Black And Green

Twenty Four

E m i l y

It was Saturday and that meant no classes. I was going to sleep all day but I felt someone shaking my arm aggressively.

"Yeah, what?" I said lost trying to open my eyes.

"Emily, it will be the last days of snow probably. We have to go outside" she said fast and I moaned closing my eyes.

"What time is it?" I asked without looking at her.

"It's eight o'clock. What time did you come back last night?" she asked while I was getting up from bed.

Probably it was 5 am when I came back, but she doesn't need to know that.

"Not too late. I finished early" I said and went to the bathroom to get ready.

[..]

After half an hour, all the students were outside enjoying the snow.

"Here Neville. We can make a snowman" I said and pulled him by his hand.

"I have never made one" he admitted and I laughed.

"It's okay, I will show you" I sat on the ground and he did too. After he helped me with the body, I put my hand in my big cloak's pocket and took out some buttons.

I placed them on a vertical line, "There. You can take these two and use them for his eyes", I said giving to him some bigger ones.

"Can you go find some branches for his arms, while I will be searching for a nose? " I asked and he nodded before leaving.

I went to the Hufflepuffs and this girl Julia offered me a carrot and I thanked her a lot.

"Here you go" we both said when we came back.

"It's amazing" He said surprised when we finished and I nodded.

"Sure he is" I smiled and we went back to the others.

While Ron was telling us a story about a Fred's and George's prank in snow I felt really weird like someone was watching us. I looked around, but no one was there.

"And then this lady said 'How can you be in two places at the same time' and George answered-" his sentence were cut off from a snowball that hit him on the head.

"What the heck?" he said and started looking around.

The next one, it hit Harry.

I saw from where it was coming and I looked immediately there only to see Draco, Crabbe and Goyle hiding behind a big rock like we couldn't see them.

"Shh" I said to the others and made a very big snowball with my hands quickly. Like, very big.

"How are you supposed to throw it this big?" Harry asked and I took my wand out.

"Watch. Wingardium Leviosa" I used the spell pointing at the snowball which started flying under my control.

I started walking quiet with her just to have a better control and then I was just pushing it to go find them. When it was exactly up from their head I stopped the spell and the snowball fell on all three of them, making them scared and screaming.

We started laughing out loud and they noticed us. They started coming towards us.

"Very funny Black. Wow I am impressed that you know this spell that we learnt at first year" Malfoy said rolling his eyes but then he smiled a little.

"Yeah I am pretty impressed too" I joked and he rolled his eyes. I looked at the others and I saw that they were confused. Were we talking too friendly? I suddenly turned back to him angry.

"Oh and never come back here. It is our place!" I yelled and he looked at me confused but seconds later he got it.

"Who said that I wanted to be in the same place as you? Honestly I don't even want to share my air with you" he hissed and took a step back.

"Yeah, well me too!" I said and turned around with the others starting walking away.

Later at night while I was ready for bed, I got a letter.

Meet me tomorrow morning at the library for the essay.
D

I felt my heart beating fast as I read this and I kept it in my drawer thinking what the hell is going on with my life right now.

[..]

The next morning I got inside the library and he was already there.

"Good morning" I said while sitting next to him.

"Hi" he said and I took my books out.

"So, ready?" I asked and he nodded.

We started writing the essay now on a parchment and when the one of us was tired the other started writing.

I put the pen down for a little and I rubbed my eyes tired.

"What's wrong?" he asked and I exhaled.

"Nothing it's just when I read I usually wear my glasses or this happens" I explained and I felt him moving next to him.

"Come on, wear them then" he said and I smirked.

"No way, you are going to make fun of me" I said out loud and he raised his eyebrow.

"I promise that I won't. Go on" he encouraged me and I rolled my eyes before opening my bag.

I took out my glasses case and opened it taking them out. Then, I wore them feeling way better and turned to look at him.

"You look fine, besides..." he said turning around and finding something in his bag. When he turned at me he was wearing glasses, making me lost my breath of how handsome he was.

"I had the same worries too" he said and I smiled.

I was finally seeing the side of Draco that was deep down and I felt from the beginning that it was existing.

"You look good in glasses" I admitted and he raised his eyebrow.

"I always look good in everything" he teased me and I laughed.

"Thank you Emily. You look great too" he continued, and leaned at me I thought to kiss me but he put a part of my hair behind my ear.

"Let's continue the essay. Now that we can both see" I said and he snorted before taking the pen and started writing.
