Chapter 3: Christian L'Amour
The girls in the Ravenclaw common room squealed as he came in. Many of them straightened their uniforms and fixed their hair.
"Good morning ladies." He said, slightly bowing to the giggling and blushing girls.
"Good morning Christian." One girl said in a whisper. He smiled to her and she nearly fainted.
Christian L'Amour was a seventh year French student at Hogwarts. He and Lucius Malfoy were the only two students in the school that girls went crazy over. But Lucius was rude and arrogant. Christian L'Amour, whose last name meant to love, was a prince in every girl's eyes.
Ironically, he and Lucius had some resemblances. Christian had darker blonde hair, and it was curly. He always kept in it a low ponytail, allowing a few curls to frame his perfectly tanned face. His body was shaped perfectly as well, not even the school robes could hide this figure. Even though Christian was French, he sounded more Romanian.
Christian approached Ravenclaw's seeker, a fifth year named Mariella Letrec, and bowed to her. She offered her hand and he kissed the top of it.
"Bonjour Monsieur L'Amour." Mariella greeted, who was also French.
"Bonjour." Christian smirked.
Mariella blushed deeply. Christian winked then nodded to all the girls in the Ravenclaw room. It was such a pity to see him walk out. But, he had to get to class.

Trini ran down the stairs and into the Slytherin common room. She squealed happily and jumped into a surprised Lucius's arms.
"What's with you?" Lucius asked, trying to pry Trini off of him.
"We have Transfigurations first period today!" Trini exclaimed. She let go of Lucius and hugged Serverus tightly.
"I don't understand." Serverus said, pulling Trini off of him. "You hate Transfigurations and you hate Professor McGonagall."
(A.N: I really don't know if McGonagall was a professor during Snape's student years or not. But damnit, it's my story!)
"We don't have Transfigurations with Gryffindor this year." Trini tried to explain, but she was too out of breath.
"And that's why you're so happy?" Lucius asked, looking really confused. "I know you hate Sirius Black but I didn't expect to see you this happy."
"No silly!" Trini snapped, getting her energy all over again, "We're having Transfigurations with Ravenclaw!"
"So?" Serverus responded.
"Don't you know who is in Ravenclaw?!" Trini exclaimed
"Umm." Lucius and Serverus exchanged confused looks.
"Do we know anyone in Ravenclaw that we like?" Lucius asked.
"Not that I know of." Serverus answered.
"You idiots!" Trini shouted, "Come on! You have to know! We're having first period with Christian L'Amour! The hottest guy in this school!"
"No he's not." Lucius growled, "He's just a different version of me!"
"You're not that handsome." Trini said, rolling her eyes.
~*~
"Today, we will learn how turn vicious animals into gentle creatures." McGonagall began. All of the male students were paying attention. But all the female students were too busy starring at the handsome student in the back of the room.
"Trini!" Serverus whispered, elbowing his friend in the side. "Pay attention! You know how strict McGonagall is!"
Trini sighed and turned around in her seat. She glared at Snape then looked towards the professor. McGonagall was transforming a lion into a calico kitten.
Christian was smirking through the whole period. Not only did he have good looks, but he was pretty intelligent. He was the only student who could transform a wolf into a pug.
~*~
"No Monsieur Malfoy! You're pronouncing it all wrong!" Lucius said in a fake Romanian accent, "You have to be stuck up like me to pass this class!"
Serverus snickered. Trini threw Lucius the meanest look.
"You are just jealous!" Trini scolded.
"Jealous?!" Lucius laughed. Serverus had to cover his face so Trini couldn't see him laugh, though it was pretty obvious. "I'm jealous of Monsieur Bloodlust? Oh yes, Trini. I'm just dieing to bite your neck."
Serverus ducked through a corridor to dodge Trini's fist flying towards the two. "He is not a vampire, Malfoy!" Trini cried, "All you guys just say that because of his dashing looks!"
"Dashing looks?" a clever voice mocked. Serverus was pushed out of the corridor he had ducked into. A student with long black hair came out after Serverus. He smirked and looked at Trini, "You're talking about me, aren't you?"
"Ugh! You wish!" Trini scowled.
"What are you doing here Black?" Lucius growled, stepping in front of Trini. "This is Slytherin's side of the school."
"Oh? So Slytherin has their own side of the school?" Sirius asked, smirking. He dusted off his red and gold robes, "This is the only route to the Quidditch field. I've got practice."
"Don't even bother." Lucius said with a short, snobbish laugh. "You're going to lose to us in a month anyhow."
"Is that a challenge Malfoy?" Sirius asked with a curious expression.
"Maybe it is." Lucius responded with the same expression.
"I'll see you on the field then." Sirius grinned. He turned to James Potter, who always appeared out of the corridor. He waved to his friend and the two walked past Trini and Lucius. They disappeared out onto the field.
