The days and weeks passed rather quickly. Draco and Elvira became best friends and were getting closer and closer to each other. Elvira sent owl to both Angel and Blaise and the three became good friends, Blaise being her best friend. Elvira had talked and gotten closer to Narcissa and looked at her as her mother, but wouldn't call her that for the sake of her real mother. Elvira and Lucius however didn't talk to each other as much because he was always locked up in his study working away on something. The day finally came when Draco and Elvira would be leaving for Hogwarts. Narcissa went into each of their rooms and woke them up starting with Draco at around 7:30am.
She sat down on the edge of his bed and gently shook him. "Draco, sweetheart. It's time to get up you have to get ready to leave for school today."
Draco moaned in protest, "It's to early."
"Well that's what you get for staying up late the night before. Now come on get up. What do you want for breakfast so that I can have it ready?"
"Pizza."
"Draco you are not having pizza for breakfast."
"Oh alright, Pancakes." He said.
"That's better." Narcissa smiled and left to go down to Elvira's room. She opened the door and repeated the same thing as what she did with Draco. As Narcissa was leaving she turned around and asked what she wanted to eat.
"Bacon and eggs." Elvira told her as she rolled out of bed.
Narcissa left and Elvira went into her closet, which was kind of empty, due to the fact that she packed most of her cloths in her school trunks last night. So she pulled out a pair of black baggy pants with neon green stitching, and a black tank top that said 'Drink Bleach' written in neon green, she grabbed a pair of black boots. She took them into the bathroom with her and took a quick shower. She gave her pajamas to Gem when she came out and took her trunks downstairs and sat them by the door, a house elf came in got them and took them out to the limo. Elvira went back upstairs to Draco's room. She knocked on the door and didn't get an answer. So she went in and found that the room was empty and that his bathroom door was shut. So she sat down on his bed and waited for him.
A few minutes later Draco emerged from the bathroom in black cargo pants that he 'stole' from Elvira and a black t-shirt. When he saw Elvira sitting on his bed he smiled at her and she smiled back. "See I told you that my pants would fit you, but no don't believe me."
"Haha very funny." He said walking over to his dresser, getting his hair gel and walking over to his mirror.
"Draco, why don't you try and not wear hair gel in your hair? You look better when it's hanging down." Elvira suggested to him walking over to stand beside him.
"You sure?" he asked her not really knowing weather to ditch the hairstyle he had had for a long time. She nodded, "Alright if you think so."
"I know so." she said smiling. When Draco was finished getting ready the two walked downstairs together to the dinning room and sat down with Narcissa.
"Lucius wont be able to see you two off today. He had to answer an important call from the Ministry. Sorry about this dears." Narcissa told them cheerfully.
"It's alright mum." Draco said. Without the presence of Lucius the three ate a light breakfast. When they finished breakfast Draco and Elvira headed up to Elvira's room.
"Come on kids, it's 9:30 we have to leave now!" Narcissa called down the hall to Elvira's room. She heard a yell from Elvira then some of Draco's laughing. What is going in there?" She asked herself and walked down the hall to Elvira's room.
Just before she reached the door, the door burst open with Draco running out and a yell of "Draco! You little slimy git!" Draco hurriedly closed the door and leaned on it to prevent Elvira from getting out.
"I told you I'd get you back, didn't I?" he was yelling back at her and then he saw his mother standing there. "Oh hello mum." he said trying to act as if nothing had happened.
"Draco what did you do to Elvira?" There was some banging on the door.
"DRACO LET ME OUT OF HERE RIGHT NOW OR I'LL…I'll….I'll"
"You'll what?" Draco called back to her through the door.
"I"LL HEX YOU THAT'S WHAT!"
"Draco let her out now." Narcissa said smiling at their antics.
"Alright." he said backing away from the door and letting Elvira out.
Elvira stood there red in the cheeks from yelling. "Draco I should hurt you so bad right now."
"Eli what did he do?"
"While I wasn't looking he found my Diary and opened and started reading from it."
"Draco…." Narcissa said looking at Draco.
Draco just smiled, "I was just messing around with her."
