting on a show for Pansy.

"I have to go meet Jane at the entrance, we have to be sorted after the first years," she said to Draco. He didn't want to leave her so he said he would show her where it was. Together they walked to the entrance and were greeted by Professor Mcgonnagal, along with Jane and all the first years.

"Mister Malfoy, what are you doing here, shouldn't you be in thre dining Hall?" Mcgonnagal questioned. Draco looked annoyed.

"I was showing this girl here where to go Professor," he drawled. Mcgonnagal looked suspicious, she had never seen him act so considerate. She decided it was best to just let it go and not worry about it….she was going to tell Severus about this. Let him worry about his students, and she would in turn worry about the Gryffindors, she didn't need the extra confusion.

"Very well Malfoy, you can wait with James and Murray, we don't need you to walk in and interrupt the sorting," she said bitterly. He nodded and watched Mcgonnagal lead the first year students to the dining hall.

"What's wrong with her, she acts like someone put something rather nasty in her bed this morning and she's taking it out on the rest of the world," Cyn said to Draco. He smirked.

"Don't mind Mcgonnagal she's just an old bat," he said, Cyn giggled. Jane just stood and watched the whole scene in amusement. It looked as if Cyn had already found a boyfriend at Hogwarts, and what made it even more amusing to Jane was that the only two people who didn't seem aware of this were Draco and Cyn. She chuckled to herself, which caused her to receive a dirty look from her lovestruck cousin. Cyn was unable to do anything to Jane though, because at that moment Mcgannagal came in and told the three students to follow her.

"Now just stand off to the side until you here Professor Dumbledore announce you. Malfoy, you may go to the Slytherin table," and with that, they entered the Great Hall.

"Now, before you eat, I have a few announcements," he paused as the students all let out an annoyed groan.

"First, I would like to introduce our new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, Jenna Black," here there were a few scattered claps in the hall. "Next I would like to announce our two new transfer students, Miss Cynthia James and Miss Jane Murray. Miss Murray please step up to be sorted."

Jane looked nervous. Cyn gave her a little push and whispered "Goodluck," in her ear. She smiled and stepped up. The sorting hat was placed on her head. A few minutes went by.

"GRYFFINDOR!" it shouted. Jane grinned and was led by Professor Black to the Gryffindor table, the professor whispered something in Jane's ear and she smiled. Next Dumbledore called Cyn up. Draco looked up nervously as the hat was placed on her head.

"SLYTHERIN!" the hat shouted, Harry and his friends all let out a sigh of disappointment, but Draco was so happy he didn't have words to describe his happiness. He made room for Cyn and she went and sat down next to him, everyone welcomed her. She, Draco, and Blaise Zabini were soon talking as if they had known eachother their whole lives, but there was one person at the Slytherin table who was not happy about Cyn being placed in Slytherin House, and that was Pansy. Draco caught her eyeing Cyn and shot her a warning glance, before returning to his conversation with Cyn. He could tell they had a long year ahead of them.
