My Potector.

Chapter 3

Helen

The week went by quickly, and before I knew it Friday had rolled around. I started panicking when the last class of the day, potions, arrived. I was walking with Pansy.
"Ugh! I'm so nervous for later!" I said, dragging my hand over my face.
"It's going to be fine!" Pansy said. She opened the door, and we found our seats.
"Hello students." Professor Snape said, "today I will be assigning a team project. But I will be picking the parters. Also, the person you are paired with, will be your parter for the rest of the school year."
A few groans came from behind Pansy and I.
"Now," Snape said, grabbing a piece of parchment, "the parters will be as follows: Pansy Parkinson and Gregory Goyle." Pansy groaned, stood up and walked over the Goyle.
Snape continued, "Hermione Granger and Ronald Weasley. Harry Potter and Vincent Crabbe. Helen Granger and Draco Malfoy."
I sighed, and stood up to sit with Malfoy. Hermione shot me a worried look. I smiled and sat down.
"Well well well." Malfoy snickered, "it appears as if we're going to be seeing each other a lot." He smirked and pulled out his potions book.
I groaned, "don't remind me!"
"What's the matter Granger? Not looking forward to our tutoring session later?" Malfoy teased.
"Let's just do the work okay?" I said, opening my potions book.

After class, Snape handed me and Malfoy a small slip of paper. "9:00 o'clock sharp" he said, then turned away.
I briskly walked away, hoping not to spend anymore time with Malfoy. I sat down at Hufflepuff table and ate food. No one tried to talk to me, as usual. After dessert, I went down to the Hufflepuff common room, and into my dorm. I took off my uniform, and pulled on a purple sweater. I brushed my long, curly, brown hair, and toyed with idea of makeup. I was about to apply some mascara, when I caught myself. What am I doing?! I thought. I'm going to study, I don't need to look presentable! I put down the mascara and checked the time. 8:15. I left the Hufflepuff common room, and started walking to the potions classroom.

I luckily didn't run into Filch on the way, so I was in a pretty good mood when I arrived. I opened the door to see Snape and Malfoy.
"Someone's excited to see me." Malfoy said smirking, "it's five minutes before we start!"
"First of all, I'm trying to be earlier this year. Second of all, you're here before me, so does that mean that you're excited to see me?" I asked.
Malfoy scoffed.
"Now you two, be nice." Snape said, "I'm going to leave. I expect you two to be done before midnight." Snape left the classroom, and I was alone with Malfoy.
"Well don't just stand there! Sit down." Malfoy said, gesturing to the chair next to him. I sat down. He started by asking me the ingredients to different potions. Afterwards, he checked his notes, and I couldn't help but notice how different he looked from last year. Even though I never interacted with him, I could still noticed a difference. His hair was no longer slicked back, letting it fall carelessly over his forehead. And his jaw was sharper. His grey eyes were carefully studying his notes. He was really handsome. I felt my cheeks become pink from the realization.

Draco
I could feel Helen's eyes studying me. I could barely focus on the notes I was reading. Helen was really bad a potions, so I had to change up what I was doing. I slid a piece of parchment to her, "here, this will help you re-learn the basics." I said. She nodded and took the paper.
"You can do that while I make a plan for the next few weeks." I said. She nodded again and started working. I couldn't help but stare at her. She was absolutely beautiful. Her curly brown hair falling perfectly around her face. I felt like I could get lost in her beautiful deep brown eyes. Her cheeks had a slight blush to them, and her pink lips were slightly moving as she read the instructions. No Draco. You can't have a crush on a mudblood! I thought. I shook my head looking back at my notes, trying to focus on making a plan. I couldn't believe that she hadn't asked me about the letter that I sent her. Surely the wasn't stupid enough to not figure out that it was me. I sighed, knowing full well that she definitely could be.
"Are you okay Malfoy?" Helen asked.
I nodded, "yeah. I'm okay."
She smiled, and went back to her work.
A few minutes later she handed me her paper.
"I finished!"
"Alright. It's pretty late, so I suggest we end it here." I said.
She nodded, and turned to leave.
"I'll walk you back to your dorm." I said, catching up with her
We walked together towards the the kitchen, talking occasionally.
"Hey Malfoy." She said.
"Yes Granger?"
"I was wondering if you knew anyone with the initials D.M. I keep getting letters from them."
"Well obviously me." I joked, "but other then me, no."
"Did you send them?" Helen asked.
"What do think?" I asked, stopping.
She sighed, also stopping, "I don't know..."
"Well, I'm sure you'll figure it out." I said reassuringly. It took every fibre in my being to not scream: YOU STUPID GIRL! IT'S ME! I'M SENDING YOU THE LETTERS!
We stood in the empty hall together in silence. I could hear rain coming from outside.
"Helen..." I said.
"Did you just calk me Helen?!" She asked, shocked.
I smirked, "why not? I feel like we know each other well enough."
"We'll in that case, what is it Draco?" She said, leaning against the wall next to me.
I liked hearing my name from her lips.
"Does your sister now about me tutoring you?" I asked.
She shook her head. "She already doesn't like that Pansy and I are friends, plus us being partners in potions is an added bonus. So I doubt I'll tell her for a while."
I nodded slowly, "I'm surprised I'm not dead yet."
She laughed. Gosh it was a beautiful laugh.
"You know, what I said the other day is true. You really do have a cute laugh."
Helen's face turned red, "t-thanks" she stuttered.
I smiled, "anytime."

A/n
I think they're so cute!
Once again, if it's too fast just let me know!
Also, I need story line ideas for future years. I have the Draco moments planned, (that's the easy part) but I'm struggling to come up with story and plot ideas. <3
