the serpents rose

chapter 4

" Are you seriously calling me blondie right now? " He said stifling his laugh.

" I guess I am, I mean what else do I call you? " I said whilst looking at him with a hint of irritation.

" How about my name? "

I gave him a plain look causing him to sigh.

" You don't know my name, do you? " He said, looking like he was about to give up.

I gave him a small, innocent smile that clearly said - no I don't.

" My name is Draco Malfoy," He said. Instantly everything made sense: the platinum blond hair; the aura - just everything.

I gave him a small smile before saying, " Stella Fallen "

" Not Estella Fallen? " He said snickering a bit.

" Haha," I said showing I was unamused by his antics, but we both knew I was still a bit amused.

" So why are you up here? Curfew's already started " he said while squinting his eyes at me.

" Well just exploring and I really want to eat some food," I said shamelessly. I mean yes ok people I'm hungry.

He fake gasped before laughing a bit. " Hmmm ok, I could go for some food," he said before turning around and starting to descend the stairs. I gaped at him - what the heck was he doing? " Well? Are you coming Stella? " he said faintly.

What the heck? Of course, I'm coming! " Yeah, one-sec blondie! " I whisper - shouted, making my way down the stairs. I finally reached the bottom of the stairs to see him leaning against a portrait talking quietly to it. When he saw me he immediately stopped talking and scoffed playfully.

" Finally made it huh "

" Haha "

" So why are you here? " Draco questioned as we started to walk downstairs. I had no idea where we were, but I assumed he did.

" I'm here for family stuff - my godfather had some work here so I decided to come too. The work will probably last a while so it just made sense. "

" Oh, that's cool,  my father travels around for work a lot too "

I'm sure he wanted to say something about my mother and father but probably realized it wasn't really his place to ask so didn't, and I'm thankful for that. I'm messy and most people leave when they find out about that. Maybe that's why I never let people in.

Eh, I'm too hungry for this emotional stuff.

" So you have to be careful on these stairs cause they do like to move a lot," Draco said as we started to descend the moving stairs.

"It's ok I'm quite used to weird magical stuff," I said sighing. 

" Well I'm sure that's true," he said mischievously, His grey eyes were practically smirking at me.

I was getting a bit nervous, my cover could be blown if I played my cards wrong.

" And what exactly does that mean? "

" Well, it means that we hear a lot about The famous Estella Fallen " 

" Wow, I would say - I hope they were good- but judging by the look on your face..... they're not?" I questioned. 

I mean come on, this guy was very confusing. 

- I'm sorry for the late update guys, I've just had school and PTA meetings. I swear I freaked out.  Anyway, the next chapter coming soon. Bye!!!
