The slytherin prince and the Quiet Gryffindor

Chapter 8

First verbal contact :)))) sorry for the slow updates if there's still anyone reading
*******Draco's POV********
I walked into the library I wanted some quiet, some time where people aren't burning holes into me with their judging eyes. No one expects me to be in the library, so hopefully I won't be bothered. I was about to walk to the back when I heard a familiar voice.
"Thanks for letting me copy your notes Elizabeth, I was running pretty late today I missed half of potions," I hear Crabb say. That's odd I didn't think Crabb even knew where the library was, then again I also didn't expect him to end up in Ravenclaw, maybe I need to stop doubting him. Elizabeth, that name sounded familiar, I shouldn't care but for some reason I followed their voices and catch sight of the same fiery hair. That girl just seems to keep popping up. A Gryffindor and Slytherin sitting side-by-side sharing notes, the war really has changed things. For some reason it bothered me to see them so chummy, but I brushed the thought aside and continued to the back of the library. Draco Malfoy doesn't care about Gryffindors.

I hadn't realized the time going by until it was already dark. I decided it was time to head to bed, although I don't look forward to another restless night. I don't know maybe this time will be different, maybe it will be like last night. I got half way to the common room when I realized that, lost in thought, I was heading for the Slytherin common room not the Gryffindor common room. It was going to take some getting used to, walking there. I walked in and noticed the ever constant fire burning bright in the fireplace. I almost didn't notice the fiery redhead sitting in one of the arm chairs.

"What are you doing here Stilth?" I snapped keeping up my Slytherin persona.

"What is with you Slytherins," she snapped back setting her book to the side," thinking that you own everything? It's called a COMMON room for a reason it's for everyone not just you." With that she turned back to her book. I stood there a bit shocked. I hadn't expected that from her. She always seemed to quiet, not that I was paying attention. Realizing that I was still standing there I moved towards my room, as I closed the door I swore I heard a quiet "sweet dreams Draco."
