The start of a new beginning

After walking around for several minutes I found an empty compartment, put down my trunk and relaxed on one of the couches. I looked out the window as the train had just left the station, I was nervous, nervous of all the people that would be there. How was I ever going to make any friends, they'd all known each other for 6 years or more, and I'm just an out stander. But I couldn't let myself worry about that right now. The biggest problem might just be me being headgirl, having to share a common room with, well a guy, a guy I've never met before. And I was supposed to meet him somewhere along this train ride. I just hoped he was nice, and easy to get along with. I decided to kill some time by reading one of the books I bought for this school year, since it would be my first year at Hogwarts I thought it would come in handy to read the history of Hogwarts, it was a huge book but thank god I loved reading. There were some very interesting things in the book, like not being able to apparate on Hogwarts grounds, the founders of Hogwarts, that part of the book made the whole question of house unity much more clear. Outside it was nearing dark already, you could still see a shimmer of the beautiful landscape outside. I loved the view of beautiful trees and little rivers, I guess I've always been kind of an nature kind of person. Consumed by my thoughts I hadn't even heard someone come in, I only noticed when he sat across from me disturbing my thoughts. When I looked up at him I didn't know what to think, he had this weird smirk on his face, don't know what he wanted with that. His smirk faded a little when I didn't say anything ,I looked out the window again and sighed. "You're the new girl right, head girl.." he said suddenly, his voice was soft but sharp, like he didn't want to waste any time. "Yes" I said still looking outside, even though in the mean time it turned so dark outside you could barely see anything, "I suppose I am". I turned to face him now and he seemed to have fixed his gaze on me, the fact that he was staring at me so intensely got me to stare away to my feet quickly, though I could still feel his eyes burning holes in my head. "Then you are also the headgirl, and I'm supposed to get you to come with me, we have to help the big oaf get all the first years to the boats when the train stops." I simply nodded my head, closed my eyes and just prayed for strength.

I did not feel at ease with him at all, he was sitting so close to me and I didn't even know him. But this was no time to show fear, or weakness, that's what got me in trouble the first time. "Okay, so where do we go now then" I said looking up, making direct eye contact, he looked surprised, I must have looked very shy just minutes before, but I didn't care, I didn't need the guy I was going to have to live with know how scared I was about being in a room with him. He ran his hand trough his hair, and said "you just have to put your robes on, I'll wait here with you till the train stops, we'll go out together and direct the first years to the big oaf. I raised an eyebrow and wondered who he meant with big oaf, wasn't a very respectful way to talk about a teacher. "fine", I said "if you would be so kind to wait outside while I change then" I already stood up and grabbed my robes, I had my back turned towards him I had already taken of my cloak and wore a short sleeve black t-shirt, it covered pretty much everything. Still it felt quite uncomfortable when he suddenly stood behind me, his hands on my shoulders, his breath in my neck. "I could off course help you change your clothes" he whispered in my ear in a way that sent shivers down my spine, I closed my eyes for a moment and I turned around, "Get out now" I whispered holding my breath, I nearly had tears in my eyes but I looked at him coldly "get out now or I'll hex you into pieces so tiny they won't even recognize you" I said through gritted teeth when he didn't move. He swallowed as his smirk disappeared from his face and mumbled "fine, I was just kidding anyway" when he stumbled to the door. He disappeared and I started breathing again, closing my eyes to calm down again I started changing my clothes, I had just put on my cloak when I opened the door for him to come in again. He actually looked embarrassed as he sat down, looking at his hands, I was kind of waiting for some smart remark or something, seemed to fit him right, but nothing came. I rolled my eyes, had to keep myself from laughing, I needed to act lightly about it or it would eat me up. "Gee" I said, "how do you go from so arrogant and intrusive, to so very shy and.. well.. cute, actually.." I blushed as I said that, but I didn't mean anything bye it, he just looked like such an innocent little boy.. no way I would ever believe him to be like that.

A little while later we had directed every first year, to the teacher I learned to be called Hagrid, who he rather referred to as the big oaf. He walked with me up to the doors of the great hall we stopped there cause we weren't sure where I was supposed to go. "MALFOY!" a red haired girl came running up to us and I saw his face fall, he looked kind of, disgusted. "What do you want weasel" he spat at her, I thought the girl looked rather nice, she had nice red hear, bright brown eyes and a face full of freckles. She looked adorable. "McGonagall told me to take Cailen with me in the great hall, I'm supposed to be showing her around the next week or so" she answered with the same disgust showing in her face, there was definitely something up between those two. "fine then" he spat , "take her with you, it's not like I care, just don't turn her into a new weasley, I'm gonna have to live with her this year you know." The girl merely rolled her eyes and hold her hand out to me with a smile, I shook her hand smiling back at her and said: "hi I'm Cailen, but I guess you already knew that" I felt very comfortable with her, she had such a serene aura, or however you say something like that . She just made you feel calm. "I'm Ginny, she responded, Ginny Weasley, Professor McGonagall has asked me to guide you these next weeks and if there's anything you want to know feel free to ask me." She said with a smile. She director her hand towards the door and laughed at me, "let's go watch the sorting ceremony, I understand you won't be sorted?" I shook my head and smiled "no" I said "this is my last year, and I'm living in a separate common room, she thought it would be better for house unity to have an impartial person here.." I merely shook my shoulders and walked up to her, as she lead me through the doors to the great hall, where the sorting ceremony was about to take place.
