This takes place in 5th year.

Draco was up extremely early compared his regular time, it was around 5 am on a Saturday. In truth Draco didn't get why he was up so early but it was nice seeming to have Hogwarts all to himself. He saw someone running beside the lake, a girl with light brown hair with gold highlights done up in a pony tale. She wore short black running shorts with a pink sports bra. Draco could see from 20 meters away that she had toned body. When she got closer he say hazel eye that held no emotion just like his gray eyes. Now he was curious, if there was one thing Draco Malfoy couldn't stand was a puzzle he could solve. So he approached he, "Hey, I don't think I have seen you around, I'm Dra…"

"I know who you are," she said with a sharp judging tone in her voice.

"Then do mind solving my mystery and telling me who you are?" Draco replayed with charm laid on think.

"I could, but then were is the fun. Here is a hint; I'm a fifth year." With that she walked back into Hogwarts. Now Draco was determined to solve, how did he miss her, he liked to pride himself in knowing a little about everyone, or at least having dirt on him or her. But with her he knew nothing.


When he got back in the common room and got ready for the day, his friends were up. He decided to ask them about the gorgeous brunette he talked to earlier.

"So, I briefly talked to a girl (describes the girl). Do you know anything about her?" Draco asks.

"If you're interested in her, well, then I wish you the best of luck. From what I here she doesn't date people from Hogwarts." Blaise Zabini answered calmly.

"What? Why? Oh never mind. I actually wanted to find out her name and house. I am not interested in her, she simply wouldn't tell me who she was."

"Well she is a Gryffindor, her name is Madeline Clarse, but she goes by Maddie. She, I think, is pureblood although she could be half-blood, not a muggle born. She seams to be friends with everyone in Gryffindor and most every house except slytherin. She is always nice or at least the most pleasant to slytherins from Gryffindor. That is all I know." Zabini finished with a thoughtful expression.

"What?"

"Oh, one more thing, she has the same mask every slytherin does."

"Thanks, but why haven't I noticed her before?" Draco replied confused.

"She tends to blend in, on purpose or accident I don't know. I only noticed her because I literally ran into her." Blaise said embarrassed.

"Thanks, I'm going to the library want to come?"

"Got nothing else to do?" With that the two boys left for the library.


They walked in to the library, it being almost empty because it is a Saturday, and as I walked I noticed Maddie down a row of books. Draco turned and behind him Blaise just looked on knowing it was going to be entertaining. Draco opened with "Well Madeline Clarse or should I say Maddie, it has seemed that I have solved your riddle."

"It seems so, although I don't see why you need to inform me." In the background Blaise covered up a laugh. "Oh, and call me Maddie none of this last name thing."

"Well, if you don't mind telling me, why are you looking up magical signatures? Because to my knowledge we don't have an assignment on it."

"That may be true, but you never know when information will come in handy. Know if you don't mind some of us have things to learn. Why don't you go an count your money, bye Draco." With that Maddie heads off to the other side of the library caring a book that was previously on the shelf.
