Authors note: This entire chapter was influenced my the song "Good times Gonna Come" by Aqualung. If you listen to it, you'll understand. Simple yet incredibly sexy. Just like my character :) Ps Sorry for the delay, School just started and im EXTREMELY busy.
Chapter Two
The rest of the train ride to Hogwarts wasn't as bad as I thought. Blaise and Pansy had come into the compartment and moved Goyle next to Crabbe. Pansy was thin enough to sit between Blaise and myself. Pansy was a tall willowy girl but her face looked as if someone had smooshed it. She was niether pretty nor plain, therefore invisible. She made up for it in her cruelty and violent attitude. Blaise was a stocky mocha colored boy and an only child like me. HIs mother had married several prominant members of the Ministry but they had all died mysteriously. These days not many men have asked her out.
The rest of the trip, Pansy blabbed about some class that her father told her to take and she didn't want to. I surprised that I even got that out conversation because I was thinking about Addison. Questions flew through my mind. Why didn't Professor Snape tell me? How could he have a child? He's petrifying to all of the other houses and he never seems to be interested in anything other than potions. I'm his godson and even I didn't know.
The rest of the trip went easily. When we reached Hogwarts, I immediately started to look for Addison. Pansy kept trying to get my attention but when she saw that I wasn't paying attention she walked away in a huff. Blaise lelf with her but I didn't care. I wanted to know more about Addison. How was it going to school at Beauxbotons? What flowers did she like? How was her father away from Hogwarts? And more questions followed but they all stopped when I finally found her.
Addison was standing with the first years. She towered over the other students by at least six inches. Her hair splayed around her shoulders and stood awkwardly, with her arms smooshing her bosom pleasingly. She shifted from one foot to another and looked around anxiously. I made the decision to talk to her but my body got the signal first because I was walking forward as soon as I thought of it.
Before I got there though, a wanker just had to get in my way. Cormac McLaggen walked up and said something. For five minutes, I stopped in my tracks, watched the conversation and was almost going to turn around until I caught her gaze and there it was. A plain dread was in her beautiful eyes. I walked over, with the Malfoy saunter and helped her out.
"Get out of my way McLAggen, PRofessor Snape need to talk to Addison." I sneered. His eyes narrowed and glowed with anger.
"Malfoy," He spit. "I don't give a flying fu---"
Addison cut him off, coldly, "I apologize for the inconvience but I need to speak to my father before I leave on the boat with the others."
McLaggen's face screwed up in a horrified face. He walked away quickly, without a goodbye. He was probably now going to start rumors. I glared at his back until he was out of sight. I felt a small amount of pressure on my arm. I turned my head back to Addison and she stood there in all her beauty with a little smile on her face. She started to speak but I didn't notic one word. I was transfixed my her lips. They were the deepest rose pink and everytime she would pronounce a "o" her lips would pucker and a heart would appear in the space between them. She stopped talking and hugged me. She placed her thin arms arms my neck and embraced me with a warmed that made my heart beat a little bit faster. UNconciously, I breahted in her scent. She smelled of blueberries and laughter.
"Thank you so much! again!" She mumbled into my shirt.
"No problem." I said.
I had no idea what she was thanking me for. When she pulled away, she kept her hands on my shoulder. She was about to say something but she stopped her self when she glanced over my shoulder. I stiffened as her hands ripped away from my body completely. I looked behind me and saw Professor Snape glowering fiercely in our direction. I knew what she was thinking and nodded at her curtly. I turned away from her and started to walk away when I heard her call. I turned around and saw her watching me leave. A wide smile pastered her face with innocence and mischief.
"I'll see you around."
Malfoys do not hug. We nod and walk away. We never look at the girl when we do, we look ahead. We are cold ruthless bastards that hate Mudbloods and leave the innocent to the wolves. How could I have broken all of these unspoken rules? Over one beautiful girl. I walked to the chain of fifth years and said nothing until the feast.
When I finally made it to the Sytherin table, I looked over at the Staff Table. There were the usuals. Snape, McGona-kevadra-you-if-you-disobey and Dumblesnore. There was a bright pink thing at the end of the table. It took my eyes a second to focus and realized it was a very ugly woman. She was short and looked exactly like a toad. Her sallow skin looked worse against the brightness of the pink, her eyes were small and beady and her mouth stretched in a strained smile on her face. This seems to be the new Defense teacher Father was talking about. He said she was from the minsitry and was exceptionally cruel. He also said that I should get on her good side.
The beginning of the feast was normal. The introdutions were normal and took Merlin knows how long. The sorting hat's song, although diffferent this year but like every year, was extremely long. I searched the crowd of first years crowded in between the Gryffindork and Duffers tables. I instantly found Addison. She was in the back and the obvious tallest "first-year." She looked like an angel.
Her face was relaxed and glowed. The pride in her eyes seemed to engulf the room with a fiery passion. From the A's turned into the the F's and then into the L's and finally the S's. Over time she called attention to herself, not intentionally of course. It seemed other guys in the room had caught her scent or just saw her but they were not as discrete as I was. My blood boiled underneath my pale skin as I saw Weasel look her up and down then whispering something into Finngin's ear.
"Addison Snape," McGona-Kevadra called.
The room went slient. Addison's jaw clenched and she glided foreword. She sat on the stool and waited. MCGona-kill placed the hat on her head and the room kept still. The Gryffindors were making disgusted faces at each other, the hufflepuffs wer confused, the Ravenclaws uninterested and the Slytherins were extremely excited.
The hat opened his mouth and yelled,"GRYFFINDOR!!!!"
Oh bugger.. This isn't going to be good.
