Glass Love

Chapter 6

"Orla! Over here!" Blasie yells towards Orla over the crowd while patting the seat next to him. Orla smiled towards him while walking towards the open seat on the end of the aisle. "Draco told me you don't like people, so I thought sitting on the end would be best." Blasie says as she sits down and laughs a little.

"I don't not like people." Orla pulled her sweater closer. "They just freak me out sometimes." She laughed a little as he nodded and continued his conversation with the boy next to him. Cheers started to erupt as the Hufflepuff team raced onto the field before the Slytherin team raced out. Students started to stand up around Orla and cheering for their green team.

Orla rubbed her hands together before standing up after Blasie and looking around. She had never been to a quidditch game so this was going to be interesting. "Draco is over there. He's the seeker. He only has to catch the golden snitch and we'll win the game." Blasie explains while pointing out Draco flying on his broom. 

Before Orla could process the positions, a ball flew by their stand making the students 'woah' and move back a little. The girl in front of Orla bumped into her making Orla glare heavily at her. The girl cleared her throat before looking back towards the game. 

Draco had been in the same spot for a few minutes now before starting to move to another position. Every now and then, he would check on the Hufflepuff seeker to see if they had moved. Dracos eye then travelled to his redhead. She looked a bit uncomfortable sitting in the crowd, but her attention was trained on him. A small smile graced her face before she nodded in acknowledgement. 

"The snitch has been spotted and Hufflepuff is right on it's trail!" The announcer yells making Draco break eye contact before heading towards the snitch. He could see it too! Draco and the Hufflepuff player raced forward with their arms outreached. Within a few seconds, Draco's hand wrapped around the snitch before pulling his broom back. Holding it up in the air, cheers rang out from the green stands. 

Orla smiled and shoved her hands in her pockets as students jumped around her. "Your boyfriend won the match!" Blasie yells while grabbing her shoulders before continuing to cheer. Orlas smile faltered a bit at the word boyfriend. 'Was he?'

They had only known each other for a month, but she knew she liked him. That much was very clear to them both. 'Should I ask him?'

Students moving grabbed Orla out of her head as Blasie linked their arms together. "I shall be your escort Orla." He says with a toothy grin. Orla smiled back before walking onward with Blasie towards the Slytherin common room. "We shall have a party to celebrate this victory. There will be music and drinks and my personal favorite, dancing."

A few minutes later, drinks and food were placed on a table and music filled the air. Orla stuck close to Blasie and his friends and engaged in their conversation sparingly. 

"There's our winners!" Someone yells as the quidditch team rolls into the dungeon. Cheers erupt as a cup is lifted into the air. "We won!" A boy yells while thrusting the cup in the air a few times. Orla smiled while watching the commotion. 

"It wasn't too hard. Had a pretty girl to inspire me." Draco whispers in her ear, making Orla jump a little. Draco ran his fingers slowly down her right arm making goose flesh erupt. "A pretty girl, eh?" Orla questioned while glancing up at him. "Hope she wasn't me."

Draco shook his head before putting his lips to the tip of her ear. "It was." Draco kissed the side of her head gently before his warmth left her side as he walked around her to talk to Blaise and a few other of his friends. 

Someone cleared their throat behind Orla making her turn. "I hope you're not going after my Draco." A girl about the same height as Orla with brown shoulder length hair.
