Chapter 2: We meet againcopyright protection45ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtjKC9CoNN
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 protection45ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mVaUAV04H
"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 protection45ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4XbS2XJRgS
I took the seat. "You know, you're kinda pushy." copyright protection45ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdeiIoi3yS
"In a good way?"copyright protection45ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHmWRWk0vd
I scrunched my face. "I guess." copyright protection45ＰＥＮＡＮＡQuo8vcw0OO
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 protection45ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5lyzOQR5gm
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 protection45ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBOV9jhMsF
"Thanks." I smiled, feeling awkward. copyright protection45ＰＥＮＡＮＡevXA7ssQ71
"OH," she stopped and exclaimed, "Now, Draco will have a partner, finally!" copyright protection45ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1xQaj4ie5
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 protection45ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUDUQnXzej
"Hi." I blurted. copyright protection45ＰＥＮＡＮＡd24gzMchW4
Draco sat up from his slumped position and replied cooly "Hi USA". copyright protection45ＰＥＮＡＮＡSu0vYvJuwD
I half-laughed in response. He smiled. copyright protection45ＰＥＮＡＮＡRr79yaTr0g
"You never got a chance to introduce yourself," I stated referencing our previous conversation.copyright protection45ＰＥＮＡＮＡB88P50MFwP
"I assume you already know who I am.'' He gave a cocky grin. copyright protection45ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJBP5GSjgw
I rolled my eyes. "For the principle of it then." copyright protection45ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2vvjELe3V
"Alright, I'm Draco. Draco Malfoy." He extended his hand.copyright protection45ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74JjVI9qCD
I took it. A jolt of electricity ran through me. Even though his hands were cold, I felt warm. copyright protection45ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0wEEogXMl
"Charmed." copyright protection45ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8h9K6Likg
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 protection45ＰＥＮＡＮＡbeOw2HWbcR
"This place is insane," I whispered to myself exiting the stairs as quickly as possible. copyright protection45ＰＥＮＡＮＡsnloI9Ncge
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 protection45ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjTgrNOfM8
"Shit. Sorry." I apologized, quickly bending down to retrieve my things.copyright protection45ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqUOHBlJhF
"Idiot Hufflepuff." An angry girl spat simultaneously bending down for her own.copyright protection45ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9VhMUawvA
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 protection45ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDkl0HOzB9
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 protection45ＰＥＮＡＮＡewKpzeTRm2
''Is that supposed to mean something to me?" I asked standing up holding my books. copyright protection45ＰＥＮＡＮＡUOaMUzv62O
I could have sworn I saw steam come out of her ears. copyright protection45ＰＥＮＡＮＡG80h12j7DT
"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 protection45ＰＥＮＡＮＡeB9Mhc1GRe
"My place? Girl, what the hell-" I was interrupted by her smacking the books out of my hand and onto the floor, again.copyright protection45ＰＥＮＡＮＡY58OkZ9XsK
I stared at her, mouth agape. She stepped closer to me, inches away from my face. copyright protection45ＰＥＮＡＮＡnktRFcp5In
"Pansy." A stern voice interrupted. Her head snapped to their direction. copyright protection45ＰＥＮＡＮＡRaDLhifHQS
"Let's get to class." It coaxed. copyright protection45ＰＥＮＡＮＡyT29l90a8G
It was Draco. copyright protection45ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4ldlC8Ffb
"You just made an enemy." She whispered before whipping her head around and joining him. copyright protection45ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVuAJz7ds7
