Falling For The Ravenclaw Girl - A Draco Malfoy Fanfic

Ch-21- Draco's behaviour

It was Gryfinndor versus Slytherin match today.
The air was filled with pump and excitement, everyone cheering for their favourites.
"So, who are you cheering today, Draco like you should or that stupid  Potter friend of yours?", Pansy commented as Mayrah was walking towards the Quidditch pitch.
As Mayrah was about to tell her to mind her own business, "Get over your childish games Pansy. Raj is here for me.", Zabini said with a smirk, walking next to Mayrah.
"Or maybe me, who knows.", Ginny said catching up with her broomstick in her hand.
Pansy rolled her eyes and quickly stomped off to the pitch.

"Good luck Ginny.", Mayrah said to Ginny as she went to catch up with Harry and others.
"Good luck idiot. Try not to die or injure yourself. Your face already looks horrific.", she said to Zabini.
"What's with the shade, pea brain?", he replied with a smirk.
"Hey! What are you two making me feel a third wheel for?", Draco caught up.
"Oh Malfoy, we were just discussing how she could ditch you to be my girl.", Zabini joked.
Draco's body language gave away even when he knew it was a joke, smirk of his face died and his jaw formed a hard line, before he could reply, "Sorry, I am pretty happy with my boyfriend, Zabini. Better try your luck somewhere useful.", she said smiling at Draco holding his hand as they reached the bifurcation for stands and players room. Draco gave back a small smile.
"Good luck Draco.", she said leaving a hold on his hand.
"I remember I got a kiss my last match.", he said with a smirk.
"Eww, I am leaving.", Zabini said making a face and going to the players room.
"Good luck boyfriend, try not to catch me off-guard with Snitch.", she said giving a small peck on his cheek, and going to the stands.
"Thats the deal, May. I just hope you aren't completely caught off guard.", he said sighing to the spot she was standing on priorly. Shaking his head at the unavoidable events ahead, he decided to concentrate on Quidditch.

The match was rather skewed to Gryfinndor with Ron doing explicitly well as a keeper. Gryfinndor won and everyone was celebrating like crazy around him when Luna and Mayrah came up.
"Congratulations Ron!", Mayrah said as he took her into a hug, all excited.
She soon hugged Harry and Ginny too. After a bit of talk and cheer, she thought it was best to go to the castle, and see her Slytherin buddies.

She came in to the great hall where a late lunch was taking place and Zabini was sitting there eating alone, away from Crabbe, Goyle , Pansy and the usual Slytherin crowd.
"Hey, why the long face?", she asked sitting next to him.
"Ah, we tried.", he said with a sad shrug.
"You did your best, its just , they were better.", she said patting his shoulder.
"Should you be sitting here, traitor?", Pansy remarked.
Mayrah just rolled her eyes, not finding it worthwhile to answer to her.
Honestly, didn't she have a life?

She had lunch with Zabini, getting to know each other and sticking better as friends.

At night, she was back to duty after dinner with a non- ending pile of books and again for the 1000th time the current year, Draco was late and nowhere to be seen.
"Hey May. What you doing?", he asked coming next to her, sitting down in a swift motion.
"Just potions essay.", she replied adding her last lines to the work and rolling her parchment.
She noticed Draco observing her movements carefully.
"What?", she asked raising a brow.
"Nothing. I like looking at your face. Whats your problem?", he said with a smirk.
"Thats creepy stalker-ish vibe Draco.", she said clearly blushing and melting at the attention.
"Why were you late?", she asked further.
"I had to give a set of quidditch bit to the team. Idiots failed today.", he said all grumpy suddenly.
"Hey! It was okay. It was one game.", she said with a smile, holding his hand.
"I might even leave early."
"Why?"
"Got to train them for next match."
"At this hour?"
"No practicals, just strategising and theory.", he said with a huge gulp of air.
Mayrah didn't ask many questions further.
