Chapter 1: A Quick Peek
"- And for our next meeting, I want all of you to write on one whole piece of parchment, a brief description of witch-burning during 17^th century France." Professor Binns announced.
The group of 5^th year Ravenclaws and Slytherins, however, weren't paying any attention to what he was saying. Most of them were already packing their bags and stood up to leave the room.
"Good day everyone. Class dismissed." Said Professor Binns, who didn't seem to notice that the students had already dismissed themselves.
Pansy Parkinson, a lanky, Slytherin tomboy, whose dark hair was tied up in a messy ponytail, slowly got out of her chair. She slung her black, tattered backpack onto her shoulders. As the students talked among themselves on their way out, Pansy took a quick glance of Draco Malfoy, who was across the room.
Draco was talking to Blaise Zabini, another Slytherin. Their voices were both very hushed, so she couldn't figure out what they are talking about. Pansy couldn't help but stare at Draco's cool, silver-gray eyes. They reminded her of smoke coming out of the Hogwarts chimneys during one of those cold winter term days. She thought about how beautiful those eyes must look if they twinkled. Probably like the lake, reflecting the moonlight on a clear night, she thought.
Pansy let out a soft sigh. So soft, no one could hear her faint breath.
She gazed at his slick, pale blond hair. She gave a small smile, thinking how much time he must have spent every morning, fixing his golden tresses in such a neat, well-kempt fashion. There wasn't a single strand of hair out of place. His mane was so shiny, as if it were some yellow-colored silk.
She then fixed her eyes on his face. He looked so cold, so "evil". And yet, also very innocent and naïve. Pansy's dark brown eyes locked onto his handsome face. She could stare at him for hours. Her eyes started to twinkle, like she was teary-eyed.
"Miss Parkinson -"
Pansy jumped, jerked her head, and kept on blinking. The quick glimpse of Draco took much, much longer than she had thought.
"Huh? Wha -" she said, as she turned her head around the classroom, still looking surprised.
"Miss Parkinson, I suggest that you quickly head downstairs, or you'll be late for your next class." ... It was Professor Binns.
Pansy then realized she was the only student left in the room. But she still sounded a little dazed. "What? ... Oh... Yes, Professor." She said in a soft voice.
Pansy finally got to her senses. The young girl hurriedly ran to the door and out the corridor. She had no time to worry about whether her classmates, Professor Binns, Blaise, or even Draco had spotted her `peeping' on him. She kept panting as she raced to her next class - at the other side of the castle.

Author's Notes:
So what do you guys think of chapter1? Needs editing? (I know it's pretty short but I usually place one scene in one chapter). Or do you have any suggestions for the next chapter? Don't forget to submit your reviews! I'm pretty new to this fanfiction writing thing (but I've been reading fanfics for years!) so do be nice, ok? And do read my other fanfics. Thanks!
