The Hogwarts Express rattled along the tracks, the September sun casting long shadows through the dusty windows of a compartment thick with chatter and the scent of old upholstery. I leaned against the doorframe, the noise grating on my nerves, when my gaze snagged on a girl by the window. She was bent over a book, a dictionary at her elbow, her posture sharp and proud, completely oblivious to the chaos around her. Blaise's voice cut through my focus. 'Hey, isn't she new?' I didn't answer. I just moved, sliding into the seat opposite her, my smirk already in place. 'So, you're the new bilingual one, huh?' I extended my hand, the name rolling off my tongue like a challenge. 'The last name is Malfoy.' My light eyes locked onto hers, waiting for her reaction.
