Okay Chapter 2, Yay! This time I actually let Thia, my beta, check it! Lol
Remember her fan fiction 'I Still love you" on by thiacapricorncutie. Special shout to Lina (Missy). (Don't worry; you'll get your tabs on!) Anyways, on with the story!
I was just getting out my book and Mp3 player when the compartment door slid open. Startled, I looked up and saw two people, a girl and a boy. I had seen around enough to know that they were twin sister and brother, and that they were Malfoys. Well, having my parents and family constantly talk about how they didn't believe the Malfoys when they said they were no longer on Voldemort's (before his demise) side and had switched to the good side made me apprehensive at these two people, but I didn't say anything.
"Hi, err… I'm Nadiya Malfoy, and this is my twin brother Liang…d'you mind if we sit in here?" she said in a soft voice. Nadiya had long black hair, which she wore in a plait, down to the bottom of her back, and light gray eyes. She had very pale skin, and small nose. She leaned forward and shook my hand.
"Hello, I'm Kimberly Weasley. You can sit here if you want to, I don't own it." After saying that I thought it sounded kind of rude, so I gave a little smile.
Liang, noticing this, chuckled as he put their trunks onto the rack. He settled down next to his sister who was sitting opposite me, and leaned back. There was an awkward silence, so I asked what Houses they were in, even though I already knew.
"Well I'm in Hufflepuff with you, and-" Nadiya got cut off by Liang.
"And I'min Ravenclaw. My…well our birthday is on January 11th. We live at the Malfoy Manor. Anything else you need to know?"
It could have sounded rude if someone else had said it, but I could tell that Liang wasn't trying to be offensive.
"Not really. My birthday's on March 9th, my parents are Bill and Fleur Weasley, and I have two younger sisters." I said, just surfacing my life.
"Oh, you're so lucky, I've always wanted a sister. I mean it's great to have a twin brother, but you can't exactly talk about…" she trailed off as I gave her a knowing look.
Nadiya and I talked and talked the whole morning, from family to schoolwork, and our pasts.
"I went to one of the new Magical elementary schools in the U.S. and I guess I was pretty popular there. Some of my friends now went there with me, and have come to Hogwarts because most of the Magical American high schools are rubbish. My mum and dad lived here before Liang and I were born anyway, and they both went to Hogwarts, so we moved back here. It took a while to get used to, and I still don't know where I prefer, here or America. Anyway, enough about me, what about you, where did you grow up?"
I was so busy thinking about how long Nadiya could talk without taking a breath, that I didn't realise she had spoken to me.
"Hey, Kimberly! Kimberly!" she called, waving her hand in front of me.
"Oh, right, yes…what did you say?" I smiled apologetically afterwards, hoping she wouldn't mind.
"Where-did-you-grow-up?" Nadiya repeated, very slowly, as if I was a five year old.
"Oh. Well I was born in France, which is where my mum was born and grew up, and where my dad was working at the time. I lived there until I was 9, then we moved here for two reasons. One was because my dad's job moved here and the other was because most of my family lives here, and my father decided he wanted to be closer to them. I was home-schooled by my mother when we lived in France, so I didn't really get much social interaction. I guess that's why when I came here to England, and went to St. Albus's Wizarding Primary, I had a bit of trouble making friends." A bit of trouble was an understatement, but I didn't want her to think I'm a self-pitier, because contrary to what a lot of people think, I dislike self-pity, it doesn't do you any good.
A few moments after I had finished speaking, the lunch trolley rolled around. I declined food, as I had made myself lunch for the journey. Liang also declined, and pulled a paper bag out from his satchel, but Nadiya said she wanted a pasty. She took her purse from her pocket, and it was filled with gold, bronze and silver coins. I had to look away, to keep my mouth from dropping open any further than it already was. She paid for her pasty and sat back down. For a while we sat in silence each munching on our food. Then we started up a heated discussion about the best Quidditch teams. Liang and I were on Chudley Cannon's side and Nadiya was a major Cyclones supporter. We were not un-evenly matched however; Nadiya was argumentative enough for more than one person.
9999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999
The first thing I saw when my eyes opened was the beautiful sight of Hogwarts castle. I looked around, slightly dazed. Nadiya was next to me, haven (I figured) woken me up.
"Finally, you're awake. You sleep strong. Anyway, get up and get your things, we've arrived and we need to get on a carriage," she said, while pulling her and my trunk off of the rack.
Luckily I had put on my robes before I feel asleep, so all I had to do was grab my knapsack, and my trunk which Nadiya was pushing on to me.
"Where's Liang?" I asked groggily.
"Right behind you Kimberly," I heard him whisper into my ear.
Despite my sleepy state I smiled and turned around.
"Call me, Kim or Kimmi, Kimberly's too long," I said, smiling coyly.
But the moment had ended. He was soon jostling Nadiya and me out of the compartment door, and out of the train.
While I was being pushed along into the carriage by Liang and Nadiya I thought abut why I had been flirting with Liang earlier on, from before I had fallen asleep. It's not that I would say I like him… per se. He's just a person that makes you feel comfortable, and makes you laugh a lot, kind of like his sister. However, he is fit, that I cannot deny. Although usually I'm not a fan of dead straight hair, his dark brown hair really complimented his hazel eyes, which made him an…irresistible package.
Feeling slightly dirty at the thoughts that that arose, I forced my mind onto lighter subjects. Nadiya was pouring gossip from her group of popular friends into my head, so I concentrated on that.
"…And so Laura and I think that Ryan still likes Penny, although he also gets on like he likes Teagan, so we don't really think that he'll mind if Quynh breaks up with him, which she's planning to do this week. Although, recently I've been noticing Calem flirting with Penny quite a bit, although its common knowledge that he and Drake are in love with Quynh. Quynh on the other hand, doesn't really like anyone that she's told me of, and she tells me practically everything, so I figure the guys who like her are going to have to wait. Less boys like Teagan than before, but she likes this guy from Durmstrang, Randy Jay. So I think that's pretty much it. Oh, and I like a guy called Beau Harris, but don't tell anyone, because I want him to think I'm not stalking him, so that maybe I'll have a chance with him in the future. I know he used to like Teagan, but I think that he's over her now, and I have noticed that he's flirted with me a little bit, so hopefully he'll give me a chance someday." She sighed happily, obviously hoping that 'someday' would come soon.
I was amazed at how much could happen in a year, and I knew that that had not been all of it, because Nadiya had been talking a good five minutes before I actually tuned in.
"So I'm going to ask everyone else about letting you hang out with us, because I had always thought you were kind of (no offense) stuck-up and a bookworm. Now I've actually talked to you, you're actually pretty nice, and I think that if I could convince everyone else that you're nice then you could hang with us, if you want to. Do you want to?" she looked at me expectantly, as if there was nothing better in the world that hanging out with her and her friends. But, I figured that posh-looking friends is better than no friends, so I agreed.
"Okay, cool, so I'll talk to them during the Feast." She said, just as we pulled up to Hogwarts. We got off the Carriage and went to the Great Hall. We were some of the first people there, so Nadiya and I took our seats on Hufflepuff's table, and said goodbye to Liang. She then leaned over and whispered to one of her friends
"Pass the message along that we have to have a group meeting tonight. We'll meet as soon as the feast ends in the Room of Requirement."
Right, okiedokie, I have a little something for you to do, when you REVIEW. With your review, just leave you guess as to who Nadiya and Liang's mother is. She married Draco Malfoy, and there are some other hints in the story. Think out of the box, it's not a very famous ship.
Thx for reading
