Draco POV

After a long day of classes, I decide to ditch the common room because Blaise and Pansy are in there.

I have 2 options.

Library or Astronomy Tower.

Granger is probably in the Library so I head up to the Astronomy Tower.

It's not long before I hear footsteps coming up here as well.

Oh great.

I turn around and see a Hufflepuff girl with blonde hair, fair skin and hazelish eyes. First year I guess?

"Hi." She smiles and continues her walk to me of the many rails and looks out at the large view before her, just as I've done many many times.

Just as I've pulled out a good book and flipped to the page, she turns and looks at me.

"What's your name?"

I'm slightly taken aback by the unexpected question so it takes a split second for me to answer back.

"Draco Malfoy. 8th year Slytheri-"

"Yeah no I just asked for your name child." She raises her eyebrow slightly.

"Ok?"

"I'm Emily Brett."

"Hi?"

"What are you doing here."

"I'm trying to read my book."

"Oh. What are you reading?"

I lift up the book to show her.

"I love Hunger Games." She starts smiling widely at me and I have no clue what to do.

She ties up her hair in the neatest ponytail ever, without even fricking trying I swear.

So I nod, then lower my head to read some more
I continue to read Hunger Games. I found the book in one of many shelves in the Athena cabin years ago and never got to the point where I wanted to read it.

Sadly, I only get to read about 20 pages before there's loud footsteps coming up the stairs.

Sighing, I look up to see that Emily had gone and a tall brunette is standing at the top of the stairs.

"Oh it's you." Her face drops and she rolls her eyes.

I lower my eyes slightly to see her wearing her robes of course, but also she's sewn on a small Italian flag badge on her right sleeve.

"Why did you sew that on." I gesture to the flag of green, white and red and the Hufflepuff rolls her eyes.

"Well I'm Italian so like," she says it as if it explains everything in the world.

"Ok..." I try and read again when I remember something.

"Hang on if you're from Italy then why don't you carry pasta around like Italians?" I smirk, hoping I poked at a nerve of some sort but she just sticks a hand into her pocket.

Then she pulls out pieces of penne and fusili.

"But I do."

I don't know how to answer to that so I keep quiet. Hoping she doesn't do anything, but she smirks.

I internally groan.

"Is that Hunger Games youre reading?" She pull the book out of my hands before I can protest.

"Yeah it is, what about it."

"I love this book so much it's so good what are you up to?"

"Katniss just allied with Rue." She smiles brighter, her eye twitching slightly.

"Oh...that's a good part."

"Why? Does Rue betray her?" No

"No, NO." She assures me, shaking her head, hair flying into her face before she blows it away.

"Good."

"Anyways gotta go." She turns on her heel and walks down the stairs.

"Bye." I call out halfheartedly

It's only until 2 minutes later that I remember Ive forgotten her last name.
