Damaged (A Draco Malfoy FanFiction)

5- Things Are Changing...

The days leading up to Christmas were a bore, I had nothing to do really, my days were spent with either Malfoy or building my relationship with my half-brother Blaise, we were more alike than we thought but I still felt a stronger connection to Malfoy. Blaise didn't like the amount of time I spent with Malfoy but he didn't say anything, he knew that he couldn't stop me from doing what I please, in short, he would be foolish to try.

I had just walked into The Great Hall for the Christmas dinner with Malfoy when I stopped dead in my tracks, my eyes focused on the Gryffindor table, "You have got to be kidding me!" I hissed through clenched teeth, there was Harry Potter brandishing a new broom. A Firebolt. "Unbelievable!"

"Gets his broom smashed to bits and then another one just turns up" Malfoy commented as we walked toward our own house table and I couldn't help but glare at Potter the whole time.

"Of course, The Golden Boy gets everything he needs and wants with just a click of his fingers. They've bent enough rules for the loathsome little bastard" I muttered and as if sensing I was talking about him, he looked up saw me staring, and looked away with a blush creeping upon his face.

"Oh, that's just adorable!" Malfoy said with a laugh, "Potter seems to like you" I gagged and Malfoy fell about laughing, "I thought you'd react like that"

I watched as Professor McGonagall entered the Great Hall with Granger behind her and my face split into a wide smile when McGonagall had seized the new broom from Potter and left the Hall with it, "Ha!" I laughed, "I love Karma"

Christmas passed by quickly and then The New Year followed just as quickly, it was rather uneventful if I do say so myself. I woke up late a few days into the new term and I ended up rushing to my class, DADA with Professor Lupin.

I had just run around a corner when I collided with someone, I managed to keep my balance so I didn't end up embarrassing myself in front of whoever I had run into. I looked up and had to hold back an annoyed groan. "Of course, on the day I'm late I run into you," I said with a roll of my eyes. Harry Potter stood in front of me with his face burning a bright red.

"I'm so sorry, Adria, I'm late and I was rushing" Potter stuttered out and I rolled my eyes again.

"Keep my name out of your mouth, Potter" I hissed and shouldered past him but he fell into step beside me and this time I did groan in annoyance. "Can't you walk the other way?"

"I have DADA, I'm guessing that's where you're heading" Potter replied and I cursed.

"Fine" I muttered and quickened my pace, Potter kept up with minimal effort and I could feel my skin itching with how close he was to me, I moved away from him a little bit to ease the urge to wrap my hands around his throat.

"Okay," Potter said finally just as the door to Defence Against the Darks Arts came into view and I hurried forward. "What is your problem with me? I know why Malfoy has an issue but I haven't done anything to you"

I laughed dryly and came to a stop just outside the classroom door and I was thankful it was closed. I looked Potter up and down and I could see why Severus held a bit of hatred for the boy, I'd seen photos of Potters' father and people weren't over exaggerating when they said he looked like a double of James Potter.

"You really have no idea who your father was, do you?" I asked plainly and Potter's eyes narrowed.

"My father was a respected wizard" Potter shot back and I smirked.

"Only to some people" I replied and stepped back towards the door, "Honestly, Potter, you're in for a surprise. I hate to break it to you but your father was a bully, he thought he owned the place"
