Hogwarts RPG Name: Charlotte (Charlie) Elizabeth Jamison | Going Broadway <3 “Firs’ years ova’ here!” A loud, booming, male voice called.
“Hello, Hagrid!” Ashley waved. No one noticed Draco wrinkle his nose when she said hello. Draco waved Charlie over to a carriage. She went over smiling, grabbing Ashley by the wrist. Draco seemed a little disappointed at that, but Charlie didn’t notice. Once in the castle, Draco led Charlie to the Slytherin table. Ashley was a little hurt as she went over to the Gryffindor table to sit with Harry, Ron, and Hermione, some of her other friends.
“You mind if I sit with you?” Draco asked Charlie. She hadn’t known he was so polite!
“Sure.” Charlie shrugged. Draco sat next to Charlie as the line of first years started marching in behind Professor McGonagall. The Sorting Hat was placed on a stool in the front of the hall. The first years looked so small and terrified. All of the sixth years knew the routine like the back of their hands. The hat sung and the first years gasped and screamed. Professor McGonagall stepped up and called the first name.
“Anduckia, Jennifer.” A small girl stepped up timidly. “GRYFFINDOR!” the hat shouted, all the Gryffindors clapped. This went on through “Webber, Jeremy” (Ravenclaw) “Xavier, Nick” (Hufflepuff) “Young, Mariana” (Hufflepuff) and “Zen, Dianna” (Slytherin). Charlie yawned and Draco smiled at her. He hadn’t been watching the first years at all, only Charlie, but she didn’t notice; she had been watching the first years or sleeping. If she wasn’t doing either of those she was looking over at Ashley who kept glaring at her, and whispering who-knows-what to whom the Slytherins referred to as the “Golden Trio”. Charlie couldn’t help grumbling. Her hair was up as always, but she grabbed the back and twirled it around her hand a few times. After a little while, through Dumbledore’s usual speech, Draco grabbed her hand.
“You’re distracting.” He whispered in Charlie’s ear, she could practically hear him smirk. Charlie only smiled and turned around.
“Oh, really?” she asked.
“Yes, really.” Draco said, and as she had predicted, he was smirking.
“Well, what are you going to do to make me stop?” Charlie whispered playfully, they had to be quite during their Headmaster’s speech. Draco raised an eyebrow.
“There are a few things I could do, I’m trying to see which one wouldn’t get me smacked.” He whispered playfully as well.
“Why don’t you try one?” Charlie asked softly, this time much more seriously.
“Alright.” Draco said, also quietly and leaned in slowly, touching his lips to hers. After a minute or so they separated.
“What d’you know? That DID make me stop.” She said, grinning widely.
“I’m glad it worked.” He said.
“I-“
“FOOD!” Charlie was cut off by a bunch of gasps and screams and yells.
“Food.” Charlie repeated, with a grin.
“Indeed.” Draco responded. He was very… proper. Charlie looked at the empty plate in front of her and the mounds of food already starting to disappear – not by magic, by hungry students. Charlie took a bowl and started scooping food onto her plate. As she ate, Charlie thought about her first year at Hogwarts. How terrified she was to be brought into this huge hall and not knowing what at all to expect.
“Jamison, Charlotte!” A six-years-younger Professor McGonagall had called. She was shaking as she went over to the hat and it was placed on her head. It had taken a long time deciding on her. “SLYTHERIN!” the hat finally screamed. The Slytherins had clapped and she had walked over to the table, sitting down at an edge of the table by herself. At that point, she had been slightly upset, wishing she were in Gryffindor with that cute boy, Harry Potter. Of course he was famous, but mostly she just thought he was cute. She still thought so, but knew that Draco was MUCH hotter, and she was no long her upset. She hadn’t been upset with being in Slytherin since the first semester of her first year.
“Charlie?” Draco asked.
“Hm?” Charlie said, coming out of her daze.
“I asked if you were actually eating.” Draco repeated.
“Oh, uh… yeah. Sorry, living in the past.” Charlie sighed, but smiled. Draco smiled as well.
“Remembering your first year?” he guessed. Charlie nodded.
“I remember that. I saw you get sorted and was so glad you were in Slytherin, I knew I would be… I wanted you to be in the same house as me.” Charlie could have sworn for a moment that he blushed, but it had gone away in a second and was replaced by a smirk. Charlie smiled, blushing a bit herself.
“Well, I’m glad I got sorted into Slytherin too.” Charlie grinned wider. Draco smiled and leaned in a little and kissed her again. Charlie let him, enjoying it thoroughly. Ashley looked over, she was fuming, but Charlie didn’t notice at all. Ashley felt she was getting blown over for DRACO MALFOY? What could she EVER see in him? Charlie just thought, ‘Finally, he notices me’.
