Chapter Five: Emmeranne

"Is it here yet", Leandra asked.

All of my stepsiblings and I were in Platform 9 and 3/4. I couldn't wait to go to Hogwarts for the first time. I was so excited when I received my letter. But I'm surprised I'm not the one asking if the Hogwarts Express is coming.

"Will you be quiet?", my father snapped.

Usually he'd probably be at Hogwarts already but he decided to take the train along with us so we won't be alone. But we all know he doesn't care about anyone except me.

Leandra glared at him with her green eyes then turned away. Then her expression lightened up.

"Look, it's coming " Leandra squealed as she pointed at the approaching train. I smiled for the first time in months as the train started to slowly come to a stop. When it finally did stop, Leandra and I didn't hesitate to climb aboard along with all the other passengers.

"Bye dad", I said as he disappeared somewhere in the train and I leave with Leandra another way.

We walk through the train, looking for a place to sit. I look at everyone walking by us, and that's when I see him.

I watch a boy walk through the train. He has white-blonde hair and amazing gray eyes. He looks so handsome. Then I hear another boy calling after him. "Malfoy! Malfoy wait".

So I guess that's his last name, I thought. I'm need to know his first name. I finally found something worth living for. I never thought love at first sight could be real, but know I know it is.

"Emmeranne look ", Leandra says as she elbows me back into reality. That's when I start to worry. She is so beautiful with her long brown hair and green eyes and fair but not pale skin. I worry that Malfoy might notice her instead of me. I shake that thought for two reasons. Reason One: that probably won't happen. Reason Two: I'm talking like an idiot in love.

I notice that she's pointing at someone. Then I see she's pointing at Harry Potter,  our half-brother.

"Come, let's go meet him", Leandra said excitedly as she pulled me in his direction. I forgot that part of her List of Things To Do When I'm At Hogwarts is to meet our half-brother. I don't love this idea because I feel like it's his fault our mother is dead.

Leandra starts talking to him and explaining how we're related and stuff. When she introduces me, I just waved. We all go sit together (did I mention we were also with some redheaded guy named Ron or something). The trio chatted away while I sat quietly.

Then the boy I fell in love with came in. I stared at him while he had a conversation with Harry. I guess they won't be friends because Harry didn't shake Malfoy's extended hand. I should start calling him Draco because I just heard him say that that is his name. Draco Malfoy. I like it, it's unique.

I was nervous while he was in here, but my heart went wild when he looked at me. He smirked at me, then turned his attention back to Harry. But first I gave him a small smile. I can't believe it. He likes me.

I don't know what happened later, because I was still a little dazed, but he left. I went back to frowning in my seat while Leandra, Harry, and Ron started talking again. At least he noticed me quickly.
