I backed away quickly and sat back down with my notebook. Draco went to
answer the knocking on the door. I was relieved to see that it was only a
first year to whom was lost. Being Head Boy Draco kindly showed the first
year to a compartment with other first years. He came back looking a bit
disturbed.
"What's the matter?" I asked trying to sound serious. Inside I was laughing.
"A girl was in the compartmet." He paused.
"go on."
"and she said that I was cute."
Now I couldn't help but to laugh. I let out a little giggle and smiled and he let out a faint smile himself.
"What do you expect, if you can get a girl like me to think your cute, I'm sure that when a first year took one look at you, her jaw dropped."
"I'm surprised that I didn't say something harsh to her, she just looked so.. young."
"She's probably only eleven of course she looks young."
"So where were we?" He asked walking closer to me.
"I don't know where you were but I was sitting here writing."
"Ouch, what happened in here while I was gone."
"Common Sence."
"What do you not want to be here with me. Wouldn't it be nice to go out with someone almost as smart as you?"
"I let you know when I find out. Plus, I was thinking of asking Ron out."
I knew this would tick him off. For some odd reason I don't like Draco as much when he is nice. I perfer him being mean. My plan was working, his smile curved downwards.
"Weasley?"
"Please refer to which Weasley you talk about, there are two of them you know."
"The boy Weasley, what does he have that I don't?"
"Personal hygiene."
This, to my surprise, did not make him angry, he just started to chuckle.
"Do I not smell minty fresh?" He laughed.
"Oh, so you spread mint chocolate chip ice cream all over yourself." I giggled.
Now I stood up and allowed him to take me into his arms but I did not want to kiss him. I just wanted to feel safe in his arms. Before he wrapped his arms around my waist he walked to the door of the compartment and locked it. We stood there in each others arms, me, with my arms around his neck, and his around my waist. Just then a voice came over the PA system, "5 minutes until we arrive at Hogwarts. Please be ready."
I brought my arms down to my sides and gestured him out the door. He obeyed but not until he grabbed his robes out of his trunk. I dressed and walked out of the door to find Draco. He was sitting outside of the door.
"Why does it take women so long to dress?" He asked me.
"To make up for the time that men don't take to dress." I teased, "It's just the way it is."
When the train came to a hault we had to share a horseless carriage. A couple minutes later , Ron and Harry came walking towards are carriage but luckily, Ginny and one of her friends hopped in before them. Seeing that our once vacant carriage was now occupied, Harry stopped Ron and sat in a carrige with Colin and his little brother Dennis.
"Thank you," I whispered to Ginny who was sitting behind me.
"I told you so." was all she replied with.
As soon as we got to the castle, I didn't even bother saying good-bye to Draco, it would look to suspicious. I just went right to the Gryffindor table about 25 seats from the front and made sure that people did not sit there. In my letter I was told to make sure there were seats for the first years and that there were to be a big class this year. I listened to Professor Dumbledore speak taking in his information like to stay clear of the womping willow, this year it is acting a bit ornery and more brutal then the past years. When he was finished McGonnagal placed the sorting hat onto the three legged stool. I tuned out the song and only caught a few words like "Rowena Ravenclaw, Helga Hufflepuff," etc. I was just trying to replay what happened on the train in my mind, trying to figure out why Draco had done all of that and if he really did like me. I placed my head into the palms of my hands that were held up with my elbow resting on the table. It felt so good to just think to myself and rest. Now the song is over, I must do my Head Girl duties by greeting new house members. How many times am I actually going to have to say, "Welcome to Gryffindor"? Would someone like to count for me?
