A/N: Hey! This is my first fanfic so please don't be too hard on me with your reviews. Oh, and BTW, I'm American so forgive me if my use of British slang isn't perfect, I'm working on it. Thanks for taking time to read my story and please R/R!!

Disclaimer: Unfortunately, I don't own any of these characters. They all belong to the wonderful J.K. Rowling.

There she was, Narcissa Williams, standing quietly with all the other 7th year students waiting to board the Hogwarts Express for the journey to the school of Witchcraft and Wizardry for their very much anticipated last year. The summer was all too brutal for Lucius Malfoy, who had longed to see Narcissa since the moment he arrived home for his summer vacation.

I will, Lucius thought to himself as he stared at the beautiful young woman in front of him, tell her how I feel about her. This year will be different. No more hiding in the shadows of the Slytherin common room waiting to get a glimpse of her as she passes late at night after she returns from her long study sessions in the library. No more "accidentally" dropping things in front of her to make her notice me. No, this year I will."Lucius!", came a voice from behind him, interrupting his deep thought. It was his mother. "Yes, Mother", he said absentmindedly, still staring at the beautiful Narcissa, who's long blonde hair was flowing behind her as she walked. "Lucius, I just wanted to say goodbye and have a nice year."

"Goodbye, Mother. I'll see you soon," Lucius said as he walked toward the train with growing anticipation of the year to come. He smiled to himself as he turned his plan to approach Narcissa over and over in his mind. It truly was an excellent plan.

Lucius boarded the train and went to search for an empty compartment so he could sit and wait for his best friend, Severus Snape to arrive. A few minutes later Severus came strolling into the compartment with an infuriated look on his pale face.

"What's wrong with you?" Lucius asked questioningly.

"I've just had a run-in with Potter, Black, Lupin, and Pettigrew." Severus said maliciously. "God, I hate them!"

Lucius grimaced at the thought of them. "Who doesn't?" He asked. "Famous Gryffindor Seeker Potter and his band of idiotic friends. And that stupid girlfriend of his, Lily Evans, the filthy mudblood." Lucius scoffed.

"Well apparently," Snape continued, "everyone but the Slytherins think that he's just the greatest thing in the world. I bet it's only because he's been the champion of the Gryffindor Quidditch team for the past six years." Severus said with a hint of jealously that Lucius had heard too many times while Severus was rambling on about how much he hated Potter. Lucius knew that Severus secretly had a crush on that mudblood girlfriend of James' and couldn't even begin to fathom how his good friend could ever like that.

"Do you still like Narcissa?" Severus asked.

Lucius looked up at him and smiled. "Of course I do, Severus. In fact, over the summer holiday I devised a brilliant plan to make Narcissa Williams mine." Lucius said with a glint in his bright gray eyes.

"Well, lets hear it then." Severus said with a smile as he closed the door to the compartment so that the two could be alone.

Meanwhile, out in the corridor, Narcissa and her friend Jackie were looking for a compartment for themselves.

"All of these are full, Narcissa." Commented Narcissa's friend Jackie as they walked through the narrow corridor of the train. "Maybe we could find Lucius's compartment." She said in a mocking tone.

"Shut up, will you!" Narcissa snapped at her. "Someone could overhear you!"

Jackie puts her ear up to a door and listens. "Doesn't sound like there's anyone in here."

Jackie opens the door and walks into the compartment, followed by Narcissa. Lucius and Severus look up at them surprised. Narcissa turns red upon seeing Lucius.

"Oh, I'm so sorry! We didn't know you were in here!" Jackie cried.

"That's okay," said Severus. "We weren't doing anything important." He said and smirked at Lucius, who was just as red as Narcissa.

"We were just looking for an empty compartment." Narcissa stated. "We'll leave you two alone now."

"Oh, nonsense. There are only two of us in here. We can all share if you two don't care." Said Severus.

"Why not?" Said Jackie. "Is that okay with you Narcissa?"

"I guess it's okay if Lucius doesn't mind." Narcissa stated.

"No, I don't mind. It's perfectly fine with me." Said Lucius, who was still blushing furiously at the sight of Narcissa.

"Great!" Said Severus and Jackie in unison, as they walked over to the side of the compartment opposite of Lucius, which forced Narcissa to sit beside Lucius.

All of a sudden, the train started moving and Narcissa fell forward landing in Lucius's lap with a soft gasp.

"I'm so sorry," Narcissa said as she tried to regain her balance.

"It's okay," said Lucius, as she sat down beside him.

The train started moving faster and faster north toward Hogwarts. No one spoke, and the silence was more than Jackie could bear, being the talkative person that she was.

"So," said Severus, breaking the awkward silence between the four, "How was everyone's summer?"

Jackie jumped at this question straight away. "Well, Narcissa and I spent most of our summer together on vacation in France."

"How was it there?" Severus asked.

"Oh, it is the most beautiful country in the world," exclaimed Jackie. "You really should visit there some time."

They talked for a while, but eventually the conversation fell flat and they all decided to read for the rest of the train ride. Narcissa took out her favorite book, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, and began reading.

