Chapter one: Surprise
The alarm clock flashed 9:14 and everything was quiet. The room was still and dark and nothing moved. It was like the whole house had no one living in it. And then it turned to 9:15 and the alarm sounded and awoke a young man in the bed beside it. He groaned as he rolled over and hit the top button on the alarm to make it turn off. He looked up at the ceiling for a minute and then got up. Standing at 6'2" he walked over to the window wearing nothing but his boxers. He had a very nice body. A six pack and muscles. He yawned covering his mouth as he looked at the sun and the yard below him. He then turned and headed out of his room, toward the bathroom. He passed a Head boy badge on the nightstand and Hogwarts robes, books, and his wand packed and ready to go. He would be returning to Hogwarts that morning. On the walls were his favorite qudditch teams and Wizarding bands. He walked into the bathroom and shut the door, locking it. He turned on the water to the shower and got a towel ready. He took off his boxers, letting them fall to the ground as he stepped into the shower. About half an hour later he heard someone yelling up the stairs for him.
"Draco! Man, are you ready!" Blaise Zabini yelled up to him. Draco rolled his eyes as he got the towel and wrapped it around his waist.
"IN A MINUTE!" Draco yelled down to him. He sighed as he whipped the steam off the mirror with his hand so he could see his reflection. His golden blonde hair was slicked back and his icy blue eyes were hardly open. He should have gotten more sleep last night. He shook his head as he headed back to his room to get changed. It was 10:10 when he came out with his trunk and things. His wand was in his back pocket. He made his way down the stairs and into the living room where he saw his best friend Blaise sitting on the couch waiting for him.
"'Bout time. I thought I was going to have to take your badge and go to Hogwarts without you." Blaise said standing.
"Yeah, I would have so hurt you." Draco laughed.
"Come on then, the car is out front awaiting to take us to the train." Draco nodded as they both went out to it.
On the train
"I have to go to the Head's compartment. I'll catch up with you later man." Draco said as he nodded to Blaise and headed off to the Head's compartment. He wondered who the Head Girl was. Granger no doubt. He didn't know what he would do if he had to share a room with the mudblood. He shuddered as he reached the door. He took a deep breath and opened the door, expecting to see Granger. Instead he a girl sitting with her legs crossed. She had her face hid with an issue of "Teen Witch" magazine. But from what Draco saw of her he liked. She had on muggle clothes, a tight pink shirt that says "Dream on" on it and a blue jean skirt. He could see she had blonde hair, but that was all.
"Looks like this year won't be that bad after all." He whispered and closed the compartment door. The girl heard it and put down the magazine. Draco's jaw dropped. He wanted to hit himself for thinking those things about her.
"OH MY GOSH! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE, SANDERS!" He yelled. Star had a look of pure disgust on her face
"I am Head Girl. Please tell me you are lost." She pleaded.
"No... I am Head Boy." Draco replied. "This is great! The one thing worse than being stuck with Granger the entire year is being stuck with you! This is so unfair!" Draco sat in one of the seats and rammed his head into the back of it.
"Do you think I like this!" Star asked. "As if! Stuck in a room for an entire year with Slytherin's Prince!"
"Well it isn't going to be a ball sharing a room with Gryffindor's Lioness either!" Draco shot back at her. "I think the best thing to do right now is not talk for like... ever!"
"Smartest thing that has ever came out of your mouth!" Star said sitting on the other side. She rolled her eyes and picked back up "Teen Witch". Draco and Star sat there not talking until it was time to change. Star got up and headed for the door.
"Wh...where are you going?" Draco asked.
"To change, not that you need to know." Star said as she walked out. He shook his head. He had no idea how he was going to get through this year. She hated him, it had always been that way. It all started back when they were in second year. After a while of sitting there Draco thought it was best to change into his robes too.
Star's POV
She went straight to the compartment where Harry, Ron, and Hermione were.
"Her...her...hermione... I have to talk to you!" Star said about in tears. Hermione looked at the boys and they took a hint and left. She sat down in one of the seats. "Oh Hermione, Draco Malfoy is Head Boy! I can't do this! There is no way I can survive this year with him as Head Boy!" Star said with tears falling.
"Star, it will be okay. He can't be all bad. Give it a chance." She said at an attempt to calm her down. It didn't work.
"HERMIONE! Did you not hear me! DRACO MALFOY! You should have been Head Girl... I...I...I can't do this!" Star said again. A million things were going through her mind at this time. But all she knew is that the Draco thing wasn't going to work. She just couldn't deal with the fact that she had to share a room with him.
"Star, breathe. It will be okay. Just stay away from him as much as possible. Everything will be fine, I promise. You will get through this. Now go change and get back to your compartment." Hermione told her. Star nodded taking in a deep breath. She changed and looked into the mirrior. She dreaded going back to that compartment, knowing he would be in there. She sighed and made her way back to the compartment as slow as possible. She opened the door and closed it behind her. She turned to see Draco with his shirt off. She felt her face get hot and her cheeks get red. Damn, he is hot! She thought. She then shook her head. Yeah he is, but he is still a jerk! She reminded herself. Draco turned to see her.
"What are you staring at?" He asked folding his arms. Star wasn't listening though. She had noticed something on his back.
"Malfoy, what did you do to your back?" She asked simply looking at him.
"Nothing! Do you ever knock?" Draco asked trying to change the subject. Star wasn't letting go of it that easy though, she walked around him so she could see his back.
"Hmmm..." She said. It looked like a giant tiger had taken its claws and clawed Draco's back to pieces. Star ran her finger over the cuts. He winced. "Oh, sorry." She said. "I can... um... help that if you like. I mean clean it for you, I have the stuff in bag." She said pointing over to a little black backpack looking thing.
"I don't need your pity nor your help! I am fine!" Draco said, angry that she had walked in like that. She went over to her bag and took out a mini first aide kit anyway. She took a alcohol pad and started to clean his cuts. Draco yelled out in pain. "OW that hurts!" He turned and grabbed her wrist. She looked up at him, fearless.
"It is the only way to clean it and let it heal faster!" Star explained, she didn't even try to pull her wrist away. Her amazing green eyes staring into his icy blue ones.
"I told you, its fine!" He said releasing her with a jerk.
"Malfoy! Why won't you let me help you!" Star said getting frustrated with him. She wondered how he had gotten the cuts, but didn't ask.
"Because I don't need a little Gryffindor blood traitor like you helping me!" Draco snarled. The words hit star as if he had taken the back of his hand and slapped her across the face. Sure she had heard this before, so she didn't know why it shocked her so much. Star just sat down and they finished the ride to Hogwarts without another word.
Sitting at the Gryffindor table felt so good to Star. She had missed it so much over the summer. She loved her family but missed Hogwarts. She was caught up in conversation with Harry, Ron, Hermione, Ginny, Dean, and Neville when Eric Wood called for the Great Halls attention. The sorting had already been done. Ok, I bet you all are wondering what is going on? Draco is there and Dumbledore isnt? Well you see when Draco ran he was caught. It turns out he was being forced to be a Death Eater because they were threating to kill his mum if he didnt and since he didn't kill anyone he was let go, but still being closely watched. Eric Wood is the new Head Master.
"Good afternoon, students and welcome to Hogwarts for hopefully a great year!" Eric said. He then went over the rules and introduced Shane Mason and Remus Lupin who were going to teach Potions and Defense Against the Dark Arts. "Ok, one last thing before I let you go to your dorms. Hogwarts has something huge happening this year and I want to explain it to you..."
