Simply Annoying//// Dramione

Chapter 4

Harry immediately apologized, as i did.  It had hurt me, to not be able to talk to my best friend.  As soon as we hugged, i told him and Ron everything Professor Cairns had told me.  Their reactions were what i thought they would be.  

"But she can't do that!" Ron complained.  I smiled.

"She's the teacher Ronald," i laughed.  He shrugged.  Ron complaining reminded me of our earlier years, when Professor McGonagall would do things and Ron would complain.   I wrapped my arm around him, going on my toes a bit.  Ron laughed, a kissed my cheek.  Except, this time, my cheek didn't burn.  

I started spending time in the library more often.  I just watched everyone, looking for the right person to help.  Every time i spotted someone, a friend would come over and they would just be together, or a big group of people.  I sighed as i turned the page of Paint.  All of a sudden, someone hit the table, and i jumped.

"That's my book," i heard a growl.  I looked up, at the red face of Draco Malfoy.  A small frown appeared over my face.  

"Who said its yours?" i asked, putting my bookmark in and closing the book.  He looked down at the book and closed his eyes.  He opened them and looked right into mine.  Again, the beauty of his grey eyes surprised me.  They were so pretty...

"I... i just... Ugh.  Okay, i rented out this book at the beginning of the year, and as you know, no one likes me.  That was the only book that has been keeping me going, as i read it.  But someone stole it, that's why you found me flinging books a few weeks ago.  Its the only thing..." he muttered, reaching for the book.  I pulled it back, still frowning.

"Who said i was going to give it back to you?" i snapped.  He looked lost.  He stood up, and  stumbled over to the next table.  He sat down and put his head down and into his arms.  I sighed.  Packing up my stuff, i sat down at the table he was sitting.  Miserably, he looked up.  One tear slid down his cheek.  He looked around, as no one was in here.  Then, it hit me.  Here, Malfoy was sitting in front of me.  Miserable.   He was always strutting around this school.  I had found my project.  I was going to help Draco Malfoy.  He sat there, crying.  I had to get close to him, get into his feelings.  Know more about him... Well.  I was going to have to form a plan.

"I can help, you know?" i asked, kindly.  He just stared at me.

"Go away..."

I pulled out my journal and quill.  It was 12am and i was wide awake.  I grabbed my wand, and went underneath my covers.

"Lumos..." i muttered.  The tip of my wand lit up and i set it down, starting to write.  First, how was i going to get close to Malfoy?  Well... Christmas break is coming up.  I know Ron is going back to the Burrow, and i have a feeling Harry will want to come along.  If Ron goes, Harry goes, and if Harry goes then Ginny goes.  I need time alone with Malfoy.  The only way he will open up is if Harry and Ron aren't in the castle.  I could tell Ron that i need to study for NEWTS.   For he will understand, and that i have a lot to catch up on?  Maybe i could mention the project, since i wouldn't be lying then.  I jotted down everything in my journal.   I nodded, as i thought of other ways.  If i can get Ron and Harry out, then i would have to just find my way to always be in the same place as him.  Hogsmead, the library maybe?  I have no idea where he stays, i scribbled down random places.  Corridors.  Then i realized, what about Pansy?  Frick, i thought hitting my head with my quill.  We will find out tomorrow, i thought, closing my journal.

"-Draco you have to!"

"I have no where to go Pans.  No."
