Chapter 4: New student
She was waving to Draco as she ran along the train as she had promised. She waved till she saw him turn to face someone inside the train and slipped back into the window and she knew it was over. He was leaving, her eyes watered even more. As Draco looked away she almost stopped waving, that was until she saw someone waving back at her.
At first she had wondered if there was someone behind her, but when his eyes hit met hers she was mesmerized. It was shocking to see such rich green eyes staring at her. As he waved, she knew that it was for her, she returned the wave and smiled at the boy. Even if she could be absolutely wrong, and it wasn't for her, she would wave to that boy.
He had the silliest glasses that were too big for his face, but she liked it. His face was very pale, not so much like her brother, but enough to see him needing to be kissed by the sun's rays more often. She mouthed the word bye, knowing that he wouldn't have seen her at how far the train had run.
Angel groaned and her eyes opened staring up at her room's ceiling. Much to Lucius' protests she had asked for a blue room. Most rooms in the mansion were black, silver, green or light gold. The color of her room was lighter than all the others, but Narcissa had agreed wanting her to get her way. She called it 'individuality' and she wasn't about to correct her.
At the moment all she could think about was the dream. It wasn't so much of a dream, but a memory, one that had bothered her very much. She heard a meow and lifted her head to see Coeur meowing at her, her eyes were teasing, she knew it.
"Shut up" she muttered at her cat who strutted over and curled up next to her.
A meow was her familiar's reply.
"I need to get ready Coeur, I've been waiting a whole year"
Coeur stared at her familiar; she had been teasing her mistress for months over that dream. Every single time that her mistress dreamt, she felt the emotions rolling from her mistress and onto her and she felt nothing but shyness and infatuation; she didn't like it.
Today was something that both Coeur and Angel had been waiting for. Today they were heading towards Hogwarts. They were determined to devour every bit of information that came from Draco's letters and today was their turn to see everything. Angel always read each letter that was sent aloud to Coeur. Their routine consisted of Angel chatting to her cat about what she imagined it to be and her familiar meowing in reply.
Angel had learned so much through those letters. She already knew who to talk to, who to meet, a Weasley was a definite no and if Harry Potter had a Weasley friend, then she wouldn't outstretch her hand like Draco did. Malfoys were never shunned, so it was Potter's loss. In the last letter she had learned how Gryffindor had won the House cup during Draco's first year and he despised it more than anything.
Currently, Draco was in the opposite room and Angel smiled brightly knowing she just had to wake him up. She slid from her king size bed and slipped on her silk slippers, before she ran out of the door. The silk silenced her footsteps and she opened the door with some difficulty, before running over to the bed jumping on the bump under the covers. A groaned echoed through the room and brown eyes met silver. She smiled as he tugged the covers over his head.
"Drake come on," she whispered tugging the green silk covers.
A grunt was his only response. She frowned and grinned sliding down and slipping under the covers from the bottom of the bed. She tugged his hair and earned her a glare from under the covers. So much for him sleeping even longer.
"Why are you waking me up?" he mumbled sleep still heavy in his speech.
"Today's the day we go to Hogwarts" she squeaked excited.
"So what, it's just Hogwarts" he groaned.
She pinched his stomach earning her a squeak from Draco and then a kick from him. Groaning softly she knew what this meant. A fight. Both began to kick at one another, and shoved only for them to turn to tickling one another.
"Stop it" she gasped out laughing.
"No, you woke me up!" He said a smile cracking to his grumpy exterior.
"I hate you!" she cried out tears appearing as she laughed.
"That's enough you too" Narcissa interrupted them.
They appeared from under the covers and they smiled at their mother. She was leaning against the doorframe taking in the view.
"Today's the day" Angel squealed.
Narcissa smiled and laughed slightly at her daughter's comment. Her smile was somewhat strained, the previous year had been very hard on them. Voldemort had in fact returned and they had been given a mission. They had already completed the first mission a week ago, and Cissa had begged Lucius not to take Angel, but Draco had to go to avoid suspicion. The diary had been handed over as ordered.
"Where's Dobby mummy?" Angel asked.
Narcissa shook her head and frowned.
"I don't know that house elf is so crazy' she replied.
