Orla Ricci, a young teenager from Ireland, travels to Hogwarts to seek protection from her past. While at Hogwarts, Orla falls for the devilish Draco Malfoy who she slowly sees as misunderstand and a doorway to her dark past she has tried so hard to...
Orla walked up the stairs of the Slytherin tower and opened the room with the number 231 printed on the door. Everywhere she looked, green covered her vision. There was one full sized bed placed in the center with a writing desk off to the side right in front of a window. A bookshelf lined one wall, filled with a few books and her class materials. A closet wardrobe with her uniforms was tucked into a corner and a huge Slytherin banner covered the wall behind her bed. Her bag and suitcase were laid on her bed.
She sighed before closing the door and locking the latch before walking over towards the floor length window. Outside she had a perfect view of a huge forest and a lake beside it. Oral starred out the window for a while before turning back towards her bed and starting to unpack her suitcase.
After putting away her clothes, books, and other random items, she laid her favorite grey fluffy blanket on her bed, she climbed underneath it. Grabbing her wand she held it out before a stream of light came from it producing shards of glass.
'Now no one can get me.' She thought before turning over and closing her eyes.

"Welcome to advanced potion everyone! I am Professor Slughorn and will be helping you pass this class. I hope you all enjoy making potions as much as I do." An older gentleman wearing a red robe announced before grabbing a piece of paper and looking down at it.
"In this class, we will have many potions that we shall make with a partner. I have made a list of partners here so that way no one will be left out." Orla mentally groaned at the thought of working with someone, but maybe this would be the perfect opportunity to make a friend. 'I guess I should try at least.'
Professor Slughorn read off a list of names before her name was listed off with the Malofy boy. 'His name is Draco.. interesting.' Orla thought as he brought his chair towards her slowly. He looked her over taking in how her looks had changed once she put the school uniform on and tied her hair back with a black ribbon.
"Sorry you had to be paired up with me. I'm sure you would want to be with your jerk friends." Orla motioned towards the Blaise boy and another person sitting next to him. "It's nice to get a break from them occasionally." Draco muttered before grabbing his book.
"Draco." Orla says nodding to him before looking over the potion they were told to make. "Where were you before you came here?" Draco asks while adding in a few scoops of powdered moonstone. "Ireland." Orla looks down at her book before picking up a saturated oil to make the powder into a liquid.
"Should've known that by your accent." Draco sighs before pushing two unicorn horns towards her. Orla shakes her head and starts to grate the horns over the potion pot. "I suppose you could have." Silence laced between them as Draco added 7 porcupine quills to the potion.
"What do you do for fun around here?" Orla asked, trying to distance herself from social isolation. Ever since the events of the last few months occurred, she had kept herself distant from others, even her parents. "Well, us Slytherin like to cause mischief amongst our peers. We also like to throw parties, lots of them."
