After the Start of Term feast ended, the tables got up and fallowed their prefect to their respective dorms. I was one of the first few to fallow our prefect, Nathan Smith, since my friends decided to stay and chatter about the Sirius Black gossip. Once again, all about Potter. For people who hate him, he sure is a hot topic.
"Ebony!" A voice shouted through the crowd. I turn to see Millicent jogging my way. "Ebony," she pants when she reaches me, "I need to ask you something."
"Yes?" I pondered.
She stared straight into my eyes, concern swept through her face. "Ebony... Do you by any chance have a crush on Malfoy?"
My eyes widened. Did I? Never before had I thought on the matter. But... He does seem like a nice guy to me... "N-no! We're just friends Millie!"
Millicent eased up, "Good."
"Why would you ask me such a thing?"
"Because," Millie crossed her arms, "Pansy does. That would be a battle you could not win."
My body tensed. I could feel the air breeze by my ears as they grew hot. Only earlier had dementors terrorized the train leaving the boy who lived unconscious, but this? This was truly much more terrifying. Pansy Parkinson was the most looked up to girl in all of Slytherin. Even upperclassmen adored her. If I accidentally crossed her... It would be the end of me.
I smirked, "Then I have nothing to worry about."
I turned my heel and strode as quickly as possible towards the Grand Staircase to make my way towards the dungeons. Keeping my head down, I made sure to avoid people by staring at their feet. Suddenly, a figure block my path and I collided with it. Falling to the grounds, the books I had previously been holding were askew across the ground.
"Watch were you're-," The voice paused, "Oh, Ebony. I didn't see you there."
My vision was a tad blurry from the adrenaline. I was now staring at a pale hand gestured toward me. As I took it I heard the voice say again, "I ordered Crabbe and Goyle to gather your books. I'm sorry for the inconvenience."
My vision cleared as I look at the persons face. It seems as if I have the pleasure to bump into Mr. Malfoy once again.
"O-oh... Thank you Draco. You really didn't have to."
"But I did. We don't need a fellow Slytherin being made a fool, do we? Here, let me escort you to the Common Room."
I nodded as we did so. As we walked we had lost ourselves in conversation. At first it was basic things like classes and politics, but then it was more. Our futures, hopes, and even partly our pasts. Once we got to the Slytherin Dungeon we didn't even stop. The two of us sat on the couch at stared into the fire. On occasion, people like Pansy or Gregory would join us, but for the most part it was just the two of us. In short I had learned two things leading to one today. First, I was to not fall in love with Draco Malfoy. Second, the first task would not be as easy as it sounded. This year will be interesting...
I yawned and stood up from the couch, stretching. "I must thank you for being quite the hero today, but I'm afraid I must retire."
Draco got up as well, "Before you go, may I ask one thing?"
"Always."
"Sometime soon The Curse Breakers will be at Hogsmeade. Will you accompany me?"
"Of course..."