"Oh definitely, I was getting tired of hearing thumping from his self harm" Draco replied "Should be sent to the streets"
"I liked Dobby" Angel protested "He isn't so bad…. just a little loony"
"Enough" Narcissa said "We will be running late if you don't hurry. Come on!" she said.
"Twinkle" Angel called out.
A baby blue elf appeared with long floppy ears appeared. Her eyes were bright green and smiled widely at her Mistress Lili.
"Missy Lili" she said cheerily "what would missy want from Twinkle?"
"Help me get ready for the train please?" she asked ignoring the fact that she was constantly called Lili after Angeline and Twinkle's difficulty pronouncing it.
Twinkle nodded happily and Angel hopped from Draco's bed and ran after the happy Twinkle. Narcissa smiled as she ran out and turned to face Draco.
"Draco, this is her first year, with everything going around take care of her okasy?" she began. " She's so young and after what happened last year… Just be careful okay?"
Draco looked at his mother intently.
"You know something don't you?" he asked.
She shook her head.
"Just saying, Harry Potter brings nothing but bad luck to everyone around him"
Draco nodded feeling somewhat foolish considering he wanted Potter's friendship more than anything, but it didn't matter, what mattered was that he had his own group and he wasn't following Potter to his death sentence.
"Right mother, anything you say" he said and slipped from his bed.
"I'll leave you to get ready" she said, "Your father and I will be waiting in the sitting room"
Draco nodded and he was left alone to dress.
Narcissa had meanwhile reached the sitting room where Lucius was staring out the window. It was never easy to do the work before, but now as they were parents and had a family it was much harder. Draco and Angel were now going to see the darkness of the world, and it affected both of them.
"Lucius darling" she whispered placing her hand on his shoulder.
"I handed out the book" he muttered "to that Weasley girl "
She shuddered, as much as she hated the Weasleys, no one deserved the fate that was coming her way.
"It had to be done," she said softly. "Now let's concentrate on keeping our children safe"
He nodded and wrapped his arms around her waist pulling her closer. Draco had been oblivious to his help in their mission. They would be safe from Voldemort's anger, but they could not tell Dumbledore because it would be too suspicious. He was trapped and he had to get used to it.
"Oh Merlin let's head back" they heard.
They turn to face a disgusted Draco and a giggling Angel. Lucius chuckled and kissed his wife's forehead, then released her to face his children.
"Father look" Angel said and she spun around.
She indeed looked like a student. She spun around showing her pleated skirt, a little too short for his taste, but for him, it should have been to her feet so not to show anything. Her shirt was a normal white blouse made of the finest material they could buy. Under her blouse was a small pearl necklace that she had been given last year from her mother. Lucius remembered how Cissa had been very emotional for the weight that the necklace had on Angel without her even realizing it. Somehow it was as if Angel felt something, especially as she refused to take it off.
"Wait, you have one thing missing" Narcissa said.
She ran off leaving to find something. When she returned a few minutes later she had a small box.
"Here" she said handing her the box.
As Angel opened the box she saw a green tie and smiled looking up at Narcissa curiously.
"It was your mother's" Lucius explained.
Indeed, it was Amorette's tie that she had worn all of her Hogwarts years. To Angel it was Narcissa's tie and she hugged her mother tightly.
"Thank you for giving me your tie mum" Angel murmured.
She got some help from Draco to tie it and she smiled seeing the silver and green tie on herself. She knew she would be Slytherin she had to.
"Let's head out now, we are late" Lucius said.
They headed off to the Hogwarts train. As they hugged and said their goodbyes, Draco had told Angel not to cry. They waved from the train and sighed in relief as they found an empty compartment.
"It's not that bad" Draco said hugging her close and letting her place her head on his shoulder.
"I miss them, but I wanted this for so long" she murmured.
Draco nodded and both fell in a comfortable silence. That was until the compartment door opened and they faced a girl and a boy both looking at them with curiosity.
"Who is she mate?" the boy asked.
"This is my sister Angeline" Draco explained "Angel this is Blaise Zabini, who I told you about and she's Pansy."
Angel turned to face them and smiled politely. Pansy was definitely the girly girl of the group always talking about the gossip heard all around. Apparently Harry Potter was not on the train and it amused them greatly making it seem like the year would be even more amazing. "A Potter Free year" they called it. As they got to know one another, two bubbling idiots, Gregory and Vincent appear. They seemed to be stumbling to try and speak to her, much to her disgust and Draco's amusement.
