Disclaimer: I own only the plot and 1 character.
Everyone, please bear with me, the first chapters are a bit slow. I promise
it will get better.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Everyone was shocked, well, almost everyone, the gryffindors were sure they were going to get her in their house, the ravenclaws couldn't believe that a girl from Spain was going to Hogwarts, the hufflepuffs didn't know what to think, they were surprised for the same reason as the ravenclaws, and finally the slytherins didn't care much about her, she was just another girl sorted into slytherin. Well, at least some slytherins thought that, most of the males in slytherin thought the same as Harry and Ron had thought earlier. She was beautiful to them, in fact to most of the males in the school. After the sorting hat called out "SLYTHERIN" Elena went over to the edge of the slytherin table. She sat there and kept quiet while the sorting contined. After the sorting the feast began, the food appeared and the plates of most students (and their mouths) were full of food. Except for Elena, everyone else ate. Elena only had a glass of pumpkin juice. She was sitting there drinking her pumpkin juice when a slytherin she did not know went up to her, he introduced himself "Hello, my name is Draco Malfoy, you're Elena, right?" "Yes, I am, nice to meet you, Draco." replied Elena. She thought he was very good-looking, but she didn't want to get her hopes up, nobody ever went for the new girl. She thought he was talking to her because of a dare.
"Likewise, where did you used to go to school?" Draco asked. "Montesclaros School for Witches, it's in Spain." responded Elena. "Really? that's great. I don't mean to interfere in your personal life, but are you going out with anyone?" "Why?" asked Elena. "You just look so beautiful and I thought that maybe we could, you know, go out some time." replied Draco. "Draco, you seem like a really nice guy, but that's the problem, I don't know you, you seem really nice, but how do I know you're actually nice?" Elena asked, trying to sound as nice as possible. "You can trust me, I mean if you got to know me, let's sit together at lunch every day, then you'll get to know me." "Sure, we can do that." smiled Elena, courtiously.
Meanwhile at the gryffindor table Harry was staring at Elena and Draco, talking. Ron was talking to Hermione, because, after all, she was his girlfriend and he was in love with her, but he occasionally glanced over at Elena in the slytherin table, and couldn't help but feel jealous of Draco. Harry was so angry that he was almost choking on a pice of chicken. Harry started coughing, then Hermione muttered a spell and the piece of chicken disappeared. "Watch what you're doing!" said Hermione, handing Harry a glass of pumpkin juice. "I'm sorry, it's just that-" started Harry, "-that you're as surprised as we are that Elena didn't make it into gryffindor, let alone she was put in slytherin" ended Hermione. "Well, yes, I mean, she seems so nice and, well, I thought all slytherins were jerks. And now look at her, she's talking to Malfoy, I wonder what that ass-hole will do to her now" said Harry. "Oh well, I guess we'll get to talk to her in classes and when we're walking to classes. She does seem really nice, and if she goes out with Malfoy, I'll, I'll.." Ron was cut short by Hermione, "You'll what?" "I'll be really, really angry, because she deserves someone better like me." "WHAT?!" yelled Hermione so loud that the whole table heard her. "Errr, yea! Like me best friend, Harry! You never let me finish talking, you always interrupt me, and so rudely." responded Ron, at first nervously but then sternly. "You know what, I'm going to go to the other end of the table to eat, I don't want to hear anything else about that Elena girl." Hermione said, angrier than she had been that whole night. After Hermone left, Harry was left to talk to Ron alone "I hadn't talked to you alone, all day, what's wrong? You do seem distracted." "Harry, you're my best friend and that's why I'm going to tell you- only you- what's wrong." said Ron. "You can tell me anything, I won't tell anybody, but why aren't you telling Hermione this?" asked Harry. "Well, I can't tell her because we're going out, and, well, let me just tell you, today, while we were waiting for the train, I saw Elena, and since then I couldn't stop thinking about her. I couln't tell Hermione because what if she gets mad, you know? We ARE going out, and I AM thinking about another girl." responded Ron. "Oh, ok, now, my advice to you, as a friend that cares is to forget about Elena. Forget her. Keep Hermione, she's perfect for you" said Harry, thinking of a different guy for Elena. "But, that's the problem! I love Hermione more than anything, but I can't stop thinking about Elena." "Well, are you willing to give up a perfect relationship with the girl you love for a girl that you don't even know?" was all Harry could say. Ron took a deep breath and was left thinking about it all night.
Elena, meanwhile, was at the slytherin table talking to Draco, but the conversation was dead. "So.." said Elena. "So..." was Draco's response. "Do we have to stay at our tables while we eat?" asked Elena. "Yes, we do, but why do you wanna switch tables?" "Well, today, while I was in the Hogwarts Express, I met three gryffindors, and I thought I could go eat with them, they seemed really nice, their names are Harry Potter, Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley, do you know them?" said Elena, trying to revive the conversation. Draco felt his face get hot all of a sudden as anger overtook him, she already knew Potter! Not only that, she wanted to go and have lunch with Potter instead of him! Him! Draco Malfoy! The heir to the Malfoy fortune! He had to make her stop thinking of him, so he decided to tell lies about him to her. "Yes, I do know him, but, don't hang out with him, he doesn't exactly have the best reputation, acts like he's all that because he's the-boy-who- lived, he treats everyone else as inferiors , don't hang out with him." "He seemed nice when I met him." said Elena, trying to defend Harry. "Oh, he's always like that, he's real nice to all new girls, but once he goes out with them, and just as they start to fall for him, he dumps them, why my friend here Millicent went out with him last year and she wouldn't stop crying once he did that to her." said Draco, "Millicent!" he yelled, Millicent Bullstrode turned to face him, then he said "Isn't it true you went out with Potter last year and he dumped you right when you started to feel something for him?" asked Draco to Millicent, winking, which signaled to go along with it. "Please Draco! Don't remind me!" said Millicent as best as she could without bursting out laughing, then turned away. "See, poor Millicent," he said shaking his head from side to side, "don't fall for him too." "Well! I can't believe what a liar he is! And he sounded so convincing! And I bet his little friends are like that too, they try to help him get girls. Well I won't fall for that!" said Elena, angry at what a fool she had been to believe they were being honest. "Well, you know Potter will still come after you, he'll only stop if you go out with someone else." "Really?" said Elena. "Oh, yes, you don't know him." replied Draco, not believing how great his plan had worked. "Well, in that case, I would love to go out with you, if the offer is still available, that is." "I would love to go out with you, Elena."
