DISCLAMIER: I DO NOT OWN HARRY POTTER OR ANY OF ITS CHARACTERS. IT BELONGS TO J.K. ROWLING.
A/N:Sorry for the late story. Anyway if anyone know a better title for the story, please leave suggestions. The chapter may not be all that good because I wanted to get it out fast.I was already 2 weeks overdue.
Harry opened her eyes slowly, trying to blinking away the sleepiness.
"Morning Harry," Hermione greeted. She nodded her head groggily and got up to change.
"Aren't you excited for today?" Hermione beamed, brushing her hair, or at least attempting to from Harry's point of view.
"Oh yes Mione, I'm soo excited that I just left school to come to more school." She replied merrily smiled and walked out of the room with a bounce in her step, almost as if she was skipping.
'I really just want to wipe that smile of her face, Way to cheerful for this time in the morning.' She though. A brief though enter her mind, blue, she wondered. Harry shook her head and put the thought out of her mind.
Harry walked swiftly bumping into people a she passed. 'I've been here almost a year and I still don't even know where I'm going. Luna was no help at all."
Harry groaned when she looked at her mobile. She had only a few minute before the class starts. She looked around turning form side to side, and after ten minutes finally found the class.
She breathed a sigh of relief and opened the door nervously, hoping not to draw attention to herself. Harry opened the door gently and peeked inside. No one was paying attention to her and she relaxed slightly.
"I expect hard workers, and-"Harry froze when she heard the door slam behind her. The professor and the students turned towards the noise and found her. Harry blushed under the stares.
"Well Ms. Potter so glad you have decided to join us." She felt her face heat up even more. "You may find yourself a seat unless you prefer to stand." Harry gave a sheepish smile and seat of towards the only seat available. Harry knew today wasn't going to be a good day and seeing his face next to the only empty seat, just confirmed the feeling. He smirked at her, eyes dancing with laughter, no doubt at her embarrassment.
'Figures he seems like the kind of guy that laughs at others misfortune.' Harry glared at Damien (A/N: I'm changing his name from Drake to Damien because I don't like how the name sounds so similar to Draco.) and took the seat, trying to sit as close to the edge as possible. She heard a chuckle but ignored him. Nothing was said between the two of them, and Harry sat less rigid in her seat.
"It's laughable that we are in the same class, side by side." Harry yelped when she felt his breath at her ear.
"Miss. Potter are you going to continue to cause a constant disruption in my class? Because if so I'd rather not have a person who is unwilling to keep quiet and pay attention." Harry stuttered an apology at her professor, whose glare was directed at her. Beside her Draco started to snicker.
"Is something funny, Mister Reese?" asked the professor. Draco straightened up and shook his head swiftly. When the professor turned away, Harry elbowed Draco in the stomach.
Draco gasped silently and looked at her with an angered bewildered expression
"That was for getting me in trouble with the teacher again." She hissed. Draco glared at her and opened his mouth to retort, but Harry covered his mouth with her hand.
"Unless you want to get into more trouble, I suggest you keep your mouth shut." She said. Draco flicked out his tongue and licked her fingers. She immediately pulled her hand away and wiped it on his sweater with a look of disgust.
"Harry we are in the middle of the classroom, stop trying to feel up my muscles." Draco smirked. Harry blushed and rolled her eyes at him. She crossed her arms and legs and looked straight forward.
"Honestly I don't know what Lavender sees in that guy. He's a complete git." Harry huffed. Harry and her friends were gathered in Ginny and Luna's dorm eating lunch. She had been complaining about Damien for almost ten minutes and Ginny could help her short temper.
"Harry you've been complaining about this guy for almost ten minutes. Give it a rest." Ginny rolled her eyes at her.
"I was just saying." Harry huffed and sat down.
"Harry, Ignore him. There nothing more to that." Hermione said, looking up from her book. Ginny huffed, "Okay enough about this guy let's talk about the new meat that has just enter into this school. Is it me or are they better looking per year." Ginny sighed wistfully, looking at Harry, who shrugged.
