walking from potions on my free period, i started to roam the halls, taking in every thing.
after saving Maggie from Draco, I don't know what came over me. I'm always watching out for him. Until I see him again I'm keeping a close eye on everyone. Until I see him again I'm trying to forget about my dream. The vivid dream that haunted me every time I saw him.

I walked into the library after five pm for my daily half an hour read, when I saw him follow me into the corner of aisle 8 where all my favourite books where.
"what do you want?" i turned around slowly, to see Draco pacing back and fourth in the entrance to the aisle I was in, He looked up at me like 'finally you noticed I was here Lockwood' He walked quickly toward me, holding out a piece of paper in his hand.

"What's that?" I tilted my head slightly.
He dropped it on the table and then sat next to it, just waiting. I opened it to be a letter from Snape; telling me Draco was here to help me with "DATD".
"Alright, Let's get started then." I flicked the piece of parchment onto the old wooden table and moved closer to him with my books.
"So where should we start?" I sarcastically smiled, He wasn't speaking and something was probably up. It was not ordinary that Snape would ask Draco Malfoy to help me.

"I'm not sure, but he realised that you aren't doing so well Lockwood." A sneaky smile appeared on his face, as he flicked his hair back out of his eyes. "If you are here to make fun of me because you are Mr Top of the Class then don't even bother." I snapped by book shut and gave him a glare, a hard stare that set him up right.

He moved closer again, he reached over to grab one of the books from the back and while doing so leaned into my face.
I flinched almost, this is the closest he's ever been and I couldn't breathe. He was so close to me and he looked at me up and down until I spoke.

"People are staring Malfoy." I moved my face away from him and tried to calm my heart down. "Let's get this over with then." I started to read over the pages.

After asking him lots of questions and finishing with a sigh, I walked back to my common room. My heart was racing.
"Lockwood." He called me back from the staircase, waving a book in his hand.
"Oh thanks, didn't know you liked studying." I snatched the book and looked at him eagerly;
"I don't." He snarled, he still looked at me that way, one way it's like he needs to tell me something but another is like he hates my entire existence.

"Good night Draco." I waltzed up the stairs and started to recite the passcode;
He grunted before walking away, I didn't care. He was on my mind but I needed to stop thinking of him.
