IS IT LOVE? - a Draco Malfoy FanFiction

the carriages

NIEVE POV)

the steam train pulled up at the station and loads of students wearing long robes flooded the platform. I held onto Olivia's arm as the crowd pulled us along. 

"FIRS' 'EARS! FIRS' 'EARS OVER 'ERE!" i heard a deep shout and saw it as coming from a giant man! nervously, we approached with all the other first years. i caught a glimpse of platinum blonde hair and remembered Draco. is it weird that, i just want to run up to him and hug him? 

"did you say something Nieve?" ron asked me and looked around, "who are you looking at?" CRAP! did i say that out loud!?

"oh... no! no i didnt. lets go, i heard they have magic carriages to take you to the castle!" i exclaimed, changing the subject before he asked me anything else.

reunited with Olivia, we were told to go the the second carriage from the front. i saw it, the silver detail glistened in the moonlight. ron and Olivia climbed into the carriage and sat down. now it was my turn the problem was, they were quite high up! i needed to lift up the bottom of my robes so that i didnt trip. 

i awkwardly clambered into the carriage after them and sat on the hard wooden bench. a boy with black hair on the other side of the carriage and a girl who looked familiar climbed in after him. when she looked up i gasped, HERMIONE!

OLIVIA POV)

a boy with black hair, that was parted so that a strange faint scar was visible, and girl climbed into the carriage and sat opposite us. when nieve saw the girl she froze. it was strange, she looked so scared and vulnerable! iv never seen her like this!

"nieve... is something wrong?" i asked her. she just shook her head and her hands started to shake slightly. i could tell that she was either about to cry or scream with anger so i hugged her. she gladly huged me and muttered so that no one could hear, "its her"

i hardly ever saw Nieve cry, she was one tough cookie! she was very protective over her family so she usually cried over that. she acted all tough, confident and some thought she was 'badass' but i knew her as the shy, vulnerable girl who was so innocent and never opened up to anyone. she was always so oblivious to what everyone really thought of her! 

girls wanted to be like her; to be honest, i didnt blame them! i was the only one who knew about her past and she wants to keep it that way.
