New Girl

2. The Hogwarts Express

    "Hey guys! You four got an empty compartment," said Hermione who just entered the compartment where Harry, Ginny, Ron, and Ginny's best friend Neville already sat. "Ya, we're lucky this year," responded Ron smiling. Hermione sat down next to Ginny. "So, Hermione, how does it feel being the Head Girl?" asked Harry. "I'm pretty excited, only problem is that Draco Malfoy is the Head Boy." "Malfoy?!" "How did he become the Head Boy, he was a death eater! I'm surprised he could even come back to Hogwarts, along with his Slytherin gang," exclaimed Ron. "About that, what's the deal with Clea and Draco?" asked Harry. "Isn't that clear? They are dating," said Ron. "I don't know, they didn't kiss... they may just be really old friends," responded Harry. "I really wish I had been there to see that!" exclaimed Ginny. "I heard that she's really pretty," added on Neville. Ron grunted. In that moment, the door of the compartment opened. "Hey! Is it okay if I sit with you five?" "Oh, hi Clea!" "Of course." "Wow, it's true," murmured Neville looking at Clea. "What is?" asked Clea. "Oh, er- I just heard that your really pretty," said Neville looking at the ground. Clea laughed. "Why thanks! I don't think I have met you two," said Clea to Neville and Ginny. "I-I'm Neville Longbottom." "And I'm Ginny Weasley," said Ginny. 

     And for the second time in the last minute, the compartment door opened. There stood Draco Malfoy with his arms crossed, looking at Clea. "What do you want Ferret?" sneered Ron. Draco sneered back at him, before calming his look again. "Clea, I need to talk to you," he said looking back to Clea. "We can do that at Hogwarts," said Clea annoyed. "Clea... come on," responded Draco getting impatient. He took a deep breath. He couldn't loss his temper even before they reached Hogwarts. "Fine but quickely." Clea stood up and walked out of the compartment. Draco turned on his heel and followed her.

      Clea stood looking at how Draco closed the door of the compartment. "What is it, Draco?" said Clea. Draco looked at her. "Those are the people that brought my mother pain and sent my father to Azkaban. They killed my relatives and took all my money!" Clea looked down. "Clea, those are the people that sent your father to Azkaban." Draco stepped closer to her. "And you're acting as if they didn't do anything, as if they didn't just ruin your life." Clea looked at him angrily. "Our fathers were death eaters. What did you expect?", hissed Clea. Draco stepped closer to her, he could now feel the angry breaths from Clea on his face. "Just because they're the good side and won the war, doesn't mean they did only good things," whispered Draco staring into her eyes. He shook his head. "They killed and took too. They killed friends of ours." When Draco said the last part, a tear rolled down Clea's face, making her automatically look down. "I miss my father, Draco. I don't know what I should do." As she said that, her voice broke. "I just want to fix everything," she whispered, "I try to forget what they have done to my family, try to forgive them, try to remember want good they have done." Draco wiped a tear from her cheek. Her red rimmed eyes looked at him. They stared into each others eyes, having a silent fight but agreement at the same time. Draco placed his forhead against hers. "Everything will be okay, I'm here for you," whispered Draco. Clea smiled. He suddenly got a weird feeling in his stomach. He wanted to stay like this forever and just stare into her eyes.

   Clea jumped away from him as the compartment door opened. "Um, hi, Hermione," said Clea. Draco grinded his teeth, before turning towards the door. "What do you want?" sneered Draco. "Don't be such an ass, Ferret," snapped Hermione. "Just asked what you want, know-it-all," said Draco simply. Hermione rolled her eyes annoyed, "I just wanted to tell Clea that we're about to arrive," she said, before turning around and leaving the compartment. "Um, ya. I'm going to then too. See ya at Hogwarts," said Clea a little unsure. She looked into Draco's eyes with a smile for a second, then she turned around and followed Hermione out of the compartment. Draco stood there for a few seconds, before putting on his trade mark smirk and leaving the room.
