"You've always been this way since highschool

Flirtatious and quite loud

I find your sense of humour spiteful

It shouldn't make you proud.."

"What in the name of Hogwarts are you singing?" Draco Malfoy found himself asking as he observed a tall blonde girl who sat alone beside the lake.

"Who's David" came the reply "I'm a Busted freak" The girl looked up into his grey eyes with a smirk "You're so painfully Pureblood"

The popular Slythering 7th year frowned "What do you mean?" he quizzed, confused by her words.

"Not knowing what I was singing makes you so obviously Pureblood" she shrugged, feeling no need to explain any further.

"You're not, then?" he frowned once more, staring at the Slytherin badge on her black robes.

"Half and half" the blonde witch replied with a soft smile "Not all Slytherins are of wizarding parentage you know" she seemed to find soemthign ammusing in his confusion, judging by the way she was smiling.

This surprised Draco and, acting on impulse, he took a seat on the grass beside her.

"I'm Draco Malfoy" he found himself saying only a moment later.

"Kayleigh hemlock" the words came with an odd note of pride. this was understandable, seeing as her father was Head of the Department of Magical Games and Sports. "But you can just call me Kale"

"What band were you talking about? Busted?"

"Yeah, I'm something of a mosher when it comes to music" Kale chuckled

"A what?" he had to ask.

"A mosher. I like rock or dark music" she replied, patiently, still finding it funny that he hadn't understood her. "Do you like any muggle bands?"

"I've never heard any" Why did he feel embarrassed to admit this to her?

"Well, do you like fast music, like rock or anythign like that?"

"I guess so" he shrugged, unsure of what she was on about.

"You'd probably like Linkin Park or Green Day" she decided with a nod. Ina second she was digging through her robe pocket before pulling out ehr MP3 player.

"I thought things like that wouldn't work around Hogwarts"

"I put a charm on it so it does" kale told him proudly as she selected a song and handed him the headphones "Put these in your ears then"

"Alright..." Draco didn't seem to know what they would do, much to Kale's ammusement.

Within moments a song very familiar to Kale was blasting into Draco's ears. He nodded his head with the beat as he listened to a song he figured out must have been called Breaking The Habit. he had to admit, he liked it. Which was odd concidering it was a muggle song.

"See, I told you that you'd like it" she grinned "Linkin Park are one of my faves"

"Yeah" he agreed, removing the headphones "It's a pretty good song" He gave her a wry little smile "But I shouldn't have anything to do with muggles, my father would hate that?"

"Have you always been such a Daddy's boy?"

"I am not!"

"You are. You must always do what he says. You lot are all the same!" she sighed

"What lot?"

"Purebloods!" And with that she would say no more, simply staring at the lake as he ranted on at her. It wasn't like she was listening though.

"Kale..."

She looked up then groaned, now he knew she was listening again!

"Explain what you meant" his voice was level, not showing any emotion.

"You all seem to think that muggles are scum, but apart from magic you are identical to them. I think it's stupid. And you always play by your own rules, never thinking outside what you are told"

With a sigh Draco knew what she meant "You're wrong. We aren't al llike that"

"Perhaps not, but it's rare for one of you to be different"

"it's just hard... You wouldn't understand..."

"try me" she said seriously, watching him curiously

"You're kidding.." he looked like he couldn't believe his ears.

"No, seriously, I want to try to understand..."

"Well, alright..."
