Disclaimer: Again anything you don't recognize from Harry Potter is mine,
everything else is JK Rowling's. And the "pet" stuff (you'll get what I
mean later in the chapter) is from Spike in Buffy, so I guess that belongs
to Joss Whedon.
Surreal Occurrences
~A New World
I decided to go live with the Malfoys. Everything was official, they were now my guardians and only guardians, not adoptive parents. They thought that because both of my parents were alive, although I was unable to live with them, it would be inappropriate for them to be my adoptive parents, so I just got two new guardians. Yeah for me.
After the hours of "necessary" paperwork, I'm told its necessary but I don't see the big deal, I just want to get out of this place, we go out the front doors of the center and I'm met by this limousine. I thought they were rich, I guess I was right.
But I must of looked in awe because Narcissa, they insisted I call them by their first names, whispered to me, "Go in Surreal, and you might want to get used to this sort of treatment, you are just as well off," and I must of looked shocked or something because she then said, "You don't think your parents left you with nothing do you?"
I wish they would just tell me who my parents were already; it's getting tiresome with them saying "your parents" every five minutes. But I didn't dwell on it too long as we got into the limo and some after that Lucius was announcing that we had arrived.
Well I must say I have never seen anything so big. Just the gates must have been 18 feet tall; to say nothing of the house or mansion, I guess that would be a better word for it. Not only was the mansion huge, the grounds were enormous too. With pools and gardens and something I was guessing was the Quidditch pitch, they had somewhat explained on the way over, you could not see another house anywhere, their property must have gone on and on.
After I had collected myself enough I realized Lucius and Narcissa had already begun to walk up the path to the mansion's doors. They had a house elf, again they explained this to me on the way over probably so I wouldn't freak out when I saw it, carrying my bags. Yeah that looked nice, my trash bags full of my stuff going into this huge glamorous manor. Yeah, real nice.
I followed them into the entrance hall and was for the third time today, totally in awe. I really need to get a hold of myself I can't be doing this every time something shiny comes my way. I'm already irritating myself.
But with golden and silver chandeliers, sparkling tile, mahogany spiraling staircases, and beautiful paintings on the walls it's hard not to be struck in awe.
When I had stopped ogling my surroundings I noticed a strikingly handsome boy standing by the end of the stairs. I could tell right away this was the Malfoy's son, Draco. He had the same blond hair as his father, though his was much shorter, none of the past the shoulder length that his father had. He had his mother's eyes, the grayish-blue bordering on silver. Though he definitely had his father's smirk as he was using that very smirk on me at the moment.
"Surreal this is our son Draco and I'm sure he will be more than happy to show you your room upstairs. We will see you at dinner in a few hours," and with a nod of his head he left. Narcissa gave me a slight smile and then followed after him.
"So you're Surreal Black? I thought you'd be taller," Draco said making me turn around to look at him.
"So you're Draco Malfoy? I thought you'd be less of a smartass," I shot back, not bothering to keep the irritation out of my voice. I might find him attractive but that didn't mean I would walk on my toes around him, if he couldn't deal with a strong woman it's his problem not mine.
Then to my great surprise he laughed.
"Thanks I needed that. Maybe with you around this place won't be so dull during the summers before school starts. So how about we try this again, I'm Draco I hope we can be on friendly terms since we are going to be spending a lot of time together" he said as he held out his hand.
I looked at his hand a bit suspiciously before taking it in my own and saying, "Yeah well I am not here for your amusement purposes but I guess I can try this friendly thing," then I gave him one of my rare true smiles, "I'm Surreal."
"Now that we are all introduced I'll show you your room, it's right across the hall from mine," he said as he pointed up the stairs and allowed me to go first. He is really quickly working his way up my good list, after that first remark I think I'm being to like him.
He followed me up the stairs and then took the lead when we go to the top, well really only the second floor, but I'm not so sure how many floors this place has, could be a hundred for all I know.
We made our way down the candle lit hallway; I knew they didn't have any electricity, as this was a wizard home. Lucius and Narcissa had been more than happy to fill me in on all those little details. Like how there is no electricity, no phones and no television. That didn't bother me that much and I seemed to be warming up the idea of being a witch and going to Hogwarts.
