It's your 5th year at Hogwarts. House: Slytherin. It's a cold Monday morning in the middle of December, you're rushing to your potions class, you're almost late.

You rush into the room right as the bell chimes.

"Almost late again, hmm?" Professor Snape says loudly as you try to sneak to your seat.

"I'm sorry Professor," you mumble and keep your head down until you make it to your seat and sit down. You can feel the eyes of the class on you. Why won't Professor Snape just start the class already? You don't want the attention anymore.

"She's always late because she can't remember where the classroom is," Draco taunts loudly, "Oh, I'm so stupid I can't seem to remember how to get around this place, I'm such a dumb forgetful mudblood!" Draco says in a high-pitched mocking voice. Gregory and Vincent snicker loudly, all three of the boys looking at you. You throw Draco a glance. It wasn't even a good insult.

I'm not even a mudblood either, which is why the insult makes no sense. You hate the term anyways, your parents shouldn't determine your worth and standing.

"Draco! Quiet," Snape says, but everyone knows he doesn't mean it. Draco is Snape's favorite. "Alright class, today we will be starting a new project, your partners will be decided randomly. Now form a line and you can draw a name out of this hat, and that will determine your partner."

You stand up and get in line. When it gets to your turn you reach in the hat and pull out a slip of paper. Shit. It's Draco Malfoy. You fold the slip up small and look at him. His eyebrows raise as you meet his eyes and you see a wave of emotion pass across his face. It looks like a mixture of excitement and fear. However, the look disappears as quickly as it appeared.

"Um, I think we are supposed to be partners," you say to him.

"Um um um, I think so," he says, mocking you.

"You know I'm not a mudblood right?" you ask him.

"Sure, but that doesn't make it any less fun to tease you," he replies.

"Why do you even pick on me so much? You don't tease anyone else nearly as much as me, and I haven't done anything to you," You say, trying not to let my voice quiver. As much as you dislike him, his opinion of me has always been something that bothers you. You want him to like you for some reason.

"You're just an easy target," he says with an easy laugh. However, by looking into his eyes you can see some other emotion in there, sadness maybe. The look in his eyes softens you a bit, maybe he doesn't want the worst for you after all.

Professor Snape cuts in, "We won't be working on the project today during class, so set a time to meet with your partner outside of class. This project will be a lot of work and you will want to get started right away," he announces to the class.

You glance at Draco, he's looking down at his hands. "So do you wanna meet up sometime?" You ask him hesitantly, he doesn't really seem like himself right now.

"Yeah, sure," he says, resuming his usual casually confident personality, "we can meet at my room around 5:00."

You spend the rest of the class distracted. What just happened with Draco? You try to convince yourself that it was nothing but you know you saw something else in his eyes. Something different from his usual arrogance. The thought of going to his room later makes it hard to focus on your school work.
