Her Eyes || Draco Malfoy

5

Sitting next to Malfoy's at meals was definitely not as bad as I expected it to be especially after we made a deal to try and be nice to eachother.

Which served as a challenge for myself as I was used to picking on the blonde any chance I got to.

Breakfast was definitely alot worse than I remembered it being, I didn't eat breakfast. I wasn't hungry or in the mood for it so I got up dismissing myself from the table and left.

I decided I would go to the black lake, be away from everyone and everything for a little bit. Once I had sat down I leaned my head back closing my eyes listening to the sound of the leaves moving and the birds chirping.

It was peaceful and I should have known that it was going to be to good to be true when I heard someone sit next to me sighing.

"Sick of me already?" A familiar deep voice asked me when I opened my eyes looking over "no I just got overwhelmed" I answered pushing my glasses up my nose a little bit when he pushed his blonde hair back letting it fall across his forehead.

He tilted his head slightly and a worried expression fell onto his face though I think it was forced, at least he was trying to be my friend, right?

"I don't deal with crowds well, I get overwhelmed which is one of the reasons why Im usually reading" I explained trying to see if he actually carried though and by the looks of it he did.

I was really shocked he was actually showing he cared "anxiety? I get that" he said relating to me in a way I didn't expect him to especially seeing how carefree he is most the time, you know being the so called Slytherin Prince and being a dick to everyone who spoke up against him.

So seeing a side to him that I don't think I've ever seen was kinda nice.

It had only been a couple days since the bet and so far neither of us had gotten into any fights with the other. We had alot of similar interests, like potions.

"My anxiety isn't as bad as it was" I told him as I took a small rock and threw it into the lake sighing loudly "only because I found ways to cope with it but it was more avoiding rather than confronting my anxiety I don't even know how to stop an anxiety attack" I continued looking over at the blonde who was listening to every word I said very carefully.

"I can help I mean we're supposed to be at least trying to be friends right?" He offered with a small smile, trying to be nice.

"I'd like that, alot actually" I said softly letting out a small dry laugh accompany my words before smiling "and you know Malfoy, you're not as bad as I thought when you're not letting your attitude fuck that up of course"

He shook his head in amusement as the bell went off singling that our first classes would be starting soon so we stood up and started walking to our first class.

"So what is the other reason you always have your nose in a book" the blonde wondered as we walked through the busy corridor to head to divination.

I hesitated as I never told anyone this, but still I answered thinking it would be good to get it off my chest "to be closer to my mother, she died on my 7th birthday and she used to read to me, when she died I ended up with everything naturally and she was book worm like me so I ended up with a bunch of her favorite books" I explained as we entered the stairwell.

I took a deep breath taking my glasses off for a second to wipe away the singular tear that fell down my face "you should see the world through my eyes, my mother is dead and my father has been locked up in Azkaban singe I was 2 or 3 so I never really knew him I'm sure you'd understand why I push myself away from everything and I don't know why I just told you that" I laughed dryly keeping my eyes down on the ground.

We entered the classroom sitting up in the far corner in the top of the classroom, I don't know how we ended up sitting together but it ended up happening.

Waiting for class to start we talked amonst eachother simply just attempting to get to know eachother "well Malfoy are your parents still.. you know together? I only ever hear about your father so.." I asked trailing my words off with an uncertain tone unsure of if I even should have asked that.

I was trying to be social and I'm glad he could see that but I hoped I wasn't making him uncomfortable "They are actually still together" he answered through he seemed uneasy at the mention of his parents so I decided not to continue that conversation.

But before I could change the subject Trelawney signaled for everyone to be silent before she spoke.

"Welcome my children in this room you shall explore the noble art of divination" she greeted making me raise and eyebrow, crossing my arms and legs as I listened "in this room you shall discover if you possess the sight—" she paused as she walked into the table she stoob behind making me laughing quietly to myself.

"I am professor Trelawney— together we shall cast ourselves into the future!" She exclaimed as I glanced over at the blonde to see his reaction and saw that he was biting a smile and trying not to laugh.

"This term we will be focusing on Tasseography which is the art of reading tea leaves so could you please take the cup of the person sitting opposite you" she ordered and I looked back at Draco taking his cup to look inside it when suddenly he snorted quietly making me look up at him curiously.

I raised an eyebrow reaching forward to gran my cup and looking down barely making out a swan formed in the cup making me tilt mynhead curiously and looking in the book we had assigned to us.

"A swan; symbolizes good luck and a happy love life coming your way" I read slowly before pushing my cup away from me questioning why it would be that and who it was about.
