This is a MalfoyXoc if you don't like that I'm not sure why you're reading this. So please read on and don't mock me. This takes place during

Warnings: nothing in this chapter might be something later on.

I don't own Harry Potter or anyone else from the books, I can only wish.

A perfect day like today was not to be waited inside the castle. The sun was up and there were no clouds anywhere to be seen. Tabatha, or Tabby for short, loved to sit outside and draw. She would sit by the lake, under a tree and paint anything she found art worthy. Today the way the lake reflected the sky and plants she had to get it down. She pulled out her sketch pad and started to draw.

Half an hour later she put her pencil down. The outline was done, now it was time to color. Another 20 minutes later and she put down the pencil again. she looked and the finished product and sighed, it didn't look right. " I don't get it," she spoke to herself. "They never turn out right anymore" she put her pencils away and headed to her next class.

After she left and figure jumped out of the tree. A certain blond haired male stretched and look at the lake. "Looked fine to me," he stated.

Tabby finished her class and headed back outside. She was determined to make sure the she drew at least one good picture today. She sat down under the same tree as that morning and pulled out her art supplies. She drew the lake again and looked at the outline. The outline looked fine so she figured she should finish it. She added the color and looked at the final product. It was still off. She couldn't understand it. "Why doesn't anything turn out right anymore?" she asked herself angrily.

"I don't see what you're whining about," a voice said out of nowhere. "I think it looks ok."

"Tabby looked around for the source of the voice and found nothing. She was sure she was going crazy.

"Up here," came the voice.

Tabby looked up and sure enough found the person in the tree. It was none other than Draco Malfoy.

He gracefully got down and took the picture from her hands she tried to protest but he just ignored her. His eyes darted left and right as he scanned the picture. "I don't see why you're complaining," he stated. "It looks just like the lake."

"Yes," Tabby replied. "But something's still off, and I don't know what."

Malfoy looked down and her for the first time since getting out of the tree. She had short brown hair a pixie cut. Her eyes were purple, which was strange even for wizards and witches. He noticed she was wearing Slytherin robes. He never noticed her before.

"Well perhaps you're being too picky," he said.

"I am not being too picky; I can't help it if my work doesn't live up to my standards."

Malfoy just shrugged. He noticed a folder on the ground with a few drawings sticking out. He picked it up and flipped through. She had drawn everything and anything.

One picture was of the potions classroom, cauldrons boiling and Snape at the front of the class writing on the board.

Another was a picture of Mrs. Norris standing at attention. The detail Tabby had put into the picture was incredible. Malfoy was certain the picture was going to come alive at any minute.

The one that caught his attention was one of himself. He was asleep on one of the big armchairs in the Slytherin common room. There was a window behind him, half covered by a green curtain. The light landing softly on his sleeping face.

Malfoy smirked and held up the photo so Tabby could see it. She blushed a shade of crimson that could rival a Weasley. She hung her head and mumbled something about the light being so great that she had to capture the effect. Malfoy smirked and handed her the folder.

"These are quite good," he told her.

She blushed again and thanked him. She said a quick goodbye and gathered her items. She left quickly without looking back.

Malfoy was amused. He had a feeling the year was about to become a bit more interesting.
