Just when they all had a nice pleasant conversation going, a bunch of people walked in. In the lead was a very hot blonde haired boy, with blue eyes. With him were two very large, and very slow looking boys. A girl was also with them, she looked somewhat like a pug, and had two other girls with her.
"Ladies and gentlemen, may I introduce Draco Malfoy, his goons Crabbe and Goyle, his pet Pansy, and her two goons, Melissa, and Chenae." Ron said.
Ginny, Hermione, and Harry all started laughing their guts out, rolling around on the floor. Claire grinned, but introduced herself politely to the newcomers.
"Hi. I'm Claire Almer." She said.
"Hello. I like the look of you. Are you new?" asked Pansy. Draco, Crabbe and Goyle were staring at Claire too. This was making her very uncomfortable.
"Okay, can you all stop staring at me?! I've had enough of it today!" she said, exasperated.
"I really like you. I like that attitude." Pansy said again. Malfoy's eyes had widened. He struggled to regain his composure.
"Are you Mudblood or Pureblood?" He demanded.
"I'm Pureblood. Is that okay with you, General?" she asked mockingly.
"And don't say Mudblood. I hate that word." She told him with her eyebrows raised.
"You go girl!" said Pansy. "I'll see you at Hogwarts. I hope you get in Slytherin"
Draco smirked, then left. Hermione and Ginny looked at her, smiling their praise.
Ron and Harry sat up, wide eyed, looking at her.
"Wow." Said Ron. "That was bloody brilliant!"
"I'm just glad you're talking to me and not staring at me anymore." Claire replied.
The train was slowing down, as it came to the station in Hogsmeade. Everyone got out, and Claire was swept into the crowds, losing Harry, Ron, Hermione and Ginny. She climbed into a carriage, wanting to get out of the rain that had started on the way there.
She saw that Pansy, Malfoy, Crabbe and Goyle were already in the carriage.
"Mind if I join you?" she asked.
"Of course not!" Pansy said before Draco could object.
Claire took a seat between the two of them, and started talking to Pansy, turning her back on Draco, although she could feel his eyes boring into her. Not that she minded the attention from this very hot boy.
"I meant what I said." Pansy was saying. "I hope you get in Slytherin."
"So do I" Claire and Draco thought.
The carriages had now arrived at the castle, and Claire breathed her appreciation. She got out of the carriage.
"Thanks for letting me ride to the castle with you!" she told them all, smiling. Pansy smiled back at her, and Draco just nodded, although inside he was reeling from that beautiful smile.
