CHAPTER 2

A New Addition

Arriving at Kings Cross station at 10:30 am Chloe loaded all her luggage upon to a luggage trolley and looked at the ticket in her hand. Platform 9 and 3/4? Walking past the station platforms she came to platform nine, presuming that the platform would be just up ahead she continued walking but became quite confused when she came to platform 10 instead of the 9 and 3/4 she was after. Chloe had always been quite a smart little witch back at Beauxbaton, Madame Maxime had always said she was 'très futé' which meant very bright in French. So being as smart as she was Chloe figured that there is some sort of barrier that prevented muggles from wandering onto the school train, it must be on a magic platform. Maybe the platform is invisible she thought to herself, needing time to figure out her next step Chloe decided to best stand out of everybody's way and pushed her trolley over to the wall that separated platforms 9 & 10. Lending back against the wall she ended up on the floor which confused Chloe who was absolutely sure that a wall was there to catch her. Looking around she realised she was no longer on platform 9 or 10 and saw a bright red steam train awaiting her on the tracks with 'Hogwarts Express' on the front. Giving a smile she was pleased with herself on finding the platform all on her own even thought it was a fluke. Pushing her luggage trolley towards the train she saw all the students from Hogwarts with their families loading up their luggage and speaking to the train conductors, some in robes and school uniform while a majority was still in casual clothing like she was. Before boarding the train she tried to find Hermione, Harry and Ron but with no luck, seeing all the families with mothers and fathers coming to see their children off a slight pang of sadness hit Chloe who seemed to miss her mother and father dearly, especially her father.

Boarding the Hogwarts Express Chloe saw that there were several seating compartments that a group of students could each fit into, siding with these seating compartments was a long hallway which allowed people to get into those compartments and wander about in the train. Walking past several compartments which were all occupied Chloe continued to walk down the carriages in search of an empty on seeing she knew no one from the school except Hermione and her friends which seemed to be absent. Finally coming to an empty compartment she placed her trunk upon the rack along with her smaller bags and packages. Sitting down by the window she looked around the compartment, spotting an engraving on the wooden window sill she took a closer look. It was a poorly done engraving of a snake, most probably craved in with a shape point object like a Stanley knife. Looking at the time it was 10:58 am the train was due to depart in 2 minutes. Opening her bag she pulled out a muggle magazine she brought before departing Tokyo and began to flick through its pages.

"This is OUR compartment! Get OUT!" A girl suddenly spoke with an irritated voice and especially focused on saying OUR and OUT in an extra irritated tone. Chloe looked up from her magazine to see what kind of person would talk to her like that. Her eyes were met with the view of three people. A hard pug faced girl with dark hair and two chubby boys both who looked more then well fed.

"Excuse me?"

"What? Are you deaf?" Pansy retorted and mouthed the words as if Chloe was mentally slow.

"What's the hold up then?" A voice came through from behind the two cubby boys.

"Someone here has taken our seat!"

"Well tell the 1st year to bugger off..don't they know who i am?" Chloe finally got to see who the obnoxious personality had belonged to as a platinum blonde haired boy pushed his way through into the seating compartment.

"No, i don't know who you are."

Draco looked over to who dared to speak to him in such a manner only to be stunned in return. As his eyes laid upon this unknown stranger he liked what he saw and he wasn't the first to notice. While Chloe came from France her heritage also crossed lines with Asian genes with her mother being half Japanese and Chinese and her father being a pure European leaving their daughter with luscious light brown locks, deep cut eye, delicate light skin and piercing blue eyes which for some odd reason would turn brown when the lighting changed. Chloe's eyes had always catch the attention of many but then again not just her eyes were beautiful. This girl seemed familiar to him, where had he seen her before? Then it struck him unsuspectingly, she was the girl from the book shop.

"I'm Malfoy, Draco Malfoy." He said as he placed out a hand to greet her.

"Chloe Martiallow." Placing her hand in Draco's for a shake but receive a light kiss on the hand from him instead.

"It's my pleasure to meet you Chloe." After retrieving her hand from Draco's, Chloe saw a flicker of jealously in the pug faced girl's eyes and assumed that she must be Draco's girlfriend.

"These are my friends, Crabbe and Goyle and Pansy. Sorry about us being rude before, we thought you were a first year." Chloe gave a fake smile to the trio.

"Hello, Will excuse me Mr Malfoy, i think I'll go sit somewhere else." She replied before getting up from her seat.

"What's wrong with sitting with us?"

"I don't like to stay where I'm not wanted." She directed her eyes towards Pansy.

"Right, I'll see you later then?"

"See you then." Chloe smiled at the handsome boy before excusing herself to find Harry, Hermione and Ron. Back in Draco's seating cabin he and his friends sat down with Draco taking the window seat.

"Blimey, she's a looker aye Draco." Goyle spoke up commenting on Chloe's appearance.

"No doubt about that Goyle." Draco said as he looked out the window thinking of Chloe's pretty face.

"I think that she's pretty plain." said Pansy with a tone to her voice.