Lucius watched them the whole way out. He had that angry look in his eyes. Trini grabbed Lucius's shoulder and said, "Just let it go Lucius."
"Get your robes Trini." Lucius demanded, "We're going to practice."
With that, Lucius stomped off down the hall leaving Serverus and Trini looking back at him in silence. Serverus turned to Trini, she looked back at him. He shrugged, "I guess you better go."
Trini sighed and starred down at the hard floor. "Why can't you be in Quidditch with us? It's not fair."
"I don't have the talent. You know that. Besides, one of us needs to stay in the stands and give some support."
"Don't get soft, Snape." Trini said with a smirk, "It's not very Slytherin of you. Anyways, I'll guess I'll see you at dinner!" Trini waved and ran down the hall towards the direction Lucius went.
Snape blushed softly. Was he being soft? Impossible. He was never soft. But for a split second, he felt jealousy towards Christian L'Amour.
~*~
It didn't take Lucius ten minutes to find all the players on the Slytherin team. He forced them all to change into their robes and was out onto the field in a second. Trini was sighing. She looked down at her green robes, eyeing the Slytherin patchwork closely. She did this before every game.
But this was only practice.
Lucius turned to Trini. He always had that devilish smirk before practice or a game. He nodded his head to her and asked, "Alright there Trini? Got your club ready?"
Trini looked up at her best friend. She smiled and nodded her head. "Yes, I am fine Malfoy. My club is ready. I'm taking it like a usual game!"
"You should. We can't let Gryffindor take us down."
Lucius laughed shortly. Trini seethed, she never liked that snobbish laugh of his. She always compared Lucius to Christian, hoping Christian didn't have such a laugh. How could he? He was too perfect.
The players took their positions. James and Lucius floating the highest. They glared at each other and waited for the whistle.
Sirius swung his club around like it was a baton. He looked so snug and laid back. Trini was hating that look. She couldn't concentrate at the moment. Why was Sirius getting to her so badly?
The whistle blew and the match had started! The quaffle, bludgers, and snitch were released. Lucius and James both had their eye on the snitch and went straight after it. It seemed easier to find since there was no distracting crowd.
A bludgar was heading to one of the Slytherins. Trini flew towards it and whacked the bludger as hard as she could with the club.
The bludger went straight to Sirius. He ducked quickly and turned towards Trini. "You trying to kill me?" he asked through gritted teeth.
"Oops." Trini giggled.
"Pay attention!" one Slytherin yelled, flying past Trini.
Trini turned around and ducked just in time. The second bludger barely grazed her right shoulder. It didn't hurt, she was used to the injuries.
Lucius cursed under his breath when he lost sight of the snitch. James had lost it too. They were both on opposite sides of the field, looking around closely. Their eyes met and the two looked away in an instant.
Trini whacked another bludger in Sirius's direction. Sirius barely missed it. He didn't have any time to insult her since one of the chasers on the Gryffindor side was flying away from the second bludger.
One of the Slytherin chasers had the quaffle. It was an easy score for Slytherin since Trini had distracted both the keeper and Sirius. The score was 10 to 0, Slytherin.
Lucius was satisfied. At least they were ahead. But for how long?
Sirius had his club ready. He flew towards the bludger, which was flying towards him. He slammed his club into the bludger straight to Trini.
"Trini watch out!" Lucius yelled.
Trini turned around as quickly as she could. She saw the bludger flying to her. She was about to fly lower when something caught her eye. Something past the bludger. And this something seemed to be looking back at her!
There he was. Long dark blonde hair, lazily pulled back. Beautiful blue eyes matching that perfect skin. He was sitting in one of the stands alone. Trini could only make out a small figure, but she knew it was him. She was usually never like this around pretty guys, but something seemed to be luring her. She couldn't take her eyes off him.
"Christian." Trini whispered.
"Look out!" Lucius screamed, zooming down to Trini. He grabbed her by the waist and pulled her off her broom.
Trini gasped and shook her head. She looked back to where she was. Her broom was now in two pieces, falling down onto the Quidditch field. She looked back at the stands. They were empty.
Lucius sighed and hoisted Trini up onto his broom. "Are you crazy?!" he yelled, "Daydreaming during practice! You could have ended up in the hospital wing!"
Trini kept silent. Her gaze was now on Sirius and James, who were laughing their heads off.
But for once, their laughter didn't annoy her.
Trini took hold of Lucius's robes and allowed him to float her down onto the field. Even when their feet were firmly on the ground, she wouldn't let him go.
For now, Lucius would be Christian. Or at least, the closest to him.
(A.N: Aww! Yet, huh? I don't know. I really liked this chapter since Christian is one of my favorite creations. I know he's not the perfect man, all the girls just make him out to be. I really liked the Quidditch scene too! I think I made Trini soft, but I wanted to show a little of her weaknesses. It might be a few weeks until the next chapter. I haven't fully thought it out. Please review!)
