Wicked hearts

chapter five

By 7:45 we were both nearly ready to leave, me in my navy blue minidress and her in black. I still could not believe that I was being made to go to a party i definitely was not invited to.

'I'm just going to write a letter to my parents quickly, I have something important to tell them' I said to April, who was finishing off her messy bun.

'yeah okay, I should be done in a minute anyway'

I sat on my desk and pulled out a quill and parchment paper, ready to catch them up on all of the stuff they've been missing.

'Dear mom and dad,

I hope you're okay. I'm really enjoying Hogwarts at the moment, I even went on a date on Saturday with Harry to one of your old favourite places, Hogsmeade and I think it went really well. He bought me a beautiful bouquet of roses.

Whilst I was writing, I thought I ought to ask you a question- I recently met a guy named Lucius Malfoy whilst I was at the train station and after I introduced myself, he asked me if I knew a man named Mavros Moonryn but I have no idea who he is. I was just wondering if you had any ideas?

I must be going now, I love you so much.

Yours sincerely, Aster'.

I placed my letter in an envelope and gave it to my owl to send off.

'Are you ready to leave now? Party's starting' April stated, heading to the door. I got up and walked to her, 'Yes come on, let's get this over with'.

~~~

The common room was rather busy, with some boys at the door deciding whether or not students would be allowed in. April got us in easy, I was very surprised I got through though. Loud music was playing and the new Slytherin quidditch team were the centre of attention. I was not surprised to see Malfoy there, holding a drink whilst talking to two girls. He was wearing a black suit and his bleach blonde hair fell over his forehead as usual. I couldn't help but get butterflies swarming my stomach at the sight of him. He looked incredible. I tried so hard to look away, to think about anyone else, but my eyes would not leave him.

'i'll be back!' April shouted, running off to see her boyfriend.

After a few moments, his gaze turned to mine, looking very surprised to see me here, he made his way over, taking a chug of his drink.

'Moonryn, what a surprise, came here to stare at me?' he asked in a mocking tone.

'you wish, I actually got dragged here by my friend'. He turned his head a little before looking back, 'You came with Zabini's girl hm? If that's so, why have you been staring at me since the moment you came through the door?'

I crossed my arms, 'Gosh do you notice everything?', he took another sip and a smirk formed on his face, 'well you don't exactly make it hard. Anyways, would your little boyfriend Potter approve of you gawping at me?'

I rolled my eyes and tried to add a little confidence to my voice, 'firstly, bold of you to assume we're dating, and secondly, what has it got to do with you?!'

Amusement filled his eyes, its like he enjoyed making me aggrivated. Sometimes I wish I could slap him.

'what's up Draco?' I heard an unfamiliar voice speak and turned to find April with her arms around Zabini. He also wore a black suit and his neck was covered in lipstick stains, we all know who from.

He glanced at me and walked a little closer, taking his arm from around April 'You must be Aster, Aprils told me all about you. It's nice to meet you'. He smiled and held out his hand for me to shake, to which I did.