Draco stopped at a door on the right side of the hallway and motioned for me to open it. Inside I found large queen sized bed with a black comforter and black pillows. Now how did they know? I smirked to myself looking around to see many things black and green, the throw rug was green over the hardwood floor. The walls changed with the day, as Draco explained to me, making them at the moment show a beautiful sunset. I had a dresser with a mirror expanding to cover the entire wall, along with a wood desk. I loved it already.
"Do you like it? Your clothes and belongings have already been placed in the dresser by the house elves, so you don't need to worry about that although tomorrow you might want to buy some robes when we go to Diagon Ally," he said as he raked his eyes down my body. I had never felt anything like it, it made me get Goosebumps and that was just from the way he was watching me! What happened when he accidentally touched me or something? Well I can't say I don't want to find out.
I sat down on the bed and was pleasantly surprised to find it very soft and exactly how I like my beds to be. Though I shouldn't be surprised given everything else in this room is exactly how I always wanted my room to be.
"We're going to Diagon Ally tomorrow? I am I going to get my school stuff too, I mean that starts in a week or two doesn't it?" I asked, not knowing when I was going to Hogwarts as Lucius replied to the letter for me and I didn't get to see what it said.
"Yeah, you need to get a lot of stuff including your wand, but school starts in about two weeks on September 1st so you don't have to worry about rushing to get anything," he said as he slide his hand through his hair and came to sit next to me on my bed.
"Are you going with me?" I asked. I mean it was an innocent question I didn't want to be their by myself searching to find all of these places.
He smirked at me while replying, "Mother and father thought it would be appropriate if I showed you around and helped you get all of your stuff since they have work and other things to do. So yes I am going with you."
After that last sentence he had moved incredibly close to me. His face was only inches from mine and while I looked a little surprised he continued to smirk. We abruptly turned away from each other when there was a knock on the door.
"Giddy would just like to tell Master Draco and Mistress Surreal that dinner is ready," and with that the house elf left and we were alone again. I looked back to Draco and found him smiling at me, none of that smirking that he had done before.
"Well I guess we better go done for dinner, don't want to keep the parents waiting" and with that parting statement he left the room. Leaving me behind bewildered. What had almost happened there? Ok so we were both attracted to each other, I guess that was progress but this is my first day in this new world, I need to take it slower until I really know what I am getting myself into.
We had a pleasant dinner in which Narcissa asked me questions about how I had lived for the past sixteen years. When I answered I could see the anger building behind her eye, she must have been a really good friend of my mother's because it was obvious she did not agree to how I was being treated at all.
I told Lucius about my occurrences or accidents, although he still refuses to refer to them as such. He seemed pleasantly surprised at my fire dog incident, my TV and electric explosion, and my Christy spasm and scream episode. At the last mentioned incident Draco looked up from his plate to look at me. He looked at me with wonderment. Lucius told me I had done one of the Unforgivable curses, at which I looked a little nervous until he said it was brilliant that I could do such a powerful curse without a wand. He seemed pleased and so I didn't fret over why it was called an Unforgivable. Oh well.
As we continued to talk Draco seemed to become more and more intrigued with me, staring at me for lengths at a time. Instead of finding it irritating and annoying as I normally would I found it endearing, God I really was falling for this guy I had only met hours ago.
Then at the end of dinner Lucius and Narcissa excused themselves and wished me a good night's sleep.
I followed Draco up the stairs to my room, said "Good night" and promptly fell asleep. What? It had been a very bizarre day, I just hoped I didn't wake up to find it was a dream.
I woke up to someone gently shaking me. I went to hit the person who was trying to wake me. Who was stupid enough to try and wake me, I know all the girls at the foster center would never do it after I broke that girl Susie's nose and gave her a black eye for two weeks.
When I raised my arm to try and hit the idiot who was shaking me, they caught my arm in mid air and pushed it back down. That fully woke me up; no one has ever been able to do that before. I opened my eyes to see two silver eyes looking back at me. I know I shouldn't of, but I screamed. The boy backed off and I fell from the bed to the hard floor.
