On To Adventure

That Monday, I rushed about, packing all of my things into my trunk and getting Luna & Soleil into their cage. I had on my super low rise white jeans, and a yellow halter that bared my stomach. I put in my silver belly ring with a star shaped gem on one side and a silver ball at the top. I slipped on my white and yellow puma tennis shoes, and put my hair into a ponytail and tied a yellow ribbon onto the pony. I ran downstairs, and we got into the "car" that my parents transfigured. It used to be a carrot I think, the obnoxious orange color gave it away. We got to Kings Cross, and went to platform 9, when Alexei and I looked at our tickets.

"Uh, dad, it says platform 9 ¾ there's no such thing." I said, in a "duh" tone.

"Okay, what you do, is run at the barrier between platforms 9 & 10, and keep running till you reach the other side. I'll go first, and then Alexei, then mom, and Christiana will follow. Now pay close attention." He said, and walked to the barrier, and then disappeared. I blinked twice, and followed suit, and then by magic, there I was.

I spotted Father, talking to some man with red hair, and with this man and a woman and a boy and girl with the same red hair, and a boy with jet black hair, and a girl, who was holding hands with the red haired boy, had brown way too frizzy hair. I didn't like her already. Anyone who couldn't comb their hair or make it normal for that matter, irritated me. I then spotted 3 heads of platinum blonde hair, and rushed past the group and my father, and walked over, and smiling at the Malfoy family.

"Christiana! What a lovely surprise! How nice it is to see you." Narcissa said, giving me a light hug.

"It's nice to see you as well Mr. And Mrs. Malfoy." I said, shaking Mr. Malfoy's hand.

"Well, your parents told us that you and Draco became quite good friends on Friday night Miss Newark. So please do keep and eye on him, and don't let him get into too much trouble."

Mr. Malfoy said with a smirk, that looked positively evil, and then he quirked his eyebrows twice indicating he knew about me and Draco sleeping on the couch. I blushed furiously.

"I assure you father, I will stay out of trouble as long as Christiana keeps me company." He said, grasping my hand.

Meanwhile..

"Hey, who is that girl with the Malfoy's? I hope to god she isn't his sister. I couldn't stand another snobby bitch." Ron said quietly to Ginny, Harry and Hermione.

"Ron, if she was his sister, I don't think she would be holding his hand. Or that beautiful." Harry said, eyeing Christiana, hungrily.

"Harry, that's gross, she's a girl, and probably that exchange student Professor Dumbledore told us would be coming. Besides I'll be able to find out, Ferret boy is Head Boy after all." Hermione finished. At that point, the man standing and talking with Mr. And Mrs. Weasley turned.

"Ferret huh? I wonder, is he really a ferret?" The man joked.

"He was fourth year." Ron sniggered.

"Kids, this is Richard Newark, he just came here from America, he's an alumnus of Hogwarts, and a Gryffindor like you lot." Mr. Weasley said.

"America? What's it like there, I've heard it's fascinating!" Hermione said, and the boys grumbled. Leave it to her to talk about America.

"Well, my daughter could tell you better than I, she knew her way around Salem like the back of her hand. She's in seventh year like you. She hangs out with Draco Malfoy, I do daresay, those two are adorable." Mr. Newark said. The three looked at each other in horror. Their worst enemy was dating the daughter of one of Ron's father's closest friends.

Back on the Train.

The whistle for boarding blew, and I kissed my mother and father goodbye, and walked with Alexei to the train. He had apparently made friends with some other first years, and wanted to sit with them, so he went off, and I walked with Draco to an empty compartment. We sat down, and two burly boys came in, followed by another boy and 2 girls.

"Ah, Christiana, you can meet everyone. This is Gregory Goyle, and Vince Crabbe, Pansy Parkinson, my cousin Blaise Zambini and Pansy's boyfriend Ryan Martin. Everyone, this is Christiana Newark, she just came here from Salem Academy. She's in seventh year too." Draco said, and I smiled at everyone. The two burly boys grunted, and dug into their large sacks, rummaging around for food.

