Pucey To Malfoy

Book 2 Chap. 2

Arabella's POV

We arrived at Hogwarts finally, and Arabia gave my book back to me.

"Sis, uh, what do I do?" Addy asked.

Olive grabbed Arabia's hand nervously and we laughed.

"Guys, over there is Hagrid. He'll lead you to where you need to be," Ara said, pointing to the giant man.

Addy looked up at me and I nodded and smiled.

She and Olive trotted over there with the other first years.

Candace, Alex, and Noah walked up to us.

Alex linked arms with me, and we started for the school.

"What are you doing Alex?" I asked, looking at him.

He smirked. "Being charming," he said.

I scoffed and rolled my eyes.

"I'm just kidding, I just have a few questions."

I nodded silently.

"So, I saw you make a friend on the train. If I'm correct, it was Alice Longbottom am I right?" he said.

I looked up at him, but his gaze was straight ahead.

"Are you stalking me, or?"

He laughed. "God no, just watching over my cousin."

Pfft. Watching, stalking, same thing.

"Yes, her name is Alice. She's nice. What house is she in?" I asked.

He looked down at me annoyed. "You really didn't even pay attention to others sortings either huh?"

I laughed and shook my head. "Oh well."

He scoffed. "She's a Gryffindor..." he said quietly.

I looked up at him, and saw that his cheeks were tinted red. I smirked.

"You like her don't you," I teased.

His eyes widened and he yanked on my arm he was holding. "Be quiet!"

I laughed. "Who knows?"

"Only Candace."

"How long?"

"Since last year."

"Why?"

"Because- wait!"

He looked at me furious, and I laughed. Dang, he caught on!

"You sly dog!" He shouted.

A couple people looked at us, and I kicked his shin.

"OW!"

Even more people looking.

I glared at him. "Quiet...please..." I whispered, trying to hide from everyone's eyes.

He noticed, and smiled at everyone. The girls that were looking blushed and looked away, the guys smiled back.

"You see that? That's called being nice and noticing people," he said, smirking at me.

I rolled my eyes. "Antisocial sounds like a nice thing."

He sighed. "Well hopefully Alice impacts you and makes you want to make more friends. Will you at least come and visit the commonroom sometimes with Arabia and Candace? And also go to quidditch games? It's fun Arabella!"

I sighed. "Maybe. Quidditch games sound okay to be honest. But I swear, don't even think about suggesting me to be on a broo-"

"Wanna fly tonight?" He asked smugly.