"Cause she dun look like a dog with a squashed face aye?" Crabbe said causing everyone to laugh and Pansy with a unpleased screwed up look up on her already pug resembling face.

Wandering down the hall of the train carriages Chloe was desperately looking for somewhere she could sit instead of just wandering around, her trunk were getting heavier by the minute. Spotting Hermione she gave a big sigh of relief before opening the door to the compartment.

"Mind if I join you?

"Chloe! I was wondering where you got to. Come sit." Hermione graciously said moving herself over to the window seat allowing Chloe to sit down and put her bags away. "Chloe, this is Ron's little sister, Ginny."

"Hello Ginny, is it your first year?" She nodded in reply. "Where are Harry and Ron, Hermione?"

"I'm not exactly sure, i wouldn't be surprised if they missed the train. Those boys." Hermione said with a tone that any mother always carried. "You better settle in Chloe, this is quite a long trip. Six whole hours."

"Really? It takes that long?"

"Hogwarts is quite far from London, away from muggle's prying eyes."

"Makes sense i guess." Chloe replied before the compartment fell into silence which didn't last for long.

"So where you from then Chloe?" The little red headed girl spoke up.

"Paris in France, i attended Beauxbatons last year." Chloe was getting a little tired of telling people that.

"Really? When did you arrive in London?" Ginny continued to question with great interest.

"Just two days ago, i came from Tokyo, you know in Japan. My mother lives there now."

"Oh wow Chloe, you have been everywhere. I would love to be able to travel like you do." Chloe gave a kind smile at the young girl's amazement, knowing that if Ginny learned the real reason to why she travelled so much then she would have a sudden change of heart.

As the train pulled up to Hogsmeade station all the compartments began to bustle with people pulling things off the overhead luggage racks and collecting their belongings, first years were awfully excited arriving at their destination and new school and for a moment Chloe wondering if she should be just as excited also. Hopping off the big red steam train she followed Hermione and Ginny down the platform of Hogsmeade station out to a dirt track road where she was met with the sight of about a hundred horse drawn carriages without any horses. Finding a free carriage the three girls were all about to board before a voice came from behind them, it was Professor Mcgonagall.

"Miss Granger is this Chloe Martiallow?" The old woman's voice questioned looking down at Chloe in her plain black robes.

"Oh yes Professor, she's new here."

"Very well, please come with me Miss Martiallow." She said before turning away and started to walk briskly up towards the front of the line of coaches. Chloe shot Hermione and Ginny a questioning look but they shrugged and reply and egged her towards the direction Mcgonagall had went. Doing as she was told Chloe quickly walked towards the Professor and came to the very first carriage in line, sitting inside with Mcgonagall an awkward silence fell upon the coach. Before long the coach has set off for the school castle and soon came into view of Hogwarts, gazing out the window she was amazed at the sight before her. It was as magnificent as her father had promised, a full stone castle with seemed to glow against the night sky and instantly she felt the school really did have a magic about it that you couldn't describe.

"It's amazing isn't it?" Chloe suddenly heard the female Professor comment on the sight before them.

"Yes it is, just like my father had said it would be."

"I am terribly sorry about what happened to your father Chloe. He was a great man."

"Did you know him Professor?"

"Yes, when he was a boy at school here. He was a special one i tell you."

Chloe smiled to herself knowing exactly what Professor Mcgonagall had meant, her father was a little troublemaker at school, he had told her so. He had meant the world to her and now, he was gone. Mcgonagall noticed the sudden change of emotion by the look on Chloe's face and quickly changed the subject. "I know you will be happy here, Hogwarts is your new home now and soon you will be sorted into your family of school house. Many adventures await you behind those walls." She said in hopes of comforting the poor girl before the carriage came to a stop outside the great doors of the castle. "Here we are, we will now proceed into the Great Hall after i fetch the first years" Chloe nodded as Mcgonagall lead her to met up with the first years who were still taking some time to arrive on the boats. Soon after they all entered the great hall and walked down to the front of the large dining room with the curious eyes from all the students seated at the long tables beaming onto them. Mcgonagall immediately started the sorting process and called out all the first year's names to be sorted with only one girl left in the end, standing awkwardly infront of the whole school with mummers and whispers of why there were 41 new students this year instead of the maximum 40.

"Before we begin our feast, we have one more student we must sort. A transfer from Beauxbatons academy. Chloe Martiallow." Professor McGonnagall called out her name from the parchment. Chloe gripped onto the bottom of her robe lifting it to walk up the steps to the stool where Professor McGonnagall was holding up the sorting hat. Taking her seat she came to view of the whole school, all looking at her with a speculate manner except for Hermione and Ginny who gave her comforting smiles. Glancing over to the table which had a large green snake banner hanging over it she spotted the striking blonde hair from before, Draco Malfoy looked at her with a twinkle in his eye. After McGonnagall placed the hat upon her head it sprung to life.

"Hmmm, i sense alot of kindness, smarts and determination. My, my you are quite hard to place, you possess many qualities from each house."

'Gryffindor?"

"Yes, i could put you into Gryffindor but then again Slytherine would also be suitable for you. Putting you into Slytherine would be a first, you are different from those i have placed in there before."

