Always Yours

Long Lost Fiancée

Draco took a deep breath as he finally got into one of the empty compartments of Hogwarts Express.

He couldn't believe this day would finally come. The day he'd be back at Hogwarts to repeat his seventh year after the war.

The Slytherin actually didn't feel excited about it. If he had to choose, he would definitely opted not to go back to the blasted school again. He was traumatised with the war, especially after witnessing the death of Vincent Crabbe in the Room of Hidden Things. Crabbe wasn't exactly one of his favourite friends as Draco always thought he was only an idiot who always followed him around wherever he went, but still.. He couldn't just forget that.

Unfortunately for Draco, his parents didn't allow him to just staying behind the school like that. They thought it was crucial for Draco to finish his education despite everything. Narcissa and Lucius had been pushing him to change his mind and in the end, he finally gave up and agreed to come back to Hogwarts this year, just for the sake of his parents. Hence why he was here now.

"Draco mate, it's good to see you."

The blond smirked when he caught the sight of Blaise Zabini standing near the door. "Hey, Blaise."

"Excited to start another year at Hogwarts?" the Italian asked as he took a seat next to his blond friend.

"You know me, Blaise. When did I ever feel excited to start another year at this pathetic excuse of school?" he scowled, making Blaise let a chuckle.

"Lighten up, mate. I heard there is a new girl joining our year. An exchange student. Theo saw her earlier and he told me that she's bloody fit."

Draco barked out a laugh at his Italian friend. "Blaise, Blaise, still looking for a right girl, I see?"

"Well, this time I'd just let you have her. See how a good friend am I to you now?" Blaise grinned before standing up from his seat. "I'm gonna go back to my compartment. Pansy, Theo, and Greg are there, why don't you just sit with us?"

"Nah, I'm perfectly content here alone. You go on then."

And then Blaise left him after giving out names from their year who came back to repeat the seventh year. He heard Pothead, the Weasel, and Know-It-All Granger's names were included as well as the Patil twins, Longbottom, Finnigan, and several other names. Fucking brilliant.

Ten minutes later, the compartment door was opened again.

Draco who was busy reading a book his Mum bought few days ago, snapped his head toward the door, slightly feeling annoyed to be bothered. However, next thing he knew when he saw the person behind it, the feeling was gone.

There was thing young woman, probably the same age as he was, standing there wearing blue muggle jeans, navy blue tank top, and brown leather jacket. She almost looked like a porcelain doll, especially with her flawless fair skin, heart-shaped face, rounded eyebrows, her perfectly shaped nose, and her hazel eyes. Oh oh.. and her lips, they were really to die for. Full and red.. Draco couldn't help but stare at her lips for a second. He wondered what would it feel like kissing those lips..

Merlin, she was really beautiful. Who was she? He clearly remembered he had never seen her in Hogwarts before. She was probably the girl that Blaise mentioned before.

Still amazed with her beauty, Draco didn't remember he was about to snap at this girl.

The girl smiled sweetly at him as she took a step inside the compartment. "Sorry to interrupt, but do you mind if I sit here? Everywhere else is full."