Halfway to their trip, the girls were left alone as the boys went off to get a snack. The girls were left in a light conversation mostly led by Pansy as Angel listened on. It seemed that the Slytherin girl knew a lot about everyone. And with that a question began to form in the younger girl's head.
"Pansy…" Angel began.
"Hm?"
"You know everyone in your year right?" she asked.
Pansy nodded, pride obviously around her.
"I was wondering if you know a boy…I saw him last year on the train. He had dark hair, black or brown, not sure" she muttered her memory being a little hazy, it was clearer in her dreams. "And his eyes,"
She stopped slightly a blush evident on her cheeks. Pansy smirked knowing what that meant.
"What about his eyes?" Pansy asked.
"They were green," she said in a wistful tone.
Pansy giggled making her blush even more.
"I don't know about the green eyes, but most girls look at Cedric as the handsomest guy. He's in Huffle-" she began.
"Does he wear glasses?" Angel asked.
Pansy shook her head.
"Glasses?" Pansy scrunched up her nose.
Angel nodded ignoring the look.
"He wore glasses that hid his eyes" Angel explained.
Pansy shrugged.
"Maybe he wasn't in our year. I don't know" Pansy said frowning "Sorry I can't be any help, but through this school year, I'll help find him" she said winking.
Angel cracked a smile at Pansy's antics. The girl was awfully nice and once the boys returned she gave no sign that she would tell them what she was asked and Angel appreciated that a lot. The rest of the ride was a peaceful one.
"We're here," Pansy said.
With that it seemed that the group separated: the second years went on the carriage ride and Angel got on the boat. She was very shy, and sat alone wondering exactly what the year was to bring, that is until a blond sat across from her.
"Hi! I'm Luna Lovegood" the blonde chirped.
"I'm Angel" she whispered in return a bit nervous at the interaction.
Despite all the money in the world, Angel was as shy as ever. She was not extroverted like her brother and she knew she could never take command of a room either. Instead she was a wallflower through and through.
"You're awfully shy" Luna said taking her in.
"I-I can't help it" she frowned in return.
A smile rose from the blonde and she giggled in return. "I'm not judging you for it, but I know that you are way more than just a bud."
"A bud?" Angel repeated confused.
"A rose bud! They don't bloom until ready! And it's okay to be shy, lots of creatures tend to be attracted to shyness."
"I-I'm not shy! I just don't like talking"
She said defensively. Still, her tone was not something that swayed the blonde as she kept talking about all the things she knew about Hogwarts and how magical it would be. Angel pretended not to listen but her eyes wouldn't trail too far from the blonde. It was finally silent when the floating lights showed them the large castle and it was then that everyone stood in awe.
As they were escorted out, she looked around for Draco but saw no one. Instead everyone was shuffled up the stairs to the main part of the castle.
"Welcome to Hogwarts" a voice hollered. Angel looked on at the tall and intimidating looking man. He looked happy to see everyone, and she politely smiled in return.
As they walked into the Great Hall, it was clear that they would be entering at a later time from the older students; she knew it meant that it was the sorting ceremony that would soon start. Many people murmured about her already wearing a tie showing her preference. She heard clearly from a voice:
"I hope she gets sorted into Hufflepuff"
She turned to see Ginny Weasley and glared. She was in no way a Hufflepuff and before she got to respond, a hand grabbed hers. She turned to see a dark haired girl with a smile.
"Don't even bother, a Malfoy always goes to Slytherin," she said. "I'm Astoria Greengrass"
Angel smiled.
"Angel Malfoy" she said and shook her head earning herself a new friend.
As names were being called out, she stared around trying to find the boy with the green eyes. She couldn't spot him and it somewhat disappointed him. She saw Astoria being sorted into Slytherin and they hugged before she walked over to sit next to her sister Daphne. After a while, she began to get distracted, that is until she heard being called out.
"Malfoy Angeline" she heard being called out.
She jumped at the voice but quickly walked over towards the sorting hat. She sat down on the chair and let the hat touch her head. She expected it go to quickly like Draco's had. He had boasted at how it had barely touched his head before it had boomed his sorting. It seemed that this wouldn't be the case.
