"Oy Victoria Wait up!", I call after her retreating form. This isn't like me. Why do I care what this stupid girl thinks of me? She's probably actually quite ugly it's not like I got a good look at her face or anything. Oh great now she's walking faster. What is she a roadrunner? Ugh what is she even running from I just want to talk to her.

"Victoria can you stop this! I'm getting tired", I plead.

"Ask nicely and perhaps I'll think of it", she quips. At least she responded at all

"Would you please stop walking?" She looks pensive perhaps there is hope. Oh she's turning around! WOW she's hot!

"Nope! Goodbye Draco", she says as she walks right past me. So much for that.

Looks like its time to do some snooping about who this chick is.

"Pansy what do you know about that new girl Victoria?" I ask. Pansy is the best gossip at Hogwarts so if anyone would know something it's her.

"What do you want to know Drakey?" She asks with what I assume is supposed to be a sexy smirk.

"Where is she from? What house is she going to be in? Blood Status? Will she date me? Does she date? Who the hell is she?" Oops those last 3 weren't for Pansy to hear but oh well.

"Buckinghamshire, Slytherin, Pureblood, NO, yes, and how am I supposed to answer that?!" I'm a bit worried about that no because Pansy said it a bit like it disgusted her. Why would that disgust her? Maybe she's jealous, but that didn't sound much like jealousy...

"Why so much emphasis on that no?"

"That, Drakey, is something I cannot tell you but you'll find out in time" Uggggghhhhh how frustrating is that!

"Fine goodbye Parkinson" I say making sure to add a glare so she knows I'm not pleased

As I leave I can't help but wonder why Pansy couldn't tell me. Hm I hope this will sort itself out in time because I hate not knowing things.

"Oh hello Draco, have you seen what that new girl Victoria did?" asks Daphne Greengrass with an annoying lilt in her voice. I wrinkle my eyebrows and shake my head.

"Oh you must see this follow me!" Oh why not? It sounds like it must be entertaining.

"What is THIS?" I demand angrily because in front of me is a rather humiliating sign. Even if Daphne hadn't told me that Victoria is to be blamed for this I would have known anyway. The sign says No Draco Malfoy I will not date you so stop begging it's quite pathetic and DON'T snoop into my life either!

Well she's really up front about it isn't she? "So is it true Draco? Have you really been begging a half blood to date you?" Daphne asks a little too happily.

"Wait half-blood? But Pansy said-"

"Oh Pansy says a lot of things darling I'm new and even I know that" says a voice from behind me. I don't even need to turn around to know that it's Victoria. That name really doesn't seem as pleasant as it did before.

"What is your problem? Why do you hate me?" I say sounding much more pathetically than I meant to.

"Aw what's wrong Draco not used to people hating you?" she says with a smirk. Merlin what is it with this chick?

"I don't even have the energy to deal with you goodbye Victoria, Daphne" I say turning to Daphne who has been watching our exchange with interest.

When I got back to the common room I knew something was very wrong. "WHAT THE HELL IS SHE DOING IN MY SPOT?, I shout. From the ripe old age of 11 the seat closest to the fire has been my spot. In the beginning I loved it because the dungeons are damp and we're Scotland so evenings aren't exactly warm but this is about so much more than that. This girl has not been sitting well with me and I've only known her for a couple of hours.

Everybody looks at me curiously because I do not tend to show so much emotion but I'm still ticked off about this same girl turning me down in the hallway not 2 hours ago.

"Hello Draco", she says as if I'm not furious.

"Victoria that is my spot could you please not sit there?", I say calmly. I shouldn't have yelled at her but I'm sure she was warned by the other Slytherins.

"No this is a seat, if you can't see that then I will not refrain from showing you "

"What does that even mean!"

"Don't worry about it just know that I am not moving nor will I follow any of your other egocentric customs because I'm sure you have more"

"I am so sick of you and you've barely been here a day!"

"Then why don't you go hole up in your room so you don't have to see me?" she says sarcastically

"I think I might just take you up on that offer" I say before storming up the stairs to the boys' dorm
