My Choice

"Draco, I love quidditch as much as the next but we have to study for final exams." I say trying to reason with him. Grabbing his arm I try to pull him away from the quidditch field.

"But Evadanne it's quidditch." Draco whines. "Common we are the smartest Slytherin first years we will be fine if we don't study for one day." Draco says trying to pull me towards the field.

"You might be a genius Draco, but I'm just me, I have to study all the time to even try and keep up with you. And half the time you help me study." Draco gives me a look before stopping.

"Just you? Evadanne I don't know how you think of yourself but you're bloody brilliant and you don't need to study for a few hours, after the game we can study I promise." Before I can respond he says something before me again. "Think of it as your birthday present to me. This way you don't have to buy me one." Draco says crossing his arms over his chest and a smirk growing on his face as he knows he won.

"Fine let's go we don't want to be late. But if Slytherin wins and there is a party we have to skip to study." I say walking past him towards the field.

"b-but Evadanne, wait that's, Evadanne don't leave me behind!" Draco yells after me, he runs after me catching up to me as I enter one of the stands to climb up it to find a seat. "Slytherin will win not if, There's no if, Slytherin will crush Ravenclaw, and it'll probably be the biggest party all year and you want to skip?" Draco complains as we make it to the front row pushing other Slytherins out of the way so that we could be up at the front.

Once in our spots Blaise, Pansy, Crabbe and Goyle join us in the front. Draco was on my left with Pansy next to him, Blaise was on my right and Crabbe and Goyle next to him. "Evening Evadanne." Blaise says as he leans over the rails to get a good look at the field.

"Evening Zabini."  I say.

"You here that Potter is in the infirmary?" Pansy asks Draco. Potter is in the infirmary? Does that mean Granger and Ron are there too? Leaning closer to Draco to hear them talking my arm brushes against Draco causing him to look at me confused. Looking away I see Blaise looking at me with a raised eyebrow.

"Potter went after Quirrell who was trying to steal something from Dumbledore. Which is absolutely idiotic in my opinion he's a first year what is he going to do against the DADA professor.  However Weasley and Granger weren't hurt at all, though Weasley has said that he hit his head pretty hard. No one really believes him though. Potter got the worst of it had to miss a Quidditch game which cause Gryffindor not to make it to the final game again. Which is why we are going against Ravenclaw because they one this morning." Blaise explains.

"Ahh okay. Thank you Zabini."

"Figured you would be worried about your brother." He explains.

"No, no. I could care less if he was fine or not." I say crossing my arms over my chest though I'm sure Blaise can see right through the façade.

"Well even though my sister, half sister, is sorted in Ravenclaw I like to check in on her every once and while, even if we don't get along."

"My brother couldn't care less if I die."

"I'm sure that's not true I'm sure he's just to prideful to take back what he says and so that why he continues to act terrible to you. I mean that's what I would do in his position." Blaise say with a shrug. I would have responded but Lee interrupted me as he announced the game was starting. Throughout the game Blaise and I would lean in to yell something to each other and by the end of it I learned Blaise is actually pretty chill. The game went quicker than I thought it would at the end I turned to Draco who looked pissed.

"What's wrong Draco? Slytherin won shouldn't you be Celebrating?" I question as students rush past to get down to the field.

"Why were you talking to Zabini the entire game?" Draco questioned clearly annoyed.

"It wasn't the entire game Draco, and I don't know we were just talking nothing much. Now come on Let's get back to the common room so we can study before the party." I say grabbing his arm, he still seemed annoyed as he let me drag him down the stands to the common room.

"Are you two friends now?" He questions as we enter the common room which was already quickly turning into a party.

"Draco, please just let it be."

"Are you two friends now? Don't need me anymore?" Draco pulls his arm from my grasp as he starts to walk away.

"Draco Malfoy! I can be friends with who ever I want I do not belong to you. You are my friend though, so when you stop acting like a prat you can come find me. Have a good bloody birthday!" I yell at him, turning and running up the stairs to my dorm. Slamming the door shut and locking with a spell I pull out studying materials to ignore the thumping of the music coming from the dungeon below me.

At some point I fell asleep on the floor with my books and papers surrounding me, when I'm woken up by someone lifting me up and gently setting me on the bed. The smell of mint and cologne filling my senses. "Shush go back to bed." Someone whispered, I'm about to fall back asleep when the voice registers in my head.

"Draco?" I question quietly, suddenly sitting up and hitting my head against his. "Merlin!" I yelp grabbing my forehead.

"What did you hit me for?" He questions standing up holding his chin.

"I didn't mean to hit you, it was an accident. I was startled, how did you even get into my dorm?"

"There's a spell a few of the students know, to still the stairs. One of the girls cast the spell for me so I could come up here and apologize but you were asleep already. So I was going to move you because sleeping on the floor is disgusting. I was also going to clean up your studying materials." He says, with an apologetic look covering his face. "Also, I'm sorry for being a prat, but Zabini he's not a good guy and I just don't want you to get hurt. So I got defensive when I saw you talking to him. I just don't want you to get hurt." Draco mumbles out.

Standing up I walk over to Draco giving him a hug. "Thank you and I'll keep it in mind. But I was serious Draco, I'm your friend not Crabbe, Goyle or Pansy." Pulling away he gives me a look I'm not used to as he back away from me.

"I know, thank you for going to the game with me. Also me and you are bloody idiots." He says with a laugh. I give him a questioning look, waiting for him to continue. "We finished finals." He says in a duh tone.

"What?" Are you joking? I could have been down at a party but instead I was studying for finals I already took.

"We must have been so tired from the finals that we just completely forgot that we had even taken them." Draco says shrugging his shoulders. "Hey tomorrow why don't we go out to the black lake?"

"Yeah, we'll do that Draco. But I hope you know that I will be sleeping in." I say slightly laughing.

"You'll sleep in as much as I do Evadanne. So you better be up at 8 am." He says with a cheeky smile opening my door and leaving the dorm. Sighing I lay down onto the bed thinking over what Draco said about Blaise and finals bits and pieces coming back about the tests. Damn, I must have had amnesia due to the stress. I wasn't laying there long before I fell back asleep.

A/N I don't even know what I'm doing with life anymore.
