Hi guys! Thank you so much for reading this book. I hope I can do justice to Draco's character and make a good storyline with you guys. Enjoy:)

I woke up to a cool breeze coming in from the window. Birds twittered outside. I groggily sat up in bed, rubbing the sleep away from my eyes. I looked to my right to see Pansy still sleeping. I threw off my sheets and made my way to the bathroom. After showering and putting on my robes, I did my hair and put on light makeup- some mascara and a little bit of blush. I grabbed my book and headed outside the dorm.

It was still early in the morning, so I did not expect any Slytherin student to be up. I was wrong. As I started walking down the stairs to the Slytherin common room, I noticed a blonde-haired boy sitting on the couch reading. Before I could look away his silver eyes snapped up to mine. Mesmerized, I slightly missed the next step and started to fall. But strong hands grabbed my waist and kept me in place. I looked up to find Blaise.

"I knew you were falling for me" He smiled. I took my book and playfully hit him on his head. Blaise was a good friend, and although his brown eyes staring into mine brought me slight butterflies, I knew he liked Pansy. "She's still sleeping" I rolled my eyes and gently pushed his hand away to continue walking down the steps. Through my peripheral vision, I could still see Malfoy staring at me, but I decided to continue on and leave the common room.

I hurried through the empty halls. I looked outside to see the sun barely over the horizon. Only a few students would be up this early. Lucky for me, those few students were my friends. I entered the Great Hall to see Harry, Ron, and Hermione sitting at the Gryffindor table. Although against the rules, I sat next to Hermione, across from Harry and Ron. "Hi, guys!" I smiled. Harry smiled back, his green eyes twinkling. Ron attempted to smile through all the food in his mouth. Hermione gave a sideways hug and continued reading her book.

"So, are you excited for your classes today, Y/N?" Harry asked. I sighed and put my head on Hermione's shoulder. "Yeah I guess so, I'm not really excited about Divintation but Care of Magical Creatures should be fun with Hagrid" Harry nodded, then slowly a smile crept up. "Unless he brings in a dragon". He joked. I joined his smile sitting up straight. "And gives him a name like Marshmellow expecting us to pet him" I replied. Harry laughed and imitated Hagrid "Misunderstood creature they are, dragons." I laughed hard at that "And then when you go to pet him, he'll burn off your eyebrows or something" I replied back, still laughing.

Just then students started to file in. The Slytherins started taking their place at their table. I reached over to grab my book when Harry gently grabbed my wrist. "Aw look your hands are so tiny" I frowned playfully. "No, they aren't," I said. He positioned his hand to match mine, joining our hands at the palms and working his way up to our fingertips. His hands were about a centimeter bigger. He gave a small smirk "Aha" He said. I rolled my eyes and accidentally looked over at the Slytherin table. I saw Malfoy glaring at our joined hands. I cleared my throat and brought my attention back to Harry. "I have to go now before a professor comes and takes points off" I smiled apologetically at Harry. I gave Hermione a sideways hug and ruffled Ron's hair as I left to go to my table.

I sat at the end because none of the Slytherins liked the fact that I was friends with the golden trio. I picked up a green apple and some cereal. I opened my book and started eating my cereal. I was so consumed in it, that I didn't notice the Slytherin Prince when he sat across from me. To grab my attention he grabbed my green apple and took a bite. He then put it back on my plate. I closed my book and looked up to him. I sighed "What do you want Malfoy?" Malfoy had never really spoken to me in my first two years. In fact, he was a bully sometimes to me and I didn't really want to associate myself with him.

He smirked, looking up and down at me. A small blush crept up as I looked back at my cereal, picking up the spoon. "So-" Malfoy began but was interrupted. Harry was behind me and whispered in my ear. "Come on, Hermione has something she wants to show us". His eyes glinted and he smiled mischievously. I smiled back grabbing my book. He took my hand and led me away from the table. I hadn't looked back at Malfoy but I could feel his piercing glare on my back.