"Mrs. Malfoy, if you would let me can I put my own punishment on him, it's nothing severe?" Elvira asked Narcissa, and Draco's expression turned one to the look of fear. Narcissa nodded. "Thank you, wait right here Draco." Elvira walked back in her room and came out with her diary, and whacked Draco right in the back of the head with it. Narcissa tried to suppress a laugh, Draco held a hand to the back of his head and rubbing it, and Elvira looked satisfied. "Ok I'm done."
"That hurt." Draco said.
"Ok children, it's time to leave or you'll miss the train and then what I am going to do with the two of you?"
The three left the Malfoy Manor and got in the limo. It was an hour ride from the manor to King's Cross station, and hour of torture for Draco as him mom and Elvira laughed about him getting hit in the head. They reached the station at 10:30 the driver pulled out their trunks and loaded them onto some trolley's. They walked to the wall between platforms 9 and 10 and Narcissa looked at the two, with tears starting to form in her eyes.
"You two be good and listen to your teachers. Don't get into to much trouble and owl me whenever you get the chance. Have fun and take care of each other. I'll miss the both of you so much." She pulled them both into a hug and started crying. After about 10 minutes of her crying she pulled away from them. "Draco, make sure that you show Elvira around and I'll try and come to one of your Quidditch games. I love you both."
After they said their good byes to each other Draco showed Elvira how to get onto the platform. Elvira was reluctant at first and after some encouraging from Narcissa she finally went through it. Elvira emerged onto Platform 9 ¾ and looked around her. There sat the shinning red Hogwarts Express with students running about with their families standing around, some crying others saying good-bye. Narcissa came in through behind her and Elvira finally came out of her daze and a bellboy came up to her and Draco taking their trunks and leaving their bags with a pair of school robes to change into. Elvira followed Draco to the back of the train and after yet another set of goodbyes the two got on the train. Elvira walked right behind Draco as he led her down the hallway to the very back compartment. Draco turned to Elvira and smiled at her and then opened the door.
Inside sat seven people. They all looked up at the door as soon as it was open and saw Draco standing there. Draco walked in and Elvira followed, he closed the door and watched as the others moved around so that the two could sit next to each other some thinking that Elvira was Draco's girlfriend, but Elvira sat next to Blaise and Draco next to Adrian.
"Elvira this is the rest of the Quidditch team, you haven't met yet. You remember Galvin, Alex, Adrian, and Blaise." They smiled at her and she smiled back. "Our other beater in Goyle, this is Marcus Flint." Flint had yet to graduate from school. "our other chaser, and this is Crabbe, he just hangs out with us." Draco told her pointing to them in unison as he called out their name. "Guys this is Elvira Rosier, she's a transfer student from Drumstrang." They all either nodded or said a hello to her.
Draco turned to face her and said to her, "All you need to do is go all the way down to the end of the hall to the teachers compartment to be sorted. It'll say teachers so don't worry, I'll be waiting in here for you. Alright?"
She nodded and headed out the door. She walked down the hall passing students of all ages, some giving her weird looks at the way she was dressed. A whistle began to blow signaling the departure of the train, as it slowly began to move throwing some first years off balance, Elvira however maintained hers. She reached the end of the hall to a compartment that had a bronze plaque on it that read:
Head Teacher's
Elvira gently knocked on the door and waited. The door opened and their stood and old aged looking woman with green eyes and dark green robes. Her gray hair was tucked up under a green pointed hat. "Come in Elvira. I am Professor McGonagall, this is Professor Dumbledore." She said indicating an elderly looking man sitting at a desk in deep purple robes, and half mooned shaped glasses. His long gray hair hung behind his back and his long gray beard hung down his chest. "I am going to sort you into your house, there are four of them, Gryffindor, Slytherin, Hufflepuff, and Ravenclaw. Please sit down and I will place the sorting hat on your head." Elvira sat down in a chair that was placed in front of the desk and Prof. McGonagall took an old and tattered gray hat off the desk and placed it on Elvira's head. Elvira sat there listening to the hat whisper in her ear. After a few minutes of the contemplating which house it finally shouted out the house name.
