Being His Daughter CONTINUED

Stupid

"Draco! Come on! We're going to miss the train if you don't hurry!" I pounded on his door for about the hundredth time until it finally swung open. I almost hit him with the absence of the door. He smirked at me and grabbed my arm.

"I'm ready, I'm ready," he said as he pulled me down the stairs. We arrived in the living room, where our trunks were waiting from the night before when we had lugged them down here. Draco was just taking forever to fix his hair in the morning of course, so we were already running about ten minutes late.

"There you two are!" Narcissa said breathlessly. "We need to go!" She shoved me toward the fireplace and I grabbed a handful of Floo Powder.

"Kings Cross Station!" Green flames erupted around me, and soon I fell out on the floor but stood up quickly, wiping the ashes off of my jeans. I had my robes in my trunk and didn't bother to put one over my clothes.

Draco came out after but didn't fall. I glared at him with he grinned and said, "Oh you're standing this time." I laughed and shoved him arm as Narcissa and Lucius stepped out, graceful as ever.

"Go, go, go!" Lucius urged and he guided us out of the small shop in Kings Cross and into the main train station. Draco and I rushed through, pulling our things behind us.

"I hate being rushed," Draco mumbled bitterly. I rolled my eyes, panting from lugging my trunk and owl cage.

"Well maybe if you didn't spend forever on your hair-"

"Shut it." He cut me off and I glared at him as we arrived at the stone pillar between platforms 9 and 10 for the second time. The glare washed off my face as I sped through the pillar without a second thought and felt the familiar sensation of being morphed into a new world.

I grinned up at the gleaming red train as Draco came through behind me. I looked up at the clock. 10:55 am. The train left at exactly 11:00 am. We made it just on time. Without thinking, I bolted to the train. Someone grabbed onto my arm, holding me back though. I turned to see Lucius. He had a sad smile on his face. "You're not even going to say goodbye?" he asked. I smiled and dropped my things, wrapping my arms around him. This nice moment seemed to take us both by surprise, because when we pulled away our eyes were slightly wider.

I moved to Narcissa and she squatted down to my height and pulled me to her. I inhaled the familiar scent of her expensive perfume and hugged her tighter. "You be careful this year, okay?" she said quietly into my hair.

"I will," I said, releasing her. "Just like I was last year." I know that wasn't very comforting, since I broke a leg last year, but the look she gave Lucius told me there was something more than that bothering her. Instead of asking about it, I stayed silent, save for a few laughs, as Draco said goodbye to them. Narcissa purposely left a lipstick mark on his pale cheek, which he tried to scrub off as we hurried onto the train. We dropped off our things at the front, only taking our smaller bags with our robes, and then made our way down the narrow hall to find the compartment full of our Slytherins.

Not long after, the train began to move. I peeked through the glass of the compartment farthest to the back and beamed as I swung it open. Two screams followed after as my two best girl friends jumped up and hurled themselves at me. I fell out of the compartment and slammed against the window of the opposite one as they hugged me tightly. I laughed loudly and tried to wrap my arms around the both of them.

Sierra! I missed you so much!"

"It's so good to see you!"

"I missed you guys too!" I said when they finally backed away from me, both of their faces shining with sweat and excitement.
