-CHAPTER THREE-

Off To Hogwarts

Draco walked down the hall and knocked on Jasmine's door.

"You ready, Jay?"

Inside, the girl in question was still running around, getting ready for her first trip to Hogwarts. Standing in front of the full length mirror she took in her appearance. The two of them had to go through Muggle London so she was dressed in muggle jeans and a black tank and jacket, her hair down. She just needed the final touch. Grabbing a necklace she went and opened the door for Draco and held it out to him.

"Put it on me?" He took it from her and she turned around, lifting her hair so he could put it on.

"Thanks," waking back over to her trunk she shrunk and put in the empty owl cage, both hers and Draco's had already left for Hogwarts, locked it and shrunk the whole thing, adding it to her shoulder bag. Turning back to Draco she grinned slightly nervous.

"Let's go!"

The two left her room and walked through the many halls until they came to the main foyer just as Narcissa came in.

"Finally, quick, in the fire!" she ordered, hands on her hips impatiently.

Jasmine grabbed a handful of Floo powder and stood before the flames. "Goodbye Narcissa." Throwing the dust in the flames glowed green. "The Leaky Cauldron!" she called and stepped in, closing her eyes and holding onto her bag tightly.

Appearing out of the fireplace in a dimly lit bar, Jasmine brushed off her clothes, stepping out of the way as Draco arrived behind her. The pair left the bar and entered Muggle London.

Even though Jasmine's father hated muggles he'd once employed a man for a week to teach her everything she needed to know to blend into the muggle world. So unlike Draco, she knew how to get around and wasn't stopping to stare or point at something every minute. Though it was only a short walk to the station, Jasmine was glad they'd left early.

"Draco!" she said angrily, yanking him away from a cardboard cut out of an actor he was poking, trying to make it move.

"What? It's stupid, it doesn't move!"

"Picture's don't move in the muggle world."

"Exactly, as I said before, stupid." He smirked.

Finally reaching the station, without anymore incidents, the pair slipped through the barrier and back into the wizarding world. Taking in the massive red steam engine surrounded by all the happy students and families, exactly how Draco had described it. Jasmine felt her nervousness come back.

"Come on, this way," said Draco nudging her slightly to the left and she turned to see a familiar group of Slytherins, Crabbe, Goyle, Zambini and Nott standing around together.

Jasmine groaned. "Do we have to?"

Draco grinned. "Don't you want to spend time with our darling, backstabbing, evil Slytherins?"

"Oh, well, when you say it like that, how can I refuse," she rolled her eyes.

"Have to hold up appearances, you know that."

"Yeah, yeah, doesn't mean I have to like it though," she pouted.

"Don't have to like what?" came an annoyingly high pitched voice. The pair turned to see pansy Parkinson, the official Slytherin Slut. And unfortunately, Draco's number one fan.

"Having to come to Hogwarts and mingle with Mudblood trash," she sneered.

"Oh," she said, not taking her eyes off Draco and linking her arm though his, trying to pull him away from Jasmine. "So how was your holiday's sweetie? I missed you terribly." She battered her eyelashes and Jasmine had to turn away before she started laughing at Draco's disgusted expression.

He detached her arm from his and stepped back out of her reach. "Not now Parkinson." Jasmine again resisted the urge to laugh at the girl's face and followed Draco onto the train. Finding an empty carriage Draco stormed in and flopped down on the seat, but being a Malfoy he managed to make it look graceful.

"Uh, another year with that slut," he groaned, covering his eyes dramatically. Closing the door Jasmine joined him.

"Don't worry," she smirked.

He moved his hand and opened one eye to look at her suspiciously. "Why? What are you thinking?"

"Well, even though Pansy practically ignores me now, she is not stupid enough to go directly against me. So you simply say that we are seeing each other and she wouldn't dare piss me off and give it a week and it will get back to our parents and they'll stop hounding us about getting together and will give me more time to perfect my little 'we're just not right for each other' speech."

Draco grinned and bumped her shoulder with his. "It's times like these I remember why I hang around you."

Unfortunately, that's when the door burst open and the other Slytherin 6th years burst in, turning Draco's smile into a scowl.

------------------------------

The next two hours were spent listening to everyone talk Quidditch (Zabini and Nott), what new clothes they got (Pansy and Millicent) and what they ate (Crabbe and Goyle).