Pansy, I think that was what her name was, and Blaise came over, and moved Draco away to Ryan, and plopped down on either side of me. The blonde and blue eyed girl, was Pansy, and the girl with the dark Auburn hair and one blue eye and one green eye was Blaise. The three of us talked for about an hour when the announcement was made that we'd be arriving at Hogwarts was made, and I decided to go find a bathroom and change into my robes. I found a bathroom, and quickly did so, and walked back to the compartment. or so I thought it was our compartment.

I opened the door, and found the raven haired boy, the red heads, and the brunette from earlier sitting and laughing together.

"Whoops. Wrong compartment, I'm really smart." I said, walking back out, when I heard a "HEY!" come from inside. I poked my head back in there.

"You must be Mr. Newark's daughter.I'm Hermione Granger." The bushy haired brunette said with a smile.

"Yeah that's me. Christiana Newark." I smiled back, maybe she wasn't so bad. She could use a few hair charms, but she wasn't too bad.

"Well, this is Ginny Weasley, my boyfriend Ron Weasley, and of course, cannot forget, Harry Potter." Hermione said. My eyes widened,

"Whoa, The Harry Potter. Can I see your scar?" I asked, interested, and walked in, he nodded, and smiled flirtatiously, lifting up a bit of his hair, and I saw the famous lightning shaped scar.

"That is the tightest thing I've ever seen!" I said, and he grinned. I saw Ron roll his eyes, and laugh.

"Harry, please just put the scar away." Ron said, rolling his eyes with a sarcastic smile.

"Yeah Potter, put it away" I heard a voice say. I was about to tell off the person, but I snapped up, and saw Draco in the doorway, with his robes on. His tie was loose, and the top two buttons of his shirt were undone.

"Hey Drake. It was nice meeting y'all. See you at school." I said with a friendly wave. They smiled and waved back, and Draco led me back to the compartment, where Pansy and Ryan were going at it like animals on one bench, basically sucking each other's lips off. I rolled my eyes.

"Come on guys, I really don't need to see y'all swapping spit." I said, with another eye roll.

"You know, we could be doing the same. I mean we were close Friday." He said, lifting his eyebrows suggestively. I slugged him in the arm playfully.

"Not on your life honey." I said, and he sat down.

Noticing there was no other room, I sat down right on top of him, and he snaked his arms around my waist. I leaned my head onto his chest, and put my arms around his neck. I noticed a tattoo on his arm that I hadn't noticed before. It was an old English script M with a dragon curled around it, with "Draconis" in old English written underneath it.

"Good lord Draco did that hurt?!" I exclaimed.

"Not really. But I think it was worth the pain. Now why does this feel familiar?" He asked, sliding me closer to him.

"Uh because this happened on Friday." I said with a giggle. He smiled, and we stayed that way for the rest of the train ride to the school.

When we got there, I stood up, and grabbed Draco's hand, not wanting to get lost in the hubbub.

"Okay, stay with Blaise and Pansy, I have to go ride in the head's carriage. Do not leave them." He instructed, and Blaise and Pansy took me to their carriage. We got inside, and I pulled my wand out of my pocket, examining it closely for a little while when the girls finally spoke up.

"Okay 'Tiana, tell me. Do you like Draco, because the two of you were all over each other on the train, and holding hands off the train." Pansy inquired. I blushed.

"HA! I knew it. You have the hots for my cousin!" Blaise said, and the two giggled madly.

"So, how did it all start; because we have to know if we're going to get you two together." Pansy said, still giggling.

"Well, we met when I first came to England." And I told them the entire thing, from Knockturn Alley, to the kiss before he apparated. They sighed, and "awed" when it needed it. When we finally reached the school, the girls were formulating plans to get Draco and me together.

I was nervously sitting with Pansy and Blaise waiting to see how they would tell me what house I was supposed to go in. I hope to be with Draco and the girls, but I didn't know how I would finagle it. When Dumbledore explained my situation and I came up, a few of the guys in the hall whooped, and made obnoxious sounds when I got to the stool and the hat was placed on my head.

