chapter 4

Mali's POV

      After classes, I went to the library with Sophia and Pansy. "I cannot believe all of this homework is from the first day of classes!" Pansy was quite upset about this and talking about it again. I looked up at her from across the table.

"I know right! It's crazy, we have so much wor-" I was cut off by the librarian shushing me. Now whispering I said, "Yeah we have a lot of work but at least we are halfway done. You always have to look at the bright side."  We stayed there until it was time for dinner. "Hey Mali we're gonna head to dinner are you coming?"

I waved Sophia off, "No I'll be fine, I'm not too hungry right now. But have fun at dinner."

     I could feel a figure behind me so I looked and saw a Slytherin guy, maybe his name was Adrien Pucey. "Oh hi, can I help you?"

He started walking closer so I looked around and then looked back. "You're really pretty and I want to take you on a date. I'll pick you up tomorrow at nine pm so be ready" I was in shock, he didn't let even answer. " mhm. Yeah no, not interested buddy. Isn't your name Pucey? Who has the name Pucey? It sounds like Pussy! Like if we ever went to an event with you. I would be asked 'oh are you mister Pucey's plus one?' Just no."

He looked at me enraged at what I said. "Cmon dollface, I know you want to go on a date with me. I see how you look at me. Stop playing hard now and let me take you on a date." Is this guy serious? I already said I'm not interested. I will just say it again, maybe he is just too dumb. "Sorry but the answer is no, I've never even seen you before. Like I said before I'm not interested. I should get going now."

I started to put my parchment, quills, and ink away but then he grabbed my right wrist. "Excuse me? Let my wrist go before I slap the fuck out of you. I don't think so donkey man." He held on tighter making me wince. "Dollface it was not really a question. I'm going to pick you up at nine pm and your gonna be ready."

He was holding my wrist very hard. Almost enough to make me cry, I know that makes me seem weak. But I was sure a few tears already left my eyes. So you know what. I slapped him, Hard. I'm pretty sure Madam Pince heard it from the other side of the library.

"I think it would be best if you left her alone." I turned to see Draco with his wand out. "I don't think so daddy's boy. I think you should put your wand away and walk away like the little bitch you are."

Something in Draco snapped and the very next second the Slytherin was on the ground stunned. "Are you okay? Does your wrist hurt?" He was walking towards me now, his wand in his pocket.

"It does hurt a lot but thank you. I was in a lot of shock but I got a good slap in. But seriously, I must seem so weak to you." I looked down at my wrist that was blue and purple now. I felt a hand lift my chin. "Are you sure your okay? It's alright to be shaken up. And you are the best witch in Hufflepuff I've ever met. My mother is the best witch I know though." I didn't know it but I had a lot of tears running down my cheeks now. "Daddy's boy. More like Mama's boy, Mumsy Malfoy. Sounds awesome I wanna meet her." We both laughed at that and he whispered 'maybe somebody.'

Then I was pulled into a hug, my head only reaching his chest. His smell was intoxicating, green apples, spearmint, and cologne. Don't know how long we stayed there hugging, but it felt amazing. "I'll take you to the Hospital Wing. Do you need help packing your things away?" I nod and felt the arms around me unwrap slowly. he grabs my schoolbag and we leave the library together.
