The Great Hall was filled with the laughter and the chatter of the people taking breakfast.
I was having breakfast too, along with Hermione, Harry and Ron, sitting on the Gryffindor table.
"Do you know anyone from Beauxbatons who's going to come tonight?" asked Ron.
"I don't know who's going to come, but I'm pretty sure they'll know of me" I answered looking at him with a disappointed look.
"Don't panic Alex! We won't let anyone hurt you and you know it!" said Harry while patting my head.
"Thank you for the support guys!" I said smiling.
They all smiled, except for Hermione, who seemed to be focused on something.
"Hermione, what are you looking at?" asked Ron.
Hermione looked at Ron confused and then turned to me and Harry.
"Don't you think Malfoy is acting weird today?" she said, staring over at the Slytherin table.
"I mean... he isn't speaking to anyone right now and when we saw him earlier he didn't say anything....he even stopped Crabbe and Goyle from saying something..." she continued.
'She is right... He is acting suspiciously...but I know why he is...it's because of what I told him...I wonder if he's told anyone'
"You are right! I noticed too..." I said, trying to hide the truth...
"I'm going to try and find out what happened from Snape when I get to his office" I suggested so that they would change the subject.
"Don't ask too many suspicious questions or he'll find out," said Harry.
"I know what to ask," I answered calmly and focused.
"This pie is so bloody delicious!!" announced Ron with his mouth full of food.
"Heyy don't eat it all Ron!" shouted Hermione and cut a piece for herself.
'Thanks Ron! He changed the subject'
"Guys...I'm going to Snape's office, I will see you later" I said standing up.
"This early?" asked Hermione.
"Yeah, just in case I get lost on the way again..."I lied.
What I really wanted to do was talk to Draco.
So as soon as he left the Great Hall, I excused myself and followed him to the dungeons.
***
I was running in the dark hallways of the dungeons, trying to find the Slytherins when I heard a girl's voice speaking.
"What's wrong with you today Draco? You don't talk much" said the girl.
She was Pansy Parkinson. She was along with Draco, Crabbe and Goyle and they were walking towards the Slytherin common room.
"I'm not feeling really well," he answered in a tired tone.
"Do you think maybe the Gryffindors put a hex on him?" asked Pansy, looking at Crabbe and Goyle.
"Now that you mentioned it... the Mudblood was looking at him during breakfast..." said Crabbe.
"But he hasn't met with any of them lately...they couldn't have put a hex on him..."said Goyle.
"Oh...but he has..." she said in a mysterious tone.
"He met with the new Gryffindor girl yesterday...maybe she did...I heard she was expelled from Beauxbatons..."she said.
