Incantata

Chapter 8

That next morning it was a Saturday and I had gotten up pretty early. Hermione was still asleep assuming it was from that big night we had last night from the party. Hermione knocked out still in her red jumpsuit on her bed right when we got back to our dorm room last night. As I woke up I got ready and just wore a navy blue oversized zip up jacket with some blue mom jeans and a white turtleneck. I placed my hair back into a low bun and picked up one of my books from my bookcase and headed out the door. It was a chilly morning and I needed to catch up on some reading that I had to do. I decided to study out in the courtyard, as I was heading down the hallways. I arrive at the courtyard and sit down on one of the benches and start reading and taking some notes on my book. As I was looking down at my book and writing some stuff down onto my
notebook I saw some shoes walk past me. I recognized the shoes and peeked my head up to see that it was Draco. Draco looked down on me as he was passing by in the courtyard. He made eye contact with me and then whipped his head the other way real fast trying to avoid me and walked away. I thought it was weird but didn't really think too much about it. Though after this I was looking down at my book and started replaying all the events that were happening in these past weeks with me and all of the weird situations that I was getting myself into. I started replaying that moment with me and Draco in the broom closet , and then me and him in Snape's class and then us at the playboy party.. And as i was looking down at my book thinking about all these scenarios i realized i had a smirk on my face. Why did I have a smirk on my face? , especially over someone like Malfoy? Someone who constantly hurt my feelings and would disrespect me over and over but yet i smirked when i thought about him... I pushed those feelings aside and tried to just focus on my book again and forget about it. I finished up with my homework about an hour later. As I finished up I walked back to my dorm and spotted that Hermione had finally woken up as well.
"Gosh " she exclaimed as she dropped her head into hands.
"Fun night ?" i laughed as i walked back over to my bookcase and put away the book i was reading earlier.
" no" she laughed " i feel horrendous"
I looked back over to Hermione and smiled. " Too much juice i'm guessing ?"
She plopper he head up and smirked at me " yup i realize 2 glasses in that he was joking "
She finally got up from her bed and went over to change into some comfy clothes.
Hermione walked into our bathroom as I walked back over to my vanity and sat down.
I started playing with my necklaces and rings on top of my vanity.
As Hermione walked back out the bathroom she pulled hair into a messy bun and was just wearing a sweatshirt with some sweatpants.
"I'm hungry let's go" she muttered as she grabbed her wand from her nightstand and slipped on her shoes.
"Oo say less" i laughed as i stood up and followed Hermione out the door.
As we walked out into the common room we spotted Ron and Harry sitting on the common room couch.
" Mourning lads " Ron chirped as me and Hermione walked down the stairs.
"Mourning" I laughed as I reached the last step stepping into the common room floor.
"Ronald " Hermione said as she reached the common room floor and walked straight past the couch and out towards the hallway.
I looked back to see Ron annoyed looking back at Harry.
I smirked and followed Hermione back out the common room door.
As we were walking down to the great hall Hermione looked distraught and I could tell there was something wrong.
"What Mione ?" I asked as we were a few feet from the great hall door.
Hermione grabbed onto the great hall door and pulled it open and mentioned me to walk in.
"Alright." I laughed as I entered the great hall and started walking towards the gryffindor dining table. Hermione followed behind as we both sat down at the very end of the table by ourselves.
"Ok.." She explained " I'm just - mad at Ron". she looked down angrily as she grabbed onto a bread in front of us and squeezed it in her hand.
"hey ! hey dont assault the bread" i laughed as watched her annihilate the bread in her hand.
She looked up at me and dropped the bread on the table.
"I don't know, he just ugh!" She leaned back into her chair and crossed her arms.
I laughed and just started grabbing some of the food that was placed in front of us. Minutes later we spotted that Ron and Harry were walking into the dining halls. I turned my head around and saw them walking up to us. Hermione and Ron make eye contact and Ron stops walking.
Hermione stared him down and Ron watched her. Soon Ron chirped and turned around and walked back. I looked back at Hermione and laughed.
"What did you do to him " Hermione looked back at me and rolled her eyes.
"Nothing, " she muttered and went to grab another piece of bread.
"No-" i exclaimed " don't hurt the bread
She looked back up at me and pulled her hand back and went back to eating the food in front of her. After Hermione was done eating she remembered that she told Ginny she would meet her to help Ginny study for a test coming up.
"Oh I got to go!" Hermione yelled " Meet you later?" she asked.
"Yea, sure" I mumbled as I had my mouth full of food. Hermione stood up and walked away leaving me by myself at the dining table. I didn't mind and continued on eating my lunch. As i was done most people had already left the Great hall and went on with their days but i was still sitting there by myself minding my own business. After a few minutes I finally decided I was going to go back to my dorm. I stood up from my table and started to head out the door. I noticed that everyone in the dining hall had left and it seemed like I was the only one left in there. As I was approaching the door I saw it open and Draco was walking in by himself. I looked at him and stopped moving. As he walked into the room he looked up and saw me standing there by myself, He once again flipped his head the other way when he saw me looking at him and started to walk towards the slytherin table ignoring my presence. I chuckled and watched him walk away in annoyance that he was acting like I did not exist. He quickly sat down at the slytherin table looking up at me but still trying to avoid my eye contact.
"Cool" I mumbled under my breath annoyed as I turned around and started to walk out of the great hall. I rolled my eyes and as I was approaching the door I turned back looking towards Draco sitting down. He was sitting by himself , alone and as much as i was pissed off and didn't like him i couldn't help feeling a little bad. As I was looking back at him Draco looked up at me and saw me staring from afar.
"What?" he yelled out to me standing across the room
" you're an ass" i responded as i had my hand onto the door handle
"Why do you care ?" he said bratty as he placed his elbows on the table and ran his fingers through his hair.
" i dont " I yelled back as I was still holding onto the door handle.
"Well if you don't then shut up" he yelled back putting his head down.
I rolled my eyes and just death stared at him acknowledging how I was mad at him but I didn't even know why.
He lifted his head up and saw me still standing there , "Go? If you don't care so much , if you think i'm an ass than shut up and leave"
"Don't tell me what to do" I yelled back, releasing my hand on the door handle and crossing my arms, still deathstaring him from across the room.
Draco stood up from his seat as he slammed his hands onto the table and leaned forward towards me from afar.
"Or what? " he muttered looking right back at me.
i squinted my eyes towards him and finally grabbed onto the door handle and swung it open.I walked straight out that door and i could feel Draco's eyes staring into my soul. As I was walking in the hallway I was still mad but I was also smirking to myself knowing that I could piss Draco off.