"Oww . . . that's gonna leave a bruise" I turned my head to the laughter I heard coming from my bed. Draco was sitting there continuing to chuckle at me while I blinked the sleep from my eyes in order to see him more clearly.
"You are just beautiful when you sleep, but then I try to wake you and turn all monstrous on me" he said while continuing to chuckle.
Then I did something that even surprised me, I laughed too.
"Well maybe you shouldn't try to wake me then, and let me sleep," he really was bringing out a new, less the "I will kill you right now" me, and more the "flirt with me and see where you get." Although I must say I sorta like the new me, especially around Draco.
"Are you implying I should just stay with you a night to watch you sleep," God now he's flirting with me and the new me decides to flirt right back.
"Well maybe, if that will stop you from trying to get me up at 8:00 in the morning" I say with a smile. Two smiles, he gets two smiles from me in less than two days, new record for me, but again I like the person Draco brings out in me, maybe I should stop complaining.
"I had to wake you early so we can go to Diagon Ally, or have you forgotten already?" he asked, arching an eyebrow. Okay I did forget but I'm now going to admit that to him. And I must say that he looks real sexy right now, man I need to get a hold of myself right now.
"Yeah alright I'm going, just let me get changed I was so tired last night I didn't even change into my night clothes," I say as I wave him away. Then thinking he left I go to lift my halter off, only to see him still here.
"Umm, yeah that would be your cue to leave, you don't get a show," I say while I clutch my rather small shirt to my chest in a pathetic attempt to cover myself.
"Alright, I'll be going then pet. But hurry up I wouldn't want to have to come back up here to make sure your getting ready," he said with a smirk as he sauntered out of the room. "Pet" what's that, oh well I kinda like it, and there he goes with that sexy smirk again, God help me if my knees got a little weak.
I finally I was finished getting dressed and was ready to go. I decided today that I would dress to kill, though not literally, but then again you never know. I was wearing black leather boots that came up to my knees, then again with the black leather, but this time it was a mini skirt. I wore a long-sleeved dark red top, with a very low v-cut neckline, people have called this outfit "slutty" in the past, but hey if you like it, wear it. I had my hair down; it flowed to the middle of my back in layers and framed my face perfectly. Again I had on my dark make-up, the eyeliner and mascara with a dash of silver eye shadow and a red lipstick to match my top.
After looking myself over in the mirror and having it tell me "I was drop dead gorgeous," one can never get too many compliments, I was ready.
As I walked down the stairs I saw Draco waiting by the front entrance. He didn't see me until I politely coughed to announce my presence. He seemed frozen for a second as he just stood there staring at me with his mouth partly open until he seemed to recompose himself and said, "You look absolutely stunning, I hope I don't have to chase all the other boys away from you" showing me a genuine smile.
"Well why would you feel the need to do that, I am single you know," there was that flirting again, but I couldn't seem to help it.
He smiled gently at me, "Maybe I don't want you to be single." And with that he turned and walked into the next room.
I stood there stunned for a minute, I didn't actually think he would say anything like that to me, but you have to use what you get, so I jogged after him.
The jogging part was hard, especially in four-inch heels. I found him in the room standing by the fireplace with a small bowl in his hand.
"What's that for?" blurted from my mouth, so much for using what you get.
He smiled, "We are using the Floo network to get to Diagon Ally, it's much quicker than talking a carriage or car."
"Oh I remember it's the thing where you put the sand into the fire, it turns green, you jump in, say where you want to go and POOF, right?" I was trying to remember everything about the wizarding world I was told, it would hopefully help me out when I got he Hogwarts.
"Yeah, POOF," he said mockingly, while he smiled at me. He could smile at me all day and I would love every minute of it. "You get to go first, just speak clearly 'Diagon Ally' so that you don't end up somewhere else and I have to waste the whole day looking for you."
"Yeah, alright," and I threw some of the powder from the bowl he was holding into the fire and stepped in, "DIAGON ALLY!"
Amazingly I was still standing when I flew out of the fireplace. I was so proud of myself until I forgot to get out of the way and Draco came through. He flew into me and we went toppling onto the floor. I was on my back looking up into silver eyes.
He smiled at me, "Make sure to be out of the way next time, or perhaps I should just go first?"