Jasmine sat in silence just observing everyone and no one dared to disturb her. Not that you could tell by looking at her Jasmine was uncertain about how she was going to act when she got to Hogwarts. Her fathers orders of 'stay out of trouble' were starting to get on her nerves. She had no idea of how she was going to handle things. Should she hide I the background or make a stand next to Draco but not say anything?

Draco leaning over and touching her arm broke her out of her thoughts. "You wanna get out of here? Go for a walk?" she smiled and nodded and the pair stood and left, Draco taking her hand, both of them ignoring Pansy as she glared, seemingly trying to burn a hole in the back of Jasmine's head.

Entering the quiet of the hall Draco sighed. "I cannot believe I use to fit in with them."

"Yeah, well how do you think I felt at Drumstrang? Everyone is evil there!" she grinned, lightening the mood. Draco gave a small grin, appreciating the effort and put his arm around her shoulder and hugging her, an easy thing to do with his 6ft frame against her 5"6.

"It's good to have you here, Jay," he murmured into her hair before pulling back and they began to wander down the train.

Half way down Jasmine was beginning to get annoyed. "What is with people? Can't they mind their own business!" she hissed. As they'd passed the carriages, many had stuck their heads out to look at the pair walking together. Everyone was wondering who it was with the Slytherin Ice Prince.

Draco smirked. "Well, I suppose you must feel pity for them. They are obviously staring because we are the most beautiful and amazing things they'll probably ever see in their insignificant lives."

"Oh but of course, how could I forget?" grinned Jasmine.

"It's ok, see; even you are blinded by how gorgeous I am."

"Keep dreaming, you vain git."

--------------------------

They had almost reached the end of the train when Draco removed his arm. "I just have to go to the bathroom. Be back it a bit."

"Sure, I'll wait here, just remember, you shake it more than twice and you're playing with yourself!" she grinned, leaning up against the window to wait. He rolled his eyes and walked off to find a bathroom. Looking around a bit Jasmine decided to walk around a bit more, she was wandering down the corridor when someone ran around the corner and collided with her, knocking them both to the ground.

Blinking rapidly to get rid of the pain in her head she looked up to become locked in a pair of startling green eyes.

"Uh, sorry," the guy muttered, blushing slightly. To Jasmine's horror she started to blush back as they both realised the closeness of their bodies.

"That's all right," she whispered back.

They both looked down and saw the position they'd landed in. He was on top of her, with one leg on either side of her hips, a hand on her waist, the other holding himself up so he didn't crush her Jasmine had one hand by her head and the other pushed up on his chest. You both blushed even harder.

"Sorry," he said again and pushed himself up.

"Don't worry about it," she said, taking the offered hand as he helped her to her feet. "Thanks."

"Um, I haven't seen you around before." He said nervously.

"You wouldn't have, I'm new, just transferred."

He grinned and she could've sworn she felt her knees weaken. "Welcome to Hogwarts, I'm Harry."

"Nice to meet you, I'm-"

"Jay…" came Draco's voice, cutting her off as he came around the corner, stopping when he saw Harry. His relaxed expression became a scowl. "What do you think you're doing?" he hissed and Jasmine dropped Harry's hand when she realised she was still holding it.

"How is that your business?" said Harry, sounding equally furious.

Needing to diffuse the situation quickly, Jasmine stepped back over to Draco and placed a hand n his arm. "Hey Draco," she said calmly, noticing how Harry looked shocked for a second before scowling even darker. Unfortunately, Draco noticed too and put an arm around her waist and pulled her against him sneering.

"Yes, she's mine so why don't you just bugger off back to the Weaselette."

At this Harry's glare intensified, glanced at Jasmine and muttered "whatever", before spinning on his heel and, storming back the way he came. Once he was out of sight Draco gripped Jasmine's arm tightly and forced her to face him.

"What the bloody hell do you think you are doing?" he hissed furious.

Jasmine tried to pull away. "Ok, Draco, I think you're taking this jealous boyfriend thing just a little bit too far."

"This isn't a 'jealous boyfriend thing' Jasmine! Are you out of your bloody mind?" His grip getting stronger, his fingers were digging into her arms. Pissed at his behaviour, Jasmine let loose a little bit of wandless magic and zapped him, causing his to let go. She pushed him up against the wall behind him and grabbed his tie, pulling him down so his face was level with hers.

