Rays of sun danced across the face of Hilary Porter while she slept. It was true what they said about her, her long brown hair and startling green eyes was something only a goddess could hope to match in beauty. She awoke to the sounds of birds chirping and peoples whispers. Her roommates were talking softly while preparing to go to morning brunch.
“Probably gossiping.....girls......eh”, she thought as she walked to her dresser to grab clothes for the day. While choosing a shirt she caught the site of herself in the window. She stopped and examined herself. Spinning around she watched her hair lift and then fall back to her shoulders . She sighed and turned her attention back to dressing herself.
“I don’t think I will ever get use to this”, speaking out loud to herself she dressed, packed her bag and left for the great hall.
Hogwarts was still as beautiful as she last remembered it being. Christmas break was now over and classes were going to be starting up again soon, Hilary wasn’t sure though, if she was ready to ‘meet’ everyone she knew all over again. Finally arriving at the entrance of the great hall Hilary paused for a moment to take a deep breath. While standing there she over heard passing students whispering about her. This was to be expected. It was very uncommon for a student to be transferred into Hogwarts after their first year, let alone in the middle of their seventh. She smiled and walked in heading straight to her table and her trusted friends.
“Good morning Ron, Hermione” she greeted them as she sat down next to them.
“Sleep well last night??” Ron asked winking at Hilary.
“NO, Ronald I didn’t sleep well last night”, Hilary frowned at Ron, then turned to Hermione smiling. “Its been a month already and I still can’t stand it, Hermione. How do you do it?”
Hermione looked confused and took a sip of her tea. “How do I do what? What are you talking about?”
Turning back to Ron, Hilary whispered to him, “ I thought you would have told her by now you git, it’s you bloody fault I am like this and you haven’t told her yet?”
“ When would I have been able to tell her? We just got back the other day” Ron smiled and tried to look like he was in the right. They heard a cough and turned around to find Hermione giving them an annoyed look.
“What’s all the whispering about, why are you two being so quiet?”
Hilary smiled, “ Ron was just telling me how good you are in potions that’s all, I was just asking him if I asked yo nicely if you would help me”
Hermione blushed “Me good in potions, oh thank you Ron, but I am only average in potions.....” Hermione went on about her self for awhile before changing the topic to the past breaks battle.
Only being slightly interested since she already heard about this fight over and over, Hilary decided to scan around to see what faces she could recognize. Suddenly her eyes locked with a pair of blue-grey eyes. The person to whom these eyes belonged only smiled and didn’t look away. Hilary flushed in anger and turned away in disgust. She angrily slammed her juice down.
“He wouldn’t be looking at me like that if he knew the truth”, she spit out in anger. Hermione turned away from her conversation with Ron to look at her.
“Who is this he you speak of ? And what truth? What are you talking about?”
Looking startled Hilary clutched on to her pumpkin juice. “OH! It’s nothing, nothing at all, silly me just thinking out loud to myself.” Smiling wildly she thru her head back and swallowed the rest of her drink.
Being slightly thrown off and confused Ron and Hermione watched her as she drank the rest of the juice. Shrugging, Hermione continued her conversation with Ron.
~*~*~*~*~*
He watched her as she entered the Great Hall. She was beautiful, pity she was a Griffindor. Since classes were not yet in session it was not necessary for the students to wear their robes. She walked in wearing a simple tight light red shirt, and a pair of blue jeans. Both of which items hugged her in all the right places. He watched her as she headed straight for Weasley and his chump mudblood know-it-all.
“Bad choice in friends she has there, but she is new enough that can be changed now that the witless-boy-wonder-Pot is gone.” He smiled and exchanged approving nods from his lackies. He continued to stare at her while she talked with them. Sometime later she started to look around and noted she was being watched. She looked almost shocked but didn’t turn away. ‘Now that’s the kinda girl you need Malfoy, one that isn’t afraid to look her superior in the eye.’ the young man thought to himself. She suddenly blushed and turned away, but even though she had turned away he continued to look at her. After a bit he turned his attentions back onto the chittering that was going on at his table.
~*~*~*~*~*

The head master gave his speech, the head boys and girls gathered their first years to take them to an after break meeting, and with that brunch was over. Hilary watched as Malfoy left the Great hall. He had changed since she had last seen him, but she didn’t much care to find out how much he had changed.
