Chapter Eleven: Emmeranne

I was rushing my way to Herbology with Leandra when I bumped into Draco. Books went flying everywhere. Then Leandra grabbed her hair in frustration.

"Watch where you're going Malfoy", she shrieked at Draco.

I was going to yell at her for screaming at him, but then I remembered that I'm supposed to not care about Draco.

"Watch where you're going, you filthy half-blood", Draco spat back.

I don't know whether I said this because I was I got mad because no one ever insults Leandra on my watch or because I needed to play along. But I yelled, "Maybe you should where you're going instead of wasting space and oxygen!"

Draco had clearly taken it seriously. Then he just just started to walk away.

I turned around to look at him and he nodded his head towards an empty classroom. I nodded and turned to face Leandra.

Leandra had already started to walk without me. I catch up to her.

"You are really harsh", Leandra said amusingly.

That only made me feel bad about what I said. I always seem mess up my own chance at being happy.

"I need to go to the bathroom", I say, "I'll meet you at Herbology".

Leandra catches my arm.

"Let me go with you" she smiles.

"That's not necessary", I half say, half huff as I break away.

"Alright", Leandra says, and walks away.

I turn a corner and wait until she completely disappears before I enter the empty classroom.

I close the door and see Draco. He has his arms crossed and has a frown on his face.

I run up to him and say," I'm sorry about what I said outside, I didn't mean it, I was just trying to make it seem-"

"It's okay", he whispers.

"No", I say. "It's not"

We stay quiet for a few seconds, then he talks.

"So, how have you been", he asks as he brushes the back of his hand against my cheek.

"Fine", I reply. It has been two or three days since we haven't been alone together, so I was appreciating the ten minutes we have right now alone.

I lean in to kiss him, but he reaches my lips first. We kiss until I started to get out of breath and pull away for a while, then we start kissing again.

He wrapped his arms around my waist. I smile a little until I notice that the time had flown by.

I pull away and pull on my bag.

"Sorry Draco, but I have to leave, we have a class", I say quickly.

He quickly jumps of the desk he was sitting on. He looked kind of disappointed.

"Wednesday. In this classroom", he says as he opens the door for me.

I nod and smile. Then I quickly get out. As I was running through the halls, I bumped into my father.

"What are you doing in the hallways when class already started five minutes ago", he asks sternly.

"I had to go to the bathroom father, and I lost track of time", I say quickly.

"Try to get to class on time", my father says as he walks off.

"Okay", I yell after him.

I hope he didn't see me come out the empty classroom.
