"Emily! How much did you get?" Hermione whispered at me as Mcgonagall passed me my test.

"I got 99! What about you?" I asked her happy but quiet too.

"Same! Hey Ron! How much?" she asked Ron and his eyes was wide open.

"I have to say that some of you really impressed me. Keep the hard work" professor said and Ron turned towards us.

"I got 79! Do you believe it? Bloody hell!" Ron said and I laughed with his reaction.

"You deserved it Ronald" Hermione said and he blushed.

[..]

"What did you ate last night Zabini? I had a great stew" Malfoy said during potions. Neville glanced at me, but I nodded at him that it's fine.

"Ready" Neville whispered and we finished the exact time that Snape was rating.

"Bet it sucks" Malfoy kept coming at me but the more I didn't care the more he continued.

Snape stopped in our table and I hold my breath nervously. He took the little pot in his hand and took a good look at it. Then he smelt it and raised his eyebrows towards us with a little smirk, almost unnoticeable.

"Great job" I told Neville and we did a fist pump.

I realized that when I stopped dealing with Malfoy my grades were better and so I did. I was completely ignoring him. I enjoy the fact that this gets on his nerves but I play it cool.

[..]

"Guys uhm we will go to the library to study" Hermione said and she, Ron and Harry stood up.

"And we will go to the Astronomy Tower" Luna added and she stood up with Neville.

"Do you want to come with us, Emily?" Neville asked but I shaked my hand.

"No its okay. I am not in the mood. I will see you guys later" I waved at them and we all split up.

I was walking outside of the castle, and I put my black scarf around my neck. Every step I was taking, my boots were sinking into the snow which was turning into water. The sun above me wasn't bright, it just gave you a little warm.
As I went to the pier of the lake, I noticed that someone else was sitting on my usual spot but because of the hat I couldn't recognise who. I abruptly stopped my walking when I saw a purple rabbit next to that person. It was pretty clear now that I was standing behind Malfoy as he was caressing the purple bunny. Not something you see everyday.

"Hello?" I asked scaring him. He turned arround suddenly and his eyes were wided than before. He looked at me and then at the animal.

"Let me guess. It's not what I think it is, right?" I asked raising an eyebrow on him smiling.

"Actually, no its not" he said lying. He took the bunny into his arms, which seem that it really likes Malfoy right now.

"So let me guess. This is another rabbit that happens to be exactly the same as the other one, right?" I tried not to laugh with the look on his face. I got you now, Malfoy.

"Wow you are very clever Black. Where did tou get this from? I don't think is a genetic your family has" he said sarcastically and I rolled my eyes.

"Screw you. You lied. The animal is not yours" I said to him and he raised his eyebrows.

"Why you lied? Why you said you were going to kill it if you wouldn't?" I asked again, all in wonder.

"Jeez Black, what are you ny mother? Back off, you don't deserve breathing the same air as me" he said disgusted and I sighed.

The 'good' old Malfoy.

Without saying any word, I passed him and sat on the edge of the pier with my feet in the air.

"What are you doing?" he asked confused.

"Sitting, of course. You have never heard of it? It's something people do when they are exhausted or don't want to listen other's bullshits about them" I emphasized my last words with a meaning and he snorted. I looked at him surprised when he sat next to me.

"Why are you sitting next to me?" I asked him and his face changed. He wasnt mad, he was more like scared. Like when you catch a baby stealing candy.

"I wonder the same thing" He tended to stand up but I dragged him down again.

"Just stay here, but don't talk. I just want to relax. Find my inner peace, you know" I took a deep breath and then I closed my eyes.

"This is ridiculous" I heard him saying and I rolled my eyes annoyed.

"Can't you just stay quiet for a god damn minute?!" I complained and his face was frowning.

"Do it too, with me. On the count of three close your eyes and think of the place you want to be right now. Somewhere that you have no worries or problems and you are with all the people you love" I explained and he looked at me confused.

"I mean, if you love anyone" I said coldly and he sighed annoyed.

"No i don't love anyone. I am Sirius Black" he made fun trying to hurt me, but I laughed a little actually leaving him surprised.

"You are wrong. He loves Potter" I explained and he rolled his eyes.

"Saint Potter" he spat his words with hate.

"What do you see when you do that?" he asked me with a serious tone.

"Well...." I said and took a deep breath. But I didn't want to tell him. I was getting opened pretty fast to people I don't really trust. 

"I don't really feel like sharing this. "I don't really feel like sharing this. But let's do it, come on. Close your eyes" I ordered him and he did it.

Everything was so silent and the only sound was the cold wind tickling my face. I opened my eyes and saw that Malfoy next to me was still with his eyes closed and a little smirk on his face.

"You saw enough" he opened his eyes suddenly and said.

"Oh no I know too much about mr Malfoy. Please don't kill me" I said messing with him and he just rolled his eyes on me.

"Hope I never see you again" he stood up to leave.

"Love you too" I said with sarcasm and he took a disgusted look on his face. With that, he left.

Did I just had a normal conversation with Malfoy? Actually, as normal it is to have a talk with him.