"Whatever, just could you get off of me now, I can hardly breath," I gasped fully aware that everyone in the room was staring at us.
"You sure you don't want me to here, I find it rather comfortable and," he bent closer to whisper in my ear, "arousing."
I wanted to die right there, my entire face was enflamed. I pushed him off rather forcefully, stood up and brushed off my shirt and fixed my skirt while trying to steady my breathing.
He sat on the floor chuckling at me and my flustered state. Well I guess two could play that game. When he pulled himself off of the floor I walked up to him and when everyone else had gone back to what they were doing I leaned up to him, even with my heels he was a good few inches taller than me, and I kissed him lightly on the lips.
He froze. I pulled away and looked into his eyes as I licked my lips. Then I turned on my heel and sauntered out of the shop.
I waited outside of the shop for him to finally come out of his daze. When he didn't come out for a few minutes I started to look around and notice my surroundings. People dressing in robes were everywhere, talking with old friends, buying and selling, or just wandering around. It was then that I noticed two boys start to make their way over to me. One had visibly bright red hair and blue eyes, the other with messy black hair and green eyes a shade lighter than my own. I recognized them from when the Malfoy's talked about them, and with much hatred I might add.
Ronald Weasley and Harry Potter. I decided to play with them before I let them know who I was or who I like to associate with, thinking the second piece of information may hold more meaning to them. I looked behind me to make certain Draco wasn't coming out yet and then looked up to greet them.
"Hi, I haven't seen you around before and just thought I should introduce myself and my friend here, I'm Harry Potter and this is Ron Weasley," he said while extending his hand to me.
I took the offered hand, "It's so nice to meet you, I have only heard the best of both of you. I'm Surreal Black."
Ron spoke up suddenly, "Black?" He looked a bit pale.
"Uhh, yeah is there a problem?" I was curious as to what about my name made him look so pale. I turned to Harry expecting an answer.
"Are you related to Sirius Black? I mean that's just . . . well I mean I've know of him and maybe you're related to him . . . or something," I tried not to laugh as he stuttered; he didn't seem to type who stuttered a lot.
Just as I was about to answer I heard a voice call out behind me, "Surreal I just wanted to . . . ohh, Potty and Weasel, come to get ready for a new year of humiliation?"
All the boys seemed to hit their emotional switch. Harry and Ron turned to the defensive and got ready to throw a comment back to Draco, and Draco turned from smiling and devious to a cruel and sardonic. I can't say I hated to switch though; he looked and acted great both ways.
Harry was the first to say something back, "Back off Malfoy, we didn't come here to see you. We were just talking with Surreal, now go back home where someone pretends to care about you."
Draco turned a delicious shade of red, but then smirked and I started to wonder what he was thinking until he started to walk toward me. I must have had a confused look on my face because Draco just smiled at me. But then Ron decided to have his say, "Leave her alone she doesn't want to have anything to do with you!"
Now I began to get angry, although skillfully I didn't let it show on my face. Who did he think he was, telling me what I want to do or what I don't want to do? I was so focused on Ron's face that I didn't notice how close Draco was until he touched me. I jumped a little at first but quickly settled down as he placed his arm around my waist, his hand laying at the front of my skirt.
Harry and Ron looked ready to protest until they saw that I leaned into his arms and laid my head against his chest. I looked up a Draco who was smirking a the two dumbfounded boys in front of us, "What was that you were saying Weasel, that she doesn't want anything to do with me?"
I closed my eyes, trying to stop myself from laughing, I couldn't start this year off with two fresh enemies no matter how much I might dislike them, I would have to be around them a little longer to be able to hate them yet.
When I opened my eyes again I looked only to find Harry and Ron must have left. I looked up at Draco, who still had his arm around me.
"So what was that in the Floo room? Umm?" he said as he leaned toward me.
"Well you know . . . you were . . ." I never stutter but here I am stuttering to a boy I've only known for about a day. But then I'm cut off from my stammering when lips cover my own. At first shock is my only response, and then I get into the kiss. We're snogging by the time I realize we hardly know each other. I finally pulled away.
As if he red my mind Draco says, "I know we don't know each other very well, but well I want to." He scratches his head while looking down and not meeting my eyes.
