You and Fallon stood, listening to Pansy's meaningless "I'm sorry"s. Draco walked out from behind the wall and shoved passed you.

Damn that boy was bipolar.

3rd period at Hogwarts was always bound to be interesting, no matter any day. In Potions, you sat in your normal seat beside Hermione, a 6th year Gryffindor. She was very good at this class along with you, but her counterpart, Harry Potter, was not the best. You were ordered to make one of the hardest potions in the books; Black Fire. Harry had a reputation with this potion, getting almost all of your 3rd year friends in trouble. The room was quiet and tidy, a small sound of bubbles lingering. You were half way done with the dark green potion when a loud 'pop' sparked the room. You looked over, Harry covered head to toe in a dark green mixture with a foul smell.

"Oh Mister Potter, How many times do I have to tell you." Professor Slughorn's voice trailed off as he grabbed Harry's arm and led him into the hall.

Hermione giggled, "He's for sure getting a d hall." She smiled over at you. You smiled back, turning to his work station.

Green covered the whole entire area, stopping just at Hermione's desk border.

"Oh, I put a charm there. It's Harry, he can't make it through fifteen minutes in this class."

You shrugged, agreeing.

After class, and a very long lecture on how you should follow directions, it was a free period. Fallon had a study session with a Ravenclaw girl named Hailee Evergrown. Your plans were to shower then just hang out in the common rooms until Fallon got back.

You got into your dorm, grabbing a fresh pair of clothes and heading into the bathroom. The dorm was empty, you being the only one in the room. The loud clank of the shower hid the knock and opening and closing of your dorm room door. You had a radio which played on a public muggle station. You didn't know many of the words, but it brightened your mood.

'O Children' ended, cueing the end of your 6 minute ish shower. Your shower clanked off as you stepped into a furry off-white rug. You brushed your hair through, spritzing lemon hair conditioner as you dragged down your hair. Outside the thin bathroom door, what sounded like shuffling bags curled outside.

As you went to change, you realized you grabbed a t-shirt with a stain on it.

Ugggghhh. You had to walk out in a towel.

You rattled the door handle, the door bursting open. You were wrapped in a white towel, your hair neatly placed behind your shoulders. Instead of seeing possibly Fallon or another one of your doormates, you saw Draco going through Katie's bag. He also had a book bag of his own sitting next to his Katie's bed, by his feet. His pale face was aimed towards the bed, only looking up when you opened the door. He quickly realized you were in a towel and turned around, giving you privacy.

You hurried, grabbing a t shirt and heading back into the bathroom. It wasn't far uncommon to see a boy going through Katie's things. She was quite the known thief around the school. If you had lost/had something stolen, the chances were high that Katie McLaggen had it somewhere in her bags. In the bathroom, you put on a black sports bra and black biker shorts. You slid a dark green shirt over your thin, tan body, walking out of the room.

Draco once again covered his face, huffing.

"Draco it's fine; I'm dressed now."

"Finally." He rolled his eyes and headed back to rustling in the bag.

"What did you lose?" You said, laying back onto your bed.

"Stupid cross thing. It's not even mine, it's Crabbe's. He's too afraid to come and get it." He mumbled the last part under his breath, barely leaving you to hear.

"Why would Vincent be afraid to get a cross? I mean it's not like Katie wouldn't have it."

He laughed for a split second. "I think he's got a crush on one of the girls in this room, but he hasn't said anything. It's not like I care about his tragic love life anyways." Draco paused, "Ahah! Found it."

You clapped, mocking his pride.

He side eyed you. "Don't tell Katie I was in here."

"I won't." You paused to think as he turned to the big, metal door. "Oh hey, Malfoy. Thanks."

"Mhm." He looked as if he were to say more, but was startled by Fallon rushing into the doorway.

"Oh-My-Goodness! Y/N you won't-" She looked down, at a groaning Draco.

"Dang Malfoy, you really can't keep your balance." You said, laughing. You knew Fallon was too afraid of Draco to help him up so you headed to help him. You reached for his hand, him not taking yours.

"I don't need your help." Draco snapped.

You were taken aback by his words, just trying to be kind. He was pleasant a couple of moments ago, why couldn't he accept help?

"Fine then."

Draco stood up, grasping the cross in his hands. You quickly slipped your ankle under him, causing him to trip. You grabbed Fallon's hand and ran out of the door before he could say anything.

~~

You both finally figured you were safe, sitting in the stone window frame of the hallway.

"What was that?" Fallon said, laughter filling her joyful voice.

"Draco being a douche." You both turned to each other, laughing playfully.

"What are we laughing at?" Harry said, coming up behind you. His hand went on your shoulder, him leaning.

"Malfoy." You laughed, feeling the embrace of his shoulder. Fallon turned a light pink, clearing her throat. "Hey Harry." She mumbled.

"Hey Fallon, whatcha been up to?"

"Oh nothing.."

He nodded, agreeing with her statement.

Feeling the awkwardness of this situation, you decided it was best for you to go ahead and get ready for your next class.

"I'll catch you around, potion master Harry." You giggled, knocking his shoulder lightly. He smiled, turning to Fallon.

You walked along, hearing Harry and Fallon's conversation loosen up a little.
