Draco had apparated back to the holiday house to get the kitten and write the letter.

He left some food and drink for the kitten, and the note on the bench. Draco didn't want the letter to be too personal; he wouldn't be able to handle it.

Draco left Sonia's house for the last time. He packed up all his belongings and said goodbye to Iris, she had been his lifesaver.

He tapped the portkey with his wand to activate it. He felt a familiar jerk near his navel and he was flying forwards in a whirlwind of colour and sound. His feet landed with a loud thud in the dining room of the Malfoy Manor.

Draco's mother was sitting at the dining room table; she glanced up when she heard the thud.

'Draco, your friend Blaise is here. Just know, I'm not very proud of you at the moment. I cannot believe that after you told me, you loved this girl and then broke her heart. I was going to have lunch with Annette Gordon today but she just owled me and cancelled. Now would this have anything to do with you? Hmm?'

Draco hung his head. His eyes were already swollen enough. His mother didn't need to see that.

He wandered into one of the bathrooms and rinsed his eyes out.

Blaise was waiting for him in the study with a package. He clapped when Draco walked in.

'Very good Draco… you figured out a loophole and broke the heart of Russell Gordon's daughter. Didn't think you had it in you,' he added with a smirk.

'Yeah, well give me the broom and go,' he replied.

'Ooh, cat-ty, don't tell me you fell for her as well.'

'Go Blaise. Now, before I lose my temper.'

'Gone,' he said as he disapparated.

Draco's mother walked in. 'Draco dear, I told Emmarin to pack your trunk. Did you go into Diagon Alley already? Otherwise I'll ask her to go and buy your new books as well.'

Draco sighed, 'Umm, yeah I went with Sonia. I got Head Boy, Mum.'

She smiled at him, 'Very good Draco. Now go have something for lunch, you look hungry.'

*****

The 1st of September arrived quickly and Sonia was dreading going to the new school… and seeing Draco again.

She had seen him as he said goodbye to his mother. He looked so good in his robes, with his silver head boy badge attached to them as well. He was the epitome of a god, with his white blonde hair and black school robes. She fought back the tears as she saw a familiar skinny pug faced girl come running up to him and give him a hug. Sonia turned to her mother who had been watching the same thing.

'Buy mum, I'll owl you when I get there OK,' she said with a kiss.

'Okay, honey. I love you.'

Sonia turned and hopped onto the carriage with her trunk. A dark haired boy and a red hair boy came up behind her.

'Need any help there?' enquired the red headed boy.

'That would be great, thanks!'

The boys took her trunk and asked her which compartment she was in.

'Oh, I'm not sure. I'm new and I'm not sure what goes on around her.'

The dark haired boy laughed, 'Well come sit with us then.'

'I'd love to, thanks,' she smiled.

The boys lead the way through the carriages and opened up one of the compartments. In there was another red head girl playing with a ginger cat and a brunette girl who was reading the 'Daily Prophet'.

The dark haired boy cleared his throat and the two girls looked up.

'Hermione?' Sonia asked the brunette.

'Oh my god! Sonia? Why didn't you tell me you were coming here,' she screamed as she jumped up to give her a hug.

'Well, I only just found out a couple of weeks ago and I've been rushed off my feet ever since.'

'Oh well then, come sit down. This is Ginny,' she said as she pointed to the red haired girl, 'and that's Harry,' she pointed to the dark haired boy, 'and Ron,' as she pointed to the red haired boy.

'Wow, this is so great, I've been here ten minutes and I already know more people then I did at Beauxbatons.'

'Oh, so did you meet Hermione when she was in France last year?' asked Harry.

'Yeah, and we've been friends ever since. How can you not like her, she's so chirpy all the time,' she said as she grinned at Hermione. Snow had escaped Sonia's arms and was now playing with the ginger cat (Sonia his name is crookshanks).

*****

After lunch Sonia was coming back from the bathroom where she heard voices coming from in one of the compartments. She didn't want to listen but she couldn't help it, the voices where pretty loud.

'Pansy, go away.'

'Well, Malfoy, I just heard from the grapevine that the one and only Sonia Gordon, has transferred to Hogwarts.'

'Yeah well, you're right.'

'Does she know about the bet that Blaise gave you? The reason why you fell for her in the first place.'

'No, and she doesn't need to either.'

'Well Draco, I think that she should know that the man she fell in love with only did it because he was saving his pride. Oh and he was getting a broomstick.' She laughed haughtily.

Sonia had heard enough. She slid the compartment door open. Draco looked shocked to say the least. 'Sonia,' he choked.

The skinny pug faced girl turned around.

'Parkinson,' Sonia said coldly.

'Gordon,' Pansy said with a sneer.

'You two know each other?' asked Draco.

Sonia turned to him. 'Of course I know her Draco. I'm Sonia Gordon. I know everyone,' she shouted angrily.

'But obviously I don't warrant enough respect from everyone else. Let's all make bets to break Sonia heart, she just a stupid rich bitch.' She turned around and ran back to the compartment where Hermione and the group was.

*****

Hermione turned to her a couple of hours later.

'Come on Sonia, you'd better get into your robes, we'll be there soon. Plus you need to rest your eyes. You've been reading that book this whole time.'

Sonia had been reading the book the whole time, but she was still on the page she was on two hours ago. She was thinking about Draco. Had all that stuff he'd said to her been fake? The look in his eyes every time he said her loved her certainly looked real.

Hermione got up to leave when the train stopped. She took Sonia's arm and led her away.

'Come on cheer up. I heard what happened. You and Draco Malfoy… ay?'

'Yeah but I don't want to think about it. He's a mistake, he's just a typical guy.'

Draco emerged from the shadows behind them, one solitary tear running down his cheek. 'He's a mistake, he's just a typical guy.' The words cut through him like a hot knife.

*****

The next morning Sonia woke up from one of the best sleeps she'd had. On her bed was a single card and a red rose. She opened it up.

'Sonia meet me in the Astronomy Tower tonight at 7.

Love Draco.'