Back in Draco's compartment the Quidditch team sat their joking with each other and catching up on things.
"What's with the new hair style Draco? You just don't look like Draco with it like that."
"Elvira. She said it looked better down."
"So Draco what's with Elvira, is she like your girlfriend or something?" Flint asked him.
Draco started choking on the bottle of water he was drinking from as soon as he heard the question. With Draco doubled over and coughing like no tomorrow Adrian started to slightly hit on his back to stop him from coughing. "You alright there?"
"Yea I'm fine." Draco rasped out. After his fit was over he looked over at Marcus. "No she is not my girlfriend and thank god. I would already be dead if she were. She's cool and all but tough and independent. This morning she hit me in the head with her diary. No way in Hell could I handle a girl like that."
"But you have to admit she is pretty hot. I mean damn, I thought she was a goddess when I first saw her at your house Draco, and then when she got in the pool in that little black bikini, I thought I was gonna die." Galvin said.
"What?! You saw her in a bikini, Galvin?" Marcus said.
"Yea, so did Adrian and Alex." Galvin smirked. "And Draco got to see her everyday during most of the summer."
Marcus looked at the four guys. "You suck so much."
Draco did have to admit she was hot and had a beautiful personality to him. He was pretty sure that he liked her more then a friend, but not to sure if he loved her, but he also wasn't so sure if she felt the same way about him.
"Yea and hopefully she will be sorted into Slytherin and join the Quidditch team." Draco told them.
"She plays Quidditch too? I think I already like this girl." Flint said. "What position did she play?"
"Lead chaser and Captain at Drumstrang." Draco said.
"Well we best watch our backs Draco or she might get our positions." Flint told Draco. Draco had taken over the position as Captain on the team and Flint just remained chaser.
"Yea you guys better, member we are best friends and I could tell her what you all just said." Blaise smiled at them.
"You wouldn't?" the whole compartment shouted at her.
"Ok ok I wont."
Just then the door slid open and they looked up to see standing there Elvira looking solemn. "Draco don't kill me."
"Why? What house did they put you in?" Draco asked standing up.
"They put me in Gryffindor and you have been going on and on how you hate them."
"WHAT?!" Draco yelled. "Nononononononono, they can't do that, you're a Rosier. You should be a Slytherin, not some punky ass little Gryffindor. No we are going right back down there so that you can be re-sorted." Draco grabbed her hand and started to drag her out the door, but stopped when he heard giggling. He looked at Elvira to see her laughing at him.
"I love it when you lose your temper. You idiot do you honestly think that they would put me in Gryffindor? They put me in Hufflepuff." Elvira said to him.
Draco wised up this time. "Ok, I'm not falling for it this time. What house did they put you in?"
Elvira's face broke out into a smile and she hugged Draco. "I'm in Slytherin!"
"That's what I thought." He said.
After everyone had congratulated her they sat down and talked and joked around about things that had happened and Draco's little fit. They asked Elvira about herself and life and how it was attending Drumstrang and Beauxbatons.
About a half hour since Elvira came back the compartment door slid open. There stood a boy around their age with black messy hair, green eyes, and round glasses. Draco immediately stood up at the site of him, and Elvira saw that they were the exact same height.
"Potter." Draco spat. "What the hell do you think you are doing here? Coming to get tortured already this year are we?" Elvira could clearly see that these to were rivals amongst the school. She saw that all the rest of the Slytherins threw death glares at Potter, and for good reason she thought. It was because of the Potters that Voldemort died, and the Aurors found her parents and killed them.
"Shut it Malfoy." Harry said back to him.
"Brave this year aren't we Potter." Draco smirked.
"Malfoy, McGonagall and Dumbledore want to see you. Now" Potter said rather forcefully.
"Oh what did you do Potter? Get me in trouble already?" Draco asked smugly.
"Just come on Malfoy. I don't want to deal with you right now." Draco smirked yet again and left the compartment with Potter.
"God I hate him." Marcus said about Potter.
