Chapter Sixteen

Perrie's P.O.V 

It's been about a week since Christmas and today was the day that my brother was coming back. I got up in the morning and got dressed and met Draco downstairs in the common room. We interlocked our fingers and walked down to The Great Hall for breakfast. Once we got there the first thing I noticed was my brother sitting at Gryffindor table with Harry and Hermione. Things soon went back to normal. During Christmas break I could be with Draco without anyone staring at us. But now that everyone was back we where being stared at once again. But this time not just Ron and Harry; this time by half of the Gryffindor table. I'm guessing word got around over Christmas break. But as always me and Draco ignored it and took our seats by each other at Slytherin table. I sat between Draco and one of my dorm mates Daphne. "Perrie!" She said in a happy existed voice and hugged me. I laughed and hugged back. "Hey Daphne. How was your Christmas?"

"Good." She smiled very kindly much like I would. "What about yours?". 

I heard Draco chuckle and I hit his arm. I rolled my eyes at his childish behavior but chuckled slightly to. "It was nice." I told her. She just nodded and smiled and ate her breakfast. "So you wanna do something tomorrow?" She asked after awhile. "We have a trip to Hogsmade." She reminded me. I smiled and nodded. "Yeah I would like that.". She smiled "Great." She smiled picking up her stuff as it was time for our first class. "Wanna walk with me to class?" 

"Sure!" I kissed Draco's cheek and grabbed my stuff going with her.  As we walked out of The Great Hall of course Ron was staring and I wasn't the only one who noticed. "Does your brother have a staring problem?" Daphne asked.

"No. But I'm starting to wonder. All he does is stare. I mean honestly!" 

Daphne laughed. "Maybe he has a staring problem you don't know about."

I chuckled "Maybe.". 

I took a seat by Daphne in Charms and when Draco arrived to class he took the open seat by me. Ron and his friends taking the three seats behind us. I sat thew class listening and taking notes as Ron and Harry whispered about me. 

"Does she know?" I heard Harry whisper to Ron.

"Obviously not. My sister isn't a criminal or anything. I don't get what she sees in Malfoy anyway." He replyed. 
 

I bit my tongue to keep from screaming at them; which I was about to do before Hermione beat me to it. "Shut up Ronald she's right there for god sake! And I'm trying to pay attention." She whisper shouted. 

"Thanks Hermione." I whispered not thinking she heard me, but she whispered back "Anytime.". I smiled knowing that at least one Gryffindor had my back, the others seem to be very rude. 

As Charms ended I walked with Draco to Ancient Runes. Since Daphne didn't have that class with us I told her to meet us in front of The Great Hall for lunch. She nodded and took off to her next class. Draco had his arm wrapped around me which got me another glare from Ron. But I couldn't care less. I sat down by Draco and another Slytherin boy that I didn't know. I sat down and listened thew the class taking notes as I did in Charms. After Ancient Runes me and Draco headed to Arithmancy with the three not far behind I sighed as the three sat behind us like they always do. It was starting to annoy me how they always follow us to class. I could tell Hermione was starting to get annoyed as well. I sat thew the whole class listening and writing down notes has I have done in the classes before me. Then we went to Herbology where thankfully the Slytherin's and Gryffindor's where separated. 

After class I grabbed my bag and went with Draco to The Great Hall. Where Daphne was waiting for us. I smiled and walked in with them. "So how was class?" Daphne asked.

"Freaky." I told her.

"How so?"

"Well for one her brother, Potter and Granger don't know how to stay away from. us." Draco answered for me.

"I noticed that he follows me and Perrie to." 

"Yeah well I think I'm gonna have a talk with him after lunch." I told them
