Chapter 3: Meetings
Last Time:
"Black Phoenix." She told the picture and the Dragon let out a roar before the picture swung open to reveal a their common.
Now:
Amelia stared in wonder. There before them was a huge room decorated in colors of bronze and silver, of course matching their houses. Their were two couches one with a silver spread and gold pillows and then there was a gold couch with silver pillows. There were also two chairs to go with them each of them matching a couch. In front of the furniture there sat a cherry wood coffee table that contrasted with the black carpet that filled the room. Against the wall there was a giant eighty four inch platinum plasma screen T.V.and beside it a giant audio system that spread all around the room.
There were plants scattered everywhere upon tables of cherry that matched the coffee table. There were eight other doors leading off of the common room each of them with a silver or gold plaque hanging upon it.
"Now there are four rooms each the same except on the right is the females and on the left the males. Miss Granger and Mr. Potter's rooms have been decorated in their colors as have yours Mr. Malfoy and Miss Gaunt." The professor told them.
"There are two bathrooms. One is for Miss Granger and Miss Gaunt it has the silver plaque and then there is another with a gold plaque that one is the boys. The other two doors are closets if you need them." She then turned to walk out the door leaving them all there but before she left she added one last thing.
"I believe that it would be in everyones' best interest if I left Miss Gaunt in charge." Then she was gone and Amelia was left alone with three people staring at her.
"Umm...well I believe, dears, that we should check out our rooms and unpack our stuff. We and then we have to get ready for bed. We have classes in the morning." She smiled at each of them before turning away and walking to the right side of the room to the door with the silver plaque upon it. She smiled slightly when she read it. It was her name and upon it was engraved beautiful dragons. She then twisted the door nob and opened the door.
Her room was gorgeous. It was filled with colors of black silver and emerald green. The carpet was black just like the carpet in the other room. She had three dressers, a bureau, and a desk. In the far corner of the room a huge four poster king size bed stood, its frame made of the deepest mohogany wood that of course matched the looks of her other furniture. The bedspread was silver mostly with emerald dragons printed upon it and the edges of the skirt fringed in a deep green color that matched those of the dragons. Her bed also had curtains she found out as she reached up a hand to rub an engraved dragon along one of the edges, knocking off one of the curtains. It unrolled to reveal emerald silk with sliver dragons, an exact opposite of her blankets.
Amelia looked to the door where her bags all sat and then with a smile she pulled out her wand, waving it around and whispering a little spell. She watched as the chests opened and out came her clothes first they moved to sorth themselves in each of the dressers weaving around eachother as they came in anothers path.
After her clothes Amelia began to sort her school books and items. She stopped when she saw her beautiful firebolt, running forward she grabbed it making a mental note to herself to take it for a flight later on that night before she went to bed. She quickly finished then went to check out the others.
She went first to Hermione's room since it was right next to her's. Hermione's room looked much the same as Amelia's except her color scheme was very different. Her floor was a creamy color and her bedspread was gold and scarlet and instead of dragons there were gryffins their powerful wings taking up the whole of Hermione's bed
"Hello, do you need any help?" Mia asked her as she stepped into the room after knocking and recieving a nod from Hermione.
"Hello, no thank you I am about done now. Do you like your room?" She replied to the smiling Slytherin. Amelia nodded to her and turned to leave.
"Well then I am going to go check on Harry and Draco. See you in a little while." She skipped from the room and over to the other side of the commons to the door that held the other silver plaque. The door was closed so she knocked, recieving a grunt of acknowledgement from the other side. She opened the door and peaked in to find Draco sitting upon the floor. He was only in black silk pants, his chest was bare. He gave her a look out of the corner of his eye, and she could see the blue shining through from under the platinum blonde hair the hung in his eyes. He looked gorgeous standing there and as he stood to carry some things to a chest that she spied in the corner, the muscles in his chest and abs flexed showing the workout he got from playing quidditch.
"So you are the Captain of the Quidditch team are you not?" She asked him as he turned back around to face her with his signature smirk placed once again upon his lips.
