Chapter 7

Draco's POV:

The next day was all but uneventful. During potions that morning, Goyle towered over Neville Longbottom and threatened to beat him like there was no tomorrow just because he accidentally skipped a step.

Everyone sat and watched in horror and Snape, being who he is, took away twenty points from Gryffindor for 'disturbing the class'.

Then, in Defense Against the Dark Arts, nothing seemed to change. Goyle still looked like he was ready to kill Neville Longbottom. Draco didn't care, but Harry seemed too invested in it to pay attention to the class.

"Alright, so today we continue our work on Patronus's, hopefully with no fights this time." Professor Lupin said with a smile. "Why don't you come up here, Blaise."

With that, Blaise Zabini strolls to the center of the classroom and tries the Patronus charm. A simple small light comes out and almost forms a shape, but quickly disappears.

"Good work!" says Lupin. The class continued on and only a couple of people managed to form a Patronus. Hermione Granger, however, didn't manage it and remained upset for the rest of the day.

Draco could hear her complain about how she failed the task over and over again. He just wanted her to shut the bloody hell up. He would've casted a hex on her if it wouldn't have landed him in Dumbledore's office. Good Merlin, he never wanted to go back there.

In the great hall, Draco didn't eat and instead observed. There was no possible way he could eat after what's happened in the past week. Knowing what he's going to have to do only soils his appetite.

He catches glimpse of Blaise, who doesn't eat either, and instead continues to glance over at what Draco could only guess was the Gryffindor table.

Draco's curiosity got the better of him. "Blaise."

Blaise seems startled at this. "Yeah?"

"What are you looking at over there?"

Blaise doesn't seem to meet Draco's eyes after that. "Uh, just Lovegood... She looks awfully nutty with her butterfly hat, it was hard not to look." Blaise chuckles awkwardly.

"Really?" Draco asked, he just didn't think Blaise was being truthful.

"Yeah..." Blaise says, still refusing to look up at Draco.

Draco simply nods and continues to stare at the table. He then feels that odd feeling of being watched again. He slowly turns around, only to realize he was simply being paranoid. Until...

"Draco?" Draco jumped a little and his eyes met Harry Potter's.

"What are you doing here, Potter?" Draco sneers.

"I came to tell you that we have an assignment to do," Harry says. "Remember the one Professor Sprout assigned?"

Shit, Draco thought. He completely ignored whatever Sprout had to say in Herbology today.

"Oh, yeah! Come on, Blaise." Pansy says, walking out of the great hall with Blaise following behind her.

"Uh..." Draco trailed off, trying his hardest not to meet Harry's eyes.

"You don't know what I'm talking about do you?" Harry asked. Draco could hear the slight anger in his tone.

"You know what, do it on your own." Draco snapped.

"Are you kidding me?!" Harry almost shouts, catching the attention of a couple of Slytherins and Gryffindors.

"No. Now leave me alone." Draco demanded with a smirk.