"No doubt. Him and his little dream team with Weasley and Granger." Galvin said. He noticed that Elvira was keeping a lot quieter then before. "What's the matter Eli?" She had grown accustomed to that nickname from everyone now. "Do you have like some personal grudge with Potter?"
Elvira nodded. "Because of him Aurors found my parents and murdered them before my eyes then took me away from everything I knew my life has been hell since I was six but now its been getting better by the day since I moved in with the Malfoy's." she said quietly some tears forming in her eyes. She turned her attention outside to look at the scenery.
"Damn that's tough." Adrian said.
"You have no idea." Elvira replied looking back at them.
Galvin saw Elvira's distress and changed the topic back to Quidditch. A few minutes later Draco came back into the compartment. "Ok I award Slytherin house 150 points due to the fact that Elvira is in it now." He said, showing them his prefect badge, which he pinned next to his silver Quidditch Captain badge.
"Can you really do that Draco?" Galvin asked.
"No, we aren't at school yet." he laughed. He sat back down and the group started chatting again about none other then Quidditch.
Three-forth of the way there the trolley cart lady came by and opened the door and asked them if they wanted anything. They all got some form of candy.
"Oh, and dears. I think it would be a good idea to close your window before it starts to rain and change into your school robes." The woman told them and left.
Outside was growing dark for the oncoming rain was getting closer. "I think the old woman might be right." Alex said. He and Goyle closed the window just before it started to pour down raining.
Elvira stood up and reached for her bag that was on the overhead shelf and pulled it down. "Well I am going to take the woman's advice and go change before everyone else does at the last minute."
Elvira walked out of compartment and headed to the bathrooms. She walked through the door and into a stall. She pulled out the robes and noticed patches on them that were green and silver, with a green serpent in the middle and on the top written Slytherin. 'Cool, must have been magic' she though sarcastically. She quickly slid her robes on and put her other cloths in the bag, she didn't like the robes much for the fact that it was a skirt and she preferred pants. She walked out and over to a mirror where another girl stood. Elvira started to fix her hair and noticed the girls patch said Gryffindor. The girl had dark brown eyes and brown hair that was slightly bushy, that she was messing with.
The girl looked over at her and said "I'm Hermione Granger. I'm Gryffindor, and you?"
"Elvira Rosier, Slytherin." she replied, 'Isn't that the girl that the guys said that Potter hung out with?' she though to herself.
"Oh." Hermione said now glaring at Elvira.
'Whatever' she thought and walked out down to the compartment that she was sharing with her new friends.
She walked in and put her bag back up top and sat back down next to Blaise and Galvin. Marcus started to look her up and down now being able to see her form that was always covered up by baggy cloths. She grew a little uncomfortable under his gaze and wrapped the black outer robe around her.
When the trip was nearly over the boys, waiting to the last minute, waited in line to get changed in their robes and finally started coming back to the compartment. When everyone was back in the compartment the train stopped in Hogsmede Station, and a voice came over the intercom even though there were none on the train.
"May I have your attention please? Welcome to Hogsmede Station, and Hogwarts. All first years are to report to the docks with Hagrid and all other students are to report to the carriages to be taken up to the school. Thank you."
Elvira and the rest stood up to leave. Elvira went to reach for her bag, but it was gone, and she looked confusedly at Draco. "It's magic silly. You don't have to worry about it." He told her. They exited the train into the pouring rain and ran to the carriages. The two jumped into the nearest one and soon Adrian and Marcus joined them, shaking their heads to get the excess water out of their hair and getting Elvira and Draco wet in the process.
"Bloody raining out there isn't it?" Adrian stated ringing out his soaked shirt onto the floor.
"Sure is. Isn't it wonderful?" Elvira said looking out the window. She just loved the rain.
"Lovely." Marcus told her, looking at her fondly. Her hair was soaked and some strands hung in her face and clung to her skin. She was literally soaked head to toe and didn't seem to mind at all.
The carriage started moving up the road to the castle. The four stayed quiet through the little ride. When they reached the castle they all got out Adrian giving Elvira his hand to help her down. She thanked him and moved closer to Draco feeling more comfortable around him. All the students went through the entrance seeming to automatically to dry as soon as they passed through the doors.
