Charming (Draco x OC)

First Day of Classes

I sat down next to Ron who seemed relieved. Choking down my embarrassment and grinning at him.

"Hey, Ron right?"

"Right yeah! Glad you remembered."

"It's Elena by the way, but you where close." I teased, pulling out my quill. Ron's cheeks turned red and he muttered "right right of course" to himself a bit. I glanced around the classroom for Harry and Hermione out of curiosity. They where sat a few rows ahead. Do they all just happen to be in the same class or are there just not many people in their year because of the war? And if there's not many people and the whole house of that year is in a class does that mean next period with Slytherin I'm bound to see the boy from Halloween? How do I even know he's in my year? I pushed it from my mind.

"You any good at Aritmacy?" Ron asked.

"Never done it before, you?"

"Oh I've done it before." That wasn't what I meant but I added;

"You good at it?" He shook his head and sighed.

"It's a stupid subject anyway. Usually I just copied from Hermione when I could, not that she would let me. What's the point in being so good at everything if your not going to share?" He rambled on.

"So why aren't u sat with them?" I nodded towards Harry and Hermione.

"Oh, me and Harry aren't really friends right now. Hermione thinks it's all stupid." He huffed a little, but didn't go into more detail. Fair enough, I thought, not my business anyway. I didn't ask more about what the arguement was about.

"Have you three been friends a long time?"

"Me and Harry where friends since we got the train together during first year," he smiled at the memory and began to laugh "we weren't friends with Hermione until the end of the year - found her too bloody bossy and annoying." He laughed some more. "She still is, but we like her." I laughed too, it all seemed very sweet. "Do you have friends like that?"

"I do back in France, but not here."

"What about Luna?"

"Ah yes, she's my friend I guess but she's always disappearing and I never know where."

"Huh, yeah she does do that a lot doesn't she?" Ron furrowed him eyebrows. The teacher came in and hushed us all a bunch. I felt a bit lost during the lesson - I never was good with numbers. I found my thoughts drifting off. Ron seemed nice, he had this very light friendly air to him when he stopped thinking about the argument. Either way though, I'm not sure I want to get involved in that. Aritmacy came and went, and by the end of it Ron was so slumped in his seat I wondered how it could even be comfortable.

Ok ok what's next? I asked myself pulling out my timetable from my robe as the class drew to a close. Charms. I know charms, I'm pretty good at it actually. Ravenclaw and Slytherin - I'm guessing that means I can just follow all these Ravenclaws to find the classroom.

I did exactly that, and eventually grabbed Lily who was in the same class.

"Who was the redhead?" She teased, waggling her eyebrows like an idiot. I groaned and shoved her gently.

"Someone i briefly met on Saturday."

"Seemed excited to see you for someone you 'briefly' met." She implied I was underexadurating. I didn't justify this with a response but laughed along with her. When we got to charms we had another 5 minutes before class technically started so we all stood outside until the teacher let us in. I don't know how I hadn't noticed Luna all of last lesson, but her and Cho where talking among themselves and Lunas back was to me. I saw Cho smile but her eyes looked confused and she nodded softly, clearly having no idea what Luna was on about but being to polite to say anything. I smiled to myself.
