Chapter Two: They Meet Again
-
Narcissa rolled her eyes as she felt a few glares on her back as she entered the Slytherin common room. She knew that a few of the younger years and maybe even one or two of the seventh years hated how easily she could come and go from their house. She was a Gryffindor for crying out loud! Why is she getting so easily excepted?
She saw Pearl at the top of the steps leading to the girl's dormitory waiting for her and she shrugged off her thoughts of being 'accepted' in Slytherin and changed them to wondering whatever she should tell Juanita for the next bit of 'story time'. She knew that the name would either make Juanita laugh or torture her and have her promise she won't tell anyone the name for it.
When she got to the top of the steps Pearl nodded to her.
"Hey, what's up with this whole 'is it 9:45 yet? Is it even NINE than?' stuff I've been hearing from Juanita?" Pearl asked, looked at Narcissa expectantly. The blond girl shrugged, getting the hair off her shoulder, before answering.
"Severus and I are telling Juan a story on how our parents got together, but we're sort of making it with a fairy tale twist. She apparently wants to get down with her roots lately." Pearl nodded.
"Hmm… does that have anything to do with her outburst earlier? I only heard about it but from what I did hear, she hit all the houses good." Narcissa nodded. They were outside of Pearl's room, she didn't need to share with anyone now being a sixth year Slytherin, who get their own dorms in third or fourth year. They didn't want to go inside yet, knowing that Juanita was there.
"Yeah, I wish I was there too. Sadly however, all I get was Sev-"
"Professor Snape?"
"Yeah, sorry, anyway, all I get was him coming and finding me and Severus immidiately, telling us to go and calm Juanita down." Pearl nodded.
"And the story came from that?" Narcissa nodded. Before Narcissa opened her door however, Pearl stopped her.
"Fill me in on the story so far, I don't want to be lost when you to begin telling it." Narcissa nodded.
"Alright… It's basically about a poor girl with a big family getting the attention from the Evil Prince, who wants to piss off his father and the best way to do that would be to be overly friendly to the girl, blah blah blah. What do you think?" Pearl rolled her eyes.
"It was great until the blah blah blah part. Kind of makes the story stink." She opened the door, ignoring the face that Narcissa made at her.
"Hey Juan. Your sister's here."
"I can introduce myself you know."
"Sorry your highness."
"That's right! So now all we have to do is wait for Sevvie?" Juanita nodded.
"Yup!"
"Great…I bet he's gonna be late, since I'm early. Things like these suck." Just as she said that, Severus opened the door and walked in looking pissed.
"I hope you all know the utter torment it took to get here," all three girls began to glare at him as he ranted. "Cat calls! Whistles! Everything while I was coming up here! And you want to know what the worse thing is?" Nacissa rolled her eyes.
"What Sev?"
"The fact that I'm not going to get any ac-" He couldn't finish because Pearl threw a pillow into his face.
"Come on you guys. It took you both forever to get here, now let's sit down and hear this story that I've heard so much about." Severus nodded, deciding he'd take up narration.
"Alright…let's see… okay, we're at the part where his plan to get the girl to help him began to move. Neither would see each other for a while until they both had to go to school…" Severus looked around the room quickly, "which looks remarkably like this one! Anyway…"

Ginny blew some hair out of her eyes. The train in front of her was just about ready to leave - and she still wasn't on. She went straight to the back compartment, praying that no one would be in that one. For some reason everyone always wanted to be in the front… She shrugged that thought off as she went over and began to climb the steps. It took her a moment but she was able to get her cart up before the door closed, anyone outside at the moment wouldn't be to lucky at getting on.
She quickly sat down, not wanting to be standing when the first lurch of the train came. It came about two minutes later and once it happened Ginny was back up on her feet and putting the trunk into the compartment. From what she could tell she was the only one in the compartment, until she heard an 'oomph' from behind her when she began to sit down…
-
"…now the girl was just doing what she could to get to school with no worries…"
"Hakuna Matata." Juanita said. Severus nodded.
"Exactly, and we need to keep you away from muggle movies, now, the prince was in the compartment she was in but neither knew it. The prince was asleep, the girl wasn't very aware of her surroundings. Both however became VERY aware when the girl sat on the prince… He had to refrain himself from making weight jokes and-" Narcissa hit the back of his head before taking over.
"-making any rude comments in general when he saw it was the girl… after a few moments the girl sat back down away from him. She wanted to leave but she knew that the prince would see that as a sign of defeat - she didn't need that."
-
Ginny twiddled her thumbs quietly, wondering why the hell her luck was what it was. Why couldn't she have good luck every once in a while? Why did things like this always have to happen to her? And why can't she have enemies who she can have a backbone against? She hardly had a backbone to a new born puppy, let alone Draco Malfoy. She could feel his gaze on the back of her head and she wondered silently what the hell it was he was looking at.
She was surprised that he hadn't said anything since she accidentally fell on him. She gave him a softly spoken sorry before retreating over to the seat she was at now. She looked at the window, slowly forgetting that Draco was even there.
A few minutes passed and the food cart came. Draco grabbed some chocolate frogs off of it and some of Bertie Bott's beans, stashing them and a frog or two into this cloak.
"Weasley." He said, she turned and looked at him, her hands raised instinctively when she saw something fly towards her. When she saw it, she looked at him suspiciously but began to peel at the wrapper of the frog anyway.
"Thanks." He shrugged.
"Don't mention it - literally… How was your eh…summer?"
-
"The prince was able to begin to build some trust with her. Mind you, she was suspicious as she possibly could've been, but she was giving him a chance because he never really did anything to her. A few snide comments throughout the years but that was it. By the time they were half way to school, most of their summer had been revealed to each other." Narcissa looked at the ceiling, wondering what she should say next. She looked at Severus and Pearl for assistance.
"Gah, I've got to get back to my dorm. Sorry guys." Severus said standing up looking at his watch disdainfully. Narcissa looked at him oddly.
"It's hardly ten, why do you need to go back now." Severus shrugged.
"I promised Brian that I'd go over some quidditch plays with him." He grinned cockily at Narcissa who rolled her eyes. "Wouldn't want to give the Gryff's a chance to beat us." She punched him in the shoulder lightly.
"You guys don't stand a chance!" Pearl rolled her eyes at the two of them.
"Come on you guys, I need to get some sleep and I'm sure that Narcissa needs to get back to her dorm now…" Narcissa nodded.
"If I don't, they'll accuse me of giving away Gryff quidditch moves to the enemy…I really hate my house sometimes…" She stuck her tongue out in disgust, following her twin out the door.
When the two of them left, Pearl looked pointedly at Juanita.
"Don't you have another dorm to be in?" Juanita rolled her eyes but hugged Pearl out of habit and then left the room, leaving Pearl to go to sleep.
