Chapter 2: Train Journeys and Awkward Conversation.
They walked to the arch in between platform nine and platform ten, to be greeted by Ron and Hermione. Hermione first noticed Harry's new girlfriend, and more importantly, she noticed his hand on her arm, and she couldn't help but feel a little jealous.
"Ron, 'Mione, this is my girlfriend, Corazón." Corra smiled at them both but remained within the gentle grip of Harry's arm.
"So, where are you from, Corazón?" Ron asked politely, noticing that she didn't look particularly English; the tan, the weird name.
"Well my father is American and my mother is Italian, and please, call me Corra. I think Corazón is far too formal and it doesn't blend in so well." Her accent was American, but it still had a European feel to it.
"How long have you two been dating, Harry?" Hermione questioned.
"Well, five or six months now, I guess." Corra nodded in agreement to what Harry had just said. Hermione felt a little hurt that Harry had all the time between March and July to tell them about Corra, but he didn't. Hermione wanted to know why Harry had kept her a secret until now.
"Err well, Corra, I suppose you know Italian?" Ron asked stupidly, and Corra looked at him as if he were a giant sweaty foot but then her expression softened and she said,
"Of course, I attended school in Rome, but my mother's family have always lived in Venice." She looked at Hermione who seemed fascinated at Corra's story and she was a little scared of Hermione's eagerness. Harry looked down at Corra and smiled encouragingly.
They all looked at the station clock which said 11:55. They silently made their way through the barrier and Corra decided not to say anything about the strange ritual of going through the brick-work arch, but she had definitely seen weirder things before.
1:47 PM
Draco Malfoy gazed around the train carriage nervously. It was empty, not even Crabbe or Goyle had dared to enter and invade Draco's personal space. Al Draco could think about was that utter freak, Potter. They'd had a 'thing' the previous term. It was nothing really, quite a few sloppy kisses, a couple of hand jobs and a blow job or two, Nothing to write home about or even talk about to friends. But when Draco had seen Harry arrive at the train station with that girl, Draco felt hurt and used. The girl also disturbed him slightly and Draco wasn't quite sure why.
He would have to talk to Harry again when they arrived at Hogwarts, and ask about the girl who was with him. Draco could tell, even from a distance, that the girl was beautiful. The long dark hair, the amazing tanned skin and it was plainly obvious that she wasn't from around here.
Suddenly, the door burst open and Potter was walking in with the foreign girl, the Weasley boy and the Mudblood: Hermione.
"Corra, beware of this one. Nasty piece of work." Ron pointed at Draco and he felt even more hurt that Harry didn't defend him. Draco couldn't come up with a good comeback to what Weasley had just said, he just sat there, astounded.
Harry and his friends made their way out of Draco's empty train carriage and proceeded along the rest of the Hogwarts Express, giving Corra a tour.
Draco was going to get Harry back.
Even if he had to kill to get him.
