Malfoy's Mystery

Somethings Are Harder Than Others

The next day after the party was a bit of a mess when I first woke up.

First of all my head hurt from all the alcohol I took in last night. Second of all, I overslept. Usually, I wake up to my alarm ringing and then check the time, get ready for the day and then head to the Great Hall to get some food and then begin my day.

Today, on the other hand, was very frantic. I woke up 35 minutes after I usually do. I jumped up from my bed put on my dress robes and brushed my teeth. Then I brushed my hair trying to put all the little hair that was sticking out down. And then started to run as fast as I could down the halls so I could get to my first class without getting detected. Though that was going to be hard. I had transfiguration with Professor McGonagall.

As I entered the class and had taken my seat I felt someone set their eyes on me.

"Big night yesterday, right dear," said Professor McGonagall looking straight at me. "Yes, I'm so sorry, it won't happen again," I said giving her an awkward smile.

I probably forgot to mention that my partner in this class is Malfoy. "Big Night," Draco said as he fiddled with his rings, "Big," he said once more hiding his laughter. "Shut it," I said. "I was the one to stop you from getting another week's worth of detention so don't you forget it," I said giving him a soft play punch." "Yeah yeah, whatever."

AFTER CLASS ENDED

After transfiguration, I headed to the library to study a bit for my next class since I had a very important quiz coming up. I just wanted to make sure that I remembered everything I possibly could. Violet was in my next class so we studied together. Draco was with us too, well not really he was sitting at another table with Pansy and Blaise. Just because we were his best friends that didn't mean he couldn't have other friends. We weren't that kind of people.

"Hey," Violet told me as she poked my shoulder to grab my attention. "What," I said looking confused. She then started to point at someone from across the room. I saw that it was Malfoy and he was looking straight at us.

"Draco is staring at us, " she said. "I think he's just looking at me, " "I said with an awkward tone. "Why is that, are you guys not telling me something, " she said getting excited. "Are you two together, " she said as she started to jump up in her seat. "No, but he might like me because I have started to notice that he gets very secretive and acts weird around me sometimes, " I announced as I occasionally looked his way. "What, umm ok then so you need to try to find it out, cause you would make a cute couple," Violet said. "What no, Violet we're just friends and only that. You know the drill, " I said as my cheeks started to get red.

When he saw me smile, he got up from where he was sitting and headed towards me and Violet.

"Hey, Draco is coming this way."

"Umm ok?

"Ok, really you say it like that!"

"What?!"

"Well anyways, I'm gonna go and leave you two lovebirds talk to one another. Hey and don't forget to check out what we were talking about earlier. Now bye, " she said as she headed to the door.

"Is this seat taken," he said with a questioned look on his face. "Yes, it just got freed up a couple of seconds ago," I said as I pulled the chair out for him. Once he was settled I tried to start a conversion.

"Hey, do you know what the answer for number 4 is for this example?"

"No, no, no. We are not talking about this right now. Anyways did you enjoy last night?"

"Yeah, why?"

"Because I had a very good time besides the fact of what happened with that b*tch Jacob again," he said with a grin.

"Oh um ok, but I have a question and I want you to answer it honestly."

"Ok, what is it," he said as he looked towards me with his eyes wide open.

"Ok so why do you literally try to protect me from everything, I mean I know you are my best friend and you like to make sure I'm safe and all but you aren't my boyfriend. Like you know what I mean?"

"Yah I think I understand. I know I'm not your boyfriend but still, I can's help it," he said not looking at me when he said it.

If you remember correctly then you know that when D. doesn't look you in the eye when he says something then he is probably lying. This caused me to think that what I had been thinking for the last couple of days could be true but I wasn't ready to jump to conclusions. Last year one of my friends from Hufflepuff who was in year 5 wanted to make sure that her little sister from my house wasn't getting into any trouble. I gladly accepted it and I concluded that she indeed was doing something. It later turned out to be that she was planning a surprise party for one of her friends. So yeah I don't want to make the mistake again, would I? After that, I noticed that my class was about to start. I told Draco that I had to go and he nodded and I got up. Before I left though I used my hand and rubbed his soft beautiful platinum blonde hair hard causing it to get messy. I smiled at him and headed to class as fast as I could.

When I got out of class I was heading to the Common Room when a Hufflepuff asked me to go meet Professor McGonagall. I went there and followed the directions." "Professor McGonagall, you wanted to see me?" "Yes, dear sit down," she said "Ok," I said. "I'm sorry dear." "Huh" and then it was lights out.

JUST ABOUT AN HOUR LATER

The next thing I know is that I'm in Harry's arms and I am fighting to take a breath. I was all shaken up and I had no idea what was happening. Malfoy was at the edge and pulled me up and then he pulled Harry up which was a bit of a shocker.

I looked to my left and I looked to my right and I saw that Cho, Hermione, Ron, and Fleur's little sister were under the water as well. It turned out that we were used as part of the competition! Draco was furious as well as my parents and everybody else's when they heard about it. After a couple of hours, I was back to normal.

I don't know where it came from but Violet thought that since everybody survived (even though some of us had no clue we were participating) that our group should go celebrate at the 3 broomsticks. I couldn't just say no to her. She was trying to cheer me up from all that chaos that had happened today. The worst part was that she wanted it to be as "fancy" as possible, she even made a dress code. At this point, I wasn't sure what I was doing with my life. Somethings are just harder than others.
