The Potterhead (Draco Malfoy x OC)

Ch-33 | unusual

October 8, 1994, Saturday.

Nora's POV

The school was being prepared to look more presentable for the other schools which would arrive at the end of the month.

The teachers and other staffs were all busy with that work, which meant we got less assignments. Yay.

I've completed all the assignments yesterday night so that I'd get time to relax.

The September rain had been reduced and the autumn breeze had increased.

I wrapped my arms around my waist to protect myself from the cold breeze. I sat down on a bench near the dark lake and looked at the sunset.

I was on my own today. The others had assignments and studying work to do. And I thought a walk by myself would be nice.

I sighed with contentment. My life had changed a lot over the past few months. In the best ways possible.

But there was only one thing bothering me now. An uneasy feeling had been haunting me for the past few weeks.

Neither my parents nor my sister knew about my relationship with Draco yet. Lindsey was not my main problem. I can convince her after a small argument.

But what bothered me was my parents. I don't really know how my dad would react, but my mom. God, she'd go crazy if she come to know about her 14-year-old daughter's love life.

My mother wanted to raise me and my sister the same way her asian parents raised her. That's the only thing I hate about my Asian roots.

And my parents were a 'bit prejudiced. For some reason they were okay with Lindsey and Edward's relationship. [ :|thatsalie- ]

Well I didn't have to face that problem. But I'm so damn sure they won't want me to be in a relationship for at least the next three years.

I planned on visiting Hogsmead tomorrow to break the news to my sister. I hadn't visited the place since September.

I looked at my phone screen. It was 18:30 already. I had been sitting here for a long time.

I stood up and pulled my coat tighter around me and strode towards the castle.

I walked to the stairs to go to my dorm, or I could hang out with the girls.

"Uno!" I exclaimed right when Ainsley was about to say 'penalty'. I had been playing without saying UNO for a while and surprisingly nobody noticed. Until Ainsley did and I realized.

"Damn it" Theo cursed. Luck didn't graze him with it's presence today. He'd been pulling up cards out of the bundle none stop.

I gulped down rest of the coke in my glass and waited patiently for my turn. If anyone dropped a blue card or a no.6 card, I'd win.

Iris was sitting on my right. And her turn came.

"Fuck" I muttered and took a card from the bundle. My frown turned upside-down when I saw a wildcard.

Draco dropped a +4 card and changed the color to red. Theo and Serene dropped +2 red card; Ainsley dropped a yellow one.

And poor Carla was the one who had to draw up 10 cards. "Oh man. I was about to win"

Then Iris dropped a yellow card of 7 and I dropped both my cards, "Color changes to blue and I won" I grinned.

"You should teach him how to play the game. He gets dumb when it comes to this game" Theo sniggered and dropped a card. "At least I'm not a coward when it comes to confessing my feelings Nott" Draco retorted.