Lucius stared out the small window of the train and watched the seemingly endless fields go by in a blur. Occasionally, he glanced over at Narcissa, who seemed very into her book. Oh, how he hated that book. He glanced over at Severus, who gave him a smirk and a thumbs up. Lucius scoffed at his friend's immaturity and went back to looking out the window. All of a sudden, they heard a loud banging at the compartment door and James Potter emerged with his moronic friends and his mudblood girlfriend.

"What do you want Potter?" Lucius questioned with a look of pure malice in his eye.

"Ooooh, look guys", exclaimed Sirius. "Looks like Lucius has found himself a girlfriend. And she's just as evil as he is!"

"Shove off Sirius, you slimy git", Lucius barked. "Go wash your hair you dirtbag."

James chuckled. "Oh, yes Lucius, you really should be talking with that slimeball for a best friend you've got yourself there."

"Go to hell Potter, and take your filthy mudblooded girlfriend there with you. You're a disgrace to purebloods everywhere." Lucius snapped.

"That's it Malfoy! No one insults my girlfriend and gets away with it!" James screamed and he lunged at Lucius.

"Expelliarmus!" shouted Narcissa, who had her wand out and was pointing it at James.

James flew back and hit the door opposite them. Sirius, Lily, Remus and Peter all went running to see if James was okay.

"I wonder what that was all about?" Jackie asked, confused as to why they came into their compartment in the first place.

"I dunno." Severus replied.

"Thanks, Narcissa", said Lucius, who then turned to Severus and Jackie who were staring open mouthed at Narcissa, who was known for being an adamant pacifist.

"No problem. That stupid git gets on my nerves so much", Narcissa responded as she looked at her watch and realized that they were awfully close to school and they were not even in their school robes yet. "We all better change into our school robes. We're almost there." She said.

After they were all in their Hogwarts robes, Severus opened the window and peered out as the train started to slow. "It's still raining." He said frustrated, as he hated the rain.

The train slowed to a stop in front of the school and everyone disembarked through the horrible weather to the Great Hall, where they would be holding the Sorting Ceremony and the Feast.

Luckily for Lucius, his and James's paths did not cross again, but as they neared the Great Hall, he and Severus saw James and Sirius telling a very animated story to a group of Gryffindor students. Obviously, they were talking about what had happened on the train, because as Lucius and Severus passed, the Gryffindors gave them a very hateful look. James obviously had lied about his "bravery" through the whole ordeal and also had so conveniently forgotten to mention the fact that he, and not Lucius, was hit by the spell cast by Narcissa.

"I'll kill that bastard," Lucius said angrily.

"Don't worry about him, Lucius," Severus mumbled. "He's not worth it."

"I guess you're right," Lucius replied.

They entered the Great Hall and walked silently to the Slytherin table, sat down and waited for Dumbledore, the Headmaster, who Lucius loathed, to come in and make his yearly speech and get on with the Sorting.

A few moments later, in strode Dumbledore. He welcomed the new first year students and smiled reassuringly at the scared new students. He made his yearly speech and the Sorting proceeded.

After it was all over, and the new students were sitting at the tables of their newly appointed houses, the feast began.

"So." Said Severus quietly to Lucius, so as no one could hear their conversation.

"So what?" Questioned Lucius, raising an eyebrow at his friend.

"Did you see how Narcissa was staring at you the entire time we were on the train?" Severus asked.

"No, I wasn't really paying that much attention to what she was doing. I thought she was reading that book of hers." Lucius responded.

"Well she was, but every couple of minutes she kept looking over at you. I think she might have a thing for you Lucius."

"Right, Narcissa Williams has a thing for me." Lucius scoffed. "I'm Lucius Malfoy, probably the most hated wizard in the school."

"Well I thought you wanted her to like you. You should be just a little more exited about this."

"I do want her to like me, but.well, I."

"Why, Lucius Malfoy," Severus laughed, "It looks to me as if you are worried, I daresay. And about a girl, no less."

"I'm not worried!" Lucius exclaimed. "I just really like her and I, well, I want her to like me too."

"Lucius," said Severus reassuringly, "You have absolutely nothing to worry about. You come from one of the richest and most prestigious wizarding families in the world."

"So what? That's not why she should like me. If she were to like me, I would want her to like me because of the person I am, and not because of the family I come from."

"Hmm, well I still think you have nothing to worry about." Severus said.

After the feast, Severus and Lucius went down to the Slytherin Common Room and sat on rather large leather couch in front of the fireplace and talked over Lucius's plan some more. They sat there for almost two hours, and when they we're done, they had realized that the Common Room was empty, as all of the other students had already gone to bed.

"Well, I guess we should go to bed now, then, huh?" Asked Lucius. "Tomorrow's the first day and we have.ah, Divination." He said, looking down at his schedule.

"Oh, great, my favorite class." Severus mumbled sarcastically as they walked up the stairs to their bedroom.

It took Lucius a while to get to sleep because he had a lot of things on his mind, such as Narcissa, his plan, that asshole Potter, and of course the following day and Divination, his least favorite class. He finally fell into an unrestful sleep and awaited the next day, when he could see Narcissa again.
