It Started With A Closet. . . A Drarry Fic (No Smut!!!)

Day Nine Part Two

No one's POV (and yes, technically this is just 3rd person, but it's all in third person; the POVs I'm doing just depends on who's thoughts you can see, which is why I say that it jumps around so much.)

As the trio walked to lunch, Abigail, who was coming from the Hufflepuff common room, saw them ahead of her and caught up.

"Hey, guys!" she said happily, if not a bit nervous.

"Hi, Abigail," Hexa said, walking over to the other side of Draco so that she could stand next to Abigail, too.

Harry didn't like it. He could tolerate Abigail, but now it almost felt like she was stealing her away from him and Draco.

Once at the table, they all got some food on their plates and started talking. Abigail made the first effort.

"So, what have you guys been doing today?"

"We were just hanging out. They were playing chess, and Draco was losing every game, so I started to help, and then him and Harry tied by the time we left to come here for lunch," Hexa answered.

The two boys exchanged glances, both noticing that she left out her writing. At least that's one thing that they knew and Abigail didn't about Hexa.

Hexa noticed the looks, but continued talking to Abigail, even though she was a bit distracted by them.

"Um," she said, looking away from Draco and Harry and back at Abigail, "what have you been doing this morning?"

"Doing homework. Nothing better, I suppose. . ," she answered, and took a bite of food.

"You should hang out with us after lunch. We're not really doing anything either," Hexa offered.

"Really?" she asked, her face brightening.

"Mhm." Hexa smiled, liking that her new friend wanted to hang out with her, that it made Abigail happy.

"Thank you!"

"Of course. I'll probably be doing some homework while they play chess, so we won't be exciting, but at least you won't be hanging out alone," Hexa said.

Unpleased with this new situation, Harry and Draco just scowled the entirety of lunch while the girls chit-chatted.

As they walked into the Room of Requirement, Hexa took the seat she'd originally been sitting in, and another had popped up for Abigail as the boys started to play another round of Wizard's Chess.

Not ten minutes later. . .

"Hexa, I'm stuck," Draco said, staring at the board with a calculating look on his face. Hexa put down an essay she was halfway done with and scooted to the end of her seat, looking over the board.

"Move this one here," she said, pointing to one piece and then a space on the board.

"Hexa!" Harry protested. "That is the only move he could've done that would've stopped me from putting him in Check Mate."

Abigail and Hexa giggled.

"Alright, fine, I won't help next time," Hexa promised, "as long as you guys don't interrupt my schoolwork."

"Deal," Harry said.

Then an idea hit Hexa:

"Oh, shoot, I left my History of Magic textbook in our room. Abigail, could you come help me look for it?" she asked.

"Huh? Oh! Sure, yeah," she said once she saw Hexa's "Please just go with it" look.

The girls walked out of the Room.

"So why did you want me to come with you?" Abigail asked once they were on their way to the Hufflepuff Common Room.

"Because Draco has a crush on Harry, and since I'm always with them I decided it might be interesting to see what happens if we leave them alone. Draco will tell me everything later."

Abigail went back to the room later with the excuse that the textbooks were too heavy to carry back and forth so they were just going to finish studying in their dorm room until dinner, and they'd meet up then.

"Abigail, I'm bored."

"Do some more homework," Abigail suggested.

"I finished it all," Hexa said. She was sprawled out on her bed, looking up at the top of it, which she'd spelled (like the dining room) to look like the night sky.

"Finished?" Abigail asked, shocked. "How?"

"I worked on it?" It came out as more of a question than a statement.

"Then help me," Abigail said. "I could use it."

"I don't want to do homework though. We've been doing that for almost three hours and while I'm dedicated to schoolwork, I need a break."

"We have about three hours before we go to dinner," Abigail said, checking her watch as she set her books and scrolls off to the side.

Hexa sat bolt-upright, having just thought of a good idea. "We can go visit Clumsy!"

"Who?"

"You'll see, just follow me."

A/N Yes, I'm ending it here