Ginny groaned, "Oh come on Harry, you haven't even been on at date in like three years. Move on and find someone new. There are a bunch of guys out there that I know are interested."
"Hey! Your man eater, Harry doesn't even want them. As if they even deserve her, not my little sister. If one bloke goes after her out he might as well be asking for his face to get beat into a pulp."
"Hermione," Harry said. A loud slap on the back of the head was heard throughout the room.
"Thank You." Hermione just hummed and continued her reading.
"Draco, how are your classes going? Mine are absolutely ravishing. There are so many boys to gaze at. I think I just died and went to male heaven." Pansy sighed blissfully.
"I had a bloody awful day. First Lavender was in at least two of my classes and she is so set on being seen as a 'couple'. I mean we've only been out on one date." Draco sighed running a hand through his hair. He gave a humorless laugh.
"To make matters worse Ms. Cruella was in almost all my classes. I can't have a moment of silence with her. All we can do is fight; I can't even hit on her because she irritates me so much."
Draco sneered. "I could care less if she's gorgeous her bad personality takes away any possible liking." Pansy glared at him.
"As if you're any better," Draco stood up angrily, "Whose side are you on, anyway."
Pansy flipped her hair back, and gave Draco a cross look. "Defiantly not yours with the way our acting," Draco grimaced.
Pansy sighed. "I'm not on hers either, well it's actually undecided, But not for very much longer." She smirked. Draco gave her a confused look.
"Oh didn't I tell you. I had Lavender in my first class today and when we sat together, we just clicked. We kept talking and talking, and when she brought up you, I couldn't help but say we are best friends." She smiled and stood up and went towards the mirror to re-apply her makeup.
"Anyway we got to talking and I heard it's tradition that she and her friends get together every night after a new school year. And she was kind enough to invite us to the Gryffindor party. So I accepted for Blaise, you and I." Pansy looked at him with an innocent expression through the mirror.
"Draco sweetheart is something the matter." She gave a fake concerned look. "You look as if your about to blow." She sighed and gathered her bag. "Well I best leave before I get your fluids on me. I'll be here at seven." Pansy hummed a song cheerful as she walked out of the room.
The people in the hallway paused when they heard someone shouting muffled curses through a door.
Draco, Pansy, and Blaise stood outside room in dorm D for the door to open. Draco may have been reluctant to show, but it didn't mean he wasn't going to show up looking his best. Well at least as best as he could without his usual wear. Draco wore black somewhat tight jeans and a white v neck and a black blazer. He though he looked rather nice.
The door opened and a rather good looking red head opened the door. "Well hello there. Welcome to out dorm. You must be Lavender's boyfriend Damien, Pleasure." Draco bent down to kiss her hand and looked up at her through his lashes.
"The pleasure is all mine." He replied. Ginny smirked and opened the door wider to let the other two in.
Harry was finally relaxing with her friends and getting the stress of the day off her shoulders. She was almost stress-free until she saw a face that constantly winded her up. Harry sneered at him.
"What are you doing here? Get the bloody hell out of my dorm room." Draco gave her mocking glare back. "Sorry no can do. Me and my friends were invited." Harry jaw dropped and she looked around, wondering who invited him. She spotted Lavender, whose face light up when she saw Draco had come. She giggled as walked fast towards Draco.
"Oh good you're here. Let me introduce you to all my friends." Lavender said after she gave him a hearty kiss with a smile on her face, completely oblivious to the angry stare that was directed at her way.
"Well you've meet Harry already." She said cheerfully. Draco gave a fake smile. "Yes we have." He smiled down at her. "Harry, always as…distinctive to be in your presence." Harry gave him a stare and walked away. Lavender looked at Draco to Harry, with a confused expression on her face. Draco waved her off and directed her to her other friends.
"Harry I know you might hate him and all but I mean Harry look at him!" Ginny grabbed Harry's face between her hands and moved her head to face Draco, who was talking to his friend Blaise.
