"You guys go. I think I'm going to sit a little bit longer," I said as Ginny and Luna got up from their seats to leave.
"Okay, I'll see you tomorrow,"Ginny said as she yawned.
"Goodnight Kendall," Luna said and waved at me quickly before they left me alone by the table in-between the shelves in the library.
It was only 22.00, but I was about to fall asleep right there. The uncomfortable silence didn't exactly help me stay awake. Never had I ever come across silence like this. There was no wind or birds like outside, no creaking in the floorboards because the castle was old. Just my own breathing and the pages turning every now and then.
I was completely alone. The librarian had left, even. That was why when I heard a footstep, I seriously thought I was going to die. It could honestly be anyone, because it was still some time until curfew, but that didn't help me avoid a possible heart attack.
It sounded as if the footsteps came closer. I felt my heard beat faster inside my chest. "H-hello?" I managed to force out of me. The footsteps stopped. "I know I'm not alone," I said before I swallowed the lump in my throat. One of the person's feet came into sight. The rest of the person was still hiding behind the shelf. Another step, and another one and the person's identity was revealed. "What are you doing here?" I asked sounding awfully rude.
"Did I scare you?" Draco said with a cruel smile plastered on his face.
"Yes, you did actually. Have you never heard not to sneak up on a girl in the middle of the night?" I asked.
"It's 10," he said and made it sound like I was awfully stupid.
"Can I get an answer to my question?" I asked changing the subject.
"Don't you want me here?" He said and stepped closer to the table I was sitting by.
"No one wants you around, Malfoy!"
"Now you're just being mean!"
"That makes two of us," I said and squinted my eyes and tilted my head slightly to the right. He made is way opposite of me and sat down on the chair placed directly in front of my on the other side of the table. I changed my position and leaned back in my chair, staying as far away from his as possible. "Wanna stop avoiding my question?" I said and folded my arms over my chest.
"I got just as much right to be here as you do," he said and raised his right eyebrow looking rather cheeky. But this time, there was no sarcastic smirk to find.
"I know, but I'd appriciate you sitting by another table, because you're distracting me!" I said and gestured to my books.
"Is it my looks that distract you?" And the smirk was back.
"Yeah, you look like a real brat, and I hadn't planned spending my evening looking at it."
"You know people say you're stone cold," he said and leaned back in his own chair. If he was trying to get me mad, he was on the right path.
"It's nothing compared to what they say about you," I said and narrowed my eyebrows even more.
"But what people say about you isn't true." I was about to hit him with another rude remark, but then my brain actually registered what he had just said.
"What?"
"You aren't stone cold," he said simply and shrugged slightly. I didn't say anything. I just stared at him with my eyes wide open and mouth hanging slightly open. "You just don't go from the kindest young girl to a rude one over one summer," he contiuned to explain.