"You may be my best friend Draco Malfoy, and I may let you get away with a lot of things no one else would. But no one manhandles me like that. Got it?" she hissed before letting him go. "Now what the bloody hell is your problem?"

His anger slightly cooled Draco took a deep breath to compensate for the air he lost when Jasmine grabbed him and straightened his shirt before hissing.

"That, Jasmine, was Harry Potter, aka the Boy Who Lived."

Jasmine looked up startled. That was Harry Potter? She could not believe it. The one guy she is supposed to stay away from is the first one she runs into. Bloody hell! That was the guy her Father has been trying to kill for 17 years? She suddenly felt very put out. No one has ever mentioned he was that hot!

"Oh."

"Yes, oh," he sneered. Jasmine lowered her head embarrassed. How could she not have noticed that?

Realising how his words had affected her Draco pulled her into a hug. "I'm sorry for hurting you Jay; I just want you to stay out of this for as long as possible, which means staying away from him. I just want you safe."

Jasmine nodded and rested against his shoulder. She knew he was right but she couldn't help but think about those eyes. There was not that many people in the world that could make her feel strongly about anything or anyone other than anger. And now Harry Potter was one of them. His touch had sent shivers down her spine, she had to admit she was disappointed when Draco turned up, but he was right.

She could not have anything to do with Harry Potter.

"I'm sorry," he whispered again.

"Don't be, you're right," she whispered back.

The pair were standing there for a while until a group of Hufflepuffs walked past, staring wide eyed and she decided it would be a good idea to head back to the compartment. A glare from Draco and everyone fell silent and Jasmine was free to get lost in memories of a pair of emerald eyes.

---------------------------------

A few hours later Jasmine awoke to someone poking her in the side. She tried to bat them away but it continued. Getting pissed she pulled out her wand and eyes closed began to recite a very nasty curse when he wand was pulled out of her hand.

"Hey!" Opening her eyes she found herself face to face with a grinning blonde. "Go away Malfoy." She groaned, closing her eyes again.

"Ok, fine then, if you want to sit on the train all night and go back to London, I'll just leave you alone."

Her eyes snapped open and she realised the compartment was empty and the train had stopped. She jumped up. "Shit!" Snatching her wand out of his hand she hurried out of the train to the almost empty station. Draco followed sniggering lightly until she gave him a death glare Snape would've been proud of. The pair jumped into the last carriage waiting for the missing students and it took off, unfortunately it was already occupied. Jasmine sat by the window as Draco slid down next to her and took her hand.

While Jasmine could happily ignore people, Draco had a problem with letting things go without comment so of course he ripped into the pair about your age sitting across from them with the Hufflepuff emblem on their robes.

"Don't you know it's rude to stare?" he sneered and the two quickly looked anywhere but at the other occupants. Jasmine hid a smile as Draco continued to scare the two girls with his glare. When the carriage finally came to a stand still they were already out of their seats and out the door. Jasmine grinned at a satisfied looking Draco Malfoy.

"You sure have a way with people; I can't see why you don't work in public relations!"

"I know, it's just my charm," He smirked stepping out of the carriage and leading them through the crowd, most people quickly moving out of the way after a cold glare from him. This worked until he stopped before a stern looking woman with square spectacles. She looked around Draco and down at her.

"Miss Whitewood, please, follow me, you need to be sorted. Move along Mr Malfoy." Draco gave her hand a reassuring squeeze before disappearing into the crowd. Holding her head up high and ignoring the curious looks from the surrounding students she followed the woman into the castle and into a side room off the Great Hall where a group of first years were waiting nervously. Standing before her was a particularly small boy who looked close to tears, his body shaking.

Silently, Jasmine placed her hand on his shoulder and let out a rush of calm energy. The boy looked up at her shocked and she smiled softly, he hesitantly smiled back and the shakes stopped. Removing her hand she looked up as the woman re-entered the room.

"Once you walk through theses doors you will be sorted into your house, they are Gryffindor, Slytherin, Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff. Whichever house you get put into you will respect, the good things you do, will earn your house points, while when you misbehave you will lose points. Now, follow me." She finished and opened the doors, indicating for them to follow her into the hall.
