"Can I Slytherin?" - A Draco Malfoy Fanfiction

Chapter 7 - "I see through your lies"

HEY HEY HEY So next chapter or the one after that we're gonna shake things up a bit. 

I know, crazy, right? Because I'm so wild, sitting at home on Wattpad... yeah... ಠ_ಠ 

After heading down to breakfast, Betty and Draco go to their first lesson together, Potions. 

"We have to avoid Ruby, because I know what she'll be like if she sees us together," Betty says, scanning the crowds of people in front of them as they made their way to the classroom.

"What will she be like?" Draco teases, smiling broadly. He nudges Betty in the side when she refuses to reply.

"Draco," Betty hisses, squirming from his touch, "Can't you just shut up for once, please?"

Draco laughs and continues to poke her in the side. "Watcha gonna do, Betty? Watcha gonna do?"

Betty rolls her eyes and pushes through the students, and into the potions classroom, with Draco following closely behind. She tries to avoid her friends, ducking behind various students and their cauldrons, but as she's approaching her seat, she accidently makes eye contact with Ruby from across the classroom. Ruby smiles and hops off of her seat, striding towards her.

"Oh look, there's Ruby," Draco says suddenly, appearing at Betty's side, who brings a hand to her face. 

"So it's you two together again," Ruby smiles, "Fancy that, eh?" 

Just as she's about to reply, Alex, Aine and Jess join them.

"Introduce me to your friends, Betty," Draco says, giving each of them one of his signature smirks. Betty rolls her eyes.

"They can introduce themselves," Betty mutters under her breath, but Ruby manages to hear her.

"Don't be rude, Betty. Is she always this rude around you, Draco?" Ruby says, raising an eyebrow. Draco laughs. "Well..."

"So, on with the introductions!" Betty interrupts swiftly, "This is Ruby. Let's just say that... she has some kinks with reality, if you know what I mean."

"I know Ruby already, stupid," Draco says, "She's cool. But get on with the others already."

"Alright, alright," Betty exclaims, gesturing to the left of Ruby, "That's Alex. She's funny... and is a proud nerd... and lover of any kind of nerdy muggle show." 

Draco nods and raises one eyebrow, and Alex gives him a hesitant wave. She may seem quiet at first, but really, she's one of the craziest of the group.

"Here's Aine," Betty grins, "You know Aine, the one who can't keep her broom under control, but actually is,  surprisingly, intellegent." 

"Surprisingly?" Aine remarks, "Oh, so you're surprised, are you? Well-"

Betty interrupts her. "I also forgot to mention that she's very sarcastic. And don't let that lead you to thinking that she's blunt, 'cause she's most definitely not. Now, moving on to Jess..." 

"Is she the one that doesn't like me?" Draco cuts in, his brow furrowed. Betty turns to Jessica, who shrugs with a small smile. She opens her mouth to say something, but is stopped when Professor Snape walks swiftly into the room, ordering everyone to their desks. 

Betty hurries over to her seat, with Draco behind her, unpacking her books and quickly turning to face Professor Snape. From what she had heard, he definitely wasn't a teacher to mess with.

Draco sits down beside her and leisurely unpacks his books.

"Can't you go and sit somewhere else?"  Betty hisses, and Draco raises a finger teasingly to his lips in response.