'You know?'

"I don't think that matters, things are destined for you in Slytherine..hmmm yes. SLYTHERINE!"

The whole table under the green banner erupted with cheers and applause to hear they had a new addition to their house. Looking at Draco Malfoy he gave Chloe a cheer with the lifting of the water goblet in his hand and a charming smile. Getting up she walked towards the Slytherine table, seeing Draco pushed all the people of his left down a seat making room for her. Leaving her no other choice but to sit down in the spot he had made vacant for her. Taking her seat next to this blonde boy she felt a tad nervous being 'the new girl' but glad that atleast Draco wanted to be her friend.

"So, we meet again."

"Hello Draco."

"I think we are going to get to know each other very well this year, don't you say?"

"I guess so."

"I'm glad you made it into Slytherine, you wouldn't want to be in any of those other houses now. Anyway moving on..." Draco continued to be as nice and gracious as he could to this new girl as the dinner proceeded, he found himself wanting to impress her but then again that was easy to do. After all, he was Draco Malfoy.

As the start of term feast drew to a close, all the first years were lead by prefects down to their house dormitories and Chloe was confused if she had to do the same. Seeing Chloe watch the first years Draco answered the question for her.

"Don't worry about it, I'll take you down. You'll love our dormitories, they're in the dungeons. Quite cozy really considering it's under the lake."

"It's under the Black lake?"

"Well it is in the dungeons, so it has to be under something." Draco said smartly.

Spotting Hermione waving to her and signalling for her to come over Chloe excused herself with Draco and got up from her seat and moved over to the Gryffindor table. Leaving Draco with an unimpressed look smeared upon his skinny pale face.

"Oh Chloe we're so sorry you got sorted into Slytherine, you must be having a horrible time over there."

"It wasn't all that terrible, i think I've made a new friend already."

"We see you've met Malfoy." Ron said in disgust.

"You don't like Draco?"

"I think despise is the word to go for here."

"Why don't you all like him then?"

"Chloe, we're glad you made a new friend in your house and all but you ought to know about Malfoy, he's a horrible little slug. He's always thinking he's better then everybody else cause he's from a pure blood family"

"And his parents are loaded, even though his dad is pure scum." Ron added to the story.

"His father? The man that was talking to you all at that book shop, what's it called? Flourish and Blotts? The man with the long blonde hair?"

"Yes, him. Lucius Malfoy, my dad always says that he's a horrible man. They work together at the Ministry of Magic."

"Just be careful around Malfoy, Chloe. He's known to be a sweet talker, trying to woo girls and what not. But once he's bored with you he'll just throw you to the side."

"A git that one."

"Please don't take this is the wrong way. We're just worried about you."

"I'm not, I'm glad you all told me or i would have fallen straight for his little tricks. Always thought he seems a bit too flirty to be for real."

"Malfoy's being flirty with you? Eck." Ron made a grossed out sound and stuck out his tongue while frowning his brow causing everyone to laugh.

After her pleasant conversation with Harry, Ron and Hermione they showed her the way back to her dormitory which to her relief she found with ease coming to a painted portrait she remembered the password that Draco had told her during dinner. She gave the password to the painting 'pureblood' and entered the stone room where she spotted Draco standing in front of the fire. Draco turned around to see who had just come through the door, spotting Chloe he gave her a infamous Malfoy smirk.

"There you are."

"Got caught up chatting."

"That's okay sweets, you're here now." He said as he walked towards her. "Come, sit with me."

Chloe cautiously walks towards the Lounge and sits next to the fire across from where Draco stood. She looked up at him to see his icy eyes flicker from the flames of the burning fire.

"Was there something you wanted to see me about?"

"Well seeing that I'm head Slytherine for our year and you're new here it would be my duty to show you around tomorrow."

"I didn't know Hogwarts had house leaders for each year." Chloe replied coyly not playing along with Draco's little games.

"There's a lot for you to learn around here, that's why you should let me take you around tomorrow. You know, show you the ropes."

"Alright Draco, I'll let you show me the ropes then." Chloe laughed thinking it was quite funny that termed sounded when Draco said it in his strong British accent. "Now if you'll excuse me, i need to get some sleep." Chloe said as she got up from the black leather armchair, looking over to Draco he made no sound or moment in reply leaving her standing there to wonder what to do next. Draco slowly took a step towards her to close in the empty space between them, slowly he moved his hand up to the bottom of her chin and tilts her eyes up to meet his. His eyes were so cold she thought, then a loose strand of blonde hair fell in front of his eyes and instantly his whole look softened. She watched as the flawless pale skin around his lips curl into a sharp smirk, his lips so close to hers. If he had moved his head the slightest their lips would graze.

"I'll see you in the morning then." He was so close she could feel his breathe on her skin, remembering what Hermione had warned her about Chloe took a step back an breathed before replying.

"Good night Draco." Chloe said ascending the staircase up towards the dormitories leaving Draco at the bottom of the steps watching her disappear around the bend leaving him to wonder how hard he would have to work for this one.
