She followed Snape down the halls towards the Great Hall. Her things had been moved to the Slytherin dorms and it was time for the feast. As they entered the hall she felts Harry and Ginny's eyes on her but she refused to look towards them. Instead she walked confidently to the Slytherin table and sat down. The great hall door opened just as someone slipped into the seat beside her. She glanced quickly to her side and saw a boy of her age with silver blonde hair pale skin and cold blue eyes that stared piercingly at her. She looked away and watched the group of first years make their way towards the front. They looked around in awe and innocent fear. She smiled slightly and wondered if she would have been that scared had she started here in her first year. Dumbeldore stood the give a speech and Melody let her gaze wonder through the teacher's table. Snape sat at the end and looked as if he wanted to be anywhere but there, next to him sat professor Flitwick, then Professor Sprout and then Professor Lupin. She smiled slightly looking at him, she had a father again. She sighed she gained something but lost so much. Someone tapped her on the shoulder and looked to see the silver haired boy looking down his nose at her.

"You're the new girl?" he asked.

She nodded and looked away. She blink when she realized that the tables where filled with food.

"Well, aren't you going to tell me who you are?" he demanded.

She shrugged and picked up her fork, "You haven't asked yet."

She dipped it in the mashed potatoes on her plate and was about to take a bite when he spoke up again.

"Who are you then?" he asked.

"The new girl." She said, purposely being annoying. She took the bite of mashed potato's and swallowed. The mashed potatoes were perfect as they had always been.

The boy sighed in annoyance, "I know that, I ment what's your name?"

"Melody." She said then took another fork full of the white mush.

"I'm Malfoy." He said.

She nearly choked, Malfoy?!

She looked at him out of the corner of her eye. His face was completely expressionless and his eyes were cold and void of any emotion.

She shivered she could feel the dark that surrounded him.

"I hear you're friends with Potter." He said trying to sound casual but spitting out Harry's last name as if it left a bad taste in his mouth.

She didn't say anything.

"They dumped you didn't they." He said with a slight hint of satisfaction.

She looked at him then, "Why do you care? I was told you were a self-centered daddy's boys death eater in training."

He smirked as if it was a complement, "I suppose they told you that?"

She blinked, "Well, yeah."

He leaned closer and whispered in her ear, "Never judge by what people say."

Her eyes widened and her cheeks flushed. She quickly looked back down at her plate and they didn't say anything for the rest of dinner.

Harry saw Malfoy lean towards Melody and felt jealousy flar through his heart. He blinked surprised at his reaction. What's wrong with you Potter? She's a Slytherin remember? She would probably turn on you sometime along the way. He told himself.

You don't believe that, do you? a voice said, This is Melody, she's to alone to turn on anyone. Harry put the thought to the back of his mind right now wasn't a good to time to think about it.

Melody didn't know why but despite the evil she felt from Malfoy he was the only one she talked to, for he was the only one who would listen.
