A/N: All right, this is my first story so I hope that you like it and please review. If you don't I'll think no one is reading it and I'll stop then it will really suck for the people that are so yeah… One thing before I start: If the sentence is in these it means Draco is thinking and means Reïka is thinking. So…without further ado, here is the story:
: Chapter 1: The beginningDraco was awoken by his house elf on September 1st. 'Good morning master Malfoy; it is time to get up and get ready to go to Hogwarts sir. May I fetch your breakfast sir?' He said in a hushed and squeaky voice. Draco grunted and said, 'Yes, I'll have some bacon and eggs.' The house elf, pleased to be of his masters service, rushed out of his bedchamber and down the stairs almost tripping. The house elf was taking a long time and Draco slowly drifted to a peaceful sleep again but was awaken almost instantly by his mother's voice: 'Please stop Lucius!' she screamed and that was all he heard since he had placed his index fingers in his ears and went down stairs to the dinging room, were he was welcomed by the super slow elf. 'What took you so long!' he bellowed at the cowering house elf. He snatched the plate from its bony little hands, walked over and sat at a quite large table in front of him.
He ate his breakfast silently and ordered a House elf to get his things and put them at the front doors of the manor. As the elf rushed up the stairs, he took out a quill and some parchment, wrote a letter saying good bye to his parents since they were still fighting, and walked out the door thinking how nice it would be to get away from the shouting and his mother telling his father to stop beating her. He looked at the manor one last time, sat in the limo and told the driver to bring him to King's Cross.
Once at King's Cross, he dragged his trunk to a trolley and pushed it to platform 9 and 10. He crossed platform 9¾ and went to find an empty compartment in the train, soon after Crabbe and Goyle joined him. They talked for a little then Draco excused himself and walked out the compartment door. He walked in the hallway, not really paying any attention to where he was going.
All of a sudden he was bent in half since someone run into him and knocked the wind right out of him. He looked up to see who had walked into him, ready to insult them but was met half way by a girl he had never seen before.
She had dark brown bushy shoulder length hair that reminded him of Granger's puffy brown hair but this girl had blue streaks in hers. The girl bent down beside him and exclaimed: 'I'm so sorry, I wasn't looking were I was going.' He wondered what house she was in and when I looked at the crest on her cloak, it was a plain Hogwarts crest so she wasn't sorted.
Great! I'm falling for a first year…A good looking first year
'Oh, I'm so rude! Let me introduce myself,' she started with a perfect, flirty smile. 'My name is Reïka Cotez and when my mother and I went to see Dumbledore, He said I will be in sixth year. What's your name and what year are you in?' She asked giving him that flirty smile again.
YES! She isn't a first year!
He answered something simple, 'I'm Draco Malfoy, in sixth year and my house is Slytherin.' 'House? You live here?' she asked with a very confused look on her face. He explained about the houses, about Hogwarts, head boy and girl, prefects and the heads of houses. 'Fascinating!' she exclaimed. 'At my other school, we were in groups for our ages.' She added.
They didn't notice getting into a carriage and walking up the steps to Hogwarts since they were to into their conversation. Once in the Great Hall, Professor Dumbledore called out to Reïka. 'Miss Cortez, would you please join me at the teacher's table since you are not sorted.' Reïka walked down the middle aisle trying to look at everything at once. Since the first years weren't there yet, Dumbledore decided to sort her now.
'Now, This is Reïka Cortez, she is a new student, all the way from Los Angeles in the United States of America, but before we sort Miss Cortez, I have an announcement. I will only tell you who the prefects and the head boy and girl are tomorrow for my own reasons.' Most of the hall sighed. 'So lets start the sorting.' He said with a smile. 'Miss Cortez,' he addressed himself to her. 'Please come and sit on the four-legged stool, Professor McGonagall will place the sorting hat on your head, and it will sort you into your appropriate house.' Draco kept shifting anxiously hoping that she would be in Slytherin so they could get to know each other more. Reïka walked over and sat on the four-legged stool then the hat was placed on her head.
The hat spoke and made her stomach do a little flip. 'This is an easy one, HUFFLEPUFF!' it said. As soon as the hat finished that word, the Hufflepuff table erupted with cheers that indicated she must go there to sit.
When they were sent to bed, Reïka had already made new friends (Hannah Abbott and Susan Bones); she had talked with Draco as he gave her the tour of the castle; and it didn't take her a long time to fall asleep.
But, down in the dungeons, were a certain Slytherin lay, wide-awake in his bed. Malfoy tossed and turned, unable to get to sleep.
So…your still thinking about that Huffie girl aren't you?
'No! Why would you think that? I'm not I swear! Come on, cut me some slack!' He mumbled but them he freaked as the voice kept pestering him. 'I don't like her!' He screamed. 'Umm… Draco? Who are you talking to?' came the voice of the nimrod, Goyle. 'What are you talking about, I wasn't talking at all!' He lied as Goyle rolled over and fell asleep faster then you could say Merlin. By the time he fell asleep, it was a bit after midnight.
A/N: so…there is the first chapter what did you think? Please review thanks a million!
