Harry was staring at Cailin, disbelief all over his face. She, a Slytherin, but she had seemed so
nice. He was shocked. He watched her as she walked warily and took a seat next to another
seventh year. Professor Lupin looked shocked as well, since he had met her before and thought
she was another Gryffindor in the bag,
"How the hell is she in Slytherin?" Ron whispered to him, but Harry couldn't reply, he was
starting to think of how they could not possibly be friends. Gryffindor's and Slytherin's were the
biggest rivaled houses in the school. He was so caught up in thinking that he missed
Mcgonagall's speech A/N Good thing cause I could not think of one at the moment. He piled
heaps of food on his plate and tried to eat, but was interrupted by someone tapping him on the
shoulder.
He turned to see that it was Cailin, her sightless eyes staring at him as if they could actually
see him. Remus Lupin was behind her, and Harry guessed that he must of led her over here. "Can
we talk?" She asked quietly, and Harry nodded and got up to follow her and Lupin. They opened
the entrance to the Great Hall and slipped out.
Cailin was freaked. She was in Slytherin? The hat had said something about her wanting to be
able to prove herself, but why did the hat have to put her in the most-hated house. She knew that
Harry was as shocked as she was, for there was a certain stiffness about him, which she found out
when she accidently brushed her hand against his.
Finally we reached a deserted classroom and hurried in, while Lupin waited outside. "I know,
how the hell am I in Slytherin?" I sighed when the door shut behind us, Harry let out a sigh.
"I don't know, but we can still be friends, we don't have to let house rivalries get in the way of
friendships right?" He asked, but I heard the doubt in his voice, and knew that it would be hard to
keep him as a friend and also have friends in Slytherin.
"Well, we'll try at least, good night, Harry." I sighed, and Remus gripped my arm to lead me
back to the hall, but just before we reached the door, I turned back to Harry and left him with
these final words "Porque mi, Harry?" And got a little laugh out of him when I used the spanish
words, for he didn't know what I said. Remus laughed a little and led me along the corridors.
"So, Professor, can I get house points if I answer you in class in Spanish?" I joked, and Professor
Lupin just chuckled a little.
"Now, your to meet Hermione outside your common room at 8:00 and she'll lead you to your
classes in the morning. Mr. Malfoy will lead you to your classes in the afternoon and to dinner,
and you are free to do what you want after that, just don't get lost." He said as we reached my
new common room. I thought it was funny how he called Hermione by her first name but Draco
by his last name.
"Night Professor." I yawned as he said the password and the portrait swung open to allow me
admittance. He helped step through the portrait and I met a girl from my year that led me up to
my new room. I barely heard her as she talked to me, all I could think was that my life could not
get any worse.
The next morning I slowly dug through my trunk for my robes. I found them and took them out,
laying them smoothly on my bed. As I did this, the emblem for the Slytherin that had appeared on
my robes once I had been sorted caught the attention of my finger. I felt my way around the snake
that intertwined with the S of Slytherin. I felt so sad at the moment, and my mind replayed the
memories of my dead parents faces slowly in my mind, torturing me. I pushed the thoughts out of
mind and slowly pulled the robes on. I felt my way down the stony staircase of the Slytherin
common room, more like a dungeon.
And then the unavoidable happened and I tripped on one of the stairs, I fell and would have
surely kept tumbling down the staircases and gotten seriously injured if it had not been for the
strong pair of arms that grabbed around my waist and steadied me.
"You might want to be more careful, pretty girls like you don't want to be going around and
ruining their good looks by breaking their necks."The voice of Draco Malfoy sounded in my ear.
I felt his breath against my ear, and smelt the sweet-smelling colon he was wearing. I leaned my
head back and it touched his chest. His hand ran down through my hair and stopped at my
shoulder, where he laid his firm grip.
"Well, it's a good thing my knight in shining armor was here to save me, wasn't it?" I flirted. He
sounded so sweet that it was too hard to resist. He released me from his grip, though very
unwillingly.
"Well, if saving means I get to stare at your beautiful face then I might have to save you more
often." I laughed at this. He took my hand and led me out of the common room where an
impatient Hermione stood. "See ya Cailin," Draco said, and he released my hand and walked
away to his first class of the year.
"Well, ready for class, you missed breakfast, but I got your schedule for you." Hermione said, her
tone more brisk then when I first met her.
"Thanks, I was busy tripping down the stairs, what have we got first?" I asked, trying to stifle a
yawn rising in my mouth.
"Transfiguration with the Hufflepuffs." Hermione answered, her voice softening a bit. 'Maybe
she realized I'm not going to be snotty just cause a talking hat said I'm in Slytherin.' I thought,
and following the noisy sound of Hermione's shoes as she led me to my first torture of the day.
By the time dinner came around, I was so tired I could barely lift my feet. I had had three classes
in the morning: D.A.D.A, Transfiguration and Potions. Then I had hastily eaten lunch and had
two more classes after that: C.O.M.C and Astronomy. If you ask me, that is way too much
learning for one day.
Draco had my hand in his, and let me tell you, I held no objections to this. He was supposed to be
leading me to the Great Hall, but once I felt a breeze on my face I realized that he must be
leading somewhere else.
"Draco, where are you taking me?" I asked, wishing not for the first time that I could see the
beautiful and unique landscape of Hogwarts.
"I figured I'd be the perfect Head boy and show you around the outsides of Hogwarts, were going
to have a picnic by the lake, wait till you see it!" He got so caught up that he forgot that I
couldn't see. I must have looked uncomfortable, for he realized his mistake. "I'm sorry, it just
came out..." He trailed off, I moved my hand up and felt along his face until his cheek lay against
my palm.
"It's alright, I see the world in different ways, by the sense of smell and touch and feeling, it's
much like seeing the world with you hands and nose and ears rather then your eyes." I explained,
and he pressed his hand to my hand, which still lay on his cheek.
"Cailin, I think I might like you. It sounds so weird since we have only known each other for two
days, but the moment I saw you, you were the first person in a while who hadn't eyed me
resentfully or said something about how much you hated me. I think I know why you were put
into Slytherin, you want to prove that you are useful, that just because you can't see doesn't mean
you can't fight. You want to prove yourself as much as I want to prove myself." He said. And my
hand left his face. My question was answered, this was why I was in Slytherin, because I wanted
to prove to everyone that I could overcome my handicap and that I was as useful as the next kid
in line.
"Draco, I like you too, and you know what, no matter what you will have my support. Every time
you speak I hear the regret and honesty in your voice, and I know that you are sorry for what you
have done in your past, and you will have a better future, I know it." I finished as I removed my
hand from his cheek. He put his hand on my face and before I knew it he was moving my face
closer to his.
I felt his cold, dry lips touch mine. He kissed me, and you know what, I wanted him so badly at
that moment that I kissed him back. It was awkward at first, as I didn't have much experience.
But it soon became passionate and we let each others tongues explore the others mouth. We
forgot about the picnic as we were lost in each other. And as the sun went down around us, we
were wrapped in a passionate kiss that would have lasted a lifetime if we hadn't have needed to
breathe.
Hope you guys like it! It's the first kiss I have had to describe, so I don't know if it will sound
okay or not, but enjoy! Please read and review!
!Blue Flame!
