A/N This was a headcanon for Charlotte Mitchell :) Hope you enjoy :D
Draco came round the corner talking loudly to Crabbe and Goyle. Charlotte came round the corner at the other end of the corridor a couple of seconds later. She looked up when she heard Draco's voice.
Oh no, she thought. It was bad enough walking past him with friends, but alone? This wasn't going to go well. He always found something to be mean about. She looked down and hurried up, hoping he would be too engrossed in his conversation to notice her.
"Hey, badger!"
Oh no, she thought again. Charlotte looked up, resigned to her fate.
"Yes?" she said angrily.
"Woah, calm down!" Draco said. "I was just…" He looked at her as though he'd never seen her before.
"Is there a problem?" Charlotte said, desperate to get back to the Hufflepuff common room.
"No, I was just…" Draco stammered. Goyle whacked him on the back.
"Oi, Draco, what's wrong with you?" he grunted. Draco glared at him.
"I'll meet you back in the common room, alright?" Draco said as if he wanted them to leave quickly. Charlotte was now really confused. As Crabbe and Goyle trudged off, Draco grabbed her hand.
"What are you doing?" Charlotte asked. She was completely baffled. Did Draco like her?
"Do you want to go to the Three Broomsticks with me next Hogsmeade weekend?" Draco blurted out.
"What?" Charlotte asked before she could help herself.
"You heard, badger," Draco said cheekily. Charlotte looked up at him with her emerald green eyes.
"Erm…okay then," she said, not really knowing why.
"Great, talk to you soon then," Draco said and walked off towards the Slytherin common room.
"Well that doesn't happen every day," Charlotte muttered and headed back to the Hufflepuff common room, grinning from ear to ear.
