Thanks for the 2 reviews.

Emily, the chapters seemed longer when I wrote it by hand.

Nicole, I'll try to do this right this time.

"Draco, get up or you'll be late!" is what Draco woke up to on September first. He hurriedly got dressed and apparated to King's Cross to catch the train. When he got there, he disappeared to all muggles at the station as he went to platform 9¾. As Draco wandered seemingly aimlessly onto the train he ran into someone and fell back into a seat.

"Hey, watch it!" cried Draco.

"Oh, I'm so sorry. Uh. you're. Draco, right? Remember me?"

"Well. you seem familiar." Draco said, wanting to continue his macho charade.

"We met in Diagon Alley" said Emily, trying to clarify.

"Well, I can't be seen with you. I have a reputation of being very inhospitable." And with that Draco walked airily out of the room while wondering why he'd done so, when he'd been thinking of her all the time since Diagon Alley.

When they arrived at Hogwarts, Draco found himself wondering where Emily would be sorted. She was too sweet for Slytherin, too smart for Hufflepuff, not sharp enough for Ravenclaw and that only left Gryffindor and he honestly hoped she wouldn't go there, as his enemy was the Gryffindor prefect.

The next day he decided to apologize to Emily. He knew he was being stupid. She was new and didn't know her way around so when he cornered her in the hallway, he offered to show her around.

He probably should have been more subtle.

"Emily!" he called out.

She kept walking away.

"Emily, please! Stop!" he called again.

She stopped and turned to face him.

"You rang?" she answered hotly.

"Don't be like this Emily, I wanted to apologize."

"Oh. Alright, then. I accept it." She started walking again.

"Emily, I want to make it up to you by showing you around. Then after, I plan to show you what kissing is all about."

Emily burst out laughing. "You obviously don't know me very well. I don't need to be shown. I wrote the book on kissing. Besides, Harry Potter showed me around last night."

"Well, Potter wouldn't know where all of the forbidden areas are."

"Actually he didn't show me around. He offered but I refused. I just said that to see your reaction. Obviously you're very eager." Emily explained as Draco pulled her into his arms.

"And you know it's obvious you want to." Draco finished as she pulled away.

She fell back into his arms and whispered, "Obviously."
