Catherine's POV

I ended up sitting with Draco, Pansy, and Blaise on the way into Hogwarts, as Hermione was with Harry, Ron, and a new professor. The train went cold and I, sitting next to Draco, leaned into him for warmth. Frost covered the windows and I could almost see my breath. The door opened to show a dementor, and I clung to Draco further as Pansy clung to Blaise. It seemed to spend an extra second staring at me, before it continued on, closing the cabin door behind it.

"That was horrifying." I said, shaking slightly, from the cold or the damn dementor, I didn't know. Soon the train was warm again and the lights flickered back on.

"Why are they on the train?" Pansy asked.

"Sirius Black." Blaise said. "Didn't you read the Daily Prophet." I rolled my eyes.

"Spare me." I said, staying curled up to Draco because I was still a little chilled and he was warm. "That's all Grandpa talked about for what felt like the last bloody month. If I hear about that man one more time, I'm gonna kill someone."

"Is there a reason you're still all over me?" Draco asked. I shrugged.

"You're warm." I ran my hand through his hair. "Huh, decided that greasing it back wasn't your style anymore Draco?" He bat my hand away, causing me to giggle.

"You got a problem with my hair?" He asked. I shook my head.

"Oh no. It's suits you. It's more... what's the word I'm looking for." I ran my hand through it again. "It's cute." He blushed as he batted my hand away again, and then fixed it. Blaise and Pansy were watching on, laughing.

"I'm not cute." Draco huffed out. I gasped.

"That's not true Draco. You are absolutely adorable." I hugged him. "I mean look at you. Still got a little baby fat right here." I said, poking his cheek. "And I'd say that when it's all gone and you fill out a little more, you're going to be quite handsome." I sighed, putting the back of my hand to my forehead. "Heart throb of Slytherin house, breaking hearts left and right." I giggled again, causing Draco to blush more.

"What about you?" He asked, motioning to me. "I've seen three fourth years checking you out when you walked past them on the platform already." I blushed.

"He's right." Blaise said as he gave me an appraising look. "You are turning out to be pretty hot. If I'm right, you're going to have fantastic tits." I blushed, as did Draco, and Pansy just slapped Blaise's arm.

"Watch your language, your are in the presence of a lady." She said.

"Only one?" Blaise asked. I hummed.

"Guess she must be talking about you Draco. Pansy and I aren't ladies." I said.

"Excuse me!" He snapped out. I giggled.

"You care about your hair more than I do mine." I said, flipping my ponytail back over my shoulder.

"She has a point, mate." Blaise said as he leaned back.

"You can all sod off." I giggled as I leaned against him again.

"How will you eat sweet pies and have me carry your books around school if I go away though?" I asked playfully. Draco began to ignore me. I giggled more as I returned to talking with Pansy and Blaise about the coming year and how excited I was to be taking Care of Magical Creatures.

"You're really that excited?" Pansy asked. I nodded.

"Yeah! It's gonna be awesome. I wonder what the first creature will be?" I hummed, turning so Draco was my new back rest.