Harry couldn't lie to herself. She was angry not an idiot and he wasn't horribly bad looking."But only when he's not being a complete jerk." She thought to herself. Even Hermione stopped for a second to look at him. She was never a girl that considered other people and herself with looks.
Harry had a permanent scowl on her face. She kept in the background, not really saying anything to anyone, except some selected few, especially the handsome Italian.
Harry was sitting on the chair, looking at everyone having a fun time. Damien's other friend; Theo had come along and decided to join in the festivities. He had practically caused a ruckus and flirted with every girl here. Ron and Hermione were in the corner going all lovey-dovey on each other, and several of her other friends had gone off to talk to other people.
Harry sighed and slumped in her sit.
"Can I join you?" Harry looked up startled into the handsome hazel eyes of a bronze male. He easily stood at least six foot three. He had lean, fit body and had an intelligent presence about him. He had warms eyes and an easy smile, that when he smiled at her, she couldn't help but smile back. She nodded hesitantly and waved her hand to the seat next to her. Harry had never seen him before, so assumed that he was one of Damien's friends.
"Harry, right. I'm Blaise?" She nodded, looking at him suspiciously.
"Yeah, how do you know?" Blaise laughed, "My friend Damien told me. He has been complaining about you since he meet you." Harry growled and crossed her arms.
"It's not as if he's a walk in the park, either. And anyway I'm usually a kind person. He just brings out the worst in me." Blaise chuckled and Harry smiled slightly.
"You've only known him for a few days. I've known him all my life." Harry grinned and put her hand on his arm.
"Then I feel so sorry for you." She spoke with pity in her voice. Blaise laughed,
"He's not the worst person in the world." He defended lightly. Harry snorted, "Well he's certainly not the best."
Blaise shook his head and asked her a few questions like, What her age was, what she liked to do, what she wanted to do in her life…Harry laughed. "What is with the twenty questions?" Blaise blushed lightly, "Just wanted to get to know my party-partner a bit better."
"Party-partner?" She questioned. "I'm not really a partying type of guy, I only go to look after my friends, and because they force me too." He gave her a knowing grin. "And I know that you aren't either. So if we're going to another party I want to have something to look forward to."
She let out a small laugh and stuck her hand out professionally, giving him a very intelligent voice. "From this day forth we are 'party-partners." He shook her hand and they both sealed it with a nod.
"Well I'm nineteen soon to be twenty, in a few months. I love to play music, and write and you know stuff … I'm an artis-ish kind of a girl. Andd… I don't know what I want to do I think I may go into politics. I'm not too sure, but I do know that I want to help make the world a better place." She kept continuing, her voice becoming more passionate after every word; not giving Blaise a chance to reply.
"I know it's a very used response but I really do want to. Where I live the city is pretty poor and people are struggling. There are truly good people that live there and they deserve better than that. Especially since the falling out with Slytherin a couple of years ago, it's been hard on the people of Gryffindor. I know I'm only a single person with a little voice, but if I can learn then create my own power then I can help those people."
Harry smiled wildly, "I can be their voice and so many other peoples. Then I'll be a single person with a big voice. So that why. "She finished lamely. She realized that she had been ranting and blushed, tomato red, looked away from Blaise.
She gave an awkward laugh and stared down into her drink. "Ha. Sorry about my little speech there. Sometimes I think as if I'm Hermione. She one of my best friends and she tremendously bright, and Mione always rants on and on about causes, and well mostly books, but…eh."
She shrugged, "We don't really pay attention, unless we have to" Harry stopped talking and took a breath. She gave a small glance at Blaise and found him smiling widely at her. Harry relaxed abit.
"I don't consider it stupid at all. I believe it would be great to have someone that actually truly cares about assisting this country and its people." He granted. Harry instantly became comfortable, and smiled at Blaise, who had a strange look in his eyes. It didn't look dangerous, maybe thoughtful? She shook her head. Just then Harry agreed that not all of Draco's friends were so bad.
