The boy with the silver eyes

Vol: 2

I I woke up the next morning alone on the common room couch. I looked at the grand clock and it was 5:30 am, everyone was still asleep so I got up and went back to my room. As I sat in my bed I thought about Draco. I thought about his smile. I thought about his soft hair the tickled my forehead when my head was on his shoulder. I thought about the kindness he showed last night. I wanted to thank him. A few hours past and it was time for my first class. I walked into charms class and almost burst into tears when I saw Blaise. He barley looked at me. I sat down next to him and tried to ignore him. "Hey, Penelope" he started. Draco stood up quickly, "leave her alone Zabini" he said clenching his fists. "Relax Malfoy i can talk to whoever I want" he said. I saw the anger building inside Draco. "I just wanted to say I had a good time last night" Blaise said to me smiling, my eyes widened. "Watch is Zabini, i said, leave her alone" Draco said again. Blaise stood up quickly about to swing at Draco but Professor Flitwick interrupted, "boys! Sit down please" he said and they both reluctantly went back to their seats. Class ended and I walked out quickly to avoid Blaise. I walked a little quicker to catch up with Draco. "Hey" i said. "Hey Harris" he said not looking at me and continuing to walk. "I just wanted to say thank you. For last night" I said. "No big deal" he said brushing it off like it meant nothing. "Umm, yeah, okay. No big deal" I said. He walked away. I had some time before my next class so I went out to the court yard to look for Ginny. I still really wanted to talk to her. I saw her sitting under a tree with Luna, her brother Ron, and Harry Potter. The Harry Potter. She saw me coming and stood up. "Hey Ginny" i said smiling a bit, and she smiled back, "hey Penelope". "I just wanted to see how you've been. We haven't talked since the first day, and I know that it was a surprise that I got into Slytherin, and I know what you must think of me-" I started but she cut me off, "it's okay Penelope. Not all Slytherins are bad, I know that" she explained which made me smile. "So we're okay?" I asked. "Yeah of course. Hey, we're all going to the quidditch game tonight, it's Gryffindor against Slytherin, I know we'll be rooting for opposite teams but, do you wanna come!?" She asked, i smiled, "I'd love to" i said. "Great just meet as at the field at 5, and we'll all find seats together" she said and i nodded. It was 2 now so we had some time. I went back to the common room to go up to my dormitory but the whole quidditch team was there, arguing and yelling. "We're so fucked" Blaise said. "There's no way we're going to beat Gryffindor now" Draco added. The common room door slammed behind me and they all looked at me. I locked eyes with Draco. He looked so angry. I wonder what was going on. "Hey Harris. Know anyone who can step in as our seeker?" Goyle said sarcastically. "I used to play quidditch at my old school" i laughed, but all the guys looked intently at me. "Are you any good?" Crabbe asked. "I mean, I was the captain of our team, but that was a while ago" i said, getting scared at how serious they sounded. "Well we need a seeker, they don't have to be any good, but we need one to play" another team member said. "Good luck finding one" i said, quickly going up to my room. I went to my bed and put my books down, about to change out of my robes and get ready for tonight. I heard a knock on the door. I opened it and saw Draco standing there. "oh, hey" I said. "Hey Harris" he responded. "What do you want Malfoy?" I said, getting ready for another insult that he was so good at giving. "I need a favor" he said. "Yeah? And why would I be doing you any favors?" I asked. "Well you kind owe me from last night" he said chuckling. "Owe you? It was basic human decency Malfoy, I don't owe you anything" i said getting worked up. "Okay okay fine. But we really need your help" he said. "With what?" I asked. "We need a seeker for tonight.  Adrian got expelled and we have no other option. This is a super big game tonight and we can't forfeit" he explained. "No way. I haven't been on a broom since last year" i said. "It's okay, you were the captain, you know what your doing. We have a couple hours till the game, i can help you remember" he said, basically begging me. "Draco even if I could, Blaise is on that team, I don't think I can-" he stopped me, "don't worry about Zabini. I'll keep him away from you" he said. I didn't say anything for a minute. "Please Penelope" he said. I looked into his silver eyes, and gave in. "Fine, fine I'll do it" i said. "Good, come downstairs" he said coldly and walked out of my room. I can't believe I'm doing this. I'm going to make a fool out of myself.
