Forbidden Love
A/N: Hey, I hope the first chapter wasn't too confusing.I really am sorry if it was. Well on with the story!
Chapter 2 ~ Diagon Alley and Back to Hogwarts.
Serenity was able to get away from her parents and wander around on her own. She started humming a song she heard last year from a muggle born friend. Yes a Malfoy associated with muggle borns. The girl was a Ravenclaw her age and helped her with charms. They kept their friendship a secret to protect the girl from Serenity's father.
"Do you ever wonder why, this music gets you high, it takes you on a ride, feel it when your body starts to rock, and baby you can't stop, and the music's all you got, this must be pop."
"Wow. I never thought I'd see the day when a Malfoy sang muggle music." Came a cold voice from behind her.
"Nice to see you too James." She said turning around.
"You really are a rare breed of Malfoy. By the way, happy birthday." He said smugly.
"Fuck off Potter." She started to walk away.
He went up and grabbed her wrist, and turned her around.
"I was only kidding Serenity. Are you okay? You don't usually snap so quick."
"Why do you care Potter? I'm just a Malfoy to you! I'm not like my father. I want you to realize that."
"Serenity I realized that a long time ago." He whispered and walked away.
She was confused. James never acted civil towards her. He was always mean. Now he looked like he cared about her. He even called her by her name. Not Malfoy. Something was different. She walked back to Knockturn Alley to meet up with her parents.
~ ~ ~
James boarded the Hogwarts express with his siblings and his best friends. Somehow Halo, Austin, Nathan, Sirius, Emily, Angie, Megan, and him all fit in one compartment. The eight of them were inseparable. James saw a flash of black hair go past and he excused himself.
He was looking for her now. It was bad enough he couldn't stop thinking about her. She was a Malfoy and he was a Potter. They didn't mix. But he suddenly was finding that he really didn't care. When he found her he was relived to see she was alone. Her friends were probably snogging their boyfriends.
He heard her singing yet another muggle song and her voice was like an angel's
"I try but I can't seem to get myself, To think of anything but you, Your breath on my face, Your warm gentle kiss, I taste the truth, I taste the truth, We know what I came here for, So I won't ask for more,
I wanna be with you, If only for a night, To be the one whose in your arms, Who holds you tight, I wanna be with you, There's nothing more to say, There's nothing else I want more than to feel this way, I wanna be with you"
He slid open the compartment door and saw a tear roll down her cheek. As soon as she heard the door open she wiped it away. She looked up and saw him. The shock on her face was evident. James pulled the cover for the window down.
"Hey." He said.
"What are you doing here?" she asked cautiously.
"I came to see you." He said with a lopsided grin on his face.
"Why?"
"I just wanted to."
"Is this some sort of joke Potter?"
"No, I swear. Paranoid much?" he said and chuckled.
"If you live with my father you have to be." She mumbled.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to upset you."
"You didn't. I'm just glad to be back home."
"My father always considered this place home too."
"How can anyone not think of it as home?"
"True, where did you learn to sing like that?"
"My mother taught me. She sings better than I can."
"Hard to Believe."
"Why are you being so nice to me?"
"You wouldn't believe me, plus you'd freak."
"Try me."
"I have had a crush on you since 5th year."
"Say what!?"
"Nothing. I got to go."
"James wait."
James left quickly. He could not believe he told her that. 'STUPID STUPID!' He was saying to himself. He walked back to the gang's compartment. He spaced out after being back for about fifteen minutes.
Halo noticed something was up with her brother. He very rarely spaced out like that. She had an idea of why he was spacing out and decided to see. She excused herself and when tot find Serenity.
Halo knocked on the door, and went in. Serenity was lying on the cushions with a set of headphones on blasting C.K.Y.'s "Escape from Hellview"
Halo tapped her and she opened her eyes and jumped back.
"Whatever it was I didn't do it! I was dead at the time!" Serenity said rapidly.
Halo just laughed.
"I didn't accuse you of anything yet."
"What do you want?" Serenity was getting nervous. Did Halo know about James's crush on her?
