Harry Potter and the Unknown Chapter 2: Chosing Friends "Come on Andrea, I'll show you where our Common Room is." Draco replied as he stood up from the table. Andrea moved her glance away from Harry as she also stood up beside him. "Oh alright.." They started walking, soon exiting the Great Hall. For a while it was silent. Andrea was looking around at the other students talking and laughing heading up towards their own Common Rooms. "So Slytherin has an opening for Quidditch..tryouts are coming up soon." Draco said as they went up a flight of stairs. Turning his head to look at her. "You play Quidditch right? I mean..you Americans do play that sport?" Andrea shook her head annoyed like and turned her head towards him. "Of course we play Quidditch.." Andrea snapped at him. Draco's eyes were a little wide being taken back, first time anyone has ever really snapped at him like that. "American's arent stupid you know.." Rolling her eyes as they headed up a staircase leading down yet another hallway. "Right. Well what possion do you play?" He said, before she answered him he stopped infront of a wall. Andrea looked at him confused as he muttered the password. "Sneak" Walking in he looked around, then letting Andrea get a good look. "Cool" She murmmed. "Oh..just FYI Malfoy..I play Chaser..never played with my school of course, but my dad was Keeper and hes made me practice since I was five..on becoming a Chaser..seemed I would see more action that way.." Trailing off as she continued to look around. "Well good.." Said Draco. "Turns our we have an opening for a Chaser..i'll let you know when they are..there..you dormitory is up there." He said pointing up the staircase to the left. "Pansy should be up there already..she'll show you around tomorrow.." He said as he trailed off to bed. "Right then..bye.." Andrea said as she headed up the stairs. "Draco sent you did he?" The girl called Pansy said in a rather high pitched voice. "Letting me show you around..probably because im a Prefect also." She said smiling. "Welcome to Slytherin..my name is Pansy Parkinson.." "Er..Andrea Carman.." She said forcing another smile. Didnt seem to bad did they? Maybe Hermione and the others were just saying that because they were in Gryffindor.."You sleep there..i'll see you in the morning and we'll head off to breakfast.." "Right..night Pansy.." Andrea sat there lying in bed looking at the ceiling. What on earth am I here for? Would be so nice to be back home wouldnt it?Andrea thought to herself. But her thoughts were soon interupted by her eye lids closing slowly letting her fall into deep sleep. "Morning Andrea." Pansy said dully as she got dressed. "Mornin.." Andrea muttered back to her. Andrea looked around and on the end of her bed was a dark grey skirt, a plain white shirt, a dark green and white striped tie and a dark grey over sweatshirt. Rubbing her eyes a little as she put her new uniform on. Moving over at a mirrior she brushed through her hair, than ran her fingers through it to make it look layered. Looking over at Pansy she smiled and asked her. "So whats going on now?" "Oh. We have to go down to the Great Hall for some breakfast. There someone will give us our sheduals." Pansy replied as they both started out of the Dorm room. Making their way out of the Common Room, down a few flights of stairs then finally entering the Great Hall. "Here Andrea, our table is over here." Andrea, who wasnt really paying attention looked over to the Gryffindor table. Her eyes catch Harry's and he gives her a small smile. Feeling a bit stupid, Andrea gave him a smile back. Then looked towards Pansy and sat down next to her, which Draco was on the other side of her. "Well Andrea, the Slytherin colors look alright on you." Draco said proudly. "Oh thanks.." She said softly as a few older students dropped a small paper infront of her. "Class sheduals.." Pansy told her as she picked up hers. "Oh Draco! We have double Potions today with the Gryffindorks." Draco let out a small snort. "Good we can see what potion that damn Longbutton will mess up today, without that filthy mudblood Granger helping him." Andrea dropped her spoon for a second and looked up at Draco. "What did you say?" Draco looked curiously at her. "Im talking about Hermione Granger..that stupid mudblood girl over by Potter and Weasle." "Oh.." Andrea said as she moved her glance over towards the Gryffindor table. Spotting Harry she glanced over at the two friends sitting by them. Hermione met Andrea's eyes and threw her a soft smile. Andrea smiles back then looks at Draco and says "She er..didnt seem to bad when I met her.." Draco looked taken back at her and shruged but said nothing. Harry,Hermione, and Ron "You cant be serious trying to make friends with her are you?" Ron spat out looking over in Hermione's direction. "Well why not?" Hermione said throwing him a dirty look. "Why not? Why not?!" He asked as he was trying to come up with a good answer. "Hermione..shes in Slyhterin. She made friends with Draco the first day! Hes probably filling her head with all kinds of stuff against us." "Oh Ron shut up. Shes nice im sure she can see right through that prat." Harry smiled as he looked over in Andrea's direction also. It looked like Andrea was having a good time with them. But every once in a while he thought he could see a bored look on her face. As she got up to leave the Great Hall, Hermione stood up also seeing that she was leaving alone. "Come on. Noone else is with her so we can see cant how bad she is okay Ron?" Ron just rolled his eyes as both he and Harry stood up and walked out behind her. "Hey..Andrea!" Ron called out as he ran up to her. Andrea turned around and smiled at him. "Oh Ron hello" She said happily as they were soon joined by Hermione and Harry. "Hello Hermione. Hello Harry." Both of them smile back to her and muttered their hellos. Hermione could see Andrea was struggling on how to make conversation. Granted it was a bit akward for all of them now that she was a Slytherin. "Oh we just wanted to see how you are getting along." Hermione said sweetly. But Ron opened his big mouth. "Is Draco a really a big prat when hes alone?" "Ron!" Hermione said but Andrea just laughed as she looked at him. "Well..actually at times he can be quite nice..." She said softly as she looked at Ron. A face of disbelief spread on his face. "Your kidding right..nice? Hes the biggest jerk in the world." Hermione shook her head and placed a hand on his shoulder. "Ron shut your mouth..hey Andrea..we were going to take a walk outside for a while to spend the time, do you want to come with us." Andrea smiled as she saw Draco coming out of the Great Hall, their eyes met and he narrowed them as he made a motion for her to come over to him. "Actually..I would love to but..I think I need to get to know the castle better and Professor Dumbledore told Draco to show me around since im in Slytherin." She offered them a small smile as she left them. Back to Andrea "Having fun Carman?" Draco said as he looked at her. "Sort of..what do you want?" Draco smirked a bit as he looked at her for a while. From the look of his face he seemed to be forming a plan. Andrea wasnt sure if she liked him very much. "Well I was thinking about when you said you can play as a Chaser..well what if I told you I could get you into the Slytherin Quidditch Team?" Andrea's eyes were a little wide as she looked at him. "Oh really? Amazing!" Draco smiled as he continued. "I'd thought that would make you happy..although there is one thing..I need to warn you about.." Andrea looked at him confused. "What do you mean?" "I mean that if you hang out with filth like Potter,Weasley, and Granger you wont make the team..pluss..you would have a horrible time being in Slytherin." Andrea backed away from him narrowing her eyes. "You mean I can be friends with them? Your insane..they were the first to make friends with me..I like them." Draco also narrowed his eyes at her. "If you want to fit in Hogwarts, Carman you will play by the rules got it?" Andrea sighed as she nodded. "Good...catch you later then." Draco said grinning ear to ear as he shoved past her. Great..Andrea thought. Now what?
