Disclaimer: Everything is J.K Rowling's. I own nothing, expect my plot and Discordia.
This is my first FanFic ever so, bear with me.

* Craquant = cute, handsome, irresistible

I'm going to stop with the French pronounciation business. Just imagine Discordia not being able to say the 'h's and pronouncing some 'i's as 'ee' and some 'th's as 'ff' or 'zz'

Chapter 4 - Craquant

"Discordia, these are my two best friends Esther and Shauna." Said Ginny as they entered the girl dorms. Two girls stood up, one, Esther, was very tall, had short black hair and was smiling pleasantly, the other, Shauna, who was a little shorter than Ginny seemed a little shy but smiled nevertheless.

"Hi Discordia, I didn't quite catch your last name when Dumbledore ..." Esther began.

"Malfoy." interrupted Discordia, rolling her eyes.

"I beg your pardon?"

"My name; Eet's Discordia Malfoy. And yes, I am related to Draco, I'm his cousin. Uncle Lucius is my father's identical twin."

Ginny looked at her two roommates, hoping they wouldn't react too badly. Esther's smile had faded a little and Shauna was shade paler.

"So, where do I get to sleep?" said Discordia.

Ginny indicated the bed next to hers. The only other was the one next to Shauna.

"Perfect." She voiced, sitting down on the bed that was to be hers. She placed her bag next to her and began unpacking. The others just stared uncomfortably.

"Any questions for the new girl?" She asked, expecting them to ask about France and Beauxbatons.

When nobody said anything she added,

"I'm not a Death Eater, you know? I won't kill you during you sleep or anything. And I am not a muggle-hater."
Ginny smiled lightly and came to sit next to Discordia. She knew what she felt. After the Chamber of Secrets episode, it had taken quite sometime before people had trusted her, and even longer until she had made friends. And even her best friends, Esther and Shauna weren't that close, she knew.
"You are very different from all the other Malfoys I know then. Did you have to spend all summer with that brat?"

"All of August. It wasn't all that bad though. Draco's family is very wealthy and they have a lot of land. I went horse riding in their forest, swimming in their lake and Draco thought me how to fly. He even let me try his new Firebolt 1000. Only for an hour though."

She grinned as the two other girls joined them and sat next to Ginny.

Esther seemed to have gotten over the fact that she would be sleeping in the same room as a Malfoy and was her own gossipy self again.

"So, hmmm... Discordia? Is Malfoy ... Draco all that bad?"

"Actually, he is." said Discordia, a twinkle in her eye.

"Oh..." said Esther, a little disappointed.

"Nahhh. Was just a joke. He's quite okay, really, once you get to know him. Why d'you ask?"

"Oh, for nothing..." Esther lied, blushing furiously.

Discordia winked knowingly.

"C'est vrai qu'il est craquant. (Well I guess he is quite handsome...) If I weren't his cousin, I guess I might fall for him too."

"I don't believe he is, was or will ever be okay. And he's not all that good looking anyway" said Ginny, trying to convince herself more than anything.

"Oh, Gin. How can you say that? He's got to be the best looking Slytherin." replied Shauna who had just spoken for the first time. Involuntarily as it seemed; she was now as red as Esther and had brought her hand to her mouth.

"Well I think he's just pure evil, like his father." countered Ginny.

"Well you wouldn't say that if you saw him playing with Eris." said a giggling Discordia.

//Eris?!// Draco had the reputation of having been with many girls but Ginny had never heard of this person. //Playing?// Ginny suddenly felt a little sick. She gave the French girl a puzzled look.

"Eris, his kitten, his pet cat. Uncle Lucius bought her at Diagon Alley a few weeks ago. I helped him name her. Eris is my middle name. She's really cute, a ball of fur really. She's that big ", She said holding out two fingers to show how small Eris was, "has white fur and such a cute little pink nose. And her eyes, they look exactly like mine and Draco's. You should see them together, Draco and Eris, ils sont trop mignons, they're so cute..."

Somehow, Ginny couldn't picture Malfoy being "cute". //She is wrong, she must be. The Draco I know is evil, he must be. Besides, he hates animals.//

"... Wait, I can show you. I filmed them with my digital cam."

The three other girls just stared at her as though she were mad. // A digital camera? Filming? //

"Do you'll know nothing of the muggle world? I have a charmed digital camera ... A device ... That allows you to capture images, life sequences." She gave out a frustrated sigh, not finding the right words to describe the object. She searched her bag and took out what looked like a metallic box. She pressed a couple of buttons and showed the other girls. The screen was tiny and all Ginny could see was a dark figure moving.

"Just a sec..." said Discordia as she took her wand out of her pocket. She waved it and said a spell none of the others had ever heard of. Suddenly, the box thing shook and started floating... The whole room seemed to dim and they were soon surrounded by darkness.
And then she, Ginny, was in a large bedroom. Well, not exactly, she could still feel the bed under her. She wasn't physically, if at all, in the room.
The white walls were covered with tapestries, Quidditch posters and green banners: Slytherin banners.

" Come back here you little rascal, you" said a low, masculine voice playfully.

"I'm coming to get you ..."

A tiny kitten suddenly ran into the room, almost running into a large, antique looking desk. She stopped just in time. Malfoy came running after her, a hand behind his back. Eris crouched, looking as though she could take on Malfoy who was at least twenty times her size. He came to her, knelt and stroked her gently on the head. Eris rolled over playfully and yawned.

"You act all tired, but wait till you see what I've got ..."

And with that he revealed what his hidden hand had been holding: a paper tissue bird like thing tied to a string. He held one end of the string and waved the toy around. Eris's pupils grew larger and in an instant she had pinned the bird to the ground and was biting at it. He lifted the toy which magically 'healed' and Eris followed. They continued playing for a few minutes, the amused grin never leaving Draco's face. His hands were full of scratches but he didn't seem to care. Once the 'bird' was broken beyond repair, he picked up the now exhausted Eris and placed her on his bed. He then sat down next to her and began to pet her. She curled up on his lap and began to purr. Eris looked exactly like what Discordia had said. But Ginny wasn't looking as much at the kitten as she was studying Draco. He was wearing black silk pyjamas and his hair was down. She had never seen him this happy before. He lowered his head and placed a kiss upon Eris's forehead. Ginny suddenly felt herself wishing she were in the kitten's place.

"I don't know what I'd do without you ..." He whispered.

And then it was gone. The room, everything, was now darkness. Suddenly, she was in the dorms again.

//No, I don't want it to be over...//

She looked at Discordia demandingly.

"Sorry, battery went out, that was all I got to film." she said, shrugging.