"Yea I am what's it to you?" He sneered though he didn't try to put a lot of fire into the words. She smiled as she sauntered closer to him.
"Well I was wondering if you might need any new players this year, seeing as last years seventh years are now gone."
"Are you thinking of trying out?"
"I might be, depends are there any spots to fill?"
"Yea there's a couple. The tryouts are next week. There is spots open for one chaser and a keeper. I am the seeker, Crabbe and Goyle are the beaters, and Blaise((AN: I know that Blaise isn't really on the team but I couldn't think of anyone else.)) and Warrington are the other chasers." Draco smirked giving her a look out of the corner of his eyes as he bent over to grab up his robes of the ground and pulled them on, the ab muscles in his stomach flexing.
"Good I'll be sure to make it then." She smiled at him and then she laughed as she watched him try and get his arm through the hole but couldn't find it. She walked over and pulled it through and then patted his shoulder.
"Come on we have to go check on the Slytherins and the Ravenclaws before we go to bed." She told him and he nodded following her through his doorway in time to see Potter and Granger walk through the doors in front of them.
"Stupid Potty and stupid mudblood, why'd we have to get stuck with them for the whole year?" Draco sneered under his breath as they walked down the hall.
"Because they are good at magic." She smiled at him and then her look turned into a smirk when she saw Draco frown.
"Stop frowning. It will give you wrinkles." They made it to the Ravenclaw common room and checked around, Draco in the males dormitories, and Amelia into the females. There were still a few in the common room and they nodded to the two head students as they left.
"Ok well one down one to go." Amelia sighed and then laughed as Draco through her a dirty glare.
They made it to the Slytherin hall and up to the picture of Salazar Slytherin.
" Parseltongue." Amelia spoke up and Salazar smirked and winked before he swung the door open and the duo were allowed to enter. When they stepped through they were able to see that most of the Slytherins, of course, were not asleep. Amoung them were Blaise Zabini, Vincent Crabbe, Gregory Goyle, Pansy Parkinson, and Millicent Bulstrode. The group looked up when they came in and Pansy gave Amelia one of the dirtiest looks before her eyes turned to Draco and a lusty smirk replaced her face.
"Drakie!" She yelled and she jumped up and ran over to throw her arms around him. Draco snorted and threw her off of him.
"Don't touch me woman. Damn." He told her and everyone in the room laughed at Pansy. Her face turned a nice shade of red and she stormed back over to join Millicent who also had a smile on her face.
"Blaise, Crabbe, Goyle," He yeleld over to them each of them turning to give him a look before they left their spots to join him and the new girl.
"Guys this is Amelia, she is going to be trying out for a spot on the quidditch team. Amelia this is Blaise Zabini," He pointed to the tall dark headed male. She studied him. He had dark black hair much like her own that was cut short at about an inch in length, his eyes were a slight silver colored contrasting deeply with his hair. He had high cheekbones that gave him a small feminine look though it didn't do anything to detour his good looks.
" This is Vincent Crabbe," he nodded at the fat boy. Crabbe was huge with blubbery arms and his face was fat to. He had a hairstyle that reminded her of someone placing a bowl on his head and cutting around it. She had to believe that he was stupid because he had one of those stupid I-don't-know-anything looks.
"And this is Gregory Goyle." Goyle was smaller than Crabbe but he was taller than him. His hair was scraggly and it stood at all ends at about an inch off of his head. She noticed that he looked like he was cruel, someone who wouldn't think twice about stabbing a knife through her back, but she also noticed that he looked stupider than Crabbe.
"Good evening dears," She smiled to them catching each of them off guard with her sweet act and causing them to give her another once over which took longer than it should have. Blaise stepped forward towards her, a sly smirk on his face.
"That's a fine piece of ass you got living with you Drake my man." Blaise told him. He then turned to the other head student.
