*Fast forward to third year*

Christmas break

I rested my face upon the icy-cold window as it stung my cheek, and gazed my eyes outside to the white filled lands.
The snow trickled down outside and the trees went from green to white.
The animals quickly finding a place to hibernate, and stay warm.

I hated leaving Hogwarts, but I did enjoy the scene of the snow falling on top of the buildings. The kids cheering with joy as they ran around in their puffy jackets and fur hats.

Serotonin rushed through my body as I roamed my eyes around the compartment Draco and I were sitting in.
It was filled with jolly decorations and Christmas lights wrapped around the seats.

Draco hates this time of year on the train. He says the decorations are cheesy and cheap.
But I think they're wonderful.

My eyes lingered over to where Draco was sitting, across from me, as he took his little power nap.
I crossed my arms, dying of the boredom that took over my body.
Of course Draco had to be sleeping when I needed him the most.

I gazed back at the window, glaring at the snow that sat so pretty on top of the mountains.
I listened carefully to the loud sound of the train pounding over the train tracks.
Until suddenly, I was in the mood for some Chocolate frogs.

I stood up carefully, and stretched my body from the long hours I've been sitting down for.
I trudged over to the food trolley where they always sold the sweets, and my stomach rumbled from looking at everything on the trolley.

"May I get one Chocolate Frog please." I asked the trolley witch with a warm smile.

She returned a warm smile towards me and handed me the Chocolate frog.
"2 galleons please."

I dig in my pocket and handed her 2 galleons.
"Thank you." I beamed as I started to walk away.

"Nice skirt. A bit too short though don't you think?" Blaise snickered as I walked past his compartment.

I gave him the death stare and tried ignoring him, but he quickly stood up and came up behind me.
"Who's attention are you trying to get?" he smirked.

I turned around to see him towering over me, looking up and down at my body.
I had just turned 14 last month, and my body has definitely developed in places.
My hips widened, and my body finally had a shape. My thighs got bigger, and I finally grew an ass this year.

"You like the view?" I boasted at him. "Well enjoy it because you're never gonna get it."
And with that, I turned around and swooshed out of his face.

Blaise Zabini's the type of guy who fell into the wrong crowd at the wrong time.
He started hanging out with my brother, and of course, became a total dick.

I remember when he actually used to be quite nice to me back in first year, but ever since then he began slut shaming girls and who knows what else.

As I strolled my way past all of the compartments, I finally arrived at Draco and I's, to see Pansy sitting across him, in my spot.

"Um move.. you're sitting in my spot." I grunted as I bit into my Chocolate frog.

She scoffed at me and scanned me head to toe.
"And who are you?" she snapped.

"His sister. Avalon Malfoy."

She widened her eyes and gasped.
"Ohhh," she went on. "So you're the annoying sister he always complains about."

I rolled my eyes and walked into the compartment, sitting next to Draco.

"He must be a liar then because you don't seem annoying at all.." her voice trailed off.

I couldn't help herself but smile at her comment.
"I think we'll be great friends."

We shook hands and she glared at my Chocolate frog.
"Let's shove it up his nose." Pansy snickered.

I gasped and started to grin.
"Great idea."

I unwrapped the Chocolate frog, or what's left of it, and we started shoving it up his nose.

"Quick! Take a picture before he wakes up!" Pansy whispered as she couldn't control her laughter.

The chocolate frog hung from the nostrils of his nose as he continued snoring, peacefully asleep. I opened my backpack, pulled out my camera I always bring everywhere, and quickly snapped a picture of Draco.

The bright flash from the camera caused Draco to wake up, and he felt the Chocolate frog moving around in his nose.
"What the fuck!!! Someone get this bloody frog off of me!!" he roared as he stood up and started panicking.

Pansy and I couldn't stop laughing, and Draco was furious.
He pulled the Chocolate frog out of his nose and slammed it on the floor.

"Was this any of your doing?" he hissed at Pansy.

Pansy shrugged, trying to control her laughter as she glared at me.
Draco sat down, and turned his head towards me.
"It was you." his eyes fumed with anger.

My jaw clenched and I grasped onto the seat.
"No." I gulped.

He squinted his eyes at me like he didn't believe me, and turned his head back towards Pansy.
"That was traumatizing."

And with that, Pansy and I roared in laughter trying to stop, but we couldn't.
I shot my hand up to my mouth, trying to control myself.

"I swear one day I'll kill you Avy." he spat through his teeth.

"Like I won't kill you first." I scoffed.

We spent the whole afternoon chattering, and having a good time.
Draco kept complaining about the frog, and Pansy and I kept telling him to shut up and forget about it.
We finally arrived at King's Cross Station, and I saw the 9 3/4 sign outside as the train came to a halt.

Everybody started to stand up, and rush out of the train to go greet their parents.

Draco and I knew to always be the last ones to leave the train so we wouldn't have to deal with the human traffic.
Pansy waited with us, and as we finally became the last ones to depart from the train she came up to me.

"I'm really glad we became friends. Send me an owl won't you?" Pansy smirked.

"Of course I will." I smirked back, and we exchanged hugs and trotted away from eachother.

I met with Draco again and as we tried navigating our way through the swarms of people to find mother and father, they weren't there.

"I guess we'll just have to take the bus home." I sighed.

"A filthy muggle bus? I'd rather walk." Draco grunted.

Eventually, I convinced him into taking a bus back home and we did.
We hopped onto the bus, and I could smell the cigars and wet rain stained onto the muggle's clothes on the bus.

They glared at us with strange looks on their faces, glaring at our outfits.
They probably weren't use to people wearing uniforms like ours.

We stepped off the train, and walked a long way towards our house, the Malfoy Manor, until finally we arrived.
