It was about half 9 in the morning, the hour I had dreaded for days. Defense against the dark arts class. Professor Snape had assigned me Draco Malfoy as a partner for a research project on a creature of our choice (as long as another group didn't chose it first). I had just walked out of muggle world history and headed to D.A.T.D.A class frankly very nervous because Malfoy and I never got on. I got to class and there he was sitting rather lazily at a desk with he seat next to him empty he seemed a bit off today though. He seemed bothered by something but what it was I didn't know. I hastily walked over to him and tapped his shoulder to get his attention. He then lifted his head from his left hand to look up at me. "Can I sit here?" I said looking into his grey eyes. He only nodded in response. He seemed rather enjoyable when he wasn't boasting about how great he is. He was a very attractive boy but he was always so rude. Soon enough Snape had instructed us to begin our group work and come up to him to say which creature we were researching. Almost immediately afterward Malfoy sat up and looked over at me.
"What creature do you want to research?" He said in a slightly quiet tone. I shrugged as I glanced down at my parchment with the choices on it then looked back up at him. He then sighed and moved over a bit to look at it as well. I glanced at him wondering why he didn't look at his own piece of parchment. Then I remembered that there was only one. We met eyes for a second or two then we both looked back at the parchment. After a few seconds of silence I spoke. "How about we research Thunderbirds?" It seemed like he took a moment to think then he nodded.
"That's fine to me." He said looking up from the paper only to meet eyes with me and then look away. "Why don't we meet in the library a few nights this week to research?"I nodded.
"How about Wednesday through Friday?" I said taping the desk to get his attention which seemed to be else where. He met eyes with me once again and nodded. "I'll tell the professor what we chose then" I said with a smile. Afterwards I stood and made my way up to Professor Snape.
"Miss Y/L/N." He said in a way that made me shiver. Then again almost everything he said did that. His voice was deep and cold.
"Professor." I said hastily. "Malfoy and I have chosen to research the thunderbird." I continued.
"Very wise." He said almost praising me. I gave a slight smile as he made note of mine and Malfoy's choice. Though he only nodded. After that I made my way back to the desk where Malfoy sat. His head once again met with his hand and he was staring off into space. He seemed to be thinking about something very important to him but the secrets of his mind were a mystery to me. He seemed to take note of everything that happened around him while he thought. Including me staring at him. He glanced at me then quickly looked away, a smirk forming on his lips and a light pink brushing his once pale cheeks. Soon enough it was time for lunch. I gathered my things and stood up, pushing my chair in behind me and made my way to the great hall with Malfoy following close behind(even though it wasn't really following. We were going to the same place so it was rather logical. Though there were other ways he could go). While I walked I heard the normal snickers and murmurs about me from other students as I passed them. I tried to ignore them but usually some comments did get to me.
"Why do you let them talk about you like that?" Malfoy said from beside me. I glanced over then shrugged. "They have no right to talk about you that way. If I were you I'd curse them all." He continued.
"Yeah but I'm less act and more.. Cower and ignore as they say horrible things about me.." I said looking over at him again. "But ya know Malfoy I almost detected concern in your voice a few seconds ago." I said cracking a smirk.
"Now now Y/L/N don't get to wrapped up in lies there. Just because we are working together on this project does not mean I'm getting soft on you." He seemed to smirk back and looked like he was holding back a genuine smile. I chuckled and rolled my eyes.
"Pfft whatever you say Draco."
"Though, if we are going to work on this project we should learn how to get on." He said almost(almost) in a friendly tone.
"What do you mean?" I said slowing down a bit to walk beside him more closely.
"I mean maybe we should hang out and learn things about each other instead of avoiding and hating each other." He said locking eyes with me.
"Hmm.. Ok Malfoy you have a deal. But if we are going to hang out you can't brag about yourself or your family at any time while we do so."
"Fine. Meet me in the common room after you last class then." He said rolling his eyes.
