Draco’s new Lover
Chapter 1: The new girl
Draco sat at his seat in the great hall in Hogwarts. 6 years he had been sitting here. He sat back and watched as the first year students shuffled in, ready and waiting to be sorted into their new houses. Draco and never really been bothered with the first years, except for when they came up to him, that was just annoying, and yet still he put on his best smile and welcomed them to Slytherin. This year though, he just sat there, bored out of his mind, watching and waiting for it to be over. And finally it was. Slytherin had had a good year this year; they had gotten the most kids out of the first years, great, more little people for the common rom.
He let out a loud sigh, and got an ‘I’m judging you’ look from Pansy Parkinson, that was her signature look. “Now students I know you are all probably anxious to get started on the feast but first we have one more student to welcome to Hogwarts. She is a student that was, until now, enrolled at our sister school Beauxbaton. So, it is now my pleasure to welcome Miss Melissa Wood!”
Everyone looked towards the entrance of the great hall as a petite girl, who looked to be Draco’s age walked in. Well pranced in, she didn’t really walk, she looked more as if she were as light as a feather, afraid she’d blow away. But underneath that daintiness was a strong and sturdy young woman. She had the biggest eyes Draco had ever seen, they were the palest blue, kind of cloudy yet they were crystal clear. The thing that stood out the most however, was her hair. It was the darkest hair he had ever seen. It was so dark that it looked like it was pulling all the light surrounding it in, absorbing it.
The whole time that she was walking to the sorting hat, Draco watched her. As the sorting hat was placed on her head it wasn’t a split-second before the name Slytherin was called out. A small half smile, half frown came over the girls face as she stood and made her way to the Slytherin table. All the boys stared at her, she was truly gorgeous, and everyone knew it. There was only one space left at the Slytherin table, and it happened to be right next to Draco.
“Hi, I’m Melissa, but I suppose you already know that, especially with the attention that you’ve been paying to me, the whole time you were watching me I don’t think I ever saw you blink” She even had a gorgeous voice, the kind of voice that made you want to sing, the kind of voice that made even the birds stop to listen. That’s when Draco realized he was still staring at her. He heard Pansy giggling in the background.
“Oh, right, yeah, well it’s not often we get a new student especially one from Beauxbaton, wait you don’t have a French accent?” Draco was getting flustered, how had she known he was staring at her? She hadn’t even looked his way!
“Yes, most of my friends made fun of my English accent, I don’t originally come from France, we had to move there though just before I started school, I was supposed to come here though, to Hogwarts” She spoke, never taking her eyes of Draco.
“Ah, I see, so hey if you need a tour or anything, just let me know, I’d be happy to show you around, if you like”
“Merci that would be great!”
Draco and Melissa were quiet for the rest of the feast but Draco could feel that by the end she was sick of the stares from the rest of the boys, so he took her out and showed her to the Slytherin common room and dorms.
“So, tomorrow’s Sunday so I can show you around if you still want me to that is, oh I also have Quidditch practice at 3:30 so yeah we might need to go early if you want to see the whole school grounds” Draco realized he was babbling so he went quite.
“That would be great! Merci”
“Well just so you know, I have my own room just down there, just knock on the door when you get up and I’ll hopefully come out, if I don’t come out straight away, just keep knocking and now I’m rambling and I’m sorry but this happens sometimes”
Her reply was a small smile and a kiss on the cheek “Goodnight Draco” She smiled and turned around to go to the girls’ dorms.