"Has my brother come to see you?"
"Which answer won't get me killed."
"He's just been acting weird whenever someone mentions your name."
"oh, yeah he came in earlier."
"Thought so. He likes you doesn't he?"
"Uh, I have the right to remain silent?"
"He does. I can tell. It scares him how I know him."
"Don't tell the Weasley's. I'll get jumped by all 37 of them."
Halo cracked up at that statement.
"You really are okay for a Malfoy you know that. You are nothing like your father."
"I have to act like it though at school. Or he'll. . . never mind. You aren't so bad for a Potter either."
"Thanks. Do you like my brother though?"
"I honestly don't know. Now that he's being nice he seems cool but. . ."
"He's a Gryffindor and a Potter and you're a Slytherin and a Malfoy."
"Exactly."
"And all the years he's been picking on you. Trust me he was flirting."
"Why me?"
"Ask him that. I better get back. Oh and Serenity."
"Yeah?"
"This conversation never happened."
"All right." She laughed.
~~~~ Sorting and Feast ~~~
James's P.O.V.
Lily was sorted into Ravenclaw much to Me, Halo, and Sirius's Surprise. Kurt was sorted into Hufflepuff. Brandon was sorted into Gryffindor and Amelia was sorted into Slytherin just like everyone thought. And Serenity's little dark lord wannabe brother was sorted into Slytherin as well.
I can't help but stare at her. She's so beautiful, and different from what everyone thinks. I have a hunch Halo may be on to me but I don't care. If she tells mom or dad I'll tell them she lost her virginity to Micah over the summer holidays. I always have blackmail on her. I love being an older brother.
~ ~ ~
Serenity's P.O.V.
I think I may like James. I mean after all he is cool when he's nice. Plus he seems to care for me and no one has ever truly cared for me. Not even my parents. I see him staring at me again and Halo is trying not to laugh. She nudges him before the rest of the group notices him drooling over a Malfoy.
The feast is finally over. As I walk out into the hallway McGonagall beckons me over. I forgot to mention I was head girl. I see James come up by her. Oh, lord he's head boy. This ought to be interesting. He just grins at me. My father and his mother were head boy and girl in their year.
They almost burned down the head dorms that year. They got into a curse fest and some stuff caught on fire. They almost lost their head privileges. I thought it was funny. But my father obviously didn't. He threatened to leave me in the dungeons for a week if I did anything like that.
We were lead to a portrait with a prince and princess sitting on thrones. The princess on a silver throne and the prince on a gold throne.
"Your password is peace at last. I hope that is a signal that you all better get along this year. We do not want a repeat of what happened when your respective parents were head boy and girl." Professor McGonagall said sternly.
"Yes ma'am" we said.
When we went in it was beautiful. The place was decked out in gold and silver with some green andcrimson. I went to a door on the left that was a deep green. Sure enough it was my room with Serenity written on it in silver. James's was the same except red and gold. The bed was huge with a green crushed velvet comforter. I went to a door to the right in my bedroom.
It led to a bathroom. The tub could fit 10 people in it. The entire bathroom was god and silver. James came in from his room. Great we have to share a bathroom. This is gonna be fun. I briefly look at him before I walk back into my room and collapse on my bed. I open my eyes and James is standing over me.
I yelp in surprise.
"Why do you always scare the shit out of me!?" I yell
"Because it's fun." He said with that grin on his face.
"Get. Out. James." I growl.
"Chill. I was leaving anyway." He laughs
I roll my eyes. He is so cute when he's laughing. I shut my door on him and get changed for bed. This is going to be a very interesting year. I'll have to talk to Halo tomorrow. I think I may have anew friend in her. She seems to like me enough. After all she doesn't seem to mind James having a crush on me.
I lie down and fall into an uneasy sleep. Nightmares of the dark lord (Grandfather) invade my dreams. I think of James and all my nightmares vanish for the time being. I think I may like him more than I am letting myself think.
~~~TBC~~~
I hope you liked that chapter. More will be out soon.
Review please. I love reviews. And if you flame I will use them to warm my feet!