“Hey, Hil, Mione you want to go see the twins? They are visiting today”
Hermione and Hilary turned to look at Ron.
“I would love to. I wonder how many troubling things they have invented now.”Hermione gathered her things and started to follow after Ron, but then stopped to look at Hilary. “Aren’t you going to come along? You have never met the twins”
“Fred and George, Hermione yes I have you know I have” Hilary said with out thinking.
“Hilary?” Hermione seemed uneasy.
Realizing her mistake she tried to clean it up, but for once Ron came to the rescue.
“Hil is right she has met them, with me, she uh met them when I moved in they helped me with my things” Ron smiled and quickly pushed her away “Come on Mione they wont wait forever. Off we go. BYE HILS!” And with a wave and a tug he drug Hermione away before she had time to think or question what had just happened.
She smiled as she watched them walk away. They were perfect for each other, all they needed to do now was to realize it. She sighed and gathered her things and headed for the door only to be stopped once she got there.
“So Hilary is it? Or may I can you Hil, like dear Weaslebee called you?” Malfoy was waiting for her at the entrance.
“Its Hilary to you Malfoy” She spat out at him.
“What was that you said?” He took a step closer to her causing her to bump into the door frame behind her.
“Oh, I am sorry, I said call me Hilary. Ronald is always calling me Hil. It is the nickname he gave me”. She smile sweetly ‘Must not let him know, must be different! No, one knows. Remember that you dolt’ she yelled at her self over and over in her mind. Unaware that Malfoy was now dangerously close to her.
“So, Hilary” Just the way he said her name caused her to blush, it made her want to vomit. “I am guessing you are new here. That would mean you don’t know everything about this school. I being the man I am, I feel like it would only be right of me to give you a tour, tonight. At lets say 9?”
Floored at the idea of ever going on a date with Malfoy, Hilary was at a loss of words, she said the only thing that came to mind.
“Bubu....but that is after hours. We would get in trouble.”
“That’s all right dear, we wont get in trouble. I will meet you at the statue of the Griffendor house. That way you wont get lost. Until then dear sweet Hilary” bowing low he kissed her hand and didn’t even wait for her to reply before walking away.
“But its after hours” she said in a mocking tone. “Damn it is that the best I could come up with. Oh god I need to go find Hermione.”

*~*~*~*~*~*~~*~


It was seven o-clock and Hilary was pacing in front of the fireplace awaiting the arrival of Hermione. Even though she didn’t know the secret she would be good to talk to for girl problems. Hilary stopped and looked into the flames, she could feel the warmth radiating from the fire from where she stood. She heard Ron’s voice as he entered.
“Look Mione, all I am saying is that you need to stop worrying about his resting place, you can’t really think he is dead.” Ron dropped a bag in Hilary’s lap “Those are all the new things Fred and George have come out with, thought I might get you some.”
“Ronald she is a girl she wouldn’t want something as outlandish as a odd bag of Trinkets from the twins”.Grabbing the bag she handed it back to him. Hilary mouth ‘ give them to me later’ when Hermione’s back was to her. Hermione suddenly turned around and looked at Hilary.
“So, Hilary. I really don’t know much about you. I only briefly got to meet you randomly in Diagonalley before we came back to school. Tell me something about yourself. Do you like to study? How are your grades? Do you like to read?” Hermione looked at her with hope in her eye, as if praying that Hilary was just like her.
“Actually, I would like to talk to you Hermione. Could we go upstairs to talk? You know, with out him” she said shifting her gaze to Ron who was now turning different colors every time he poked his nose.
Slightly frowning at Ron’s antics Hermione nodded and the girls headed up to the girls dormitories. They came to Hilary’s room first and entered.
“So what did you want to talk about?” questioned Hermione.
“Well, it’s about a boy...... um boy issues I am having. You see I was asked out on a date. For tonight and I was wondering what I should do. I didn’t exactly agree to go and he...”
“You most certainly can not go! It will be after hours. You even said you didn’t really agree. So, this matter is simple. Don’t go on this date!”
“Date? Oh did I just hear date?” Lavender Brown came rushing into the room. “ Oh you should go you should. Oh my gosh we will have to dress you.”
