Chapter 5: New "acquaintances"

CHRIS?!"

Chris turned his eyes on Ginny and his face lit up.

"Oh my god, Chris what are you doing here?" she asked getting up

"Wait a minute, Chris as in your boyfriend from Rome, Chris?" said Melanie not bothering to keep her voice down

"Yes, that's him." she said stepping over the bench

"What?" said Ron getting up after hearing what Melanie said

"Ron sit down. Now you're going to make a scene" said Hermione pulling him down to his seat.

Chris walked over to her and embracing her making 3 boys very angry with this.

Ron turned the color of his hair and glared at them. Draco tensed and tinged pink at his checks, while Harry bit his lip and gripped the edge of his seat giving Chris a nasty disapproving look.

*I can't believe he's here. This is perfect* she thought as he let go of her and gave her a peck on the cheek. As he took her hand she glanced over at the Slytherin table, which was behind them and spotted Draco.

*Oh no! This isn't good. You can't like 2 people at the same time can you?*

"It's nice seeing you again" he said

"Chris what are you doing here? Why didn't you ever tell me?" she asked with a smile on her face.

"I just found out today, someone backed out at our school and so did the school so they picked me ." he said

"I presume you 2 have met before." interrupted Professor Dumbledore with a smile

They had completely forgotten they weren't alone.

Ginny scanned the Hall. Her eyes first flicked to her brother.

*Opps, guess he knows now* Then behind Ron was Harry

*Oh my god, what's up with Harry? He looks mad......oh my god after all this time it took another guy to make him jealous and fall for me. Wow well his lost, I have other things on my mind.*

Then to Draco .*He looks mad, this isn't good. He is cute but he's in Slytherin. Anyway Chris is here now*

"Well, I think Ginny has already introduced him, but I shall introduce him myself....Ladies and Gentleman, I present Christopher Raldonado of The Roman School of Magical Arts." announced Professor Dumbledore

The Hall clapped politely for him as Professor Dumbledore spoke again

"Mr. Raldonado, if you would please step forward to be sorted."

Ginny squeezed his hand and gave him a nervous smile. Then let go and took her seat.

She was remembering what Leyla had said when she was describing him to them

'he sounds like a Slytherin' *Shit this isn't going to come out good*

"There are 4 houses at Hogwarts, each with their own unique personality and history. They are Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw and Slytherin." said Professor Mcgonagal

"Is there a test or something?" he asked

"No. I will place the sorting hat on your head and you will be put into the house that the hat calls out." she said

"Okay" he said allowing her to place the hat on his head.

The hat stood on his head for about 5 minutes until the slit open from the brim of the hat and it shouted

Ginny held her breath.............................

{A/N: I was going to leave it as a cliffhanger but then I though naaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh}

"Slytherin" shouted the hat

"Oh no!" said Ginny

People gasped, but Ron and Harry had grins on their faces.

Draco was shocked *well now we know were she found that attitude of hers from. Lets see what I can find out about this guy*

Chris got up and Professor Mcgonagal gestured him to the Slytherin table, where to Ginny's horror sat next to Draco.

As Chris sat down he waved at Ginny. Ginny reluctantly gave him a

small smile and waved back.

Chris wondered why she looked so depressed but his train of thought was

broken when someone had introduced themselves.

"I'm Draco Malfoy" said the boy to the right of him.

"Hey, I'm Chris. Nice to meet you." said Chris holding out a hand

Draco took it "same here" he replied *here's my chance* but he was beaten to

his chance.

"Do you know Ginny?" he asked

"Weasley? Well not exactly" he said a little taken aback "I've seen her around, why?"

"Oh just wondering, she's my girlfriend-well technically we broke up after she left

to come back here, but I think we are still going out." said Chris

*So she's still available-well not for long at least*

"oh I hardly noticed" he said in an airy tone "but you do know about the history of

Slytherins and Griffindors don't you?" he asked slyly

"no why is there a rivalry or something?" he said beginning not to like

this boy as much

"Yea, I very big one, its been going on for as long as the school has been opened.

Oh wait a minute Ginny is in Gryffindor isn't she?" he said as only realizing this now.

"Well your school is going to have to get over it" Chris said coolly he really didn't like

this Draco person at all. To Chris he seemed like a preppy guy, if that was at all possibly

"Well break away but just to let you know I warned you, people, well Slytherins and Griffindors mostly won't be to happy about it" sneered Draco

"Whatever you say Malfoy" retorted Chris

*He just called me Malfoy, well there's a new one in my book*

Chris scanned the Hall looking for Ginny and found her. He got up and crossed the Hall

turning every head in the hall.

~*~

Ginny had been watching Draco and Chris the entire time.

Watching every gesture Draco made, ever feature of his face, instead of Chris. She knew she should have been watching Chris but there was an uncanning resemblance between the two.

Just Draco caught her eye more with is white blonde hair and dazzling liquid silver eyes.

She was looking over everything that had happened over the past year with him.

She didn't know what she wanted. She had had a great time with Chris,

knowing it was rite for them to be together. But with Draco it was pure lust and

temptation between them. She didn't know what to do. Watching Draco

had changed her mind about everything. The conversation they had on the train and the kiss....