I put my finger under his chin and lift his head until his eyes meet mine, "I think I'd like to too," I smile. And then he slowly smiles back.
Surreal Occurrences
~A New World
I decided to go live with the Malfoys. Everything was official, they were now my guardians and only guardians, not adoptive parents. They thought that because both of my parents were alive, although I was unable to live with them, it would be inappropriate for them to be my adoptive parents, so I just got two new guardians. Yeah for me.
After the hours of "necessary" paperwork, I'm told its necessary but I don't see the big deal, I just want to get out of this place, we go out the front doors of the center and I'm met by this limousine. I thought they were rich, I guess I was right.
But I must of looked in awe because Narcissa, they insisted I call them by their first names, whispered to me, "Go in Surreal, and you might want to get used to this sort of treatment, you are just as well off," and I must of looked shocked or something because she then said, "You don't think your parents left you with nothing do you?"
I wish they would just tell me who my parents were already; it's getting tiresome with them saying "your parents" every five minutes. But I didn't dwell on it too long as we got into the limo and some after that Lucius was announcing that we had arrived.
Well I must say I have never seen anything so big. Just the gates must have been 18 feet tall; to say nothing of the house or mansion, I guess that would be a better word for it. Not only was the mansion huge, the grounds were enormous too. With pools and gardens and something I was guessing was the Quidditch pitch, they had somewhat explained on the way over, you could not see another house anywhere, their property must have gone on and on.
After I had collected myself enough I realized Lucius and Narcissa had already begun to walk up the path to the mansion's doors. They had a house elf, again they explained this to me on the way over probably so I wouldn't freak out when I saw it, carrying my bags. Yeah that looked nice, my trash bags full of my stuff going into this huge glamorous manor. Yeah, real nice.
I followed them into the entrance hall and was for the third time today, totally in awe. I really need to get a hold of myself I can't be doing this every time something shiny comes my way. I'm already irritating myself.
But with golden and silver chandeliers, sparkling tile, mahogany spiraling staircases, and beautiful paintings on the walls it's hard not to be struck in awe.
When I had stopped ogling my surroundings I noticed a strikingly handsome boy standing by the end of the stairs. I could tell right away this was the Malfoy's son, Draco. He had the same blond hair as his father, though his was much shorter, none of the past the shoulder length that his father had. He had his mother's eyes, the grayish-blue bordering on silver. Though he definitely had his father's smirk as he was using that very smirk on me at the moment.
"Surreal this is our son Draco and I'm sure he will be more than happy to show you your room upstairs. We will see you at dinner in a few hours," and with a nod of his head he left. Narcissa gave me a slight smile and then followed after him.
"So you're Surreal Black? I thought you'd be taller," Draco said making me turn around to look at him.
"So you're Draco Malfoy? I thought you'd be less of a smartass," I shot back, not bothering to keep the irritation out of my voice. I might find him attractive but that didn't mean I would walk on my toes around him, if he couldn't deal with a strong woman it's his problem not mine.
Then to my great surprise he laughed.
"Thanks I needed that. Maybe with you around this place won't be so dull during the summers before school starts. So how about we try this again, I'm Draco I hope we can be on friendly terms since we are going to be spending a lot of time together" he said as he held out his hand.
I looked at his hand a bit suspiciously before taking it in my own and saying, "Yeah well I am not here for your amusement purposes but I guess I can try this friendly thing," then I gave him one of my rare true smiles, "I'm Surreal."
"Now that we are all introduced I'll show you your room, it's right across the hall from mine," he said as he pointed up the stairs and allowed me to go first. He is really quickly working his way up my good list, after that first remark I think I'm being to like him.
He followed me up the stairs and then took the lead when we go to the top, well really only the second floor, but I'm not so sure how many floors this place has, could be a hundred for all I know.
We made our way down the candle lit hallway; I knew they didn't have any electricity, as this was a wizard home. Lucius and Narcissa had been more than happy to fill me in on all those little details. Like how there is no electricity, no phones and no television. That didn't bother me that much and I seemed to be warming up the idea of being a witch and going to Hogwarts.
