Part 2

Lesa walked with Blaise, the others following closely behind, to the boats. She got in one with Blaise and Draco, luckily for her Pansy was stuck with Crabbe and Goyle. She had only been around the girl for a few hours and already was tired of her voice, though she hoped they would grow to be great friends. Once they reached the waiting hall to go into the Great Hall, she watched as Draco confronted a tassel-haired boy with glasses. Hearing that he was Harry Potter she got nervous. Her parents told her that he was in her year, but she didn't expect to see him so soon. As she was walking up to introduce herself, Professor McGonagoll lead them into the Great Hall. As all her friends got sorted she got even more nervous. Her father had been in Ravenclaw and her mother had gone to Beauxbatons. Lesa knew her father wanted her to be in Ravenclaw more than anything, but she wanted to be in Slytherin with her new friends. Until Harry got sorted that is, then she knew that her parents would be upset if she was in anything other than Gryffindor with him.

When Lesa's name was called, she walked up to the front of the room and sat on the stool, the hat merely hovered above her head before shouting "SLYTHERIN!" and sending her to her friends. Her sorting had been the fastest one, faster even than Draco's. She got a lot more boos than she did cheers and she figured she was in for 4 very uncomfortable years. Little did she know, Slytherin's had a lot of classes with Gryffindors, the main one being Potions. First Potions class of the year she sat purposefully next to Harry and waited for her special assignment from Proffesor Snape. When Snape asked if she was related to Lilly Evans, Lesa simply nodded her head and looked down. Next to her Harry gasped and started asking her about how she was related to his mother, who she was, who her family was, and a lot of other questions she gladly answered while they worked.

She got close to Harry, they became more brother and sister than cousins. She also became close to Hermione,mostly due to spending so much time with Harry. It turned out that the two had a lot in common and were both serious over-achievers when it came to schoolwork. She grew close to Pansy and Blaise as well. Blaise was her best-friend, ever since that first train ride. They sat together in the classes that Lesa didn't have with Hermione and ate at meals together. Pansy started hanging out with her almost immediately, they were sharing a dorm together and both longed for girl time at the end of the day after dealing with a bunch of Slytherin boys all day. One day Draco came up after having a horrible day in double Potions and asked if Lesa would tutor him, knowing her advanced Potions skills. She agreed at the urging of Pansy who didn't want to see him fail, and of Professor Snape who confessed that he'd love to see her help one of his favorite students. Draco caught on quickly, and asked for help in other classes as well before finally confessing that he really just wanted to spend more time with her. At first she thought he was like the other boys, Ron in particular, who was just attracted to the Veela charms until he started bringing her random gifts. Things she'd mentioned in passing that she liked, like purple Daisies and strawberry tarts. After about 2 months of hanging out and studying everyday he finally asked her if she would like to be his girlfriend. Lesa thought about it for an entire night before finally telling him yes. It put a kink in her friendship with Pansy for awhile, but the two eventually got through it and got close again.

After that it was classes, studying, O.W.L.S., dates with Draco, and the rest is all history.
