Aquarius Tonnerre gulped in horror, for the first time in her life, she got a failing grade. Potions was never a subject she passed easily, considering the fact that she was a Ravenclaw.
"Oh! Zodiac girl got a T!"
"Poor soul, maybe she's knocked her brains out."
"What kind of Ravenclaw is that?"
Everyone jeered with laughter and teases; she was already forming beads of tears at the edge of her blue orbs. Not as soon as Draco Malfoy entered the room and sat beside the crying girl, horrified. It took him good 20 seconds whether to say something, or just shut up.
"All of you stay quiet before I hex the living hell out of you."
Just as he finished his statement, Professor Slughorn had entered the room.
It had been dead silent, not because of the boring lecture, but because of Malfoy's sudden outburst.
Shit, he thought, averting his gaze from the Ravenclaw girl.
'Thank you.' Aquarius neatly wrote on her parchment before handing it to Draco.
He simply rolled his eyes and crumpled the sheet of parchment, but he received a warm-smile from the girl. Draco thought on why he had never seen this girl anywhere-
-why would he even bother?
Obviously she knew him, gathering much information as well as she could possibly remember.
Aquarius was terribly quiet, but her soft voice gave him chills…almost eerie but breathtaking.
"Class dismissed."
With that, both of them parted ways.
Wondering if how they would react later in reflecting what bizarre thing just happened.
