HERE| draco malfoy

THREE| the hard-knock life

MEL KNEW SHE HAD to talk to the slytherin boy, draco malfoy, soon but she procrastinated the inevitable. The blue eyed beauty fell back in her bed that was across from Elena's.

She made a plan her head of what she should do to talk to the boy with a scar on his head. She bit her lip and decided to take action. Mel wanted to spark a conversation with him but how could it come organically.

Mel pushed her body up off the bed and wandered downstairs to the common room and out the door. She smiled at a couple of her friends waving at them. She was definitely excited to be back.

The girl strolled down the hallways, it was the evening so everyone was bustling in the halls greeting their friends. Mel searched around the room and spotted the boy that was her quest to befriend.

Mel walked slower knowing that Potter was distracted by picking up his stuff and he had his materials in his hands. Mel bumped into the boy having them both fall on the floor. "Oh my, I am so sorry!" Mel apologized.

She saw the boy on the ground and smiled, offering a hand to him. He reached out and placed his hand in hers as she lifted up she apologized a second time.

Mel grabbed his books that he had yet to pick up and handed it to him. "Thank you" Harry said to Mel.

"Of course, it was all of my fault, I have to help" she smiled. "You're Harry Potter, right?"

"That's me" he scratched the back of his head.

"Thanks for always having exams cancelled because of your shenanigans" Mel grinned and winked.

"It's my pleasure" the brunette boy chuckled.

"My names Mel, I'm a Slytherin in 4th year."

Harry shook Mel's hand, "Nice to meet you Mel."

"Do you play quidditch?" Mel asked hoping he'd say yes.

"Yeah I'm seeker"

"Cool!" Mel smiled, "because I need someone to teach me a little bit about the game so I can beat my brothers."

"I can teach you, if you want?" Harry had boyish grin painted on his face.

"Really?" Mel beamed.

Harry nodded, "of course!"

"Harry!" A brunette girl yelled, Mel turned around and saw Hermione walking towards the two teenagers.

"Hey Hermione, this is Mel" Harry introduced Mel to his friend.

Mel smiled, "Nice to meet you Hermione, I have to go but I hope to see you two around." The blonde started walking away before she left she told Harry to talk to her later about the quidditch lesson.

Confident in herself she went to go see her best friend, it was nice to know she was making positive strides this year. Mel entered the common room and sat next to her best friend. "Hey Lis" Elena greeted.

"I made strides in my plan," Mel said she smiled warmly at the brunette, Elena knew she had to befriend Harry, Mel told her everything frankly. Elena was fully supportive although knew that her friend would much rather be spending that time reading.

"How'd it go?"

"It went decent, I got him to hang out with me so that's good news." Mel was proud of herself, she thought Harry would immediately have a distaste for her because of her house sorting.

"That's great, what about the whole Malfoy thing?" Elena raised a eyebrow, "are you going to talk to him?"

"Yeah," Mel let out a sigh and brushed her hands through her hair while her head went back so she could relax on the sofa. "Why is it so hard to be me?"

"Hun it's not that bad, you can do it." Elena gave her two thumbs up, of course she did all of this in a sarcastic manner.

Mel rolled her eyes and pushed herself up from the couch and decided to take a walk outside, feeling the cool breeze on her face. She made her way down towards the lake that sat next to hogwarts. As she walked down the path she bumped into someone.

It was the blonde she had yet to talk to, but he kept walking. "Wait," Mel called out. Draco turned around confused.

"We need to talk, about the whole thing." Mel pressed her lips together.

"Yeah, we should." The two of them went closer to the lake so they were at the shore. There was a large log sticking out, the tree had since fallen. Melissa took off her shoes and took a seat letting her feet submerge in the cold water.

"I don't know how to reconstruct it," Draco leaned against the tree his eyes on the ground. "But I don't need your help."

"You do" Mel moved her eyes towards him. "You need backup and someone to trust, also I will actually die if I don't help you"

The grey eyed boy crossed his arms, "fine, you can be look out."

"Man, that's boring." Mel kicked the water causing it splash all over. "Well," Mel walked across the log, and jumped down on the ground and put her converse as well as socks back on. "See you around Malfoy" Mel walked away, feeling slightly better but truthfully agitated.

Mel entered the enormous school and strolled to he bed so she could lay down, "why can't my life be easy?" She asked herself looking up at the ceiling and drifting off to sleep.
