After having a few rows with Victoria Greengrass whether or not I should put my hair up or down. Eventually, we came to a compromise. I wear it down, but she has to braid it. Aunt Minerva had sent me a dress, a very lovely white one. To be frank, I'm not very fond of dresses but this one's really soft and comfy; makes me want to sleep instead of going to this silly Halloween ball. 18
"So, do you have a date?" Victoria asked, tying the many green ribbons in her hair. I helped her with the last one which she couldn't reach, "Yeah, I'm going with Draco." I said bluntly. Her eyes widened a bit, her mouth curving into a devious smile, "I knew it!" 25
"Knew what?"
Victoria walked across the dorm, slamming the door shut before looking at me with the giddiness of a 4 year old who had too much eggnog on Christmas morning, "You two! You two cannot be separated, I swear to Merlin you can be mistaken for being connected to the hip." Victoria joked, squirting perfume on her entire body. 11
Had we really been spending that much time together? Well, we both have the same classes together and we are friends. What's so wrong about that? "Some people are just so stereotypical nowadays; just because a girl spends a significant amount of time with the opposite sex means she has romantic feelings towards him and vice versa?" I asked. 40
Victoria nodded with eagerness, "Yes!" She giggled, hopping on one foot as she searched for her other shoe which her cat had dragged off somewhere, "You know the way Draco looks at you-" 15
"What? What do you mean?"
She looked at me as if it were obvious, "Don't tell me you haven't noticed."
"Sorry," 1
Victoria groaned tiringly, "You are so clueless! The boy likes you, Em." She said. 26
Normally I would deny this and cover it up as all of it being just and purely friendship but what's the use? She's just going to say it relentlessly, over and over. On the other hand, she does have a point. Draco kept interacting with me even after I was sorted into Gryffindor, and by that time the other Gryffindors told me that the Slytherins were no good and mostly bullied my (former) house.
That does sound odd. I've heard Malfoy has been such a prick to the other Gryffindors... But me, maybe he's trying to copy off my homework or something. I doubt that he actually likes me in a way other girls wish to be liked as.
One last thing though, why did he ask me to go with him? 11
