As I sat down opposite of Ginny by the Gryffindor table she handed me two 5 galleons. I narrowed my eyebrows in confusion.
"I walked by the hospital wing several times today to see if Malfoy was there with a swollen tounge," she sighed and shook her hand slightly for me to take them.
"Just keep them," I smiled. She looked at me before she shrugged.
"Fine," she said and put them back in her bag. "You excited for the quidditch match?"
"Who isn't?" I laughed slightly before taking an apple placed in the bowl in the middle of Ginny and I. "Everyone likes quidditch," I said.
"So classy," Ginny said since I was talking with food in my mouth and it kind of went all over the place. "Wonder why you're single!" She chuckled slightly. I was about to respond with a snarky comment on how she wasn't really seeing anyone either, but then I remembered boys were basically swarming around her.
"Well then my plan is working!" I said and played along.
"Oh please! Kendall, you need to get a boyfriend or girlfriend, whatever you prefer, soon!"
"What?" I chuckled and took another bite of my apple. "Where is all of this coming from?"
"You'd do good if you got some!"
"I don't have the slightest idea where all of this is coming from, but I know that I'm doing fine by myself. Enjoying it, actually!" I raised my shoulders to bring my message through.
"Can I set you up with someone?" She said and leaned in closer to me.
"Set me up with some- No!" I was starting to get annoyed. Where Ginny was getting this thoughts from bugged me. Did she and her other friends talk about me behind my back saying I needed a boyfriend?
"Great," she said and before I could respond, she had left me alone. There was no reason for me to sit there, so I left, headed for the library. I didn't feel like being in my common room surrounded by people who didn't like me.
I walked around a corner. And once again I walked straight into somebody's arms. I looked up to see it was Malfoy.
"Aren't we just the biggest cliche?" He asked with small smile on his face as he helped me out of his grip and steady on my feet again.
"I'm sorry. I need to learn to pay more attention to where I'm going," I tried to let out a little chuckle, but it only seemed forced. I shook my head slightly and was brought back to reality. "I gotta go," I said and was about to walk past him when he asked me a question.
"Where are you headed?"
"Library," I answered.
"Mind if I tag along?"
"Well, I don't see why you'd want to but I guess." My voice was just a little bit shaky. We started to walk to the library and I felt myself getting nervous. When he asked me to meet up with him in Hogsmeade I was quick to judge him, that he didn't want to be seen in public with me. But here I was, almost shaking, scared if someone would walk into us and see us. I wasn't alone in being nervous. I saw Malfoy looking up and around him every once in a while.
"Don't you have better things to do? Like burn some books or... Harass some first years?" My voice felt a little bit shaky, but he probably didn't notice.
"I do other things than burn books and bug first years you know," he said as he turned to look behind him.
"Doesn't seem like it," I started to nervously fiddle with my own fingers.
"Didn't we have that conversation where we concluded I have other interests than being an arse?"
"Not really," I said and looked up at him to see him looking straight ahead. We were both silent for the rest of the way to the library. Once we reached it, we both subtly snuck in. It was like neither of us wanted the other to think we didn't want to be seen together. We found a table and sat down opposite of each other in complete and utter silence.
For a long while we didn't say anything. None of us dared to. But out of the blue he started to ask questions about me.
"You got any siblings?" The questions was kind of a surprise but I answered. I answered every question, and ended up with asking 'What about you?'. Quickly, we came to learn a lot about each other.
