The Forbidden Boy

Chapter 9

I was stunned. What just happen. Did I just kiss Draco Malfoy?? Oh my god. I couldn't leave the bathroom. I Just looked at myself in the mirror. Re-imaging what happen. I never want that memory to fade away.
I probably stayed in that bathroom for an hour, not caring if I missed my class.
I finally left the bathroom and found Ron standing next to Harry.
"Bloody hell Ella, you look like you were  under a love spell, why you have that big ass grin on your face? Harry said.
"No reason grumpy face." I said. Today Harry is taking me on an adventure and Ron decided to tag along. I didn't mind, Ron makes it more fun to be honest.
"I heard were having a new student Joining Hogwarts tomorrow." Ron said as he kicked some rocks.
"Really? Do you know who by any chance?" I said getting interested.
"I think her name is Samantha Riddle." Ron said completely Unphased. I could see Harry's face filling with anger and concern.
"Wait Ron, did you say she was a Riddle???" Harry said. 

"Yea. I hope she's nothing like his father or i'm going to personally throw her off the bridge." Ron replied.

We ended up walking in silence for the rest of the day, it got pretty tense after that. Ron is right, if shes ever like who-shall-not-be-named, then we have some problems. 

~~~~~~
As we got back to hogwarts, I saw Draco walking around like he just finished having an anxiety attack. No one was around him so I decided to go up to him.

"Hey you okay?" I said as I touched his shoulder. He felt so soft and warm, I just wanted to feel his embrace again. 

Instead of replying, he pulled me into a hug and cried. I was concerned. Draco never cries, like ever. 

"It's my dad. He's giving me away to Lord Voldemort.. I'm being chosen tomorrow." He chocked. I didn't know what to say to that. How could a father give away his child like that? How can one put their loves one in harm's way? I started to get mad.

"There is no way I'm letting him do that." I whispered as I ran my fingers through his hair. 

"You.. how.. he is more stubborn than I ever am. Don't even try Coleman." He said as he pulled away from me. 

~~~~~~~~
As I sat in charms, I couldn't even pay attention to Flitwick.  I couldn't even care about what he was saying. There was too many things going on. New student, and today is the day that Draco is getting chosen. I have to stop it. I'm not letting him do that. I would even go as far as taking his place. I need to think of a plan. 

"Now can anyone tell me what type of spell we have to use if we need to protect ourselves?" Flitwick said as he crossed his arms. Without hesitation,  Hermione was the first to raise her hand up. "Ah... how about Ms.Coleman?" He said as he walked towards me. 

Of course he picks me. I looked over at Hermione for some help, thankfully I can read lips and could make out what she said. "Its the uh shield spell.... Protego." I said. 

"Yes, good job Ms.Coleman." Filtwhick said. 

I still couldn't bring myself to pay attention. All I could've think about was Draco and his dad, and that new girl who I know is going to bring trouble. I don't like her already.

"Hello everyone.. today we have a new student today, and she is going to be sorted right away." Dumbledore said, he's obviously uncomfortable. I watch snapes facial expression change, and how he never breaks eye contact from Draco. 

"Everyone please welcome Samantha Riddle." Dumbledore announced.

On cue, a tall blonde wavy hair girl walked into the Great hall. Whispers were going around, as if we were thinking the same thing. No one of us knew that who-shall-not-be-named had a kid, let alone a daughter. 

I observed her every move until she sat down underneath the sorting hat. I can see her smirk as she laid eyes on Draco. It's like she already knew him. I didn't like this. There was no way I can compete with her, her skinny body, the way shes so confident in every move. 

"Hmmm ah yes, lets see here." The sorting hat started. " I can sense some confidence, I know just where to put you. Your tough, tough enough to break someone. Slytherin!" The sorting hat finished off. 

Everyone but Pansy started clapping and cheering as Samantha walked down to the slytherin table. I couldn't stop looking at her as she made her way down to Draco. He didn't look so happy to see her though. I wonder why. I see Blaise pushing off a kid and plotting himself next to her. 

I don't think I'm going to like Samantha Riddle.