Harry second half of the night had not been so bad, with Blaise at her side; she at least had someone at the party to talk to. Unfortunately Blaise had to leave, which left Harry all alone. Her other friends had seen her lounging on the chair and practically dragged her to the dance floor and all started dancing with her. Seamus was so drunk that he started doing this insane dance that had Harry in giggles for minutes.
She had meet Pansy, another of Blaise's friends, who reminded her much of Ginny. She was snarky, dry sense of humor, and such a boy lover. She was extremely gorgeous. Pansy had cinnamon brown eyes and dark chocolate hair. She had a slim face with high cheekbones, which just made her look even more beautiful, whenever she smiled. Harry couldn't help but feel green with envy of her. She embraced her looks and was so carefree with it. She flirted with the guys, but could never come of too strong, then again she basically stared sucking off a guy's face earlier. Harry wished she could be more happy-go-lucky.
Pansy seemed to be a girl that was rarely kind, but not always mean. Harry found herself taking an instant like to the girl.
"Don't mind Draco he's just a lovesick bastard. Now Go and get yourself some male-lovin" Harry choked on her drink and started to cough and laugh at the same time. Pansy smiled a little and left to go get a drink.
Harry told herself to loosen up and actually accept when the next guy offered. She was nervous at first, but found herself loosening up and dancing with the guy, especially since she felt a bit tipsier. She found herself making out with the guy soon after. She may had been a bit irresponsible, but felt she deserved to be less awkward Harry for once, but when he started to grope her in places she didn't approve of. She kneaded him and walk off smiling, feeling easily tranquil.
"What's with the sucking off the poor man's face?" A voice asked. Harry instantly groaned and had a childish desire to stomp her foot and whine at him to go away.
"Uh I don't even want to talk to you right now. So If you may please…"She made a gesture with her hand.
Draco sneered, "Honestly are you that rude to everyone or is it just me. Because I just saw you practically grinding with a couple of guys. You must have really enjoyed that. Getting your feel up for the night"
Harry gave him a death glare. "Those were my friends, and we weren't even grinding. We were just dancing. Go get your eyes checked."
"Not if you were the last person on this earth." Draco mocked. Harry scoffed and walked pass him.
"Don't forget to keep your legs closed tonight." Draco commented as she walked past him. Harry froze and paused for a second. More and more people had been paying attention to Harry and Draco's insults. Harry's fist clenched at her side. She turned and walked straight up to him and gave him the most disgusted hateful face that he started to feel somewhat bad for the comment.
Harry raised her cup and poured it all over Draco's head. He gasped and the cool sensation that ran down his upper body."You bitch," He screamed with cold fury.
Harry slapped him and gave yelled whispered, "You asshole. I am not a whore." Draco grabbed her wrist harshaly and looked down at her. "Didn't your parents ever teach you manners?" He hissed
"My parents are dead, you disgusting bastard. "Harry shoved him off of her and walked off brushing pass Draco and left. Draco squeezed his cup tight and turned around when he felt a tap on his shoulder. A red head hat Draco remembered as one of Lavender's friends walked up to him. ".?" He glared The red head just gave him one heated glare and raise his fist. Draco saw no more after that.
Harry jogged to her room with tears running down her face and closed the door as soon as she entered. She was gasping for breath, but couldn't get it due to her sobbing. Harry slide down the door and tried to gain composure, but couldn't.
She missed them, even though she never got to know them. She had been a forgotten child, with not taught lessons of love. Harry crawled to her closet and opened her keep safe. Her mother and father had written her a letter in cased they were never there and Harry was lucky enough to find it. Harry didn't even have a picture of them. She had no idea what they looked like. Just that she looked equally like her mother and father. But a mirror wouldn't give her an image of her parents, would it?' she asked it. Harry walked weakly to her bed and got under the covers. Weeping her heart out like she hadn't done in a long while.