“We? Who is we? And no, I am fine. I think I will just.....” Hilary noted that her words weren’t getting thru to Lavender. Suddenly the Petil twins came in squealing with a bag of makeup and excited smile.
“You will look so beautiful when we are done with you” They chimed.
Suddenly all three girl dove in on Hilary. All Hermione could do was dodge random articles of clothing while sitting on Hilary’s bed.
One hour, 32 out fits, and a makeup bag later Hilary stood in front of everyone sparkling like a gem.
“Oh my, you are beautiful. Who ever he is he would be dumb not to fall for you” Lavender beamed at her job well done. The twins sighed behind her wishing they had late night dates too. Hermione looked annoyed.
“Yes, yes job well done. A shame though all that work you put in and she is just going to have to wash it off cause she is going to bed. Speaking of bed you girls should get to your dorms.” She gave them a stern look as they all shuffled out muttering about a waste of time. “ As for me I am off to do my rounds, see you tomorrow! Don’t forget to study” and with that she was gone.
Hilary turned around and looked at herself. She was indeed beautiful. Her hair had been curled and it hung all around her face. She had on light pink gloss and silver almost invisible eye shadow. She wore a knee length black skirt and a tight pink spaghetti strap shirt. She heard the clock chime and she suddenly realized it was already nine. With out thinking she rushed for the door and headed down the stairs. The fat lady made quite a fuss when she left, but excused her cause she was new. Hilary ran down the stairs and came to a hallway. ‘Why am I in such a rush to see Malfoy?” she thought to herself as she ran down the corridor. ‘ He must be up to something. Yea, that’s it. He is up to something.”
*~*~*~*~*
The bells chimed and she wasn’t there yet.
“Where is she? I said nine. Not nine oh one, but nine. How dare she stand up a Malfoy. We do not give extra time to people. We do not wait. People wait on us” he turned to walk away when he heard foot steps coming closer to him. He moved behind the statue and waited to see who it was.
“Draco?” a girl out of breath addressed the air in the area he just stood. “I could have sworn he said to meet him here.” Draco smiled and slid from behind the statue when her back was turned. He bowed and took her hand and kissed it. He heard her gasp and the sudden touch.
“Glad to see you could make it, Hilary” he said lowly.
~*~*~*~~**~****~
Hilary stood at the statue confused. She could have sworn he said at her houses statue. Yet, he was no where to be seen. As if hearing her confusion her appeared, out of thin air kissing her hand.
“Glad to see you could make it Hilary” he said standing back up from his kiss.
Hilary blushed in frustration and pulled her hand away. “I would like to know why it is you have asked me out here tonight Draco.”
“To give you a tour of course. It would be a shame if someone as lovely as yourself got lost in our castle we may never find you.” He slowly started down the hall and stopped without turning around waiting for Hilary to catch up. Hilary rushed and stopped right behind him. She swore she could hear him smiling. “ I will find out what you are up to!” she thought as she walked behind him.
They walked for what seemed to be forever talking about random subjects, stopping every once in a while for Draco to explain small tidbits about the school, before coming to stop in the gardens. She looked around confused to why they were in the gardens. She turned and found herself looking right into her guide’s eyes.
“Beautiful” was the only thing he said. Leaning in closer to her.
“Yes they are. Beautiful magic and hard work has made this garden wonderful.” she turned her gaze to the water lily pond. What was this odd feeling she had in the pit of her stomach. Could it be fear cause she was alone with her enemy. She patted her sides only to find that not only was she with out good company, but she was also without wand. She had been so lost in thought that she once again did not notice Malfoy snaking his way closer to her. She turned to face him, only to bump right into him. Her face flushed.
“I wasn’t talking about the beauty of the garden, Hilary.” He leaned a little closer “ I was talking about you”
He closed the gap between them and kissed Hilary full on the lips. Hilary took in a sharp breath. She was surprised, but her eyes fluttered closed as he deepened the kiss. He wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her closer. Licking her lips he silently asked her to open for him. Hilary gave in and opened her mouth to the other kissers demands. He deepened their kiss once more, exploring her mouth with his tongue. Hilary was completely lost in the moment when she heard Malfoy moan lightly. Her eyes shot open and she gasped at the instant realization of what she had just done.
