Chapter 4
"Poison, two scoops on a cone."
Vanessa:
As I pulled my cloak around me in the bathroom I felt the train begin to slow. An immense feeling of worry filled me till I felt like I was going to choke. They're going to find out. They know exactly who I am; they're just pretending to be nice. I bet their right outside the door, ready to grab me. I started to back up and hit the wall behind me when a voice began talking inside my head.
'Vanessa!'
'What! Who is that?'
'Your father. Now calm down, they are completely oblivious to our plan. Just continue the way you've been acting, you've been very convincing... One might almost think that you were actually becoming friends with them.'
'Don't be ridiculous, their immature and stupid. I'm just a very good actress, that's all.'
'Good. Now go out there and get off the bloody train before they leave without you!'
I felt him leaving her mind. They're really not bad; actually I think that they are quite nice. Too bad for them. I opened the bathroom door and peered out. No one there. I looked in the compartment; all the bags were gone. Good, they'll probably be waiting for me up in the castle. I felt the train beginning to move again. CRAP!! I raced to the door and pulled it open. The train was moving very slowly, but gaining speed every second. After a moment of hesitation I jumped, hit something hard and smacked onto the ground.
Ouch, what did I hit? I looked up and blinked, holding up my hand to shield my eyes. Someone grabbed that hand and pulled me to my feet. Draco. "You almost knocked me unconsience. Are you ok, that was an amazing jump," He talked to me as he brushed grass of his robes. I smiled, "Yah, sorry about that. I was afraid the train was going to carry me back to the station." He chuckled and we began walking toward carriages. Harry, Hermione, Ron, and Ginny were already packed into one, so we hopped into the next one. A man with long dark hair glared at us. Draco started, "Oh, sorry Professor Snape, I didn't see you there." Snape, supposedly a teacher, smirked a bit. "No, it's fine, you may stay," we sat back down across from him, "So, Mr. Malfoy how was your summer?" "Jolly good time, we spent vacation in France. How about you sir? Brew any good potions?" "Yes, quite a few that will do away with some of my less favorable students." When he noticed the look of shock on my face, Snape smiled in a sinister way, his lips curling in a sneer. "So, I see you've found yourself a new flavor of the week, Draco." Me, his "flavor of the week." Right, maybe double scoops of poison. Draco looked as if he might have blushed, but Malfoy's don't blush, and he didn't. Instead he shook his head and corrected the professor, "She's not my girlfriend. We just met today." The carriage drew to a stop and Snape climbed out. "Well then, it will only be a matter of time them, hmm?" With that he turned with a swish of his cloak and marched off to meet a tall woman with brown hair pulled back into a bun.
Draco:
I turned to look at Vanessa. She was looking a trifle annoyed, and maybe a bit sick too. "He's really not that bad," I said to her. She didn't say anything, but her one eyebrow rose considerably. Wicked, how does she do that? As we walked towards the castle I tried raising one of my eyebrows at a time. Almost, almost...damn! Every time one goes up the other goes up too. For the next five minutes I tried to make that sarcastic look, it would look really good with my crooked smile. Just as I had nearly did it I caught her looking at me. Look all you want; I know I'm hot. She spoke hesitantly, "Um, is something wrong with your face?" Oh man... "No, I was trying to do that thing you do with your eyebrow." "She looked at me like I was a nut. "Yah, that!" I spotted Harry, Ron, Ginny, and Hermione at the entrance. "Hey guys!" They came over and we all walked in together. I remember when I used to hate them all, and torment them all the time. Those were the good old days...but now we can't help but be friends, after what happened...In the summer before sixth year Harry and I switched bodies after this freak polyjuice potion accident. (AN: Reference to Cassandra Claire's Draco Trilogies. Best fic ever, must read!) We were stuck in each other's bodies for a while. Let's just say it was a tad bit creepy, but after a while I realized that even some Gryffindor are ok.
Ginny:
We walked into the great hall and took seats to watch the sorting ceremony. I could tell Vanessa was impressed. "Yawn." Man, I'm exhausted. I folded my arms and put my head down, letting my red hair cascade in front of my eyes. After a moment I drifted off into a dream. It was actually more that a dream, it was a faded memory from this summer...
"Hey Ginny come on in," Harry said when he opened the door. "This is ...(dream fades into a later time that week) I sat next to my one true love in the grass. My tears reflected the blue sky and his face. He touched my cheek and whispered, "Don't cry Ginny. Ill see you on holiday." I smiled a bit. "Your right, I'm just going to miss you, that's all." "Ill miss you too." "GINNY!" I heard Harry calling from the house. I stood up and stood up as well. He gave me quick kiss and ducked behind a tree. I walked towards the house to get my suitcases and leave...
"Ginny! Wake up. The feast is over."
DUN DUN DUNNNNN!!! Lol . Who is Ginny's secret boyfriend? Where were she and Harry? Why is she so tired? The madness! You'll all get some more clues next chapter. Big surprises are ahead in the story.
