Wasn't meant to be.. [Draco Malfoy] English version

Chapter 22

I enter the potions classroom and by the looks of it I am the first. 'Hello Greenvile,' I hear Snape say in a monotone way. He's checking some tests from the previous class.'Please just call me Grindelwald when no one is around,' I say as I sit down in my regular spot. 'Juliette!' Snape raises his voice. 'When are we going to Malfoy manor again?' I walk over to Snape, ignoring his warning, hoping for answers. 'You need to keep your mouth shut about this,' he says, looking me sternly in the eyes. I swallow. 'Hello students.' He stands back and gives me another warning look before handing out the test sheets. I see that Hermione is already sitting in her usual spot next to me and I sigh deeply. 'Juliette...' she says softly when I sit down next to her. I give a dead look, hoping she gets the hint. 'And you're going to listen to me now.' At those words I stand up with my things. 'Sir, can I sit somewhere else?' Snape gives a puzzled look but gestures me to sit next to Draco. 

Great, I didn't really feel like this either.

'This test must be finished by the end of the hour.' Snape walked through the middle of the classroom. 'If I see anything of cheating' a small silence fell. 'Immediately a F' Draco whispered just before Snape said the same but in his monotonous terrifying way then he gave Ron a look that said enough. I picked up a pencil and started filling in the questions. With the extra learning and extra lessons it went quite well. I filled in question after question. To be honest Draco made me nervous to the bone because; I don't get him, ignoring me for over 4 weeks and now this whole leg thing.

I hand in the test, first. I see Hermione and the rest looking at me with pity and regret as I walk through the classroom to leave. I shake my head angrily and quicken my steps.

You can't just keep something back and then come and say sorry. I would rather know what I am not allowed to know. 

I peel one of my mandarins and walk to the library. At Snape's class, you can always leave earlier if you've already finished the test. To be quite honest, I feel very alone without my friends.Maybe it's better, if I can go back I won't miss anyone and they won't miss me. I sit down in the same spot as yesterday. I don't dare to look in my potions book, afraid that I'll find things that I filled in wrong during the test. The next lesson starts in about 10 minutes but the class is near by so I stay where I am until I have finished one of my two mandarins. I throw the mandarin peels in the bin next to the door and sprint to my next lesson.

The day passed slowly without the company of my friends. In between classes I spent time with Adrian, which most of the others viewed with displeasure.

After my last lesson, I was taken out of the classroom by Snape. I got all excited, maybe it was about my test and not having to take any extra classes. But as soon as the door was closed, he started talking about something I wasn't sure if I was happy about. This afternoon, we're going to Malfoy Manor. The back of my neck bristles. I stammer. 'Where are we meeting?' he looks around to see if anyone might have heard us. 'My classroom,' he says quickly, well, quickly in his own way. He gestures for me to go back in. I nod and open the door. I had to sit next to Hermione this lesson because the teacher had seen no need for me to sit next to anyone else. 'What did Snape come and get you for?' Asked Hermione, I had to do my best not to let out a sarcastic laugh. Why do I have to answer her when they are keeping all sorts of things from me. I answered without taking my gaze off my book. 'Something for my extra classes,' I say monotonously. I don't even know why I answered. I might as well not have said anything, because I had every right to. 'You know, I understand that you're angry, but now you're overreacting,' she says and an angry feeling creeps up on me. 'I overreact?' I whisper so as not to attract too much attention. She ignored me. "You can go!" I heard the teacher say and I got up and walked away as fast as I could. I walked straight to Snape's classroom and to my surprise he was nowhere to be seen. So I sat down on his desk waiting for the man with the black hair. Draco enters the classroom and I see that he's also surprised that Snape is nowhere to be found. We stare at each other in silence. Not knowing what to say to each other. 'I-' I want to start talking but Snape enters the room with much spectacle. 'Miss Greenvile. What do you think you are doing.' He says as he looks at me sitting on his desk with a strange expression. I stand up quickly. 'Sorry.'
