Chapter Five

It had been three weeks since Draco had made up that special ring while talking to Crabbe and Millicent in his fathers pub. He was ready for school to start, as the sight of the manor was becoming very old rather quickly to him.

Draco walked out of his bedroom looking down the hall for any signs of his father none so far, where was he. He walked slowly down a set of stairs, and into the kitchen where the back of his father's head came in to view. He walked around the table to face him head on before he said any thing.

"Father I'm heading off to go towards Diagon Alley, do you want me to get you anything?" asked Draco.

"No, I'm fine go ahead, oh and Draco... stay out of trouble." Said Lucius.

"Alright I will father." He said, walking out of the kitchen, and heading for the family study.

As he got there he just decided to travel by Floo powder, it would make it quicker and a lot easier on his part.

Draco came out in Flourish and Blotts fireplace, brushing off most of the ashes and soot carefully. He walked out and decided to go to the pub for a drink. He walked in and saw two lovely ladies, who both looked to be around sixteen years old talking and laughing.

Draco thought they were both quite pretty indeed. Especially the blonde (he has a thing for blondes...he does love himself after all.) 'Wait.' He thought. 'Those are two of the girls coming to the school.' He thought taking the drink being handed to him. Draco decided he'd take a chance and try to talk to them.

"Hello ladies, buy you a drink?" he asked, they looked up at him.

"Is that the best you can do?" asked the blonde, he looked astonished with her answer, and he wasn't use to being turned down so quickly.

"I've heard better, boy have I." Said the brunette, as he smirked at her.

"I'll give it to you but really what kind of pick up line is that?" one of them asked.

"Well, even if you have, neither one of you has yet to answered my question." He said, Mya looked to Cherry and shrugged her shoulders.

"I like Ron." She said as a reply.

"I'll take that drink then." The blonde replied looking him over.

"Alright, hold on then." He said walking to a counter.

"What didja say that for?" asked Cherry.

"What? Its true, I do like Ron." Said Mya pointing out the facts.

"So, who do ya think he is?" asked Cherry nodding to the boy standing at the counter.

"Dunno, probably some pure blood who thinks he's better then the rest, why? Do you like him? He is your type after all," asked Mya looking out a window.

"I don't know there's just something about him, he seems very likeable. He's like one of those dark, mysterious, and hansom guys you always hear about, but never see." Mya gave a weak laugh.

"Speak for yourself I want some information before I'd trust him, but yeah that's how it looks isn't it." Cherry rolled her eyes as the boy came back over.

"Here you go." He said placing a drink in front of her.

"Thanks, ...what's your name?" she asked.

"Malfoy, Draco Malfoy, and you are?" he asked seeing her look up.

"Cherry Miller, and Mya Evans." She nodded to her friend.

"Malfoy... I've heard that name before it's very familiar." Said Mya thinking, and a smile appeared across his face.

"No doubt you haven't, Malfoy's a very powerful name, and were a very old family." Said Draco.

"It has nothin' to do with power, but now that you mention it, wasn't your dad a Death Eater for you-know-who?" asked Mya. Draco stared at her with an unreadable look in his eyes.

"Yes, and if it is all the same to you, I'd rather you not talk about my father! Especially since I will probably be taking up the same job as him soon," Draco said.

Mya's jaw dropped she couldn't believe what she just heard, and Cherry was smiling she didn't see any kind of problem with his idea.

"Sorry Draco, didn't mean ta offend you or anything to that account." She said. He glared at her then turned back to Cherry.

"Anyways, if your friends done testing her knowledge on my family history, maybe you'd like to come with me, I have a few things I need to do still." Draco said looking at her.

Cherry cast a look over at her friend who was now looking out the window once again. Mya looked over at Cherry with a disapproving look on her face, and then started twirling her necklace.

"I don't know, I don't wanna leave Mya alone." Said Cherry nudging her friend under the table.

"No, it's okay, really go ahead." Said Mya giving her meaningful look.

"Are you sure?" Cherry asked smiling.

"Yeah, positive, look who just walked in the door." She said pointing to Ron and his friend Harry.

Cherry rolled her eyes but smiled, she was glad to see her friend liked a new guy finally, after Mike it took her awhile to adjust again. She also glanced over at Draco who was now sending daggers at the boys with his eyes, and she wondered why.

Ron and Harry walked through a few stores, yet they both seemed pretty surprised that the girls didn't even give Harry a second glance at finding out who he was. Getting tired together the two boys walked into a small little pub. Ron looked around the bare little pub, and noticed to his delight Mya, then to his disgust, Malfoy. He hit Harry's arm lightly and pointed their way.

"Look, Malfoy." He said. Harry looked up, then hit Ron's arm.

"Look Mya." Ron glared, and they walked over; Mya grinned as Ron approached the table.

"Malfoy." Said Ron.

"Ugh, Weasley. Probably dreaming of this place as your home? I know its definitely has to be bigger then your house." He said smirking, Cherry held down a laugh.

Ron jumped at Draco. Harry didn't have time to grab him, but luckily Mya jumped between the two, so it wasn't needed.

"Look Draco, I can see y'all both hate each other, but that doesn't give you the right to talk to him like that! Now just go if yer going!" shouted Mya.

"You wait until we get to school Weasley, I'll get you yet,"

Draco glared at Mya and then Ron, and walked away, Cherry giggling followed behind him outside. Mya sat down, signaling Ron and Harry to sit with her as well.

Ron and Harry sat down with Mya as they watched a disgusted Malfoy walk out the door, with Cherry right behind him. Ron smiled at her; he was surprised, yet happy that she had just gotten rid of Malfoy for them. Harry could see that Ron really liked this girl, and she obviously liked him to from the looks of it so far. So with that he decided he'd head back to the Borrow so they could be alone, until Ron asked the first question and he had to hear the answer to it.
