Chapter 6; Anything Can Happen

I walked back to the dormitories, and Marisa was right there to let me in. "Thanks," I told her, stressed out.

"What's wrong baby cakes?" she asked me when we got to our room we've shared with Parvati, Lavender, and this other girl Haley. I quickly told Marisa to keep it down, because I knew how much the girls in here love to gossip. I only then realized that Haley's usual luggage was not there. It was replaced with Louis Vuitton suitcases.

"Um, where's Haley at?" I asked.

"I don't know. I heard she left, and we have a new roommate." Lavender said while unpacking her stuff.

I heard the door open, and everyone looked to see our new roomy. She was a little on the shorter side with pin-straight brown hair and dark brown eyes. She walked into the room like she was making sure all eyes were on her. I rolled my eyes and went to unpack. Not another person like this, I thought to myself. She's just going to be another wannabe whose boy crazy and thinks she's better than everyone. I sick of those people, but I know I shouldn't judge a book by its cover.

"Hey everyone!" she said. I stopped suddenly. Her voice, she was from the US too!

I looked at her and said, "Where in the US are you from?"

She looked at me like I was crazy, and then said "Los Angeles, California. Im guessing you are too?"

"Yeah, me and Marisa," I pointed over at Marisa, who waved, "are from Iowa. My name's Megan. That's Lavender and Parvati."

"Oh, hey. I'm Brooke," She told us. She sounded like she was bored with us already. She took out her cell phone and looked like she was trying to get reception.

"Don't you know that you can't use muggle things here? They just won't work," Lavender told her like she was crazy.

Her jaw almost dropped to the ground. "Then what am I supposed to do? I need to call my boyfriend! He'll be so worried. He's still in LA, at the wizarding school there!" She was practically hyperventilating now.

"It's called owl. Our owlery is at the top of the West Tower." Parvati answered Brooke.

We all unpacked in silence. I knew I was going to get fed up with Brooke soon. Just as long as I stay calm, nothing can go wrong, right?

The next morning, Marisa and I got dressed and headed down to the Great Hall to eat before we got out schedules. I wasn't hungry, but I felt eyes on my back the whole time. A few minutes later, McGonagall handed out schedules. Mine and Marisa's were almost the same, except we had potions different.

"Ah, I can't be late to potions. Don't want Snape to give out detentions. Have fun in Divination," I told Marisa.

"Oh I will," I was going to walk away when she ripped my schedule out of my hands.

"Look who you have potions with! Get your flirt on girl!" She smirked at me.

"What are you talking about?" I asked her, but she turned around. I suddenly felt a shadow on my back, and turned around to see my least favorite person behind me.

"Excuse me ladies, but I overheard saying you had potions now. Well I do to. May I walk you to class?" he said directly to me.

"Stalker!" I yelled at him. Who wanted someone listening to their private conversations?

"Oh, how I love your sarcasm," he said. He had a smile on his face and held out his arm. Ha! As if I was going to take his arm.

"Let's just go," I told him.

We walked in silence for a little bit until he had to break it. "I'm not a bad person, just to let you know."

"What's that supposed to mean?" I asked him. He's not a bad person? How about all those times he made fun of me last year. How he hurt me in 3rd year. He again, interrupted my thoughts.

"I'm a Slytherin! It's basically in my blood to be rude. But there's something about you, I don't know what, it makes me feel like a different person."

I blushed a little, but then realized the only thing he hasn't mentioned yet. "Malfoy…" I started.

"Draco." He interrupted.

"Fine…Draco," I winced, "you've regret to tell me one thing. Would you still treat me this way if I didn't have this make-over?" Finally, the one question to shut him up! "Oh look! We've reached our destination!"

"This conversation will be continued, right?" He asked hopefully.

"Maybe," I looked back and gave him a smirk.

I went into the dungeon and sat down at an empty table. I didn't have my best friend with me, so I didn't care who I sat by. It just so happened when I looked up, I saw Brooke looking at me in awe.

"Do you mind? Your kind of creeping me out," I looked at her red and gold striped beater under her robes and rolled my eyes. Trying to stand out in this place will cost you. Points to be exact.

"Who was that boy you were talking to? Your boyfriend?" she fired at me.

"That, is probably the slimiest guy you'll ever meet. Draco Malfoy is a jerk."

"He may be a jerk, but he's a cutie. Single?"

"Yes he actually is. But you see that girl over there?" I pointed at Karly who was telling the guys from Slytherin and Gryffindor about her summer. "That's Karly; everyone knows Malfoy has the biggest crush on her."

"Interesting," she was finally quiet, but that's when I realized that the lovely Snape (ha!) was standing over us.

"Thank you, Miss Schroeder, for catching the up the new girl on the latest gossip. 20 points from Gryffindor! And Miss--"

"Dann. Brooke Dann, sir."

"Miss Dann. 5 points for breaking the dress code. Welcome to Hogwarts." He sneered again, and then walked to the beginning of class to begin his lecture for today. I looked around and saw Draco look at me and wink.

Who knows, maybe people can change. And maybe pigs can fly too. Well this is the wizarding world, and anything can happen.
