Draco Malfoy Falls For the Good Girl

Author's Note: I don't own any characters or Harry Potter... This is my second ever fanfiction and I hope to make it into a nice story

"Crabbe! Where have you been? I've been looking all over for you." Draco strides up to Crabbe from behind a slightly annoyed expression on his face.

"I better had known you'd make me late," he continued as he came to stand beside Crabbe. As he did he noticed that Crabbe was in conversation and with a rather small girl, probably a whole head shorter than him no doubt.

"And who is this," Draco remarked with his usual smirk on his face.

"Um, well she..." Crabbe started but was cut off as the small girl took a step forward to face him herself.

"I'm Astoria Greengrass, I'm two years below you and I was just asking your friend if he would like to buy some cupcakes for a fundraiser."

"Cupcakes? Really Crabbe I can expect you to be wasting your time on cupcakes and fundraisers when we're supposed to be at the game!"

Without a second glance Draco spun on his heal and marched off, Crabbe rushed after him with an armful of cupcakes. Astoria stood there quietly and a little in shock, she had just met Draco Malfoy, the boy whom all the girls in Slitherin drooled over and would die to get a chance to talk to. She had finally come face to face with the guy she had a crush on and she wasn't going to leave it at that. He had spoken to her, well he hadn't actually directly talked to her... yet.

Later that week in the Slitherin common room, Draco was lounging back on the couch talking/complaining to Goyle and Theo.

Draco was so absorbed in his conversation that he didn't notice when Astoria came in and sat on one of the couches. She sat there for a while merely listening, but finally she decided it was time to announce her presence.

"eeh hmm," she coughed in that obvious sort of way to get attention. They all turned to look in her direction, a little bewildered that someone had darned interrupt their conversation.

"And what do you want little girl?" Goyle smirked.

"She probably wants to sell us some cupcakes for her fundraiser," he pronounced the last word with a little extra emphasis than necessary. They chuckled mockingly as they waited for her response. She was a little embarrassed but she couldn't believe that he had actually recognised her and even though she knew she shouldn't let such a little thing please her she couldn't help but smile, despite the mocking laughs.

"What's this? You like being in the spotlight of negative attention or what. Now scram little girl." Theo said between chuckles.

Looking at Malfoy she shyly said, "I was rather hoping Mr. Malfoy would help me with my potions, I can't understand them at all and heard that he was quite good at them."

Draco had been watching her with a smirk the whole time, but it seems this was his limit and he burst out laughing, Goyle and Theo joined in to.

"Help you? And why would I waste my time doing such a thing as that." He replied with a mocking tone and expression. She thought then that maybe she had taken the wrong approach, she did need help with her potions but there were so many better topics she could choose.

A blush spread across her face and she stood and half ran out of the room.

"Ha! She's gone. We scared her away." Theo chuckled

Draco was still looking at the direction she left in and muttered, "Strange one that Greengrass. You two best keep your distance."

Author's Note: A second Chapter should be coming out soon if people want to see how it continues... I'll probably make quite a few chapters to let it fully develop.
