Letters |Draco Malfoy|

Sagacity

It's a truth that reading can soothe stress, and anxiety. Getting lost in a whole new world. It's honestly ironic seeing as I'm a witch going to a magical school, where unicorns and griffins exist. Even with all the adventures in my life I imagine a whole new world. Todays read was once again 'Pride and Prejudice.' It was my favorite Jane Austin book, and maybe even my favorite book. The romantic story of the entitled Mr. Darcy, and the opinionated Elizabeth Bennet. Finding love against all odds, if you wanna be dramatic.

"reading that still?" An irritating voice rang.

"Again." I corrected Malfoy with a huff.

"you just read it" he laughed.

I closed my book looking at the blond haired boy in front of me "why are you talking to me again? I'm angry with you remember?"

he rolled his eyes. "Still? That happened weeks ago"

"if I recall correctly you didn't apologize to me nor that poor boy. And even if you had, we're not friends remember?" I stood up much closer to him then I intended. "Now if you excuse me, Draco, I have potions homework to do."

"we do potions together remember?" He asked

"transfiguration!" I corrected myself, walking from the library towards the Hufflepuff common room

"your being dramatic" Draco said as he rolled his eyes, matching my pace.

"why do you care anyway?" I said walking backwards, looking at him.

"I don't" he scoffed.

my mouth fell agape as a sudden realization hit me. "You do care don't you!?" I laughed "I can't believe this, THE slytherin prince cares about a muggle born, he's just to prideful to say it!"

"shut up no I don't!" He said as if he was offended.

"your embarrassed!? This is brilliant! You want to be my friend" I teased poking at him. my mood was instantly better at this hilarious thought.

he scoffed as he walked away, making me laugh. I was almost flattered at the thought and I felt slightly flustered.

.....

Distracted by the flattery I felt from Draco wanting to be my friend, I almost forgot why I was mad at him. On top of that I was in a very good mood all morning.

"You looks so happy you'd make a golden retriever look sad." Sophie observed. I smirked looking at her, then I laughed 'evilly'. Though in all honesty it sounded more stupid than evil.

"I found out that his highness wants to be my friend!" I laughed almost in denial. "I hardly believe it"

"I hardly believe it either! we are talking about the same person right?" She wondered. "Maybe he like, likes you?" She teased. I scoffed at her comment. "Do you wanna be friends with him? Cause you always deny it."

"I don't know, I mean your quiet literally my only friend, but I suppose it might be nice..." I smiled softly.

we walked quietly down the halls till we made it to the opening of the library. Their sat at The table where Draco and I usually sit were 4 people. Draco and 3 girls. One was a short girl with brown hair, a round face, and a short nose that looked as if it had been taped to her forehead. The second was a taller girl, she was fairly beautiful with blue eyes, and she radiated with confidence even though she looked quite uncomfortable in the situation she was in. And the third was a bulky girl with short black hair.

Draco furrowed his eyebrows "as if you would ever find me being friends with a mudblood!" he fussed at them. I wasn't entirely sure what was happening, but I has an unnerving feeling in my stomach. I stood their listening, Draco calling anyone 'mudblood' was a red flag, and made bubbles of anger course threw me.

"then why were you waiting for her? You seem to do that a lot." The short one inquired.

Draco's eyes shot towards the tall girl for a split second, confusing me. "oh Please, professor Snape makes me talk with her, I'd never willingly talk to her" Draco seemed to struggle with his words, but they were convincing enough.

the bulky girl hmphed, as I walked toward the table. I cleared my throat. "Speak of the devil" the short girl smirked. My limbs felt like jello, and I think I'd melt if I stood like that any longer. Draco looked guilty, but his eyes flashed back to the tall girl, and his frown was replaced by a smirk. I sat with my head down till the girls left.

"so I'm guessing I'm the mudblood" I nodded. "I was only kidding about you wanting to be my friend anyway" I laughed with melancholy. Draco's mouth opened as if he were to say something, but in the end no words came out. "If you don't wanna tutor me I can ask snape for a different tutor." I waited for him to say something, but there was utter silence. "Ok... you know-" I looked at him with confidence "I used to live with the Philosophy that I wasn't worth your time," I told him "I mean I literally told you that, but i realized that the truth is that as of right now, your not worth mine."
