The sorting began and Hermione continued to make glances at Malfoy. Once, he caught her eye, smirked and raised his eyebrows in a questioning manner. The sorting ended and there was silence as everyone waited for Dumbledore's opening speech, but before any sound came out from his half open mouth the doors slammed open.
Standing in the doorway was a girl. She was the new girl.
As she walked down towards the hall hands turned to watch her. Her skirt was extremely short but showed off her long pale legs. She wore her school jumper very tight and the heels on her shoes made her shorter than only one person in the school. Malfoy.
Her brown hair fell below her shoulders and her piercing green eyes were outlined in black kohl and stared straight ahead as if there was no-one else in the room.
Hermione looked across to Harry and Ron. They were sitting like goldfish with their mouths slightly and when she looked at Malfoy for what must have been the thirtieth time that minute even he looked affected by her beauty.
Dumbledore smiled at her and when she smiled back she showed her perfect straight, white teeth.
"Students" he said "This is Georgina Lincoln; she will be joining the Sixth year. Georgina" he said turning to her with a smile " if you would sit on the stool and place the sorting hat on your head" she sat on the stool and crossed her left leg over her right revealing even more pale skin.
"Slytherin!" the hat screamed and Georgina cocked an eyebrow. She slinked towards the Slytherin table and took a place next to Malfoy, Crabbe looked disgruntled that she had taken his place but also amazed that he was sitting next to her.
Hermione looked disgruntled and pulled at a curl that had fallen in front of her eyes. She could never have Malfoy with competition like that and she snapped at Harry and Ron to close their mouths and began to serve herself some dinner as the dishes before her magically filled.
"Soooo…" started Malfoy pursing his lips.
"Don't talk" Georgina replied "I need to talk to you but not now"
Malfoy was amazed to her that she had a perfect English rose accent but insulted at her attempt to tell him what to do which no one had done in years. Some second years who heard the comment gasped but after a look from Draco they looked away.
"Do you know who I am?" he hissed at Georgina who was serving herself some pasta.
"I know exactly who you are Draco Malfoy and like I said ill talk to you later"
He turned away from her but not help taking looks at her from the corner of his eye. She was the first girl in three years who hadn't fallen at his feet and the first girl in three years who he wanted to. When dinner was over Malfoy looked across the hall and saw that Granger was looking at him again. He smiled and felt another gaze on him. He turned around and found him self inches away from Georgina Lincoln. He studied her face. He smoky eye make up made her eyes even more striking, playful and her skin was flawless. She leaned forward and lightly kissed him on the end of his nose.
"Hello darling" she said mocking him, swung her legs out from under the table and was walking towards the doors when she felt two strong arms grab her from behind.
