"The Girl Who Lived" Draco x Cecilia(an OC)

Part 5

I awake to Charcoal gently licking my face.

I looked around and saw my classmates getting ready, so I though I'd ought to do the same.

After putting on my uniform, I styled my slightly curly black hair into a slightly messy half up half down ponytail. I'm not really crazy about makeup, so I just add some blush to my nose and cheeks. I grab my simple grey book bag full of books, and I go to the main common room.

I see Draco , Crabb , and Goyle chatting.

"Hey guys! What are your schedules like?" I call to get their attention.

They look at me and they go red.

"Um, are you guys okay?" I said slightly worried.

Draco apparently comes to his senses, and he smacks Crabb and Goyle, and they grab their schedules from their bags.

"Wicked! We've all got the same classes!"

"Well come on guys, we'd better head to class! We don't want to be the kids that are late on their first day! Plus we got to get the good seats!" I say turning my heels and jogging out of the common room.

I could hear their collective footsteps catching up with me, so I decide to run a little faster. I ran around a corner and I bumped into a familiar boy with black hair and glasses causing him to drop all of his papers.

"Ah! Sorry Harry!" I say trying to help pick his papers.

" It's ok, Cecilia, it's no big deal."

We pick up the last of the papers, and I see that Ron was behind him. He looked really confused.

"Um, Cecilia, do you by any chance have any idea where the Transfiguration classroom is? Mgonagall will have our heads if we're late"

"I believe it's down the hall to the left."

"Oh ! That sounds right! Thanks Cecilia! We owe ya!" Ron calls as him and Harry run away following my directions.

Little did I know the three boys had caught up to me. And they weren't pleased that i was helping the 'enemy'.

"What's up with you helping Potter and Weasley?" Draco asked with an annoying tone.

"Why does it matter?" I say turning to go back to class.

Crabb and Goyle grab my wrists and turn back towards Draco.

"C'mon Draco! I don't see what the big deal is! I just wanted to help them out!"

"That's the problem. You can't go helping him, he's not our friend!"

"But-" I cut myself off. I know this argument won't end until I say I won't help them anymore.

"Im sorry. I won't help them anymore."I say.

"Great!" Draco says as Crabb and Goyle release my wrists, "now let's get to class!"

We talked as if nothing happened, even though I couldn't stop thinking about it.

Why would Draco not want me to help Harry and his friends. I get he rejected his handshake, but I told him not to worry about it... he must not have listened. I'll probably talk to him about it later.

But now it's time to focus on class!

Class went by quickly, and I knew my next class would be with Crabb, Goyle, and Draco again.

This class required that we sit in pairs.
I see Crabb and Goyle sitting together, so I decide to sit next to Draco. But before I could sit down, another Slytherin girl named Pansy, sat in the seat.

"Oh! Um, ok" I say awkwardly.

I turn around to look for another seat, and I happen to see an open one. I rush towards it so no one could take it. I look over to see who my partner was.

Oh no.

I can't believe I ended up with Harry Potter. Just my luck.
I didn't want Draco to be mad at me, so I need to find a way out of it.

"Oh, hi Harry! Was someone sitting here? I was planning to sit with Draco but Pansy got to the seat before me, so I needed another seat, but I can leave if you want, you were probably going to sit with Ron..Sorry! I'm rambling again..."

"No! It's fine Cecilia! Ron is horrible at taking notes, so he's sitting with Hermione so he can copy her..."

"Oh! Um ok..."

I look over my shoulder at Draco, who looked annoyed. I'm guessing, because Pansy wouldn't shut up.

The teacher known as Professor Quirrel came in and looked at the class, he focused on Harry and I for a moment. He then said, "Wow, y-you guys look s-so similar..." I didn't think much of it., so I just went back to class.
Harry and I didn't talk much. We were busy taking notes. While I was scribbling notes, I got a paper airplane from behind me, and I turned to see who it was from. I saw Draco make eye contact with me.

I look back to the paper plane and I unfold it which revealed a message in messy handwriting.
Ugh Pansy won't shut up. I wish we were sitting together. Sit together at lunch?
-Draco

I smile at the note and turn it over and write my response.
Hahaha, Sorry I wasn't fast enough getting to the seat. And, duh, of course we're sitting together. Potter is totally missing out on an awesome friend. ;)
-Cecilia

I fold up the paper airplane back up, and when the teacher wasn't looking, and I tossed the note back to Draco.

I turn to look at Harry who was giving me a funny look.

Just then, the teacher needed to leave the room for a moment, which was convenient since Harry looked like he wanted to ask something.

"So you and Malfoy are pretty good friends, right?" I assume he's trying to make small talk.

"I'd say we're best friends."

He looks away for a moment as if he's thinking of what to say.

"You don't seem like the type of person to befriend a guy like him." he says.

"What's that suppose to mean?" I snap.

"No! I didn't mean anything by it, I was just curious. He's kinda rude and full of himself and you're really nice!"

"Well, sure he's got a temper, but he's worth being friends with."

"You think he worth being friends with after he insults people for things they can't control?"

"Why are you interrogating me? I love being best friends with Draco and I don't understand why you're judging him because of one thing he did!"

I turned away from him and I begin to ca down and doodle in my book.
A few moments later, Professor Quirrel returns and he goes back to teaching and I go back to taking notes on the lesson.

Soon enough, class is over, and I meet Draco outside the classroom. I wasn't really in the mood to talk so I kept quiet. Draco must've noticed, because he said, "Hey, are you alright? Why aren't you talking?"
I decide not to tell him about what happened.
"What? Oh sorry, I was thinking."
I don't think Draco could tell I was lying.
We joke around and chat about classes and such until we reach our next class.
