The Journey

Lunch

"Woah! Where are you going!? We don't go to that table." Hannah said surprised grabbing my wrist. I yanked it free right away. I don't like people touching me...

"Why not?" I looked confused. "Because. Draco Jr over there has an idea why my eyes keep changing."

"I don't know if it's the best idea..."

"You're not gonna make me go over there myself are you?" I don't understand. Yeah, he's an ass but he wants to help?

"No...let's go..." she sighed as I took her over to him. She gave in for some reason not wanting to leave me alone with him.

"Well, glad you could make it." He kicked his friend off the seat. Literally.

"Gee thanks." Hannah and I sat down. She sat across from him. We were certainly getting looks.

"Alright. So, what's your theory Malfoy?" I folded my arms not getting too comfy. He leaned on the table, his fist supporting his face. He was giving me that smirk again.

"Well. First off call me Scorpius. Second of all. Your eyes are the talk of Hogwarts right now. Forget the fact you're related to Severus. They changed colors when upset with McGonagall right?"

"Yeah. Why's it matter?"

"You were upset with her right?" Why is he asking so many questions?

"Yeah. Because she's not gonna change me."

"What color were they?" He asked.

"I don't know." I rolled my eyes.

"Well. I do know that your eyes went from deep blue, to bright blue when I mentioned our class we had together. What if it's your way of showing emotion without...actually showing it?"

"Alright fine. Say that was it. Why in the world would they start changing now? They never changed that drastically before."

"Maybe being here you're feeling a lot more?" Hannah said agreeing with him without actually saying it.

"You think he's right?" I asked Hannah.

"I mean it's not impossible. Do muggles do that?" She asked.

"No." I sighed.

"Oh." Everything was silent for a minute. Of course except for the music I was listening to.

"Why not just give in and get contacts Snape? At least till we figure this out." Malfoy suggested.

"No." I said sternly.

"Why not? Maybe it won't draw you as much..." I jumped up interrupting them.

"No! I'm not hiding myself!" I growled.

"THERE YOUR EYES ARE BROWN!" Malfoy pointed. I shook my head disappointed. I felt a hand on my shoulder.

"What's going on? Is Malfoy giving you girls a hard time?" It was Fred.

"Something like that." I sighed.

"Well, come sit with me. I'm sure the others won't mind." He grinned.

"Thanks Fred. I wouldn't mind catching up with Potter. It's been a few years." I looked up at him. He was quite tall. Or I was quite short. One or the other.

"You have fun. I better go find Twila." Hannah said walking to the Hufflepuff table.

"I'm just trying to help." He grabbed my arm.

"I don't need help." I growled yanking my arm from his grip, and went to sit with Albus and Fred.

"Look at the treasure I found!" He said letting me sit first. "She was over there in the dirt." He motioned towards the Slytherin table. "Don't worry I brushed her off though. She's all clean." He smirked, a fun playful one.