"Hm….a Malfoy you say…how interesting." he began "You are loyal…..very loyal something almost unseen in a Malfoy"
Angel glared up at the hat.
"Don't get snippy with me child, merely stating your characteristics. No, you are far too strong to be in Hufflepuff. You are very intelligent, wit running through your mind. Yes, and the color does suit you, but no, too bold to be a Ravenclaw"
It began to hum and Angel was beginning to feel her cheeks reddening as it took forever. She felt the eyes of Headmaster Dumbledore on her and felt exposed. Was this normal?
"Don't be shy my dear…you are brave, bravery runs deeply in your veins. Bravery is in your heart, and you are daring"
"Don't you dare" she hissed.
The hat lifted his brow and smirked.
"No? Slytherin is your choice correct? Well what a shame, but it's true, Slytherin quite fitting. You are cunning and ambitious and your bonds are strong. My only wish is for you to find happiness."
Angel was confused. Gryffindor? No, she was Slytherin. Suddenly the door was opened and her eyes landed on the boy with green eyes. Her heart began to beat even faster, much to her embarrassment, and her eyes never left him. She felt disgust as he was with a Weasley, then it hit her. No. She shook her head and saw him sit at Gryffindor. Her hands gripped the stool even tighter than before.
"Ah I see you are already getting in trouble. Tsk tsk, sure about not being in Gryffindor?" she glared. "Very well child, good luck with trouble…"
"SLYTHERIN!" it screamed out.
Everyone clapped in the Slytherin table, but she didn't notice. She walked over towards Draco, somewhat in a daze and took his hand as he helped her onto the long table. She forced a smile and accepted hugs from her new friends. She looked around and her eyes landed on the boy.
"Seems he arrived fashionably late Pans" Blaise commented.
"Shame" Pansy muttered.
"Potty is late, shame, it would have been a great year." Draco smirked.
She felt disgust as herself; she had been infatuated with Potter. She couldn't concentrate. She felt someone grab her hand and she turned to face Pansy who had come up with the same conclusion. She leaned over and whispered to her.
"We'll talk later"
Angel nodded and looked at the sorting. As Ginerva Weasley, (horrible name) was sorted into Gryffindor, it seemed the sorting ceremony had ended. As soon as everyone took their seats the dinner appeared before them.
…..
Harry felt very lucky today. They had managed to survive the Whomping Willow and now had arrived in Hogwarts in one piece.
"Mate, did you notice they said Malfoy?" he asked.
Harry turned to face Ron.
"What are you talking about?" he asked.
"They were sorting a Malfoy," he said.
Hermione closed her book and sighed.
"Angeline Malfoy, Malfoy's younger sister" she said, "it took the sorting hat a while to find where she belonged, but she was sorted where a pureblood like them belongs" Hermione explained.
"Which one is she?" Harry asked.
"That one" Ron said "The one on the right of Malfoy"
Harry turned to see her and blinked. He knew those eyes; they belonged to the waving girl. At nights when he didn't have nightmares, he dreamt of her eyes and her waving at him every year. This year he was hoping to reach the train and get another goodbye from him. His eyes met hers and instantly they recognized each other once again.
"Bloody hell, she's staring" Ron mumbled.
"She's staring at Harry" Hermione realized.
Harry didn't hear them; he had finally realized her identity and she had his. He felt something in him drop as a glare was sent his direction. She looked away from him and a smirk appeared as she turned to face her brother. As the pair began to chat amongst one another he looked away.
He heard someone clear their throat.
"Potter…Weasley…come with me"
They turned to face Snape and they knew, it meant trouble. They already had to deal with angry Hermione, but now Snape… so much for luck. As they walked on, Harry had failed not notice two pair of eyes following him. One had a pair of bright green eyes staring at dreamily after him. The other, had brown eyes stared from the snake's lair, where they deemed her the princess of Slytherin.
Author's note: I know it's not exactly the same as the book, but I wanted to add something different. Angel is not in love with him, but infatuated. It's different than Ginny though. Ginny has a crush on the boy who lived, while Angel had a crush on the waving boy with green eyes. They care for the different halves of Harry. Review!
