Collided Hearts: A Hogwarts story

7.

  I broke out of my thoughts when the lady came to our compartment. "Anything from the trolley dears?" We all politely said no. The rest of the group continued their conversation and I was bored of just sitting there so I got up and left the compartment without saying a word. I took this as a chance to find Olive. I hurried down and looked in every compartment until I spotted her blonde curly hair. I opened the compartment and she was with Luna and Neville.

"Olive!" I exclaimed. She turned to look at me and broke out into a huge smile. "Bella! I've missed you so much. Come sit with us!" She pulled my hand and sat me down next to her. "Hello Bella" said Luna in a dreamy voice. "Hi Luna! Hi Neville!" I replied. "Hey Bella" he replied quietly. Neville is a sweetheart. I like listening to him talk about his plants, no one ever seems to listen. Olive is his bestfriend and he seems to open up more around her.

We slowly broke out into our own conversations. I started telling Olive about the dreams I've been having over the summer about my dad. She gave me an understanding smile. Her dad left when she was little so she never really knew him. She lives with her mom in a beautiful cozy house that's surrounded by flower fields. It's almost like a cottage really, I wouldn't be surprised if I saw fairy's there. I've been over numerous times, and her mom treats me like her own.

"Oh my Merlin you won't believe what happened the other day." I started. "We ran into Malfoy at Flourish and Blotts and he insulted everyone but me. He even called me Bella!" When I told Olive this, she stared at me in disbelief before laughing. "The Draco Malfoy? Called you Bella? Ha! Good one." I stared at her with no emotion until she came to the realization that I wasn't joking.

"Oh. You're serious? Well, it's not a new thing Belle, I mean maybe the name thing but he's never really insulted you. If I didn't know any better I'd say he has a thing for you." She said. Bloody hell first Ginny now her too? "Seriously why in the bloody hell does everyone keep saying that?! You're meaning to tell me that Draco Malfoy, the cold hearted spoiled rich boy might have a thing for me? Just because he doesn't insult me like everyone else?!" By now I hadn't realized that my voice had gotten higher and was practically shouting.

Luna and Neville stared at me like I was going mental. If I heard one more person say that about Malfoy, I think I would go mental.

  We all sat in awkward silence before Luna spoke up. "Oh guys, my house is throwing a back to school party on Friday. All of the houses are invited so."

  A party? Maybe it would be good for me to go to a party. "Sure sounds like fun. Neville and I will be there and I'll tell the others" I told Luna. She gave me a light smile in response.

  It was now dark and we had finally arrived at Hogwarts. I said bye to Olive and Luna and made my way with Neville towards the Gryffindor table. I was about to sit down when Fred called me over towards them. "Oh sorry Neville, I'll see you later?" He turned to me and nodded understandingly. I sat down next to Fred with George and Lee across from us.

  "So where are the girlfriends?" I said in a light scoff.

  "Listen Belles, we wanted to apologize about earlier. We didn't try to make you feel excluded, we even talked to the girls about it and their attitude towards you." George started.

  "Yea, I mean come on you're our best-friend. We love you, and if our girlfriends have a problem with you then that's their problem not ours." Fred continued as he ruffled my hair.

  I didn't say anything, I just gave them a weak smile before turning towards the head table with the professors. I had never crossed a line with the boys. I've always respected their relationships so I'm not sure why the girls were acting this way.

  Dumbledore began his speech and introduced the new professors. An ugly toad like woman dressed in all pink was introduced as the new DADA professor.

  I sat there in silence picking at my food. I wasn't that hungry. My eyes slowly wandered across the room when I caught a certain Slytherin staring at me. Oh god. He seemed to realize I had caught him and turned his attention back to his friends. Why in the hell was Draco Malfoy staring at me?

  I was now in my dorm with Ginny and Hermione. We were all too tired to talk so we went straight to bed after dinner.

                                  ☠︎︎

  I was awoken by someone hitting me in the face with a pillow. "Bella! Wake up or we'll be late for breakfast!" Hermione whisper shouted. I groaned into my pillow before pulling off my covers and getting ready.

  I made my way down towards the common room when I spotted Harry and Ginny sitting suspiciously close to each other..

  "Boo!" I shouted as I crept up behind them. They immediately moved away from each other  and Harry turned to look at me with a look of annoyance. "Blimey Bella. You can't just go up to people like that."

  "Oh yeah? Why's that? Afraid I'll catch you and Ginny snogging one of these days?" I chuckled.

  "Bella! Shut the hell up!" Ginny shouted with a blush on her face.

  "Whatever, come on Gin let's go to breakfast." I pulled her arm and we made our way towards the Great Hall.

  "What the actual fuck is wrong with you. Why would you say that in front of Harry!?" She furiously asked.

  "Calm down! I don't think he thought anything of it." I said before bumping into someone's chest.

  "Watch where you're go-" Malfoy seethed before noticing it was me. "Oh, sorry Marshall didn't see you there." Ouch. Marshall? Why the hell am I surprised he's only ever called me Bella once.

  I didn't notice that by now Ginny had left my side to go sit down. I awkwardly stood there in front of Malfoy before answering up. "That's alright Malfoy. Uh see you around." I walked around him to go sit down but he pulled my arm back.

  "W-would you maybe wanna hang out?" What the fuck. I didn't show it, but my insides were screaming. Draco Malfoy is asking me to hang out?

  "And why would I wanna do that?" I replied. He tightened his grip on my arm before leaning down into my ear,  "because if you don't, you'll regret it." He whispered maliciously. These words sent shivers down my spine.

  I never noticed how handsome he was. His soft blonde hair falling to his face. Those grey silvered eyes that I could lose myself in. I tried my best to make it seem like I was thinking of an answer instead of admiring him. "Fine." I replied sternly. He gave me a smirk and let go of my arm before making his way towards his table.

-DRACOS POV-:

I let go of her arm and made my way towards the Slytherin table. I have no idea what came over me but this girl was interesting. She didn't seem to fall at my feet like everyone else. She had this beautiful brown long hair that I wished to have in between my hands, pulling it back to hear her loud moans. Her soft rosy lips that I longed to taste with my own.

  I sat down next to Blaise still staring at the Gryffindork table. Her body was towards me so I had a perfect view. I admired how every time she laughed she had a slight wrinkle on her forehead or when she smiled two dimples formed at the side of her lips.

  Blaise must have followed my gaze when he spoke up ever so quietly. "Marshall huh? Never took you for a Gryffindor type guy, but then again you're full of surprises."

  "What? Oh her. No of course not." I lied through my teeth. This year was going to be very interesting..
