Chapter 2: We meet againcopyright protection68ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCiMbpvsmy
Professor McGonagall greeted me in the hallway the next morning. We walked into the Great Hall for breakfast, I used this moment to ask if it were possible to sit at a different house table. I wanted to sit with Neville and I didn't feel comfortable enough with the Hufflepuffs I'd met yesterday. But before she could answer she was interrupted by a cheerful Cedric Diggory. copyright protection68ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqfUk86avP
"Larsa!" He exclaimed feigning disappointment and grabbing my arm. Startled and my face turning red, I looked at him wide-eyed. "Now, why would you want to sit at a different table? Does house pride mean nothing to you? He shook his head. "No need Professor, I will help her adjust." He grinned, pulling me towards the Hufflepuff table. She nodded approvingly and walked away in response. "C'mon, sit down." He patted the open space next to him. copyright protection68ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdMC1Lc59B
I took the seat. "You know, you're kinda pushy." copyright protection68ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fKwTyAHch
"In a good way?"copyright protection68ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbWPrD7ujw
I scrunched my face. "I guess." copyright protection68ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlRq2gOhYM
He bumped my shoulder happily. We chatted and ate breakfast. Cedric was easy to talk to and bubbly. He offered to walk me to my first class. I accepted. copyright protection68ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtG46cDt9U
My first class of the day was Divination with Professor Trelawney. When I entered, the kooky professor with gigantic glasses rushed over to me and addressed me enthusiastically, "I'm so glad you are here dear. I have a good feeling about you." She pointed a shaky finger at me. copyright protection68ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjGjEnuwEh
"Thanks." I smiled, feeling awkward. copyright protection68ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TYU248n6Z
"OH," she stopped and exclaimed, "Now, Draco will have a partner, finally!" copyright protection68ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7vxZspPUR
My jaw dropped looking over to the boy who's expression matched mine. She grabbed my arm and pulled me across the room to an empty seat in the front of the class. She urged Draco to join me. He begrudgingly left his two friends, stomped down the steps, and slid into the seat across from me. Professor Trelawney, satisfied, walked away to begin the class. copyright protection68ＰＥＮＡＮＡq34WIGXmxE
"Hi." I blurted. copyright protection68ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKtzgH0Snt
Draco sat up from his slumped position and replied cooly "Hi USA". copyright protection68ＰＥＮＡＮＡCd5eSYC1gv
I half-laughed in response. He smiled. copyright protection68ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFGr6tlUbr
"You never got a chance to introduce yourself," I stated referencing our previous conversation.copyright protection68ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rdEjPvti8
"I assume you already know who I am.'' He gave a cocky grin. copyright protection68ＰＥＮＡＮＡNI0e99IH0p
I rolled my eyes. "For the principle of it then." copyright protection68ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNN1yLZAtj
"Alright, I'm Draco. Draco Malfoy." He extended his hand.copyright protection68ＰＥＮＡＮＡYS58eFACt4
I took it. A jolt of electricity ran through me. Even though his hands were cold, I felt warm. copyright protection68ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4nZxELKUh
"Charmed." copyright protection68ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGaTrzJAhr
I was on my way to Transfiguration when the staircase came alive. I gripped the rails and frantically looked around searching for help. No one. Not a soul in sight. I almost jumped out of my skin when I heard a voice. I scanned my surroundings until I noticed a peculiar woman in a painting waving to me. Peculiar only because she had a strong mustache. "Don't worry girl just stay put until it chooses its place." I nodded and thanked the woman. The stairs eventually stopped moving. Their "place" is in the opposite direction and on an entirely different floor than where I was headed. copyright protection68ＰＥＮＡＮＡJAyaWJQMSH
"This place is insane," I whispered to myself exiting the stairs as quickly as possible. copyright protection68ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdGViVlan8
Now, entirely stressed I sped walked through the halls trying to get to my class. I turned the corner and smacked into a body, sending the contents of our arms into the air, papers now scattered on the floor. copyright protection68ＰＥＮＡＮＡndJTPMxhK2
"Shit. Sorry." I apologized, quickly bending down to retrieve my things.copyright protection68ＰＥＮＡＮＡascKBRmlza
"Idiot Hufflepuff." An angry girl spat simultaneously bending down for her own.copyright protection68ＰＥＮＡＮＡDP1Y4zlZIu
I stacked my stuff into a pile and handed her one of her books. She snatched it from my hands, glaring at me. "Jeez," I stated while lifting my hands up in surrender. copyright protection68ＰＥＮＡＮＡLp7mqVYUC8
She stood up with one hand on her hip and the other holding her books. "You are aware you are speaking to a Slytherin prefect, right."copyright protection68ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsT0JwWy56
''Is that supposed to mean something to me?" I asked standing up holding my books. copyright protection68ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHrGmeM3PZ
I could have sworn I saw steam come out of her ears. copyright protection68ＰＥＮＡＮＡgAisG6NDZT
"I get that your the new girl and all but it's high time you learned your place.'' She sneered stepping closer to me.copyright protection68ＰＥＮＡＮＡOeJWdIYQV7
"My place? Girl, what the hell-" I was interrupted by her smacking the books out of my hand and onto the floor, again.copyright protection68ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMlTAp0gKj
I stared at her, mouth agape. She stepped closer to me, inches away from my face. copyright protection68ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPVkdhINuj
"Pansy." A stern voice interrupted. Her head snapped to their direction. copyright protection68ＰＥＮＡＮＡQpef2zCCHA
"Let's get to class." It coaxed. copyright protection68ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWizH4zHlo
It was Draco. copyright protection68ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHPrCrrsEP
"You just made an enemy." She whispered before whipping her head around and joining him. copyright protection68ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7fhHlnQZba
