Purely Mudblood (Dramione FanFic)

Singing in the Corridors

"Draco's off to meet his girlfriend! Draco's off to meet his girlfriend! Draco's off to meet his girlfriend! Draco's off to meet his girlfriend!"

Draco laughed merrily beside the skipping little girl as she sang her song loudly and out-of-key. Cammie had warned Draco on many occasions that she was a terrible singer, but she loved to do it, so Draco allowed her to sing to her heart's content. 

"I told you, she's not officially my girlfriend!" Draco ruffled Cammie's chin length hair and it frizzed up as if she'd been shocked with an electrifying spell. Draco laughed again at her hair and attempted to smooth it down.

"But she will be after todaaaaay!" Cammie sang. After Draco finished with his hair-adjusting, Cammie went back to skipping and chanting and even began to twirl down the hallway. 

"Just because I'm asking her to be my girlfriend doesn't mean she'll say yes." 

"Yes she will!" Cammie stopped dead in her tracks and turned to Draco. "She has to say yes!!!! Draco, she's gonna say yes! She has no other option!" She stamped her foot at the first syllable of the last word. 

"And how do you figure that?" Draco asked, allowing Cammie to climb on his back. He grabbed the underside of her knees as she wrapped one arm around Draco's neck. She prodded at his cheek with her tiny fingers as she said, "You see, girls aren't an exact science." Draco had to chuckle at this, because she said things like that when she was about to ramble off into her own little world, one in which she talks and talks but never shuts up, all without realizing it. "But, as far as I can figure, girls like handsome guys, am I correct?"

"You are correct, Professor Cammie."

"Well, girls like guys who are handsome. So they must go nuts over really handsome guys. And you, Draco, are really, really handsome. So, if your girl-- almost girlfriend is like every other girl on this planet, she just has to say yes, because girls, as we previously discussed, like handsome guys, and she's a girl. So BOOM! She has no other option but to say yes because you're really, really handsome and she's a girl." Cammie was now talking at top speed, her mouth never pausing as she babbled on about the science behind relationships. Draco laughed aloud.

"Your girlfriend is really pretty though." Cammie paused from probing Draco's cheek.

Draco sighed a deep, satisfied sigh. "She is."

Cammie began to bounce up and down whilst on Draco's back. "You said she was your girlfriend! You said she was your girlfriend!" Cammie restarted her previous song, only to a slightly different beat so that the words fit properly. Draco chuckled for the umpteenth time in their brief walk. 

"And you know what, Cammie?"

"What?"

Draco felt a devious grin sneak up onto his face as he said this. "I snogged her!"

"EW!" Cammie squealed. She removed her hands from Draco's neck and swatted in front of her face, as if trying to rid herself of a pesky fly, as she continued to chant, "EW! EW! EW!"

"And you know what else?" In a smooth motion, Draco leaned over and spun Cammie to his front, so the pair were face to face, and Cammie's legs rested comfortably on Draco's hips.

"I'm afraid to ask."

Draco yelled at the top of his lungs, "I LIKED IT!" Cammie shrieked at first with disgust, but then with laughter, as Draco fastened one arm around the child and used the fingers on the other to tickle her. Draco picked up a chant of his own. "I LIKED IT! I LIKED IT! I SNOGGED HERMIONE GRANGER AND I LIKED IT!"

And then he saw who was standing at the end of the corridor.
