Soooo my first HP storieee so yea enjoy!
Disclaimer: I don't own HP sooo yea...I only own Flora.
Hello, my name is Flora, Flora Tonks. Yes I know you might be thinking of my distant cousin Tonks, the amazing Metamorphagis, in which I haven't inherited that gene. Although, I am an Animagus, turning into a lithe Cheetah. Enough about me, on to my story…..
Sharp jabbing pains aimed at my stomach, dulling to soft pokes. My eyes fluttered open to see Hermione's goldeny red locks. "Come on Flora, we'll be late!" she exclaimed shrilly. "Alright already, I'm up!" I grumbled sleepily, hauling myself out of bed and quickly pulling on my robes. Hermione opened the door to the girl's dorm and we dashed down the staircase. I nearly collided with a messy dark haired boy with round spectacles, "Blimey Flor." He smiled, placing his hands on my shoulders to slow me down. I flushed slightly, "And a good morning to you Harry." Next to him stood another boy with flaming red hair that seemed to clash with his Gryffindor robes. "Morning Flor." He mumbled, Ron always seemed to have a problem with mornings, just like me. "Hello Ron." Hermione said cheerfully, "Let's get to the Great Hall then." She made her way out of the Portrait Hole followed by the others.
I slid into a seat at our house's table. Ron dug in immediately, stuffing his face with the various foods. Hermione rolled her eyes in annoyance, but tried to hide her amusement. A blonde haired boy at the Slytherin Table caught my eye, his mouth upturned into what looked like a smile but was masked by the sneering face plastered onto his face. I glared at him with pure hatred, darn that Draco Malfoy. Harry glanced at her worriedly, "Draco bothering you?" he asked. I turned to him, "Yes! He keeps on trying to talk to me and he smiles all the time now!" Hermione grinned, "Flora, I think he likes you." Ron, Harry and I all were shocked, "LIKES ME?" I said. Ron's mouth opened so wide some unchewed food rolled out onto his plate, Hermione stared in disgust. Harry pulled himself together, "What makes you think that Hermione?" he asked her. Hermione turned her attention to him and started, "Well, if he keeps on looking at you and smiling, he probably thinks you're pretty." I blushed at this, "And he's trying to corner you so he can talk to you." She said simply. I was dumbstruck, Draco had been, and always will be, my enemy. " 'Ow do o kno' dis 'Erm-ioniny?" Ron muttered through a mouthful of food. Hermione snorted in disapproval before answering, "Always with a tone of surprise."
The next class we had was Potions, with Slytherin. I walked in with Hermione and wasn't surprised to see Draco hovering at the doorway. "Flora!" he called out and I ignored him, walking over to a table and setting my stuff down. Before Draco could move any closer, Snape came to my rescue, "Sit down class and turn to page 20 in your books." The flutter of pages filled the room and we began our assignment.
After class, Draco lingered and waited for me to finish, "Just talk to him Flor." Hermione whispered into my ear, giving me a small shove in his direction. I stumbled forward and Draco grinned at me. "Malfoy." I said, my voice on the verge of a growl, He locked eyes with mine. "Hello Flora." He said, in a voice I've never heard him use before, one full of emotion and gentleness. It was quite unlike his usual jarring sneer, I blinked in surprise. "Well I was wondering.." he started, keeping his gaze level, "If you didn't have plans already would you go to Hogsmeade with me?" Before I could ponder this thought I answered, "Yes." Draco smiled widely and kissed me on the cheek lightly, "See you!" he called as he raced for the Slytherin Dungeons. Hermione cornered me outside, "So, What happened?" My hand lingered on my cheek, "I'm not sure, but apparently I have a date with my arch nemesis."
We all sat in front of the crackling fireplace, flames dancing. "WHY did you say YES to DRACO?" Ron exclaimed, throwing his hands up into the air wildly. "I told you I have no clue." I murmured. Hermione hugged me tightly, "Ignore Ron, I'm so happy for you." I smiled, "Thanks Hermione." Harry was unusually silent, staring off into space as the fire flickered across his face. "Harry?" I said softly, "Are you alright?" He took in a deep breath before answering, "Yea, congrats." He muttered crossly, making his way to the Boy's dorms. My brows knitted in confusion, I looked at Ron for an explanation that chuckled nervously and darted after Harry.