'Well, Miss Newark, where to put you?' The hat said to me.

'Well, Hi hat. I kind of want to be with Draco, I'm really crushing on him, and I've already mad so many friends in Slytherin, so can I go there pretty please? I'm a pure blood. I promise!' I spoke in my head to the hat.

'Well, yes, that's where you're going, anyway, you can be great.' "SLYTHERIN!" The hat bellowed, and the table applauded loudly, with a few boos from the Gryffindors. I just glared at them and sat down. Draco smiled and I waved. I saw Alexei come in the doors, and when he was getting sorted, I prayed he would be in Slytherin with me, but to my horror, the hat yelled,

"GRYFFINDOR!" and the table exploded over on the other side. My mouth dropped, and I was speechless. The look on Draco's face from the head table was quite funny, but I could tell he was mad. I sighed dejected, and picked at my food.

"Well, I'm screwed girls, my brother will be by himself. My parents will be happy for him." I said. But then I saw him being beckoned by Harry and Ron, and he took a seat between them, and he smiled at me giving me thumbs up. I smiled back, and Harry looked up. I mouthed a quick 'Thank you' and he grinned.

After Dinner, I followed Pansy and Blaise to the Slytherin dormitories, and they told me the password "Carpe Momentum", and we entered. It was a dark chilly room, with green leather couches and seats, with a large book case, and a huge fireplace, with a photo of a man who I assumed to be Salazar Slytherin, next to it. He waved, and I smiled nicely. There was a large black chandelier with candles on the ceiling, and 7 passages on the other side of the room. Pansy, Blaise and I took the one with an ornate '7' on the door, to the room I would be sharing with the two girls. The bedroom was amazing to say the least. There were three large Queen sized beds with canopies and dark velvet curtains, most likely to keep one warm in the cold dungeons, and fluffy pillows everywhere. Each bed had the girl's name inscribed on the wooden paneling. I flopped down, and immediately loved the softness of the bed. I quickly decided to change into pajamas, and get into bed. I slipped on a black lace nightgown over my black lace shorts. I went to the adjoined bathroom and washed my face, and brushed my teeth, and I let my hair out of the pony and brushed it. When I finished, I went back to the room and heard Blaise and Pansy snoring. I climbed into bed and fell asleep.

About 2 hours later I heard a light knock at the door, and opened It to a first year.

"Christiana right?" The child asked. I nodded.

"The head boy wants to see you for a minute." She said, and took off. I smiled and looked at my watch. Everyone should've been asleep. I decided to not put my robe on. I slipped on my black fuzzy slippers, and walked to the common room. I saw Draco standing there, in just a black wife-beater and black long pajama pants. His hair was in his face, and he had sheet marks on his arms. I walked over and placed a warm hand on his cool shoulder. "What did you need? I was sleeping." I said, rubbing one of my eyes.

"I just wanted to tell you, I'm sharing a common room with the other Prefects and the Head Girl. So if you need me, go to Salazar's portrait, and point your wand and say, "Message Draco." Then just wait, tell him the message, and he'll come get me." He said.

"Drake, you could've just told me this at breakfast tomorrow." I whispered.

"I know, but I didn't get to say goodnight." He whispered back.

"Well, good night Drakey-poo." I said, giving him a cute smile, and started to walk to my dorm.

He grabbed my arm.

"Wait." He said.

"What now?" I almost whined. "I'm tired." I said, as he pulled me back, and twirled me around to face him. We were so close.

"That wasn't a very good-." He cut me off with a kiss on the lips. I sighed, and kissed him back, wrapping my arms around his neck, as he pulled me even closer. I pulled away slightly, only enough to smile against his lips.

"Good night Draco." I breathed. He smiled back.

"Good night Angel." He said, kissing me lightly, and pulling away, and he disappeared through Salazar's portrait. I immediately put two of my fingers to my lips, instantly wanting another kiss. I smiled, biting my lower lip, and almost floated back to my dorm, my lips burned with electric fire. I crawled into the covers, and fell asleep easily with Draco dancing around inside my head.
