When we got out of the compartment, I started to chat with Hermione. "So you're Muggleborn?" I asked again for reassurement. "Yeah, I am. And i suppose that you, being a Malfoy, is a pure-blood right?" She asked me. "Yeah, I am." And then there is a moment of silence until I decide to ask her, " How does it feel to have a mother, Hermione?". " Well, it is normal. Like you will have her nagging over you, waking you up 'cus you're gonna be late to school and others. Why are you asking me this question?" She said, rather confused. " Well, i lost my mom when I'm only seven, and then I lost my sister when I am ten." I said, my voice breaking up as I tried to hold back tears. Memories of how they died start to flood back in my head. "Oh no, I'm so, so, terribly sorry. I don't know" Hermiond said with a very sorry expression." It's okay, I know you didn't mean to say so" I said calmly. Unlike Draco who is over-exagerrating and acting like a spoilt brat he is, I am the complete opposite making Lucius love me more ( XD). I am much more calm, open-minded and much more of a laid-back person. Hermione and I, still walking when we reach across a compartment filled with two boys around our age. "Excuse me, a boy named Neville Longbottom lost his pet toad. Have you seen it anywhere?" I asked. The two boys shrugged and shaked their head and I was about to say sorry and thank you when Hermione exclaimed, "Wait, you're Harry Potter!! I'm Hermione Granger. And, you are?" She said with an unpleased tone as she looked to the other boy with red hair. " R-Ron Weasley" he said with his mouth full with sweets. "Pleasure" Hermiond said. She then looked at me and signalled me to introduce myself. "Oh sorry, my name's Elizabeth Malfoy. You can call me by my middle name, Rose, that's what my family and friends call me" i said with a sweet smile. "Malfoy? So you're that Draco Malfoy's cousin, right, well,you don't really look like one-" he didn't get to finish his sentence when Hermione gave him a death glare. Ron, looking confused, asked her,"What?" To which Hermione rolled her eyes. "Uhm, sorry to ask, but what's wrong with you and your family name?" Harry asked me. "Oh, it's just that most of the Malfoy family member have platinum blonde hair that made them easily recognised and my hair is black, that's all. It's just a bit different and yes, I am Draco Malfoy's cousin" i answered, giving him a certain 'oh' face." Well, i think your hair looks nice" he said. "Thanks" i said. "Hey, uhm, sorry for asking you about that" Ron said looking a bit embarassed." You certainly are a Weasley right? I gotta admit it, you're hair looks nice too" i said. I know his father, Arthur Weasley, who worked in the Ministry of Magic together with uncle Lucius- oh sorry, father. The rest of the ride is filled with us asking questions to each other about ourselves and filled with laughter all the way to Hogwarts.' I think we'll be best friends" i thought to myself but not putting in too much hope cus we might not end up in the same house afterall." Hey, can we still be friends even if we are not in the same house?" I asked with a worried look on my face. "Sure!" The trio answered in unison. I gladly let out a relieved sigh.
