My heart fell in my stomach. I swallowed the drink that I had in my mouth before I could cough it up, “I’m sorry. It is a habit you know? All of those years being tormented by you.”

               He laughed. It was a genuine laugh. “Yeah, I guess I understand that. By the way, have I ever told you that I was sorry? I was rotten all those years. I was a honest to Merlin brat.”

“Real killer? So you think Malfoy is innocent?” Ginny asked as she was pouring us a glass of wine.

               “Yes,” I said with confidence

“Interesting. What do you make of this?” I paused wondering why he is asking me. ‘Ms. Granger, the answer is in front of you. All you have to do is find it.”

He smirked, “Did you know that your nose scrunches up when you are concentrating?” I felt my cheek flush.

            “I…well…No, not exactly,” I said walking towards him.

            “Well it does,” he leans up and grabs my hand pulling me softly towards him. “I think it’s cute.”
