*The next day*
Draco's POV:
Because of what happened with Ivory yesterday, I couldn't sleep at night. My body was restless, so was my mind. I really don't know why I care so much about her already. Especially since caring has never been one of my strong qualities. And also, not even starting on the fact that I smelled her in that love potion. I mean, after that night at the Astronomy Tower, it was no longer surprising to me who I would smell. However, I've never truly fallen in love with anyone before.
She said she smelled grass, but I'm not sure I believe her pathetic lies. Ivory is probably trying to make me jealous and get on my nerves. I can't deny that her filthy plan succeeded. Ivory doesn't seem like a Weasley type to me anyway.
I sat at the Slytherin table, waiting for her to walk into the Great Hall. Surprisingly, she didn't show up today. Her Mudblood friends were seated at the Gryffindor table behind me, laughing and celebrating because that Pottah had managed to do something 'noble' again. After they had finished cheering, I leaned back, trying to eavesdrop on their conversation. Which was hard to follow because Pansy was laughing loudly next to me at Blaise's joke. I did however catch a few words that sound like they might be about Ivory.
Pansy tapped me on the shoulder, snapping me out of my thoughts, "Draco? Are you even listening to me?"
"Shut up Pansy.", I scoffed annoyed. She recoiled, falling silent.
"What's up with you today, Malfoy?", Blaise asked, his tone shifting as he stepped in to protect Pansy.
"None of your business, Blaise." I stood up, shoving my plate toward him in frustration.
"Calm down Draco, are ya keeping secrets from us now or something?" Blaise shoved the plate back toward me, giving me an intense stare.
I scoffed at Blaise's words and walked over to the Gryffindor table, deliberately ignoring both him and Pansy as they called after me.
"Granger, I'm sure you know where Ivory is.", I said, addressing Hermione directly. Hermione already looked annoyed when she watched me come over to their table. "Why do you care, Malfoy?"
"Watch the attitude, Granger."
"If you give me one good reason why you want to know where she is, I'll tell you." Ginny joined the conversation.
"No, don't tell him!" Hermione immediately disagreed with her friend. Ginny looked at her, hesitating if she should tell me or not.
"Stop the games. Where the fuck is she?", I snapped.
"Ask us no questions, and we'll tell you no lies.", Fred and George replied in unison. Their synchronized response only increasing my frustration. Her friends were absolutely useless. No wonder they were called the 'Golden trio'. First place for being pathetic.
"Pathetic mudbloods!"
Storming out of the Great Hall, I was determined to find her myself. She was probably just in her dorm. Where else would she be hanging around so early in the morning? I entered the Gryffindor common room. Normally, students from other houses weren't allowed in, but I didn't care. I had to check up on her and forget about all my worries. I could somehow feel that something wasn't right.
I recalled hearing Ginny mention that their dorm was number five. The stairs creaked beneath me with every step, and the musty smell of the hallway made my skin crawl. The entire place was decorated in red, an atrocious color in my opinion. When I reached the door, I knocked.
Ivory's POV:
I couldn't bring myself to go to the Great Hall for breakfast today. There was only one reason for that. I did not want to see Draco after he found me crying yesterday. He was sweet, sure, but I don't know if he actually cared or if I was just another girl falling for one of his ridiculous jokes. To be honest, I felt a bit embarrassed.
