Chapter 6

The Day We Met

Sitting on a bench alone in a wizard's park, I find myself thinking. How would my life be changed if I have been old enough to join the ranks of Voldemort. Not that I really wanted to but if I was forced. Would I now be in Azkaban? Or would I be dead?

Just now a woman sits on my bench to my right. Well, it isn't really my bench, it's the park's bench.

"Do you mind if I set here?" the woman asks.

"Not at all." I stare at her noticing her features. She has jet black hair with the bluest eyes I've ever seen. Her skin is a light olive color. She has a small, petit frame with a gorgeous smile. She's wearing a peach colored skirt, pale flats and a baby blue button up shirt. The shirt is unbuttoned with a simple but delicate tank top underneath. Her accent is of some foreign language that sounds to me like…

"Do I have something on me?"

"Oh, no, sorry I was just thinking." I pause. What should I say? "Um…My name is Draco Malfoy. What's yours?" I stick out my hand.

"My name is Tessla Bonaparte and no, I'm not related to Napoleon," she laughs. Her laugh is even beautiful and light. She puts her hand in mine and I briskly run my lips across her knuckles. I can still be a gentleman in the presence of a lady can't I? I mean, Father's gone, Mum's remarried and I've got a new sis named Giselle. Times have changed.

"It's a pleasure to meet you," she says while blushing.

"The pleasure is all mine." Her blush deepens. What can I say, I still have the Slytherin King charm.

"So tell me about yourself, Draco."

"There's nothing to tell really. I just graduated from school and I'm trying to start a business with a friend of mine."

"Did you graduate from Hogwarts?"

"Um...ah.."

"Draco, we're in a wizard's park. I come from Beauxbatons."

"Yes, of course, your accent sounds French. Yes, I did just graduate from Hogwarts. Now, tell me about yourself," I ask.

"My family is French but somewhere down the line, an ancestor of mine went to America and married a Native American. That's where I get my skin tone from, but that was at least 30 generations back, or back at the beginning of America at least. They moved back to France and no one's lived outside of Europe since. My mum is a muggle and my dad's a wizard. And I'm currently unemployed too," she laughs.

"I know that this is a bit abrupt but what are you doing this Saturday?"

"Nothing really."

"Well I in two days, on Saturday," she nods her head, "my little sister is being Christened and then there's a party afterwards. Would you like to go with me?"

"Draco Malfoy, I, Tessla Bonaparte, would love to go with you on Saturday."

"Great!" For the first time ever I have a smile on my face. No one, not even mum, has ever made me smile. I was beginning to doubt that I even had a heart.

"Draco, do you believe in love at first sight?"

"Um, I'm not quite sure."

"Should I walk in front of you again?" She starts to laugh.

"I'm lost."

"Do you believe in love at first sight or should I walk in front of you again?"

"…"

"It's a saying. I was asking if you believe in love at first sight. Or should I walk in front of you again to see if you were in love. It would then be 'love at second sight'. Do you get it?" (A/N: Sorry if you guys don't get it but that's as simple as I can put it. It's a saying we have down here where I live."

"Oh, hahaha, no, maybe you should walk in front of me again." She gets up, walks in front of me, and sits down on my left.

"I might believe in love at first and second sight but if you'll walk in front of me for a third time then I'm sure I can believe."

"You are so cheesy. Can I ask you something?"

"Sure."

"Will you come have lunch with me?" she asks.

"I would be honored, my lady," I say. I stand up, bow to her, and offer her my arm.

"Why thank you kind gentleman," she says taking my arm.

Waking up from my dream I start to think about it. That was the first day that I met Tessla. It was also my first day to laugh, smile and as Damien puts it: being alive. I used to not believe in love at first sight, but I believed in it the first moment I set eyes on Tessla.

A/N: Hey Guys! Thanks for all the GREAT Reviews from:

Thanks for all the reviews and I hoe that I got everyone! :-D

I'm really sorry that this chapter is short but that's all that I wanted to put in it. I hope you guys understood the quote "Do you believe in love at first sight or should I walk by you again." It's one of my favorite quotes and I just had to put it in. lol I'm currently writing chapter 7 but my wrestling cheerleading matches (games) just started up last week and I have matches that last till around 9 every night…so on some Tuesday's and Thursday's I won't be updating. But I'm writing as fast as I can! :-D I hope that you guys like this chapter!...I was supposed to tell you guys something but I forgot and it was important…O! If I said in an earlier chapter that Tessla had died a year before then please tell me! B/c I made a boo-boo and she's supposed to have died 2 years (well, roughly two years, could be less depending on how you want to look at years and dates). I checked all through out my story but I couldn't find if I had put 1 year…so if anyone finds it PLEASE tell me so I can change it! Thanks! :-D
