I've Been Searching For You - (Draco Malfoy)

CHAPTER 3

                                  "Grabbed my neck and made me look him directly in the eyes" 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I woke up feeling that the train stopped, Tayler was also asleep so I gently shook his arm a little to wake him up. 

"Tayler .... We've arrived." 

This guy woke up quickly, smiled at me and said without opening his eyes completly, "So fast?" we both laughed a bit. Quickly I got up and grabbed my luggage, I went to open the door, but Tayler stopped me."Allow me" and with a smirk on his face I saw him open the door for me, "Thank you", I said with a kind smile on my face, we both gave a little laugh.

But when I turned I saw him again, Malfoy, I saw he was staring at me with Tayler, I wanted to turn around and stop looking at him, but I just couldn't stop.

Suddenly I felt Tayler come out, I looked at him and to hide what I was doing a little I said, "We are supposed to meet a certain ... Hagrid? I think and so he will tell us how we will be sorted", "Don't ask me, I know absolutely nothing, I just heard that Slytherin is not the best choice to get sorted, it's full of Death Eathers' children and spoiled kids. "" Oh Merlin, "I laughed and continued, " Well then I guess let's get down and see if we see Hagrid " When I hear him answer me," Or let's hope he sees us ", we both laughed a little, until Tayler got closer to me and told me in a low tone of voice," I would cure that bruise from your arm before going down , just saying.."

Fuck, I totally forgot  that I had his hand marked on my arm, I grabbed my wand and said a little spell, that my mother taught me and the mark dissapeared.

------

Going down I met Ginny, she said "I see you did well in your time alone", "GINNY!" We laughed and I introduced him to Tayler, "Anyways, Tayler, Ginny, Ginny Tayler", "Nice to meet you." Tayler said, "Same" Ginny replied."Ginny can I ask you a question? Who is Hagrid?", Ginny looked around her and said, "Do you see that man with the long beard and quite tall? This is Hagrid, he is the groundskeeper of Hogwarts, come I introduce you."

This man looked so loving, kind, and welcoming, he was very tall, he must have been a semi-giant, "Ginny! How nice to see you again, how is your family?" said this man, "You must be Emily Sprouse and Tayler Hulftong the new fifth year students ..", "That's why I came for Hagrid, I was going to introduce them, but I see you already know them", she left out a chuckle.

"Hi, it's really nice to meet you", I said "Same", continued Tayler.

Hagrid told us to stay with him and the First years to head to the Great Hall and have them sorted by The Sorting Hat.

We waited a few minutes while everyone got off the Train, but while you were waiting, I saw how the boy who hit me before in the train approached me, and he said, "Hey beautiful, sorry, Malfoy has anger issues, we didn't introduced ourselves, I'm Blaise Zabini", I remained with a straight face, "he needs to control them, he can't be commanding everyone and treating them however he wants, plus-" when Malfoy interrupts, who was probably listening to everything I said, "Sure   I can slut, I do whatever I want, whenever I want and with whoever I want " this boy was getting very close to me, our faces were about 1 inch away, "Well not with me .. " I pushed him, and while I saw the anger that stood out from his penetrating gaze, he turned to approach me, grabbed my neck and made me look him directly in the eyes, and said, " You do what I say or you will  face the consequences, do you want me to punish you?" I didn't even get away from him, but I answered, "You won't do anything to me, you won't control me, and you are nobody to punish me ", at that moment I saw how Tayler, Hagrid and Blaise reacted and went to take Malfoy away, Hagrid told him," Malfoy will have to join me after dinner to talk to Dumbledore, and unfortunately you too Emily "I watched as Blaise led Malfoy and Tayler approached me.

"What in the fuck was that Emily, are you ok?" Tayler told me with a confused and concerned face.

