Disclaimer: I don't own Draco (I wish I did though....) but I do own Hazel so no stealing my creation!

Thankyou's to Cory, crew chick, and all you other people who actually read my story and reviewed... not very many people. So on with the show!

Rated pg-13, bordering on R, for language and mature situations.

Hazel followed the trio to a black carriage with skeletal looking horses; they were quite scary (A/N this is from the 5th book where Harry sees the creatures after he's seen some one die). 'Wow this is way different from my old school! Those winged things are freaky looking...' thought Hazel as she silently surveyed the carriage before entering inside.

When they arrived inside the castle an old looking witch with emerald robes came over to Hazel and took her hand shaking it in welcome.

"Welcome to Hogwarts! You must be Hazel Stirling, the transfer student from Nebulous. I'm Professor McGonagall. Well I have to go get the first years sorted then I'll come back to get you." And with that the woman opened a pair of towering oak doors and stepped through followed by a mass of 1st years.

"Hope for Gryffindor, it's the best house in the school," said Ron and he was backed up with agreement by Harry and Hermione and a few other faces she didn't know.

"Ok, but what ever house I get... I'll be happy with," said Hazel. She was nervous, after seeing the first years do it, about being in front of the whole school sitting on a stool with an old hat on... being the oldest one to do that.

"Oh no. You want to be in Slytherin, with me Miss Sterling. We could get to know each other better," said the handsome blond taking a hold of her waist and breathing on her neck with those last words.

A shiver went up her spine. She knew she enjoyed this but she wasn't about to let him see it.

"If you'll excuse me, I have to go disinfect myself. I'm allergic to things like you," Hazel said testily staying tough removing his hand from her waste.

"Tisk tisk, one day that acid tongue of yours is going to get you in trouble... big trouble Miss Stirling," he said with that annoying smirk of his, and stalked off into the great hall with his two gorilla like friends following like loyal dogs.

"Come on lets go before we miss dinner completely," said Hermione still aghast at Draco for being so forward with Hazel.

Hazel walked up to the front table where the last of the 1st years were getting sorted. Professor McGonagall had Hazel sit on the stool and everyone got silent and looked up at her. Hogwarts didn't get very many transfer students. A tattered old wizard's hat was placed on her head and Hazel jumped because it started talking to her.

"Hmm where to put you? You've got brains... and wit. A bit shy around new people but you've got an acid tongue that could burn through metal... still your loyal to the people you love and fight hard against your enemies," said the hat. "I guess your best in GRYFFINDOR!"

The table where her 3 friends sat went into an uproar of cheers and exclamations, and the table where Draco sat booed loudly competing in volume with the Gryffindor table. And with that she got up and her eyes met with her three cheery friends over at the Gryffindor table. All of a sudden piles of scrumptious looking food appeared right in front of her on the table so every one started eating and introducing themselves and talking about summer. Hazel was glad things weren't too awkward her being new and all. These people seemed rather nice and she was truly happy for once in a long time.

As soon as she was full she just sat there looking around and then she saw Draco, laughing talking with people all around him... she had to admit he was dead gorgeous and she didn't mind him holding her like that right before dinner...

Draco looked up and met her dazzling hazel eyes starring at him. He smirked knowing he was going to have fun with this new feisty kitten. She saw this and looked down at her empty plate blushing.

Soon dinner was over and each house went off to their respectable chambers. Hazel followed Hermione talking about how much fun this year was going to be and how they were going to have fun times in the dormitories doing girl stuff. Ron and Harry just looked ate each other and both muttered "girls..." and rolled their eyes following the chatting pair.

When Hazel arrived at the girls dormitories she immediately started unpacking her stuff, moving into her new bed and such. She took out a picture of two smiling waving people, her parents, in a silver frame, kissed it lightly and placed it on her bedside table. And when it was time to sleep she laid awake looking up into her canopy pondering the events of the day... finally drifting into a sleep where she dreamed of the silver blond boy.
