"Shut up right now." He says, covering my mouth with his hand.
For a moment we both stare at each other, not quite sure what to do next.
My body is frozen against the wall. All I can focus on is Draco's minty breath that dances across my face.
Hi...

It's been a long week. I've tried to make my vision clearer or see a little more but it's no use. It hasn't helped that every time I see Harry he bugs me about it, begging to know more. We've been meeting for 30 minutes every lunch to go through spells in an effort to make sure he's prepared for the first challenge but it's pretty difficult to prepare for something you know nothing about. On a positive note, Cedric's tutoring payed off and I was able to brew Weedosoros on my first go, almost sending Snape into cardiac arrest. I've somehow managed to keep up with all my work but the weekend couldn't have come sooner.
I'm pushing through the crowded hallway on my way back to the common room when a firm hand clamps down on my shoulder. I turn around to find myself face to face with Theó, Blaise and Draco.
"You look like a complete lunatic, you know?" Blaise says, laughing to himself. My friends have always made fun of the walk I do when I'm alone. Blaise has previously described it as both 'purposeful' and 'frantic'. I have a tendency to speed walk my way through crowds when I'm alone. The walk is also usually coupled with a severe resting bitch face. Everyone but me seems to find this incredibly funny.
"Thank you, Blaise." I say sarcastically.
Theó and Blaise laugh at my response before delving into conversation about Madam Pince's extra bitchy mood today. Draco walks a little ahead of them so that he and I are side by side.
"The boys and I were planning on heading to the Three Broomsticks tonight." He stares forward as he talks, ignoring any effort I make to lock eyes.
"Nice..." I don't really know what to reply.
"Well do you and Daphne want to come?" Draco sounds a little annoyed that he's having to ask. He probably assumed I would take his blatant statement as an invitation.
"I-I'll check with Daph but I'm sure she'd love to."
"And you?"
"Sure- I could do with a break. This week hasn't exactly been relaxing." I could be imagining it but I'm pretty certain I see Draco smile a little when I tell him I'll come.

"You look hot as fuck" Daphne exclaims as she walks back into our dorm.
"Stop it!" I give her a cheeky wink before returning to straightening my hair.
"You've completely missed half your hair." Daph says, walking over to where I'm sat. She takes the straightener from my hand and begins carefully partitioning sections of my hair.
"I'm glad we're going out tonight. I swear it's been months since we had a proper night out." I watch as Daph's eyes cross a little as she focuses on doing my hair.
"Mhmm." She stops for a minute and admires her work. "Perfect! I agree, it might give you a chance to get Draco alone..."
"Who said I want that?" I ask, squinting my eyes at her.