"Hey, baby, wanna come party with me tonight?" Blaise asked one very ticked off Amelia as he suggestivly ran his hand over her backside. Her eyebrow ticked and he had no warning as she quickly lashed out at him. Her right fist caught his left eye and the force of it shoved him backwards so that he bounced into Crabbe whose's belly flopped him right back onto his feet.
"Damn girl, that's one mean right hook you got." Blaise told her rubbing the side of his face
"Talk about me like that again and you'll see just how mean I can get Zabini." Amelia hissed in his face her emerald eyes flaring. By this time everyone that was left in the Slytherin Common room was entranced by what had just happened.
"So does that mean I can still touch your...ummm...backside?" He asked, smirking as if her punch hadn't phased him, though those closest to him could allready see the bruise that was starting to form.
"Yea you can touch it, if you want to be cursed, or have detention for a week." She smirked right back him, the smirk was so evil, that Blaise got chills from looking at it. Her look was identical to those that Malfoy usually had, though he had never used them on him, it was usually on those idiots Crabbe and Goyle.
"Only a week?" He asked cockily and the whole room laughed.
"Or two." She smiled now.
" It had better be a good feel then." Of course this made the whole room laugh even harder and earned Blaise a glare, not from Amelia, but from Draco.
"Bug off you git." He told him.
"Everyone had better be gettting off to their dorms. Some of you have classes in the mornin'" Amelia announced loudly making sure that all in the room heard her loud and clear. Most of them groaned but they all started filing off into their rooms.
"Now good night everyone." She turned and walked through the potrait, Draco following hot on her tail.
"Nice job back there." Draco told her.
"With what? Punching your best friend in the face." She giggled.
"Yea Zabini deserved it, he's such a pervert." Draco stared at her as she laughed. Her laugh was a beautiful melody that he could listen to forever. What the hell am I thinking? He thought to himself. I don't even know this girl. I just met her today. Ok well maybe I might have met her ten years ago but..wait why am I talking to myself. Damn I'm going crazy.
"Knut for your thoughts?" Amelia asked him shaking him from his crazy thoughts.
"I'm good. We had better get back to our rooms before one of the teachers find us and knock off points from our house." He told her with a side glance and then walked away as if she wasn't worth his time.
They finally made it back to their common room. As they made their way through the picture they stopped suddenly. Their on the couch in front of them sat Harry Potter having a snog fest with Ginny Weasly. Draco snorted and then busted up laughing at the look that the duo gave him.
"Well Potty, I have to say I would have never suspected it of you." Draco told him causing a sneer to form on Harry's face.
"Shut it, Ferrat." Harry snorted at him as he helped Ginny up from the couch so that they were both standing in front of the two Slytherins, on who was smiling, and the other who was frowning at being called a ferrat.
"You know the last time I checked the Head Room was only for head students. Now I won't report Miss Weasly this time but if it happens again I will have to report it to a Professor. Maybe Professor Snape, he seems like a fair teacher." Amelia told them with an evil smirk, the look on her face telling them that she meant every word that she said and that she knew for a fact that Snape hated Gryffindors.
"Just like Slytherins to be conniving." Harry muttered under his breath. He then nodded to the other head student and walked his girlfriend to the door of the Head Dormitory.
"I'll see you tomorrow Ginny." Harry told her and then leaned down to give her a small kiss.
"G'night Harry." Ginny replied to him and then she was gone and the two Slytherin and the boy who lived stood alone in the common.
"I'm going to bed." Harry told them and walked off muttering under his breath about dirty conniving slytherins that had to ruin everything.
"Good night 'Arry." Amelia yelled to him as she walked off to her own room. "Good night Draco."
Draco stopped in his doorway in shock. No one had ever wished him good night before except for his mother. He knew that it wasnt a big deal but he hadn't expected to hear it.
"Good Night Amelia." And then he disappeared into his room and Amelia into her's leaving Harry to wonder what the hell had just happened.

"Thank you Professor." The twins stated in unison as they stood together at the front of the room. Snape turned to look at them with a small smirk upon his face that shocked the rest of the class. Snape was smiling.
