Draco and I are in the common rooms, where all I want to do is relax. I go and plop down on the main couch, looking around at the very bare space around me.
Huh.
Usually, more people are hanging around here. Eh, maybe there's a Quidditch match somewhere. Draco comes and sits down beside me on the couch. I start to stare into the green-hazed fire pit, losing a sense of time and reality. It continues, until Draco calling my name snaps me out of it.
"Vyla!" He gripes.
I snap my head to the side and meet his gaze.
"What?" I gleam.
Draco shakes his head. He balls his hands into fists and undoes them again. I recognize this motion to be one all too familiar. He's got something on his mind.
"Is something the matter, Draco?" I ask in genuine interest.
"Nothing new... Don't fret your pretty little head over it."
I click my tongue and smile, "Aww, you think I'm pretty?" I tease.
He playfully rolls his eyes.
"Sorry, I meant to say 'petty'." He jokes.
I gasp, "Wow! Jerk!"
But in the end, we laugh it off.
...Man, why can't he be like this with other people?

I'm down on the base floor of the castle, walking by myself through the halls. I pass by the grand feast room when suddenly, I feel myself get pushed forward. I almost fall over, but thankfully I recover from it before that happens. I growl under my breath and stop walking. I whip around, ready to let whoever pushed really have it. . .
But no one is behind me.
I guess that can be easily brushed off as just magic. I take a deep breath and try to let it go. Gripping my books for my next class , I keep walking. As I turn the bend in the next hall, I get pushed AGAIN. But it's too much force to recover, so I fall face-first into the floor.
"Ow! Sonnava bitch!" This slips.
I sigh, "Rats."
I gather my books on the floor and rise to my feet, hoping that I'm just not pushed again. I roll my neck back as I continue walking through the halls. Not gonna lie, that fall hurt my leg. But I'll just limp it off as nothing happened. Because THAT's how I ROLL.

I walk into my Defense Against the Dark Arts Classroom, and I spot Valentine sitting in the third row from the front. Ah, typical Gryffs. Always sitting where the teacher can easily smack you. Not that they would... just saying. I quickly debate whether or not to sit with them or more towards the back of the class. Then, I watch as a trio that walks past me go sit beside them. Oh... fun.
"Vyla! Over here."
I look to the right of the class and see Draco sitting with two other Slytherins. Now that I look, it seems like the class is divided. Gryffindors on one side, and us Slytherin on the other. I sigh, knowing that it'll probably be like this for the first few weeks. I approach Draco and scoot in next to him.
