iii. following around

Maryse had started to follow Draco around wherever he goes. And on their break time, she followed him when he was heading towards the library. She hugged her potions book on her chest and covered the half of her face with it. She kept a good amount of distance away from him as so people won't notice her motive.

Upon their arrival inside the library, Maryse had picked up a random book on the shelf and pretended that she was reading, but in fact, she would steal glances at the man who makes her heart beat wild inside her chest.

So when Draco moved and went to another shelf, Maryse moved to that shelf again.

She kept following him around until Draco started noticing that she was following him.

He didn't know why but what caught his attention about her was her bright red hair. It reminded him of blood. He shook his head.

He shouldn't be thinking about those here.

He had noticed that wherever he went, she was there as well. Is she stupid?

But as he moved again towards another shelf and tried to pick up a book, his hand touched a feminine hand.

Hers.

He stared at her and she stared back at him. He found it unusual but captivating how her eyes were purple. He didn't know eye colors like that existed.

He cleared his throat and moved his hand away and left.

But as he left, he sensed the feeling of being followed. He knew it would be her again. His next destination was the room of requirement. But the girl showed no sign of stopping.

"Could you bloody stop following me? It's annoying me out." He spat. The girl's eyes widened and only blinked at him. She didn't say anything. So when Draco turned his back again and started walking, he heard her footsteps on the floor.

She's a hard one.

He letted out a sigh and stopped on his tracks. Turned around and faced the girl who had kept on following him.

"Are you stupid?" He asked her.

She blinked at him.

"I asked you a question." He told her.

She blinked once more.

"Are you going to answer me or not?" He spat at her.

She blinked twice.

"Just bloody get the hell away from me." He told her and started to walk away from her quickly.

Maryse frowned. Her shoulders dropped. And her heart beated badly on her chest.

She doesn't even have much of a life to live yet warming this person up to her would be a difficult one.

"Where have you been Maryse? I've been looking all over for you." Hermione said. She was being accompanied by Harry and Ron. Maryse showed no sign of enthusiasm at them.

"What's wrong?" Hermione asked.

Maryse shook her head. She just wanted dinner to quickly come in. Following him around all day tired her out.

"Anyway, quidditch tryouts are this weekend. You should come with me and watch it." Hermioned invited her. Maryse nodded and smiled a little at her.

She slowly turned her back and tried to look at him. But all she saw was bloody Pansy Parkinson resting her head on his shoulder. Her heart gave another bad beat. Maryse frowned. How in the world would she ever make him fall for her? Would she have to die first before he realizes he needed her?
