Glass Love

Chapter 3

"And you're sure this is her room?"

"Yes, a girl from downstairs told me she saw her run in here."

"You better be right, Blaise."

Orla shot up from her bed and ran towards the door before standing in front of it. Looking around, her hand flew out as her glass wand made contact with it. "If you try to get into my room, I'll hex you to next year." Orla states with venom in her voice.

The hallway grew quiet before footsteps could be heard. Orla opened the door slightly to see Draco leaning on the wall outside it. A glare spread over her face. "What do you want from me?"

"Where did you go earlier? He asks pushing off the wall and grabbing the edge of the door and coming closer to her face. "None of your business." Orla states back before holding her wand to his chin. "Impedimenta"

The world slows for Draco as he is quickly pushed back by Orla. "I did warn you." She states while staring at him and watching him try to catch himself before he crashes to the ground. "What did you do?" He asks very slowly.

"I slowed you down a little. The next time you think about breaking into my room, I'll have the windows cave in on you." Orla threatens. To emphasize her threat, she takes some glass from her room and smashes it into the wall above his head without moving a finger.

Draco looks at her strangely as glass falls around him, but does not touch him. "How?" He questions looking over her slowly before her eyes go wide at the realization of what she had done. "Just don't come here again." She mumbles before closing the door gently and locking it.

"Orla, come back out." Draco stares up at the door while slowly reaching towards it. 'She's going to pay for that hex.' He thinks before touching her door. That was when he noticed the strange glow from under the door. "I wasn't trying to break in. We were coming to invite you.." Draco trailed off as Orla opened the door slowly to peak out.

Once the door is opened all the way, Orla sits on the floor in front of him and studies his features. Draco looks around her towards the beautiful lit ceiling. "How did you-" "Oh stop." Orla sighs before waving her wand and undoing the hex.

"That was too annoying." She states staring at him. Draco clears his throat before sitting down in front of her. "You're not going to tell anyone what you just saw." Orla bites her lip before turning her chin a little to look into her room. "If you promise not to tell, you may come in and I'll show you."

Draco looked at her oddly before standing up and offering his hand. Orla looked at it before standing up on her own. They both walked into her room before Draco closed the door. "Latch it." Orla demands before sitting her wand down on the bed.

"You broke the window on the train." He states as he latches the door. "And on the stairwell." She confirms while looking him over. Draco was wearing a black suit that made him look thin, but well sophisticated. "How?"

"Gifts passed down within the Ricci family." Orla says while shrugging her shoulders and sitting down on her bed. Draco looks at her inquisitively. "So, you're not going to tell anyone?" She asks while patting the spot next to her.

"Where's that fun in that?" He asks while sitting by her as a glass cup forms in front of him. "Tea?" She asks moving the tea pot to her hand before pouring the liquid into the cup. "So you just do it by moving your hand?" Draco shakes his head before Orla takes the tea.

Glass forms a small ball in front of Draco as Orla sips her tea. "I can do it with my mind as well." She shrugs as if she's not impressed, but Draco is. His thoughts swirl to dark ones as his mission comes to mind.