Draco stopped at a door on the right side of the hallway and motioned for me to open it. Inside I found large queen sized bed with a black comforter and black pillows. Now how did they know? I smirked to myself looking around to see many things black and green, the throw rug was green over the hardwood floor. The walls changed with the day, as Draco explained to me, making them at the moment show a beautiful sunset. I had a dresser with a mirror expanding to cover the entire wall, along with a wood desk. I loved it already.
"Do you like it? Your clothes and belongings have already been placed in the dresser by the house elves, so you don't need to worry about that although tomorrow you might want to buy some robes when we go to Diagon Ally," he said as he raked his eyes down my body. I had never felt anything like it, it made me get Goosebumps and that was just from the way he was watching me! What happened when he accidentally touched me or something? Well I can't say I don't want to find out.
I sat down on the bed and was pleasantly surprised to find it very soft and exactly how I like my beds to be. Though I shouldn't be surprised given everything else in this room is exactly how I always wanted my room to be.
"We're going to Diagon Ally tomorrow? I am I going to get my school stuff too, I mean that starts in a week or two doesn't it?" I asked, not knowing when I was going to Hogwarts as Lucius replied to the letter for me and I didn't get to see what it said.
"Yeah, you need to get a lot of stuff including your wand, but school starts in about two weeks on September 1st so you don't have to worry about rushing to get anything," he said as he slide his hand through his hair and came to sit next to me on my bed.
"Are you going with me?" I asked. I mean it was an innocent question I didn't want to be their by myself searching to find all of these places.
He smirked at me while replying, "Mother and father thought it would be appropriate if I showed you around and helped you get all of your stuff since they have work and other things to do. So yes I am going with you."
After that last sentence he had moved incredibly close to me. His face was only inches from mine and while I looked a little surprised he continued to smirk. We abruptly turned away from each other when there was a knock on the door.
"Giddy would just like to tell Master Draco and Mistress Surreal that dinner is ready," and with that the house elf left and we were alone again. I looked back to Draco and found him smiling at me, none of that smirking that he had done before.
"Well I guess we better go done for dinner, don't want to keep the parents waiting" and with that parting statement he left the room. Leaving me behind bewildered. What had almost happened there? Ok so we were both attracted to each other, I guess that was progress but this is my first day in this new world, I need to take it slower until I really know what I am getting myself into.
We had a pleasant dinner in which Narcissa asked me questions about how I had lived for the past sixteen years. When I answered I could see the anger building behind her eye, she must have been a really good friend of my mother's because it was obvious she did not agree to how I was being treated at all.
I told Lucius about my occurrences or accidents, although he still refuses to refer to them as such. He seemed pleasantly surprised at my fire dog incident, my TV and electric explosion, and my Christy spasm and scream episode. At the last mentioned incident Draco looked up from his plate to look at me. He looked at me with wonderment. Lucius told me I had done one of the Unforgivable curses, at which I looked a little nervous until he said it was brilliant that I could do such a powerful curse without a wand. He seemed pleased and so I didn't fret over why it was called an Unforgivable. Oh well.
As we continued to talk Draco seemed to become more and more intrigued with me, staring at me for lengths at a time. Instead of finding it irritating and annoying as I normally would I found it endearing, God I really was falling for this guy I had only met hours ago.
Then at the end of dinner Lucius and Narcissa excused themselves and wished me a good night's sleep.
I followed Draco up the stairs to my room, said "Good night" and promptly fell asleep. What? It had been a very bizarre day, I just hoped I didn't wake up to find it was a dream.
I woke up to someone gently shaking me. I went to hit the person who was trying to wake me. Who was stupid enough to try and wake me, I know all the girls at the foster center would never do it after I broke that girl Susie's nose and gave her a black eye for two weeks.
When I raised my arm to try and hit the idiot who was shaking me, they caught my arm in mid air and pushed it back down. That fully woke me up; no one has ever been able to do that before. I opened my eyes to see two silver eyes looking back at me. I know I shouldn't of, but I screamed. The boy backed off and I fell from the bed to the hard floor.
"Oww . . . that's gonna leave a bruise" I turned my head to the laughter I heard coming from my bed. Draco was sitting there continuing to chuckle at me while I blinked the sleep from my eyes in order to see him more clearly.
