The boy with the silver eyes

Vol: 3

Penelope's POV:

I woke up as the sunlight pierced through the semi transparent curtains in my room. I got dressed in my robes and got ready to go down stairs to my first class. It was herboligy today, and we had the test. I hope that Blaise would fail. It'd be fair payback. We sat down in our seats, Blaise and Goyle next to me, and Draco on the other side of Blaise. I walked into class and Draco was already sitting down, Talking to Crabbe. "Hey" i smiled. "Hey Harris" he said coldly, not even a smile. "You ready for the test?" Goyle asked me. "Heard you got a lot of studying done with Blaise a few nights ago" Pansy chimed in from across the room. "W-what? Who told you that?" I said nervously. "It's all over the common room. Blaise is telling everyone about the fun time you two had" she said smirking. Draco looked over at me, then over to Pansy, "shut up Parkinson" Draco said. I got up quickly and ran out of the class. I heard someone follow me. I stood in the hall trying to catch my breath. What did Blaise tell people? I felt a hand on my shoulder. "Hey, Pen" Draco said. I turned around and looked at him. "You don't have to do this Malfoy" i said. "Do what?" He asked confused. "Pretend you're interested in me when it's just us to, but ignore me when your around everyone else" i said. He looked nervous, like I had just caught on to what he was doing. "Look Harris, i don't do relationships. We had fun last night or whatever but, I'm not into that sort of thing" he said. Tears formed in my eyes. Is he serious? Did last night mean nothing to him? I stood there quiet. "Look I'm sorry. But this is just how it is" he said. "Yeah. No big deal right?" I said pushing past him back into the classroom. I sat down and put my head down. How could I be so stupid.

I sat under a tree in the court yard, reading my book. I heard Draco's voice in The distance. I saw him walking with Crabbe and Goyle, laughing and smiling. Like nothing was wrong. I guess it's easier for him. "Would you mind if I sit?" I heard a soft handsome voice say. I looked up and saw a tall pale skinned boy. He had light brown hair and beautiful blue eyes. "Um, yeah sure" I said. He was wearing a Hufflepuff tie. He looked like a Hufflepuff, smiley and cheery like. "So what's a beautiful girl like you doing all alone?" He said which made me blush. "Just reading" i said. "I think I'll join you if you don't mind" he said sitting and taking out a potions book. "You have Snape?" I asked. "Yep, he's the worst, always loading us with work" he said. "I know! It's so annoying, like doesn't he know we have a life!" I said and we both chuckled. "I'm Cedric" he said extending his hand, i shook it and followed with, "I'm Penelope". He was very handsome. Not as handsome as Draco but, I shouldn't be comparing. Draco wants nothing to do with me. "So how long have you been going to Hogwarts? I don't think I've seen you around before" he asked. "I just transferred this year" i said and he nodded. "And you got stuck in Slytherin. You seem to nice to be a Slytherin" he said. "Heyy, I'm proud to be a slytherin, we're not all mean" i said. "True, but most are, just look at them over there. Ugh, Malfoy annoys the hell out of me" he said looking over to Draco and his friends messing around. "Yeah" is all I could say. "You guys aren't, friends, are you?" He asked. "No. I don't think so" i said and he nodded. We talked for a while, about the different classes we're taking, about Quidditch and the next tournament. Shit I completely forgot that I'm still on the team. I still have to go to practice today with Draco.

Draco's POV:

I felt bad for dissing Penelope like that. But i just, couldn't risk getting close with anyone. I felt myself giving into her. And I knew it wouldn't turn out good. If my father ever found out, I don't know what he would do to her. I can't risk her getting hurt because of me. But when I saw her talking to Diggery it bothered me more then I thought. I also wanted to kill Blaise for spreading that rumor about her. When we got to the locker room I saw Blaise already there with the rest of the team. "Hey Zabini" i said getting his attention. "What did I tell you about Harris?" I said. "Not this bullshit again, bloody hell Malfoy would you just let it go?" He said. "You're the one that spread the rumor. You know what happened in that common room, I could get you expelled" i said to him. "Yeah but then where would you find another seeker? You know damn well this team wouldn't survive without me" he said getting closer to me. "Back the fuck up Zabini" i said. "oh yeah? Make me" Blaise said, tempting me. And of course, I gave in. I punched him straight in the face, he stumbled back a bit but then hit my right back. I knew that wouldn't win this fight. He's twice my size. I took out my wand and pointed it at him. "Don't fuck with me Zabini" I said and the other guys had to hold him back. He stormed out of the Locker room with the rest of the team. Fuck that hurt. I felt my eye starting to bruise, and my lip was split.

Penelope's POV:

I went back to my room, put my books away, and changed. I headed down to the locker rooms to get ready for practice. I went out to the field and All the guys were there. Except Draco. I went back to the locker room and saw him sitting on the bench. He was touching his lip and flinching. It looks like someone just beat the shit out of him. "Draco" i said, coming around the corner a bit so he could see me. "What happened?" I asked. "Zabini" is all he said. I went over to him and sat down. I took out my wand and held it to his face. "Vulnera Sanentur " i said softly. And his cut slowly went away along with the bruising that was starting. "Thank you" he said, kind of amazed at the spell. "So, you and Diggory?" He asked. "What? Cedric? No, we're just friends" i said, not that it's any of his business anyway. I got up and went back out to the field, and he slowly followed behind me.