It wasn't all just to piss her brother off, she had wanted him to kiss her before Ron had stopped him. It was human nature, having something you can't have, forbidden love if you may call it.

She brook out of her train of thought when she saw Chris get up and walk across the hall

towards her.

*oh no not now Chris not now! Think fast Ginny think fast........

hmmmmmmm....got it!*

She stood up and started to walk towards Chris meeting him in front of the doors into the entrance hall.

"Can we talk?" she asked

"Sure" he said grasping her hand "were to?"

"Somewhere....else" she suggested

They were about the leave the hall when Dumbledores voice interrupted them.

Ginny immediately let go of Chris' hand

"Before you to leave, Ginny I'm still expecting you to show Mr. Raldonado around the castle

or may I be corrected" he said

"um sure professor but, I'm not in any of his classes" she said comfortably

A buzz began in the hall becoming louder

"what! he's not even her age?" said Ron in outrage

"RON, sit down." said Hermione

"Oh, I merely forgot, well lets she....Christopher, I've observed that you have acquainted

yourself with Mr. Malfoy he is in your year so-" he said

"NO- um I mean professor, its ok I'll show him around, its fine with me" she interrupted

Dumbledore

"It's ok Ginny, you will still have plenty of time with Mr. Raldonado" he said and turned to look at Draco.

"Mr. Malfoy can I count on you to show our new student around?"

Draco looked at Ginny catching her eye. Her eyes pleaded that he said no

but he thought better *oh Ginny your so quick to judge, but your so right*

"Sure Professor" replied Draco giving Ginny a wicked grin

Ginny glared back at him mouthing the words 'your going to get yours Malfoy'

and turned on her heal and stormed out of the hall.

Chris was about to go after her when Dumbledore interrupted him

"Before you go after, The head of your house needs to speak with you."

At this Professor Snape stood up. Chris walked up to the high table and began to talk with

the Potions Master.

Draco seizing the opportunity told Crabe and Goyle he was going to the dungeons and told them to leave him alone. Being everyone was still eating dessert, Chris noticed him getting up and glared at him

*what was he up to* Chris thought then Draco gave him a wicked grin and a wink and

dashed out of the hall in Ginny's direction.

*he's going after Ginny. Shit*

~*~

Ginny didn't know were she was going she was just to pissed to think.

She kept turning at corners and turning down corridors.

*Oh he's such an asshole. This is unbelievable, why did I have to say Chris wasn't in any of my classes. Stupid. Now Draco Malfoy is showing him around going to do god knows what, probably just to piss me off. Well 2 can play at that game. And I have someone who knows how to play the game better then you Malfoy*

She finally stopped at a dead end.

*Oh shit where the hell am I?*

Probably being absent from the castle for a year made her forget or that she wasn't paying attention were she was going.

*ok just go back the way you came Ginny, you'll find a way back*

She walked down the corridor and turned right.

Bamm!

She had ran smack into something and hit the floor hard. At first she thought she had hit a wall but then she saw a pair of feet in front of her face

"Umph, what the hell if your problem? Watch were your going you dipshit"

She turned to look an she who she had ran into.

"Draco. What the hell do you want? Better yet what are you doing here?" she

snapped

Draco had his trademark smirk planted on his face his eyes dancing down at her.

Ginny stared *what is up wit him, why is he looking at me like that?*

"Well if your not going to say anything at least help me up" she shot at him

He gently put his hand out is down and she took it. He pulled her up abruptly and

'accidentally' pulled her up against his body.

Ginny tensed up against him not knowing what had happened, then she relaxed

*wow he's got a nice body, oh my god Ginny snap out of it!* she pushed away from him and staggered a few paces from him, regaining her balance against the stone wall.

"What is with you, why did you that, why are you here?" she stammered just realizing what had just happened........it wasn't that bad *oh no not good*

"Too many questions at once, Ginny, 1st of all I came here to talk to you" he simply stated leaning against the wall and crossed in arms.

*Oh my god, he is hot!*

"When are you ever on first names terms with me, and what exactly do you want to talk about? How do you know I will listen other wise even answer?" she said slyly

"Because if you don't answer my question then I know the answer to it." he said smoothly

*God were did he learn to talk so sexy*

"Fine, ask me your question." she said

Draco grinned and looked her over from the corner of his eye

*wow she is pretty, and not to mention hot, this may work I'm just not sure if I'll get a straight answer out of her*

"Draco! Are you checking me out?" Ginny said noticing what he was doing

*Shit, a little to long there Draco*he thought

"Why did you kiss me on the train?" Draco said changing the subject

Ginny was flabbergasted, eyes wide with shock

Draco's face lit up

*she does*

Ginny grinned

*so Draco you do wanna play lets see.........*

"Why were you 'going' to kiss me on the train" she said with an evil grin

Now it was Draco's turn to look shocked

Ginny watched him and his eyes stared rite into hers

Draco had his mouth open apparently trying to think of something to say

Ginny out of no where bursted out laughing

Draco's eyes widened with shock

*oh fuck me, I did it again, she keeps making me look like an idiot*

Then Ginny wanted a finally, this was her chance to start what she was going to start. She straighten herself and got up from the wall she was leaning on and simply just walked away, laughing her head off as Draco was left behind gawking after her with a small grin creeping around the corners of his mouth.

The game was on.