"You are just beautiful when you sleep, but then I try to wake you and turn all monstrous on me" he said while continuing to chuckle.
Then I did something that even surprised me, I laughed too.
"Well maybe you shouldn't try to wake me then, and let me sleep," he really was bringing out a new, less the "I will kill you right now" me, and more the "flirt with me and see where you get." Although I must say I sorta like the new me, especially around Draco.
"Are you implying I should just stay with you a night to watch you sleep," God now he's flirting with me and the new me decides to flirt right back.
"Well maybe, if that will stop you from trying to get me up at 8:00 in the morning" I say with a smile. Two smiles, he gets two smiles from me in less than two days, new record for me, but again I like the person Draco brings out in me, maybe I should stop complaining.
"I had to wake you early so we can go to Diagon Ally, or have you forgotten already?" he asked, arching an eyebrow. Okay I did forget but I'm now going to admit that to him. And I must say that he looks real sexy right now, man I need to get a hold of myself right now.
"Yeah alright I'm going, just let me get changed I was so tired last night I didn't even change into my night clothes," I say as I wave him away. Then thinking he left I go to lift my halter off, only to see him still here.
"Umm, yeah that would be your cue to leave, you don't get a show," I say while I clutch my rather small shirt to my chest in a pathetic attempt to cover myself.
"Alright, I'll be going then pet. But hurry up I wouldn't want to have to come back up here to make sure your getting ready," he said with a smirk as he sauntered out of the room. "Pet" what's that, oh well I kinda like it, and there he goes with that sexy smirk again, God help me if my knees got a little weak.
I finally I was finished getting dressed and was ready to go. I decided today that I would dress to kill, though not literally, but then again you never know. I was wearing black leather boots that came up to my knees, then again with the black leather, but this time it was a mini skirt. I wore a long-sleeved dark red top, with a very low v-cut neckline, people have called this outfit "slutty" in the past, but hey if you like it, wear it. I had my hair down; it flowed to the middle of my back in layers and framed my face perfectly. Again I had on my dark make-up, the eyeliner and mascara with a dash of silver eye shadow and a red lipstick to match my top.
After looking myself over in the mirror and having it tell me "I was drop dead gorgeous," one can never get too many compliments, I was ready.
As I walked down the stairs I saw Draco waiting by the front entrance. He didn't see me until I politely coughed to announce my presence. He seemed frozen for a second as he just stood there staring at me with his mouth partly open until he seemed to recompose himself and said, "You look absolutely stunning, I hope I don't have to chase all the other boys away from you" showing me a genuine smile.
"Well why would you feel the need to do that, I am single you know," there was that flirting again, but I couldn't seem to help it.
He smiled gently at me, "Maybe I don't want you to be single." And with that he turned and walked into the next room.
I stood there stunned for a minute, I didn't actually think he would say anything like that to me, but you have to use what you get, so I jogged after him.
The jogging part was hard, especially in four-inch heels. I found him in the room standing by the fireplace with a small bowl in his hand.
"What's that for?" blurted from my mouth, so much for using what you get.
He smiled, "We are using the Floo network to get to Diagon Ally, it's much quicker than talking a carriage or car."
"Oh I remember it's the thing where you put the sand into the fire, it turns green, you jump in, say where you want to go and POOF, right?" I was trying to remember everything about the wizarding world I was told, it would hopefully help me out when I got he Hogwarts.
"Yeah, POOF," he said mockingly, while he smiled at me. He could smile at me all day and I would love every minute of it. "You get to go first, just speak clearly 'Diagon Ally' so that you don't end up somewhere else and I have to waste the whole day looking for you."
"Yeah, alright," and I threw some of the powder from the bowl he was holding into the fire and stepped in, "DIAGON ALLY!"
Amazingly I was still standing when I flew out of the fireplace. I was so proud of myself until I forgot to get out of the way and Draco came through. He flew into me and we went toppling onto the floor. I was on my back looking up into silver eyes.
He smiled at me, "Make sure to be out of the way next time, or perhaps I should just go first?"
"Whatever, just could you get off of me now, I can hardly breath," I gasped fully aware that everyone in the room was staring at us.
