The Guitar
I knew he was there. Watching me, just the same as every day this week. Hidden behind the tree not some 10 feet away. Why he thought I couldn't see him I wasn't sure. With that shock of white blond hair, he was hard to miss.
The first time I noticed him hiding behind the tree I braced myself waiting for the usual barrage of insults. I have to say I was shocked when they didn't come. Instead he had stood silently listening to me play.
The following day I noticed him watching me when he thought I wasn't looking. My heart skipped a beat. Maybe, just maybe he felt the same attraction I did. Only time would tell I suppose.
The day seemed to drag on. All i could think was I need to get my guitar and head to the lake. Would he come listen again? I was a little annoyed that Ron and Hermione wanted to come too. Now he def wouldn't come out of hiding. Fortunately they were so involved with making moon eyes at each other they didn't notice anything else. I hadn't been playing long when I spotted him. This time behind a tree not even 3 feet away. He wad harder to spot, must have done a hasty disillusionme nt. But I knew it was him. And he had come closer. I wanted to let him know how I felt. I needed to tell him. Had to know if he felt the same. Close to time for curfew. I made a big show of packing up my guitar and told Ron and Hermione I would catch up.
Once they had walked off, I turned my eyes back to the tree he was hiding behind.
I gathered my courage, sucked in a breath and said "Hello Draco. I am glad you came to listen to me play again. Want to sit here with me next time?" Heart pounding I listened to his shocked, stuttering reply. He said yes! We made plans to meet the following evening. Blushing we both headed back to our dorms.
The next day I feigned a headache and told my friends I wasn't going to play that night. They quickly excused themselves. I waited, grabbed my cloak and tossed it on just to be safe. Picking up my guitar, I headed to the portrait hole. I couldn't help but be excited and nervous. Because I, Harry Potter, had a date with Draco Malfoy.
