Friends
Sasha entered her dormitory to find Demitra sitting by the window reading.
"Hey, Sash. I - whoa!" Demitra exclaimed when she saw Sashas necklace. The emerald and ruby caught the fires light and glinted beautifully. Demitra examined it, and whistled.
"Nice. Let me guess, a present from Malfoy?" she asked. Sasha nodded.
"Yeah. And look on the back!" Sasha flipped the little heart around so her twin could see.
" 'Draco Sasha'. Cute," Demitra chuckled. Sasha sat down on her four poster bed.
"So what does that tell you about him?" she asked Demitra, who shrugged.
"That he's rich? And love-sick?" she guessed with a sigh. Sasha shooked her head.
"Ha ha, no. That he's very serious about me," she corrected Demitra.
"Yeah, that too."
"Well, I'm going to bed," Sasha yawned. "Night, Demi."
Sasha woke to Demitra shaking her shoulder.
"Sash! Wake up! You slept in! Get down to the Great Hall, now!" she whispered urgently. Sasha sat up with a jolt.
"What?! Why didn't you wake me up earlier?" she cried at Demitra. Sasha looked at her watch and groaned.
"Demi! I still have an hour! What are you playing at?" she yawned. Demitra giggled in excitement.
"I know, but we couldn't wait. You're up now though, so get down to breakfast!" she laughed and left the dormitory. Crazy, Sasha thought. My sisters a whacko.
Bewildered, Sasha got out of bed and pulled on her clothes. She was about to tie her silver and green tie, when she decided against wearing it and dropped it back into her trunk. Instead, Sasha undid the top two buttons of her shirt, to show off the necklace.
After grabbing her bookbag, Sasha made her way to the Great Hall. She entered and the entire Slytherin table burst into applause. The other house tables rolled their eyes, and clapped unenthusiastically. Sasha stood, confused, between the Slytherin and Gryffindor tables. Draco got up and went to meet her.
"What have you been up to?" she asked him suspiciusly, hugging him. Draco smirked, and pointed to the far wall.
"Look," he whispered to Sasha. Draco nodded to a dark haired boy standing off to the side. The boy flicked his wand, and a banner fell from the ceiling to cover the far wall. It read:
I LOVE YOU SASHA
Sashas hand flew to her mouth, and she cried out in surprise. She threw her arms around Dracos neck, and kissed his cheek. Over his shoulder Sasha caught a glimpes of Hermione Granger staring at her, and clapping slowly. She quickly averted her eyes when Sasha saw her. Draco led her to their table for breakfast, a big grin on his smug face.
Sasha couldn't keep her hands off Draco that day. She was almost always touching him, and she smiled the whole day.
Sasha was washing her hands in the girls toilet when Hermione Granger walked out of one of the cubicles. She had a smug look on her face, and she stepped up to the sink beside Sasha. Sasha scrutinized her face with a frown.
"Why do you look so self-satisfied, Granger?" Sasha grumbled. Hermione gave a little sigh.
"Oh, Harry told me about your twos little incident in the corridor," she grinned. Sasha raised an eyebrow.
"So what? It was an accident, Granger," Sasha bit her lip angrily. Hermione shrugged.
"And he said that Malfoy dragged you off when he saw you," she paused. "He doesn't treat you very well, does he?"
Sasha glared at her.
"Keep your nose out of my live, Mudblood! And you're wrong, so stop insulting him or I may just attack you next full moon," Sasha snarled. Hermione laughed, annoying Sasha even more.
"Oh, right. The full moon is in a fortnight, Sasha. Nervous?"
Sasha stopped as she was about to open the door to leave. She walked back and looked at Hermione with hurt eyes. Hermione looked down at her feet.
"I'm sorry, Sasha."
"No, it's okay," Sasha apologized. "I am terribly nervous!" she felt tears build up in her eyes.
"I've been terribly rude and cruel to you, Granger. I'm sorry," Sasha sighed. Hermione patted her on the back.
"It's okay. You're a Slytherin, what could I expect? Although I don't see why you are one, you aren't like them at all," she smiled. Sasha grinned.
"I know, I'm different from them. But somehow I'm proud to be one of them. Hey, do you remember first year? On the train?" Sasha asked suddenly. Hermione nodded.
"Yeah, why?"
Sasha sighed.
"When I first saw Draco, I knew I would love him one day. When I first saw you, I knew I wouldn't like you, because I was jealous of you at first," Sasha blushed. Hermione laughed.
"Why were you jealous?" she asked. Sasha sighed.
"Because Draco spoke to you before he spoke to me," she giggled. "It was silly, I know, but I thought he liked you."
Hermione laughed.
"Yeah, right. C'mon, we've got a Defense Against The Dark Arts class to get to."
