The library is quiet when I walk in for Study Hall. I take my usual seat at the back table, and pull out my Charms essay. I started working on it this morning but didn't quite finish it. I check my watch that reads "12:47pm" and I look back to my paper. I let out a deep breath and begin to write.
After finishing my Charms and Potions essay, I put my scrolls away and look up to see Draco striding towards me. He's alone. I smile to him as he approaches, taking the seat opposite me. "Hey there" I say, seeing he wasn't gonna be the first to talk. He smiles at me, his grey eyes shining in the light. "Hey yourself" he says. "Whatcha up to?" He asks and I have to bite back my giggle. "Just finishing up some essays" I say with a smile.
He lets out a slight chuckle and my smile grows. "What are you doing after Study Hall?" He asks me, glancing around like he doesn't want to be heard by others. Then again, Slytherin and Gryffindor are sworn enemies. "Ummm, I was going to go out to the Quidditch Pitch and practice my flying... Maybe even go and throw some gnomes. Not really sure yet. Why?" I ask, letting my curiosity get the best of me.
I know I shouldn't be talking to Draco, considering I just got on Hermiones good side, but he seems perfectly harmless. "I was also going to go out to the Pitch today. Seeing as I'm the Seeker for Slytherin, I need to keep up my game." He says with a slight chuckle. I smile and nod to him, unsure of what to say. "Do you mind if I join you?" He asks, looking to me. I stand up, and wait for him to stand also before answering him. "Sure" I say, suddenly feeling knots in my stomach.
**************************
Walking down the corridor with Draco was a lot different than walking with Harry and Ron. Being with Draco was almost like being famous. Except your not. Walking with Harry, yeah you get the occasional stares, but he normally just gets ignored. Not with Draco. Everyone stares and whispers. It's odd. Especially when he takes your hand and leads you through the crowds that almost separate immediately with his approach.
We finally reach the Quidditch Pitch as the sun slowly begins to hide under the hills. I place my bag on the grass beside the benches, taking my robe off and laying it on top of my bag. I look over to find Draco has also taken off his robe, and was now walking towards the shed that holds the brooms. I watch as she shuffles around but comes back, carrying two brooms.
He offers one out to me, smiling. I smile and take it "Thanks" I say. I look around, realizing that this is my first time flying a broom. I feel my heart begin to pick up in speed as I look to Draco, who is now eyeing me. "So.. Uhhh... What's first?" I ask. He smiles to me, then looks down at my broom. "Have you never... ridden on a broom?" He asks, hiding back his smile. I playfully smack his arm "It's not funny" I say, slightly giggling.
He chuckles then looks to me "Here" he says, dropping his broom on the grass and stands beside me. I watch as he squats beside me, placing the broom between my ankles. He stands back up, and smiles "Just mound your broomstick" He says, showing me with his hands. I simply nod, and do as I'm told. I feel a slight vibration, and feel the broom slightly rise. I grip the broom harder, feeling my nerves get the best of me. "Just relax" Draco says, sensing my nerves. He places his hand on top of my hands and my nerves relax.
He removes his hand, a little to quickly, then grabs his broom, mounting his also. He lifts up into the air, and looks down to me, smiling "Come on". I nod, feeling my hands begin to sweat. I close my eyes as my broom begins to lift me off the ground. My broom gets me to the same level as he is, and I look to him. He smiles "Good. Now..." He backs up his broom and he smiles to me, motioning for me to follow him. I tilt my broom forward, as feel as my broom slowly floats towards him. "Good" he says. "Now let's try a chase" he suggests.
A what?! I look up to him, and nod slightly. He flies farther in front of me, and I smile, tilting my broom and zooming close behind him. He turns a sharp corner, and disappears. I smile and turn my broom around the corner, to sharp. I feel the broom fly out from underneath me. I'm falling. I hit the ground.. hard.