The next morning they recieved their schedules for their classes, classes began the day after. Elena had all of her classes with Draco, which she thought was great, and she also had all of her classes with Harry, Hermione and Ron. Elena was reading her class schedule "Transfiguration, followed by double Herbology, then Charms, Defence Against the Dark Arts, Potions, and WHY did we get stuck with Scarhead, Weasel and the Mudblood (Elena had taken up calling them that after spending the whole night talking to her 'new' slytherin friends, who called Harry, Ron and Hermione that) in all of our classes?" "Don't worry, we'll get past that, but look at the bright side, we have all of our classes together" replied Draco. "Well, yes, that is lucky." said Elena, giving Draco a kiss on his cheek. "Miss Romero, Mr. Malfoy, there is to be no physical signs of affection while inside the school, you can go outside for that" McGonagall said, witnessing the kiss they had just shared. "I'm sorry professor, it won't happen again" said Elena, blushing and embarassed by her actions, while looking at the floor.
They started walking towards the quidditch pitch, quidditch try-outs were today and Draco, as always, had his position on the team assured, thanks to the fine dontaions his father had made to the slytherin quidditch team, he had given them brand new firebolts 5006, the fastest there was to date. "You trying out for the team, Draco? How about you Elena? Do you play quidditch?" said Crabbe, as he was passing by. "Quidditch? What is that?" "You've never heard of quidditch?" asked Draco laughing. "No, what is it?" responded Elena. As Draco explained, Harry and Ron were watching the try-outs for the hufflepuff team finish up. After the hufflepuffs were the slytherins, then the gryffindors and finally the ravenclaws. Harry was looking around the pitch, when he saw Draco and Elena, and felt his face turn red and get hot. "Well, it looks like Elena is starting the year off with the wrong foot" said Ron to Harry. "That slimy, evil, rotten idiot. I can't believe he's trying to take MY GIRL!" responded Harry, furiosly getting up and walking over to them. Ron caught up to him and said "YOUR girl? What are you saying? She's not yours! She doesn't belong to anyone." "Oh, shut up! you have Hermione, leave Elena alone, she's mine, you have your own girl! Or, do you want me to tell Hermione what you feel about Elena?" responded Harry, continuing to walk towards Draco and Elena. "I don't want her for me!" said Ron, trying to sound as convincing as possible, but the truth was, he didn't know who he really wanted, either Elena or Hermione. As they approached Draco and Elena, they overheard part of their conversation. After hearing what quidditch was all about, Elena said "It sounds like fun, I guess I will try out, I mean, I've never played it before, so I'm positive I won't make the team, but I like trying new things, and there's always a first time for everything" while she grabbed her firebolt 5005 from her previous school year and signed up on the parchment on a table nearby. Harry and Ron walked up to her and Harry said "That's great, I mean, you trying out for the team, I hope you make it." "Thank you, Potter," said Elena coldly, then turned to Ron and said "Weasley." She then heard Madame Hootch call her name, for her to go and perform her routine, "I'll see you later, Draco", she smiled.
Elena walked onto the field with her broomstick in one of her hands and she was waving to Draco with the other hand. "What position are you trying out for?" asked Madame Hootch. Elena hadn't really thought about it, so she said the first position she remembered, "I'm trying out to be the seeker" she said while getting on her broom. "Very well, I will let the snitch free in 3...2...1," she blew her whistle and the next thing Elena saw was a tiny, golden ball fly up. "You may go get it when I say 'Go'" said Madame Hootch. Ten seconds later she heard her say "GO!" and Elena flew up, trying to see where the tiny ball went. She looked to her left and saw the sun reflecting off of something, se decided it must be what she was looking for and went after it. She caught up to it but couldn't exactly reach it. Then she thought that maybe if she moved up a bit, she could reach it, she moved her hips up a bit more and while holding on tightly to the broomstick, she felt a cold, round object on her fingertips, she moved up a bit more, enough so it would fit in her whole hand and the next thing she heard was Madame Hootch blow her whistle. She flew to the ground and went up to Madame Hootch "Very well done, Miss Romero, I think you will make a fine addition to the team, you got the snitch in exactly 4 minutes and 20 seconds, the best time so far. Now, it is not up to me to decide the teams, it is the captains, but I can tell you that you have a natural talent for quidditch." "Thank you, Madame Hootch, when will the results be posted up?" asked Elena. "Sometime this week, maybe tomorrow, they will be posted in every common room so you won't miss them, now, if you excuse me, I must continue with the try-outs, Melissa Truman!!!" said Madame Hootch.
Everyone was shocked, well, almost everyone, the gryffindors were sure they were going to get her in their house, the ravenclaws couldn't believe that a girl from Spain was going to Hogwarts, the hufflepuffs didn't know what to think, they were surprised for the same reason as the ravenclaws, and finally the slytherins didn't care much about her, she was just another girl sorted into slytherin.
