It was Pansy and Blaise ! In his bed. His girlfriend and his best friend.
"You dirty bastard." Draco said calmly, as if it was a fact. It surprised him that he was so calm. He didn't care.
He never really felt for Pansy anyways. She was just there for pleasure. Blaise would still be his best man. He knew how he felt. He probably only wanted Pansy for action. He chuckled to himself.
Draco went to the family room and turned on his 80 inch plasma TV. There was a football game on, Manchester United and Arsenal. Draco's attention was fully diverted to the screen.
"Bro… I'm sorry man. It just happened. Can I explain?" Blaise said behind him, his face full of worry.
Draco scowled, not because he was angry but because Blaise distracted him from watching the game.
Blaise misinterpreted it and backed away to the kitchen.
It was Pansy's turn.
Ugh her voice is sooooooooo annoying.
"Draco! Baby! I'm so sorry. Listen, we came here looking for you and your maid told us that you were gone to the beach, and your bed was right there, and next thing you kn-" she blabbed on.
"-Ah just shut up Pansy. You're bothering me." Draco said, waving her off.
Pansy floo'd back to her house.
"Blaise? Oi!" Draco called, when the game was called to half time. Blaise cautiously approached him, with eyes full of guilt.
"I don't care Blaise, I've been trying to get that clown off of me for awhile. Now listen, I got something to tell you."
And Draco told Blaise about Natalia. The whole story.
"So she's sexy?" Blaise said, excited.
"Bloody hot, mate. Hey," Draco saw the excitement in Blaise's eyes, "She's mine. Don't get any ideas!"

It was time. She packed up all her stuff. Dumbledore took Nat shopping for her witch equipment. He even bought her the newest broom.
She was heading to the "Weasley Residence." Nat had no idea where that was, but Albus reassured her they were great people and that they would take her to the train.
"Weasley Residence!" Nat said, throwing floo powder.
When she opened her eyes, she saw 5 people staring at her with big eyes. She blinked a few times, "Um… Hello?"
There was a fairly round, orange haired woman with a look of admiration in her eyes. There was a short, cute, red head about my age looking at me with eyebrows raised. Nat looked at another girl with poofy brown hair and a curious look in her eyes. She smiled at Nat, "I'm Hermione." She nodded, "Nat."
Natalia continued to evaluate everyone. There was another red haired boy, gawping at her. She knew that look. She got it a lot. But at this moment, it was the most awkward look.
Finally, she looked at the last boy. He had no emotion in his face. She couldn't read anything in his eyes. His eyes… They were a beautiful deep blue. I could stare in those for hours. But the thing that she noticed the most was his scar.
Her jaw dropped.
Harry Potter?
"Harry Potter….?" Nat accidentally said out loud. He chuckled quietly, breaking the awkward silence. Nat didn't think anything was funny. Her serious face obviously gave it away, as Harry whipped the look of amusement on his face. This was going to be interesting.
Mrs. Weasley showed Nat to her room and introduced her to everyone, telling her a little bit about them. Hermione instantly came up to Nat, as soon as Mrs. Weasley left the room.
"Oh I've heard so many stories about you! This is so exciting! There's never been a 'new girl' at school! Well atleast not at after the first year, because technically everyone is –"
"-Oh come off it 'Mione!" Ron said. A little giggle escaped Nat's perfect lips. Everyone looked stunned, as if Nat was an alien.
"What?" she asked, suddenly self-concious.
"Nothing… just haven't you heard you laugh. Glad to know you're happy!" Ginny explained. A smile crept up on Nat's face. She could definitely get used to these people. She glanced at Harry who gave her a curious smile, one eyebrow raised.
Fuck, he's cute…
The rest of the night was amazing. She bonded with Hermione, Ron, and Ginny. It was a little different around Harry. He was so calm around her, it seemed like he didn't make an effort to talk. Obviously, she was wrong.
Slowly, everyone left the table. Soon enough, Nat and Harry were the only ones left.
"You know, I can relate to you. I've never been able to before. For once, the attention won't be on me at school." Harry said, smiling slightly.
"Haha thanks! How reassuring."
Harry kept looking at her. It was as if he could pierce through her, with those eyes.
"Wow…" she whispered to herself.
"What's wow?" Harry asked, suddenly looking down.
Shit! I didn't mean to say that out loud.
"Well…. Has anyone told you that you have the most beautiful eyes?" Nat said confidently. She knew the game with boys. Boost their ego, then drop them hard. She expected the usual answer "baby, tell me something I don't know."
Oh how she hated those muggle boys!
Instead, Harry's cheeks turned crimson red. He laughed awkwardly, touching his neck. Then his eyes connected with Nat's again.
"I could ask you the same question." He said quietly.