I did not know what to think, what just happened? My mind went round and round, I didn't know what to do or say, I was just thinking about Malfoy and everything he made me feel, he was a despicable person, but his look, his hair, his touch, were things that I could not forget, I knew that he was a person who was carried away by his emotions, who took things to the other extreme, that it was horrible how he thought he could treat everyone around him as he pleased, this boy just made me feel hate; this emotion had only passed through my mind once, this was when my father stopped being present in my life, I saw little of him and instead of talking to me when he arrived from his mysterious trips, he gave me gifts that did not interest me at all, I felt angry at him for leaving my mother and me and not giving a shit.

Tayler interrupted me by saying, "Emily! Are you ok?", Then he look over at Hagrid, "Should I take her to the nurse?", "Im fine, im just shocked, how is he such an smug child ?!", I said angrily, but Hagrid said, "Ok, ok, I think it's time for us to get some air, the first years saw everything and they are a little scared, and you are angry, we better go to the Great Hall now. We're late ",              "Im so sorry Hagrid, I got carried away by the moment ", I had to apologize, I mean, I caused a scene in front of 11 year olds without sense, on the first day.

At that moment we approached the Great Hall, Tayler was silent for a while, until we crossed the entrance of the castle, "Emily, you know you can count on me, if that Draco Malfoy comes to approach you again, say or grab like that , he will have problems with me. " "Tayler you are very kind, but I can take care of myself, this Draco Malfoy will not be able to handle me, I will not even talk to him again, he will be one of the many guys in this school.", "Well I was just saying, I am here", I laughed a little, and I felt my body releasing the anger and hatred.

After walking through this big and a bit confusing castle, we arrived to the Great Hall, it was a giant, beautiful room, it had some type of candles hanging from the ceiling, you could see the starry sky from inside, there were four tables, separated by colors, I guess the colors of the houses, and in the front of the room the teachers were seated.

When we entered I felt like hundreds of eyes were fixed on us, although they all fell silent reaching to hear certain comments from some students,

"She is very pretty, in what year will she go" 

"How strange that they accept students at this point"

 "Look at him he's handsome"

At that moment Tayler comes closer to me and whispers, "I hope we get sorted  in the same house", and winckes, I felt tickles or chills on my back, but I hid them, "Me too", and I smiled at him, I saw George and Fred, I smiled to greet them, George smiled back at me, but Fred looked quite confused, I saw how he looked at my arm and didn't see the bruise, that I had gotten a friend , but then he smiled at me, it's not the most honest smile I've seen but he did.

We got to the teachers' table, and there was a chair, a man of average height, a beard and long, snow-white hair approached us, quite a few elegant robes and he  said, "Welcome, I'm Headmaster Dumbledore, stay here ahead, since they will be sorted before the first years ",           "Thank you " Tayler and I said immediately, and we stopped where Dumbledore indicated.

"Welcome to a new year here at Hogwarts School Of Witchcraft and Wizardy, we are very happy to see you all again, before starting the ceremony I wanted to tell you that apart from the first year we will have two new students in the fifth year, I hope all of you welcome them and help them with any doubt that they might have, well let's continue.... "Dumbledore was giving a speech but my mind began to observe the students, I saw the Ravenclaw table, they looked interesting, then Gryffindor, they looked funny, Hufflepuff, friendly, and Finally Slytherin, they looked ... intimidating or better dominant, few smiled, but as I looked at the table I saw Draco Malfoy, he did not take his eyes off me, I looked at him and he did not take his eyes off when I looked at him, we were like that for a moment but I remembered what I said and what happened before and I went back to Grynffindor and Fred was talking to George but his eyes were on me, before I could look at him Dumblerdore said, "Well it's time for a draw, Tayler Hulftong ... ", I looked at Tayler and whispered, "Good luck", he smiled at me and continued, the hat took more than 5 seconds to shout, "Gryffindor!", The Gryffindor table clapped excitedly, Tayler stood up and went to the table, everyone greeted him with enthusiasm and the moment came in which Dumbledore said, "Emily Sprouse"......
