Chapter 2

A few weeks had past since the feast. Desiree had settled into the school easily and the other houses seemed to have turned a blind eye to the fact that she was a hated Slytherin and many had gained enough courage to try and strike up a conversation with her or ask her on a date, though she never showed any too much interest in either she was always careful not to make them angry with her, who knows, they might be good alliances one day.

It was a sunny Thursday afternoon and the seventh year Gryffindors and Slytherins had been given the period off. Many of the Gryffindors had taken the opportunity to study ( it still amused Desiree how desperately the other houses tried to please their teachers) whilst the Slytherins basked in the gloriously warm sunlight by the lake. The lush green grass was littered with Slytherins and the occasional group of Gryffindors cowering, though they wuold never admit it, for fear that a Slytherin who was feeling particularly nasty today would decide to play a prank on one of them.

Desiree was lying on her back enjoying the warmth of sunlight on her face when she felt a shadow engulf her body. She lazily opened her eyes and gazed at the gorgious Draco Malfoy who had so rudely blocked her sunlight. She smiled up at him, took his and and pulled him onto the ground next to her.

"Where have you been?" she asked playfully

"That's none of your business" he replied with a cheekyness in his voice. This was a side of Draco only reserved for Desiree, and no one else. Something behind Desiree caught Draco's eye and he began to smirk. Desiree began to turn around to see what he was looking at when he ever so gentle grabbed her chin and made her look at him."Dont look, Potty and Weasel are coming over here," he let go of her chin, much to Desriee's dismay "I want you to be nice to them, friendly even, especially to Potty, ok?" he winked at her and she knew he had formulated a plan and that he would tell her later, she trusted him.

"Ok" she whispered a reply.

"H-h-h-h-hi Desiree" said Ron with a dopy grin on his face.

"Hi!" Desiree replied sounding very happy to see the duo, even tho she felt as though she was going to be sick. "How are you two?" she said, smiling at Harry.

"We're good," replied Harry as he turned a bright shade of red. "We just wanted to say hi and welcome you to Hogwarts seeing as we have been too busy to do it since the beginning of the semester." Harry sounded rather flustered and shocked that Desiree was actually talking to them.

"Why thank you, that's really nice, hop to see you around then," Desiree was wishing desperately that they would go away so she could stop pretending to like them.

"Oh, ok" said Ron, taking it as their que to leave "see ya!"

"Bye" said Desiree her voice almost dripping with venom.

As soon as the two naive boys were out of ear shot Draco began to laugh like there was no tomorrow. "Did you see their faces!!!" He started rolling around on the ground, Desiree started playfully hitting him and tickling him.

"Never, ever do that to me again!" She couldn't help herself and started laughing too. After what seemed like and eternity of laughing and tickling each other they began to calm down. By now most of the people had gone back into the castle, and as soon as no one was near enought to hear them Draco told Desiree his plan.

"Desiree, I need you to get as close to the wonder trio as possible, Hermione included. I want them to think you're their best friend, they need to trust you with their lives." He said, his voice totally serious. Desiree nodded slowly, it was all starting to become a reality.