"You sure you don't want me to here, I find it rather comfortable and," he bent closer to whisper in my ear, "arousing."
I wanted to die right there, my entire face was enflamed. I pushed him off rather forcefully, stood up and brushed off my shirt and fixed my skirt while trying to steady my breathing.
He sat on the floor chuckling at me and my flustered state. Well I guess two could play that game. When he pulled himself off of the floor I walked up to him and when everyone else had gone back to what they were doing I leaned up to him, even with my heels he was a good few inches taller than me, and I kissed him lightly on the lips.
He froze. I pulled away and looked into his eyes as I licked my lips. Then I turned on my heel and sauntered out of the shop.
I waited outside of the shop for him to finally come out of his daze. When he didn't come out for a few minutes I started to look around and notice my surroundings. People dressing in robes were everywhere, talking with old friends, buying and selling, or just wandering around. It was then that I noticed two boys start to make their way over to me. One had visibly bright red hair and blue eyes, the other with messy black hair and green eyes a shade lighter than my own. I recognized them from when the Malfoy's talked about them, and with much hatred I might add.
Ronald Weasley and Harry Potter. I decided to play with them before I let them know who I was or who I like to associate with, thinking the second piece of information may hold more meaning to them. I looked behind me to make certain Draco wasn't coming out yet and then looked up to greet them.
"Hi, I haven't seen you around before and just thought I should introduce myself and my friend here, I'm Harry Potter and this is Ron Weasley," he said while extending his hand to me.
I took the offered hand, "It's so nice to meet you, I have only heard the best of both of you. I'm Surreal Black."
Ron spoke up suddenly, "Black?" He looked a bit pale.
"Uhh, yeah is there a problem?" I was curious as to what about my name made him look so pale. I turned to Harry expecting an answer.
"Are you related to Sirius Black? I mean that's just . . . well I mean I've know of him and maybe you're related to him . . . or something," I tried not to laugh as he stuttered; he didn't seem to type who stuttered a lot.
Just as I was about to answer I heard a voice call out behind me, "Surreal I just wanted to . . . ohh, Potty and Weasel, come to get ready for a new year of humiliation?"
All the boys seemed to hit their emotional switch. Harry and Ron turned to the defensive and got ready to throw a comment back to Draco, and Draco turned from smiling and devious to a cruel and sardonic. I can't say I hated to switch though; he looked and acted great both ways.
Harry was the first to say something back, "Back off Malfoy, we didn't come here to see you. We were just talking with Surreal, now go back home where someone pretends to care about you."
Draco turned a delicious shade of red, but then smirked and I started to wonder what he was thinking until he started to walk toward me. I must have had a confused look on my face because Draco just smiled at me. But then Ron decided to have his say, "Leave her alone she doesn't want to have anything to do with you!"
Now I began to get angry, although skillfully I didn't let it show on my face. Who did he think he was, telling me what I want to do or what I don't want to do? I was so focused on Ron's face that I didn't notice how close Draco was until he touched me. I jumped a little at first but quickly settled down as he placed his arm around my waist, his hand laying at the front of my skirt.
Harry and Ron looked ready to protest until they saw that I leaned into his arms and laid my head against his chest. I looked up a Draco who was smirking a the two dumbfounded boys in front of us, "What was that you were saying Weasel, that she doesn't want anything to do with me?"
I closed my eyes, trying to stop myself from laughing, I couldn't start this year off with two fresh enemies no matter how much I might dislike them, I would have to be around them a little longer to be able to hate them yet.
When I opened my eyes again I looked only to find Harry and Ron must have left. I looked up at Draco, who still had his arm around me.
"So what was that in the Floo room? Umm?" he said as he leaned toward me.
"Well you know . . . you were . . ." I never stutter but here I am stuttering to a boy I've only known for about a day. But then I'm cut off from my stammering when lips cover my own. At first shock is my only response, and then I get into the kiss. We're snogging by the time I realize we hardly know each other. I finally pulled away.
As if he red my mind Draco says, "I know we don't know each other very well, but well I want to." He scratches his head while looking down and not meeting my eyes.
I put my finger under his chin and lift his head until his eyes meet mine, "I think I'd like to too," I smile. And then he slowly smiles back.
