The next couple of days were horrid. Draco ignored her so she ignored
him. She got a lot of dirty looks from the girls who were all over him the
first day and so that made her days even worse. She did, however, make some
friends. Mainly boys who were lovesick for her but they were okay
entertainment. Every now and then in a classroom she could see Draco
looking at her. She tried to ignore it but failed one day and looked back.
It was at dinner when a beautiful goshawk came flying in and landed in front of her. She knew it from Alex's house. It was his favored bird, which he called Faden.
"Hello Faden." She said and took the letter. The bird flew off.
Mogget,
How has your first few days of Hogwarts been? Hopefully you have made some new friends. No doubt boys. I heard you have a Hogsmeade trip this Saturday. Here's some money for you to buy things. Did you like your present? Well, I have to go. Important business I have to do.
Love,
Alex
"Another letter from Alex?" Came Draco's voice from across the table. Emily looked up and glared.
"I don't know how I ever liked you. You're a jackass!" she cried and left the table after grabbing the small bag of money that Faden brought her along with the letter.
"Emily!" Draco yelled but she kept on walking.
She was so angry with Draco that she ran right into someone in the empty hall. She fell back and landed on her butt. Her bag of coins spilled and she quickly put them back in and stood.
"I'm so very sorry." The man in front of her said. "I was just looking for the Great Hall." He was very tall with light brown hair and olive green eyes. He was quite handsome, but had to be at least twice her age.
"No, it was my fault. I wasn't watching were I was going. The Great Hall is through those doors. Enjoy." She said without enthusiasm.
The man didn't move. He studied Emily and she noticed a certain glint in his eyes. It looked red to her but she couldn't tell for the setting sun was in her eyes.
"Who are you? A student no doubt." The man asked.
"Oh! Emily West, sir. Are you the new DADA teacher?"
"Yes, my name is Lucas Magner. You're a West? Do you happen to be related to an Alex West?"
"Yes, he's my cousin."
"Good! Next time you see him tell him I said hello, wont you?"
"Sure." Emily walked past the strange new teacher and felt his eyes on her all the way down the hall. He had given her the creeps. She swore she saw a red glint in those deep green eyes of his.
Saturday came and Emily dreaded it. She had no one to go to Hogsmeade with. She heard Draco was going with some girl named Pansy Parkinson. She must have been the girl that was practically in his lap.
She ended up sharing a carriage with two boys and a girl. One boy's hair was really red and the others were black. The girl's was bushy brown. The introduced themselves as Ron Weasely, Harry Potter, and Hermoine Granger.
"So you're in Slytherin?" Hermoine asked.
"Yeah, and it sucks. I like the colors though."
"Whom are you walking with at Hogsmeade?" the boy named Harry asked.
"No one really. Maybe if Draco wasn't being such a jackass I would be with him."
"Malfoy?!? Well, you should expect that. He's a real git." Ron said nodding his head.
"He was so sweet at first though. Okay, I'll shut up." She said after seeing Harry roll his eyes. The three friends invited Emily to walk around with them and she was happy for the first time in a couple of days.
They were all drinking butterbeers in the Three Broomsticks when Draco and his two goons, Crabbe and Goyle, came in. They took a seat next to Emily's table.
"What do we have here? One of my own Slytherins fraternizing with Gryffindors?" He said in a snotty voice. "Why hello Potty, Weasel, and Mudblood."
"Go eat a sock, Malfoy." Harry said.
"I'd rather not."
"I have to go. Bye you guys." Emily said all of the sudden and left.
"Hey, wait!" Draco called after her once she was out of the Three Broomsticks. She whirled around.
"What do you want?"
"This." He took her in his arms and kissed her deeply.
