Glass Love

Chapter 12

"So you'll go with me to Professor Slughorns party?" Orla asks grabbing a piece of chicken from the tray in front of her. Draco nodded while prodding his food. "If things do not come up." This made Orla frown. She was so curious what he was doing with the cabinet.

"Orla?" Hermione tapped her shoulder making Draco sneer at Hermione. "My friend Luna and I were wondering if you would like to go dress shopping the next time we go to Hogsmead. We can order something from the catalog and it will be delivered."

Orla glanced at Draco with question in her eyes. He shrugged making Orla sigh a little. "I'd love to, thank you." Orla patted Hermione's hand and smiled. Hermione smiled back and then walked to her table to sit next to Harry and Ron.

"She's a mudblood. You shouldn't associate with her." Draco says while throwing his fork down and turning towards her. Orla scoffed and rolled her eyes. "There is nothing wrong with her. I do not understand why some people are against our mingling with muggles."

Blaise stiffened at hearing Orla say this as he knew the Malfoy were against those who were not pureblood. "Orla, Dracos family is one of the oldest pureblood families. They care very much about that."

Orla laughed a little while chewing on her chicken. "Well, you best break up with me before your family meets me. My grandpop is a muggle." She sipped her water and smiled a little more while starting to play with her newest piece of jewelry. Dracos eyes widened while looking over her and shaking his head.

"Doesn't matter." He says before standing up. "I'll see you in class."

Draco could not think about living without her. He would have to conceal her heritage if she was to meet his family. He had planned on asking her to come back to England a few days before they come back from winter break to meet his family.

He also wanted to meet her family. Draco stopped on a stairwell and looked out the window. 'I want to see how this works more.' He thinks before putting his hand on the window and trying hard to focus on making the window crack.

"So, are you going to treat me differently now?" Orla asks as a small crack developed in the window below Dracos hand. "No." He says without any hesitation.

"Are you sleeping?" She asks walking up a few more stairs and putting her hand over his. "Will it to crack more. You are in control." Orla leans her head on his arm as he puts more effort into cracking the window. "Not really." He responds while turning around to face her.

"Come to my room tonight. You need sleep." Orla traces the dark circle forming under his eyes while frowning. Draco closed his eyes and held onto her wrist as Orla caressed his face. The school bell going off broke them from their moment. "Just one night." She says, pleading with him.

"One." Draco nods before they continue up the stairs before walking down the hall to a stairwell that led to Professor Snapes class. A few students were lined up outside his class waiting to be let in. The door creaked open making a few students go ridged before making their way into his classroom.

Orla had always dreaded coming to this classroom because of how dark and gloomy it was. "Today we will be testing your nonverbal spells. You all should be able to do at least one by now." A few murmurs spread around the room as Professor Snape stood in front of his students. "Quiet." He says slamming a book down.

"He's in rare form today." Orla whispered while looking down at her book. "Ricci. Since you keep talking, you can be the first to show us your skills." Professor Snape grabbed her book from her hand as Orla stood up. "Of course, Professor." She smiled before pulling out her wand.

'Accio quill.' She thought while flicking her wand a little and a few quills flew to her hand. Orla gave Snape a cheerful smile before sitting down. Draco bumped her foot beneath the table. "I expect another spell to be mastered within the next few weeks Miss. Ricci."
