An Enemy's Love

Chapter 2*

Welcome To Slytherin
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After everyone had been sorted into into their houses we where lead down to the Slytherin common room. Which just happened to be in the dungeons. I looked around once we got there, it was quite stunning. Green and silver banners, some with the Slytherin snake where hung around the room and there were plenty of couches and tables all around. Once I had steeled in and unpacked with everyone else I decided to go to the library.

There was only one other person there. She was a Gryffindor and had curly brown hair, I went over to her. 

"Hi, I'm Zafrina." I said holding up my hand, she looked at me confused but shook my hand. 

"I'm Hermoine, do you need something?" I shook my head. 

"No, I just thought you looked bored and I'm trying to meet new people so I thought maybe you'd like to talk." That was horrible I thought, she laughed a bit.

"Alright. You're Slytherin though." I shrugged. 

"Is there a rule Slytherin an Gryffindor can't be friends?" She thought for a moment then smiled. 

"It's not common but there's no rule against it."

 "So do you know anything about Harry Potter being here?" I asked.

 "Ya he got into Gryffindor. Me and Ron Weasley are actually friends with him." 

"Oh really." 

"Ya." 

"Can you believe the way he escaped the dark lord? It sounds so surreal the way everyone describes it."

"I know right, I believe it though, do you?" I nodded 

"Ya, I do." 

"I need to get back to my common room, professor McGonnagle needed to talk to us. I'll see you later?" I nodded. 

"Yup, bye Hermione." She waved and left the library.

I walked back to the common room and went to my dorm. I picked up my journal out of my back and started writing.

Dear Diary,
Today I arrived at Hogwarts after just about missing the train. I met this boy Draco Malfoy who's family helped me get to platform 9 3/4, he seems alright. I also met Heroine Granger, she's also a first year but she's in Gryffindor, she's really nice. The famous Harry Potter came to Hogwarts this year also, he's in Gryffindor. I can't believe he actually escaped the dark lord. I got sorted into Slytherin, so did Draco. Anyways that's all that happened today...

I closed my journal and changed before going to sleep. After a couple of weeks I'd been hanging out with Hermione as much as was possible, she introduced me to her Gryffindor friends Harry and Ron. I had also become friends with a girl named Carry in my house. We sat together at lunch all the time and made up a couple of inside jokes. I was having a great time at Hogwarts and really glad to be away from home.

Today we were going to learn how to ride broomsticks, which I already knew how to do. Lessons were going fine until some kid fell off his broom and Mme. Hooch left us to take him to the hospital wing. I was talking with Carry and then we heard yelling, we turned to see what was going on.

"Give it here Malfoy." Harry said putting his hand out. I noticed that Draco had taken Neville's remembrall and sighed. 

"You want your friend's toy Potter? Come and get it." He jumped onto his broomstick and flew up high, Harry followed. They were both very good at flying. Harry got almost close enough to Draco to grab the ball but Draco cast a spell at Harry that made him fly backwards.

"We need to stop this, Draco's insane!" Carry said to me, I shook my head. 

"You are so right... I have an idea, just keep this between us." She nodded.

I pulled out my wand and aimed it at Draco. 

"Confundus! Flipendo!" I yelled. Draco's broom flew out of control and he started falling towards the ground losing grip of the ball. Harry flew downwards and grabbed it as quick as possible before coming to land. Just before Draco hit the ground I aimed my wand at him again 

"Arestro Momentum." I muttered stopping him from hitting the ground.
