"The Girl Who Lived" Draco x Cecilia(an OC)

Part 2

He looks over at me and we make eye contact for a split second, only to have dad bring me back to reality for a second time this morning.

"Hey Cecilia! I'm going to head to the teacher's compartment in the back, so you wanna to come?"

"No thank you dad, I wanted to use the train ride to make some friends before i get to school, if that's okay with you?"

"Well alright. Play nice, Cecilia"

"Alright, Dad"

Dad heads to the front of the train with the other teachers. I have about 5 minutes to find somewhere to sit. I go down a few rows, all of which are full. I see a fluffy brown haired girl sitting with a awkward looking boy, and i decide they have enough problems. I reach a row that's completely empty, but i want to make friends, so i'll see if there are any seats that actually have people in them. I approach a booth that has a boy with black hair, and a boy with ginger hair. They seem nice enough, maybe i could ask them if they know if any people i could sit with. or maybe i could sit with them?

"Um, hi! I'm Cecilia, and i was wondering if i could sit with you, or if you know of somewhere I could sit? I'd prefer to not sit alone, but-"

I noticed them staring at me with dumbfounded expressions.

"Um- sorry for rambling, i should just go.."

I turned to leave, but i heard them talking.

"I'm telling you Harry! She looks EXACTLY like you!"

"You're being ridiculous, Ron"

I was so busy listening to what they had to say, I bumped into someone.

"I-I'm so sorry, I wasn't paying attentio-"

Then i saw who i had bumped into.

"Oí!" He looked mad, then he saw who I was. "Hey! You're that girl from yesterday, right?"

"Um, yeah I am" I reply avoiding eye contact.

"You should come sit with me."

"Sure!" I said a little too eagerly. " I mean, Sure. Sounds cool." I try to say cooly.

He laughs, and he asks, "Have you seen any empty seats? I cant seem to find any..."

"Yeah, actually, follow me" I say as I grab his hand and pull him along.

We go past the compartment with Harry and Ron, who look at us funny. And then stop before the compartment with the girl with the funny hair, and the awkward boy. We sit diagonally from Harry and Ron, Who continue to give us funny looks.

We get into the booth, him sitting across from me.

We sit awkwardly for a while until he said,
"So, I never got your name..."

I had relaxed a little bit, so smugly replied with, "Well, I never got yours."

"I asked you first." he said sharing the smug look.

"Fine. My name is Cecilia. Your turn."

"Draco."

"That's a nice name." I said.

"Same to you."

We made eye contact for a long while, until he said, "Your eyes, they're so cool!"

"Oh, uh, thanks! My dad said I was born with Blue eyes , but there was an incident that made this one green" i replied pointing to my right eye.

"Wicked!" he said in awe.

He noticed my cat. " Cute cat. What's its name?"

"His name is Charcoal" I said, petting him.

"It suits him nicely." He said.

He got up and came to my side of the booth. " Charcoal was sitting between us and purring in slumber.

"May I?" Draco said gesturing to Charcoal, wanting to pet him too.

"Of course," I say.

"I've always wanted a cat, by my mother is deathly allergic." He smiles sadly.

"I'm sorry to hear that, Draco. Feel free to pet Charcoal whenever." I smile at him.

"Well would you look at that Crabb, Malfoy's got a girlfriend!" an unknown voice said.

The other voice laughed and said," You're right, Goyle!"

Draco and I look up at the two laughing faces. "Ha ha," Draco laughs sarcastically. "Very funny. Now Shut Up and sit down."

Crabb and Goyle sit down across from us, and immediately start cracking jokes. They're actually pretty funny. They have a mean sense of humor though, but funny nonetheless. About half way through the train ride, someone knocks on the glass of the booth. We all stop laughing and look at the unexpected guest, it was the fluffy haired girl from before. "Pardon me, but have you seen a toad? My friend, Neville's lost one."

"Im sorry, but we haven't seen a toad." I say before Crabb or Goyle can say anything rude.

"Ok, well thanks anyway." she says. "I'm Hermione Granger. And you are?"

"I'm Cecilia Snape. Nice to meet you."

We shake hands and he disappears down the hall.

"She seems nice" I say.

"Your last name is Snape? As in Severus Snape?" Draco says quizzically.

"Um, yeah. I'm his adopted daughter." I say with an obvious look on my face.

"Awww lucky! you're related to a Professor!!" Crabb whines.

"What happened to your real parents?" Goyle asks.
"They're dead." I say my face clear  of emotion.

"Oh. I'm sorry," Draco says.

"Well I didn't know them at all, so it's no big deal." I say looking back down and Charcoal.
There was silence for a moment. Until Goyle said,"Hey! Maybe you could extra credit if something, since your dad is the professor and all..."

"My dad will go as hard me as everyone else, I'm sure. " i say. "I hope he doesn't favor me... that would be embarrassing...and i really don't want people to hate me my first year here."

"I'm sure they won't hate you Cecilia. As long as you're not as mean as other students say he is." Draco said, Crabb and Goyle nodding in agreement.

"If you say so." I say begrudgingly.

We continue talking, and the train ride soon ends and we arrive at Hogwarts.
