A/N: Wow! I'm speechless, you guys are so awesome, if I could I would give you something! Thank you Thank you Thank you! Ok this time I decided to do a Draco POV, I feel I should tell you ahead of time, I am introducing a new original character, here is some background info about her; her name is Isabella (Bella for short), she is a transfer student who comes from The Canadian Academy of Magic learning, she is in the same grade as Ginny and lastly she's Draco's cousin. Well hope you enjoy and please review.
Disclaimer: It's not mine, not even in my dreams.
Draco stood waiting outside the Entrance hall for his cousin, he hadn't seen her in years and he wasn't looking forward to seeing her again. The stupid twit is late, should have guessed, she is such an air head. Draco looked over his shoulder at the sound of footsteps.
"Who's there?", he demanded. To his surprise Ginny Weasley was approaching.
"What're you doing here Malfoy? I don't see Crabbe or Goyle anywhere," Ginny responded, "I didn't think you went anywhere without them..." she trailed off.
"As if they would wake up at this obscene hour," Draco replied with a harsh laugh.
"If it's so early than what're you doing up?"
"My stupid cousin is coming to Hogwarts and she decided this was a good time to meet up," Draco snapped, he was growing very impatient, "if she isn't here in ten minutes, I'm leaving and she can discover where to go on her own."
"What's she like?" Ginny asked looking genuinely interested.
"Um, stupid... Her name is Isabella. I haven't seen her since before going to Hogwarts," Draco smiled as though remembering something. He liked being alone with Ginny like this, talking with her. He did wish that it was about something other than his cousin though. A second later there was a loud noise and both looked up startled to see a girl standing there. The girl was tall and slim with the blackest hair they had ever seen ending just bellow her waist. Her skin was pale and her face was pretty with light blue eyes. She squinted at a piece of paper she was holding.
"Draco? Is that you? Who is that your with? Am I interrupting something?", The girl asked clearly confused.
"Ya it's me Bella. This is Ginny Weasley and no your not interrupting anything," Draco responded sounding bored. Yes your interrupting something, why do you always do this to me? Draco thought viciously.
"Hmm," she nodded, "well I was told you were going to take me to get sorted into a house..."
"Right, follow me. You can come too, if you want to that is," Draco stated turning to Ginny, the last thing he wanted to be was alone with Isabella. To his relief Ginny nodded. The three headed toward Professor McGonagall's office. The two walked in an uncomfortable silence both screaming to say something to the other, but not knowing what. Isabella's eyes darted from Draco to Ginny, she smirked, but kept quiet. It felt like it had been ages by the time they reached the door.
Isabella was sorted into Slytherin and given her schedule, the rest of the morning went by smoothly for Draco. In the afternoon he had double potions, as he descended the steps thought back to his conversation with Ginny. He looked up at the sound of his name. Crabbe and Goyle were calling him, he'd walked right past the classroom. Great, I think you'd think I'm turning into them, how many times have they walked by rooms? Too many to count.
"Afternoon class, we are going to have a little test today," Snape greeted the class, a wicked smile upon his face, "lets choose our partners now." And choose he did, Hermione was paired with Blaise, Ron with Crabbe, and Harry with Goyle. To Draco's happiness, although he didn't show it he was paired with Ginny. Everyone moved so that they were sitting with there assigned partners, none of the Slytherins made an effort to move so all of the Gryfindors got up.
"You know you could have moved," Ginny stated as soon as she sat down looking angry. Malfoy just smirked in response. Once they were given the assignment the two got to work, after having been partners for so long they were fairly used to working together.
"You cut all of the roots Weaslette and I'll dump them in, after that you can do whatever else needs to be done," Draco said leaning back.
"No, I think we can split the work, you lazy butt. Oh and call me that one more time I'll tell the whole school you like to dress up in women's clothing and that you're in love with Harry," Ginny responded. Draco looked at her horrified.
"You wouldn't dare," Draco whispered back to her, "that would mean hurting your precious Potter too and no one would believe you. They'd know you made it up as revenge." Ginny waved her hand accidently breaking a glass beaker holding the potion in it. The two watched as the liquid covered the table. It was the end of class and it was clear the two were staying after. Draco rolled his eyes and took out his wan casting a spell to clean it up. Ginny looked grateful.
"Let's get out of here," Draco yawned. The two parted and headed for their common rooms. Draco was greeted by Blaise when he entered the room
"Can you believe it? Making us work with Gryfindors what's gotten into him?", Blaise complained about working with Hermione and Draco pretended care about working with their partners.
"Draco! Can I talk to you for a moment?", Pansy asked batting her eyelashes.
"No," Draco responded looking over at her disgusted.
"It's about your cousin, she went over and ate with the Gryfindors during dinner, more specifically, with Potty and his gang. You need to talk to her, she wouldn't listen to me," Pansy whined. Draco looked at her surprised, she hadn't exactly been friendly with Ginny this morning and she knew that Slytherin and Gryfindor didn't get along, he told her to avoid the three. Stupid idiot, why would she care? He walked over to where she sat reading a muggle book.
"Isabella, why didn't you eat at the Slytherin table," Draco demanded, "Besides, I told you not to interact with the Gryfindors." He was mad now, she was going to make him look bad.
"Oh Draco how lovely to see you again," her voice was drowned in sarcasm, "Que Sera Sera." She turned back to her book.
"What the hell does that mean and will you just answer like a normal person," Draco was losing his patience with her.
"It means what will be will be. The Slytherin's are a dull bunch, where as the Gryfindors are lively and fun. Ginny helped me in all of my classes, except potions, which she doesn't have with me. We've become friends. I can eat where I want, if I want to eat with my friend I can, so leave me be," Isabella slammed her book shut and stormed up to her dormitory yelling down "good night". Draco frowned and headed up to his own, hoping it wouldn't take to long for everyone to fall asleep, it was ridiculous how late he had to stay up some nights.
A/N: Well please review and tell me what you think! Long chapter, eh? I thought a fairly nice Draco suited this story and my style of writing better than a mean Draco. Isabella is going to be in a lot of chapters, she has an important role in this story. However, I will never do her POV.