Harry led me outside near the Black Lake. There, Ron and Hermione were both examining something small and golden. Hermione showed me what she had. It was a time-turner! She explained how she could go to all her classes with the time-turner. She also promised we'd keep it a secret. By the time she was done explaining it was time to go to Care of Magical Creatures.

As we walked with Hagrid to the site where the creature supposedly was, Hagrid told us to flip to a certain page. "And how exactly are we supposed to do that?" Malfoy's voice resonated behind me. I turned to look at him. "Stroke the spin o' course" Said Hagrid. Malfoy looked down at the spine and took two of his fingers, slowly stroking down the binding. I looked away my cheeks getting slightly hot for some reason.

After Neville struggled with the book Hermione responded, "I think they're funny". Malfoy's voice replied quickly, "Oh yeah, terribly funny. Really witty. God this place has gone to the dogs. Wait until my father hears that Dumbledore's got this oaf teaching classes." He snickered along with his friends. Harry stepped up "Shut up, Malfoy" He looked back at his friends and they all whistled, "whoohooohoohoo" Draco passed his bag to Goyle and slowly walked up to Harry. Suddenly his face turned to panic as he pointed at something in the sky behind us. "Dementor! Dementor!" He shouted. Half the class turned, but there was nothing there. We looked back at Malfoy as he and his friends pulled on their hoods and made ghost noises. I grabbed Harry's arm, pulling him away, and glaring at Malfoy. He just smirked.

Hagrid brought us into a clearing where we saw a Majestic creature. Hagrid explained that it was a Hippogriff. I was immediately drawn towards it. "Right then Y/N you can ger firs' to pet Buckbeak then". I nervously walked forward when harry held my hand and walked with me. He looked to me and smiled, "We'll do this together". I smiled back. We bowed and slowly stepped to pet the hippogriff. Without warning, Hagrid picked me up and set me on top of Buckbeak. He picked Harry and put him behind me. "Hold on," Hagrid said as he pushed Buckbeak to run. I immediately grabbed the feathery neck and Harry grabbed my waist. I was glad Harry couldn't see my face because I was blushing hard.

The ride on Buckbeak was amazing. We flew over the highest towers of Hogwarts. We even flew down to the lake. I lightly splashed Harry with my hand and he chuckled. After about 15 minutes, Buckbeak returned to the class. Harry jumped down first. His face flushed after the thrilling ride. I took his hand and jumped down after.

Malfoy glared hard at me. He threw the apple that he had been eating on to the floor and strutted up to Buckbeak. "You're not dangerous at all are you?" He mocked. Buckbeak got agitated and reared back. Harry pulled me back just in time as Buckbeak slashed Malfoy's arm. I let go of Harry and ran toward Malfoy. I looked to his friends, neither of them made any attempt to help him. I rolled my eyes and looked at Hagrid "He needs to go to the Hospital Wing" Hagrid nodded. "I can't leave the class with Buckbeak, do you min' takin' him?" At first, I was going to say no, then I looked down and saw him wincing in pain. "Yeah, I'll take him." Hagrid made his way to the class and started instructing them on their next work.

I looked down at Malfoy who was rolling around clutching his arm. "It's killed meh! It's killed meh!" He groaned. I rolled my eyes, "Stop overreacting" I gave him hand to help him get up. His hands were soft and his rings were cool to the touch. After he had successfully stood up, I let go of his arm. He stumbled, forcing me to grab him to stop him from falling. "I thought you hurt your arm, not your foot." He smirked putting one arm around my shoulder getting close to my face, closer than I was comfortable with. "I think I may have twisted my ankle falling". His minty breath fanned my face. I looked away and sighed "Fine, let's just get you to Madam Pomfrey".

Once we reached the Hospital Wing, Madam Pomfrey took his arm and led him to a bed. He slightly shrugged her arm off and walked completely fine. I glared, following him and pulling up a chair. Madam Pomfrey went to go get bandages and a sling. "How dare you?! I thought you hurt your foot. I had to drag you halfway across the school" I angrily whispered. "It was fun to see you struggle like that" He smirked. I huffed and stood abruptly. I dumped his bag on the bed, over his legs. He winced. "You're welcome, Malfoy" I spat and turned.
