Ok.for chapter 2..this will be longer than the first! PLEASE REVIEW!
Let me stop stalling and get to this!
Chapter 2
Nicole peeked at this boy who had positioned himself next to her feet. Her attention quickly turned to her cat who had stirred from her rest to investigate this boy. Nightingale crept up to Draco and sniffed his robes, smelling fresh. The cat proceeded to nuzzle him in the arm which startled Draco, who was quite confused by this cat.
"Jeez, kid. She's a cat, not a python! She's very friendly you know," she said as she took her feet from the seat and crossed her legs, tucking away her book in her bag. She gently stroked Nightingale's back. "See, she wants to sit on your lap." Motioning to the cat who had jumped on Draco's thighs.
"I'm sure she's delightful but I would prefer to keep my robes free from cat hair if you don't mind!" he said, avoiding petting the cat.
Nicole promptly rolled her eyes "You fooled me...you looked smart there for a second, but yet again, a chimp would be quite intelligent looking in front of those 2 buffoons" pointing over to the spat Crabbe and Goyle were engaging in over a game of WirelessQuidditchPlus complete with hologram announcers projected between the two Slytherins. One had apparently fouled and made the other's tiny hologram keeper fall off his broom. The two were oblivious to Draco and Nicole's conversation. "Did you happen to think of the simple lint-removing spell? We learned that when were eleven back at my old school."
Draco hesitantly patted the fluffy black cat as it curled up in his lap. He rubbed her chin, fumbling with her purple crystal-studded collar, with a nametag.
"See, Nightingale likes you. Haven't you ever had a cat before.." Nicole faded out at the end of the question, realized she didn't know the name of this blond boy.
"Draco. My name is Draco Malfoy." He shook her hand and gave her a genuine smile. He could feel himself tensing up. 'Why did I tell her my first name?! I'm always just Malfoy to everyone..and I SMILED at her! She'll think I'm a softy!' he thought to himself. "Well I've never met a Draco before.. You are the first." She replied with a smile. She had a beautiful smile, her magnificent cerulean blue eyes, thickly lined with black eyeliner and smoky eyeshadow, twinkling in the soft lighting of the train. "I'm Nicole. Nicole Joyce." "Quite the Mudblo-I mean, Muggle name" Draco cursed himself inwardly. 'Why did I do that? She'll think I'm some stuttering idiot.and why did you call her a Muggle.'she's so obviously a Mudblood.you know she deserves to be called a Mudblood' a voice rang through his head. "Well actually I'm half and half. My mother is a muggle and my father is a wizard but they decided to basically live as Muggles..that is until I started my training..ever since then its been more of a balance. And I you're in Slytherin house, right? I noticed the tie..I kind of figured you'd make a comment..a teacher from my school.well my old school went to Hogwarts and said that Slytherins were almost entirely purebloods." She stated. "Yes, well most of us are. I'm..I'm sorry I called you a Mudblood." Draco didn't know what he was doing! He had never apologized to anyone in his life for calling them a Mudblood. He hadn't known what had come over him.
"Hey! Candy!" Nicole exclaimed after she saw the candy trolley stop off at their compartment. She hopped up, and bought about 15 chocolate frogs, stuffing most in her bag. Except for two. "Here, have one." Nicole handed him a chocolate frog. He had never been given candy by anyone before, let alone a girl. "I could have gotten one myself you know!" He said defensively. "Yeah, but Nightingale is sleeping on your lap and I'd rather have you not blot up, startling her. She gets cranky. No need to get all hissy, Draco. Can't I give you a chocolate frog?" She asked condescendingly.
He decided to stop arguing and just eat the delicious confection, being careful not to wake the ball of fur sleeping on his lap. "Thank you, Nicole" he told her as she wiped her fingers on the seat, getting rid of the melted chocolate. "No prob." She replied nonchalantly.
She accidentally tipped her CD and case off the seat. She scooped them up, catching the glance of Draco who was mindlessly rubbing Nightingale under her chin. "Are those the things muggles use for music? I've heard about them.DCs or something."
"They are called CDs. They play on these, CD players. Well this one is actually a new one I got from my Dad. It can play wizard music too. I don't really like wizard music.I really only like normal stuff."
Draco took the thick CD book out of her hands.flipping through.
"oooo those are my Saves The Day CD.that's how Nightingale got her name..after one of my favorite Saves The Day songs.oh oh and there is The Strokes CD, Is This It..which is amazing beyond words!" Draco hadn't seen Nicole this excited over anything. She had been mellow the whole train ride. "oo ooo ooo Those are my Phantom Planet CD's and those are my other mix CDs of Phantom Planet. Ooo here's The White Stripes..oooo and Weezer..and The Velvet Underground, I've got lots of Velvet Underground CDs.." she giddily flipped through the many CDs, telling Draco each on. He couldn't believe how excited she was about her music. "Have you heard any of these bands?" She asked, expecting a long winded answer of his music.
"I'm not really allowed to listen to music actually.." He said, avoiding her eyes.
"You're not!!! I couldn't live without it! Hey, you wanna listen a bit?"
He took the headphones, and put them over his ears. She said "This CD, by Saves The Day, is amazing. Just listen to the lyrics. They are so gritty, so real. Blah! I can't explain to you how great they are! Just listen!" She said with such enthusiasm she looked like she was going to burst. Draco waited as the CD started. He heard the opening of At Your Funeral.and immediately understood what Nicole was talking about, connecting with music.
She gave him the biggest smile as she let him fully concentrate on the music streaming into his ears.
She picked up her book, ever few minutes glancing at Draco as he bobbed his head to the guitar in each song, while in his head..he knew this girl, like her music, would connect with him. He refused to dread what his father would say about listening to muggle music, talking to a halfblood, letting her buy him candy, showing emotion to a girl. He didn't notice the train stopping, all he cared about was the powerful lyrics, streaming from this muggle contraption, shooting into his brain.
So what do you think so far? I think I'll probably have a new chapter up by tonight! I'm in a mad rush to get this stuff written down and off it's feet.
*pouts* please review..miss nik needs comments!
I know the chapters aren't that long! I sorry! I just want to get the story going!
Peace out
