CHAPTER: I

Haruhi walked through the corridors of the Hogwarts Express looking into each compartment checking if there were any available seats. 'Great, first day here and already no one wants to be my friend.' Haruhi Fujioka thought to herself frowning slightly. She gave up trying to find a compartment and sat on her trunk right outside the compartment in which Draco Malfoy was boasting about his latest conquest. Haruhi started humming a nice tune, which turned into a song in a matter of minutes.

"Exactly! He couldn't have done it without my help, that ungrateful little —" Draco stopped talking. Someone was singing… It sounded beautiful; he felt a strange sensation in his heart, which was starting to fill up with warmness and light. He stood up, ignoring the questions of concern from his fellow Slytherins and walked towards the compartment door. He looked out the window and saw a very pretty Asian girl, with long black hair and beautiful, big, mysterious eyes. He stood captivated for a moment taking in the beautiful sight before him.

Haruhi sang her final note, which could have given anybody chills, and silence once more filled the hallway. She turned around and saw a tall and slender boy, with a pale, sharp-featured face, sleek white-blond hair, and cold, light grey eyes. She admitted in her mind that he was attractive, but why he was staring at her from a compartment window? She did not know. She gave a quick smile, which he returned and retreated — supposedly — back to his seat. Haruhi opened her mouth to sing again, but closed it in surprise, as she heard a crash, someone swearing loudly, followed by a roar of laughter. Haruhi guessed that the boy tripped trying to get back to his seat. She started laughing and had to stuff her fist in her mouth because she was starting to attract attention from the other compartments.

The Slytherins were staring at Malfoy with a mixture of curiosity and disbelief at his sudden clumsiness. And, as if they rehearsed, roared with laughter. Malfoy just sat there smiling with his face slightly pink oblivious of the laughing mob surrounding him. Silence followed as the laughter died down.

"What in the world stupefied you…" Zabini said, while getting up to look through the compartment window. He stopped and admired the beautiful sight before him, but he did not fall into a trance as Malfoy had.

"I know who she is," Zabini said as he sat back down next to Malfoy.

Malfoy snapped back to reality and demanded, "Who is she?"

Zabini, who was shocked of the attention he was getting from Malfoy explained, "Well, she looks Asian, and obviously we haven't seen her until now. But she doesn't look like a first year, so I assume she's one of those transfer students from Japan…"

"What are you talking about?" Malfoy asked.

"I've heard from mother and all of those stupid officials, who always came for dinner in the summer. There was some sort of disaster that happened in Japan, and the school shut down. So they split the students up and transferred them to the three European schools: Beauxbatons, Durmstrang, and Hogwarts. I guess they wanted the students to be as far away from Japan as possible," Zabini shrugged as he finished.

Silence followed as Malfoy just sat there, apparently lost in thought. 'I've got to find out more about her,' he thought. 'I have to find out her name…' He stood up and was about to open the compartment door, until he saw the beautiful creature being escorted by Harry Potter into the compartment, which contained the Mudblood, Hermione Granger, and that Bloodtraitor, Ron Weasley. He kicked the compartment door and the window shattered.

"Good thing Parkinson isn't here to see this…" Zabini said slyly repairing the window with a lazy flick with his wand.

"What are you talking about Zabini," Malfoy spat glaring at the grinning boy in front of him.

"You know exactly what I'm talking about…" Zabini replied with an apparent smirk on his face.
